Was this a command?
The envoys split up. After a while, a team of them arrived at the restaurant where the Mu Palace was. The person in the lead said loudly, "Fourth Prince has ordered for Princess Mu to appear and receive the order."
This voice instantly resounded inside and outside the restaurant. Countless people around heard it and looked at the emissaries. Their faces showed a bit of excitement, not knowing what order Fourth Prince would give.
Moments later, Mu Jinyu led the Mu King's men out of the restaurant. Mu Jinyu looked at the messenger in front and said, "I wonder what will Fourth Prince order us to do?"
"Send Fourth Prince's order for the Mu palace to return to the base immediately and gather the palace's elites. We will head to the Four Divisions City on our own within two days, no delays are allowed." The Envoy looked at Mu Jinyu and continued to ask, "Is there anything that Princess Mu doesn't understand?"
"The Mu Clan's Palace shall obey the decree." Mu Jinyu lightly nodded her head. She naturally knew the meaning behind this decree.
The Four Symbols City was the city where the Dao was buried.
"Why are we going to Four Divisions City?" The surrounding people all revealed a puzzled expression. The news of the Dao Burial Grounds was extremely secretive. Other than a few core members of the forces, the majority of them did not know about this.
After giving out the orders, the messengers left the restaurant.
Mu Jinyu turned around and looked at the people around her. "Everyone, prepare yourselves and return to Mu City in a moment."
"Yes." The crowd nodded in agreement.
"I have something to do, I'll be right back." Qin Xuan transmitted his voice to Mu Jinyu before leaving.
Mu Jinyu wanted to say something, but she decided against it as she watched Qin Xuan leave.
Bai Qiu watched the entire scene with a cold glint in his eyes. He took a step forward to Mu Jinyu's side and said in a low voice, "The young miss is so lenient towards him, but he doesn't seem to place the young miss in his eyes."
Mu Jinyu's eyes narrowed as she heard this. She turned her head to look at Bai Qiu and said, "He has contributed to the Mu palace, so why not be a bit more lenient with him?"
"But Miss's tolerance is a bit too much." Bai Qiu seemed to be unconvinced as he continued, "This person is a pampered and prideful person. To ignore the orders of the young mistress and leave in public, how can the young mistress tolerate such impudence?"
Mu Jinyu stared at White Autumn. She said in a calm voice, "I can."
"I can."
Bai Qiu's heart trembled when he heard the voice. His gaze stiffened as a hint of grief flashed in his heart.
From Mu Jinyu's eyes, he could see that she was willing to turn back no matter what Qin Xuan did.
How long had Qin Xuan been here? Was his position in her heart already this high?
"Why?" Was it because his talent was outstanding?
But before Qin Xuan had displayed his talent, Mu Jinyu had treated him very special. She had even sent Yan Zheng to investigate him secretly, how could this be explained?
"Although he is a maverick, at the very least, he will not go against my wishes." Mu Jinyu looked at Autumn Snow as she spoke, causing Autumn Snow to be stunned once again. He knew what Mu Jinyu was referring to.
At the Terminator Mountain Range, he had the intention to kill Qin Xuan, and Mu Jinyu's meaning was that he should not harm Qin Xuan's life.
In fact, Mu Jinyu was very clear that Qin Xuan wasn't loyal to her, and many things were hidden from her. But for some reason, she trusted him and was willing to let go of him to do what she wanted.
However, she was unable to do so with regards to Bai Qiu.
Perhaps this was the difference between people, and it was hard to explain.
"Do your duty well. I can let bygones be bygones. If your performance is not bad, I will find an opportunity to recommend you to my Royal Father." Mu Jinyu spoke again. She was vaguely aware of the intentions that Bai Qiu had towards her, but this was something that was destined to be impossible. She would not give him any hope.
Upon hearing these words, Bai Qiu's gaze suddenly froze, as if she had understood something.
Was there no place for him by her side now?
For Qin Xuan, Ye Zichen kicked him away.
