1224: C1224 The Mu Rong family had also come …

C1224 The Mu Rong family had also come …

The two of them flew all the way, but just as they flew out of Maple City, bursts of light suddenly appeared around them, blocking their path.

"Where are you two going?"

A voice rang out from the light. This person was dressed in black, and there were hundreds of martial artists following behind him.

"You're Murong Yuan?" Qing Kui was shocked.

"Miss Qing Kui, we found out that you were being chased by the Huangfu family and specially came to protect you as you went to the He Yang City to find your father's family." Mu Rong Yuan said politely.

"Protect us" Su Jue smiled faintly. He did not believe that this was protection.

"Yes, we were also entrusted by the Song Family's Patriarch from Hexi City, so you can rest assured." Murong Yuan said.

"Uncle Song, was it really him who asked you to come?" Qing Kui asked doubtfully.

"That's right, this is his keepsake, Miss Qing Kui, please take a look." Murong Yuan took out an order badge and gave it to Qing Kui.

"That's right. This is the keepsake from the time when Uncle Song and my father became sworn brothers." Qing Kui said as he looked at Su Jue happily.

Su Jue nodded his head, thinking that since he was discovered, there was no point in escaping, it would be better to follow the Murong Family and go to He Xi city.

"The two of you, please board the Star Boat." Murong Yuan pointed at the Star Boat that was descending from the sky.

Su Jue laughed, then took Qing Kui and climbed onto the Star Boat. Not long later, the Star Boat disappeared.

Within the time it took for an incense stick to burn, the Star Boat had landed in a huge mansion.

"Miss Qing Kui, we have been waiting for you for a long time."

Just as he walked down from the Star Boat, an old man took the initiative to welcome him.

"You are?" Qing Kui asked doubtfully.

"Kwai Er, he is the Mu Rong family's elder, Mu Rong Hou. He came all the way from Mountain Cloud City to protect you." At this time, a middle-aged man walked in front of Qing Kui.

"Uncle Song." Qing Kui was immediately overjoyed, and bowed to Murong Hou, "City Lord Murong, thank you very much."

"No harm done. This time, the Huangfu family is truly too excessive. They actually used such a despicable method to deal with you two. We truly cannot bear to watch." Mu Rong Hou said indignantly.

"Alright, Mayor Murong, let's talk inside." Song Mingyuan laughed.

"En!"

Mu Rong Hou nodded his head and took a step forward, with Su Jue following closely behind, smiling without saying a word.

"Wait, who are you and what are you doing here?" A young Peerless God of War looked at Su Jue and said coldly.

"Su Jue is my friend, and also my savior." Qing Kui hurriedly walked to Su Jue's side and said.

"Haha, since we're friends, then let's come in together." The Marquis of Murong smiled as a stern look flashed across his eyes.

Although Su Jue realized it, he did not say anything. He wanted to see what these people were up to.

Once they arrived at the Meeting Room, Mu Rong Hou personally brought some tea to Qing Kui's side and said, "Qing Kui, even though I don't know your father, I'm already old friends with your grandfather. It's just that I didn't manage to help you guys during this closed door cultivation.

"Grandfather, so you were friends with my grandfather." Qing Kui said happily.

"That's right. Your grandfather is also a man like your father, but they are too straightforward. The Huangfu family is too excessive." "Don't worry Kui'er, I've already contacted the Huangfu clan. They will go find them and ask them to return justice. But before that, you still have to stay here to prevent others from harming you."

"Thank you, Patriarch Murong."2

"That's right, niece. You are absolutely safe here, but your friend …" Song Mingyuan frowned as he looked at Su Jue.

"Uncle, Su Jue is my savior. Without him, I would have died a long time ago. Qing Kui stood up and laughed.

"Is that so?" Song Mingyuan and the Marquis of Murong looked at each other, only to see the duke of Murong smile at Su Jue and said, "Little friend Su is still young and promising."

Isn't that the same as scaring off Huangfu Shaoyun in River City? Didn't I say that Huangfu Shaoyun had only just entered the Peerless God of War and his battle prowess was only enough to suppress the Elemental War God?

"Your words are wrong. Brother Su, you're able to scare away Huangfu Shaoyun with your cultivation as an extraordinary person. I wonder if Brother Su has time to teach us a lesson?"

"That's right, Brother Su. We four brothers are all from Peerless God of War. I hope we can get some advice from Brother Su."

The four young men all looked at Su Jue with a fake smile.

"I'm not interested." Su Jue shook his head.

"Not interested!" The four men frowned as the atmosphere became tense.

"Young people are impulsive." Mu Rong Hou smiled, then said, "Little friend Su, tomorrow we will have a hunt in the Tiger Forest to the west. You can play with them. If there's no danger, just treat it as entertainment."

"Entertainment."

Qing Kui frowned. She could already feel the scent of gunpowder.

"Don't worry Little Sister Qing Kui, when the time comes, you can participate as well. A youth laughed.

"You're right, there's no need to worry. It's just a hunt." Su Jue also laughed.

Qing Kui nodded his head, feeling that something was amiss.

In the evening, the Marquis of Murong welcomed them with a table full of delicacies and wine, but after three rounds of drinking, he dismissed Su Jue as an outsider.

Su Jue reckoned that this Marquis of Murong also wanted to obtain the map fragment. However, their methods were much more profound, unlike the Huangfu Family who used violence directly.

It was a pity that Qing Kui did not even know where the map fragment was.

As night fell, Su Jue was arranged to stay at a side while Qing Kui was invited by a few youths to view the moon.

Alone, he once again acted as a night walker, stealthily eavesdropping on the conversation between Mu Rong Hou and Song Mingyuan.

"From that girl's performance at the banquet just now, she really doesn't know where the map fragment is." Song Mingyuan frowned.

"That's right, it seems like Huangfu Haoyue went in the wrong direction. The thing he took should still be hidden in the Qing Clan's ancestral grounds."

"I don't think so. If we were to take something out and leave it in the Ancestral Land, it would be impossible for the Huangfu Family to find it with their means. Therefore, I feel that the breakthrough point is still with Qing Kui.

"Her father … are you saying that his father isn't dead?" Murong Hou said in shock.

"That's right. With my understanding of Qing Ye, if he truly feels that he is definitely going to die, he would definitely give the map fragment to Qing Kui. He would also die in the Ancestral Land, so he definitely wouldn't go to some ancient Maple Tree by himself."

"No wonder our people didn't find his body at the Ancient Maple Tree."

"No need to look for him. As long as we spread the news that Qing Kui is with us, he would naturally look for us himself. Right now, the most important problem is to get rid of that kid whose origins are unknown, and then, think of a way to bring Qing Kui to Mountain Cloud City. After all, this is the Huangfu Family's territory."
