Seeing Qin Mu step in to stop him, Gu Chen's eyes immediately turned cold.
Qin Mu's face was stern. He glanced indifferently at Gu Chen and said apathetically, "Step back."
His demeanor and tone made it seem as if he were issuing orders, treating Gu Chen as a subordinate.
The reason Qin Mu intervened was not because he feared Gu Chen couldn't defeat Qi Changyun, but because Qi Changyun had insulted him earlier. That was the real reason he took action.
Otherwise, he wouldn't bother with either Gu Chen or Qi Changyun.
Gu Chen remained silent, not responding. How could he let Qi Changyun go to Qin Mu? After all, there was a ghost-level demon inside Qi Changyun that could be worth dozens of merit points to Gu Chen.
