Chapter 152 Mu Yun Asks for Help

Just as he reached the courtyard, Mu Yun ran into Mu Xin. Seeing Mu Yun's dejected look, Mu Xin couldn't help but teased him, "Mu Yun, why are you like this so early in the morning? Did the prince scold you?"

"Hey, Mu Xin? Great! Save me!" Mu Yun's eyes lit up when he saw Mu Xin, and he grabbed Mu Xin's arm tightly as if he had seen a savior. Among the thirty-six iron-blooded riders, Mu Xin was the smartest and most resourceful.

"What happened?" Mu Xin looked at Mu Yun's nervous expression and asked curiously.

"Mu Xin, brother, I'm in trouble. Please give me some advice." Mu Yun pleaded.

"Hey, Mu Yun, let go of your hand! If you have something to say, just say it!"

"I'm just telling you, don't tell anyone else, otherwise the prince will kill you and me." Mu Yun looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he lowered his voice and spoke.

"Then don't tell me, I don't know anything." Mu Xin looked at Mu Yun's sneaky look and thought that it must be something bad, so he wanted to slip away.

"Why are you leaving? I've helped you a lot over the years, right? Now it's time for you to repay me." Mu Yun was unwilling to let Mu Xin leave and held her tightly.

"Then tell me quickly. I have something to report to the prince." Mu Xin sighed helplessly. He also realized that Mu Yun was really in trouble.

"This is what happened..." Mu Yun secretly told the King of the Northwest everything he had done to keep an eye on the young prince and Qing Yi, and then said with a sad face that the prince was now furious and wanted him to go find the young prince.

Mu Xin understood everything. He had witnessed Qing Yi's rescue of the young prince three years ago, and he even knew a bit about Ming Yue's affairs. But he had never imagined that what had once been a life-saving favor would develop into such a relationship. The young prince was of noble status, so how could the King of the Northwest tolerate such a thing?

"What should we do? Mu Xin, what if the little prince comes and quarrels with the prince? Don't you know our prince's temper?" Mu Yun looked at Mu Xin with a worried look on his face.

"You go find the young prince. Don't tell me the reason. I will go to see the prince." Mu Xin said as if he didn't care.

"Ah? That's it? The prince..." Seeing Mu Xin speaking so calmly, Mu Yun couldn't help but doubt in his heart, would this work?

"Don't worry, I will persuade the prince."

"Ah, don't tell the prince that I told you!" Mu Yun was still worried and reminded him again.

"I understand." Mu Xin smiled, turned around and left.

"Thank you! I'll treat you to a drink later." Mu Yun finally felt relieved.

Just as Mu Xin was about to leave, Mu Yun suddenly called him: "Wait, Mu Xin."

"What's wrong again?" Mu Xin stopped and asked helplessly.

"The prince only arranged for me to follow up on the little prince's matter. If you go and tell him, will he know that I leaked the information?" Mu Yun was still a little worried.

"Oh, don't worry, I have my own explanation. I won't tell the prince that I learned it from you." Mu Xin looked at Mu Yun with amusement. It was rare for this kid to be so timid.

"Okay, don't tell anyone what I told you!" Mu Yun was finally relieved. He looked at Mu Xin's departing back and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your Highness, Mu Xin requests to see you." Mu Xin stood outside the study and said loudly.

"Come in!" The King of the Northwest was in a very bad mood, but when he heard it was Mu Xin, he let him into the study.

Although the King of the Northwest had been furious just now and had asked Mu Yun to bring Qing Yu, after calming down, he became worried again. What should he say when she comes? How could his beloved child be led astray by that brat? How should he persuade Qing Yu when she comes? And how should he get Qing Yi to leave?

"Your Highness, I have already interrogated the people from Beiliang Kingdom who were captured a few days ago, and I have come to report." Mu Xin spoke respectfully about military affairs.

"Yeah." The King of the Northwest responded, but he was still thinking about Ye Qingyu and Qing Yi, with a gloomy expression.

Mu Xin saw the expression on the King of the Northwest's face, but pretended not to see it and reported the results of the interrogation in detail.

"Mu Xin, I know you are smart. Please help me analyze this matter." The King of the Northwest was silent for a moment and said slowly.

"Your Highness, please speak." Mu Xin had a plan in mind after hearing this.

The King of the Northwest recounted the story of Ye Qingyu and Qing Yi in detail. It was unknown how Mu Xin persuaded the King of the Northwest, but by the time Mu Yun brought the young prince and Qing Yi to the prince's study, Mu Xin had already left.

The prince was seen drinking tea by himself, and his expression seemed very calm, not like the anger he had just had.

Mu Yun pondered to himself, "What on earth did Mu Xin tell the prince?"

"Father, why are you looking for me?" Ye Qingyu asked, feeling somewhat confused. His father had asked Mu Yun to come find him early in the morning, and he had no idea why.

"Tell me about what happened to you in the capital." The King of the Northwest did not mention the matter of Ye Qingyu and Qing Yi. After being persuaded by Mu Xin, his anger was mostly gone.

"Yes, father." Ye Qingyu responded and began to recount what happened in the capital and the encounter with the Three Winter Monsters on the road. He also specially emphasized the fact that Qing Yi risked his life to break into the Seven Star Formation.

"Well, Bai Lingfeng?" The King of the Northwest had heard of the name of this witch, but had never seen her.

Ye Qingyu recounted his encounter with Li Wuxie three years ago and said, "Father, could it be because of this incident? Li Wuxie said back then that his master wanted to kill the owner of the Frost Ice Mysterious Iron Sword?"

"I will send people to investigate Bai Lingfeng's whereabouts. As long as she is in Da Chu, we will definitely find her." The King of the Northwest said, with a cold gleam in his eyes.

"Father, my uncle the emperor has given me a year to look for the treasure. I plan to set off in half a month." Ye Qingyu said.

"Let's wait until we find Bai Lingfeng before we set off, in case she has any other plans." When the King of the Northwest heard that Ye Qingyu had encountered the Seven Star Formation, he was extremely worried. How could he let him leave at this time?

“…” Ye Qingyu didn’t say a word.

The father and son were silent for a while, and the atmosphere was a little awkward. Finally, the King of the Northwest broke the silence and said, "I have something else to do. You should leave now."

"Father..." Ye Qingyu hesitated for a moment, but finally knelt down. He felt that this matter could not be delayed any longer, and he had to make his attitude clear to his father.
