Volume 1_Chapter 276: Going to the Mu Family

Because of this guess, the two quickly crossed the gate between the two worlds.

And then, they were surrounded.

Not for anything else, but because the place they arrived at was the Kongming Academy of the Hidden World.

Yun Qiyue looked at Ye Lanjue, asking with her eyes: What now?

These people all looked very powerful.

Just like the people who surrounded and killed her that day.

However, if it were just those people, Yun Qiyue would not need to worry.

Because she could barely handle those people.

It was just that some of these people had the strength of that perverted old man, or were even more unfathomable.

For a moment, Yun Qiyue's expression was somewhat solemn.

Ye Lanjue just looked at Yun Qiyue with a "don't be impatient" gaze.

It made Yun Qiyue feel as if everything was under Ye Lanjue's control, and she felt inexplicably at ease.

Then, these people surrounding them did not make a move, and Ye Lanjue had no intention of making a move, so Yun Qiyue naturally would not think of making a move at this time.

Next, the crowd gradually dispersed, and a group of people who didn't look so ordinary walked toward the two.

Yun Qiyue looked at this familiar scene and couldn't help but lean closer to Ye Lanjue and ask, "You wouldn't happen to be the Master of Kongming Academy too, would you?"

Ye Lanjue glanced at Yun Qiyue, his eyes complex.

But he did not answer Yun Qiyue's question.

And Yun Qiyue soon knew the answer.

These people were not here for Ye Lanjue, but for Yun Qiyue.

And the person who came for Yun Qiyue was the Patriarch of the Mu Family.

The Mu Family Patriarch in the Hidden World had the same rank as the Dean of Kongming Academy.

So, when the Mu Family Patriarch appeared, everyone naturally made way.

"You are Wan'er's daughter." The Mu Family Patriarch looked at Yun Qiyue, his tone certain.

"Yes." Yun Qiyue admitted.

There was nothing that couldn't be admitted.

"Follow me."

The Mu Family Patriarch looked at Yun Qiyue with the posture of an elder, then turned around.

However, Yun Qiyue did not follow.

Just because someone told her to follow, she would? No way.

After all, although they were her mother's clan, she didn't know if these people were good or bad.

Moreover, if the Mu family had no problems, why did her mother leave back then?

And that Zhong Hai, why did he try to kill her several times?

In short, she had no good impression of the Mu family, so she didn't trust them.

Although she would eventually go to the Mu family.

But she didn't want to go now without understanding anything.

Seeing Yun Qiyue didn't follow, the Mu Patriarch turned back.

When he met Yun Qiyue's gaze, the Mu Patriarch already understood what Yun Qiyue was thinking.

However, he didn't say anything, only saying: "Could it be that you don't want to see that young man from Tianqi?"

Yun Qiyue was startled.

Young man?

Was he talking about Yun Xiang?

"What did you do to him?" Yun Qiyue asked.

The Mu Patriarch didn't continue to say anything, just turned and walked away.

With an attitude of "follow if you want, don't if you don't."

Yun Qiyue hesitated for only a moment before pulling Ye Lanjue to follow.

When the two followed the Mu family, the academy students watched, their eyes filled with envy, and they were whispering behind them.

However, who cared what they were whispering about?

Yun Qiyue and Ye Lanjue were brought back to the Mu family.

The Mu family had a very high status in the Hidden World, second only to the Hua family.

Although it was called a family, the Mu family's territory was extremely large, the kind that couldn't be seen to the end.

Surrounded by valleys, it was more like a paradise on earth.

Even inside the Mu family, there was their own market, with crowds bustling and very lively.

Seeing the two beautiful young people brought by the Patriarch, everyone couldn't help but fix their gaze on them, wondering about Yun Qiyue and Ye Lanjue's identities.

However, no one came forward to ask.

Toward the Patriarch and the Mu family, everyone was respectful.

Yun Qiyue looked at these scenes, but she was puzzled.

Because the Mu family gave her the feeling of being very simple, with a good atmosphere.

Could a family with such an atmosphere really be treacherous and evil?

With this thought, Yun Qiyue followed the Patriarch to the Patriarch Mansion.

