Chapter 278: Chapter 278: The Self-Destructive Fool Has Arrived (Part 8)

A thick beard, deep-set eyes, a robust build, truly befitting the title of ’Barbarian King’. Accompanying him were other key members of the delegation, whose appearances differed somewhat from the Qin people, with broader frames and more rugged, deep-set features.

The Tu Country delegation all wore attire distinctively from Tu Country, which was also markedly different from Qin Country.

Qin Country favored flowing garments with wide sleeves, while Tu Country preferred form-fitting robes with tight sleeves. The embroidered totems on them were mysterious and intricate, carrying a national essence.

Helian Ba walked into the palace, his gaze sweeping towards the seats of the Mu Mansion.

However, Mu Qingge could feel that his gaze did not land on her grandfather but rather on her.

Mu Qingge lowered her eyes silently, picking up the teacup in front of her and sipping it lightly as if unaware. Yet in her heart, she thought: ’It seems grandfather was right, this old dog wants to cause me trouble.’

Raising her eyes, a cold glint flashed in the depths of her gaze. As she put down the teacup, a barely noticeable smile appeared on her lips.

As Helian Ba withdrew his gaze, Mu Qingge felt another cold stare sweeping towards her. She looked over and only caught a glimpse of Qin Jinxiu turning his face away.

Instantly, the smile on her lips became more pronounced.

It seems that tonight, there’s more than one person fixated on her.

Seeing his hesitation, Qin Jinxiu’s eyes darkened slightly and hurriedly said, "The Barbarian King need not worry. It was just a brief encounter when the Holy King passed through Qin Country last time, and he has not had any further contact with the Mu Mansion since. It seems after realizing Mu Qingge was nothing more than deadwood, he lost interest."

"But... you said she suddenly managed to cultivate... could this have something to do with the Holy King?" Helian Ba still felt somewhat anxious and hesitant.

"What’s the Barbarian King afraid of?" Qin Jinxiu frowned and said, "We’re competing fairly, not using any foul means. If Mu Qingge is not as skilled and dies on the spot, who can be blamed? Just think, with how many prodigies has the Holy King crossed paths, and how many worldly affairs has he encountered? Why would he pay any mind to a mere Mu Qingge? Likely, while you and I are anxious here, he has already forgotten about Mu Qingge."

"This..." Helian Ba seemed to be slowly convinced by Qin Jinxiu.

Seeing this, Qin Jinxiu added fuel to the fire, "My grudge with her is because she killed my beloved uncle. But overall, it’s merely family hatred. As for the Mu Family, to Tu Country, they represent national enmity. If the Barbarian King can return home after taking the life of Mu Xiong’s only grandson, you will immediately become a hero in the eyes of everyone in Tu Country, further enhancing your prestige."
