136: Traitor, news has spread

"Stop!"

Mu Qingling released her Aura, and the pressure of her Nascent Soul Middle Stage instantly permeated the surroundings.

Her heart was filled with worry, fearing that she would displease Su Chen.

Just kidding, this was an expert at at least the Void Refining Stage; if he were dissatisfied with the Mu Family, then the Mu Family would basically be completely finished.

Mu Qingling drew her sword, a sharp Aura suddenly bursting forth, and she pointed at the two servants heading toward Su Chen, her Killing Intent terrifyingly intense.

If the two took another step forward, she would immediately take action and kill them.

"Third Aunt, there is a limit to my concessions. If you continue like this, don't blame me for being heartless."

Mu Qingling's tone was gloomy, her face as cold as frost.

Although she was a woman, she was not the weak type.

Seeing Mu Qingling's expression, Zhao Rong's heart trembled. She was only at the Core Formation Perfection, so she was naturally no match for the Nascent Soul Middle Stage Mu Qingling.

"You... what do you want to do?"

Zhao Rong stammered.

As for the two servants, they had long been scared out of their wits, retreating continuously and not daring to approach Su Chen at all.

Mu Qingling said coldly, "Get out!"

Zhao Rong's expression was extremely ugly. Being scolded like this by Mu Qingling, she was extremely displeased, but since her strength was inferior to Mu Qingling's, she was helpless.

Finally, Zhao Rong snorted coldly.

"Mu Qingling, just keep playing here with this pretty boy, and you might as well get the Mu Family killed in the end."

After saying this, she turned and left.

After walking out of the courtyard, her expression was extremely gloomy, and a cold chill flickered in her eyes, making the two servants behind her unable to help but feel their hair stand on end.

After pausing for a moment like this, Zhao Rong slightly raised her head, and a decision was made in her heart.

"The Mu Family will be destroyed sooner or later; I must survive!"

Thinking this, she said to the two servants beside her, "You go."

The two servants were naturally relieved as if granted amnesty and left in a hurry.

Following that, Zhao Rong walked toward the outside of the Mu Family, and before long, she completely disappeared from the Mu Family.

Inside the small courtyard.

Mu Qingling said apologetically, "Senior, I am truly sorry. My Third Aunt is just like that."

Su Chen said indifferently, "It is no matter."

Regarding a character like Zhao Rong, Su Chen felt absolutely no ripples in his heart.

The gap in status between the two was simply too great; a person like Zhao Rong was not even qualified to make her Life Qi.

It was as if an ant were offending you; choosing to step on it directly or ignore it was the same, and Su Chen himself was relatively lazy, so he couldn't be bothered to deal with her.

Seeing Su Chen sitting on the chair with his eyes closed to rest, Mu Qingling did not continue to say anything and returned to her state of Cultivate.

However, very quickly she opened her eyes again, her face full of annoyance.

Given the Mu Family's current situation, she really found it difficult to maintain a normal state of mind to Cultivate.

Mu Qingling looked toward Su Chen, her eyes filled with hope.

Currently, only an expert like Su Chen could resolve the Mu Family's situation; apart from this, there was no other way.

Taking a deep breath, Mu Qingling forcibly calmed her inner emotions and began to Cultivate again.

For her now, only by increasing her cultivation a little more could she have a better chance of survival when Lin Yun'er came to attack.

Two more days passed just like that.

On this day, a maidservant came into the courtyard, and she said with a hurried expression.

"Young Miss, the Family Head wants you to go to the Council Hall."

Mu Qingling was stunned for a moment. Why would the Family Head summon her at this time?

Although she had some doubts in her heart, she immediately got up and left.

The Mu Family.

Inside the Council Hall.

Sitting inside were all the high-level and core members of the Mu Family. They were gathered together, and everyone's expression was extremely ugly.

Mu Qingling was not the last one to arrive, but when she walked into the hall, the gazes everyone cast toward her were filled with displeasure and resentment.

The Mu Family's current predicament was almost directly related to Mu Qingling; there was no one in the Mu Family who did not hate her.

In the hall, there was also a gentle-looking middle-aged couple. They beckoned to Mu Qingling, and the three of them sat together.

After waiting for a while, the personnel finally arrived in full.

There were twenty-seven people in total.

Except for a few who looked puzzled, the others all looked extremely ugly.

After Mu Hua looked around the circle, he said in a very gloomy voice, "I presume you have all heard about the matters in the outside world?"

Matters?

Mu Qingling was slightly stunned, evidently not knowing what had happened.

"May I ask the Family Head, what exactly has happened?"

Hearing Mu Qingling's question, someone immediately slammed the table and stood up, cursing, "Mu Qingling, stop pretending you don't know here. You have harmed the Mu Family like this, yet you still pretend to be innocent?"

"Exactly, I suspect that the news of the Old Master's death was spread by her."

"She is truly the disaster star of my Mu Family."

"The news of the Old Master's passing is only known to us in the entire Mu Family. The person with the highest probability of spreading the news is none other than Mu Qingling."

A group of people accused Mu Qingling one after another, their words extremely sharp.

Mu Qingling was completely bewildered.

What was going on!

The news of the Old Master's death had spread?

She paid no heed to the accusations of others within the clan. In her mind, the consequences of this matter suddenly burst forth: if the news of the Old Master's death spread, Lin Yun'er would inevitably know.

At that time, their Mu Family would be finished.

Lin Yun'er had been waiting for Old Master Mu's passing every moment; she had long been impatient to torture her and destroy the Mu Family.

As for the news being spread by her, this matter was simply absurd. How could she possibly expose such news herself?

Just at this moment, Zhao Rong said coldly, "Mu Qingling has specifically kept a pretty boy. These past few days, who knows, maybe when she was in bed, she leaked it to that pretty boy."

Hearing this, everyone immediately looked at Mu Qingling with somewhat strange eyes.

Come to think of it, this matter was actually quite possible.

At first, Mu Qingling said that an expert was prepared to take her as a disciple. At the beginning, everyone did not believe it because currently, there was no faction willing to have any involvement with their Mu Family.

Taking Mu Qingling as a disciple, wasn't something like that a joke?

But hearing Zhao Rong say this, their thoughts began to change.

What Zhao Rong said was not necessarily false. The Mu Family was currently in deep crisis, and as a woman, it was normal for Mu Qingling to want to have no regrets once before she died.

Mu Qingling's parents' expressions were extremely ugly. Just as they were about to speak, Mu Qingling stood up directly and scolded Zhao Rong angrily:

"Zhao Rong, keep your mouth clean!"

"Presumptuous!"

Inside the hall, a middle-aged man shouted suddenly, releasing the Aura of the Nascent Soul Late Stage.

The Mu Family's Third Elder, Mu Li.

Mu Li said coldly, "Mu Qingling, how are you speaking to your Third Aunt?"

"Right now we are only investigating; betraying the Family is a major matter. You have harmed the Mu Family so miserably, do you not even allow your Third Aunt to say a few words to you?"

His eyes were full of indifference; he had long been displeased with Mu Qingling.

Regardless of whether this matter was true or false, if it could make Mu Qingling lose her reputation, that would also be good.
