"You’re back?" Sitting at the table, idly playing with a chess piece in her hand, Mu Qingge lifted her eyes to glance at the returning Yin Chen.
Yin Chen dipped his chin lightly and said to her, "I truthfully told the Divine Emperor and the Princess what I saw that day."
"Good." Mu Qingge tossed the chess piece in her hand accurately into the box, clapped the dust from her palms, picked up the untouched tea on the table, and took a light sip.
Yin Chen walked to the opposite side of her and sat down at Mu Qingge’s indication.
Yin Chen smiled and said, "According to what you said, they’ll be able to find clues very soon."
Mu Qingge nodded slightly and said to him, "Just wait. Tomorrow Chu Nian will come to me."
"But I’m worried—if that Mu Tianyin is driven into a corner, he might bite back at you instead." Yin Chen said with a furrowed brow.
Mu Qingge only shook her head with confidence. "They won’t be able to catch Mu Tianyin that easily. The remnant forces of the Mu Clan have been barely surviving in the Four Seas Divine Land for tens of thousands of years. I can’t speak to anything else, but at the very least, when it comes to running for their lives, they must have honed that skill to perfection. Especially considering Mu Tianyin’s status—how could he not have several life-preserving items on him? Otherwise, how would he have the nerve to break into the Divine Emperor Palace?"
"That makes sense." Yin Chen nodded and said.
"As long as their investigation leads to Mu Tianyin, the suspicion on you will be washed away." he added.
Mu Qingge’s lips curved into a faint smile, and she nodded. "We can’t kill him right now, so making him pay some interest first is fine. Anyway, he came here for the Divine Strategy Lower Volume to begin with, so I’m not wronging him."
"Then today..." Yin Chen asked for instructions.
Mu Qingge took a deep breath and said to Yin Chen, "Today we just stay here honestly and behave ourselves, that’s all."
Yin Chen nodded.
"The item..." He reminded Mu Qingge.
Mu Qingge, however, shook her head and said to him, "No rush for the moment. Once we leave this place, we’ll have plenty of time to study it slowly." In any case, since it could resonate with her, the authenticity of the item could be confirmed.
...
Chu Nian accompanied the Wuhua God Emperor back to the Divine Emperor Palace. She looked at her father. "The clues Yin Chen provided are crucial. Father, I’ll track them down as quickly as possible."
The Wuhua God Emperor nodded. Suddenly, he turned his gaze to Chu Nian, a faintly unreadable light flashing in his eyes. He asked, "Nian’er, have you fallen for that Mu Qingge?"
Chu Nian’s expression stalled for a moment, and she hurriedly argued, "No."
"If not, then why are you constantly shielding him?" The Wuhua God Emperor pressed on.
A hint of panic flickered in Chu Nian’s eyes. She forced herself to remain calm and said, "I just feel that he has nothing to do with the Mu Clan remnants."
"Why are you so certain?" the Wuhua God Emperor asked.
Chu Nian drew a deep breath and said to him, "First of all, we have absolutely no evidence pointing to him. Moreover, he is the little Divine Emperor personally appointed by the Huan Yue God Emperor. If his origins were dubious, or if he had anything to do with the Mu Clan, how could the Huan Yue God Emperor have set him up as little Divine Emperor?"
The Wuhua God Emperor’s gaze darkened as he looked at Chu Nian, and suddenly he said, "Nian’er, do you know what crime the Mu Clan was branded with? And why the Mu Clan remnants find it so hard to survive in the Four Seas Divine Land?"
"I know. Colluding with the Demon Clan." Chu Nian answered.
