Chapter 772: Chapter 774: Covert Seizure of Resources, Legitimate Son Missing

Mu Sang had left, looking as if she had lost her soul.

Initially, she had come to give Qin Muye trouble,, but unexpectedly, she was tricked by him instead; she could hardly believe why she had fallen for such a ridiculous scapegoat lie.

Wang Kui also felt very embarrassed about this. After all, it was the Mu Family who were wrong first. Considering Mu Sang’s aggressive demeanor, the fact that Qin Muye had merely tricked her was already lucky; she feared what would come next might be even worse.

Qin Muye didn’t care, but he thought Mu Sang was a menace and urged Mrs. Mu to deal with her quickly.

At this remark, Wang Kui’s face turned dark, thinking that Qin Muye was so unsatisfied that he might take decisive action to harm Mu Sang.

Normally, Mu Sang was quite perceptive and not so easily deceived as Qin Muye had observed; it was just that Qin Muye’s Main Character Aura had worked its effects.

In the end, Wang Kui could only stabilize Qin Muye for the time being, then think of another plan; he always felt that Qin Muye was like a smiling tiger -- seemingly humorous, but unhesitating in his actions, having seized a breakthrough moment right from the start.

"What? The resources were robbed?" Mrs. Mu’s face darkened, and even her tone dropped significantly.

This made her think of the day before when Qin Muye had tricked her son, Mu Sang, and then trouble followed immediately afterward.

Under normal circumstances, they wouldn’t suspect Qin Muye, but the problem was that in their eyes, Qin Muye was a Spirit Master of the Karma Dao, very likely having laid the groundwork under certain circumstances, ready to erupt at any moment.

Thus, she couldn’t help but think this might have been Qin Muye’s doing.

"Old Wang, what do you think?" Mrs. Mu turned to Wang Kui, who was quite familiar with Qin Muye, and asked.

Wang Kui was startled, How could he view it, if not standing and watching?

"Madam, this humble one believes... we could perhaps ask Mr. Qin," Wang Kui reluctantly said through clenched teeth.

"..." Mrs. Mu was speechless. The man was ready to trick you, and you’re going to ask him? Could it really be that simple?

"Alright, this matter is handed over to you, Old Wang. Make sure it’s resolved," Mrs. Mu said, although frustrated with Wang Kui’s confidence, she still delegated the task to him.

She surmised that Qin Muye just wanted to stay longer in the Mu Family to further his schemes, so the best course of action was actually to send him away quickly, to avoid further complications and potential accidents.

Thinking about this, Mrs. Mu actually felt a bit of regret for not being more decisive initially.

’Not good, Sang’er!’ Mrs. Mu suddenly realized the danger, the words "internal strife and external threats" often came hand in hand.

The external threat was the unknown characters who had stolen the resources Qin Muye needed, but the internal strife had not yet erupted, so naturally, she thought first of Mu Sang, who had been deceived by Qin Muye.

The opponent surely didn’t just deceive Mu Sang for fun; he had definitely planted the cause, now just waiting to harvest the results.

"Where is Sang’er? I punished him to face the wall and reflect yesterday, how is his reflection going now?" Mrs. Mu steadied her emotions and immediately asked.

"Reporting to Madam, everything is well with Young Master Sang," the close maid quickly replied.

"Well? Have him come here and pay his respects to me," Mrs. Mu rubbed her temples, then glanced at Wang Kui, "Old Wang, go ahead, don’t delay."

"Madam, I have another thought; this matter shouldn’t be rushed too hastily, lest we startle the snake by hitting the grass. A thorough investigation is necessary," Wang Kui strategically retreated by advancing, initially throwing out a suggestion then denying it, which, while seemingly two-faced, at least held no danger.

"Good, this task is now entrusted to you to handle, investigate thoroughly as soon as possible..."

Before Mrs. Mu had finished speaking, her close maid rushed back urgently.

"Not good, Madam, Young Master Sang has escaped at some unknown time," the maid reported anxiously.

Hearing this news, Mrs. Mu’s heart sank completely, she hadn’t expected it to come so quickly.

"How were those guards and servants watching? When did Sang’er leave?" Mrs. Mu let out a hint of a Golden Immortal Realm aura, causing everyone around her to tremble involuntarily.

Fortunately, she maintained her composure well, not enveloping the entire Mu Family in her force.

Mu Sang could not have just vanished under her supervision, being a Golden Immortal himself; it was implausible for someone of the Mortal Realm to escape her surveillance.

