Su Chen just wanted to keep a low profile. If it were when he had just Transmigration, he might have enjoyed the feeling of being superior to others.

But right now, Su Chen only felt troubled.

It's all pointless.

Cangyun King was somewhat alarmed. He quickly nodded, "Yes, yes, I was a little overthinking things."

Inside the hall, everyone felt a strange mix of emotions as they looked at the Cangyun King in this state.

Is this the king of the Cangyun Empire?

He was usually imposing and domineering, but he became so meek and submissive in front of Su Chen.

Indeed, strength is the only true measure of success.

Cangyun King hurriedly said, "Someone, quickly arrange seats for the members of the Mu Family."

Su Chen came with the Mu Family. Although he didn't know what had happened, he figured their relationship must be good, so it was probably wise to treat the Mu Family with more respect just to be on the safe side.

However, thinking about what Lin Yun'er had been doing recently, he felt a little heavy-hearted. It seemed he needed to find an opportunity to make amends to the Mu Family.

As Heavenly Prodigy of the Imperial Family, Lin Yun'er was well aware of what he had done, and naturally knew what he had done to the Mu Family.

However, the Mu Family was not worth his protection, so even though the Cangyun King knew about it, he never interfered.

Now, seeing the Mu Family and Su Chen arrive together, he was extremely flustered.

If the Mu Family and Su Chen really have a good relationship, then the Cangyun Imperial House is doomed.

The only good news is that Lin Yun'er did not cause any substantial harm to the Mu Family, nor did she kill any members of the Mu Family. She only targeted the Mu Family. As long as she is willing to make substantial compensation, the Mu Family will definitely not say anything more.

Now.

Lin Yun'er was completely dumbfounded. How could the Mu Family be related to Su Chen? The difference in their status was just too great.

The Mu Family and Su Chen are from completely different worlds.

She even began to doubt Su Chen's true identity.

However, seeing that Su Yu knelt down directly before Su Chen, she didn't dare to doubt him. Su Yu's Su Family background was genuine, and he couldn't possibly have mistaken her for someone else.

Thinking of this, she cautiously looked at Su Chen.

So this is the Young Master of the Su Family!?

The usually proud and arrogant Lin Yun'er showed a hint of inferiority in her eyes after seeing Su Chen.

She can be arrogant in the Cangyun Empire, but once she leaves this place, Lin Yun'er is nothing.

Although she is usually domineering, being born into the Imperial Family, Lin Yun'er is not stupid. She naturally knows who she can offend and who she cannot.

She looked at Mu Qingling again, her fists clenching slightly.

Hateful!

Mu Qingling!

Lin Yun'er was filled with resentment. If the Mu Family really had some connection with Su Chen, then it would be impossible for her to target the Mu Family later.

Even if she were incredibly bold, she wouldn't dare offend the Su Family.

The members of the Mu Family were dazed when Cangyun King invited them to sit down. Mu Hua was somewhat confused. They had originally planned to lower their attitude and be as humble as possible when they came in.

The outcome was unexpected, which was something Mu Hua hadn't anticipated.

Now.

Mu Qingling sat down next to Su Chen, her eyes burning with desire as she looked at him.

Is he the Lord of the Eastern Region?

If I could become his disciple, it would be an absolutely incredible opportunity for me.

Thinking of this, Mu Qingling lowered her head in disappointment. Throughout the journey, Su Chen's attitude towards her had been indifferent, clearly indicating that he was not very satisfied with her.

Can I really become his disciple?

Su Chen is Supreme Sage- level powerhouse, standing at the pinnacle of the entire Xuantian Realm. Such a figure is a powerhouse she can never reach.

For a moment, Mu Qingling's heart was filled with bitterness.

"Well, let's just take it one step at a time."

Su Yu only wanted to count the number of forces in the Cangyun Empire, and the task was completed in about half an hour.

He didn't linger; after bowing to Su Chen, he left the Cangyun Empire.

Su Chen naturally left with Mu Qingling and the others.

As they walked out of the main hall, Mu Hua finally realized what was happening. His face was full of panic as he followed along to the side, not daring to walk in front of Su Chen at all.

Thinking back to his state of mind when he left the Mu Family, he had considered directly driving Su Chen away, but he didn't do so because of Mu Qingling.

Fortunately!

If they did that, the Mu Family's crisis would not be so easily resolved, and they might even offend this powerful figure.

Shortly after returning to their residence, Cangyun King took Lin Yun'er to apologize to the Mu Family and resolve the feud between Lin Yun'er Mu Family.

Even though Lin Yun'er was extremely unwilling, since the Mu Family had some connection with Su Chen, she naturally didn't dare to continue targeting the Mu Family.

That concludes the discussion.

The Mu Family's crisis was thus resolved.

Mu Hua Courtyard, looking up at the sky with a somewhat vacant expression.

Is that all?

He had originally planned to act humble and play the victim once he entered Cangyun City to gain the Cangyun King's sympathy, but things just inexplicably ended up like this.

Immediately afterwards, Mu Hua looked towards the direction of Mu Qingling's Courtyard, and an expression of excitement appeared on his face.

That person is Su Chen. If Mu Qingling could become his disciple, it would be a great joy for the entire Mu Family.

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, Mu Hua's expression turned extremely cold.

Now that the Mu Family's crisis has been resolved, we must find the traitor in the Mu Family once we return to Jinling City.

In fact, the Mu Family is rather corrupt, Mu Hua has always known this. It is precisely because of this that the Mu Family has Yuelai and weaker.

This crisis also changed Mu Hua's mindset. He used to be gentle in his dealings, but that approach was clearly not working. He needed to be strict when necessary, otherwise he would never be able to manage the Mu Family well.

Taking a deep breath, Mu Hua's eyes gradually sharpened.

In another Courtyard.

Su Chen stood with his hands behind his back, and Mu Qingling stood obediently beside him. She would glance at Su Chen from time to time, and her bright eyes would occasionally flash with admiration and awe.

Past a while, Su Chen said calmly, "Well, have you figured out how to satisfy me?"

Upon hearing Su Chen's words, Mu Qingling immediately showed an embarrassed expression.

"Domain Lord, I am foolish and truly do not know what you want me to do."

Although Su Chen's attitude towards her was calm, he didn't seem to dislike or dislike her, so Mu Qingling guessed that Su Chen still had some intention of taking her as his disciple.

Unfortunately, she didn't know what Su Chen's Trial was. Perhaps it had already begun, but she just hadn't noticed.

Mu Qingling originally addressed Su Chen as "Sir" because she didn't know his identity, but now that she does, she's a little hesitant to call him that anymore.

Su Chen didn't speak. He snapped his fingers lightly, and the two of them instantly disappeared from Cangyun City.

When Mu Qingling came to her senses again, she had arrived at a high mountain, where she could vaguely see a magnificent city in the distance.

That's... Cangyun City!?

Mu Qingling was immediately startled. She could see some very iconic buildings in the city, so she recognized it as Cangyun City.

Is this the Lord of the Eastern Region?

Mu Qingling couldn't help but swallow hard. To be able to teleport out in the blink of an eye—what terrifying strength!
