Mu Xue Ning seemed to have a strong say in the palace. The palace people were very respectful when they saw her, including the steward beside the emperor.

The manager’s surname was Wang, and his face broke into a smile the moment he saw Ye Yao.

But when he saw Cang Jue, his expression froze, but he was good at disguising his emotions and quickly put on a smiling face again.

"Miss Lei, you have worked hard. His Majesty has left the court and is coming this way. Please wait for a moment."

Miss Lei?

Cang Jue raised his eyes and glanced sideways. Ye Yao covered her lips and laughed softly, "I was just teasing him. Who knew I would see him again."

Cang Jue curled his eyes and said nothing.

Mu Xue Ning had changed into a gorgeous outfit in such a short while. When she came in, she saw them talking and laughing, and she sneered:

"Even though she is engaged, she can be so intimate with another man. She is truly an uneducated country woman."

Hearing this, Manager Wang was surprised and then looked at Ye Yao with scrutiny.

Ye Yao leaned back and looked back at her indifferently.

"Yeah, I fall in love with every girl I meet. Are you going to hit me?"

"You——!" Mu Xue Ning was speechless again due to anger.

"The Emperor has arrived——"

A loud announcement came from outside the hall.

Mu Xue Ning glared at her before she and Manager Wang knelt down to pay their respects.

Cang Jue obviously didn't think about bowing, so Ye Yao sat with him.

When Mu Heng came in, someone reminded her, "Miss, you have to pay respect to His Highness."

Ye Yao pretended to stand up, and Mu Heng happily waved his hand and said, "No need, Miss Lei is my savior, how can I let my savior bow to me."

Ye Yao sat down again: "It's just right, my legs and feet are inconvenient, and I'm a country woman, I don't know how to perform the ceremony, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Mu Heng was so excited that he didn't care about the formalities. As long as he could see the person he loved so much, he would do anything else.

However, when his eyes swept over Cang Jue, who was full of hostility, his gaze paused almost imperceptibly.

"Who is this……"

Ye Yao was about to speak, but Mu Xuening, who was standing beside her, looked like she was watching a show and said loudly, "Today, I'm going to open my eyes to my brother. This person is not an ordinary person..."

"Oh?" Mu Heng was puzzled: "Could this person also be..."

Ye Yao glanced at Mu Xue Ning and smiled: "He is my fellow disciple. We were going to leave together but were stopped by the soldiers guarding the city."

There was some resentment hidden in these words. Mu Heng knew that he was being unreasonable, so he smiled and did not ask any more questions.

He just looked at her and asked attentively:

"But you are still used to it. I guess you don't like being served by others, so I asked them to leave. If you have anything to do in the future, just tell Wang the chief steward directly, or tell me. I will definitely satisfy you."

How long do you plan to keep me? One or two days is fine, but if it's longer, Ye Yao won't do it.

"I appreciate your kindness, but my brother and I have things to do, so I'm afraid we can't stay long. I heard you have something to talk to me about, so just tell me."

Her attitude was cold and anyone with a discerning eye could see that she was just being perfunctory, but Mu Heng did not give up and continued with a smug look:

"It's nothing serious. I just saw that the girl's skills were extraordinary that day, so I thought she must not be an ordinary person. I have always been interested in the sect's affairs, so I wanted to borrow the girl to learn more about it."

Ye Yao raised her eyebrows: "Senior Sister Mu and I are from the same sect. Didn't she tell you about the interesting things in the sect?"

This sentence not only exposed Mu Heng's thoughts, but also satirized Mu Xue Ning's despicable behavior of getting away with it after doing something bad.

The eyes of the Mu siblings met. Mu Heng smiled awkwardly, but Mu Xue Ning glared at her angrily and said:

"Look carefully where this is. Even if your father came here, he would have to bow. How dare you say such irresponsible things here? I think you are tired of living!"

Ye Yao looked innocent: "What did I say? Isn't it fun in Luoyun Sect? When my senior sister left, she gave me a big surprise. I still remember it."

Mu Heng didn't know the twists and turns in this, and thought that Ye Yao and Mu Xue Ning had a really good relationship, so he smiled and interrupted:

"Since you have such a good relationship, it's just right for you to stay for a few more days and talk with Xue Ning. She has been in a bad mood since she came back. I guess she is reluctant to leave the days of training in the sect."

I'm worried that she's not dead yet.

Ye Yao was too lazy to continue to show her fellow disciples' affection, so she stood up with the help of the chair and said:

"No need. We don't have a good relationship, and we're not close enough to talk to each other. If you're okay, I'll leave with my senior brother. Five hundred taels have already bought off your life-saving grace, so don't say I'm your benefactor in the future."

Mu Heng's face was visibly flustered: "Hey, Miss Lei..."

Mu Xuening frowned and said sternly: "Ye Yao, you can't leave!"

"Ye, Yao?" Mu Heng was stunned.

Upon hearing this, Cang Jue's face darkened. He teleported in front of Mu Xue Ning and grabbed her throat without saying a word.

"How dare you! How dare you disrespect the princess! Someone come!" Steward Wang shouted, and a large group of armored soldiers rushed in.

Mu Heng had never seen such a scene before. He was so shocked that he forgot for a moment that the person being caught was his sister.

Seeing this, Ye Yao quickly shouted, "Cang Jue, no!"

Cang Jue paused as his slightly tightened tiger's mouth tightened.

After his cold eyes swept across Mu Xuening's purple face, he said in a deep voice: "She has no good intentions."

Ye Yao went forward and pulled his sleeve.

"I know, but you can't hurt anyone here."

Cang Jue still refused to let go, so all the armored soldiers drew their swords and approached him.

"Release the princess quickly, otherwise..."

Mu Xue Ning's face turned red, and she secretly made hand gestures with her hands below. In an instant, a strong wind blew up, quickly separating Cang Jue and her.

She took several steps back before she could catch her breath.

Cang Jue had already gathered up a cloud of black mist to confront her strong wind. For a moment, everyone in the palace was wailing and being blown to and fro.

Mu Heng was also shocked by the scene, and he held the pillar tightly, not daring to let go.

Ye Yao immediately used the Qingfeng Jue to stand between the two of them, and Cang Jue then withdrew his hand.

Mu Xue Ning knew that she could not beat Cang Jue now, so she had to quit while she was ahead.

The wind died down and the dust settled, and the huge palace finally became quiet.

Mu Heng also woke up from his shock, pushed aside the soldiers surrounding him, pointed at Cang Jue and asked, "Who is he?"

The black mist that just emanated from Cang Jue was obviously not something that ordinary sect disciples would have.

Mu Xue Ning supported herself on the pillar behind her, and replied with a curled lip: "Brother, can't you see that he is not a human, but a beast!"

"Is it a beast?!"

"What?! It's an orc! How can he come to the palace?!"

The soldiers nearby shouted in fear.

Mu Heng's thoughts were disturbed by these calls, and he only looked at Ye Yao.

"Then you are..."

Ye Yao glanced at Mu Xue Ning, then stood in front of Cang Jue and said coldly, "I only play this childish trick with you because I'm bored. You'd better not make me angry."

Mu Xue Ning sneered: "Then you should let him do it. There are so many sects in the world, and there are many immortals who have achieved enlightenment. They are just worried that they don't have the opportunity to show their divine power in front of the people."

"If he dares to kill someone, all the disciples in the world will come to punish him. Do you think he will still be so arrogant at that time?"
