Everyone who watched Hun Changqing swat Mu Zhan to death as though he were an ant wore an expression that said they had expected as much. Then they turned even stranger looks on the two princesses who had just been discussing Mu Zhan and Hun Changqing.
The two princesses, meanwhile, stared in shock at Hun Changqing and the cloud of blood mist before him, their mouths slightly open.
Seemingly at last noticing the odd looks everyone was giving them, they realized their earlier conversation had apparently been overheard. Their pretty faces flushed, and they wished they could find a hole to crawl into.
Beside them, Hai Bodong, whom Hun Changqing had questioned, replied awkwardly.
"Uh... my apologies, my lord. I had only just noticed someone unleashing Dou Qi to attack you. Before I could see who it was, you had already struck him into a cloud of blood mist. I don't know who he was either."
Upon hearing their exchange, the mischievous Yao Yue immediately stood up and addressed them.
"That was Mu Zhan! You... you actually killed him!"
"Mu Zhan!"
Hun Changqing thought the name sounded somewhat familiar.
"That's right, Mu Zhan!"
Yao Yue emphasized his name again.
"Who's Mu Zhan?"
Yao Yue: ...
Yao Yue felt her face grow even redder. She had thought the man in black knew who Mu Zhan was and would panic a little once she revealed his identity. Instead, he did not even know him. She felt as though she had thoroughly embarrassed herself again.
She steeled herself and continued.
"Mu Zhan was the son of Mu Chen, the head of the Mu Family, who doted on him endlessly. Mu Chen has already reached the level of a High-Rank Dou Wang. You're in for terrible trouble now that you've killed Mu Zhan!"
