Chapter 2069: Chapter 2069: Blocking the Way! A Near Miss! Madam Arrives!
Mu Jinyu looked at Uncle Ding and Uncle Dong, and saw their fake smiles trying to "keep" him, which made his heart sink.
These guys, back at the coastline, when faced with Wang Qingxue’s reprimand, did not dare to defy her.
But now, being closer to the Royal Mansion, they seem willing to ignore Wang Qingxue’s intentions and try to force him to stay.
"I’m sorry, I really have to go. I’ve already memorized the location of the Royal Mansion, and I’ll visit personally when I’m free and apologize. For now, I must leave..."
Mu Jinyu certainly did not want to stay and said reluctantly.
He immediately wanted to leave.
Wang Qingxue, upon seeing this, originally wished to ask Mu Jinyu to stay, but she could only swallow those words.
Then she intended to wish Mu Jinyu safety.
Yet, her words hadn’t even been spoken.
Uncle Dong and Uncle Ding immediately blocked Mu Jinyu’s path.
With false apologies, they said, "Sorry, little brother, since the lady has spoken, we dare not defy orders. Please, you must stay."
"If you have anything to say, tell us directly. We’ll handle it for you!"
"Yes, now what you need to do is stay and wait for the lady to arrive!"
"Indeed, little brother, don’t make things difficult for us!"
"..."
They spoke with a helpless expression.
Mu Jinyu looked at them coldly, saying, "Sorry, I really have urgent matters! Don’t block me!"
Upon seeing the tense atmosphere between them, Wang Qingxue immediately frowned and yelled, "What are you doing? Jinyu has urgent matters to attend to. Why are you blocking him?"
"Move aside quickly, let him go!"
Wang Qingxue shouted sternly.
However, faced with Wang Qingxue’s rebuke, Uncle Dong and the rest were not as afraid or obedient this time.
They looked at Wang Qingxue expressionlessly and said calmly, "Sorry, Miss, we can’t go against the lady’s orders!"
"Miss, rest assured, the lady just wants to meet her future son-in-law, so she is rushing here. She won’t harm Young Master Mu!"
Suddenly, Uncle Ding thought of something and said this.
Upon hearing Uncle Ding’s words, Wang Qingxue’s face instantly turned red, losing the authority she had just shown while berating them.
She shyly glanced at Mu Jinyu and then muttered, "What nonsense are you talking about? He is not any future son-in-law, don’t talk nonsense!"
Despite saying this, Wang Qingxue no longer had the previous determination to help Mu Jinyu leave.
She thought, if her mother indeed meant this.
To meet Mu Jinyu and was willing to make him her husband, it seemingly wouldn’t be bad...
Just not sure if it was truly her intention?
Wang Qingxue pondered wildly in her mind.
And seeing Wang Qingxue swayed by their words, Mu Jinyu couldn’t help but feel anxious silently.
If Wang Qingxue had firmly supported him, perhaps he’d have a chance to escape them.
But now, with Wang Qingxue becoming indecisive, how could he escape them?
He had to fight!
Mu Jinyu gritted his teeth, deciding to confront them.
After all, with Wang Qingxue present, if he fought them, they wouldn’t dare kill him.
If he fought them with all his might, perhaps there was a chance to carve out an escape.
"Ha!"
Just as Mu Jinyu prepared to attack them.
Uncle Dong and the rest’s eyes flashed with surprise.
And Wang Qingxue, observing this, nervously yelled at Mu Jinyu, "Don’t do it!!"
"Absolutely don’t do it!"
Worried that Mu Jinyu might not heed the first warning, Wang Qingxue solemnly added another reminder.
Upon hearing Wang Qingxue’s two reminders.
Mu Jinyu’s expression slightly changed, and he immediately decided to stop.
If Wang Qingxue had only said not to act, Mu Jinyu might not have taken it seriously.
Thinking she was speaking to Uncle Dong and the others, telling them not to harm him.
But the second solemn reminder was clearly directed at him.
Not fearing him harming Uncle Dong and the rest.
But...
Because of the rule here, forbidding unauthorized fighting.
If one were to fight, they’d likely be annihilated?!
Such rules exist in many places.
Like Zhenhai City, which also has it.
It’s just that the Zhenhai City Lord was subdued by him, so unauthorized fighting wasn’t an issue there.
But in the Central Domain, full of hidden talents, he couldn’t act recklessly!
Thus, after hearing Wang Qingxue’s warning, Mu Jinyu quickly halted.
Then, Mu Jinyu felt a cold gaze pass through the air.
Evidently, had he acted, the City Guard personnel would have mercilessly hunted him down!
Upon seeing Mu Jinyu stop, Uncle Dong and the rest revealed a hint of disappointment.
Fleeting.
Mu Jinyu felt a surge of fear!
These guys were truly sinister!
They had carefully prepared dual strategies!
Blocking his path, waiting for the Royal Mansion’s forces to capture him.
While secretly urging him with their words, tempting him to attack.
If he really attacked, leading to being slain by the City Guard Soldiers.
They likely had ways to grab his Qiankun Ring, hence their actions!
Thankfully, Wang Qingxue timely reminded him.
Otherwise, he would have faced considerable difficulty!
"Young Master Mu, calm down, we truly don’t mean you harm!"
"Indeed, the lady will soon arrive, don’t make things difficult for us!"
Uncle Ding and Uncle Dong, seeing Mu Jinyu unfooled, regrettably, yet continued to persuade with a facade of goodwill.
"It’s you making things difficult for me!!"
Mu Jinyu frowned and said.
Now he truly felt troubled.
They blocked his path, not letting him through, seemingly without violating rules.
Yet, fighting was prohibited here.
If he kept arguing with them, the Royal Mansion’s people would arrive.
That would be disastrous for him!
But how could he escape them now?
While Mu Jinyu frowned, clatter, clatter...
A sharp set of footsteps suddenly approached from a distance.
Then, Uncle Dong and the rest respectfully greeted in unison, "Madam!"
"Madam!"
"Mother!"
Subsequently, Wang Qingxue excitedly ran towards the approaching figure, her tone filled with vibrance and joy.
Mu Jinyu heard this, feeling a heavy heart.
Indeed, they succeeded in delaying him.
Even Wang Qingxue’s mother arrived.
Now, he truly had no way to leave.
Afterward, Mu Jinyu also looked toward the source of the footsteps.
He saw a peerless woman, surrounded by guards, walking towards them.
The woman was extraordinarily beautiful, with unparalleled aura, and exuded a noble and imposing demeanor.
Her appearance also had a slight resemblance to Wang Qingxue.
It’s likely due to Wang Qingxue’s new appearance?
Soon, Wang Qingxue threw herself into the woman’s embrace and whispered something into her ear,
causing the woman to turn her piercing gaze towards Mu Jinyu, filled with scrutiny.
