Chapter 2062: Chapter 2062: Furious Ambush! Wang Qingxue’s Apology! Parting Ways!
Mu Jinyu and Wang Qingxue disembarked from the Underworld Ghost Ship together and finally stood firmly on the ground, feeling a sense of relief.
This feeling of relief, even the Underworld Ghost Ship had not brought while it sailed safely through the Forbidden Dead Sea.
This is the peace of mind that comes from being on solid ground.
After exchanging a few words with Wang Qingxue, Mu Jinyu prepared to put away the Underworld Ghost Ship.
Then, the two would part ways.
Of course, they might not part immediately.
After all, Mu Jinyu was new to the Central Domain and didn’t know the roads; he still needed to ask Wang Qingxue for information to see which areas were occupied by top-grade foreign races and were off-limits to others, or else they would be killed without mercy if they entered.
In the Central Domain, he must be extra cautious, or he might encounter unexpected incidents.
And just as Mu Jinyu was about to put away the Underworld Ghost Ship.
He suddenly heard an angry shout from behind.
"Hmm?!"
Mu Jinyu’s actions halted immediately, sensing a tremendous killing intent surging toward him; he promptly stopped trying to retrieve the Underworld Ghost Ship and quickly dodged to the side!
"Boom boom boom!!"
"Sizzle sizzle!!"
As soon as he dodged to the side, he saw the spot where he had just been standing being bombarded by terrifying and concentrated energy.
The ground instantly vanished several zhang in height, leaving a deep pit at the original location.
"Hmm?!"
Seeing this scene, Mu Jinyu’s pupils involuntarily contracted.
What a terrifying attack.
If he hadn’t been alert in advance and got hit by such an attack, he would have surely died!
Perhaps Ming intervening in time and using the Three Life Stone to defend might have let him escape unscathed!
"Still trying to run?!"
"Die!!"
At this point, upon seeing Mu Jinyu dodge their assault, the group shouted angrily, still intending to continue their assault on him!
Standing aside, Wang Qingxue quickly reacted after her initial shock.
Seeing that they still intended to harm Mu Jinyu, she urgently shouted to the group: "Stop it, Uncle Dong, Uncle Ding, stop it! He’s not an enemy!"
Upon hearing Wang Qingxue’s urgent shout, Uncle Dong and Uncle Ding exchanged glances, deciding to ignore the young lady’s orders and finish off Mu Jinyu first.
"If you dare to act recklessly again, believe that I’ll report back to my mother and make sure you can’t walk away from this!"
Eventually, hearing Wang Qingxue’s threatening command, the group had no choice but to reluctantly stop, casting a resentful glance at Mu Jinyu.
Afterwards, they explained to Wang Qingxue: "Miss, we’re sorry, we thought this kid was going to harm you and was trying to steal your Underworld Ghost Ship, so we acted to protect your safety!"
Mu Jinyu dodged to the side and, seeing this group stopping and no longer attacking him, felt immensely furious and shocked.
No one would be in a good mood after being inexplicably attacked by others!
Listening to their conversation with Wang Qingxue, Mu Jinyu secretly frowned.
Did Wang Qingxue notify them to come over beforehand?
Was it really as he previously guessed, that Wang Qingxue coveted his Underworld Ghost Ship and God Slaying Cannon, and deliberately acted this way?
But if that’s the case, why did she suddenly stop them just now?
Wouldn’t continuing the attack be better?
Or does she have some other purpose in mind, trying to continue earning his trust?
Thoughts racing through Mu Jinyu’s mind, he dared not act rashly, intending to escape from here.
After all, judging from their cultivation, Mu Jinyu could tell that they were definitely not in the Chrono Light Realm, but stronger.
It should be above the Chrono Light Realm in cultivation.
He wasn’t sure what this realm was called yet.
But it was definitely not to be provoked, and he wasn’t confident that he could escape from their grasp abruptly!
Wang Qingxue, upon hearing their explanation, wasn’t sure if they genuinely thought this way.
But she couldn’t maliciously doubt them either, as they had watched her grow up and genuinely cared about her safety.
Then, she solemnly explained to them: "Firstly, he’s my friend and won’t harm me, and secondly, this Underworld Ghost Ship isn’t mine, it’s his, so don’t misunderstand!"
"Hmm?!"
Hearing Wang Qingxue’s explanation, Uncle Dong and Uncle Ding couldn’t help but frown and had a slight change in expression.
In their speculation, they thought this Underworld Ghost Ship was likely Wang Qingxue’s, but they also had another suspicion in mind.
That the ship actually belonged to Mu Jinyu.
They had subconsciously refused to make this assumption.
But unexpectedly, the ship really was Mu Jinyu’s!
This made them feel quite uncomfortable!
However, being just a little guy at the First Layer of the Life-and-Death Realm...
So what if it’s his?
Can he really keep the Underworld Ghost Ship safe?
Thinking this, they exchanged glances, revealing a faint, undetectable smirk.
Wang Qingxue didn’t notice this detail and, after disclosing the truth to them, was also aware of the grievances Mu Jinyu had suffered.
Despite saving her all the way here, he ended up being harassed and attacked by her subordinates, almost causing an incident.
If it were her, she’d probably be driven mad with anger too.
So she quickly explained to Mu Jinyu: "I’m sorry, Jinyu, I didn’t expect things to turn out like this..."
"I was worried something unexpected might happen when we returned to the Central Domain, so I informed a few uncles of mine in advance to come and escort us!"
"But they misunderstood and acted against you like this. Are you very upset? I’ll have them apologize to you, and I’ll apologize to you too, I’m sorry!"
Saying this, Wang Qingxue bowed in apology to Mu Jinyu.
Then, she urged Uncle Ding and Uncle Dong to apologize to Mu Jinyu as well.
Uncle Ding and Uncle Dong felt extremely displeased hearing Wang Qingxue’s words!
What was their status?
What was their cultivation level?
It was just a misunderstanding, they didn’t actually kill Mu Jinyu, nor did they even injure him, so why should they apologize to this little guy from the Life-and-Death Realm?
Yet, under Wang Qingxue’s firm request, they eventually had no choice but to reluctantly bow their heads and apologize to Mu Jinyu.
Mu Jinyu watched as they apologized to him, standing far away, looking at Wang Qingxue with eyes full of deep meaning, speculating about her true motives.
Is that really how it is!
But after glancing at her several times, Mu Jinyu couldn’t decipher her true intentions and could only respond, "Yes, it’s just a misunderstanding, then let’s part ways here!"
With that, he went to put away the Underworld Ghost Ship again.
All the while keeping a close watch on their movements.
If they intended to attack again, he’d immediately board the Underworld Ghost Ship and launch that Demonic Sound attack on them.
But he noticed that, as his actions unfolded, although Uncle Ding and Uncle Dong’s facial muscles twitched a bit unwillingly, they indeed didn’t make a move.
Thus, Mu Jinyu smoothly stored the Underworld Ghost Ship into the Qiankun Ring.
Then, Mu Jinyu prepared to say farewell to Wang Qingxue, planning to go separate ways from her.
Wang Qingxue looked slightly reluctant, trying to persuade him once more, saying it was still quite dangerous here, perhaps they should part ways after leaving this place?
Mu Jinyu declined.
Subsequently, keeping a vigilant eye on these people, he headed off in one direction.
Seeing the direction Mu Jinyu left in, Uncle Dong and Uncle Ding exchanged a secret glance, their eyes sinister, and then the corners of their mouths curled into a smirk.
