The figure who arrived here at this moment was none other than Mu Baishu, Clan Head of the Mu family.
The moment they saw Mu Baishu appear in person, the people stationed nearby to secretly watch Ning Xiaochuan's movements all changed expression.
Mu Baishu's appearance meant that the Mu family was about to start recruiting Ning Xiaochuan, this Saint-Level Heart Nourisher. If the Mu family made a move, what business would the families behind them still have?
