Teach me a lesson? You aren't worthy

"Grandpa, Second Uncle, I know you're worried about me, but even if I told you the herbs' names and what they look like, you wouldn't be able to find them!"

At Mu Yunxi's words, Mu Zhantian and Mu Zhenhai immediately fell silent.

But neither of them agreed.

"Absolutely not. It's too dangerous for you to go alone. I forbid it!"

Danger lurked everywhere in the Mystic Heaven Demon Forest, and the slightest carelessness could cost her life. Even though Xi'er had some ability to protect herself, Mu Zhantian still worried.

"Grandpa, what about this?"

Looking at Mu Zhantian's grave expression, Mu Yunxi suddenly blinked, her cunning eyes filled with a dazzling, captivating brilliance.

The next second, Mu Yunxi released her entire aura without holding anything back. The moment her high-stage Martial Master aura emerged, both Mu Zhenhai's and Mu Zhantian's expressions changed dramatically.

They stared at Mu Yunxi in shock and horror, their tongues stumbling even as they tried to speak.

"Xi-Xi'er, you..." Mu Zhenhai stared blankly at his niece, a wealth of expressions crossing his face.

Wasn't she supposed to be unable to gather inner force? How had she suddenly shot up to high-stage Martial Master?

What a fright!

Mu Yunxi nodded and looked at Mu Zhantian and Mu Zhenhai.

"Toxins had accumulated in my body before, so I couldn't cultivate. A fortunate coincidence allowed me to clear the poison. Although I've been cultivating for less than a month, I also want to temper myself in the Mystic Heaven Demon Forest. Grandpa, Second Uncle, please agree!"

Shock!

Still more shock!

Mu Zhantian had been wondering how his granddaughter had suddenly become so formidable. Good heavens, she had already become a high-stage Martial Master.

But then Mu Zhantian's expression changed dramatically.

"Xiao Hai, what did Xi'er just say? She's been cultivating for less than a month?"

"Yes, Father, that's what Xi'er said!" Mu Zhenhai nodded, also trying to digest this shocking news.

"She's already a high-stage Martial Master after cultivating for one month. Can cultivation really be that fast in this world?" Mu Zhantian froze.

Which martial cultivator hadn't started cultivating at five or six? Those with better talent were doing well if they became high-stage Martial Masters at fifteen or sixteen, yet his precious granddaughter had reached that level in less than a month.

Who out there could possess cultivation talent as freakishly monstrous as his precious granddaughter's?

At that moment, Mu Zhantian was utterly thrilled and excited.

"Hahaha, good, good!" Looking at Mu Yunxi, Mu Zhantian said "good" twice in succession. The regret that had weighed on the old man's heart for years vanished in an instant.

A high-stage Martial Master in less than a month! Anywhere in the Eastern Tomb Kingdom, she would absolutely be a genius-a true genius!

"Father, this is wonderful. From now on, you won't have to fear anyone bullying Xi'er!"

Mu Zhenhai was delighted too. With no daughter of his own, he had all but doted on Mu Yunxi as his own daughter.

"Yes, but outsiders must never learn of this. Otherwise... I absolutely won't spare that vicious poisoner!"

They had actually dared to poison his precious granddaughter for so many years right under his nose. If not for Xi'er's fortunate coincidence, she would probably still be trash now. At the thought, the fury of a Martial Emperor erupted from Mu Zhantian in wave after wave.

Mu Zhenhai also nodded solemnly, his face grim.

"Grandpa, you can feel at ease about letting me go now, right? I promise I won't let anything happen to me!"

"All right. Tempering yourself would be good, but you must attend the family testing assembly!"

"I know, Grandpa. Also, before I return, you must keep Second Brother safe. Don't let anyone near him!" Mu Yunxi reminded them, still uneasy.

"Don't worry, Xi'er. With me here watching over Mo'er, nothing will happen!" Mu Zhenhai nodded.

"Mm!"

After leaving Mu Yunmo's courtyard, Mu Yunxi had intended to set off immediately, only to find several people in her own courtyard.

The instant Mu Yunxi saw those faces, her expression darkened, and she demanded coldly, "Who let you in?"

"Ninth Sister, how can you speak to the Fourth Prince like that? He came especially to see you!"

Mu Yuyan looked at Mu Yunxi with a gentle expression, deep malice and jealous hatred lurking in the depths of her beautiful eyes.

"Heh, there's no need to visit me. I'm perfectly fine. If there's nothing else, the gate is over there. Get lost."

After speaking coldly, Mu Yunxi walked straight past them toward her room. She truly felt nothing for these people.

"Mu Yunxi, you shameless piece of trash! How dare you tell us to get lost? Who do you think you are? You're nothing but trash!"

Mu Luoyan had only just recovered these past few days after Mu Yunxi had taught her a lesson, and she wished all the more for Mu Yunxi to die.

But barely had Mu Luoyan finished speaking when she felt a gust rush toward her. The next second, Mu Yunxi sent her entire body flying with a vicious kick.

With a splash, she was kicked straight into the lake, utterly bedraggled!

"Ah-Mu Yunxi, you trash! You kicked me again!"

"Your mouth stinks so badly, I kicked you down there to wash it out!" Mu Yunxi snorted, her face full of mockery.

Her wild arrogance and insolence were truly infuriating. Even Xuanyuan Jin, standing to the side, couldn't help darkening his expression.

Seeing the Fourth Prince's displeasure with Mu Yunxi and her younger sister kicked into the lake, Mu Yuyan's beautiful eyes instantly turned vicious, and she rebuked Mu Yunxi.

"Ninth Sister, how dare you! How can you behave so rudely before the Fourth Prince, even kicking your fifth sister into the water? They say an elder sister is like a mother. I'm going to teach you a proper lesson today!"

Sure enough, as soon as Mu Yuyan spoke, Xuanyuan Jin's expression darkened further, his vicious, icy gaze settling on Mu Yunxi.

"Teach me a lesson? You aren't worthy!"

Mu Yunxi's gaze sharpened. A bloodthirsty sneer appeared on her delicate face, arrogant, overbearing, cold, and proud, as she cast Mu Yuyan a chilly glance.

"Worthy or not, I'm more than qualified to teach you a lesson!"

Mu Yuyan's gaze turned vicious. She circulated her inner force and rushed at Mu Yunxi.

Today, she would make sure this bitch's reputation lay in ruins before the Fourth Prince!

Seeing the grotesque, twisted jealousy in Mu Yuyan's eyes, Mu Yunxi couldn't help curling her lips, her face full of disdain.

Yet her stationary figure suddenly flickered and vanished, so fast that even Xuanyuan Jin's expression changed instantly.

Where was she?

Looking at Mu Yunxi, who had suddenly vanished before her eyes, Mu Yuyan's gaze shook.

Just as she was reeling in surprise, Mu Yunxi's cool, brazenly arrogant voice suddenly rang out above her head.

"Looking for me? I'm right here!"

Mu Yuyan's eyes flickered, and she looked up, catching sight of Mu Yunxi's smiling face that begged for a beating. Even more furious, Mu Yuyan attacked again.

But even if Mu Yuyan wanted a fight, she would have to ask whether Mu Yunxi was willing to oblige.

Mu Yunxi's gaze turned ruthless, a smile glinting deep in her icy, bloodthirsty eyes.
