You Were Right Not to Want That Pretty Boy
After his initial stunned moment, Mu Zhantian burst into hearty, delighted laughter.
"Hahaha, well said! Grandpa will find you a good husband someday. You were right not to want that pretty boy!"
Those words made the fourth prince's expression change dramatically, his face turning as black as ink.
Hearing her grandfather's words, Mu Yunxi could not help silently giving him a thumbs-up in her heart.
Come to think of it, that damned stone-faced fellow really did have some potential as a pretty boy!
The members of the Mu family behind them all looked mortified.
Heavens, Patriarch, the fourth prince is still right here! Couldn't you watch what you say? How awkward to bad-mouth him like that where he can hear you!
Mu Zhenhai and his son Mu Yunmo lowered their heads in even greater embarrassment and gave a light cough.
When it came to doting on and shielding that little girl Mu Yunxi, the father and son really did have to step aside whenever the old man was around. After all, the old man had absolutely no shame or limits when it came to protecting her!
"Grandpa, the fourth prince is still here!"
At last, Mu Yunmo could not resist reminding Grandpa Mu, lest something else pop out of the old man's mouth.
Who would have thought that Grandpa Mu would give a cold scoff without restraining himself in the slightest? Instead, he cast Xuanyuan Jin a chilly glance and snorted.
"Why are you still here? Our Mu family's little temple cannot accommodate a great Buddha like you, Fourth Prince. Someone, see the fourth prince out!"
Mu Zhantian's words sounded respectful, but his tone and manner showed that he did not take Xuanyuan Jin seriously at all.
Mu Yunxi gave the dark-faced Xuanyuan Jin beside her a chilly, mocking smile. You little punk, Grandpa has already shown you the door. If you still have the gall to stay, you really are utterly shameless.
Sure enough, the next moment, Xuanyuan Jin spoke with a dark face, suppressing the anger in his heart.
"The engagement has been broken. From now on, Ninth Miss Mu and I are each free to marry, with neither having anything to do with the other. I shall take my leave. There is no need to trouble any of you to see me out!"
With that, Xuanyuan Jin turned to leave, only for Mu Yunxi's languid chuckle to sound behind him.
"No one was going to see you out anyway. But don't forget the compensation you promised me, Fourth Prince. I'll come to your door to collect it in the next few days. Take care on your way out. I won't see you off!"
As Mu Yunxi's words fell, Xuanyuan Jin, who had turned to leave, truly did stiffen, his hands clenching tightly into fists at his sides.
That damned good-for-nothing! If Mu Zhantian hadn't been here today, he would certainly have made her suffer!
Watching Xuanyuan Jin leave, Mu Zhenxiang, who stood to one side seething with resentment, could not help speaking coldly.
"Patriarch, please uphold justice. Mu Yunxi severely injured my child. She must be severely punished today!"
The moment Mu Zhenxiang finished speaking, Mu Zhantian's formidable pressure at the peak Martial Saint realm came crashing down on him, and Mu Zhantian snorted coldly.
"Do you take this patriarch for an easy fool? My sweet granddaughter could severely injure that precious daughter of yours at the peak of the middle Martial Master stage? You must be fucking dreaming in broad daylight! I only wish my sweet granddaughter were a little stronger, so she wouldn't be bullied by you lot. Hmph!"
Mu Zhantian was absolutely furious. If he had not hurried back today, would those brats from his second younger brother's household really have beaten his sweet granddaughter to death?
Hearing Mu Zhantian's words, Mu Zhenxiang was utterly furious. Although he did not believe it himself either, he simply could not stomach how much the patriarch doted on that good-for-nothing Mu Yunxi!