So there must have been someone helping him.

Of course, this person was not Qin Muye, but he could certainly have been calculated against by Qin Muye.

"Mrs. Mu, please go and speak with Mr. Qin, anything is fine as long as he informs us of Sang’er’s whereabouts," Mrs. Mu was also resolute.

What about alerting the enemy, or the investigation, none of that mattered anymore—the legitimate heir of the Mu Family was their hope, and nothing could go wrong.

"Yes, Madam." At this moment, Wang Kui did not use any tactic of advancing by retreating but merely nodded in cold sweat, as that fleeting aura had nearly scared him to death.

Now that it had come to this, there was certainly no room for further slippery tricks.

"Then arrange for someone to track down the stolen items and dispatch people to find Sang’er, and quickly!" Mrs. Mu did not place all her hopes on Wang Kui; she needed to take action herself.

As for Qin Muye, she did think of making a move but hesitated as he must certainly be concealing his true strength, definitely not from the Mortal Realm. As to which realm of the Immortal Realm he belonged, that was still up for discussion, but at the very least it had to be from the Golden Immortal Realm since she couldn’t discern his reality, and he might even be from the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm.

Although all the Daluo Golden Immortals of the Great Spirit Dynasty had been captured by the Spirit Emperor, it was not certain that some hadn’t escaped, especially since the opponent mainly used Karma Dao and Luck Dao, naturally capable of foreseeing such crises. It might be very difficult to dodge, but not impossible.

Though she was unsure why he was targeting the Mu Family in this manner, she could be certain there were interests involved.

’Could he possibly want the entire Mu Family?’

’No, that’s impossible. The Spirit Emperor is cruel and ruthless nowadays; he definitely wouldn’t dare to wipe out an entire family. Once exposed, he couldn’t escape death either!’

’Therefore, there must be other schemes. Perhaps his calculations involve not just my Mu Family but other major families as well.’

All these thoughts surfaced in Mrs. Mu’s mind, yet none had solid proof, nor could she use them to confront Qin Muye.

She could only go through Wang Kui; it was not appropriate for her to go personally.

"Whew~" Mrs. Mu exhaled deeply. She wondered who was behind this.

If not Qin Muye, the one who made the move was extremely covert and specifically targeted her, even now, she could sense Mu Sang within her room.

But she had investigated the reality: naturally, the room was empty, indicating calculated targeting.

"Which major family is cooperating in this?"

Those that could contend with a major family were none other than another major family; who else could it be?

...

"You need to have evidence for this matter, right? Mu Sang may have offended me, but I’ve already played it off, and we’re even. Why would I scheme against him for no reason?"

"And besides, you can’t just say his disappearance was my doing."

Qin Muye wore a face that screamed, ’Are you kidding me?’ as if he had to carry all the blame.

"Sir, we can discuss any demands you have, but young master Sang must come to no harm," Wang Kui was also desperate and felt that Qin Muye was utterly unscrupulous.

Previously, he had agreed to all the conditions laid forth, only to pull such a stunt afterward.

"Stop joking, why would I sabotage him when I’m about to get what I wanted? Why would I want to complicate matters further?" Qin Muye also looked upset.

He felt this was certainly an unforeseen event but was undoubtedly related to the Main Character Aura, and very likely to cause trouble.

’Mu Sang is indeed a catalyst...’

When the other party had come over to stir trouble previously, Qin Muye had this thought. Still, it was something Mrs. Mu had permitted—did she really think he wouldn’t know if Mu Sang came to Green Pine Residence? A Golden Immortal is a seventh-rank, and nothing at the Mu Family could escape her notice.

However, Mu Sang disappearing was truly beyond Qin Muye’s expectations. Most likely, someone had kidnapped him. Otherwise, why would he just vanish for no reason? Even if he wanted to escape, he couldn’t avoid Mrs. Mu.

"Alright, I understand you think I have other motives. Go meet Mrs. Mu then; this matter isn’t really about me. It seems someone saw the inner turmoil in your Mu Family just calm down and decided to meddle."

"It’s just infuriating that they dare bring it to my doorstep."

Qin Muye watched as Wang Kui struggled to speak, then decided they still needed to discuss things. What could he possibly discuss with this old servant of course, but he must talk to the person in charge.

Otherwise, relying solely on intermediaries would waste so much time, and Qin Muye didn’t have that much free time to spare.
