Chapter 547: Luring the Tiger Away from the Mountain
Mu Qingping sat in the living room, facing a middle-aged man of around fifty, a very nasty expression on his face.
"Uncle Ape, how could you be so careless as to be discovered by the Yu family?" Mu Qingping asked with a frown.
Mu Yuan sighed. "The young lady had just arrived at the Yu family when that Xia Fei spoke rudely to Young Lady Fuping. I was on the roof listening to him and was about to explode with anger! With just a few words, he persuaded Young Lady Fuping to change her appearance, disguise herself as an ordinary person, and go to different families to observe!
"Master was already on tenterhooks when he promised Young Lady Fuping that Unique Pavilion would be opened in Foundry City. Our Mu family has so many enemies, and if the young lady were to go out in disguise, what would we do?! In my panic, I let the cat out of the bag, which was how Xia Fei and Yuhua discovered me. "
Mu Qingping angrily jumped out of her chair. "Well done, Xia Fei! Just how precious is the young lady? He actually dared to persuade her to go out incognito?! How infuriating! "
Mu Yuan added fuel to the fire. "If the young lady listened to Xia Fei and really changed her appearance to go out and observe, that would be bad! It's all Xia Fei's fault for instigating her! "
Mu Qingping impatiently waved her hand. "This isn't your fault. You are dismissed."
What Xia Fei and Yuhua did not know was that the so-called assassin was actually someone from the Mu family. In order to protect Mu Fuping, he had followed them all the way here, giving them a false alarm and even offending Mu Fuping. Of course, there was also the pitiful Yu Qiqi.
In a few moments, Mu Fuping was escorted back to Unique Pavilion by Xia Fei and Yuhua.
When Mu Qingping saw her sister return, she hastily smiled and welcomed her into the living room.
"Sis, why did you come back so quickly?"
Mu Fuping very seriously looked at her sister. "Tell me the truth. Did you send someone to follow me?"
Mu Qingping pretended to be shocked. "Sis, you were followed?! Could it be an enemy of ours? "
"It really wasn't you?"
"Why would I send someone to follow you? Look at what you're saying."
Mu Fuping nodded and believed him.
Neither Yuhua nor Xia Fei knew much about Mu Fuping's background. All they knew was that she was a young lady of the Withered Mu Family. Since she was able to fork out so much money to build Unique Pavilion, her position in the family was probably not bad. Yuhua even treated her as someone he could use and rope in, placing great importance on her.
The two of them did not know much about Mu Fuping's personality. Xia Fei felt that she was weak and had little experience in life. She was modest and never looked down on the poor. She was one of the more good-natured young ladies of large clans.
What Xia Fei did not know was that Mu Fuping's blood contained the genes of the Withered Mu Clan, making her stubborn and obstinate.
The Withered Mu family originally had the surname Mu, and the reason why the circle referred to this family as the Withered Mu family was not just because of their surname, but also because of the description of their inflexible character. Withered wood could not be carved, and they would not turn back until they hit the wall, and so on and so forth. This was the impression that the Mu family had left on the Law Realm.
The more Mu Fuping thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong. Xia Fei and Yuhua had anxiously sent her back not because they did not want to see her but because they were afraid that something might happen to her. However, she had not completed her inspection of the warriors' lives, and there was a knot in her heart.
…
After a night of cultivation, the White Jade Ape had used up a precious grade 4 Origin Crystal, and Xia Fei's cultivation of the Law of Energy Purification had improved. He was only a few steps away from breaking through.
Just when Xia Fei was preparing to break through in one fell swoop, Yuhua unexpectedly showed up.
"Put down whatever you're doing and come with me," Yuhua said the moment he saw Xia Fei.
"What is it? I'm busy cultivating right now. "
Yuhua sighed. "That Miss Mu Fuping is here again."
"Again?!"
"It's all your fault. You came up with the stupid idea of disguising yourself and visiting incognito. This time, Mu Fuping came to the Yu family in disguise, and she's currently observing the warriors' training in the city."
Xia Fei was speechless. He had not expected Mu Fuping to have such a determined side to her. Even when he had unreasonably sent her back yesterday, he had not been able to dispel her determination to learn about the lives of Law Warriors.
"But I can't leave right now," Xia Fei said awkwardly. His Law was about to be completed, and he did not want to be distracted.
Yuhua rolled his eyes. "You're the one who started this. If not for you, Mu Fuping wouldn't have come here again and again. Same rules. You stay by her side, and I'll keep watch."
"This is no small matter. If something happens to Mu Fuping while she's in the Yu family, neither of us will be able to bear the consequences. Just in case, we can't tell anyone else. Just you and I know."
Xia Fei sighed. Putting Furball in his bosom, he followed Yuhua to the dirt field where the warriors were training.
From a distance, he could see Mu Fuping standing outside the circle, observing. Today, she had changed into men's clothes and was dressed casually in green. She looked like a pretty boy, and many girls were casting glances at her.
Xia Fei frowned and walked up, standing next to Mu Fuping like a bodyguard.
"I've thought it through," Mu Fuping softly said. Mu Fuping softly said, "You sent me back without any explanation yesterday because you were worried that something would happen to me. It was out of good intentions."
