Chapter 394: Only he’s allowed to bully (2/2)

Since Mu Chaoran was still wasting words here, it proved that he wasn’t really going to tell his mother. Most likely, he wanted something from Mu Linger herself. After making sure that Gu Qishao was well hidden away, Mu Linger simply strode forward until she was standing at the cave entrance. As expected, there was Mu Chaoran waiting by himself outside.

“Whether it’s words or farts, do it quickly!” Mu Linger said in a frosty tone.

“Feral children like you with no mothers to raise them have poor breeding as expected!” Mu Chaoran shot back.

Mu Linger narrowed her eyes. “Just what do you want?”

“I want your 30 books of medicine notes, not one book less! Otherwise…” Mu Chaoran came straight to the point.

Mu Linger sucked in a cold breath. “You plunderer!” Those were her treasures, a collection of her knowledge every since she was young. Moreover, many of the pages had records of her personal secret formulas! Even one book was priceless, much less all 30.

“Just treat it like a robbery, then,” Mu Chaoran shrugged his shoulders as if he was helpless to change the fact.

“And if I refuse?” Mu Linger asked coldly.

“Heheh, that’s fine too! I can tell my mother right now, or…” Mu Chaoran thought it over before he grinned. “Fine, it’s a good thing you’re my little sister. I’ll give you a chance. If you kneel in front of me and admit that your pharmacy skills are inferior to mine, I’ll pretend none of this ever happened today. Nor will I tell anyone you brought an outsider into our medicinal fields.”

What a beastly bully, he’s looting a burning house!

Mu Chaoran had simply come today to torment her! If he told everything to his mother, she’d make such a fuss that father would be unhappy, which didn’t benefit either mother or son. Since he couldn’t really touch her, he could at least try humiliating her once to kill her spirits a bit!

Mu Linger clenched her hands into fists, her chest heaving. She had always avoided and yielded to this brother, but he still couldn’t tolerate her existence. Everyone said that Heaven envied the great, but the truth was that humans were the ones who got jealous!

“And if I don’t?” Mu Linger asked again, still cold.

Mu Chaoran simply started shouting out loud. “Someone come, ah! Come…”

“You shut up!” Mu Linger grew anxious. Aside from father, everyone else in the Mu Clan wanted to hand her over to the Medical Materials Association for an explanation! She couldn’t afford the risk right now when she needed to hunt for ingredients.

“What, you’ve thought it through?” Mu Chaoran smiled smugly.

Mu Linger grit her teeth. She didn’t want to agree, but…

“This gentleman has limits with his patience!” Mu Chaoran pushed.

Mu Linger shot him a death glare and prepared to kneel, but a red shadow suddenly flew out of the cave. With lightning-quick speeds, Gu Qishao landed behind Mu Chaoran before the latter saw his face clutched his neck with a fair white hand.

“Don’t kill him!” Mu Linger grew anxious. There were plenty of incidents involving siblings hurting each other in the Mu Clan, but she didn’t want such blood on her own hands. Otherwise, she would’ve told Qi gege to silence Mu Chaoran long ago instead of incurring such trouble.

Gu Qishao’s lips curved up into a cold smile. Ignoring Mu Linger’s pleas, he gradually sank his nails into Mu Chaoran’s flesh.

“Don’t! I didn’t see a thing!” Mu Chaoran was scared to death. But very soon, he found himself unable to speak at all. Fresh blood trickled down his neck as needle-like pain pierced through his skin. Every time he tried to talk, it only caused him acute agony.

“I’m the only one allowed to bully this lass. Remember that,” Gu Qishao’s voice was so low that it seemed to come from the depths of hell itself. He had always tormented Mu Linger, but he would never allow anyone else the right. That was his personal prerogative.

Mu Chaoran was terrified, his body trembling in fear as he shot Mu Linger pleading looks for help. Mu Linger hadn’t heard what Gu Qishao said just then, but she was scared as well. “Qi gege, he’s still my big brother!”

Gu Qishao tossed Mu Chaoran harshly to the side and warned, “If you dare to speak about today, see what happens then!”

Mu Chaoran knew martial arts as well, so he understand the gravity of the threat. “I didn’t see anything! Not a thing!” he half crawled, half ran away.

Mu Linger finally released a breath of relief. “Qi gege, you’re still the smart one. A single warning like this will keep him away for half a year.”

As long as she could help Qi gege find his ingredients by then, she didn’t care what kind of punishment the Medical Materials Association would give her. If she wanted to eke an existence in Medicine City for the future, facing the consequences would be inevitable one day.

Gu Qishao slowly cleaned off his hands and said, “Just then, who did you say had the Bear Chuan?”
