<h4>Chapter 1293: Chapter 1290: You Don’t Seriously Think I’m an Idiot, Do You?</h4>


    Then Xu Wendong followed the woman in front of him into the grand ancient city on Bi Quan Ling Ind.


    The city walls were shrouded by a powerful formation.


    Even Xu Wendong couldn’t tell the level of this formation in a short time.


    After entering the city, Xu Wendong respectfully bowed to the woman in the ck dress: "Senior, there is something I don’t understand."


    "I don’t have any rtives on Bi Quan Ling Ind, so what do you mean by my rtives in the Mu Family?"


    The woman turned her head with a smile: "My name is Mu Yu, and I am the butler of the Mu Family."


    So she wasn’t Mu Wanqiu!


    A sense of disappointment rose in Xu Wendong’s heart.


    Mu Yu continued: "You indeed are not rted to the Mu Family, but saying so was just to reduce your expenses."


    Xu Wendong looked confused: "Then why did senior want me to impersonate a rtive of the Mu Family?"


    Mu Yu asked: "Are you from Baishi Ind?"


    Xu Wendong instinctively nodded, then looked at Mu Yu with a guarded expression: "How did senior know I am from Baishi Ind?"


    Mu Yu smiled and said: "Most cultivators whoe to Bi Quan Ling Ind are from Baishi Ind."


    "Of course, the reason I sought you out is that I received orders from our Mu Family n Chief."


    "Let’s not talk about this now, once you return to the Mu Family, you’ll naturally understand why."


    "In any case, it’s of no harm to you."


    Xu Wendong showed a bewildered expression but still followed the other to the Mu Family.


    As one of the Three Great Families on Bi Quan Ling Ind, the Mu Family upies vast territory, imposing and grand, resembling the imperial pce on Earth from afar.


    The entrance was also heavily guarded that even the guards had the strength of a First-Level Scatter Immortal.


    "n Chief, he has arrived!"


    Upon entering the reception hall, Mu Yu respectfully spoke to a figure dressed in a green long skirt.


    Xu Wendong looked up.


    He saw her exquisite features, of peerless grace, her green long skirt outlining a graceful silhouette.


    Her deep eyes were full of lively light, giving an inexplicable sense of goodwill at a nce.


    Her elegance was unparalleled, like a celestial being, radiating an ethereal immortal energy.


    "Junior Xu Wendong, greets Senior." Xu Wendong bowed respectfully, honestly, Mu Wanqiu’s appearance was much more stunning than he imagined.


    Especially her aura, which made him feel an attraction.


    Mu Wanqiu curiously nced at Xu Wendong, her voice gentle: "Dare I ask, Young Master Xu, have you interacted with Lei Nanxiang from Baishi Ind?"


    Xu Wendong was taken aback: "How did senior know of this?"


    Mu Wanqiu showed a charming curve on her lips: "I’ve known Lei Nanxiang for ten thousand years, I am all too familiar with her power of thunder."


    Xu Wendong instinctively swallowed, his eyes full of shock: "So, senior sensed the power of thunder in me when I approached Bi Quan Ling Ind?"


    Mu Wanqiu nodded.


    Xu Wendong panicked: "Does senior wish to kill me?" At this, he instinctively stepped back, appearing very uneasy.


    Mu Wanqiu said: "Young Master Xu doesn’t need to be nervous. Although I’ve known Lei Nanxiang for ten thousand years, our rtionship isn’t what you imagine."


    "Tell me about your story with Lei Nanxiang."


    "Perhaps, I can even help you get an exnation."


    Xu Wendong forced down his panic: "Senior, I am an alchemist. After arriving at Baishi Ind, I was fortunate to be an honored contributor to the Lei n, aiding them in refining elixirs."


    "Only then did I discover that the Lei n sought contributors not for elixir refinement but to find a doctor for their n leader."


    Mu Wanqiu slightly nodded, having known Lei Nanxiang for millennia, she was aware of her rare illness.


    Even after Lei Nanxiang failed her tribtion and reconstructed her physical body, the illness hadn’t healed.


    Xu Wendong continued: "After learning of the Lei n Leader’s rare illness, I volunteered to help cure the n leader."


    "But..." At this, he showed an expression of humiliation, like an aggrieved young widow.


    Mu Wanqiu curiously asked: "But what?"


    Xu Wendong clenched his fists, gritting his teeth: "Although I cured the Lei n Leader’s illness, she was ungrateful and wanted me in dual cultivation to make me her male pet."


    He wore an expression of resentment: "Despite my low cultivation level, I dream of bing immortal and naturally refused to be her male pet."


    "This act enraged that ungrateful woman, Lei Nanxiang, who unleashed her power of thunder to severely wound me, urging me to reconsider her proposal."


    "If I were to refuse, she would im my life."


    "Knowing continuing to stay on Baishi Ind would surely lead to my demise, I fled by night to seek a glimmer of hope in the Chaotic Star Sea."


    Mu Wanqiu suspiciously asked: "You cured Lei Nanxiang’s illness?"


    Xu Wendong: "Yes, Lei Nanxiang’s ailment was special, one could consider it a ’craving for spring’ illness."


    "It seemed, just as I said, that woman indeed suffers from a ’craving for spring’ illness!" Mu Wanqiuughed, her smile making one feel like springtime.


    "Wait a minute!" Mu Yu sized up Xu Wendong and couldn’t help but say: "Lei Nanxiang, possessing the power of a Third-Level Hermit Immortal, has formidable strength sufficient to overshadow everyone on Baishi Ind."


    "Yet, with only the Mahayana realm cultivation level, why did you reject bing Lei Nanxiang’s man?"


    "Surely you’re aware of the benefits from being Lei Nanxiang’s man."


    Xu Wendong restrained his anger: "Senior, while you speak reasonably, not all men are obsequious, willing to abandon dignity for gain. At least, I, Xu Wendong, am not one to degrade myself."


    "So please do not use petty assumptions to judge a noble character!"


    Mu Yu chuckled lightly: "Dignity?"


    "Ha!"


    "You are truly naive. In this world, is there truly dignity?"


    "It’s merely the fa?ade of the strong."


    "Do not be rude." Mu Wanqiu’s displeased gaze at Mu Yu made her lower her head, nervous.


    Mu Wanqiu then looked at Xu Wendong and said: "Young Master Xu, having principles and boundaries is admirable, yet there’s one thing I find puzzling."


    "Lei Nanxiang holds the power of a Third-Level Hermit Immortal, while you are only at the Mahayana realm. How did you withstand her power of thunder and survive?"


    Mu Yu also lifted her head. Indeed, a Mahayana period cultivator shouldn’t withstand a Third-Level Hermit Immortal’s attack.


    Even a casual strike would lead to his demise.


    Xu Wendong said: "To be honest, senior, I’ve also cultivated the Thunder Law, which allows me to offset some of the damage from the power of thunder."


    Mu Wanqiu sneered: "You don’t take me for a fool, do you?"
