“Yes!”

Mu Caiwei narrated the entire process of saving Ye Chen in detail. She added at the end of her sentence, “I secretly observed this person along the way and found nothing out of the ordinary. However, his calmness in the face of danger made me feel inferior.”

“I don’t care who he is!”

King Mu said, “Right now, the King Mu Fort is in a terrible situation. We can’t accept people of unknown origin. After he recovers from his injuries, we’ll give him some money and get him to leave. We’re being extremely benevolent to do that.”

“Hmm…”

Mu Caiwei nodded and turned to leave.

King Mu could not help but say, “Caiwei, the City Governor’s Mansion came to ask for your hand in marriage again…”

Mu Caiwei’s body stiffened, and her pretty face seemed to be slightly pained. However, she still said without turning her head, “W-What did father say?”

King Mu felt a slight ache in his heart from his daughter’s back. He had always felt guilty towards his daughter.

He had a son and a daughter, and Mu Caiwei was the eldest daughter.

Logically speaking, in such a family, women should have been married long ago. However, the King Mu Fort was a feudal land that was a.s.signed to Tianfeng City by the first emperor of the Great Li Dynasty. After so many years, the King Mu Fort had flourished for generations.

However, things had changed in this generation. The current king of the Great Li Dynasty had implemented a strict rule, and he frequently reaped the interests of the various dukes. Thus, he had specially sent his most loyal officials to each city to a.s.sume the position of city governor in order to keep them in check.

He had a son named Mu Junyan. Logically speaking, the King Mu Fort would be pa.s.sed down to him in the future. However, Mu Junyan had been found to have no martial vein since he was a child and was unable to cultivate. When he had just reached adulthood, he had gone out to hunt and had his legs crippled by arrows. He was destined to be a good-for-nothing in a wheelchair for the rest of his life.

Fortunately, the eldest daughter, Mu Caiwei, was more promising than her brother. She had displayed a good cultivation talent since she was young, and she had matured early, so she had taken over all the businesses in the King Mu Fort.

The King Mu Fort had been integrated with the efforts of generations of ancestors, and had always upheld the belief that the power should be pa.s.sed on to their sons instead of their daughters, because they were afraid that the thousand-year industry would end up in the hands of outsiders.

Mu Caiwei also knew her family’s situation, so she never married. She was determined to sacrifice her happiness to protect her brother and the King Mu Fort.

“I didn’t reject it, neither did I agree to it!”

King Mu said bitterly, “But you are still a woman after all, you have to pursue your own happiness, right?”

“Father!

“I was born a member of the King Mu Fort, and I’ll die in the King Mu Fort as well.”

Mu Caiwei suddenly turned around and quietly looked at King Mu, “Moreover, it’s not like you don’t know. Whether it’s the Seven Mysteries Mansion or the City Governor’s Mansion, the reason why they’ve taken a fancy to me because they want to speed up the disintegration of our King Mu Fort and seize our property, the Spirit Fog Island.”

A look of determination flashed across her heartbreakingly beautiful face at the end of her sentence, “That’s why I won’t get married. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely work hard to cultivate and protect King Mu Fort for Junyan!

“I’m going to talk to him now!”

Without waiting for a reply, she left.

King Mu said bitterly, “It’s all my fault. I’m useless. If I had the strength of the Patriarch of h.e.l.l, who in the entire Tianfeng sea area would dare to bully the King Mu Fort? Even a king would have to think twice.”

…

After Ye Chen moved into the King Mu Fort, he was arranged to stay in a guest room where the servants of the fort lived. The guest room was rather simple, but Jiu’er had brought quite a lot of daily necessities.

“I wonder where the monkey went!”

Ye Chen sat on the bed and said as if he was deep in thought, “What I need to figure out now is where I am. Only then can I think of a way to return to China.”

He slowly walked away from the room and strolled around the courtyard of the King Mu Fort. At the same time, he spread out his Divine Consciousness. Every blade of gra.s.s and tree in the fort was under his consciousness.

It had to be said that the King Mu Fort was indeed the dominating force in Tianfeng City. Not only did they have many underlings, they were also quite powerful. There was no lack of Martial Dao masters among them. If such a force was placed in China, they would be an overlord.

“Who?”

At that moment, a loud shout could be heard from afar. Following which, a young man led a group of over ten people towards him. Each of them was wearing the uniform of the King Mu Fort.

The leader was w.a.n.g Chengliang.

“So it’s you!”

w.a.n.g Chengliang’s eyes turned cold when he saw that it was Ye Chen, “Why are you walking around instead of staying in your room? Are you trying to pry into the secrets of the King Mu Fort?

“Men, take him down!”

He suddenly waved after saying that. An Illuminating Pulse warrior walked toward Ye Chen quickly.

Ye Chen’s gaze turned cold. Just when he was about to punish the person, a cold voice came from behind him, “Why are you making a ruckus?”

At the next moment, Mu Caiwei, who had already changed into a plain dress, walked over. Her presence had changed once again. If the woman in white before was a cold beauty, she now possessed a sliver of tenderness.

As she appeared, the dozen or so King Mu Fort guards, including w.a.n.g Chengliang, had their eyes glazed over.

“Caiwei!”

w.a.n.g Chengliang pointed at Ye Chen and added fuel to the fire, “This brat is an outsider. It’s one thing for us to take him in out of kindness, but he’s sneaking around in the King Mu Fort. I suspect that he’s trying to pry into the secrets of the fort.”

Mu Caiwei pursed her lips and looked at Ye Chen with a judging expression, “Is that so?”

Ye Chen smiled lightly, “Young Mistress Mu, I’m bored, so I want to take a look at your Mu family’s library and see if there’s any way to repair my martial vein!”

Seeing that he had yet to give up, Mu Caiwei frowned slightly. However, she still called an old man over and instructed, “Uncle Hai, bring him to the King Mu Fort’s library. He’s only allowed on the first floor!”

“Yes, young mistress!”

The loyal servant called Uncle Hai glanced at Ye Chen in surprise. He then led Ye Chen away under w.a.n.g Chengliang’s cold gaze.

w.a.n.g Chengliang could not help but say, “Caiwei, this person’s background is unknown. Why did you agree to let him enter the King Mu Fort’s library? What if…”

At this moment, Jiu’er walked over swiftly and said while gasping for breath, “Young mistress, bad news, bad news! The people from the City Governor’s Mansion are here again!”

“What?!”

Mu Caiwei’s expression changed, then she turned around and left.

After w.a.n.g Chengliang watched her leave, his expression changed several times. He secretly gritted his teeth and said, “B*tch, haven’t I been sacrificing myself all these years? It’s fine that you’re throwing me a cold blanket, but you insist on taking care of a useless person!

“Just you wait. When the King Mu Fort is completely finished, you’ll see how I’ll torture you. I’ll take back everything I gave from you. You’ll wish that you were dead!”
