“What about tomorrow? I won’t back down an inch on this matter. Senior Sister, you stay with Qin Chu, and I’ll send a message to Spirit Medicine Valley to have my father come over. They are too much of a bully; from now on, their Elder Hall shouldn’t expect any more Medicinal Pill support.” Mu Xuan was furious and felt wronged.
“My good daughter, you are right. If they bully you, then they shouldn’t expect to receive any more Medicinal Pills from our Mu family of Spirit Medicine Valley.” A blue-robed man and a white-clothed woman appeared.
“Greetings, Master, greetings, Uncle Mu.” Tang Wan’er bowed to the two.
The white-clothed woman looked at Mu Xuan, “Xiao Qi, you’ve been wronged. Why did you run? No matter what it is, I, your Master, can handle it.”
“Master!” Mu Xuan threw herself into the white-clothed woman’s arms and began to cry, her veil falling off.
This was the first time Qin Chu had seen Mu Xuan’s appearance. She looked about eighteen or nineteen, and at this moment, her tear-streaked face was very heartbreaking.
“Alright, there are outsiders present!” The white-clothed woman pushed Mu Xuan away and helped her wipe her tears.
At this moment, Qin Chu cupped his hands to the blue-robed man and white-clothed woman, “Junior Qin Chu, greetings to both Seniors.”
“This Seat is Mu Yuanling. Thank you for helping my daughter in her time of need. Our Spirit Medicine Valley will remember this favor.” The blue-robed man, Mu Yuanling, nodded to Qin Chu. He was the Valley Master of Spirit Medicine Valley in Silver Moon Palace, a position equivalent to an Elder.
The white-clothed woman sized up Qin Chu, “I know all about this incident. It caused you some misunderstanding, but it doesn’t matter. This Seat will not allow anyone to act recklessly.”
Qin Chu nodded. He felt that he couldn’t condemn Silver Moon Palace entirely. Mu Yuanling and the Silver Moon Palace Master still spoke with the demeanor of Elders.
After wiping away her tears, Mu Xuan began to boil water to make tea.
“Palace Master, no matter what Zhuang Han says, my Mu Xuan will not enter into a marriage alliance. If things get too out of hand, then our Spirit Medicine Valley will have no choice but to withdraw from Silver Moon Palace.” Mu Yuanling looked at the Silver Moon Palace Master and said.
“Valley Master Mu, you must trust this Seat. Some things this Seat can accomplish. Spirit Medicine Valley has been with Silver Moon Palace for countless years, always coexisting harmoniously. There will be no problems during this Seat’s generation. If Zhuang Han wants to fight, this Seat will accompany him in a fight.” The aura around the Silver Moon Palace Master rippled slightly.
Qin Chu listened silently. It was not convenient for him to speak about the matters of Silver Moon Palace.
“Master, what is Elder Xue’s opinion? Does she truly support the marriage alliance proposed by the Grand Elder?” Mu Xuan asked, looking at the Silver Moon Palace Master.
“Elder Xue is a reasonable person. This time, she must have listened to others’ fabrications. I, your Master, will handle this matter. You must know that there is nothing in Silver Moon Palace that I, your Master, cannot accomplish.” The Silver Moon Palace Master said, stroking the back of Mu Xuan’s head.
“My good daughter, actually, Elder Xue coming out of seclusion to handle things is to prevent an even greater conflict from arising. Because another Grand Elder of Silver Moon Palace, like Grand Elder Zhuang Han, is also from the Zhuang family. If Grand Elder Zhuang were to handle it, things would be even harder to resolve. Elder Xue might be the mediator; once she takes over the matter, Grand Elder Zhuang can no longer interfere.” Mu Yuanling spoke.
“Where there are people, there is struggle.” Qin Chu sighed with emotion.
“Your name is Qin Chu, right? Where are you from?” The Silver Moon Palace Master looked at Qin Chu. She already knew his name.
“Actually, where Junior is from is not important. I am just a passerby. After Palace Master and Elder Xue meet Junior, Junior will leave and leave no trace.” Qin Chu said.
