"Milord misheard." Mu Tianjiao shook her head helplessly. "I just don't think it's a good idea for Father to stay here for too long. He should go back and put more effort into managing the Four Links Chamber of Commerce." Mu Bing's expression changed slightly when he heard this. A trace of resentment flashed across his eyes as he looked at his daughter. He felt that his daughter was unhappy because he had spoken too much about Yue Qianchou and was chasing him away.
For a moment, his heart was filled with jealousy and hatred for Yue Qianchou …
"Oh!" Wu Xiong made a noncommittal sound and glanced at Mu Bing. After interacting with his father-in-law for a period of time, he naturally had some understanding of his character. He faintly smiled and said, "Madam is worrying too much. Father-in-law will naturally arrange for someone to take care of the Four Links Chamber of Commerce. There is no need to personally attend to this matter. If it really doesn't work, it's better to close down the Four Links Chamber of Commerce and open a bigger one in Hallucinatory Immortal City. That way, it'll be closer. If Father-in-law agrees, I'll greet the Great Bright Wheel Keeper of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance and make things easier for you. "
"Good! Great Commander, this is a good idea. "Mu Bing smiled happily.
"No way!" Mu Tianjiao shouted and suddenly stood up. She glared at Mu Bing and said sternly, "Father, have you forgotten that Mother died for the Four Links Chamber of Commerce? Are you really going to shut it down without any consideration for old ties?"
Her entire face turned pale and her expression turned stern. Tears appeared at the corners of her eyes. She had always been strong, but it had been a long time since she had cried. In fact, there was something she didn't say. If it wasn't for the Four Links Chamber of Commerce, if it wasn't for her mother's painstaking efforts, why would she have to compromise and marry here?
The Four Links Chamber of Commerce held too many memories of her deceased mother. It could be said that it was her emotional sustenance and the home of her heart. It could not be desecrated!
The pavilion instantly quieted down. Mu Bing stood there awkwardly. Wu Xiong was also slightly stunned. Mu Tianjiao had always been a gentle and virtuous woman in front of him. This was the first time he had seen her so angry, and it was directed at her father. After Wu Xiong came back to his senses, his face was filled with relief. From this, it could be seen that his woman was a woman who valued friendship. He had not misjudged her.
He stood up and walked to Mu Tianjiao's side. He grabbed her hand and comforted her, "Madam, don't be anxious! Since Madam is unwilling … "As he said this, he looked at Mu Bing and said," I think we should drop this matter. Father-in-law, you may as well focus on running the Four Links Chamber of Commerce. If there is anything you need, just let me know. I will do my best to help. Once the Four Links Chamber of Commerce had enough capital to expand, it wouldn't be too late to establish a branch in Hallucinatory Immortal City. In fact, most Sects and Chambers of Commerce did this. Sometimes, moving too fast might not be a good thing. What does Father-in-law think? "
Since he said so, what else could Mu Bing say? He nodded awkwardly. He was too embarrassed to face his daughter here, so he squeezed out a smile and said, "I have something to do at home, so I'll go back first."
Wu Xiong could feel Mu Bing's awkwardness and also felt a little embarrassed. After all, this was caused by him. He immediately stretched out his hand and said with a smile, "I'll see you off, Father-in-law!"
Mu Tianjiao bit her lips as she watched the two men leave. Tears flowed uncontrollably from her eyes. She never thought that something she held so firmly would be so disdainful in her father's eyes, as if he could abandon it at any time …
Outside the External Affairs Grand Commander's residence, one could see the undulating mountains and the beautiful scenery. Wu Xiong, who had sent Mu Bing to the edge of the cliff, looked at the ashen-faced Mu Bing and said with a faint smile, "We're all family. Father-in-law, please don't take Madam's words to heart. You should know that she has no ill intentions towards you."
Mu Bing's lips moved. After a moment of hesitation, he said, "It's not like that. The reason why Tianjiao is so angry … is that Yue Qianchou is to blame."
"Yue Qianchou?" Wu Xiong was stunned. For a moment, he couldn't figure out why this matter had something to do with Yue Qianchou. He asked in surprise, "What does it have to do with Yue Qianchou?"
"She was fine before. It was only because she heard about Yue Qianchou's shameless actions in the Mystic Immortal City that she became unhappy after I said a few words about Yue Qianchou. That's why she lost her temper and wanted me, her father, to leave. Sigh!" Mu Bing's eyes flickered.
Wu Xiong's gaze instantly turned cold. He looked at Mu Bing and said indifferently, "What do you mean by this?"
