"What kind of sin did I commit to deserve this." Shen Mao was about to cry.
His subordinates naturally thought of the same thing; seeing this, they could only let out a helpless sigh.
On the other side, unlike Shen Mao’s despair, after learning that Su Changfeng was going to kill Situ Yuan, You Meng became extremely happy.
In her eyes, the dull life had gone on for far too long; ordinary little incidents could no longer stir her interest. Only events of this scale could make her feel it was a bit fun. The key point was that a life that was too peaceful was also a kind of torment for some people.
"If you really kill Situ Yuan, I wonder what kind of expression the Emperor will have? But, just stirring up trouble within the Xingluo Territory isn’t that fun. If you can trigger a great chaos among the Three Kingdoms, now that would be worth looking forward to." You Meng muttered to herself in a tone of someone who feared the world wasn’t messy enough, but her excitement quickly cooled down.
"This won’t do. I can’t keep digging into your affairs. If I arouse your suspicion, how will I keep following you in the future? I still want to keep watching the show. I’ll put this matter aside for now. As long as I keep tailing you, sooner or later, I’ll find out your secret."
Most of the time, You Meng’s behavior didn’t resemble that of a Primordial Master who had lived for a long time, but rather a clueless little girl. In fact, this had a lot to do with her age, because You Meng became a true expert when she was very young.
Back then, she deliberately appeared before the Emperor in the guise of an old woman; no one knew that when You Meng became a Primordial Master, she was not yet twenty.
If this ever got out, the entire Tianyuan Continent would probably be shaken.
Su Changfeng had just returned to the inn not long ago when Mu Wei and his son came looking for him.
Mu Yan had already guessed that Su Changfeng would probably leave early, so he had arranged people to follow him in advance. Worried about being discovered, he even found many people to relay the tailing like a baton pass, so that even Su Changfeng didn’t notice.
From this angle, it could be seen that this guy was fairly smart, but the more cautious he was, the bigger the mess he would stir up.
"Su Changfeng, you didn’t expect this, did you? I still managed to find you with ease. I knew you’d leave early, so I had people shadow you in advance." Mu Yan looked at Su Changfeng with a very smug expression; he was clearly quite proud of his so-called masterful planning.
"You insist on courting death; what am I supposed to do?" Su Changfeng unhurriedly poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip. As for Mu Wei and his son and their subordinates, Su Changfeng did not care about any of them. Since Mu Yan insisted on seeking death, Su Changfeng didn’t mind giving him a hand.
"Su Changfeng, this time next year will be the anniversary of your death!" Mu Wei said coldly.
As soon as his voice fell, all the top experts of the Mu Family surrounded Su Changfeng in a tight circle.
The other guests in the inn hurriedly left. If they accidentally got caught up in this, it would be bad. Although the Mu Family couldn’t be considered an especially powerful clan, they did have considerable strength; no one was willing to provoke them lightly.
Su Changfeng couldn’t help sighing. Though this was a different world, rich young masters were all the same: relying on the family behind them, they would never turn back until they crashed into a wall headfirst, and would not stop until they had forced themselves into a dead end.
"Since you insist on seeking death, I can only grant your wish." Su Changfeng said calmly. Right now, he needed to go all out against the Situ Family and naturally had no interest in entangling himself with small fry like the Mu Family.
Therefore, to keep them from causing him trouble, the best solution was simply to kill them.
Su Changfeng wasn’t a violent person, but for clowns like this, he felt no need to show any sympathy.
"Is that so? I’d like to see if you have the ability." As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Wei gave the order: "Break his arms and legs for me!"
Mu Yan looked itching to try, as if he could already see Su Changfeng’s limbs crippled and himself free to torture him however he liked.
But then a bizarre scene unfolded. Clearly, Mu Wei had already given the command, yet those Mu Family experts still stood in place without moving an inch.
Mu Wei naturally noticed this and urged them irritably, "What are you standing around for? Hurry up and grab him!"
Su Changfeng smiled and said, "It’s not that they don’t want to grab me, it’s that they can’t move."
Now that there were no outsiders present, Su Changfeng had no need to hide his strength. To him, ending this quickly was the best option.
"How is this possible?" Mu Wei’s expression changed instantly, and he instinctively stepped back a few paces.
The people he brought this time were all top-tier experts; there was even one late stage third rank expert among them. Could it be that even he couldn’t move?
How could this young man before his eyes possess such terrifying strength?
"Father, what on earth is going on?" Clearly, Mu Yan had no idea what had happened and looked at Mu Wei with a puzzled face.
Mu Wei stared at Su Changfeng in horror. Given the situation, how could he have the time to explain anything to Mu Yan?
"My lord!" In the next second, Mu Wei dropped to his knees with a thud, leaving Mu Yan completely dumbfounded.
"Father, what do you mean by this?" Mu Yan asked in a daze, even more confused. He had never imagined that his own father would just kneel to Su Changfeng like this.
In his view, since they had brought so many people this time, Su Changfeng was dead for sure, yet Mu Wei had knelt straight down. Was he out of his mind?
"Kneel, and apologize to my lord!" Mu Wei said to Mu Yan with a dark expression.
My lord? Kneel and apologize?
At this moment, Mu Yan was completely dumbfounded, but he clearly saw the fear in Mu Wei’s eyes. It was an emotion he had never seen in his father before.
Although the Mu Family couldn’t be counted among the top clans within Xingluo, they were still considered a first-tier family. Mu Wei had strutted around for so many years, never bowing his head to anyone, let alone kneeling to apologize before the fight even started out of fear.
What the hell was going on?
"My lord, I, Mu Wei, was blind and offended you. I hope you won’t stoop to argue with a petty man like me. My Mu Family is willing to follow you and be a dog by your side. Please, my lord, give me a chance." Seeing Su Changfeng walking toward him step by step, Mu Wei’s clothes were drenched in cold sweat. He no longer cared about the still-stunned Mu Yan and pleaded for mercy.
"I let you off again and again, yet you insist on courting death and even boasted about crippling me. If you don’t die, how am I supposed to live in peace?" Su Changfeng said expressionlessly.
Hearing this, Mu Wei almost fainted from fright. If he had known Su Changfeng was this powerful, how would he have dared to repeatedly make trouble for him?
With no other choice, Mu Wei could only keep kowtowing to Su Changfeng. At this moment, his only chance of survival was to hope that Su Changfeng would spare him.
