The Nalan Family's waste didn't die?
He even came back?
Furthermore, he knocked out a captain of the Mu Family the moment he made a move!
A slap to the face!
Mu Chen could actually feel his own face burning!
He had just said that Nalan Chaoge was bound to die without a doubt, yet not even the time it took to brew a cup of tea had passed, and the fellow had grandly returned.
Nalan Chaoge was back, then what about Mu Tong?
What about the Dou Ling?
"S-Second Brother, why do I have the feeling that things are looking grim for Tong'er now!" Mu Xing said with a mournful expression.
He only had five sons, and now two of them were actually dead; this blow was not something he could endure.
"Eldest Brother, remain calm and collected. Even if the Nalan Family's waste has returned, it doesn't prove anything. Or perhaps Tong'er spared his life, who knows..."
"Sigh, let's hope so!" Mu Xing collapsed limply onto his chair, instantly aging quite a bit.
"Father, I actually have an idea right now on how to kill Nalan Chaoge!"
Seeing the silent Mu Family conference hall that had plunged into quietness, Mu Zhan stood up and spoke.
Mu Zhan went to train in the Jia Nan Academy last year, and could be considered to have established a not-insignificant force of his own within the Jia Nan Academy.
"Zhan'er, you... do you have a method?" Mu Chen doubtfully glanced at Mu Zhan, while continuously signaling to Mu Zhan with his eyes.
Mu Tong and Mu Lu could only be considered Mu Chen's nephews-if they died, they died, but this Mu Zhan was different. That was his own biological son, and Mu Chen already sensed how tricky Nalan Chaoge was. If any accident befell Mu Zhan...
"Father, these next few days happen to be the enrollment period for the Jia Nan Academy. Nalan Chaoge returning at this time is presumably also for that Jia Nan Academy. As long as Nalan Chaoge enters the Jia Nan Academy, I have a way to make sure he never comes back completely!" Mu Zhan made a downward diagonal chopping motion with his hand in the air.
"You mean..."
"The Jia Nan Academy is located in the chaotic Black-Corner Region, the most chaotic area in the entire continent. In the Black-Corner Region, there are no legal restrictions. What exists is merely a single rule-the law of the jungle. In other words, that is survival of the fittest. The weak have no right to survive there."
"What's more, at the Jia Nan Academy, it's no longer a place where a little young master like him gets to call the shots. I've managed affairs in the Jia Nan Academy for a year and already have my own faction!"
"How certain are you?" A fiery yearning burst forth in Mu Chen's eyes.
"I am currently a Two-star Dou Shi, and am about to advance to a Three-star Dou Shi. To deal with a tiny piece of trash, I have absolute and 100 percent certainty!"
Mu Zhan was full of confidence.
"Good..." Mu Chen smashed the teacup in his hand into powder on the floor and heavily slammed his palm onto the table. "Remember, you must keep the Nalan Family's waste in the Black-Corner Region! Firstly, to avenge your deceased brothers, and secondly, to cut off the Nalan Family's way out!"
"I understand, Father. Now, as long as Nalan Chaoge dares to enter the Jia Nan Academy, I have the confidence!" Mu Zhan was brimming with confidence. "However, what if that fellow is vigilant and refuses to go to the academy?"
"Haha, isn't this your specialty? You've already been studying in the academy for a year, and our Mu Family and the Nalan Family have been on friendly terms for generations. Naturally, you can rope him in to go!" Mu Chen offered a kindly reminder.
Then came a string of hehehe laughter.
"I understand, Father. I will definitely complete the mission!" Mu Zhan cupped his fists toward Mu Chen and then retreated back to his seat.
Marshal's Mansion of the Lionheart!
Guo'er was wearing a floral cotton long dress, revealing her sexy collarbones and fair neck.
Tall with long legs, her calves were unbound by any fabric, bare and dazzling as they were exposed to the sunlight, exposed right beneath the eyelids of a group of Nalan Family juniors.
On her feet was a pair of simple, plain-colored cloth shoes that neatly wrapped around her perfect little feet.
Her face had a light touch of powder, charming without being vulgar.
It highlighted her charming features to be even more charming,
and her alluring traits to be even more alluring. Guo'er was Nalan Chaoge's Bedwarmer Maid, her actual age even two or three years older than Nalan Chaoge. To put it bluntly in ancient terms, such a tender and lively Bedwarmer Maid was simply a plaything for the children of wealthy families.
Yet, at such an age, she had already blossomed into someone so tender and lively, resembling a freshly ripened little honey peach that left people somewhat drooling with desire.
However, everyone in the entire Nalan Royal Mansion knew that although Guo'er was a maid, the young master had never treated her deficiently in any way.
With tacit understanding, everyone treated this maid as half a mistress.
"Sister Guo'er, the young master has been out training for a month already, right? When is he coming back? Have you missed him?" A serving maid asked quietly while tidying up the room.
Guo'er was holding Nalan Chaoge's usual clothes that he didn't wear often, preparing to wash and put them away. Hearing the maid's question, a flush inevitably crept across her cheeks.
"Xiao Huangli, if you're making fun of me again, see how I deal with you! We're both serving maids, what missing or not missing is there to speak of!"
"Sister Guo'er, that's different. In our entire royal mansion, who doesn't know that you like the young master? Furthermore, you even cried when the young master left!" The maid called Huangli teased.
Seemingly recalling the scene when Nalan Chaoge left, Guo'er drifted somewhat into deep thought.
Taking advantage of the moment, Huangli brought her face right up in front of Guo'er, sizing up the maid who had plunged into spring-like romantic longing with a giggle.
Seeming to sense something, Guo'er snapped out of it and was given a scare when she saw a face suddenly appear right before her.
"Aiya, you're courting death! What are you doing?!"
"Hehe, watching Sister Guo'er daydream about romance! Sister Guo'er, you have no idea, you looked so pretty just a moment ago when you were daydreaming about romance. No wonder the young master was able to take a fancy to you!"
"Don't talk nonsense, when did I..." Guo'er paused, her complexion instantly turning even redder. "Damn little Huangli, you're the one daydreaming about romance!"
Seeing that Guo'er was feeling a bit self-conscious, Huangli boldly strolled around the room and looked over Nalan Chaoge's quarters.
"Sister Guo'er, tell me about it. Have you and the young master... done that yet?"
"Done what?"
"That, you know!"
"Aiya, how would I know which one you're talking about!"
"Aiya, it's that..." Huangli made a gesture with her two hands.
Realizing what she meant, Guo'er's face flushed crimson in an instant!
"Xiao Huangli, how dare you make fun of me! See if I don't beat you to death!" Guo'er raised her hand in a threatening gesture, frightening Huangli into scurrying off in all directions in a rush.
She tried to make a dash out the door, but with a bang, Huangli was knocked right back in by a figure that suddenly appeared at the entrance.
Huangli took a few steps back and sat flat on the ground.
Raising her head, Huangli looked at the figure at the doorway with a trace of terror on her face.
"S-S-Young Master Su!"
Nalan Su's adopted son and Nalan Chaoge's nominal adoptive elder brother had walked in from outside at some unknown time.
"What are you panicking and flustering for? Has the sky fallen?!"
Seeing Huangli get knocked down, Guo'er hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, then shot Huangli a warning look.
Huangli nervously apologized to Su Han, "Sorry, Young Master! Huangli was rash!"
Ignoring Huangli, Su Han turned his gaze onto Guo'er.
"Little Sister Guo'er, look what gift I brought back for you!"
With that, Su Han fished a light-blue hand chain out from his embrace!
