Mu Chen looked in the direction that the Balrog Commander had escaped. ”You could have left him to me. I can handle him,” Mu Chen said as he turned around to face Qing Shuang. He could tell that Qing Shuang was putting up a false front, as she had exhausted her strength.
Qing Ling, who was standing beside Qing Shuang, nodded in agreement. If she had heard these words from Mu Chen earlier, she would have mocked him. However, after seeing the means he had displayed, she was convinced of his strength.
Qing Shuang's face turned pale again as she curled up her lips and said, ”The Balrog Commander is afraid of you. He did not run away because of me.” Although Qing Shuang was a prideful person, she knew her own ability. If Mu Chen could tell that she was putting up a false front, the powerful Balrog Commander would be able to see through her as well. He had chosen to run away, as Mu Chen had put him under too much pressure. He did not have the confidence to deal with Mu Chen and be distracted by her at the same time.
When Mu Chen heard it, he simply smiled and shook his head. He did not dwell on this and asked, ”How are you feeling?”
”I should be able to recover after taking a rest,” Qing Shuang replied. After all, she was a Complete Earthly Sovereign, and those who were at this level had a strong will to live. ”Thank you for your help,” she said softly as she looked at Mu Chen. She knew that if Mu Chen had not appeared in time, she and Qing Ling would have been in a sorry state. She had experienced the Balrog Commander's brutality.
Mu Chen waved his hand and said flatly, ”Before this, you had offered to help me as well. Let's consider things even.” Having said that, he turned around and got ready to leave.
”Mu Chen, let's travel together. We do not know how many top powers from the Extraterritorial Race have come to the Four Sacred Tower. If we travel together, we can look out for one another,” Qing Ling said hastily as she saw Mu Chen getting ready to make a move.
She had been scared out of her wits by the earlier encounter. Qing Shuang had not fully recovered from her injuries, and if they should come across another top power from the Extraterritorial Race, they would be in a dire situation.
Mu Chen raised his brows. Although Qing Shuang would be a great help once she recovered from her injuries, he was not used to traveling with the people whom he did not trust.
”If you are interested, we can provide you with some information about the Budur Ancient Clan, including… your mother,” Qing Shuang said, after she pondered for a moment.
Mu Chen stopped moving. He then waved his hand and said, ”Let's travel together then.” He waved his sleeve, and spiritual light surged out. It turned into a streamer and wrapped up Qing Shuang and Qing Ling. They then turned into three shadows and shot out.
…
After keeping silent for a long while, Mu Chen asked as they traveled, ”How is my mother doing?”
”Aunt Jing is fine,” Qing Shuang and Qing Ling said, after they looked at each other.
Mu Chen sneered. ”How can she be fine when she has been imprisoned!?”
Qing Shuang shook her head and said, ”You are not aware of Aunt Jing's status in the Budur Ancient Clan. Given her strength, even the First Elder is unable to tame her.
”Recently, the First Elder and Aunt Jing had some conflicts. During their confrontation, Aunt Jing took over control of the Budur Ancient Clan's Fortify Clan Grand Array, and the First Elder had no choice but to give in to her. Her request was for the Budur Ancient Clan not to send out any Heavenly Sovereigns to deal with you.”
Qing Shuang looked at Mu Chen and said, ”Aunt Jing chose to be locked up because of you. If she had not gone willingly, the Budur Ancient Clan would have paid a high price locking her up by force.”
Mu Chen was shocked. He suddenly recalled that back then, he had barged into the ancestral land of the Budur Ancient Clan. At the crucial moment, his mother had secretly helped him and sent him away safely from the ancestral land.
”No wonder no Heavenly Sovereigns have attacked me 'til now, even when the Budur Ancient Clan saw me. My mother has been secretly helping me.” Mu Chen had mixed feelings, and he was filled with warmth. From infancy, he had never had the chance of enjoying a cuddle from his mother. However, his mother had been protecting him in some other ways in a place that he did not know of. She had given him her unconditional love and care.
Mu Chen curled up his lips and asked flatly, ”Why do you keep saying that my mother belongs to your Qing lineage, and yet you allow her to be imprisoned?”
