Chapter 139

Split up!

Seeing Deng Xin's eyes glazed over, Bai Jing teased, "Have you fallen for me? There's a guesthouse right nearby—how about we…?"

Get lost!

Deng Xin shoved him away and turned to leave, "Damn bastard!"

"Don't go! I just meant to go up and sit for a bit—why are you reacting so strongly?"

"I get it—you're dirty, your mind isn't pure!"

"I never thought you were this kind of person!"

I'll kill you!

The two arrived at the arena entrance; Student Mu Rong was already waiting, having received the call, though several flies buzzed around her, making her extremely annoyed.

Bai Jing saw this and immediately charged forward.

"What are you doing? Don't you know Little Xinxin is mine? Get lost, get lost, or I'll beat you!"

Under his shooing, the flies reluctantly left, flying off to seek food elsewhere.

"Bai Jing!"

"Little Xinxin!"

"Where were you two?"

"Where else? Just now I got summoned by Master Mu—this is why we just got back."

Student Mu Rong froze, "My father?"

Deng Xin nodded in confirmation.

She panicked!

"Why did my father call you? What did he say to you? Did he pressure you?"

"Nope! He gave me a check, telling me to take good care of you!"

Bai Jing shoved the check into Student Mu Rong's hand.

"He'd be this nice?"

Student Mu Rong naturally didn't believe it!

Surprisingly, Deng Xin said, "I thought you'd just pocket the money!"

Bai Jing grew angry, poking her forehead as he demanded, "Do you really think so poorly of me? I, Bai Jing, may be wild and unrestrained, but I'm not that low as to take such charity?"

"I never thought you saw me this way—you've disappointed me deeply!"

Deng Xin, her head aching from the poking, swatted his hand away and snapped, "Fine! It's my fault, happy now?"

"Glad you admit it—compensate by giving yourself to me, and I'll forgive you!"

Get lost~ You're dreaming!

"Stop fooling around!"

Student Mu Rong's face was grim; she forced a smile at Bai Jing, "Sorry, Bai Jing, I didn't know my father would suddenly do this!"

"But don't worry—I'll handle this, I won't let it cause you any trouble!"

"I don't mind at all—as long as Little Xinxin is happy!"

"Thank you!"

Student Mu Rong kissed him on the cheek, then stormed off!

Deng Xin hurried after her.

Bai Jing smiled, "I never thought Little Xinxin could get angry—rare indeed!"

How Mu Feng would handle his daughter's rage was none of his concern.

He wasn't truly planning to become the Mu family's son-in-law—no need to kowtow to him!

"Better go soak in my arena!"

Nan Du, Mu family.

The Sandstorm Champion was also watching the arena battle footage—and enjoying it immensely!

"Dad!"

At that moment, Mu Feng returned.

"Why the sour face? Didn't you go negotiate with that kid? Didn't go well?"

"Don't even mention it—that kid's a thug, utterly infuriating!"

"Oh? Did you get the worse of it?"

Mu Feng stayed silent, face clenched, which only piqued Mu Yingxiong's interest.

"Xiao Lu, tell me the details!"

The assistant glanced at Mu Feng, then recounted everything plainly, making Mu Feng's face turn even darker!

"Hah… so you got played by a young kid?"

"Son, son, you're regressing!"

Mu Feng grumbled, "Dad, you're truly my real father! Just wait—I won't let this go!"

"What? Are you going to bully a student? Can you please have some dignity? Is this how you became a Tianwang?"

"Dad, I'm doing all this for Rong'er!"

Don't give me that crap!

Mu Yingxiong scolded, "It's my precious Sun Nu's freedom to choose who she wants—why are you butting in?"

"Dad, I can't accept that—no matter what, she can't choose a good-for-nothing scoundrel!"

"How is he good-for-nothing?"

Mu Yingxiong pointed at the screen and said, "He pulled off the feat of taking on ten opponents single-handed. How many of his peers could do that? Such an outstanding child and you're still not satisfied — your standards are way too high!"

"Dad, you know that's not what I mean. So what if the trainer is outstanding? His family background is no good — his parents just run a martial arts hall. How could someone like that be worthy of Rong'er?"

"What's wrong with being a trainer? Your old man here started from nothing and built his fortune as a trainer. Without my struggle, would you have what you have today? And you dare look down on trainers? Where do you get the nerve? From your measly Sky King achievement? Stop and think — without me backing you up, would you have what you have today?"

"I…"

Mu Yingxiong's torrent of head-bashing abuse left Mu Feng both frustrated and helpless.

"Dad, I just want to match families of equal standing!"

"Bah!"

Little did he expect that Mu Yingxiong would only grow more furious!

"What era is this and you're still harping on that? Let me ask you — what kind of 'equal standing' do you want? Marry my precious granddaughter off to a Champion's family, or a Sovereign's family?"

"Mu Feng, let me tell you — unless my precious granddaughter does so of her own free will, don't even think about getting your way! Our Mu family is glorious enough as it is today. We don't need to sacrifice our granddaughter's happiness to curry favor with others — not even a Sovereign!"

Seeing the old man truly fly into a rage, Mu Feng was so scared he kept shrinking his neck back.

"Fine, fine, fine, I won't marry her off, I won't marry her off. Everlasting Power is so precious — I can't even bear to give it to someone else. I'll take a son-in-law into the family instead, how about that?"

"You don't need to ask me about this. You should go discuss it with your precious granddaughter."
