A turn of events, a visitor from the Jinghong Empire
In fact, under normal circumstances, the Mu Family should have punished Mu Qingling properly. However, considering that the incident had already occurred, and that Mu Qingling was already at the Nascent Soul Early Stage realm from the beginning, they decided to take action.
This level of Cultivation Level is practically considered high-end within the Mu Family.
Severely punishing him would also be a loss for the Mu Family.
Moreover, her father was also at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivation Level. If Mu Qingling were dealt with directly, it would inevitably affect her father, thus reducing the Mu Family's combat strength by two Nascent Soul Realm.
This is extremely disadvantageous for the Mu Family.
Mu Qingling looked at Mu Li, then said in an extremely cold voice, "Third Uncle, some things shouldn't be said carelessly. You were the ones who made me do everything I could to defeat Lin Yun'er, and now you're pushing all the responsibility onto me."
I'm too lazy to say more about this.
"But I don't want to hear Zhao Rong say those things again, or don't blame me for being ruthless."
"Furthermore, Lin Yun'er is determined to kill me. Spreading this news will do me no good. Only someone from the Mu Family would do something like this if they wanted to live."
Mu Qingling's words were extremely sharp. She coldly surveyed everyone, her aura Nascent Soul Middle Stage Mi Man out, completely lacking the fragility of a nineteen-year-old woman.
It gives off a feeling that women are just as capable as men.
Both Mu Li and Zhao Rong looked very unhappy. Mu Li was upset because Mu Qingling had contradicted him in public, while Zhao Rong was upset because Mu Qingling's tone was full of threats.
It's like, if you say that again, I'll tear her mouth apart.
Mu Li slammed his fist on the table and roared, "Mu Qingling, how dare you!"
"Alright!"
Mu Hua couldn't help but roar, his voice filled with extreme anger, like a volcano about to erupt. "Isn't the Mu Family chaotic enough already? How long are you going to keep arguing?"
Seeing the Family Head's anger, Mu Li said no more. He snorted coldly at Mu Qingling and then sat down.
A look of helplessness flashed in Mu Hua's eyes. He also bore some responsibility for helping Mu Qingling defeat Lin Yun'er in the first place, because he had advised Mu Qingling to defeat Lin Yun'er decisively.
Because the morale of the Mu Family was low at the time, they desperately needed someone to boost morale.
Moreover, with the Old Master of the Mu Family still alive and Mu Qingling possessing exceptional talent, she should be able to break through to the Void Refinement stage soon. Why would she need to fear the revenge of Lin Yun'er?
But who knew that Old Master Mu's hidden illness would suddenly flare up, Life and Death in critical condition.
If this incident hadn't happened, and everything had proceeded according to plan, Mu Qingling might have already broken through to the Nascent Soul Late Stage.
Then the old man will protect the Mu Family for another ten years. By then, Mu Qingling will have reached the Void Refinement stage, and the Mu Family will be able to stand up again.
Unfortunately, too many unexpected things happened.
However, he did not criticize Mu Qingling too much afterward; he mostly criticized the Elder and Direct Line of the clan.
In reality, those people all know the reason for the problem; they just need an excuse to shirk their responsibility.
And since everyone happened to share the same goal, they pushed all the problems onto Mu Qingling.
Mu Hua took a deep breath, calmed his emotions, and slowly said, "Mu Qingling wouldn't spread such news, so it Certain wasn't her who leaked it."
He knew that Mu Qingling was a strong-willed woman who valued her reputation and would never have an ambiguous relationship with a man.
As for the idea of keeping Little White, as Zhao Rong mentioned, the possibility of that is almost zero.
Moreover, Lin Yun'er is determined to kill Mu Qingling, and spreading the news would not benefit her.
Mu Hua immediately changed the subject, saying, "The most urgent task is not to assign blame. The incident has already occurred; we should be thinking about how to solve the problem."
Although there has been a traitor in the Mu Family, it is highly likely that one of the Great Elder.
However, the Elder of the Mu Family are all Nascent Soul Realm cultivators. Pursuing his responsibility at this time would only bring internal and external troubles to the Mu Family.
Thinking of this, Mu Hua seemed to have aged ten years.
