The female lead thought she had a "proud and arrogant" character script.

There is a wolf in front and a tiger behind.

After this meal, their last chance to escape was gone.

The four people targeted by Luo Qingcheng exchanged glances.

As Luo Qingcheng and Wan Qingqing were filled with doubt, they knelt down on the ground at the same time, weeping and saying, "Fairy, we only wanted to rob you, we didn't mean to take anyone's life!"

Luo Qingcheng: ? ? ?

The cultivation world is vast, and all sorts of people can be found there.

Before they even said anything, these people simply admitted defeat and went straight into the confession process?

But it always comes down to the same thing: "I know I was wrong, I won't do it again."

Luo Qingcheng stepped forward, her expression serious, and said to the four trembling people who were huddled together, thinking she was about to attack, "This won't do. You're not going to evoke any sympathy. I suppose this tactic didn't work before?"

Lianlian, still young, blurted out, "How did you know?"

The other three looked at her with disappointment and disdain.

It seemed as if her reply confirmed that what the four of them had just said was all an act.

But it was too late; Luo Qingcheng had already heard it.

Old Mu wiped away his tears and snot, his still handsome face filled with a look of grim determination. "Fairy, it was all my plan. They were forced into it by me. It has nothing to do with them. I, Mu Zi'en, will take full responsibility for my actions. Let them go. You can kill or torture them as you please, I will have no complaints!"

"Old Mu, don't say that!"

Lianlian raised her face; she did indeed have a face that evoked pity and affection.

The four of them wandered from place to place. As the only girl and the youngest, Lianlian was a completely spoiled child.

Seeing his most respected brother Mu looking like he was about to be slaughtered, he said indignantly, "We didn't do anything to you, why are you so relentless?"

Uncle Ma, the oldest of the group and who looked to be at least forty years old, quickly covered Lianlian's mouth and humbly said, "Fairy, she is still young and did not mean to offend you. Please forgive her."

Lianlian was unconvinced and struggled while glaring angrily at Luo Qingcheng and Wan Qing.

This made Lianlian's older brother very uneasy.

He's the only one in the group who can keep Lianlian in check.

Mu Xianruo shouted angrily, "Mu Xianlian, shut up!"

Lian Lian:......

Her brother actually called her by her full name...

The flags were lowered and the drums fell silent.

Mu Xianruo never caused trouble. With Mu Zien as the leader of the team, he was usually quiet and reserved. But he was not as clueless as his younger sister.

Of the four, Mu Zi'en was the most talented, but he wasn't far behind. There were two at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, Uncle Ma at the late-Foundation Establishment stage, and Mu Xianlian at the fifth level of Qi Refining. Yet, Mu Zi'en managed to get them to escape the moment they were discovered.

It can only mean one thing.

Of the two women before them, at least one possessed a cultivation level far exceeding that of the four of them.

Mu Xianruo cupped his hands and said, "My sister is ignorant. Please, Master, spare her. I am willing to give all the spirit stones I have."

Mu Xianlian's face turned pale.

Even if she was completely ignorant, she knew that the term "True Person" was used to refer to someone whose cultivation had reached the Golden Core stage.

If she really offended a Golden Core cultivator, that cultivator could crush her with one hand.

Now she really didn't dare to speak.

After watching the heartwarming scene of brother and sisterly affection unfold before him, Luo Qingcheng remained silent for a long time.

She only realized what was happening when she met Mu Xianruo's gaze, which was secretly observing her.

Is it her turn to perform?

Luo Qingcheng cleared his throat. "Well, I didn't say I was going to do anything to you."

The four people were on high alert: ...

Why are you spacing out?

I wasn't thinking about how to deal with those four reckless rogue cultivators who dared to set traps and ambush Golden Core cultivators.

Mu Zi'en tentatively asked, "Then, Master, what would you like?"

Luo Qingcheng slapped his arm. "Didn't I just tell you? Your acting is terrible. Your lines just now were completely unacceptable!"

Four people: Huh?

Wanqing burst out laughing.

She really liked Luo Qingcheng; every time Luo Qingcheng performed unexpectedly, she was filled with wonder.

Luo Qingcheng didn't quite understand why Senior Sister Wan was laughing, but it didn't matter.

She squatted down.

The four of them huddled together and shuffled backward. She followed, and the four of them huddled even tighter and shuffled backward, looking nervous, as if they were afraid that Luo Qingcheng would tear them apart at the slightest provocation.

Luo Qingcheng: ...

In a daze, she even thought she had dressed up as a pervert.

He said dejectedly, "Am I that scary?"

She has always been very kind.

They never bully the weak.

The four nodded.

Luo Qingcheng's expression turned serious, as if he were about to kill someone.

He hummed in response.

The four quickly shook their heads and smiled ingratiatingly at Luo Qingcheng.

Luo Qingcheng was even more dissatisfied.

Why do these people look like they're being coerced by her and dare not speak out?

It was Mu Zi'en, always quick-witted and eloquent, who saved the day: "It's not scary, it's not scary. The real person is so beautiful, how could she be scary?"

Luo Qingcheng was still dissatisfied: "Then why are you hiding?"

Mu Zien was speechless for a moment. He looked left and right and saw that Mu Xianruo, Mu Xianlian and Uncle Ma were all looking at him with hopeful eyes.

Mu Zi'en: ...

Forget it, I can't count on these three good-for-nothings.

He smiled broadly and said, "We are just humble people, aren't we just afraid of offending you?"

He gave a wry smile as he spoke.

Luo Qingcheng frowned, and instead of responding as Mu Zien expected, he asked, "Who said you were of lowly status?"

Mu Zien was taken aback.

He never expected that this prodigy who had broken through to the Golden Core stage at such a young age would pay attention to such a small sentence, which he might have just made up casually.

I didn't know how to answer for a while.

Wanqing, having watched the show unfold, said leisurely, "Since they are surnamed Mu, they may be related to the Mu family."

Luo Qingcheng was puzzled.

What Mu family?

Wanqing saw the confusion on her face and, thinking that Luo Qingcheng was brought back from the mortal realm by her senior brother, probably knew nothing about the native families of the cultivation world, she kindly explained, "The Mu family is an old cultivation family, but it was wiped out overnight more than ten years ago."

Wanqing looked them over carefully, "I didn't expect there to be some who slipped through the net."

Mu Zi'en clenched his fist.

At that moment, his aura was like a sharp sword about to be drawn, his eyes fixed on Wan Qingchu, and he gritted his teeth and asked, "Who are you?"

How could a branch family dare to directly announce to the entire cultivation world that they had destroyed the main family?

The version of events that spread to other parts of the cultivation world should be that the main branch of the Mu family was wiped out overnight by an unknown force because of a valuable treasure, and the branch family had no choice but to take over the main branch.

Wan Qingchu didn't care at all and continued to say to Luo Qingcheng, "Since he just said that his name is Mu Zi'en, then he should be the son of the former head of the main family. However, the branch family that has taken over the Mu family claimed that all the members of the main family had been killed and there was no one who could succeed the head of the main family, so he had no choice but to take over."

Luo Qingcheng was surprised, "Isn't the cultivation world all about strength? What about main families and branch families?"

Did she accidentally stumble into a palace intrigue novel?

Mu Xianlian was even more surprised than her, "What? There's actually such a thing?"

Luo Qingcheng: ...

Aren't you involved? What are you surprised about?

Mu Xianruo patted Mu Xianlian's head and said, "Lianlian, shut up."

Mu Xianlian: "...Oh."
