"Hmph!" Yang Qingqing snorted coldly. "Do you have the ability to kill the Sect Master?"
Yang Qingqing's eyes were filled with sarcasm. This Muyun Xuan was indeed not to be underestimated. His cultivation was unfathomable even to her. Peng'er had mentioned it before, but she didn't believe it until she caught Su Qi. She didn't expect him to find this place so quickly without leaving any traces. However, this attempt had cost her dearly.
"You wouldn't be able to see whether I have the ability or not, because by then, you'll already be dead, right? Fool," Su Qi smirked.
"You...!" Yang Qingqing was infuriated by Su Qi's remark and glared at him with burning rage, wishing to kill him on the spot.
"You naughty boy! What if those poisoned people had discovered you before your father arrived?" Muyun Xuan playfully pinched his cute little nose.
"Dad, don't touch it. It's poisoned too."
After Su Qi finished speaking, he threw a pill into Muyun Xuan's mouth. He himself was completely poisoned, but he didn't want his father to suffer the same fate. With his previous experiences and the spatial ring he now possessed, which was filled with treasures, dealing with those villains would be easy.
"Dad, Qier must have calculated the timing, right? Uncle Qingfeng is secretly protecting Qier. From the moment he found you to the moment Dad found Qier, how much time did it take? Qier would have figured it out," Muyun Xuan said.
"You damn brat, do you think things will end like this? The Moonlight Villa will pay ten times the price," Yang Qingqing's eyes were full of malice as she eagerly awaited Su Qi's move.
"Oh, the old witch, don't scare me, a little child. Ten times the price? Now it's the Moonlight Villa coming to trouble you. Do you have any shame? You captured a child to threaten my parents and want the Eight Great Profound Artifacts. If you have the ability, come and find them openly! With your despicable methods, you still expect others to pay ten times the price. If I were you, I wouldn't have the audacity to act so self-righteous. Just go wherever you find it comfortable, don't hang a lantern on a high pole here, thinking you're so prominent," Su Qi's tone and eyes were dripping with sarcasm. Why did these women always talk big? Weren't they afraid of contradicting themselves?
"Dad, make your move. The medicine is taking effect," Su Qi engaged in a verbal battle with Yang Qingqing, all for the purpose of waiting for the old witch to be affected by the poison.
"Good!"
Muyun Xuan quickly put him down and launched an attack on Yang Qingqing.
"Bang!" The sandalwood chair shattered into pieces as Yang Qingqing leaped onto the wall, lowered her gaze, and coldly looked at Muyun Xuan.
Could Muyun Xuan have reached the pinnacle of the Holy Profound Realm? His speed was astonishing!
Likewise, a trace of surprise flashed through Muyun Xuan's eyes. Yang Qingqing's cultivation had also reached a level that others could only admire from a distance.
"Muyun Xuan, let's end it here for today! You have a very good son, but be careful. Next time, I won't be so kind. The Eight Great Profound Artifacts will belong to the Moonlight Villa," Yang Qingqing said.
After speaking, Yang Qingqing glanced at the window and swiftly flew away.
"You think you can leave that easily? Not a chance."
Muyun Xuan shouted coldly and instantly moved to block Yang Qingqing's path. At that moment, a sword flew in through the window. In the instant Muyun Xuan dodged, Yang Qingqing seized the opportunity to escape. Muyun Xuan didn't give up and jumped out of the window to chase after her.
As they watched the white and red figures disappear into the distance, Muyun Xuan condensed his profound energy throughout his body and launched a fierce attack.
Although Yang Jinpeng and Yang Qingqing evaded quickly, Yang Qingqing, who took the brunt of the attack, was still hit. Her blood surged, and she decided to release a smoke bomb. When the white smoke cleared, there was no trace of the two.
"Wow! Dad, you let them get away?" Su Qi and Qingfeng walked out.
"She was hit with a palm strike from me. Although she's not dead, she's seriously injured. During this time, she shouldn't have the energy to cause trouble," Muyun Xuan replied, feeling somewhat annoyed with himself. If he had been a bit faster, he could have killed Yang Qingqing. Who could that sudden appearance of the man in white be?
"Dad, let's go back quickly! Mom must be worried," Su Qi said happily. His mother didn't come to save him, but his father did, and he was very grateful.
"Yes! Let's go back."
Muyun Xuan carried him, and Qingfeng ordered his men to retreat.
Inside the Moonlight Villa, Heyun Ting went to the Treasure Pavilion and discovered that the intruder was Yu Wang. He was dumbfounded. In order to prevent the foreign prince from dying in their Moonlight Villa, Heyun Ting had no choice but to disable the mechanisms in the Treasure Pavilion and send someone to summon Su Zimo.
Su Zimo and his group happened to meet Murong Shaofeng and Zhu Yan.
"Momo, any news about Qier?" Murong Shaofeng was the first to speak.
"It should be coming back soon, Shaofeng, don't worry," Su Zimo responded faintly, unable to find any humor in the situation.
