Chapter 773: Chapter 775: Yuan’s Plot, Unbearable

"Madam, Yuan Family’s Third Master has sent over a visiting card and is waiting outside," the housekeeper announced.

Inside the hall, Qin Muye was chatting with Madame Mu, and the two of them seemed quite amiable on the surface. They had been talking for less than half an hour when this news arrived.

"Tch, the man himself has arrived. Many matters, ah, must not be judged solely by their appearance, nor should you frighten yourself," Qin Muye said with a hint of sarcasm.

Anyone who takes the blame without benefit would react the same way.

"Invite Third Master Yuan for a visit and see what he has to say," Madame Mu said, completely ignoring Qin Muye’s sarcasm as if she had hardly understood it.

This Mr. Yuan arrived quickly, with a brawny and rugged appearance, but such men are often full of schemes.

"Madame Mu, it has been a long time. Today’s visit is not without gifts; I have brought some to show my sincerity," Yuan Third Master said, gesturing for his servant to bring the gifts forward.

Madame Mu’s eyes flashed with a cold glint when she saw the items. She said icily, "I hadn’t expected that the items you brought would be so similar to those the Mu Family purchased not long ago."

"Wait a minute! Madame Mu, are you implying that my payment was intercepted on the way!" Qin Muye was shocked. He was usually amiable because it hadn’t touched his real interests, but if it did, they should not blame him for being ruthless enough to send their entire family off to their Maker.

Yuan Third Master was also surprised; he thought these possessions belonged to someone else. It hadn’t occurred to him that the items were meant for him, but he did not show this.

"You two really know how to joke. This was bought with my own true silver," said Yuan Third Master, his words laden with deeper meaning.

"What about the other items? Were they involved in an incident?" Qin Muye calmed his emotions. Although he was shocked that someone dared to hijack his belongings, he still needed to look after his interests.

"We’ve lost quite a bit so far, without any leads," Madame Mu mused inwardly, though her face displayed a look of worry and distress.

"Yuan Family, huh? You targeting the Mu Family doesn’t bother me much, but hijacking my things is going too far. By tomorrow, I want to see my goods safely arrive at the Mu Family. Otherwise, there’s no need for the Yuan Family to exist," Qin Muye said, in an unfriendly tone.

He might seem weak, but that was just a facade. In reality, he was a formidable 8th stage incarnation, typically concealing his power as there were no benefits in revealing it.

But now, with his belongings stolen and him still in hiding, his strength would be utterly useless.

Playing the fool could only go on for so long; if it continued, he might genuinely become the fool, and that demanded an occasional show of force.

Upon hearing these words, Yuan Third Master couldn’t help but laugh: "Whose scion are you? Aren’t you afraid of bringing disaster upon your mighty family? If it were your Family Head speaking, perhaps he might have the right, but you, a mere mortal, dare to speak so?"

He had originally come to show off and intimidate, and although disrupted by Qin Muye, he found the incident quite amusing.

Qin Muye’s face darkened; he hadn’t expected the attack to reach him. This might also be an opportunity provided by the Main Character Aura, but opportunities were something he hardly lacked; whether to seize them was another matter.

"One more thing, I heard your son disappeared today. Is that true?" Yuan Third Master stopped paying attention to Qin Muye and turned to Madame Mu. He was here for the Mu Family, not to engage in a petty quarrel, which was not only irrelevant to his plans but also beneath his status.

But before Madame Mu could reply, the sound of crackling bones echoed. Upon a closer glance, all of Yuan Third Master’s bones and meridians were dislocated by Qin Muye.

Neither Madame Mu nor Yuan Third Master had time to react to the swift attack.

’Indeed a Daluo Golden Immortal!’ As Madame Mu watched Yuan’s pitiful state, her pupils contracted.

"By tomorrow, I want to see my goods arrive timely at the Mu Family; otherwise, there’s no need for the Yuan Family to exist."

"Trouble landed on me? You really think I specialize only in Karma Dao?" Qin Muye grumbled as he stood up to leave.

The fallen Yuan Third Master resembled nothing more than a lump of mud as he struggled helplessly on the ground, his eyes filled with fear and confusion.

Where did this Daluo Golden Immortal come from? Hadn’t every last one been exterminated by the Spirit Emperor?

Then, upon hearing the words ’Karma Dao’, the idea of reporting him was abandoned for fear that if the Spirit Emperor failed to kill him, then it would be the Yuan Family who would suffer.

