140: The terrified King Cangyun

Su Chen just wanted to keep a low profile. If it were when he had just experienced Transmigration, he might have enjoyed this feeling of being above others.

But now, Su Chen only felt it was troublesome.

It was just a meaningless affair.

The King of Cangyun was somewhat panicked, and he quickly nodded: "Yes, yes, yes. This lowly one was somewhat inconsiderate."

Inside the hall, everyone looked at the King of Cangyun's appearance, and they all had some strange feelings in their hearts.

Is this the king of the Cangyun Empire?

Usually mighty and overbearing, yet so timid and submissive in front of Su Chen.

Sure enough, strength is the only hard truth.

The King of Cangyun quickly said: "Someone, hurry and arrange seats for everyone from the Mu Family."

Su Chen came with the Mu Family. Although he didn't know what had happened, he assumed their relationship must be quite good. To be safe, it was acceptable to treat the Mu Family with a bit more importance.

But thinking of what Lin Yun'er had done recently, his heart felt heavy. It seemed he needed to find an Opportunity to properly compensate the Mu Family.

As a Prodigy of the royal family, he was naturally well aware of the things Lin Yun'er had done, and he naturally knew what she had done to the Mu Family.

However, the Mu Family had no value worth his protection, so even though the King of Cangyun knew, he had never intervened.

Now, seeing the Mu Family arrive with Su Chen, he was panic-stricken.

If the relationship between the Mu Family and Su Chen was truly good, then their Cangyun royal family would be finished.

The only good news was that Lin Yun'er had not caused substantial harm to the Mu Family, nor had she killed any members of the Mu Family. She had only targeted them a little. As long as he was willing to pay a heavy price for compensation, the Mu Family certainly wouldn't say anything more.

At this moment.

Lin Yun'er was completely bewildered. How could the Mu Family be associated with Su Chen? The gap in status was just too large.

The Mu Family and Su Chen were completely people from different worlds.

She even doubted Su Chen's true identity.

But seeing Su Yu kneel directly to Su Chen, she didn't dare to disbelieve. Su Yu's identity as part of the Su Family was genuine; he couldn't possibly have mistaken the person.

Thinking of this, she looked cautiously towards Su Chen.

This is that Young Lord of the Su Family!?

Lin Yun'er, who had always been full of arrogance, felt a touch of inferiority in her eyes after seeing Su Chen.

Being a bit wild in the Cangyun Empire was fine, but once she left this place, she, Lin Yun'er, was nothing.

Although she was usually domineering, having been born in a place like the royal family, Lin Yun'er was not stupid. She naturally knew who could be offended and who could not.

She looked towards Mu Qingling again, her fists clenched slightly.

Damn it! Mu Qingling!

Lin Yun'er was full of unwillingness. If the Mu Family really had a relationship with Su Chen, then she would never be able to target the Mu Family in the future.

No matter how bold she was, she wouldn't dare offend the Su Family.

The members of the Mu Family were dizzily invited to sit down by the King of Cangyun. Mu Hua was completely confused. Originally, they had planned to lower their attitude as much as possible when they came in, being as humble as they could.

But it ended up developing like this, which was something Mu Hua hadn't expected.

At this moment. Mu Qingling sat beside Su Chen, looking at him with fiery eyes.

Is he the Lord of the Eastern Region?

If she could become his disciple, that would definitely be a Heaven-Defying Opportunity for her.

Thinking of this, Mu Qingling lowered her head, feeling somewhat disappointed. Along the way, Su Chen's attitude towards her had been very indifferent; clearly, he was not very satisfied with her.

Could she... really become his disciple?

Su Chen was a powerhouse at the level of a Supreme Saint, already standing at the pinnacle of the entire Xuantian Realm. Such a figure was a powerhouse far beyond her reach.

For a moment, Mu Qingling's heart was filled with bitterness.

"Sigh, I'll just take it one step at a time."

Su Yu just wanted to calculate the number of forces in the Cangyun Empire, and it was finished in about half an hour.

He didn't stay long either, and after saluting Su Chen, he left the Cangyun Empire.

And Su Chen naturally left with Mu Qingling and the others.

Walking out of the main hall, Mu Hua finally reacted completely. His face was full of panic as he followed to the side, not daring to walk in front of Su Chen at all.

Thinking back to his mindset when leaving the Mu Family, he had actually had some thoughts of directly driving Su Chen away at that time, but only because of Mu Qingling did he not do so.

Fortunately! If he had done that, the Mu Family's crisis would definitely not have been so easily resolved, and he might have even offended this powerhouse.

Not long after returning to their residence, the King of Cangyun brought Lin Yun'er to apologize to the Mu Family, resolving the grievances between Lin Yun'er and the Mu Family.

Even if Lin Yun'er was ten thousand times unwilling, since the Mu Family was somewhat related to Su Chen, she naturally dared not continue to target the Mu Family.

With this, the Mu Family's crisis was considered resolved.

Mu Hua stood in the courtyard, looking up at the sky with a vacant expression.

It ended just like that?

Originally, he had anticipated that after entering Cangyun City, he would have to be a bit more humble, play up his misery, and win the sympathy of the King of Cangyun, but the matter had ended inexplicably.

Immediately after, Mu Hua looked towards the direction of the courtyard where Mu Qingling was, and an expression of excitement appeared on his face.

That is Su Chen. If Mu Qingling could become his disciple, that would be a great happy event for the entire Mu Family.

Suddenly, Mu Hua seemed to think of something, and his expression became incomparably cold.

Since the Mu Family's crisis had been resolved, after returning to Jinling City, he would definitely have to ferret out that traitor in the Mu Family.

Actually, the Mu Family was quite decadent, and Mu Hua had always known this. It was precisely because of this reason that the Mu Family had become weaker and weaker.

This crisis also caused Mu Hua's mindset to change. In the past, his way of handling things was soft, but this method was clearly not working. He needed to be strict when necessary, otherwise, he would definitely be unable to manage the Mu Family well.

Taking a deep breath, Mu Hua's eyes gradually became sharp.

...

In another courtyard.

Su Chen stood with his hands behind his back, and Mu Qingling stood obediently beside him. She looked towards Su Chen from time to time, and in her bright eyes, admiration and awe flashed occasionally.

After quite a while passed like this, Su Chen said indifferently: "Well, have you figured out how to satisfy me?"

As soon as Su Chen said this, an embarrassed look immediately appeared on Mu Qingling's face.

"Lord Region Master, Qingling is ignorant; I really do not know what you want me to do."

Although Su Chen's attitude towards the behavior she displayed was calm, he was not repulsed or dissatisfied, so Mu Qingling guessed that Su Chen still had some intention of taking her as a disciple.

Unfortunately, she didn't know what Su Chen's test was exactly. Perhaps it had already begun, but she just hadn't noticed it yet.

Originally, Mu Qingling addressed Su Chen as "Sir" because she didn't know his identity, but now that she knew, she didn't dare to call him "Sir" anymore.

Su Chen didn't speak. He gently snapped his fingers, and the two of them instantly disappeared from Cangyun City.

When Mu Qingling came back to her senses, she had already arrived on top of a high mountain, and in the distance, she could vaguely see a grand city.

That is... Cangyun City!?

Mu Qingling was shocked in her heart. She could see some very iconic buildings in the city, so she recognized immediately that it was Cangyun City.

Is this the Lord of the Eastern Region?

Mu Qingling couldn't help but swallow her saliva. To be able to teleport in the blink of an eye—what a terrifying level of strength.