"Please don't misunderstand, Grand Commander. It's not what you think." Mu Bing waved his hand. He naturally wouldn't say that he wanted to use someone else to do his dirty work. He sighed and explained, "Grand Commander, you might not know this, but when Yue Qianchou first came to my Four Links Chamber of Commerce, he once pursued Tianjiao. I could tell at a glance that he wasn't a good person, so I firmly opposed him. Tianjiao also didn't take a liking to him, but I couldn't stand that guy's relentless pestering, so I might have been tempted. Fortunately, I noticed that something was wrong in time and drove that kid away. However, that kid couldn't forget my Tianjiao. Later, when the Grand Commander proposed to you, that kid was afraid of the Grand Commander's prestige and gave up. However, I never imagined that you would invite him on the day of your wedding. That's why I was so unhappy at the time and was a little rude to him … "
A suppressed murderous aura faintly circulated around Wu Xiong's body. How many men could tolerate another man coveting their beloved woman? His eyes flickered as he recalled Mu Tianjiao's first night. He felt that she hadn't done anything wrong to him, so his killing intent gradually retracted. Wu Xiong said indifferently, "Father-in-law, let's not mention the past. Otherwise, it won't be good for anyone. Not to mention, I don't want to pursue the past. "
Mu Bing was slightly surprised. He didn't think that Wu Xiong would be so magnanimous. However, when he recalled the killing intent Wu Xiong emitted earlier, he regained his confidence and said, "But I can't stand to see such an ambiguous matter. That kid's mouth is famous for being foul. I'm afraid that he will say something that will affect Tianjiao's reputation. As a parent, how can I tolerate such a thing happening? If there are any signs, I must find a way to put an end to it. "
Wu Xiong was startled and suspiciously asked, "You want to kill him?" Mu Bing firmly nodded. Wu Xiong immediately frowned and said, "Father-in-law, don't be reckless. He received the Immortal Emperor's decree to carry out his mission. If something happens to him, it's not something you or I can bear."
"But I heard that he wants to go to the Netherworld …" Mu Bing gloomily looked at Wu Xiong and said word by word, "If something happens to him in the Netherworld, what does it have to do with you and me?"
Wu Xiong looked at Mu Bing in surprise. He didn't expect Mu Bing to be so scheming. It seemed that he had underestimated Mu Bing. Wu Xiong originally wanted to persuade him to let go, but for some reason, he thought of the golden statues in his bedroom …
It was a gift from Yue Qianchou to congratulate him on his wedding. It had always been placed on Mu Tianjiao's dressing table with the words "Forever and Earth" carved on it. Occasionally, he would see Mu Tianjiao staring at the golden statue in a daze. When he asked her why, she said that she hoped the two of them could be as eternal as the words carved on the statue. However, at this moment, he couldn't help but have a big question mark in his heart. Was there no other reason?
For a moment, he felt a stabbing pain in his heart! Wu Xiong slowly said, "Father-in-law, you should give up! He has Cangyun Xin by his side to protect him. Right now, Cangyun Xin's cultivation has reached the mid-stage of the Immortal Emperor Stage. He has also mastered the Heartless Palace's famous Three Swords as One Sword Drawing Form. Not to mention Father-in-law, even I am not his match. "
Although Wu Xiong's words were meant to dissuade him, Mu Bing's seven apertures were miraculously smooth today. Their hearts were connected, and he could actually hear the softness in Wu Xiong's tone. Therefore, it could be said that sometimes, the power of hatred was extraordinary and could make people stronger. Mu Bing sneered and said, "Cangyun Xin has a grudge with him for killing his grandson. I don't believe that Cangyun Xin can protect him at all times without any complaints. Moreover, the Netherworld is chaotic. Anything can happen. If something happens to Yue Qianchou, what can Cangyun Xin do? "
Hearing this, Wu Xiong was even more surprised. He couldn't help but size up Mu Bing again. How could a person with such schemes and methods manage the Four Links Chamber of Commerce to such a state? He originally wanted to test Mu Bing to see how capable he was. If he really had the ability, there was no harm in letting him try. If he didn't, then it was better to let him give up on the idea as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary trouble.
However, he didn't expect Mu Bing to have some tricks up his sleeve. Wu Xiong still wanted to test him, so he slowly shook his head and said, "Even if Cangyun Xin has times of carelessness, that guy is also a capable person. I'm sure Father-in-law has heard of the battle at the Life and Death Mound. I'm afraid ordinary people are not his match." The meaning behind his words was very clear. He was saying that Mu Bing was not Yue Qianchou's match.
"It's fine that I'm not his match. Humans die for wealth and birds die for food. I'm sure there are many people who are his match." Mu Bing revealed an unfathomable smile, implicitly pointing out that he would use others to deal with Yue Qianchou.
Wu Xiong was afraid that if Mu Bing used force, he would be implicated. However, seeing that Mu Bing's thoughts were so clear that he wouldn't personally take action, Wu Xiong immediately felt relieved. He faintly smiled and said, "It seems that Father-in-law has made up his mind to go to the Netherworld. However, the Netherworld is chaotic, and this son-in-law is very worried about Father-in-law's safety. Fortunately, when this son-in-law was handling the external affairs of the Immortal Palace, I had some friendly relations with some of the commanders of the Netherworld's Dark Nether Army. If Father-in-law encounters any trouble, there is no harm in asking for help from the Dark Nether Army. Tell them that you are my father-in-law. I'm sure they will give me some face. "
Mu Bing was overjoyed. His Four Links Chamber of Commerce had done business in the Netherworld, so he naturally knew of the Dark Nether Army's illustrious reputation in the Netherworld. With the Dark Nether Army's help, even if Yue Qianchou was protected by Cangyun Xin, killing him would be a piece of cake. His confidence immediately soared as he cupped his hands and said, "The Great Commander is very busy. It's rare for you to have a rest, so I won't disturb you any longer. Farewell!"
