Mu Xue wanted to kill herself, leading Lu Shui to believe Mu Xue knew he was a Reincarnator. Otherwise, why would she want to kill him for no reason?
But Lu Shui quickly overturned this guess.
"No, if Mu Xue knew I was also a Reincarnator, she wouldn't use her Slaughter Domain on me. She would have directly cut off my legs and then come to question if I was here to break off the engagement."
Lu Shui continuously tried to calm himself. Only by staying calm could he have a chance to turn things around.
"Then what is Mu Xue's objective now? She deliberately released killing intent towards me, acting as if she could kill me at any moment. What is she after?"
Breaking off the engagement. Lu Shui instantly found the reason.
Mu Xue didn't want to break off the engagement. She was threatening him.
Threatening him that if he dared to break off the engagement, she would dare to kill.
Lu Shui's heart grew cold.
Naive. Was this young master raised on threats?
"Mu Xue greets the Patriarch." Mu Xue stood beside Lu Shui and gave a slight bow to the Mu Family Patriarch.
She didn't look at Lu Shui.
But Lu Shui felt it. The surrounding killing aura disappeared, and the Slaughter Domain was gone.
However, a blade of slaughter hung over his back. This blade constantly threatened him, as if telling him it could fall at any moment.
"As expected, Mu Xue is just threatening me. As long as I dare to break off the engagement, she will dare to make a move."
Lu Shui swallowed. He felt his back was already drenched in sweat.
This was cold sweat.
Zhen Wu and Zhen Ling, standing behind him, also felt their young master seemed to be faltering. As expected, the young master relied on his acting skills to stand here.
He was actually very afraid of such grand occasions.
But they could only watch; they couldn't help their young master.
They hoped their young master wouldn't become enraged and aggressive because of this.
"Nephew Lu, Mu Xue is here. You can speak now," Mu Yuan said.
Everyone else was also looking at Lu Shui, watching him break off the engagement.
Mu Xue also turned to look at Lu Shui. This was the first time in years she had looked at Lu Shui like this, so close, so clearly.
Hearing Mu Yuan's words, Lu Shui naturally looked at Mu Xue. This was the first time he had seen Mu Xue at this age, looking a bit youthful.
But she was still very beautiful.
Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I saw Mu Xue.
"Young Master Lu, do you need something from me?" Mu Xue looked at Lu Shui and asked proactively.
Her voice was soft, gentle, and pleasant to hear.
Hearing Mu Xue's words, Lu Shui suddenly realized. Had Mu Xue used a Charm Technique on him?
Lu Shui frowned deeply. The main reason was that the blade behind him was still pointed at him. Now it had moved to the back of his neck. If he said the wrong thing, the blade would fall.
Let alone that he didn't have Heaven and Earth Power. Even if Lu Shui hadn't used Heaven and Earth Power, he wouldn't be Mu Xue's opponent.
The time difference was too great. What should he do?
At this moment, everyone was looking at Lu Shui, waiting to hear what infuriating words he would use to break off the engagement.
Several people from the Mu family were prepared to be humiliated.
And Zhen Wu and Zhen Ling were prepared for the Mu family's great anger.
Everyone was mentally exhausted.
At this moment, Lu Shui spoke. His voice sounded a bit stiff:
"I heard, I heard Miss Mu has lost all her cultivation?"
Mu Xue looked at Lu Shui and nodded. She didn't speak.
Lu Shui looked at Mu Xue, constantly encouraging himself internally, Don't be afraid, be bolder.
Subsequently, he continued:
"Miss Mu should know that our Lu family wants to marry a beloved daughter of heaven, not a commoner who has lost all cultivation."
Mu Xue still looked at Lu Shui, still nodded, and still didn't speak.
"Our Lu Family Third Elder was furious upon learning that Miss Mu had lost all her cultivation. He specifically sent me to the Mu family to tell Miss Mu one thing," Lu Shui's words carried a cold edge.
At this moment, everyone was waiting for Lu Shui to say the rest.
The Mu Family Three remained silent, their expressions grim.
Zhen Wu and Zhen Ling felt a little fortunate that their young master hadn't said anything excessive.
Mu Xue still looked at Lu Shui, waiting.
However, Lu Shui didn't speak immediately. Instead, he reached out towards Zhen Wu:
"Book."
Zhen Wu was a bit Meng Bi, a book? What book?
Soon he remembered, it should be a certain Mysterious Book.
Although he didn't understand what the young master was doing, he still handed over the Mysterious Book immediately.
Lu Shui took the Mysterious Book, then handed it to Mu Xue, saying:
"This book is called the Mysterious Book. It was accidentally obtained by my Lu Family. Miss Mu, please keep it for now."
Mu Xue looked at Lu Shui. She reached out and took the Mysterious Book, still not speaking.
Her gaze never left Lu Shui.
Lu Shui's actions were unpredictable. Was this Courtesy Before Force?
Lu Shui ignored everyone's gaze and reached out to Zhen Wu again:
"Sky Water Snow Lotus."
Zhen Wu naturally handed over the Sky Water Snow Lotus.
After obtaining the Sky Water Snow Lotus, Lu Shui placed it on the Mysterious Book in Mu Xue's hand, saying:
"This is the Sky Water Snow Lotus. It has considerable healing effects. I hope it can help Miss Mu. Miss Mu, please keep it safe."
The Next Moment, Lu Shui continued to extend his hand to Zhen Wu. This time, he didn't speak.
Zhen Wu Cannot Understand, but still handed over some spiritual herbs.
"This is Ink Dew Grass, a sacred medicine for detoxification. Miss Mu, please keep it safe."
"This is He Mu Yu. It has the effect of clearing the mind and can make cultivation twice as effective with half the effort."
"This is Shu Yang Cao. It can reveal hidden ailments and explore hidden dangers."
"This is..."
"This is..."
Lu Shui only stopped saying "This is..." when Zhen Wu Zhen Ling truly had nothing left to give.
At this point, Mu Xue was already holding a large pile of items, almost unable to hold them all.
But no one knew what Lu Shui was trying to do.
After giving away all these things, Lu Shui sighed inwardly. That blade was getting closer and closer. Despite giving so many things, there was no sign of it loosening.
But would he, Lu Shui, be threatened like this?
Finally, Lu Shui looked at Mu Xue, his voice stern and grand:
"These are just small tokens of my Lu Family's sincerity. The Third Elder is angered by the Mu Family's actions, so he has come this time to tell Miss Mu.
Miss Mu is engaged to my Lu Family and is a part of my Lu Family. If her cultivation is lost, my Lu Family has the right to know about it.
My Lu Family bears absolute responsibility for this matter. Therefore, if Miss Mu has any needs, she can come to my Lu Family at any time.
Similarly, do not conceal any major events from my Lu Family.
I hope Miss Mu remembers this.
This is the main purpose of my visit to the Mu Family this time."
As if. I'm here to break off the engagement. Lu Shui dared not say this sentence aloud.
Lu Shui's voice was very loud, and the entire hall could hear it clearly.
The Mu Family members were stunned after hearing this. Had they misheard?
Even Zhen Wu Zhen Ling were stunned.
They couldn't help but want to remind the young master that it wasn't like this at all.
We are here to break off the engagement.
But before everyone could react, Lu Shui turned to the Mu Family Three, his voice now carrying a tone of questioning:
"After I arrived at the Mu Family, I heard that the Mu Family cut off Mu Xue's cultivation resources, seized her Dwelling Place, and even charged her for things, treating her as if she were buying and selling."
