Chapter 10 - Chapter 10: The Banquet Concludes

The originally lively banquet came to an end, but the guests' enthusiasm for discussion grew even higher.

Old Sir Chen was escorted back to his room, and the courtyard outside was left with people from different families. Naturally, Mu Wan'er felt secretly delighted and ran to Mr. Mu's side.

"Grandpa, that man just now was so domineering. But is he not afraid of Chen Family's retaliation? The Chen Family is a big family in the Capital City, and today they were made so embarrassed. Could it be that they will do nothing? Besides, the Chen Family seems to have several eldest sons with strong cultivation!"

Mu Wan'er widened her eyes, looking curiously at Mr. Mu.

Mr. Mu's full name was Mu Han. Seeing his granddaughter like a curious baby, his previously suppressed mood also relaxed.

"I'll tell you, not only does the Chen Family dare not retaliate, but they also have to be grateful. Otherwise, the Chen Family will inevitably be destroyed. I knew about your constitution before, and since our Mu Family is in business, I didn't let you know much about martial arts. Today I'll tell you just how strong that man was."

Mu Han said earnestly.

"That man wearing the Purple Gold Dragon Mask, he is the Divine Pavilion Master, and he is also the Chief Instructor of Dragon Soul, Huaxia's strongest organization. He is now 21 years old."

"His mission is to maintain the balance between cultivators and ordinary people. Few people know his real name; most people call him the Martial God."

"The ultimate martial prowess could suppress the world!!"

"An invincible stance that sweeps across all directions!!"

"He has many glorious deeds, but I don't know the specifics."

"I have been raising you, hoping to find you a good husband with strong martial power to ensure the Mu Family's peace for generations. If you could become the wife of the Pavilion Master, I would willingly go to Hell Netherworld."

"But that's impossible. Such a man is meant to conquer the stars, and no one can hold him."

"Let's go, Wan'er. Today we narrowly escaped this tribulation."

Mu Han took Mu Wan'er and left the Chen Family courtyard.

After hearing this, Mu Wan'er's eyes, filled with Qiushui, sparkled with starry light. No one knew what she was thinking.

Chen Family.

"Dad, you must save Ziqing. We only have this one son, we can't let him die!"

A noblewoman in luxurious clothes kneeled by Mr. Chen's bedside, pleading bitterly.

Beside the noblewoman stood a man, looking out the window, lost in thought.

The noblewoman tugged at the man's clothes and said, "Chen Xianming, why are you dazing out? Speak up. Your son is about to die, and you're staring blankly here. Dad, say something too."

Chen Xianming is Chen Tian's third son. Being the youngest, he was the most pampered by Old Sir Chen. But due to his weaker cultivation talent, he could only handle the Chen Family's mundane businesses.

"It's impossible to save him. Today, being here is already the Pavilion Master showing mercy. Otherwise, the Chen Family would have faced destruction."

"Who told you not to discipline him? Spoiling him day and night, do you not know the evils he committed? Don't mention this again. You should have another child; I am helpless."

Mr. Chen finished speaking and closed his eyes, ignoring Chen Xianming and his wife.

"Xianming, what should we do?" Seeing her father ignore her, the noblewoman anxiously asked Chen Xianming.

"How about hiring an assassin from the darknet to kill the Pavilion Master?" The noblewoman said with venom.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xianming hurriedly covered her mouth. Chen Tian, who had been resting his eyes, suddenly opened them and stood up.

"Are you courting death? Not to mention if those from the darknet dare to accept, even if they do, all the assassins combined would be crushed."

"Speaking such words, are you trying to bring catastrophe onto Chen Family?"

Chen Xianming hurriedly scolded the noblewoman.

"Xianming, you'd better confine her in the room for a few days. To dare speak such arrogant and ignorant words is truly foolish."

"If I find any mischief, don't blame me for cutting off all ties." Mr. Chen said coldly to Chen Xianming.

Chen Xianming and his wife had no choice but to leave empty-handed.

"Xianming, why is Dad so afraid of the Pavilion Master? We are still a significant family in the Capital City. Although not a Super Family, we are still a powerful entity!"

The noblewoman looked curiously at Chen Xianming.

"Alas, there's nothing we can do. That man is too powerful. Some things are better left unknown. We'll have our eldest brother's son help take care of Ziqing; we'll deal with other matters in two years."

"You... "

Mu Family.

"Grandpa, do you know about the incident when I was captured? I suspect Chen Ziqing might be involved." Mu Wan'er said.

"Oh, that time it was Chen Ziqing who saved you? What's the issue?" Mu Han replied curiously.

"Grandpa, I secretly investigated before. I seem to remember that three of my escorts are still alive."

"Though I can't recall their appearances, I want to go to Yunhai City to find them. Also, the Pavilion Master might know about this incident, he could be in Yunhai City too." Mu Wan'er said wisely.

"Oh, indeed, my granddaughter is exceptionally intelligent. The Mu Family must never be ungrateful. It's all Chen Family's fault for being so restrictive towards you. But be careful, we don't know if Chen Family will let you go. I'll book a plane ticket for you, it's just right to handle some Mu Family business there."

"I understand your thoughts. That man is like a Demoted Immortal, a star in the Nine Heavens, mere mortals can only look up to him. Moreover, we've never seen his face, Wan'er, it's best to quickly put aside your thoughts."

Living for so many years, Mu Han looked at his granddaughter and shook his head.

"Grandpa, don't worry. You needn't be concerned about this. After all, I'm your Little Fairy!" Mu Wan'er made a V sign above her head, looking very cute.

"But I'd still be uneasy if you go alone. I'm well acquainted with Old Man Qin of the Yunhai Qin Family. In our youth, we struggled together, but this place holds sorrow for him, so he stayed in Yunhai. I'll call him to ask him to take care of you."

"You're so beautiful. If you leave, there'll be no one to accompany me. Those old friends come here either for my good tea or to play chess and humiliate me."

Mu Han sighed, but his face was still full of smiles.

"I'll take good care of myself. I'll listen to Grandpa Qin and bring back a good son-in-law to play chess with you." Mu Wan'er said.

After a while.

Mu Wan'er had packed her luggage and drove towards the airport.

"Take care, granddaughter..." Mu Han waved from a distance.
