Chapter 1196: Mu Huan’s Threat I
Mu Huan looked at Old Master Mu with a cold gaze and an expressionless face.
“The Mu family is currently in such a dangerous predicament. I cannot stand aside and just watch from the sidelines. Today, I have come to help the Mu family. You do not have the right to chase me away!”
Old Master Mu’s face turned pale. His good intentions had been twisted into ill intentions. Since she had such thoughts, then there was no need for him to say anything more.
He had already reached his limit of compassion toward Chen Qingyan’s two children!
The eyes of the uncles in the Mu family that were originally dim, lit up when they heard Mu Huan’s words.
However… the Mu family was facing unprecedented dangers this time. Did Mu Huan really have the ability and sufficient cultivation to help the Mu family?
Mu Ling did not have much hatred or disgust toward Mu Huan as she was still his blood and flesh.
Back then when Nan Xian had treated him the way he did, he was able to endure that. Even when Mu Xi was such a jerk, he was still able to turn a blind eye to his actions. Through these, one could see that he had quite a bit of tolerance toward his own blood and flesh.
Currently, everything that had gone wrong was all Chen Qingyan’s fault. These two children were all innocent.
Mu Ling was just about to call out to Mu Huan when he saw Suyi who was calm as usual from the corner of his eye. In the end, he swallowed back the words that were at the tip of his tongue.
Suyi did not like Chen Qingyan and disliked these two children even more. So… if he wanted Suyi to forgive him, he definitely could not display any care or concern toward Mu Huan now.
Mu Huan, however, was looking at Mu Ling in expectation. Her face fell and turned cold. She suddenly recalled the words Mu Xi had said a few days back and involuntarily clenched her fist as she sneered.
“Mu Ling, my mother has always been affectionate toward you. Yet, you have almost beaten her to death for another woman. Now, the sins the Mu family is bearing is the retribution you deserve!”
That was right. This was retribution!
It was a good thing that heaven was not blind, allowing her to obtain Lord Jia Xin’s affection and thus obtaining this opportunity… to let these people who had badly hurt them—mother and daughter —compensate!
“Huan’er!” Mu Ling’s face changed and carried a hint of anger. “Did you just shout at me? When did you become so disrespectful?”
Mu Huan’s lips curled up sardonically. “You have abandoned my mother for an outsider who has long left the Mu family and even tormented her to such an extent. Do you really consider me your daughter? Today, I am here to tell the Mu family that I have the ability to protect the Mu family, but that depends on what the Mu family does!”
Just as she finished speaking, a few figures appeared and stood behind Mu Huan.
These people all had cold, stern looks, just like an icy, watchful sculpture. Their gazes carried appalling murderous intent.
What was more shocking was that these people’s cultivation… were all of Holy Warrior tier! Even the worst amongst them was at Intermediate Holy Warrior tier! There were even two who were at Advanced Holy Warrior tier!
Mu Ling finally understood why Mu Huan had such courage to speak the words she had spoken. Immediately, he looked at Mu Huan’s belly.
There was a slight bulge at her abdomen. As it was not obvious, he had initially thought that she had gained weight. It was only then, Mu Ling noticed that Mu Huan had been putting her hand on her belly this whole time as a sneer hung on her face.
It was so glaring!
“Huan’er, you are pregnant?”
These words were like thunder on a sunny day, shocking all the people present.
Even for a snobbish man like Mu Ling, his eyes were full of fury at this moment.
He had indeed thought of using Mu Huan to forge a marital alliance, but now, Mu Huan was not even married! Getting pregnant before marriage, where would this leave the Mu family’s reputation? How could he bear this?
