"You don’t seem like someone from the Wuhua Domain, so why bother about who I am?" Mu Qingge smiled slyly.
She kept the murderous intent towards Mu Tianyin deeply hidden because she knew it wasn’t the right moment to kill him yet.
Firstly, if a fight broke out here, the one to benefit would be the Wuhua God Emperor.
Secondly, she wanted to kill him using her true identity, with the Linglong Spear, and do it openly, rather than using a false face.
Mu Tianyin’s eyes narrowed, showing ferocity and a hint of killing intent.
When the killing intent surfaced in his eyes, Mu Qingge playfully reminded, "Sir, let me remind you. Before you act, think clearly. You can kill me to silence, but are you confident that you can finish me off with one strike? If you can’t kill me in one strike, I will surely counterattack for survival, and that will alert the maze guards. By then, neither you nor I will be able to leave here peacefully. The final outcome might attract the Wuhua God Emperor, and neither of us will escape!"
Her words gradually dispelled the killing intent in Mu Tianyin’s eyes. He snorted coldly, "You make some sense."
"Of course," Mu Qingge replied with a smile.
"But how do I know you won’t stand in my way?" Mu Tianyin’s voice took on a dangerous edge again.
Mu Qingge sneered inwardly, ’Of course, I’ll stand in your way. You’re here for what I’m here for. Should I let you have it?’
"What brings you here, sir?" Mu Qingge asked calmly.
Mu Tianyin’s expression darkened, his features tensing.
Mu Qingge remained relaxed and smiled; her ordinary face was enhanced by her smile, making it seem not so ordinary anymore. "Since you don’t wish to say, then forget it. I don’t know your purpose, and I don’t want to share mine with you either, so let’s just wish each other well and good luck."
"What if what I want happens to be what you want too?" Mu Tianyin pressed, unwilling to let her go easily.
If he could kill her directly, Mu Tianyin wouldn’t bother wasting words with this ordinary-looking woman. However, she was right; if a fight ensued, neither would benefit.
’This woman must possess some skill to break into the Nine Curves Maze at this moment. If she weren’t capable, she wouldn’t dare intrude into the Divine Emperor Palace of the Wuhua Domain. Seems like we’ll have to pretend not to see each other as she suggested,’ Mu Tianyin calculated internally.
"If that’s the case, then let’s see who gets there first." Mu Qingge continued to smile, appearing much more relaxed than Mu Tianyin’s grim demeanor.
Mu Tianyin’s eyes were fixed on her, seemingly trying to see through her.
After a moment, he squinted and sneered coldly, "Fine, then let’s see who’s faster. This time I’ll spare you; next time we meet outside, I will kill you."
With that, he stepped forward, chose a path, turned, and disappeared into the distance.
Watching him leave, Mu Qingge chuckled coldly to herself, thinking, ’Next time we meet, I will kill you, for Yuanyuan, Jiang Li, the Linglong Spear, and to avenge myself. All debts must be repaid in full with interest.’
Mu Tianyin left, but Mu Qingge remained standing there.
Earlier, when Mu Tianyin was among the crowd, she hadn’t noticed his right arm.
Just now, she clearly saw that right arm she had severed cleanly in the Cold Inch, burned to ashes, somehow reappearing on Mu Tianyin’s right shoulder.
No! That’s not right.
Mu Qingge recalled that when Mu Tianyin walked towards her, she could discern that the right arm was slightly larger than the left, appearing a bit awkward, and the fingers were hidden under a glove.
’A grafted arm!’ Mu Qingge’s eyes sparked as she arrived at the conclusion.
Mu Qingge squinted slightly; that arm emitted a brutal aura, as if it contained an uncontrollable violent power, demanding her attention.
Whose arm was it, and what kind of power did it hold?
Those questions swirled in Mu Qingge’s mind. She realized that upon meeting Mu Tianyin again, her heart could now remain calm.
The confrontation just now could have ended differently had she not maintained control.
This encounter with Mu Tianyin was just the beginning, not the end.
Mu Qingge remembered their previous agreement with Mu Tianyin. Compete to see who’s faster!
Confidence shone in her eyes as Mu Qingge turned and chose a path entirely different from Mu Tianyin’s.
While walking, Mu Qingge couldn’t help but wonder... If Mu Tianyin later discovered that the person he met in the Nine Curves Maze was her, would he rage enough to want to kill himself?
’Too foolish!’ Mu Qingge sighed internally.
However, Mu Tianyin managed to get here without alerting the forbidden techniques and guards, which surprised and intrigued her.
"Could it be that he also understands array formation restrictions?" Mu Qingge muttered to herself.
But she quickly dismissed the question.
At this moment, the focus wasn’t Mu Tianyin; it was about finding a way out of this Nine Curves Maze, entering the Little Leaf Pavilion, and verifying if the Fragmented Scripture from the Divine Strategy Lower Volume was indeed in the Wuhua Domain.