As the head of the Mu Family, he was the last person who wanted the Mu Family to be destroyed, but unfortunately, the Mu Family's current situation was really not optimistic, and he also felt quite powerless.
Silence fell over the hall.
Everyone had a different expression.
Mu Qingling suddenly said, "You should all leave. As many as you can, go. I'll stay here at the Mu Family's residence."
This is the only way. How far they can go depends entirely on luck. With the power of the Imperial Family, unless they leave the Cangyun Empire, they will not be able to escape Lin Yun'er's clutches.
They wanted to leave without Lin Yun'er noticing.
It's very difficult!
Mu Hua gave Mu Qingling a deep look, his eyes filled with regret.
This is a genius of the Mu Family.
But now, they have no choice but to sacrifice this genius to protect the Mu Family.
Mu Hua took a deep breath and said, "This is the only way. You can each choose some important people to leave the Mu Family."
Lin Yun'er's target is Mu Qingling. As long as she is still in the Mu Family, then the others are naturally not the main concern, and some people will definitely be able to escape by chance.
The meeting ended quickly.
Everyone in the Mu Family making arrangements for those who wanted to leave, but they only made arrangements for their closest relatives. Some Elder even took their families with them and ran away.
In a short time, most of the Mu Family members fled.
Mu Qingling returned to her Small Courtyard, her expression extremely solemn.
In fact, she already knew in her heart who had leaked the news of the Old Master of the Mu Family's death; it was most likely Mu Li and Zhao Rong.
Because the two of them were the most composed, as if everything had nothing to do with them, while everyone else was filled with anxiety, they seemed completely unfazed.
It's quite obvious that they are the traitors.
But even if they are, so what?
Are we really going to treat them as traitors right now?
Mu Li is in the Nascent Soul Late Stage, his Cultivation Level is only slightly lower than that of the Family Head, so dealing with him will not be easy.
The Family Head didn't pursue the matter because the Mu Family's situation was too dire; he only hoped that Mu Li wouldn't stab them in the back.
However, the news spread throughout the city this morning, so why hasn't Lin Yun'er reacted at all?
In the past, she would have arrived at the door within half an hour of the news spreading.
They waited until evening, but there was still no movement.
Except for a few who would rather die than leave, almost the entire Mu Family has fled.
These people totaled less than twenty.
Within the Family Head line, Mu Hua and the eldest young master remain in the Mu Family, followed by Mu Qingling and her parents, as well as others who have deep feelings for the Mu Family.
Mu Li initially had no intention of leaving, but seeing that there was still no movement, he eventually left the Mu Family as well.
The next day, early morning.
A message reached the Mu Family, Mu Hua once again summoned all the remaining members.
"Everyone, perhaps our Mu Family can weather this crisis!"
Mu Hua's face was full of excitement. "Yesterday, a very important person from the Cangyun Empire came. Lin Yun'er was left in the Imperial Palace to accompany him and didn't have a chance to leave."
"His Majesty sent word today that the Mu Family is to take people to Cangyun City. The specific reason is unknown, but His Majesty has never interfered in the affairs of Lin Yun'er and my Mu Family before. This special summons might mean that my current crisis has a chance to turn around."
Distinguished status!?
Everyone was filled with doubt.
At this moment, Mu Hua suddenly said to Mu Qingling, "Qingling, I know you haven't been doing well these days, but this concerns the survival of our Mu Family. When we arrive in Cangyun City, you must be humble towards His Majesty."
"Or you could join the Imperial Family directly; with your qualifications, His Majesty would Certain be tempted."
"I know you have a strong and upright character, but joining the Imperial Family will not make you suffer."
Mu Qingling remained silent, Su Chen's image appearing in her mind. In truth, compared to the Imperial Family, she would rather become Su Chen's disciple.
Unfortunately, Su Chen might not be interested in her.
Mu Qingling sighed and said, "I understand."
"But Family Head, who exactly is this important figure?"
Mu Hua shook his head, his expression somewhat grave, and said, "I'm not entirely sure, but I've heard they're from the Jinghong Empire. That place is teeming with powerful figures, so anyone who comes here is bound to be extraordinary. We should just avoid provoking them."
