As everyone knew, Still Water Sword Hall was also known as the Imperial Sword Hall. And only Xifeng Monarch Chu Xianda had enough clout to make its master, Mu Yubai, personally come out to kill someone.
When Still Water Sword Hall surrounded and hunted down Li Mu Yang, Cui Jian, one of the Supervision Department's directors, had repeatedly obstructed the City Patrol Division, which had received the news and rushed over to rescue him.
And what sort of place was the Supervision Department?
Thus, everyone knew it in their hearts: the person who truly wanted Li Mu Yang dead was none other than Xifeng Monarch Chu Xianda.
Chu Xianda was not a broad-minded man. Li Mu Yang had ruined his plans, so he had to slap Li Mu Yang in the face.
What no one had expected was that Li Mu Yang had not died. Instead, Mu Yubai had been gravely wounded. It had to be said that this slap in the face had been a devastating one.
After that incident, everyone acted as if nothing had happened.
The imperial family remained silent, and the Lu family remained silent. Even Still Water Sword Hall remained silent.
Li Mu Yang was the victim, yet no one stepped forward to give him an explanation.
Lu Xingkong put on an expression as though he were scolding Li Mu Yang for lacking propriety, but his smiling face made everyone feel that, in his eyes, Li Mu Yang understood propriety very well.
Even though Chu Xianda was displeased, he had no way to quarrel with him over this matter.

That stubborn old man truly refused to suffer
