"Yes!"
Mu Caiwei told him everything about how she saved Ye Chen. She added at the end, "I've been secretly observing this person along the way. I realized that there's nothing unusual about him. However, his calmness in the face of danger makes me feel inferior."
"No matter where this person comes from!"
King Mu said, "When it rains, it pours. We can't accept people of unknown origins. After he recovers from his injuries, give him some money and let him leave. That can be considered as being extremely benevolent."
"Hmm …"
Mu Caiwei nodded and turned around to leave.
In the end, King Mu could not help but say, "Caiwei, the City Governor's Mansion came to propose to you again today …"
Mu Caiwei's body stiffened, and her pretty face faintly showed some pain. However, she still said without turning her head, "Then … how did father reply?"
His daughter's back caused King Mu's heart to ache. He had always felt guilty towards his daughter.
He had a son and a daughter, and Mu Caiwei was his eldest daughter.
Logically speaking, in such a family, women would have married long ago. However, the King Mu Fort was a vassal that was given to Tianfeng City by the first emperor of the Great Li Dynasty. After so many years, the King Mu Fort had prospered from generation to generation.
However, things had changed in this generation. The current emperor of the Great Li Dynasty had implemented a vassal system and frequently reaped the benefits of the various vassals. Therefore, he had specially sent the most loyal officials to every city to serve as the City Governor to keep the vassals in check.
He had a son named Mu Junyan. Logically speaking, the King Mu Fort would be passed down to him in the future. However, Mu Junyan had been found to have no martial vein since he was young, so he could not cultivate. When he had just become an adult, he went out hunting and was shot by someone, crippling his legs. He was destined to sit in a wheelchair for the rest of his life as a piece of trash waiting to die.
Fortunately, his eldest daughter, Mu Caiwei, was more promising than her younger brother. She had displayed good cultivation talent since she was young. Coupled with her early maturity, she had taken over all the businesses in the King Mu Fort.
The King Mu Fort had integrated the hard work of its ancestors, and it had always adhered to the concept of passing it down to males and not females. It was because it was afraid that the thousand-year-old business would fall into the hands of outsiders and end its inheritance.
Mu Caiwei also knew about her family's situation, so she had never married. She was determined to sacrifice her happiness to protect her younger brother and the King Mu Fort.
"Father didn't refuse, but he didn't agree either!"
King Mu opened his mouth and said bitterly, "However, you're a woman after all. You have to pursue your own happiness, right?"
"Father!"
"I was born as a member of the King Mu Fort, and I'll die as a ghost of the King Mu Fort."
Mu Caiwei suddenly turned around and looked at King Mu quietly, "Moreover, it's not like you don't know that whether it's the Seven Mysteries Mansion or the City Governor's Mansion, the reason they've taken a liking to my daughter is because they want to speed up the collapse of my King Mu Fort and seize the Spirit Fog Island under my King Mu Fort."
At the end of her sentence, a hint of determination flashed across her heart-wrenching pretty face, "That's why I won't marry anyone. Don't worry, I'll definitely work hard to cultivate and protect the King Mu Fort for Junyan!"
"I'm going to visit Junyan!"
Without waiting for King Mu's reply, she left after saying that.
King Mu said bitterly, "It's all my fault. I'm useless. If I had the strength of the Patriarch of Hell, who in the entire Tianfeng sea area would dare to bully my King Mu Fort? Even a king would have to think twice. "
…
After Ye Chen checked into the King Mu Fort, he was arranged to stay in a guest room that the servants of the fort lived in. The guest room was relatively simple, but Jiu 'er had sent him many daily necessities.
"I wonder where the monkey went!"
Ye Chen sat on the bed with his legs crossed and said while deep in thought, "What I need to figure out now is where exactly I am. Only then can I think of a way to return to China."
He slowly walked out of the room and strolled around the courtyard of the King Mu Fort. At the same time, he spread out his Divine Consciousness. Every blade of grass and tree in the entire King Mu Fort was under his perception.
It had to be said that the King Mu Fort was indeed worthy of being the overlord of Tianfeng City. Not only did they have many subordinates in the fort, they were also quite powerful. There were more than ten Martial Dao masters among them. With such strength, they would be an overlord in China.
"Who is it?"
Right at this moment, a loud shout came from afar. Following that, a young man led more than ten people over quickly. Every single one of them was wearing the uniform of the King Mu Fort.
And the one leading them was Wang Chengliang.
"So it's you!"
Wang Chengliang's eyes turned cold when he saw that it was Ye Chen, "Why are you walking around instead of staying in your room? Are you trying to spy on the secrets of the King Mu Fort?
"Men, take him down!"
He waved his hand after saying that. An Illuminating Pulse martial artist walked toward Ye Chen quickly.
Ye Chen's gaze turned cold. Just when he was about to punish him, a cold voice came from behind him, "What's the commotion about?"
At the next moment!
Mu Caiwei, who had already changed into a plain dress, walked over. At this moment, her temperament had changed once again. If the woman in white from before was an icy beauty, then she now had a hint of tenderness and weakness.
As she appeared, the gazes of the dozen or so King Mu Fort guards, including Wang Chengliang, became dazed.
"Caiwei!"
Wang Chengliang pointed at Ye Chen immediately and added fuel to the fire, "This brat is an outsider. It's one thing for us to take him in out of kindness, but he's actually sneaking around in the King Mu Fort. I suspect that he's trying to spy on the secrets of the King Mu Fort."
Mu Caiwei pursed her red lips and looked at Ye Chen with a scrutinizing expression, "Really?"
Ye Chen smiled lightly, "Ms. Mu, I'm bored, so I want to take a look at your Mu family's library. I want to see if there's any way to repair my martial vein!"
Seeing that he had not given up, Mu Caiwei frowned slightly. However, she still called an old man over and instructed, "Uncle Hai, bring him to the King Mu Fort's library. Only one floor!"
"Yes, young mistress!"
The loyal servant called Uncle Hai glanced at Ye Chen in surprise. He then led Ye Chen away under Wang Chengliang's cold gaze.
Wang Chengliang could not help but say, "Caiwei, this person's background is unknown. Why did you allow him to enter the library? What if …"
At this moment, Jiu 'er walked over quickly and said while panting, "Young mistress, bad news, bad news. The people from the City Governor's Mansion are here again!"
"What?!"
Mu Caiwei's expression changed, and she immediately turned around and left.
After Wang Chengliang watched her leave, his expression changed a few times. He secretly gritted his teeth and said, "B * tch, haven't I been nice to you all these years? It's fine if you're not nice to me, but you're taking care of a piece of trash! "
"Just you wait. When the King Mu Fort is completely destroyed, watch how I torture you. I'll take back everything I gave you from you and make you wish you were dead!"
