Chapter 16 (2/2)

“Grandpa.” Mu Ge knitted her brows. She did not want to hear that. She wanted to find out the reason why she could not cultivate.

However, Mu Xiong did not want to continue talking about it. He patted her shoulders and said, “Ge’er, some things aren’t meant to be. Just take it as a punishment God gave to Grandpa for killing people all my life.”

Mu Ge was speechless.

“Oh, right. I’ve already captured that He family’s bastard. If he didn’t spout nonsense in front of you, you wouldn’t have taken this risk. After you go back, you can unleash your anger all you want, but you can’t kill him,” said Mu Xiong suddenly.

Mu Ge was dazed and did not continue.

Without any explanation, she knew that this person with the last name ‘He’ was the person that instigated her to go to the barren land. Originally, she planned to take revenge against him herself, but she did not expect Mu Xiong to beat her to it.

“Ge’er, ‘I’m very upset about this, but your decision today made me proud. You’ve grown up after experiencing this incident. Alright then, go back earlier and rest. After you return, stop seeing Prince Rui. Our Mu family won’t be involved in the royal family’s struggles.” After he finished his sentence, Mu Xiong walked out of the tent and left Mu Ge alone.

Once Mu Xiong left, Mu Qingge’s soul appeared.

Actually, she was beside Mu Ge all along, but like what she said, nobody else could see her other than Mu Ge.

“You seem part of the Mu family even more than me,” said Mu Qingge in a low voice, as she stared at the direction Mu Xiong left in. She could not help but admit that she was shocked when Mu Ge accepted the punishment wholeheartedly and even took the initiative to increase her punishment and consoled the spirit.

When she saw the satisfaction in her Grandpa’s eyes, she then understood how ridiculous her previous actions were. The Mu family’s descendant was definitely not an arrogant and domineering rich man’s son, but a noble and brave person, even if she could not cultivate and was destined to be a good-for-nothing.

“Old Master doesn’t know your true identity?” Mu Ge asked with her brows raised and did not answer Mu Qingge’s words.

Mu Qingge kept quiet for a while before saying, “Grandpa thinks that I’ve been the Mu family’s boy descendant all along.”
