Chapter 315: Chapter 311: Self-Respect (Seeking Monthly Tickets and Subscriptions)

“Second Uncle, what are you and Third Uncle doing here suddenly!”

Mu Yunxi’s eyes were still unusually red and swollen, with a hint of disgust as she looked towards the door.

“Sigh, I originally just came back to see you.”

“Your Third Uncle insisted on coming along, saying he wanted to visit you.”

“I didn’t expect to believe it, who knew he contacted Shen Cang in secret.”

The person Mu Yunxi called Second Uncle was a man in his thirties.

He wore a dark gray robe and had a slightly shy smile, a swarthy square face, hands full of calluses, and a distinctive long black mark on his arm that seemed to form a strange pattern.

Mu Yunxi’s Second Uncle’s real name was Mu Yang. Despite his gentle and refined appearance, many in the Mu Family were afraid of him. It was thanks to Mu Yang that Mu Yunxi was able to escape her arranged marriage and come to Yunhai City.

“Second Uncle, why did Third Uncle call Shen Cang here?”

“Our Mu Family has no connection with the Shen Family from Tianhai, right!”

Mu Yunxi said, puzzled.

“This you do not know, our Mu Family has been secretly involved with the Shen Family in many things over the years.”

“We have come to understand the terrifying aspects of the Shen Family. Dad believes the Shen Family is even more powerful than the Long Family.”

“So your Third Uncle is probably sent by Dad.”

Mu Yang did not dare to meet Mu Yunxi’s eyes as he spoke, letting out a sigh.

“The Shen Family is just a large family in Tianhai City, how can they compare to a huge power like the Long Family?”

“The ancestor of the Long Family is now an elder of the Heaven Pavilion!”

Mu Yunxi, being a smart woman, knew things were not simple upon hearing Mu Yang’s words.

“The Shen Family, they hide very deeply.”

“They are definitely not as simple as they appear on the surface.”

“According to the old man, there may be several Heavenly Rank experts supporting the Shen Family from behind.”

“Otherwise, with the Shen Family’s original strength, how could they withstand the blows from the Huo Family.”

“Those so-called groups in Tianhai City wouldn’t have the guts to clash with the Shen Family.”

Mu Yang said with a serious expression, appearing to be very curious about the Shen Family.

“The Huo Family?”

“They have come into the world.”

Mu Yunxi covered her mouth, her previously calm heart suddenly stirred with massive waves.

The Huo Family had represented the pinnacle of glory in a distant era in the Capital City. However, they disappeared for unknown reasons.

Of course, in the eyes of the people of the Capital City, even if the Huo Family reappeared, this era no longer belonged to them. The rise of the Divine Martial Pavilion could not be replaced.

“Second Uncle, tell me about that man called Mu Tian.”

“Is he… is he really dead.”

Mu Yunxi suddenly remembered something and asked with a trace of hope in her expression.

“Oh, you mean Mu Yingxiong!”

“Let me tell you, he truly was a Supreme Genius. You should have seen that battle.”

“He charged alone against the demonic entity with a gigantic Tai Chi Diagram.”

“He saved Saintess Tantai but perished along with the demons.”

“Such a pity, a genius like that would have surely become Huaxia’s War God in a few decades.”

“It was thanks to Mu Yingxiong that the Pavilion Master had enough time. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be seeing Second Uncle today.”

Mu Yang said excitedly, recalling the epic battle at Divine Martial Mountain.

“Why didn’t the Pavilion Master arrive sooner!!”

“If he had come earlier, Ye Tian wouldn’t have died!!”

Hearing her Second Uncle’s tone, Mu Yunxi knew that Ye Tian might really be dead, her heart aching once again as tears filled her eyes.

Then, she seemed to get heated and angrily remarked, as if Ye Tian’s death was entirely the Pavilion Master’s fault.

“Yunxi, shh shh shh~~~”

“Be careful with your words, the Pavilion Master is our Huaxia’s protector, don’t speak recklessly!”

“If the Punishment Pavilion of the Divine Martial Pavilion knew, even Second Uncle or the entire Mu Family couldn’t save you.”

“Actually, I also find it odd that just as Mu Yingxiong perished with the demons…”

“The Pavilion Master arrived with Sword in hand, could it be….”

“Don’t speculate wildly…”

Mu Yang thought for a while, then shook his head as if dismissing his own musings.

Mu Yunxi lowered her head heavily, her originally beautiful face now appearing even more delicate, invoking a desire to protect her.

“Daddada~~~”

While Mu Yunxi and Mu Yang were talking, the Third Uncle of the Mu Family had already brought Shen Cang in.

“Young Master Shen, come in, we’ve been waiting for you.”

“Sister Yun, bring out the Da Hong Pao tea to entertain Young Master Shen.”

Third Uncle of the Mu Family said to a petite girl, who was Mu Yunxi’s caretaker and had been looking after her daily needs in this villa.

“Miss, this…..”

Sister Yun hesitated and looked at Mu Yunxi, as the Da Hong Pao tea was a gift from her father for her birthday and she had barely drunk it.

“Take it out!!”

“His stuff, I don’t want it!!”

Mu Yunxi waved her hand, signaling Sister Yun to fetch the tea, having already guessed the purpose of Third Uncle inviting Shen Cang. It was yet another attempt to sacrifice her for the Mu Family’s benefit.

“Yunxi, don’t be afraid, with Second Uncle here, they can’t force you.”

“These bastards always resort to such underhanded tricks.”

Mu Yang consoled Mu Yunxi with a smile, but his tone carried a sense of helplessness.

“Come, come, sit!!!!”

“Don’t just stand there, Young Master Shen must be tired from the journey, have a rest.”

Third Uncle of the Mu Family quickly bowed and guided Shen Cang to the sofa where Mu Yunxi was seated.

Shen Cang smiled warmly, appearing gentle and refined, but when he saw Mu Yunxi, a flicker of amazement flashed in his eyes: What a beautiful woman!!!

“Mu Shui, what are you doing, hurry up.”

“It’s early in the morning and you called Yunxi here, wasting everyone’s time!”

Mu Yang, seeing Mu Shui bowing and scraping, felt a surge of disgust. These people were the ones constantly pressuring Yunxi to marry.

Mu Shui, after being reprimanded by Mu Yang, looked extremely unpleasant, his face turning blue and then purple, continuously changing, but he dared not say anything. After all, Mu Yang had higher strength and seniority.

Shen Cang slightly raised the corner of his mouth, stepped forward, extended a hand, and said with a smile, “You must be Yunxi’s Second Uncle, I have heard so much about you.”

“I am Shen Cang from Cangtian Group, a pleasure to meet you.”

But Mu Yang had no interest in shaking hands, saying indifferently, “Oh, Young Master Shen, what brings you here?”

“And the name Yunxi, please don’t call it casually if you’re an outsider, to avoid any misunderstandings.”

“Mind your manners!!”

Mu Yang emphasized “mind your manners” to remind Shen Cang that Mu Yunxi was not familiar with him, urging him to speak formally.

“Mu Yang, you…”

Mu Shui, seeing him speak like this, thought about the Mu Family’s current deal with Cangtian Group and couldn’t help but prepare to speak.

But Mu Yang glared and said, “What!! Did I say anything wrong?”