"Master Yuan, would you like someone to help you?" Lady Mu rose slowly and walked over, crossing by him and reaching the chest placed behind him, which she opened to find Mu Sang indeed inside.

Although his strength was also that of a Golden Immortal, he paled in comparison to Lady Mu, so naturally, he had to bring Mu Sang along to avoid being trapped here should negotiations fail.

Of course, if the negotiations were successful, Mu Sang would have to be returned to the Mu Family.

The Yuan Family merely wanted advantages, not truly to become mortal enemies with the Mu Family.

To slap on the face, to extort, to kill a direct descendant—these would definitely constitute mortal enmities. Even though the Mu Family’s background might not match the Yuan Family’s at the moment, if it were to retaliate in desperation, the Yuan Family would also suffer severe losses, eventually benefiting other great families.

So, fundamentally, this was merely a probe towards the Mu Family; they truly did not dare to harm Mu Sang.

Lady Mu picked up Mu Sang and handed him to a servant before saying, "Someone, escort Master Yuan back to the Yuan Family, and remind them to deliver Mr. Qin’s belongings on time, otherwise, we may not be able to stop Mr. Qin."

Upon seeing this, Wang Kui immediately picked up Master Yuan and left the Mu Family. With his strength as a Profound Immortal, he only needed the duration of an incense stick to reach the Yuan Family.

This wouldn’t delay matters at all.

After the people left, Lady Mu actually broke out in a cold sweat behind her back; she hadn’t anticipated today’s affairs turning out to be so complicated.

"This Mr. Qin really is... bizarre." Recalling Qin Muye’s situation, he truly kept a low profile and was organized in his actions, preferring not to engage in violence if it could be avoided, and even when Mu Sang offended him, he merely administered a minor chastisement as a major warning—another might have beaten him severely instead.

On the other hand, Qin Muye also left helplessly; he felt really unlucky that just when the resources were almost within his grasp, complications arose.

If he didn’t take action, he might truly lose them.

He wasn’t really helping the Mu Family for their sake but mainly for his own.

"Just wait a bit longer, once the Mirror Immortal takes form, revelations later on won’t pose much of an issue," Qin Muye thought simply, focusing primarily on keeping a low profile.

As for the Spirit Emperor? Qin Muye wasn’t really afraid. Did they really think his ’Block Heavenly Mechanism’ talent was for show, thinking capturing him would be so easy?

Moreover, the Spirit Emperor currently didn’t have much intention to focus on Qin Muye, since he not only needed to reform the entire Great Spirit but also had to ensure his cultivation of Spiritual Beasts didn’t lag behind; handling all these affairs wasn’t so easy.

Perhaps he might search for Qin Muye, but if he didn’t find him within a certain period, the Spirit Emperor wouldn’t persistently pursue him because as long as his reform of the Great Spirit was completed, he wouldn’t mind the emergence of a new Daluo Golden Immortal.

After all, he couldn’t genuinely stop this ascension channel; otherwise, such contrary actions would certainly become problematic.

Thus, in the short term, he actually didn’t need to worry about the Spirit Emperor, otherwise Qin Muye wouldn’t openly reveal himself.

It was also because the Spirit Emperor was preoccupied with other matters that he had enough time to contest with him, otherwise, he wouldn’t have made such plans.

But the genesis of the contest plan was inevitable; after all, refining spirits and contesting the path were already prescribed in the system.

Although the system didn’t manage affairs, it still monitored the Spirit Realm itself.

"Alright, don’t worry about things you shouldn’t," he thought, as he was just an incarnation and didn’t need to consider too much, rather think about how to use the Main Character Aura to quickly resolve the situation and acquire the resources.

This was also a minor drawback of the Main Character Aura; it would provide opportunities, but wouldn’t guarantee that they would appear in a way that aligns completely with Qin Muye’s wishes.

It might even involve situations where blessings and calamities coexisted, requiring him to seize them personally; however, sometimes the waters were too deep to manage effectively, and that could really mess things up.

If the legitimate Main Character Aura was involved, situations like escaping from death would appear, but Qin Muye’s Main Character Aura wasn’t very proper, so if he couldn’t manage properly, it would really cool off.

While being supported to death by chances might sound comical, in Qin Muye’s case, it could indeed happen, otherwise how could the matter with the Yuan Family suddenly have deviated so much?