Bai Qiu felt it was laughable, but still clasped his hands and said, "Thank you, Miss, for your appreciation."
Mu Jinyu lightly nodded her head, and then turned to leave. However, she didn't see that after she turned around, Autumn Snow slowly raised her head. Her originally handsome face was now twisted, and her eyes contained a strong killing intent.
A figure slowly walked over from outside the Star Point Pavilion. It was naturally Qin Xuan.
The guards at the entrance recognized him at a glance, and their expressions immediately became respectful. They already knew about what happened in the conference hall a few days ago, and now there were three more vice presidents of the Star Pavilion, Pavilion Master, and this young man was one of them.
"We pay our respects to Vice President Pavilion Master!" Upon seeing Qin Xuan walk in, everyone immediately bowed as they shouted out.
Qin Xuan was stunned after hearing what they said. It seemed that he was not used to this new identity. He casually waved his hand and said, "No need to be so polite, take me to see Pavilion Master."
"Yes." The few of them did not dare to hesitate at all and immediately led Qin Xuan away. Not long after, they brought him to Tantai Huayan.
When Tantai Hua saw Qin Xuan's arrival, he was surprised. This boy's courage was not small. However, after thinking about his extraordinary performance in the Large Competition, he felt relieved.
"Pavilion Master should still remember the promise from before." Qin Xuan said to Tantai Hua.
"Of course not. Since I've already promised, how could I go back on my words?" A hint of a smile appeared on Tantai Hua's face. Compared to the powerful figure in the hall that day, he seemed like a completely different person.
After that day, Tantai Hua sent people to investigate Qin Xuan's situation. Indeed, it was as Jiang Tianxing had said. Qin Xuan and Princess Mu were very close, so Princess Mu's attitude towards him was completely different from that towards his other subordinates.
After knowing this, he naturally couldn't have any other thoughts towards Qin Xuan.
"What brings you here today?" Tantai Huayan looked at Qin Xuan and asked.
"I'm leaving Nine Heavens City, bring some people with me." Qin Xuan replied.
"Leave Nine Heavens City?" The expression on Tantai Hua's face froze for a moment, as if he had realized something. They had come to the Nine Heavens City to participate in the Large Competition, and now that the Large Competition was over, they should be returning to Mu City.
"How many people will you be bringing? What cultivation level will you have?" Tantai Huayuan asked straightforwardly. Since Qin Xuan was now the Vice Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets, he naturally had the right to do so.
Qin Xuan thought for a moment and said, "Five people is enough. There aren't many requests for cultivation level, but there has to be at least one Emperor level character. Isn't this a bit too much?"
"Not at all." Tantai Hua nodded and said, "I'll arrange things so that you can leave when you leave."
"Now." Qin Xuan said.
"It's that urgent?" Tantai Hua frowned slightly. He suddenly thought of a person and said in a clear voice, "Men, summon Ling Song to see me."
A moment later, a figure arrived beside Qin Xuan and Tantai Hua. This person was Ling Song. A few days ago, he was just Pavilion Master, but now, he had been demoted to his position.
When Ling Song saw Qin Xuan and Tantai Hua standing together, a trace of doubt appeared in his eyes. Why did Qin Xuan come here?
"Pavilion Master." Ling Song cupped his fist and said to Tantai Hua. Seeing Qin Xuan looking at him, he hesitated for a moment. In the end, he braced himself and said, "Vice General Pavilion Master."
"Ling Song, Pavilion Master needs some people to accompany him. After that, you will follow beside him and look for the other four High Rank of Monarch Stage practitioners." Tantai Hua instructed Ling Song before shifting his gaze to Qin Xuan and said, "Ling Song is the cultivation of the Great Emperor. He used to be Pavilion Master. You can be assured of his strength."
"Sure." Qin Xuan nodded.
Hearing Tantai Hua's words, Ling Song's expression froze. He did not have the time to react.
Asking a great Emperor to follow an Emperor level character, is this not a joke?
