Chapter 16 Come to Apologize
"very good."

At this time, a warm breeze blew gently, accompanied by a strong smell of blood lingering at the tip of her nose. Mu Nanyue frowned in disgust.

She said calmly, "It's dealt with."

"Yes!" the secret guards responded in unison.

……

After returning to the Mu family, Mu Nanyue got off the carriage and threw a bottle of elixir to the guard.

"Go to the Dark Tower and raise him. Come back after you have improved your cultivation."

There is a place where spiritual energy is concentrated in the back mountain of the Mu family. It is called the Ming Tower. It has a total of nine floors. It is the place where the Mu family members treat illnesses and heal injuries.

There is also a space for training.

"Yes! I will not let the young lady down!" The guard blushed and lowered his head, holding the small porcelain bottle tightly in both hands.

Jiyue Pavilion.

After Mu Nanyue returned to her room to rest, she hesitated whether to tell her mother about her father and Pei Yinghuai. After thinking it over, she decided not to.

She was afraid that her mother would be happy for nothing.

The Ten Thousand Years Resurrection Ganoderma Lucidum was in hand, the only thing missing was the important Soul Condensing Pill, and Mu Nanyue happened to know who had it.

When she was ready for her father to use, her mother would naturally know if he recovered.

By then, there will be many more surprises.

As for her and Pei Yinghuai's affairs, Mu Nanyue's mother knew everything about her and should have known about it in advance when she didn't return home.

The mother didn't say anything, which meant that Mu Nanyue could do it.

Putting aside the chaotic thoughts in his mind, Mu Nanyue sat cross-legged, circulated the spiritual power in his body and entered a state of cultivation.

Time flies and night falls.

After Mu Nanyue finished her practice, she felt refreshed and relaxed.

Unfortunately, her cultivation has not reached the bottleneck yet, and she doesn’t know how long it will take to be promoted.

"Knock-"

There was a knock on the door, followed by the gatekeeper's report.

"Miss, Miss Pei is here."

Mu Nanyue raised her eyebrows and said casually, "Let her wait."

I thought Pei Jinshu could delay until the next day, but unexpectedly he came tonight.

Mu Nanyue tidied up and walked slowly towards the living room.

I don't know how long it took, but when her figure appeared, Pei Jinshu, with a depressed look on his face, straightened his back and had a disdainful expression on his face.

She raised her chin proudly, her nose pointed upwards, and looked at Mu Nanyue with dissatisfaction in her eyes, "You are so slow in coming here for such a short distance, are you deliberately trying to embarrass me?"

Mu Nanyue pulled the corner of her mouth, turned around and sat lazily on the upper seat, "Hurry up if you have something to do, I don't have time to care about you."

Pei Jinshu was so angry that he gritted his teeth.

She didn't like the tone, as if she was an eyesore in Mu Nanyue's eyes and she didn't want to spend any time paying attention to her.

Pei Jinshu clenched his hands under his wide sleeves, his nails digging deeply into his palms, and the pain was masked by his anger.

"I'm sorry! My rude words today were unintentional. I never meant to target Miss Mu. Please forgive me!"

She stood up and bowed slightly to Mu Nanyue, but said this with gritted teeth.

Pei Jinshu was unwilling to do so. Mu Nanyue saw everything and said with a slightly curled red lip: "It's good that you know you are wrong. Sister Pei, please be careful when you speak outside, so as not to cause trouble."

Pei Jinshu stood up straight and glared at her angrily, "Are you cursing me?"

Mu Nanyue shrugged, "Don't overthink it, I'm just reminding you kindly."

She has a sharp tongue and is fearless, which has offended many people.

Now that the Pei family is here, Pei Jinshu will be safe no matter how arrogant he is.

However, after Mu Nanyue died in the previous life, Fu Qian'an became the head of the aristocratic family. What would be the fate of those who had offended him in the past?