Xia Fei still said nothing. He knew that he had not sent Mu Fuping away out of good intentions but because he was worried that she would really die in the Yu family. If that happened, he would have to bear the responsibility. Mu Fuping's thoughts were far too pure, and Xia Fei did not know whether to laugh or cry.
"You really want to know how warriors train and live?" Xia Fei asked.
Mu Fuping firmly nodded. Xia Fei said nothing, leading Mu Fuping to a human-shaped target and taking October Flying Snow from his spatial ring.
Thrust!
Thrust again!
For the entire morning, Xia Fei did not stop repeating the same move. The essence of Crafty Approach lay in this stab. Due to his recent study of law energy, Xia Fei had rarely practiced Crafty Approach. Since Miss Mu wanted to see it today, Xia Fei might as well let her have her fill!
Mu Fuping's eyes grew more and more astonished. Xia Fei's movements were very fast. For four whole hours, he had been repeating the same movement. This sort of harsh training left her in disbelief, and she had no idea how many times Xia Fei had thrust.
Putting away October Flying Snow, Xia Fei wiped away his sweat and went to Mu Fuping's side. He softly said, "Go eat and rest for thirty minutes."
The food in the Yu family was not bad, but to a pampered young lady like Mu Fuping, this food was simply unpalatable. She barely managed to eat a few fruits, but Xia Fei finished twenty-four bowls of food in a row.
For an entire afternoon, Xia Fei practiced the leg movements of Crafty Thrust. Like a gust of wind, he constantly changed directions, turned, and turned again.
By the time the sun set, Mu Fuping was no longer as curious as before, only astonished.
"Is this all you've done for the day?"
Xia Fei shook his head. "It's been a long time since I've practiced my movement technique. I've done a little revision, and at night, I'll cultivate my Law energy and combat techniques. I sleep at three in the morning and wake up at five to cultivate my abilities."
Mu Fuping was stunned. Such cruel training was simply unimaginable!
"I understand. Warriors are so strict with themselves, so they can't be careless with their armor. Even the tiniest flaw can cause a lot of trouble. After all, every movement has to be repeated thousands of times."
Xia Fei nodded. "Miss Fuping, it's good that you understand. Based on my understanding, it's not that you can't have decorations, but they can't affect the performance of the armor.
"It's getting late. I'll take you back to Unique Pavilion."
The moment he said this, seven beautiful colors rose from the horizon, even more beautiful than the artificial sunset!
"Seven Dragons Split the Heavens!" Xia Fei exclaimed in shock. "Not good! This is Yuhua's ultimate technique! He must be fighting with someone! Perhaps it's the person who followed you yesterday! "
At the same time, a giant purple net descended from the sky, capturing Yuhua's Seven Spatial Rends, and the two began to tangle!
"Purple Wood Thunder Array! This is the ultimate technique of our Mu family. The one fighting with Yuhua might be a warrior from our Withered Mu Clan. "
Mu Fuping found it very strange. Why would someone from the Mu family come to the Yu family and fight with Yuhua?
The battle in the distance was very obvious. A large number of Yu family warriors were running over, and Xia Fei grabbed Mu Fuping and led her toward the Spatial Gate.
Regardless of why Yuhua was fighting with the Mu family warriors, the most important thing was to ensure Mu Fuping's safety. Xia Fei was well aware of this.
"Let's leave this place."
"No. I want to see just who from the clan has come to the Mu family and if they're following me." Mu Fuping struggled free of Xia Fei's arm and stubbornly said.
Xia Fei did not say anything, nor did he care about the difference between a man and a woman. He picked up Mu Fuping and ran toward the Spatial Gate. Yuhua was smart enough to know how to deal with this, so Xia Fei did not need to worry.
Xia Fei's keen senses gave him a strong sense of unease. He did not know what was strange about this, but this strange feeling made him very uncomfortable.
All of a sudden, Xia Fei stopped about five hundred meters away from the spatial gate. The spatial gate was an important location of the Yu family, and it was heavily guarded, but at this moment, there was not even a single person in sight. This was very strange! It did not make any sense!
"Miss Fuping, we meet again." An elderly voice suddenly spoke, and a short and thin elder suddenly appeared behind Xia Fei, blocking Xia Fei and Mu Fuping's path of retreat.
"Seventh Grandpa, so it's you!" Mu Fuping exclaimed in surprise as Xia Fei held her in his arms.
The elder's face was flushed, and if not for his white hair, one would surely mistake him for a child.
Xia Fei could sense fear in Mu Fuping's voice. It seemed that this Mu Fuping's family had come with ill intentions!
…
"Stop! I'm an Ironclad guard of the Mu family, Mu Yuan! "
Yuhua was startled. The Ironclad Guards were the elite and trusted troops of the Mu family. He could already tell from Mu Yuan's move that this person was using a secret technique of the Mu family, but out of caution, he did not let down his guard.
The warriors of the Yu family had arrived in large numbers, and the battle between Yuhua and Mu Yuan had attracted everyone's attention.
"I was chasing after someone, but when I got close, it turned out to be you!" Mu Yuan said in annoyance.
Yuhua was a shrewd man, and his expression immediately changed when he heard this!
"I was also chasing a small and thin elder to the foot of the mountain! But I ended up running into you! "
The two of them were stunned at the same time. Mu Yuan asked, "White hair, no taller than 1.4 meters?"
"That's right!"
