Grandparent and Child’s Night Talk (1)

Late at night, in the military camp's tent, Mu Ge and Mu Xiong stared at each other.

After a while, Mu Xiong coughed lightly and carefully asked, "Ge'er, do you know His Majesty?"

'Only a ghost will know that peeping tom!'

Mu Ge strongly retaliated in her heart but did not show any expression on her face. She did not forget the heat on her face when that person appeared.

"No, I don't," answered Mu Ge lightly.

"You don't know him?" Mu Xiong had a face of disbelief. "If you don't know him, how did he know your name? He even gave you a supreme-grade pill that could energize you immediately."

Mu Ge kept quiet.

How would she know what that fella was thinking? He actually used such a mushy and disgusting name to call her in front of everyone and even took out a pill that glowed purple from his chariot, putting it right into her mouth.

The pill immediately dissolved when it entered her mouth, so she could not even puke it out. The next moment, her wounds started to have shocking changes as her badly mangled injuries quickly recovered.

Then, he once again flirtishly said a sentence to her shock, as if he would die if he did not frighten anyone.

"Take good care of yourself. If you get injured again, my heart will ache."

'Ache? Ache your head! Am I that close to you?'

Finally, he graciously said to the rest, "Sometimes when I pass by Kingdom of Qin, I'll stop for a while if the scenery is nice. I heard that Luo Du's peonies are not bad. I'll go and visit the Mu Residence some other day."

Then, he floated away in a carefree manner.

From the start to the end, he had never exposed his glamorous manner in front of the rest.

"His Majesty said he'll come to the Mu Residence. I wonder if he's serious," muttered Mu Xiong in deep thought.

Mu Ge's lips twitched. She felt that the last sentence that fellow said before leaving was for Qin Jinhao. Mu Qingge had already told her quite a bit about the Mu family's status in the Kingdom of Qin. She could guess quite a bit from her meeting with Mu Xiong and Prince Rui's performance.

She felt that that fellow seemed to know the Mu family's special position in the Kingdom of Qin, so he purposely said it to scare the Kingdom of Qin's royal family.

However, why did he do that? He did not look like a nosy good person.

What did the Mu family have to do with him?

"Ge'er?"

Mu Xiong's voice interrupted Mu Ge's thoughts.

She looked up at Mu Xiong and the latter struck her head, causing her forehead to turn red from the knock. "What are you thinking about? Why are you in a daze when Grandpa is talking?"

Mu Ge rubbed her forehead in pain and answered, "Nothing much."

"Did you hear what Grandpa said earlier?" said Mu Xiong as he purposely acted angry.

"Nope," answered Mu Ge honestly.

This simple and unruly answer made Mu Xiong lose his temper immediately as he could only resign to his fate. He said once again, "If His Majesty the Sheng King really likes you, you can make use of this opportunity. You can't cultivate, but if you can get the military's protection and His Majesty's support, no one will dare to bully you even if Grandpa is no longer around."

Pft!

Mu Ge was stunned, as she did not expect Mu Xiong to be thinking of that.

In her past life, she was used to depending on herself. In her present life, Mu Xiong thought for her and planned for her in every way, causing her originally stiffened heart to start to change.

Not replying to Mu Xiong's earlier words, Mu Ge asked another question she cared about, "What kind of person is Sheng King? Why does everyone seem to be afraid of him?"

Mu Xiong sighed and his big hand ruffled Mu Ge's hair. He explained, "His Majesty the Sheng King is the only Emperor of a top empire in Lin Chuan Continent. Rumors say that he existed when the Shengyuan Empire first started. Now, thousands of years have passed and the Shengyuan Empire has changed its emperor repeatedly, but there has only been His Majesty, the Sheng King. He's not the overlord, but he seems more like it. Even the emperor of the Shengyuan Empire doesn't dare to ruffle his feathers."
