Ji Yu thought of a better and more convenient reason. He wanted to see what this widow and orphan could do.

“I understand what brother meant. I will go to the Mingyue Mountain Villa early in the morning.”

Ji Rui stared at the direction of Mingyue Villa with a vicious smile.

“Young Miss, Young Master, our people had destroyed more than 20 reservoirs the night before yesterday. Do you want to act tonight?”

“As long as we have the opportunity, we should do our best. We have cooperated with Mu Family’s paper industry and various industries. We better let the Mingyue Mountain Villa open their shops in a few days without finished products. Otherwise, it will have a great impact on some stores under our name.”

Ji Yu regretted going out this time to experience the outside world. After all, in just a month, things had become beyond his control.

He, Ji Hong, and Ji Rui have always been the proudest talents of the Ji family. They were all outstanding figures in terms of cultivation and alchemy.

“Yes, 13 stores will open on the same day, and the industries they do are all the same as those of Mu’s family, and also our Zhou Guofu. What is the purpose of the Master of Mingyue Villa? Even a fool can see it. Since she dared to come to the capital to challenge us, she had to pay a high price for it. And also, the humiliation our family received that day in the tournament, we should give it back to them one by one.”

Ji Rui said sullenly. Her twisted face looked ferocious under the moonlight.

“Poor Hong’er, he still can’t get out of the bed yet.”

Ji Yu had the same thoughts as Ji Rui.

“What’s else news is there?”

Ji Rui asked again.

“During this time, the Master of the Yun City occasionally appear in Mingyue Villa. It seems that she has a good relationship with Mingyue Villa. It’s just that Mingyuexuan’s guards are also strict, so our people cannot get close in there.”

“What?”

Ji Rui couldn’t believe that Mu Yunxuan, who has never been close to women, would come to Mingyue Villa in person.

What did she miss during this month when she left the capital?

She originally heard the rumor saying that Ling Qiushui already became the wife of the Master in Yun City. Upon hearing this news, she and her elder brother hurried back to the capital without stopping. Unexpectedly, she saw everything that happened at the capital’s gate. She knew that Ling Qiushui was over.

Ji Rui frowned.

“Since we can’t get into Mingyue Villa, we will go there tomorrow and go back first tonight.”

Ji Yu had already thought about it.

“Well, let’s make plans after we go there tomorrow.”

Ji Rui’s eyes instantly became gloomy. She bit the corner of her lips, so her nose was slightly got wrinkled. However, the ferocious look in her face slightly became better than before.

“You go back and keep staring. If you have any news, report it immediately.”

Ji Yu explained.

“Yes, young master. This subordinate will leave.”

Suddenly, there was silence in the woods, only the sound of frogs and cicadas could be heard in the dull night.

A little red fox jumped happily on the treetops and ran towards Mingyue Villa. Because of greed, he didn’t forget to pick a few flowers and put them in his mouth along the way. His amber eyes looked clever and cunning.

*

In the dungeon of Yun City, the dungeons here looked different from other places. They were made of cold iron and had hidden deadly traps everywhere. It’s more difficult to get out from here than to climb to the sky.

The iron door opened after the creaking sound.

The Taoist Priest and Ling Qiushui looked outside silently.

Because she desperately tried to escape, Ling Qiushui looked even more miserable.

Mu Yunxuan brought Zi Mo, Jin Cheng, and Mu Yunhan with him.

Mu Yunxuan was covered with a cold atmosphere. His handsome face looked a bit strange with his coldness.

But in Ling Qiushui’s point of view, his handsomeness was like a deadly poison.

“Yunxuan… …”

As soon as Ling Qiushui spoke, Mu Yunxuan’s cold eyes became fierce. She had no choice but to swallow the rest of her words.

Mu Yunxuan’s eyes looked abnormally cold. His handsome face that was originally attractive looked extremely indifferent. His whole body exuded a cold atmosphere that can make people have palpitation.

“Taoist Priest, I heard you have something to tell to this lord?”

Mu Yunxuan didn’t beat around the bush, he directly asked coldly.

The Taoist Priest calmly looked at Mu Yunxuan.

Then, faintly asked: “Is the Holy Lord trying bit the hands that feed you?”

Mu Yunxuan’s eyes became as deep as the abyss.

Naturally, he understood what the Taoist Priest meant. However, compared to what the Mu Family did for the Wu Clan, that matter was trivial.

“Taoist Priest, aren’t you the one who’s bitting the hands that feed you?”

His cold voice sounded extremely harsh.

The Taoist Priest couldn’t help but shuddered. A few years ago, he was just a yellow-haired boy, who only knew how to listen. He didn’t see him only for a few years, but he had become a big bully, that he couldn’t afford to look at him.

“Do you know that the curse has not been completely lifted?”

Such a simple sentence, but made Mu Yunxuan’s heart to sink to the bottom of hell.
