Mu Qingli touched the Wind Blade Sword, and a picture of a woman wielding it emerged in his mind, her face blurry...
A sword is an indispensable item for everyone. No matter whether one can wield a sword or not, one will have one in his hand. Once one reaches the spiritual master level, one can fly with a sword.
"Grandpa, thank you."
"Kid, you're being too polite to your grandfather. Giving you a gift today is secondary. I mainly want to tell you that I saw a few bottles of primary elixirs at the auction today. The efficacy is similar to what you described last time. Do you think they were sent by your master?"
Old Master Mu could only think of this possibility. He never expected that the elixir was brought over by Mu Qingli.
If he knew, he would definitely get to the bottom of it.
Mu Qingli didn't explain too much and said, "Maybe."
Anyway, if there is any blame, just put it on the master you have never met. It just so happens that you can now refine king-level pills, and then you can say that it was given by your master.
No one would believe me if I said I made it myself. Instead of wasting time explaining, I would just deny it directly.
"Grandpa, can my engagement with the Fourth Prince be cancelled?"
Mu Qingli thought of the engagement between the original owner and Xie Jingxi. She had no feelings for Xie Jingxi and would not marry him because of this engagement.
Mu Zhanxiao also disliked Xie Jingxi. The kid was too ambitious and often asked people to promote his name as a genius. At the age of eighteen, he was only a fourth-level spiritualist. If he didn't focus on cultivation, he would never achieve great things.
When Mu Zhanxiao heard Mu Qingli say that she wanted to cancel the engagement, he was happier than anyone else. He decided to go to the palace tomorrow and would never let his granddaughter down.
"Leave this matter to me, and you just wait for good news tomorrow."
Mu Zhanxiao felt that the sooner the engagement was cancelled, the better, so he decided to go to the palace immediately.
After leaving Mu Qingli's study, he got on a carriage and headed for the palace.
The emperor looked at Mu Zhanxiao, who never came to visit him for no reason, and asked unhappily, "What's the matter, Lord Mu?"
Mu Zhanxiao bent his straight back slightly and bowed to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I have come here to cancel the engagement for my granddaughter. I hope Your Majesty will allow me to do so."
The emperor held a string of Buddhist beads in his hand, turning them one by one, his eyes unpredictable. Looking at Mu Zhanxiao's hunched body, he angrily threw the beads to the ground.
The string between the Buddhist beads broke instantly, and beads of all sizes fell to the ground, echoing continuously.
"How dare you! An engagement is no joke, can you just cancel it like that?"
The emperor's voice was filled with pressure, but Mu Zhanxiao seemed unaware of the emperor's pressure and continued, "The Fourth Prince is an exceptional talent. My daughter Li Er feels unworthy of him. Please, Your Majesty, withdraw your decree granting him marriage."
The emperor looked at the stubborn Mu Zhanxiao and had no idea what to do with him, so he quietly asked Eunuch Xie to call Xie Jingxi over.
"Although I originally granted the marriage, my decision no longer counts. I must respect the opinions of the parties involved. Don't you agree, General Mu?"
"What your Majesty said is absolutely true."
Mu Zhanxiao knew in his heart that the Fourth Prince had no feelings for Li'er at all. When he heard the news of the broken engagement, he might be happier than himself.
Xie Jingxi was immersed in the gentleness of life at the moment, and Eunuch Xie finally found him.
"Fourth Prince, the Emperor has something to ask you to go to the Imperial Study."
Xie Jingxi didn't expect that Eunuch Xie would barge in. He looked very unhappy. He had just taken off his clothes and hadn't had time to play properly when he was called away.
But Eunuch Xie was someone close to the Emperor, so he couldn't vent his anger on him. Instead, he kicked the naked palace maid beside him and said, "Damn it! Get out!"
The palace maid's clothes were on the ground. With red eyes, she picked up the clothes and rushed out. She knew that the Fourth Prince would never favor her again.
Eunuch Xie looked straight ahead, as if he couldn't see the live sex show going on before his eyes.
Xie Jingxi followed Eunuch Xie to the imperial study with resentment in his heart, but when he heard the news that he and Mu Qingli had broken off their engagement, the unhappiness in his heart instantly disappeared.
"Father, I agree to cancel the engagement. I don't like Mu Qingli."
The emperor stared at Xie Jingxi and cursed him in his heart, "What a fool!" He had originally asked the Fourth Prince to come here to restrain Mu Zhanxiao, and at least make him pay a price.
I didn't expect that my eldest son was so stupid that he couldn't even see this and actually agreed to cancel the engagement.
Not only that, Xie Jingxi also applied for a marriage: "Father, my son's heart is with Mu Qinglan from the General's Mansion. Please grant me this marriage."
The emperor naturally ignored him and picked up the memorial on the table and smashed it on his head: "How foolish! I will not agree to it!"
Xie Jingxi knelt directly on the ground: "Father, please agree!"
The emperor was so angry that he coughed up blood, but in order not to embarrass himself in front of Mu Zhanxiao, he swallowed it back.
He closed his eyes and waved his hand: "I agree to cancel the engagement. Tomorrow, the Fourth Prince will personally go to the General's Mansion to exchange the token. I am tired, you can all withdraw."
Watching the two men leave, the emperor dismissed the servants, spat out a mouthful of blood on the desk, with a hint of anger in his eyes.
The dawn light gradually penetrated through the clouds, and a beam of sunlight sprinkled on the earth. Xie Jingxi walked into the general's mansion with his servant in a high-profile manner. After exchanging the token, he left in a high-profile manner, with Mu Qinglan in his arms when he left.
The news of Mu Qingli's broken engagement spread like wildfire in the capital, with most people gloating over his misfortune and even insulting him.
Yun Ling was furious when she heard those negative comments: "It was clearly the young lady who wanted to break off the engagement, so why are there rumors that the Fourth Prince doesn't like the young lady?"
Mu Qingli drank the porridge cooked by Yun Ling and said calmly, "Let them say whatever they want. Your daughter is going to Qingyun College anyway."
Seeing that her young lady didn't care about what others said, Yun Ling felt relieved. She took out a letter and handed it to her: "Miss, there's a letter from the young master."
Mu Qingchen originally sent a letter once a month, but this time it was delayed for a month. Mu Qingli didn't even bother to drink the porridge and immediately unfolded the letter.
"Li'er, how have you been recently? Do you miss me? I miss you a little. I've been in seclusion practicing recently. I've been suppressing myself and haven't made any breakthroughs before, but now I'm a sixth-level Spiritual Master. After I graduate, I'll be able to protect you! Next time I'm on vacation, I'll go back to see you."
Mu Qingli developed a sense of familiarity with this brother whom he had never met before, and suddenly wanted to meet him.
I wonder what my brother's reaction will be when I get into Qingyun College? Will he be proud?
Mu Qingli had never replied to a letter before, and she didn't plan to reply this time. She decided to give Mu Qingchen a surprise, and she also specifically told Grandpa Mu not to let the secret slip.
"The sect selection test will be held the day after tomorrow. I will continue to retreat and come out when the test is held."
