Chapter 1011: Chapter 96: You Are Not Wronged!

At dusk, Chu Nian came again to the side palace where Mu Qingge was.

Mu Qingge was resting on a chair. In the twilight, seeing her walk from the backlight, she couldn’t help but squint her eyes. It was only when she came closer that Mu Qingge sat up from the chair. ℴ

"Sorry to disturb your rest." Chu Nian walked to Mu Qingge’s side, revealing a shy smile.

Mu Qingge slowly shook her head, "No disturbance at all."

Chu Nian nodded lightly, walked to the side and sat down. Her gaze wandered for a moment before she looked at Mu Qingge and said, "I’ve arranged everything according to your instructions. Now, we just wait for the bait to bite."

Mu Qingge nodded and asked, "Have you gone to find him? Have you found him?"

Chu Nian’s eyes darkened, she nodded with pursed lips. "Among those who went to the Wuhua Palace to celebrate my father’s birthday, he was indeed there. But now, those few people have not woken up. As you said, I have no evidence. However, I have already sent people to secretly monitor them, paying attention to their every move."

Mu Qingge smiled slightly and reclined back, not asking any further questions.

Her attitude made Chu Nian curious. She couldn’t help but ask, "Why don’t you ask what my father thinks about this matter?"

Mu Qingge casually said, "I don’t care about these things; as long as I can clear my name soon, it’s enough."

Her indifference made Chu Nian feel more that Mu Qingge was indeed innocent.

With an apologetic look in her eyes, Chu Nian said to Mu Qingge, "Don’t mind, my father is a bit suspicious, but he doesn’t mean to target you. In fact, he values you highly."

After a pause, she continued, "After the truth is found, I will have him personally clear your name, proving you have no connection with the Mu Clan."

Mu Qingge glanced at her, and Chu Nian, under her clear gaze, suddenly felt a sense of guilt. Just when she was a bit flustered and didn’t know what to do, Mu Qingge asked, "I really don’t understand, what on earth did the Mu Clan do? Why is this surname like a symbol of crime in the Four Seas Divine Land."

Her question made Chu Nian frown slightly, explaining in a low voice, "By the time I was born, the matter of the Mu Clan was already like this. What I know is that the Mu Clan colluded with the Demon Clan, intending to dominate the Four Seas Divine Land. Eventually, their conspiracy was exposed and were annihilated by the joint efforts of several Divine Domain God Emperors. The people of Mu Clan have since become unforgivable criminals of the Divine Clan."

Mu Qingge’s eyebrows arched slightly.

It was the first time she heard someone from the Divine Land express their views on the Mu Clan. ’Colluding with the Demon Clan? The War God of the Divine Clan, yet accused of conspiring with the enemies to dominate the Four Seas Divine Land... Hah, if the Mu Clan truly had such ambitions, would there still be other Divine Domains in the Four Seas Divine Land? Such nonsense, utter lies.’

"So that’s how it is. If it’s indeed true, then it really is an unforgivable crime." Mu Qingge said lightly, without any emotional fluctuations.

Perhaps the ancestors of the Mu Clan a thousand years ago did not collude with the Demon Clan.

But, she, Mu Qingge, a thousand years later, is destined to be entwined with the Demon Clan.

Mu Qingge coldly laughed. If one day, these Divine Clans come to attack her using such hypocritical excuses, what should she do?

’What to do? If Heaven blocks me, I shall defy Heaven! If Earth blocks me, I shall destroy Earth. If God blocks me... then I shall slay Gods and annihilate Clans!’ Mu Qingge’s eyes became sharp.

However, in the next moment, everything returned to calm.

Mu Qingge took out two bottles of wine from her space and held up one to Chu Nian, "Join me for a drink?"

Chu Nian shook her head, politely declined, "I still have tasks at hand, not suitable for drinking, you go ahead." Then she thought for a moment, raised her hand and waved it before her, an Ancient Zither appeared.

"This Wutong Zither is made from an Ancient Parasol Tree of hundreds of thousands of years old. I heard from my father that this was my mother’s cherished item." Chu Nian’s fingers gently plucked the strings, discordant notes filled the room.

Mu Qingge’s eyes flashed, thinking to herself, ’Hou once said, Wutongs only exist within the Phoenix Clan in the Demon Forest. Every Wutong accompanies a Phoenix. And that female corpse in the Little Leaf Pavilion, so highly valued by the Wuhua God Emperor, from the Beast Clan, resembling Chu Nian... Could it be that Chu Nian’s mother is from the Beast Clan?’

"Let me play the zither for you for entertainment, lest you drink alone and feel bored." Chu Nian’s words interrupted Mu Qingge’s thoughts and pulled her back.

Without waiting for Mu Qingge’s agreement, Chu Nian began to play.

She played the piece Mu Qingge heard in the Immortal Dew Pavilion. At that time, Chu Nian played even better, capable of moving the heart and cleansing the soul.

Mu Qingge listened seriously, drinking wine, and enjoying.

However, at this moment, she did not know what significance Chu Nian’s playing represented. Nor did she understand, what it meant in the Phoenix Clan when playing Wutong for the opposite sex.

...

Late at night, those who went to the Wuhua Palace to celebrate the Wuhua God Emperor’s birthday were all trapped in a section of the palace.

In fact, the palace was very large, and the area of imprisonment was not small.

But, so many people losing their freedom, trapped here without knowing when they would be let out, made everyone’s mood irritable, with no heart for enjoyment.

In an unnoticed corner, Mu Tianyin was together with Mu Lin and Mu Shan.

Mu Shan frowned and said, "Young Master, now the Wuhua Domain has sealed the mountain; all entrances and exits are tightly guarded. The two we left outside to respond likely can’t help."

"Yes, Young Master. Today, I also inquired a piece of news extremely unfavorable to us." Mu Lin added, looking at Mu Shan before speaking to Mu Tianyin, "It is said that today Chu Nian Princess brought back several unconscious people from Wuhua City."

When he said this, Mu Shan’s heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition arose.

Mu Tianyin also lifted his gloomy and terrifying face to look at Mu Shan, coldly questioning, "You left them alive!"

Mu Shan’s heart panicked, and he lowered his head to Mu Tianyin.

Mu Lin timely intervened, "Young Master, this is no time for blame. The priority is considering, if those people wake, we would be thoroughly exposed."

This was the deadlock!

Mu Tianyin’s eyes were severely chilling, murderous eyes staring at Mu Shan. Truly wishing he could split him in two.

"We will leave overnight." Mu Tianyin said in a deep voice. Otherwise, if those people wake, and the Wuhua God Emperor learns everything from them, it would be too late to leave. Facing the God Emperor with current strength... Mu Tianyin had no courage to fight.

"But, how do we leave?" Mu Lin couldn’t help but ask.

Mu Tianyin sneered, "I have my ways.

...

In the side palace where Mu Qingge resided, Chu Nian had already left. She held the God-piercing Mirror, showing the image of Mu Tianyin and the three of them. Upon seeing them in the mirror, she showed a faint smile and said lightly, "Mu Tianyin, you are not unjustly treated."