The Patriarch Mansion was grand but not exaggerated.

It was equivalent to simplicity within grandeur.

One could see a person's character from their residence; sometimes, this saying was very reasonable.

Regarding her wariness of the Mu Patriarch, Yun Qiyue admitted it was much weaker than before.

The Mu Patriarch sat down and also let Ye Lanjue and Yun Qiyue take their seats.

"Where is my brother?" Yun Qiyue asked.

She was eager to see Yun Xiang.

The Mu Patriarch heard this and said faintly: "You will see him in a moment; there is no need to rush."

After saying this, without waiting for Yun Qiyue to say anything else, he said directly: "If you have anything you want to ask, just ask."

Yun Qiyue: "..."

This Patriarch was a bit direct, which instead made Yun Qiyue not know what to ask for a moment.

"In the Mu family, who wants to kill her?"

While Yun Qiyue was silent, Ye Lanjue spoke up.

The Mu Patriarch glanced at Ye Lanjue.

Naturally, the Mu Patriarch knew about Ye Lanjue.

Yun Qiyue's husband; he had received the news long ago.

Clearly, the Mu Patriarch was very knowledgeable about some matters in the Tianqi Continent.

The Mu Patriarch looked at Yun Qiyue, knowing that the question Ye Lanjue asked was also what Yun Qiyue wanted to know, so he spoke.

"Your mother was once my fiancée." The Mu Patriarch said.

Yun Qiyue: "..."

She had thought they were siblings or something, after all, they both had the surname Mu.

Perhaps seeing Yun Qiyue's thoughts, the Mu Patriarch glared at Yun Qiyue, "Although we both have the surname Mu, we don't know how many generations apart we are, and your mother was the Saintess; she was supposed to have a marriage contract with me, the Patriarch."

Only then did Yun Qiyue know that in the Mu family, there was a rule that the generations of Patriarchs and Saintesses intermarried.

The Patriarch and the Saintess were both determined from birth.

Every Patriarch had a mark belonging to the Patriarch, and so did the Saintess.

However, when Mu Qingwan was born, although she carried the Saintess mark, the strange thing was that another girl born on the same day also carried the Saintess mark.

This had never happened before.

But since two "Saintesses" appeared, the clan had to pay attention.

Fortunately, the choice of Saintess, besides the mark, also involved the Saintess going to the Holy Land when she came of age; whoever could enter the Holy Land would become the true Saintess.

And before that, both girls had to be raised as Saintesses.

A Saintess needed to learn many things, and so did the Patriarch.

Thus, the three of them naturally learned together.

Mu Qingwan was naturally intelligent but had no thoughts of becoming a Saintess, preferring to study medical arts.

And the other person was named Mu Lianxin.

Mu Lianxin was the complete opposite of Mu Qingwan; she was determined to become the Saintess, studied hard, and excelled everywhere.

In every assessment, Mu Lianxin was better than Mu Qingwan.

Everyone felt that Mu Lianxin would be the final Saintess.

But when they came of age, Mu Lianxin could not enter the Holy Land no matter what, while Mu Qingwan entered easily.

It turned out that Mu Qingwan was not unexcellent on weekdays, but that she didn't care about becoming a Saintess at all, so her heart wasn't in that direction.

Finally, Mu Qingwan and the Mu Patriarch set a marriage contract.

However, Mu Qingwan's heart was not there.

Mu Qingwan had never had feelings for the Mu Patriarch, only treating him as an older brother.

But Mu Lianxin liked the Patriarch.

Such a tangled mess made Mu Lianxin jealous.

In the end, she still helped Mu Qingwan escape.

Without a Saintess, Mu Lianxin naturally became the Saintess who couldn't enter the Holy Land and married the Patriarch.

Even if the Patriarch liked Mu Qingwan, Mu Lianxin didn't care, just feeling that one day, she would be able to warm the Patriarch's heart.

Alas, sometimes, no matter how much effort some people make, it doesn't work.

As time went on, Mu Lianxin hated Mu Qingwan even more.

"Is this the reason she wants to kill me?" Yun Qiyue frowned. ===== CHAPTER 277 =====
