181: If the young clan leader knew this, wouldn't he understand who was truly loyal to him?

The alluring woman was instantly furious and hurriedly sent a sound transmission back to the hall.

Her ability to host Wang Yuan this time was a path paved by the hall. If anything were to happen to Wang Yuan in Canglan, their Heavenly Nether Hall would be unable to bear the consequences should his elder brother come to hold them accountable.

However, if they managed to satisfy Wang Yuan, then this association would be far more than just sharing a meal.

Therefore, in the alluring woman's mind, she had already passed a death sentence on this white-clothed Void Return expert, who appeared young but had likely lived for a very long time.

It wasn't just her who understood this; how could Ji Bochang not know? He immediately crushed the jade talisman.

"A Void Return expert is causing trouble at the Mandarin Duck Tower, Revered Master, come quickly!"

In an instant, terrifying fluctuations radiated throughout the entire Mandarin Duck Tower.

"Void Return???" Upon hearing Ji Bochang's exclamation, Mu Xiaoxiao wore an expression of disbelief as she turned to look at the white-clothed man, who was calmly picking up food with a serene expression.

He is a Void Return expert!

Then his age must be greater than he appears.

However...

Mu Xiaoxiao wore a look of worry as she glanced at the movements of the Saintess from the Heavenly Nether Hall in the distance.

"Oh no! No matter what, I must get Father to protect him once!"

Thinking this, she also began calling for backup.

At this moment, Jiang Churan finally finished her meal. Satisfied, she put down her chopsticks and looked at the kneeling Wang Yuan.

"Hmm?" "Sword Mother, what is going on?" "Why is he kneeling?"

"This person has a Divided Soul in his brow, and it's quite strong..."

The Sword Mother in her mind seemed to have grown accustomed to this and could only sigh helplessly. It was one of the characteristics of the Glazed Heart: when focusing on one thing, there were no other distracting thoughts...

The Mu Family. The Great Council Hall.

"Wan'er, you are so sensible. Although you haven't said it, Father knows you still have some reservations in your heart. But you must understand that the opportunity to serve the Young Clan Master Shen only comes once. Many people break their heads trying to fight for this spot, and it was only because I, your father, had some connections with the Shen Family in the past..." a kind-faced middle-aged man said earnestly.

Mu Feng, Sect Master of the Heavenly Wood Pavilion, at the Void Return Fifth Layer Realm. Although he forged a Human Palace, his Cultivation Technique is unique, and his vitality is not weaker than the Yao Race, so his combat power belongs to the top tier within the Fifth Layer.

Before him, sitting in the guest seat, was an incredibly beautiful woman. Her personality matched her name, gentle and generous, and she possessed an enviable figure. Beneath her purple dress was a pair of very 'wow' assets. Especially her temperament, which was extremely noble; it was the kind of feeling where one could tell at a glance that she had an extraordinary status, and every gesture she made was elegant.

She had been carefully cultivated by Mu Feng since childhood, proficient in zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and was also extremely skilled in healing.

Her talent was also excellent; at twenty-five, she was already approaching the Great Perfection of Spirit Transformation. The most important point was that she also possessed a special Physique. Although it was not highly ranked and her combat power was not strong, her Physique had the effect of assisting Cultivation.

This was why Ji Bochang was always setting his sights on her. Of course, the news that Mu Wanqing had been internally selected to serve Shen Nian had not yet spread; otherwise, no matter how bold Ji Bochang was, he would not dare to openly provoke her.

"Father, I know. The Young Clan Master Shen is a Dragon among men; how could he be as unbearable as the rumors say? Wan'er has no reservations in her heart," Mu Wanqing smiled gently.

Mu Feng looked at her with great relief and said: "It is great that you can think this way. Yes, rumors are ultimately unreliable. The Shen Family is the strongest of our Human Race, and the Shen Family produces Dragons generation after generation. The Young Clan Master Shen was appointed by Lord Shen Min; how could it be merely out of doting? There must be a reason for this..."

Mu Wanqing nodded in agreement with a smile and picked up the teapot to pour tea for her father.

"However, what Father is most worried about is whether the Young Clan Master Shen will like you..." Mu Feng revealed a trace of melancholy. He knew that such figures who stood at the peak from birth were usually strange, and it was not uncommon for them to be temperamental, just like the son of the head of the ancient Ji Family...

"It doesn't matter, I will make the Young Clan Leader like Wan'er..." Mu Wanqing comforted her father, though in reality, she was feeling a bit apprehensive.

She had never spent time alone with a member of the opposite sex since she was a child. Although she had learned many skills for serving men, she was indeed afraid of actually doing that with a stranger.

What if that Young Clan Master Shen is a pervert? What if he is very ugly? What if he really, truly is as useless as the rumors say? Could I truly serve him for a lifetime?

These things she had thought about, but she had never spoken them out loud, always maintaining an appearance of being very willing. Because she knew very well that since the Mu Family had made this choice, there was no turning back. The Shen Family must not be insulted.

Mu Feng looked at Mu Wanqing with a complex expression, remaining silent for a long time, and finally sighed in his heart.

"Sigh, I hope my decision is not wrong..."

"If you truly do not have a good life, then even if I have to step down as the Sect Master, I will bring you back. From that day on, you will no longer be the Saintess of the Heavenly Wood Pavilion, Mu Wanqing, but only my, Mu Feng's, daughter..."

However, just at this moment. "Hmm?" Mu Feng frowned, and a flash of purple light crossed the divine jade hanging at his waist.

"This girl, can't she let me worry less?"

Mu Feng's expression turned stern, and he immediately stood up. Despite his complaints, he had already disappeared from where he was standing.

Seeing this, Mu Wanqing showed a look of worry. She and Mu Xiaoxiao had always had a very good relationship. Mu Xiaoxiao's personality was completely different from hers; she was careless and often caused trouble.

"What trouble has Xiaoxiao caused again?" Mu Wanqing whispered softly, then turned into a stream of light and gave chase.

Father was strict with Xiaoxiao, so she thought she should go as well. After all, once that Lord arrived, she was afraid she would never have the chance to take the blame for this worry-some sister again.

On the boundless wall of Canglan City, a figure stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes scanning the surroundings brightly, not even missing a single ant.

He was wearing a grey robe with silver Sun and Moon embroidered on his shoulders; it was none other than the Sect Master of the Sun Moon Sect, Meng Hao.

He had been standing here for three days. He had only one purpose for coming here: he wanted to be the first person to host the Young Clan Master Shen!

"Sect Master Meng, still watching here? It's been so long, what if the Young Clan Leader doesn't come to Canglan City and heads straight to Eastern Profound? Wouldn't you have been busy for nothing?" A middle-aged woman suddenly appeared, the space rippling slightly. Her lips held a faint smile. Although she was not young, she still possessed charm, and she was constantly toying with a jade egg in her hand.

In the entire Canglan City, besides Mu Feng, the only person who could tease Meng Hao was the female Hall Revered Master of the Heavenly Nether Hall, Jiang Qing, known as the Demoness.

"It's not in vain!" Meng Hao's voice was sonorous and powerful, then he said: "I've been standing here for three days. If the Young Clan Leader finds out, won't he know who is truly loyal to him?"

"You're just standing here like a fool, how would he know?" Jiang Qing asked, raising an eyebrow.
