"Young Master Shi, this is the King Mu Fort's Sutra Pavilion!"
Uncle Hai led Ye Chen to an ancient building that covered an area of about 400 to 500 square meters. He took out his key and opened the door on the first floor, "Please, but young mistress has instructed that you can only stay on the first floor!"
"Thank you!"
Ye Chen walked into the first floor of the Sutra Pavilion after saying that. Looking around, he saw a floor filled with antique bookshelves. There were countless ancient books with intact covers and neatly arranged ancient books.
He walked over and looked at the ancient books beside him. Ye Chen picked one up casually and realized that there were a few ancient words written on it, 'Beginner Martial Artist Basics'.
'Ancient words? Looks like it really verified my previous guess. The culture of this world almost overlaps with that of Earth … '
Ye Chen's eyes focused as he slowly flipped open the book in his hand and browsed through it quickly. With the power of his Divine Consciousness, he could almost read ten lines at a glance.
…
In the guest hall of the King Mu Fort.
The atmosphere was heavy and oppressive!
The hall was very spacious. The few people sitting at the top were the upper echelons of the King Mu Fort led by King Mu. However, they did not look too good at that moment.
There were three figures at the bottom. The person in the middle was a middle-aged man dressed in a starry official robe. The middle-aged man's temples were white, and he was full of smiles. His eyes shone brightly.
Behind him stood a young man in white with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes. Although the young man did not say a word, his brows were filled with arrogance.
Following the sound of footsteps, Mu Caiwei, who was dressed in a plain dress, walked in quickly. She was very swift and decisive.
As she stepped in, everyone's gazes in the hall landed on her. King Mu and the rest were fine.
On the other hand, the light in the man's eyes shone even brighter. He laughed out loud and said, "I believe this is my niece, Caiwei? I haven't seen you for a few months, but you've become more and more graceful! "
The white-clothed young man's gaze froze when he looked at Mu Caiwei, and then waves of strong possessiveness flashed through his eyes.
"Father, Second Elder, Third Elder!"
Mu Caiwei's expression did not change in the face of everyone's gazes. She stepped forward and nodded at the upper echelons of the King Mu Fort, including King Mu.
"Caiwei, you came at the right time!"
King Mu nodded slightly. He looked at the middle-aged man below and introduced, "Let me introduce you. This is the new City Governor of Tianfeng City, Situ Yun. The person behind him is City Governor Situ's son, Situ Yu."
Mu Caiwei said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner, "Greetings, City Lord Situ!"
"My niece Caiwei, there's no need to be so polite!"
Situ Yun waved his hand enthusiastically and smiled, "Since Niece Caiwei is here, I'll get straight to the point. My son Situ Yu has always admired Niece Caiwei, so he sent me here to ask for Niece Caiwei's opinion."
As his voice fell.
King Mu's heart sank as he sat at the top, and a hint of bitterness surfaced in his heart, "Situ Yun, oh Situ Yun, why are you forcing me like this?!"
Situ Yun seemed to have sensed that the atmosphere was a bit depressing. He smiled again and said: "Also, I would like to announce a good news to everyone. My son has become an inner disciple of the Yun Hai Sect a month ago."
As soon as these words came out!
The expressions of the King Mu Fort's upper echelons, including King Mu, changed!
The Yun Hai Sect!
This was a cultivation sect. The sect was filled with powerhouses, and its foundation could be said to be terrifying. If there was a force in the Great Li Dynasty that was not afraid of the imperial power, it would be the Yun Hai Sect.
Even though the King Mu Fort was an overlord in Tianfeng City, in the eyes of the Yun Hai Sect, they were no different from ants!
However, the Yun Hai Sect rarely recruited disciples from the outside world. Moreover, the talent of the people they recruited was extremely terrifying. Just the threshold alone was the peak innate stage.
Even Mu Caiwei turned pale. Her beautiful eyes could not help but glance at Situ Yu who was behind Situ Yun.
Seemingly aware of her gaze, Situ Yu gave her a slight smile. However, the arrogance in his eyes could not be concealed.
King Mu said in a deep voice, "Nephew Situ has stepped into the peak innate stage?"
"That's right!"
Meeting everyone's gazes, Situ Yu smiled proudly and said in a carefree manner, "I stepped into the peak innate stage a month ago, and I'm only a step away from the venerable stage. Therefore, the sect specially gave me two Golden Dragon Pills. I can step into the venerable stage at any time!"
As soon as he finished speaking!
The expressions of King Mu and the others changed drastically!
Golden Dragon Pill!
It was a spirit pill that could only be refined by a Level-5 Mystic Master. Normally, a single pill could allow a cultivator who had stopped at the threshold of the venerable stage to step into the venerable stage. Therefore, it was extremely valuable. Even if they sold the King Mu Fort, they would not be able to afford it. Even if they could afford it, there was no market for it.
Now that Situ Yu had the Golden Dragon Pill, it meant that he could step into the venerable stage at any time. It was no wonder that the City Governor's Mansion had been so arrogant recently.
Thinking to this point, King Mu and the other upper echelons of the King Mu Fort looked at each other and saw helplessness in each other's eyes.
It was already terrifying enough that the City Governor's Mansion had the support of the King Mu Fort. Now that the Yun Hai Sect was added, even ten King Mu Forts would not be a match for them.
After Situ Yun noticed the expressions of everyone present, he suddenly said with a smile, "Brother Mu, in my opinion, my son and Niece Caiwei can be said to be a match made in heaven. Why don't we take advantage of the fact that Niece Caiwei is present today to tie the knot between our families?"
At this point, he added, "Of course, in order to express our sincerity, the City Governor's Mansion is willing to offer a Golden Dragon Pill as a betrothal gift!"
His words were like a thunderclap that shocked everyone, causing their expressions to change. A trace of disbelief flashed across their faces.
The Second Elder of the King Mu Fort stood up in shock, "City Governor Situ, may I ask if you're really going to give the King Mu Fort a Golden Dragon Pill?"
It was no wonder he was so excited!
There were only two venerable stage powerhouses in the King Mu Fort, and they were King Mu and the Grand Elder, Mu Sansi. If there was a Golden Dragon Pill, it would mean that the King Mu Fort would have another venerable stage powerhouse guarding it!
"Of course!"
Situ Yun seemed to have guessed all of this long ago. He looked at King Mu indifferently, "Other than the Golden Dragon Pill, the City Governor's Mansion can also put in a good word for the King Mu Fort in front of the King Mu. What do you think, Brother Mu?"
King Mu's heart skipped a beat. Situ Yun's conditions were too tempting, and he subconsciously wanted to agree to it.
A cold voice rang out, "I don't agree!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Mu Caiwei, who had been silent all this while, had a cold expression on her pretty face, "I don't agree to this marriage!"
"You don't agree?"
Situ Yun's extremely enthusiastic expression gradually turned cold, "Does Brother Mu think the same?"
"Caiwei, stand down!"
The Second Elder of the King Mu Fort who spoke earlier shouted, "This is a huge matter of the King Mu Fort. How can you interrupt?"
However, Mu Caiwei remained unmoved. Instead, she looked at King Mu with a firm gaze as if she was looking at a stranger.
