Chapter 971 - Return Part 2
'How can I not understand that this girl was saying I should accept these gifts without guilt?'
With her heart filled with gratitude, she said, "Lady Mu, I understand. I will be able to help much more people that needs my help when I have sufficient might. I can also use my might for my loyalty and devotion to Hua Xia!"
Mu Ru Yue tossed a jade bottle to Hong Ying after Hong Ying said that. Hong Ying raised her hand to catch the jade bottle. She looked at the flawless figure standing before the mountain door entrance with reverence and respect.
'I had heard about Mu Ru Yue's name since ages ago. Currently, my idol is so close to me and even gave me her pills, making me even more excited…'
"Hao Tian," Mu Ru Yue raised her head as she continued with a smile, "Please help me to entertain the guests."
"Elder sister, don't worry. Your guests are my guests. I will entertain them to the best of my ability for you." Mu Hao Tian smiled. He had a great impression for the heroic and straight forward Hong Ying.
'If it was others, they would have already kept those pills. But she was able to resist against that temptation…
'With that point, she is different from those greedy people…'
"Mother!" Ye Si Huang paused for a moment before he looked at Hong Tian Qi and the rest's pale faces while smiling from ear to ear as he continued, "Huang Er don't feel like continuing to see these people that had previously bullied Huang Er. Can we do something about that?"
Hong Tian Qi's expression changed as he hastily looked at Mu Ru Yue and said, "Lady Mu, I…"
"Hao Tian, who are they?" Mu Ru Yue frowned slightly as she swept a cold glance at the people of the Hong family.
Mu Hao Tian raised his eyebrows as he replied, "They seem to be people of the Hong family."
"Hong family? Did we invite them?"
"No."
Mu Hao Tian shook his head with certainty.
'The Hong family is too weak so they aren't eligible to be invited…'
"Since they aren't invited…" Mu Ru Yue paused for a moment before she continued, "There's no need to let them into the Mu family's manor. Wu Chen, what do you say?"
Ye Wu Chen had been quietly standing by Mu Ru Yue's side since the beginning. He smiled slightly upon hearing Mu Ru Yue's question and used his charming smile to say, "You can make the decision. Our Zi family will listen to whatever you decide…"
"Let's go then."
Mu Ru Yue held onto Ye Si Huang's hand as she entered the large doors, no longer looking at the paled face Hong family's brother and sister.
"Hong Ying."
Hong Tian Qi no longer cared about anything as he grabbed onto Hong Ying's hand as he pleaded sincerely, "Lady Mu seems to have a great impression for you. Please help beg mercy for me. We need to attend the wedding no matter what. Now, you are the final hope for the Hong family. You shouldn't forget favors and violate justice!"
'The Hong family had almost used up all of their wealth in order to get the invitation card. If Father knows that we were unable to enter the manor, he will unquestionably beat me up to within an inch of my life.'
Hong Ying expressionlessly withdrew her hand from his grip as she refused coldly, "My apologies but Lady Mu had allowed me to attend her wedding due to me helping her son. I'm afraid you are barking up the wrong tree if you want me to beg her for mercy on your behalf. I don't have the capability to do that. Moreover, you have not done any favors for me so how can I forget favors and violate justice? Hong Tian Qi, what you said was really hilarious!"
"You…" Hong Tian Qi's expression changed drastically as he chided, "Are you just going to watch us die? Hong Ying, don't forget that you have the Hong family's bloodline running in your body. The Hong family had given you life and nurtured you. How can you treat our Hong family so heartlessly? We really shouldn't have given life to you, a cold and ruthless ingrate!"
"You…" Hong Ying's expression turned ashen. Scorching flames of fury blazed in her eyes. But she was even more disappointed…
Chapter 972 - Return Part 3
Mu Hao Tian could no longer continue watching but just as he wanted to say something, the girl before him had already regained her composure. She said indifferently but distant, "The Hong family indeed had given life to me but they had never nurtured me! I was chased out from the Hong family since young, forced to survive in the harsh outside world on my own.
" Since people of the Hong family had never helped me, why should I sympathise them? Hong Tian Qi, what else other than the bloodline of the Hong family that is running through my blood had the Hong family ever done for me? Why should I feel the need to be loyal to such a family?"
Hong Tian Qi's body trembled from his anger as he pointed at Hong Ying, speechless. With his face turned ashen and distorted, he said, "Hong Ying, you are repaying gratitude with vengeance. You will regret doing this!"
Mu Hao Tian's expression turned grim as he ordered coldly, "Why are you all just standing there? Chase him out from here. Moreover, you are to blacklist the Hong family from entering the Mu family's manor forever!"
"Understood, young master!"
The two guards that were silently standing behind the Mu family's subordinates instantly walked briskly toward Hong Tian Qi. They gripped onto his collar and tossed him away from the entrance, looking at the people of the Hong family like fiends.
"Quickly scram!"
Hong Tian Qi glared furiously at Hong Ying but he knew he shouldn't pick a fight at the entrance of the Mu family's manor. Thus, he suppressed his heartfelt anger, leading the people of the Hong family away in defeat…
"Lady Hong," Mu Hao Tian looked at Hong Ying and with a youthful smile on his handsome face, he said, "Don't worry. Since you are an esteem guest of my Mu family, we definitely won't let anyone bully you. Let's go. My elder sister and brother-in-law's wedding has already begun. We will be too late if we don't head in now."
Hong Ying nodded, distracted, as she replied, "I will have to thank Mister Mu for your help then."
Mu Hao Tian no longer said further as he expressed a 'please go ahead' gesture, leading Hong Ying to enter the Mu family's manor…
"Everyone, I give you a warm welcome for coming to attend my granddaughter's wedding."
Mu Zheng's voice was drenched with excitement in the banquet within the courtyard as he continued, "Our Mu family will be giving each and everyone of you that had come to attend this wedding a gift. The gift shall be a precious Essence Purification Pill. The pill will enable the consumer to have their body purified and have a change in their mortal bones, awakening their martial practitioner's potential…"
Swish!
The crowd was momentarily stirred up as they started at the elder's excited elderly face.
There were even more fewer alchemists in the Ancient Martial World in Hua Xia as compared to the otherworldly continent so there wasn't even such a pill as Essence Purification Pill in Hua Xia. Hence, everyone was completely stirred up when they heard about that…
But this had also stabilized the Mu family's position in Hua Xia. Who called their family to possess such an outstanding Granddaughter…
"I will let someone deliver the gift to you in a bit. Now, may everyone take their seats!"
Mu Zheng was extremely happy as he said that, his face was glowing.
Everyone took their seats at that moment. But they were stunned when they saw the medicinal plant placed on the table.
"I-is… this the legendary Snow Lotus Flower?"
"Oh wow! There is even a ten-thousand-year old Ginseng. The Mu family is too wealthy!"
Everyone gasped deeply as they looked at Mu Zheng in shock…
But what was really shocking was next…
When all of them were shocked by the Mu family's possession, there was a sudden change in the weather. The sky was covered with a layer of thick white clouds. Following that, a childish yet domineering voice was heard from up above those white clouds.
"I had finally reached this place. I wonder where Master is…"
That voice that sounded as youthful as a youth had sent a sudden slap of thunder to everyone's heart.
