Chu Nian, along with her two maidservants, left through the back door, without alerting anyone.
Not long after they left, Mu Qingge also dropped a small piece of Divine Jade and walked out of the Immortal Dew Pavilion with Yin Chen, continuing to wander around Wuhua City.
"Qingge, weren’t you planning to find a chance to meet the Princess of Wuhua Domain?" Yin Chen asked.
Mu Qingge slowly shook her head with a smile and said, "Suddenly, I don’t feel like it."
Hmm?
Yin Chen was puzzled.
Mu Qingge said, "Earlier, I overcomplicated things. To investigate the hidden and treasure spots in the Wuhua Palace, I don’t necessarily need to obtain anything from Princess Chu Nian."
Yin Chen’s blood-red eyes looked at her, waiting for her next words.
"After entering Wuhua Palace, I can directly ask the God Emperor," Mu Qingge said playfully, looking at him.
Yin Chen froze, standing still.
Wait!
What did the master just say? Did he hear it right?
Ask the Wuhua God Emperor?
By the time Yin Chen came back to his senses, Mu Qingge had already walked far away.
...
On the other side, Mu Tianyin and Mu Lin returned to the residence they had occupied. Mu Lin was holding some birthday gifts.
These items were bought on their way back. What puzzled Mu Lin was that such matters never concerned Mu Tianyin, yet this time he picked them himself.
Moreover, attending the birthday banquet was originally just an excuse to enter the Wuhua Palace. Preparing gifts that looked decent on the surface was enough, without spending too much money.
However, Mu Tianyin was selecting only valuable items, as if genuinely intending to honor the Wuhua God Emperor.
How could this be?!
The Wuhua God Emperor was one of the accomplices in the destruction of the Mu Clan ten thousand years ago.
Mu Lin didn’t understand Mu Tianyin’s actions.
But he dared not ask.
Recently, although Mu Tianyin hadn’t confined himself to the headquarters, his temperament had become more unpredictable, making others cautious about provoking him.
In the residence, the three who had separated from Mu Tianyin and Mu Lin earlier had returned.
One was Mu Shan, a close acquaintance of Mu Lin, and the other two were also warriors from the clan. Upon seeing Mu Tianyin and Mu Lin return, Mu Shan immediately stepped forward to pay respects to Mu Tianyin.
"Young Master!"
"Young Master!"
Mu Shan and the other two knelt on one knee in front of Mu Tianyin.
Their attitude made Mu Tianyin’s brows rise with pride. "How did the task go?"
Mu Tianyin’s words made Mu Shan raise his head and look at him, saying, "Already accomplished." Then he took out a thin, golden shimmering sheet from his chest.
It bore flowing light inscriptions and the mark of Wuhua Palace.
He held the invitation with both hands and presented it to Mu Tianyin.
Mu Tianyin’s eyes fell upon it, his fierce gaze finally showing a hint of delight.
With what Mu Shan held, he could enter Wuhua Palace openly.
"Young Master, to be on the safe side, we also obtained this group’s Identity Tokens." Mu Shan concluded, taking out several Identity Tokens as well.
Seeing this, Mu Tianyin’s eyes grew even more joyful.
A subtle, ambiguous smile appeared at the corner of his mouth as he nodded and said to Mu Shan, "You did well."
"Thank you, Young Master." Mu Shan quickly lowered his gaze, showing respect.
"For the next few days, rest here. When the day of the birthday banquet comes, we’ll go to Wuhua Palace together." Mu Tianyin finished speaking, stepping towards the room.
After watching him leave, Mu Shan finally stood up, his eyes falling on the birthday gifts in Mu Lin’s hand.
The other two sensibly stepped away, leaving the two of them alone.
Mu Lin glanced at Mu Shan, sighed, and shook his head.
"Why are we staying here?" Mu Shan asked. As he followed the marks left by Mu Lin along the way, he was filled with doubts.
Mu Lin asked, "What about those people?" Naturally referring to the ones from whom the birthday banquet invitation had been stolen.
Mu Shan said, "They belong to an insignificant faction. They somehow obtained an invitation to Wuhua God Emperor’s birthday banquet, apparently planning to curry favor. Although their invitation cannot get close to Wuhua God Emperor, we only need an opportunity to enter. Being inconspicuous is best for us and facilitates our actions. So, I decided to target them, and as for their people, I used well-prepared sedatives to put them under, temporarily trapping them in a secret place. By the time they wake up, the Wuhua God Emperor’s birthday banquet will likely have ended long ago."