Mu Nanyue didn't need to think about it, she also knew that with Fu Qian'an's vengeful character, those people would definitely not have a good end. When she learned that Pei Yinghuai was a villain and was destroying the small world like a madman, she thought that Fu Qian'an would destroy the Pei family.

They already had deep resentment and a blood feud, so it's no wonder that Pei Yinghuai turned evil.

"Are you so kind? No one would believe it!" Pei Jinshu snorted coldly, took out a black wooden box from the space and placed it heavily on the table.

Mu Nanyue's eyes darkened slightly, "Is this how you apologize? If someone didn't know, they would think you were being rude to me!"

Pei Jinshu: “…”

She stamped her feet in anger, pointed her finger at Mu Nanyue and said coldly: "Don't push it any further, I've already apologized to you! What else do you want?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a cold light flashed before his eyes, frightening Pei Jinshu so much that he quickly retracted his finger, "You, you guys! You are really going too far!"

If she was slower, her fingers would be in danger!
Yun Feng suddenly appeared out of nowhere, silently putting away the sword he had swung, "No one is allowed to be rude to the young lady!"

The corners of Mu Nanyue's lips curled up slightly, her expression was still lazy, her long legs were casually crossed, and her dark eyes were full of amusement as if she was watching a play.

Pei Jinshu: “…”

I want to beat her, but I can't!
"No wonder he is so arrogant, it turns out he has a loyal dog by his side!" Pei Jinshu still insisted and stepped back subconsciously.

She glanced at Mu Nanyue coldly and clenched her teeth: "We'll see!"

Seeing that Yun Feng was about to draw his sword again, Pei Jinshu turned around and ran, fleeing in a panic.

I want to tell my parents woooooooo...

Until Pei Jinshu's figure disappeared, Mu Nanyue retracted her gaze and said casually in a faint tone: "Just scare her, but don't really hurt her."

Yun Feng nodded, bowed and responded: "Yes, I know my limits."

Mu Nanyue stood up and put away the black wooden box without looking at what was inside.

"Where is the Great Elder?"

Yun Feng: "The study in the South Building."

……

South Building.

"Why is the young lady here?" In the brightly lit study, a young man in a blue shirt was handsome and had a fake smile on his face.

"Great Elder." Ignoring his expression, Mu Nanyue called out respectfully and sat down opposite him without waiting for a response.

Great Elder: "..."

Polite, but not much.

He smiled and said, "What's the matter, young lady?"

"I came to see the Great Elder to discuss with you about the quota for the secret realm." Mu Nanyue said bluntly without any polite words: "I want to select someone from the side branch of the Mu family."

After these words came out, the Great Elder was obviously stunned, and his eyes flashed with a shrewd light, "The eldest lady and I have the same idea."

He handed over a notebook. Mu Nanyue took it and flipped through it casually, and found that it recorded the detailed information of the younger generations of the Mu family's side branches.

There are their level of cultivation, spiritual roots, personality, family relationships, etc.

Seeing that Mu Nanyue's expression had become serious and she had turned to the last page, the elder asked tentatively: "Who does Miss like?"

Mu Nanyue frowned. "I remember that among the younger generations of the Mu family branch in Lingzhu City, there is a little girl whose spiritual root is a mutated wind element. Her name seems to be Mu Shuyi?"

The Great Elder nodded: "Yes, but Mu Shuyi went out for training a month ago and disappeared. There has been no news since then."

There is such a thing? No wonder Mu Shuyi was not recorded in the notebook.

"She must still be alive!" Mu Nanyue said firmly, a pair of lively almond eyes flashing repeatedly in her mind.

In her previous life, Mu Shuyi stayed with her until the end, so it was impossible for something to happen to her so early.

Unless she's been through it before and got through it on her own.

Mu Nanyue's heart gradually sank, and she felt a little dull and painful. She didn't dare to think that the little sun who protected her shortcomings in her previous life had also suffered from all kinds of calculations.

This time, it's her turn to protect her.
