Tang Wan’er shook her head helplessly. She felt that it was very inappropriate for Mu Xuan to be involved in this matter. Mu Xuan was an aloof person in the Silver Moon Palace, and the dirty schemes should be kept away from Mu Xuan.
“Qin Chu, you can only be wronged for now. My Master will not let them act recklessly.” Tang Wan’er looked at Qin Chu and said.
Qin Chu nodded. The situation had already arrived, what could he do? He could only take it one step at a time. Besides, he needed to meet the Grand Elder Xue of the Silver Moon Palace to inquire about the Holy Clan. The appearance of the Vermilion Bird Holy Clan more than ten years ago might be related to the battle where his chest was pierced.
“Qin Chu, what are you thinking? Don’t worry, you saved me. As long as I’m here, I’ll guarantee your safety.” Seeing Qin Chu deep in thought, Mu Xuan instinctively felt that Qin Chu was under pressure and made a promise.
“You’re overthinking. I’m not worried about anything. When things come, just deal with them. I’ve never been afraid of anything.” Qin Chu smiled.
As the beast carriage moved forward, Tang Wan’er told Qin Chu about the current situation of the Silver Moon Palace. The Silver Moon Palace Master was in charge, but the Grand Elder also had some prestige within the Silver Moon Palace, so some conflicts had erupted, with Mu Xuan being the core issue.
Qin Chu did not comment on these matters. These things had nothing to do with him. Were they going to kill him after bringing him back? Qin Chu felt that it wouldn’t go that far. He hadn’t done anything to offend the Silver Moon Palace. Whether it was the Silver Moon Palace Master or the Grand Elder, they already had status and position, so they wouldn’t act recklessly, as that would cause them to lose Face and reputation. As for other harm, if he didn’t die, then he was sorry, he would definitely get his revenge.
After traveling until nightfall, the group stopped to rest, as the Yao Beast pulling the carriage also needed to rest.
Qin Chu lit a fire, brewed a pot of tea, and then began to Cultivate in meditation. As for Zhou Mei and the others, he simply ignored them. There was no need to deal with unreasonable petty people; he would just react as situations arose.
“Qin Chu, there’s a spot inside the carriage, you can come up.” Mu Xuan called out to Qin Chu.
After turning to look at Mu Xuan, Qin Chu shook his head. Staying in the same beast carriage during the day was fine, but it would be inappropriate to stay in the same beast carriage at night.
Seeing that Mu Xuan was about to call Qin Chu again, Tang Wan’er shook her head and pulled Mu Xuan back into the beast carriage, “Xiaoqi, don’t call him anymore. He is a man of principles and won’t come in.”
Mu Xuan sighed, “It’s all because of me. He knew there would be trouble early on, so after saving me, he told me to go back by myself. It was I who insisted on pulling him along, which resulted in him getting into trouble.”
“Xiaoqi, don’t worry, things will be resolved. Master said she wanted to see him because he saved you, and our Silver Moon Palace needs to show its gratitude; this is repaying kindness. As for Grand Elder Xue, she probably listened to some people’s nonsense, but there are no facts, so whatever they fabricate is useless.” Tang Wan’er said.
“That damn Cold Star Imperial Dynasty, they went to Nanyan State to stir up trouble, got beaten back, and still have the Face to seek an opportunity to restore their Origin Qi from our Silver Moon Palace.” Mu Xuan cursed, very unhappy.
Zhou Mei and the others looked at Qin Chu with ill intent. Qin Chu had severely injured her Disciples, which was a blow to her Face.
Yang Tianfeng said nothing, remaining in a state of meditation and Cultivation.
After dawn, the group packed up and continued their journey.
Qin Chu remained silent, simply Cultivating in meditation.