"Stop dragging your feet, both of you. Come and see how we should deal with this Prince Yu!" Heyun Ting yelled impatiently. Wasn't he having a hard enough time already? Ever since he returned to the Moonlight Villa, it had been nothing but trouble.
"Isn't he already here? Why are you in such a hurry? Since Prince Yu seems to enjoy the Treasure Pavilion so much, let him stay a bit longer," Su Zimo's sarcastic voice broke into Muyun Zeyu's ears, who tightly closed his eyes. He felt like the heavens were out to get him. He never expected the Treasure Pavilion in the Moonlight Villa to have so many traps.
"Oh! Prince Yu, what kind of play are you performing in broad daylight?" Su Zimo and her group entered the Treasure Pavilion and saw Muyun Zeyu trapped between iron spikes on the second floor, his body in the shape of a big "X," with many torn parts on his clothes. He looked extremely miserable.
Seeing his appearance, everyone couldn't help but laugh.
"Hurry up and get me down. If I die in your Moonlight Villa, let's see how you'll explain it to the Star Moon Kingdom," Muyun Zeyu thought to himself. Even if he had to embarrass himself, he had to stay alive.
"Prince Yu, did you use your brain before speaking? A cup of clear water will become turbid if a drop of dirt falls into it, but a cup of dirty water will not become clear just because a drop of clean water is present. The Crown Prince of the Star Moon Kingdom is here. It was you, Prince Yu, who intruded into the Treasure Pavilion of our Moonlight Villa. Even if you die, it has nothing to do with our Moonlight Villa," Su Zimo crossed her arms, looking at Muyun Zeyu with a mocking expression, resembling an octopus.
"Prince Yu, you have brought shame upon our Star Moon Kingdom," Muyun Shaofeng said coldly, staring at Muyun Zeyu.
"Your Highness, you...!"
Caught red-handed, Muyun Zeyu had nothing to say. He had truly embarrassed himself this time. In his entire life, he had never experienced such humiliation. A small Moonlight Villa made him fail. If this matter were to spread back to the Star Moon Kingdom, he would become a stain on the entire kingdom, just like the drop of dirt in clear water, as Su Zimo had said.
"Su Zimo, whether you want to kill me or humiliate me, let me down first," Muyun Zeyu said, closing his eyes again. He knew that the woman would only be satisfied if she completely destroyed his dignity. He knew that his face had already been completely lost the moment Su Zimo and Muyun Shaofeng arrived.
"You want me to let you down? Well, Prince Yu, you should tell us the purpose of your intrusion into this Treasure Pavilion first."
"Su Zimo, don't you already know?" Muyun Zeyu gritted his teeth, his whole body trembling slightly.
Did this damned Su Zimo want to completely destroy his face? Actually, he knew deep down that his face had already been completely lost the moment Su Zimo and Muyun Shaofeng arrived.
"Fine, you don't want to say? Then Prince Yu, just stay in the Treasure Pavilion. After all, you seem to like it here, don't you?" Su Zimo had an expression that said she wouldn't let him down even if he begged, and she turned to leave.
"Can't I say it?"
Muyun Zeyu closed his eyes tightly once again. He knew that the woman wanted to hear this answer, didn't she?
"I came for the Eight Profound Artifacts. I just wanted to see if there were any of them in the Treasure Pavilion."
Muyun Zeyu knew that she wanted to hear this answer, right?
"Prince Yu, it seems that you were blindly searching for the Eight Profound Artifacts without fully understanding them. The Eight Profound Artifacts have their own sentience, and they will choose their own master. Otherwise, you must be capable of controlling the artifacts. Just think about it for a moment. Even if I had the Eight Profound Artifacts, I wouldn't keep them in the Treasure Pavilion and not use them."
By saying this, it was clear that there were no Eight Profound Artifacts in the Treasure Pavilion. Muyun Shaofeng also knew that Muyun Zeyu had come here to be ridiculed.
It was truly hateful. From now on, he had to think carefully about his retreat before taking action.
"Heyun, let him down and calculate how many traps he broke. Convert it into silver coins and throw him out of the Moonlight Villa," Su Zimo suddenly said, her expression turning cold. It was the perfect opportunity to drive Prince Yu out. After all, he harbored malicious intent, and there were plenty of people to deal with him. She didn't need to bother herself with him.
"Good, this is what I love the most."
Heyun Ting smiled, as long as there was money involved, anything could be settled. Heyun Ting glanced meaningfully at Muyun Zeyu. It served him right for causing so much trouble. He wanted to see how he would fare.
Chu Yourou looked at Muyun Zeyu but ultimately remained silent.
"Throw him out. Su Zimo, this is disrespectful to me," Muyun Zeyu refused to accept it. He had only intruded into the Treasure Pavilion and hadn't touched anything in it. Why did Su Zimo have the right to throw him out?
"Prince Yu, if you want to leave the Moonlight Villa with dignity, you must learn self-discipline," Su Zimo said coldly.
