At the sa ti, in a villa on the outskirts of Lan City.
The Murderer and his master, Elder Blood, were sitting cross-legged opposite each other in one of the rooms, and from their appearance, they seed to be simultaneously engaging in self-healing.
After so ti had passed, both master and disciple opened their eyes at the sa ti.
The Murderer exhaled a long, murky breath from his mouth, a hint of sinister harshness appearing on his face.
"Master, I owe you so much for taking action on your disciple’s behalf. Otherwise today, your disciple might have fallen into that young man’s hands."
"Hmph!"
Hearing the Murderer’s words, Elder Blood couldn’t help but let out a heavy snort.
"My disciple, how many tis have I told you not to provoke those ancient Martial Cultivators carelessly? Now, with our identity as Evil Cultivators, we are extrely sensitive. Once targeted by soone deliberate again, I fear we may be in trouble."
After a brief pause, a chilling look also erged on Elder Blood’s face as he continued,
"If it weren’t for that old guy from Chunqiu Pavilion with the surna Song who injured before, with that youngster’s re cultivation, I would have surely made him die under my Blood Evil Palm!"
Hearing his master Elder Blood’s words, the Murderer’s expression couldn’t help but beco a bit more solemn, but he still responded with a bitter smile,
"Master, this ti it wasn’t your disciple who provoked that person, but rather, he intentionally ca looking for trouble with . You know my character, I never casually provoke those guys with a background."
"Oh, so it turns out I have wronged you this ti."
Elder Blood furrowed his brow and pondered for a while, but in the end, he shook his head and said,
"No, that’s not right. Lan City is just a second-tier city, apart from that old guy with the surna Song, I’ve never heard of any hidden ancient martial families establishing themselves in this region. Could it be that this person is also rely a Loose Cultivator?"
"Hehe, Master, that kind of thing can be investigated by that Mu Jie when the ti cos. Why should we bother ourselves thinking about it?"
The Murderer seed sowhat indifferent, and he couldn’t help but chuckle as he suggested to Elder Blood, "Besides, even if that youngster has so special background, with the strength of our Blood Evil Sect, we wouldn’t necessarily be afraid of him."
"Silence!"
Who knew that, upon hearing his own disciple’s words, Elder Blood not only did not echo them, but also reprimanded him very sternly,
"You must rember, from now on, do not casually ntion our Sect out in the open. That is the rule. Do you understand? Do not repeat this mistake!"
Saying this, Elder Blood’s expression softened slightly, and then he nodded, "What you just said does make so sense. Let that Mu Jie investigate that youngster. Once I fully understand that youngster’s background..."
As he spoke, a ruthless look couldn’t help but flash across Elder Blood’s aged face.
"Then I will definitely turn him into a pool of blood!"
"Thud thud thud..."
Just then, the door to the room where the master and disciple were located was suddenly knocked on. Soone outside spoke, "The honorable guests, Mr. Mu has arrived with his son. Mr. Mu says he hopes the honored guests could et with him and his son."
Hearing the report from outside, Elder Blood and the Murderer exchanged a glance, and a sinister smile erged on both of their faces in unison.
"Good, go tell Mu Jie that in ten minutes, we will et him in the villa’s main hall."
...
Outside the villa, upon hearing the servant’s ssage from inside, a distinguished middle-aged man, whose face was originally stern, imdiately showed a pleased smile.
He did not hesitate, and imdiately took a young man with dyed yellow hair and a chain of skull beads around his neck, and following the servant’s lead, they ca to the mansion’s grand hall.
"Dad, what did you bring here for? Who exactly are those two inside, that even you are so polite to them?"
After arriving in the mansion’s grand hall, the young man could no longer contain his impatience and directly asked his question.
"Silence! Mu Cheng, how many tis have I told you, there are so people in this world that are beyond your and my imagination, and you must show them nothing but the utmost respect."
With that, the imposing middle-aged man took a deep breath before continuing solemnly, "The two that I am taking you to et shortly belong to that very category."
"Get this straight, when you et them later, your attitude must not be like it’s been in the past. You must show them respect like you would your own family, got it?"
The two having this conversation were none other than Mu Jie and his son, Mu Cheng.
At this mont, hearing his father’s words and seeing his unprecedentedly serious deanor, Mu Cheng instinctively felt a chill and nodded, saying:
"Don’t worry, although I may act foolishly at tis, I can still differentiate what’s important."
"Good, that’s what I wanted to hear."
Seeing Mu Cheng like this, Mu Jie felt quite satisfied and nodded approvingly.
Following this, father and son sat quietly, waiting for the arrival of the Murderer and his disciple.
In fact, this mansion was provided by Mu Jie for the Murderer and his disciple.
But Mu Jie was very aware of the Murderer and his disciple’s abilities, so at this mont, he acted as if he were the guest.
...
About twenty minutes later, the Murderer and his disciple finally arrived near where Mu Jie and his son were seated.
As soon as the two reached the father and son, Elder Blood took the initiative without waiting for any action from them, saying:
"Mu Jie, I need you to investigate soone for . Check if there have been any others like us in Lan City recently, or if a family similar to ours has arrived here. That shouldn’t be a problem, right?"
Suddenly hearing Elder Blood’s request, Mu Jie’s face showed a flash of astonishnt.
But ultimately, he nodded respectfully and assured, "No problem. I cannot guarantee other things, but when it cos to investigating a person, I, Mu Jie, am sowhat confident. Please rest assured, Elder Blood, I will handle this matter."
Elder Blood nodded with satisfaction and then turned his gaze to the young Mu Cheng on the side, asking indifferently:
"Mu Jie, bringing your son here today, is it because you wanted to...?"
Seeing that Elder Blood was not one to beat around the bush, Mu Jie also got straight to the point:
"Not to hide anything from Elder Blood, today I brought my son here because I was hoping you could see if there’s any chance..."
Mu Jie briefly glanced at the two, noting that their expressions were neutral, then gritted his teeth and continued:
"I would like to ask Elder Blood if you would consider taking my son as a disciple, and see if it’s possible for him to learn the kind of skills you command?"
After speaking, Mu Jie imdiately gave Mu Cheng a aningful look.
Although Mu Cheng was sowhat puzzled, he knew well his father’s judgnt and was aware that his father would never engage in pointless actions.
After only a mont of hesitation, Mu Cheng stood up, knelt before Elder Blood and the Murderer, and said with utmost sincerity:
"Mu Cheng is untalented, but I hope Elder Blood and this esteed senior brother can extend a helping hand and accept as a disciple, so that I may have the opportunity to learn your exceptional abilities."
