Are you the fool, or are we?
"Patriarch, this is unfair! This good-for-nothing injured me. You must uphold justice for me!"
Standing nearby, Mu Luoyan naturally could not keep her composure and clamored angrily.
"Impudent! What business do you have interrupting when your patriarch is speaking? You said yourself that Xi'er is a good-for-nothing. You, at the peak of the middle Martial Master stage, were beaten by a good-for-nothing? Are you the fool, or are we?"
Mu Zhantian roared angrily at Mu Luoyan.
His voice and imposing presence instantly sent the blood and qi churning in Mu Luoyan's chest, leaving her unable to utter a single word.
Everyone around them also fell silent, not daring to speak. After all, they too believed that no matter how formidable a good-for-nothing might be, she could not truly inflict even the slightest injury on someone at the peak of the middle Martial Master stage.
None of them were fools. They merely wanted to get rid of this good-for-nothing who was always bringing shame upon the family!
But now that the patriarch had returned, the situation was entirely different.
After Mu Zhantian's rebuke, even Mu Zhenxiang could not say anything, though his heart seethed with fury. Mu Yuyan's lowered, beautiful eyes flashed with jealousy, hatred, and malice.
Mu Yunxi took in everyone's expressions, the same faintly mocking half-smile still on her exquisite, breathtaking face.
"Enough. This matter ends here. All of you, leave!"
With those words from Mu Zhantian, no matter how furious Mu Zhenxiang was, he could only forcibly bottle up his resentment in his chest.
Mu Yunxi understood now: from this point on, she had thoroughly made enemies of her eldest uncle's entire family, as well as her third uncle's family. After all, her eldest and third uncles were both her second grandfather's sons, and had always been branches sharing the same breath.
But what did she, Mu Yunxi, have to fear? She was not afraid they would come-she was only afraid they would not!
Once she returned to her room, Mu Yunxi took a thoroughly refreshing bath and dismissed all the maids in the courtyard, telling them not to bother her unless there was something they needed.
After her bath, she climbed onto the bed. Only then did Mu Yunxi have time to truly examine her body.
A trash constitution, unable to gather inner force, deadly poison in her body, blocked meridians-just how wretched had this body's original owner been, to have been harmed until she ended up in such a ghastly state!
If not for the protection of her grandfather, whom she had acquired without any effort, and her second uncle and second elder brother's family, she firmly believed that this body's original owner would long since have been killed by that pack of jackals, wolves, tigers, and leopards.
Fortunately, because of the Heavenly Demon Pearl that man had implanted in her earlier, almost all the toxins in her body had been expelled. Even her blocked meridians had been cleared, sending a jolt through her heart.
She had never expected that wretched pearl to have such a useful effect. But whenever Mu Yunxi thought of how that damned man had implanted it in her body in such a brutal manner, a chill rose involuntarily in her heart, and murderous intent filled the depths of her eyes.
Even if you are a god, one day I, Mu Yunxi, will flay your skin and strip out your tendons! Don't think I'll let you off just because that wretched pearl of yours saved this body that was teetering on the brink!
The Mysterious Heaven Continent, also known as the Eastern Domain Continent, lay in the east of the world.
The Eastern Domain Continent was divided into six major kingdoms according to rank, and the Eastern Tomb Kingdom was a small sixth-rank kingdom at the very bottom of the six.
Aside from these, countless sects and factions were scattered across the Eastern Domain Continent!
On the Eastern Domain Continent, besides martial cultivators, there were also many spiritual cultivators. However, spiritual cultivators were rarely seen in a small sixth-rank kingdom like the Eastern Tomb Kingdom.
