Chapter 229: Chapter 198: The Woman from the Past_1
Carrying the blood of the Human Clan?
And looks very much like himself?
What the heck is happening!!!
Xu Mu was a bit dumbfounded; he could never have envisioned this situation even in his dreams.
While he had been in the imperial capital for over a decade, he had hardly any contact with the pureblooded Imperial Clan, let alone have the opportunity to father any offspring.
If he had to mention someone he had been close to, it would be Princess Ming Ling Yulan of the Imperial Clan from decades ago.
However, they had only been physically close, with the most contact being limited to touching hands; it wouldn’t have been possible for them to have had a child.
“Could it just be a coincidence?”
In this vast world, anything was possible. Although the chances were slim, it wasn’t impossible.
Noway it could be!
How slim must the chances be!
The odds were equivalent to winning the jackpot ten times in a row with lottery tickets.
This mixed-blood member of the Imperial Clan is definitely related to me!
Xu Mu thought to himself.
Though he was shocked, he maintained a calm exterior, walked to the podium, and knocked on the desk—there was no blackboard here.
The classroom was much like the private academies of humans, yet was far more luxurious and spacious than ordinary ones.
At the sound of knocking, all the young boys and girls turned to look.
It was then that Xu Mu noticed a majority of the students in the classroom were of mixed blood, with only a few pureblooded ones. Their cultivation stages were all low, none surpassing Qi Cultivation.
This must be a class for the dregs then!
Xu Mu thought to himself.
However, this was only natural, as the genuinely exceptional members of the Imperial family wouldn’t have time to learn music. Only those descendants with no talent who learned these somewhat useless skills and knowledge, their future was more about management.
Occasionally, these individuals would also be used as tools for marriage alliances, which was considered making use of waste!
Seeing everyone looking at him, Xu Mu introduced himself, “I’m Xu Er, your music teacher from now on! Of course, you can also ask me questions besides music, as long as I can answer them!”
“Nowyou all give a self-introduction! Starting from you!”
Just as Xu Mu’s second self was familiarizing himself with the environment of the imperial palace while inquiring about the identity of a young boy, he suddenly encountered an unexpected problem.
“The impudent brat who killed my pet! Come to the place where we first met! Otherwise, your daughter will die!”
After reading the message in the jade slip via his Divine Intent, Xu Mu’s face turned ice-cold, and he crushed the jade slip.
“Where was Ling’er kidnapped?”
Xu Mu asked his eldest son, Xu Sheng, who was standing before him.
“It was on the way back to our White River City from the Liyang Sect!”
“Bring me the person who sent the message. I’ll interrogate him personally!”
“Yes!”
Xu Sheng nodded and immediately summoned the outside man to come in. “Greetings, Ancestor!”
A middle-aged man in a Yellow Robe, with an anxious expression, walked in. He didn’t dare to raise his head, and after taking a few steps forward, he knelt down.
Although Xu Mu rarely made an appearance, his fame was renowned in White River City. Everyone respected him as a god.
“Explain what happened at that time.”
Xu Mu waved his sleeve and sat back on the chair.
“Yes! After we sold the goods with the young miss, we took the Flying Boat back from the Cloud Peak Mountain Range. Halfway through, several Tier Five flying monster beasts suddenly attacked us!
The young miss fought them off herself, but during the fight, the Flying Boat was severely damaged and couldn’t fly anymore. The young miss asked us to rest and told us that she had already contacted the market city, and an Artifact Refiner would come for repairs!
We spent the night in the forest. The following day, the young miss and her cousin were not coming out of the tent. After calling out several times without receiving a response, I cautiously went in to check. I searched every corner of the tent, but there was no sign of the young miss or her cousin. The only thing found was this jade slip!
Every word I’ve said is authentic! Please judge wisely, Ancestor!”
The middle-aged cultivator trembled as he spoke.
As a leader protecting the merchant team, he had no clue about the missing mistress, which was a serious dereliction of duty. He feared that Xu Mu would vent his anger and slap him to death.
While Xu Mu kept silent, his aura as a Golden Core Stage cultivator had scared the man out of his wits.
“You may leave now.”
Xu Mu didn’t make things difficult for him and waved him off with his hand.
The middle-aged man is a cultivator nurtured by the Xu family, and his strength is even less than that of Xu Ling and Zhang Yu. If the other party could easily kidnap Xu Ling and Zhang Yu, how could he possibly notice it?