Everyone had a different view of Qin Chu’s quietness. Yang Tianfeng and Tang Wan’er felt it was confidence, courage, and temperament, but in the eyes of Zhou Mei and others, it was merely feigning composure. However, Zhou Mei and the others did not target him, mainly because there was no opportunity, as Tang Wan’er and Mu Xuan kept a close eye on Qin Chu. Furthermore, Yang Tianfeng was Tang Wan’er and Mu Xuan’s Junior Martial Uncle, so if a conflict arose, Yang Tianfeng would definitely side with Tang Wan’er and Mu Xuan.
Three days passed, and the group arrived at Silver Moon City. Behind Silver Moon City was Silver Moon Mountain, where the Silver Moon Palace was located.
Without staying in Silver Moon City, the group arrived at the Silver Moon Palace’s mountain gate and then at the Silver Moon Palace’s main hall.
There were many on-duty Disciples in the Silver Moon Palace’s main hall, but no high-ranking officials.
“It’s very late today. Tomorrow, inform the Palace Master and Grand Elder Xue to come to the main hall to handle this matter.” Yang Tianfeng said.
“Alright, someone, take him to the dungeon and lock him up!” After hearing Yang Tianfeng’s words, Zhou Mei pointed at Qin Chu.
“How dare you!” Mu Xuan drew her sword.
Qin Chu looked at Zhou Mei and sneered, “I’ve seen many bitches, but I’ve never seen one as bitchy as you. Who do you think you are? What right do you have to imprison me?”
“You have a lot of guts!” Zhou Mei’s expression changed. Qin Chu’s insult was too harsh.
“I just have a lot of guts. Even standing in the main hall of the Silver Moon Palace, I have a lot of guts. Can you? If you were in the main hall of the Cold Star Imperial Dynasty, would you dare to speak loudly?” Qin Chu sneered. He utterly despised people like Zhou Mei, who completely relied on the power of the Silver Moon Palace to show off their individual might.
“You deserve to die!” Zhou Mei drew her sword.
“Am I afraid of you?” Qin Chu reached his right hand behind him, and the Azure Spirit Sword was drawn out.
“Enough, what are you doing? Elder Zhou, may I ask, why are you imprisoning Qin Chu in the dungeon? For what reason, what charge?” Yang Tianfeng asked. He also felt that Zhou Mei was going too far.
“Grand Elder Xue wants to see him, what if he runs away?” Zhou Mei’s expression was a bit ugly. After taking on this task, she had encountered obstacles everywhere. Tang Wan’er and Mu Xuan didn’t give her any Face, and now Yang Tianfeng’s tone was also off.
“Did Grand Elder Xue say to imprison him? Imprisoning someone without any reason is unreasonable.” Yang Tianfeng said.
Mu Xuan reached out and tugged on Qin Chu’s robe sleeve, “Let’s go!”
Qin Chu glanced at Zhou Mei, sheathed his Azure Spirit Sword, and then left with Mu Xuan. He didn’t want to look at Zhou Mei and the others for even a second.
Zhou Mei’s eyes were filled with murderous intent, but with Yang Tianfeng and Tang Wan’er present, she couldn’t do anything.
In the Silver Moon Palace, the Grand Elder’s status was as high as the Palace Master’s. Who had more power depended on individual ability. If the Palace Master was strong, the Grand Elder’s power would be weakened, and vice versa if the Palace Master was weak.
Below the Grand Elder and the Palace Master, the Elders held the highest status, but there were some exceptions. For example, Tang Wan’er and Mu Xuan, they were Disciples of the Silver Moon Palace, but not ordinary Disciples; they were Palace Master’s Disciples. Tang Wan’er was even the Young Palace Master, so she truly dared to not give an Elder Face. Of course, Elders also varied in strength; a Grand Elder had great power, while someone like Zhou Mei was just a follower of the Grand Elder.
Mu Xuan and Tang Wan’er led Qin Chu away from the main hall of the Silver Moon Palace, to a side peak, to Mu Xuan’s residence.
“You rest here. I’ll see who dares to cause trouble.” Mu Xuan’s eyes were still full of anger.
“No one will touch me now. The real show will probably be tomorrow.” Qin Chu said.