The Silver Moon Palace Master scrutinized Qin Chu, “Cautious in speech and action, this is the infallible secret to navigating the Jianghu. However, you underestimate this Seat. Even if you are from the Cold Star Imperial Dynasty, even if you are an opponent of Silver Moon Palace, this Seat will not make things difficult for a Junior.”
Qin Chu felt a little awkward. He had no choice but to be cautious. He was from Southern Flame State, traveling in Southern Separation State. If he were cut down, no one would even collect his body.
“Palace Master, this kid dares not speak carelessly, nor does he dare to say where he comes from. There’s definitely something going on. A good interrogation might yield results.” Mu Yuanling said.
Damn it! Qin Chu cursed inwardly. This old man Mu Yuanling was not a good person at all!
Exhaling, Qin Chu stood up, “Senior, that’s not very kind of you. Junior saved your daughter from a group of perverts!”
“How could this Seat forget that? That’s easy to handle. This Seat will first host a banquet to thank you, and then conduct a strict interrogation.” Mu Yuanling said, continuing Qin Chu’s words.
Qin Chu turned to look at Mu Xuan, “Are you sure this is your biological father?”
Mu Xuan’s face flushed, because her father was too unkind, he was clearly trying to provoke Qin Chu!
“How dare you speak like that, kid?” Mu Yuanling was very displeased to hear Qin Chu’s words.
“Senior, it’s not easy for a kid to venture into the Jianghu. Please don’t make things difficult; just let this kid off the hook.” Qin Chu said.
“Qin Chu, there’s nothing wrong with telling us your background. Even if you’re an opponent of Silver Moon Palace, this Seat won’t make things difficult for you; I will still protect your safety. Furthermore, perhaps your Elders have some old connection with this Seat!” The Silver Moon Palace Master looked at Qin Chu and said.
Qin Chu was conflicted. If he didn’t speak, they would consider him an enemy. He could only tell them.
“My name is Qin Chu. I was just passing through Southern Separation State and encountered Mu Xuan injured, so I lent a hand. Walking the Jianghu with righteousness, I shouldn’t be made things difficult for.” Qin Chu said.
The Silver Moon Palace Master and Mu Yuanling exchanged glances. They hadn’t expected Qin Chu to be an outsider.
“An outsider entering Southern Separation State should indeed be careful in their actions. Someone, take Young Master Qin to rest.” The Silver Moon Palace Master called out to Mu Xuan’s maid.
The maid led Qin Chu to rest. The Silver Moon Palace Master looked at Mu Xuan, “Xiao Qi, tell me the details of your outing this time, and also the situation of Qin Chu’s battle with Disciple Zhou Mei.”
Bowing to the Silver Moon Palace Master, Mu Xuan immediately recounted the details after she met Qin Chu, including Qin Chu’s several battles.
“Master, Father, Disciple feels that I am not his opponent. In battle, his longsword has no unnecessary movements; every move is a killing blow, and he possesses a second-level Sword Intent.” Mu Xuan said.
“So, this kid is a ruthless person!” Mu Yuanling said, stroking his chin.
“He wasn’t afraid of Elder Zhou Mei, and even drew his sword to fight, which shows he has strength.” Tang Wan’er said.
Mu Yuanling looked at the Silver Moon Palace Master, “Palace Master, this is a good seedling. If possible, we should keep him.”
“That’s impossible. He has urgent matters on his mind. This time on the road, he repeatedly tried to get me off the beast carriage. He has no interest in Silver Moon Palace, not even a little.” Mu Xuan said.
Qin Chu rested in the guest room. He knew that he would face a challenge tomorrow. Even if the Silver Moon Palace Master and Mu Yuanling didn’t make things difficult for him, the Grand Elder and Zhou Mei wouldn’t let him off easily. Things wouldn’t be so smooth.
At this moment, in a courtyard on a peak of Silver Moon Palace, Zhou Mei was reporting the situation to a black-robed man.
“A mere brat wants to slap us in the face? Tomorrow, arrange for someone to spar with him, and simply cut him down. Use him to dampen the spirit of that faction!” The black-robed Elder said.
