Chapter 1333: Chapter 1327
Oh no!
Mu Chen sensed something was wrong and rushed up the stairs.
But it was already too late.
A rumbling sound shook the entire restaurant.
The roof collapsed completely, and a gigantic creature landed on the inn.
In an instant, the entire inn was crushed.
To welcome Mu Chen, Mu Xue and Mu Qingqing had already booked the restaurant.
As the inn collapsed, the two women were pinned down before they could react.
Spiritual energy around Mu Chen transformed into a Protective Barrier, deflecting the falling walls and beams.
"Qingqing, Mu Xue!"
Mu Chen stood amidst the ruins, where there was no sign of his two cousins.
And the culprits, the Xuan Bird and the figures on its back, Xin Lin and Murong Ziyue, stood there.
Xin Lin and Murong Ziyue jumped down from the bird’s back.
"Master Mu, what a coincidence, we meet again."
Xin Lin smiled as she greeted him.
"Brother Mu..."
"Brother Chen..."
From the rubble beneath the Xuan Bird, faint cries for help could be heard.
With a signal from Xin Lin, the Xuan Bird stretched lazily, shifted its bottom, and sat back down in a perfect egg-hatching posture. Two cracking sounds echoed, sounding so crisp and pleasing to Xin Lin’s ears.
Now, the two women didn’t even have the strength to call for help, having already fainted from the pain.
"Oh, judging by that sound, it must be broken ribs,"
Xin Lin exclaimed dramatically.
Mu Chen’s face turned green with anger.
"Xin Lin, you did this on purpose. Get the Xuan Bird to move, if anything happens to my two sisters, you won’t be able to escape responsibility!"
Mu Chen said angrily.
This is Fengdong, Mu Family’s territory. Mu Qingqing and Mu Xue’s parents are quite influential here. Even though Xin Lin’s powers had improved, it’s still hard for an outsider to challenge the local power.
"Master Mu, what you said is laughable. They’re your sisters, but isn’t Ziyue your sister too? Didn’t you hear what they said just now?"
Xin Lin sneered.
Next to him, Murong Ziyue remained expressionless.
Although Xin Lin knew that Murong Ziyue was often bullied in Fengdong since childhood, she didn’t expect it to be this severe.
It was not just bullying; it was outright tyranny.
Mu Chen frowned, glancing at Murong Ziyue, a trace of guilt in his eyes.
"That was all in the past. Even if they were wrong, they could apologize to Ziyue. But you acted directly, and so harshly. If this reaches the Family Head, Murong Ziyue will be the one to suffer."
Mu Chen spoke the truth.
Though the Family Head favored him, he would never tolerate outsiders oppressing family members.
Xin Lin remained silent, while the Xuan Bird squatted motionless on the ruins.
As long as Xin Lin didn’t speak up, the Xuan Bird wouldn’t budge an inch.
Nearby, Rong Qiu was frolicking and bouncing around.
Seeing the Xuan Bird’s sharp beak and claws, Mu Chen’s face alternated between blue and white.
The two remained at an impasse, neither willing to yield.
Outside, a crowd had gathered, many witnessing the two young ladies of Fengdong trapped below.
Most were in awe upon seeing the Xuan Bird.
"It’s a five-colored giant bird, not a common one. Didn’t you see it came flying in on a Five-Colored Auspicious Cloud?"
"I get it now, it must be the Third Young Master who summoned reinforcements to deal with the female ghost."
This rumor spread quickly, and after a quarter of an hour, a team arrived hastily, accompanied by Nolan Zhuyun.
It turned out Nolan Zhuyun, fearing things would escalate, had specifically called for the East Court people.
