Chapter 108
"...Did you put this jade pendant on me?"
Liu Fengchang said with a look of shock.
Although she thought that there might be something wrong with the jade pendant on her body, she didn't expect that it was placed on her body intentionally by someone.
But what is this person's purpose?
Young Master? In the entire fairy world, except for the four heirs of the Heavenly Emperor who were called Crown Princes, the heirs of many other forces were called Young Masters, and even the children of the heads of some small sects were called Young Masters.
Thinking back to the man who had the same jade pendant as him last night, Liu Fengchang felt as if he had discovered some incredible secret.
"Yes, I was the one who put the jade pendant on my sister." The young master in front of him admitted it quite readily.
His voice was sweet and gentle, and he looked like the kind of student the teacher liked the most.
But Liu Fengchang would not look down on this person just because of his appearance.
——After all, this person activated the formation the moment she returned to the room, and now she has no chance of escaping.
"At that time, I wanted to shift the blame to someone else, but I didn't expect that my sister didn't say a word." The young man looked at Liu Fengchang with innocent eyes like a rabbit, and suddenly raised the corners of his mouth and smiled happily.
"I changed my mind at that time. It would be a shame to use up a fairy like my sister just for once." The young man said, his face flushed and he looked more and more shy.
"It's better to let my sister make the best use of it."
Liu Fengchang felt cold all over when he looked at the young man in front of him.
Use it up at once? Liu Fengchang had heard this kind of talk many times in the fairy world. Those immortal sects with a little power always spoke to them in such contempt. She had gotten used to it.
Just say it, it won’t cost her a piece of meat or a fairy stone. As long as she gets the fairy stone, she will not be afraid of anything else.
What frightened her was the boy's attitude.
The boy looked like a normal immortal, and he spoke very politely, even using honorifics from beginning to end.
But it was precisely because of this that she felt like meat on the chopping board, and was very likely involved in a big event.
Liu Fengchang tried to calm himself down and find a way to escape, but...
Looking at the so-called young master, the aura he exuded, and the several assassins who had already started to help her pack her luggage, Liu Fengchang's dark green pupils began to shrink.
She was a little desperate. Could she really refuse?
"Your Highness, I am only a terrestrial immortal. I don't have much ability and even now I just make a living by helping people tidy up the garden. Your Highness is so noble that someone will definitely help you charge into battle once you give an order."
Liu Fengchang said this with a flattering smile, but he moved back unnoticed.
Although the formation is still operating in the room, the neurotic butler will definitely come over if there is any noise!
This was the first time that Liu Fengchang thanked the housekeeper for his nervousness. Although this nervousness had kept them busy for the past two days, and they had not left out any detail just to make a good impression on the prince, Fairy, Liu Fengchang was really grateful for this man's character.
Otherwise she really would have no chance of escape.
"Sister, why do you have to belittle yourself? If your strength exceeds that of a Golden Immortal, I would not want you."
Liu Fengchang had good ideas, but she misjudged the gap in strength between herself and these big shots.
The young master just flicked his fingers lightly, and Liu Fengchang was pressed down on the chair by an invisible force.
She was frightened and tried to struggle to get up from the chair, but the force on her body seemed to weigh a thousand pounds and she couldn't move at all!
Liu Fengchang was truly desperate now. She forced herself to put on a flattering smile like a puppet, but her eyes were filled with gloom.
"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot. I should have discussed the salary before letting my sister do the work. I have never hired anyone before and actually forgot about this."
When Liu Fengchang heard this, the despair on her face became even stronger. She said desperately, "Your Highness, although I have thought about exchanging my life for money, I really don't want to die at the moment."
However, after hearing what Liu Fengchang said, the young man showed a look of surprise. He covered his mouth in surprise and said, "How could I let you die? Only a Golden Immortal with high cultivation is more suitable for such a thing."
Liu Fengchang felt that his knee was hit by an arrow, but at the same time he felt like he had survived a disaster.
The boy’s next words made Liu Fengchang’s eyes widen.
The young man seemed not to notice Liu Fengchang's expression. He knocked on the table and said.
"Sister's salary should be the same as An Yi's, 1,000 standard immortal stones per month, plus normal welfare allowances, and the clothing and expenses required for work are also reimbursed normally..."
"Okay, no problem, sir. When will we start work?"
*
"Resign?"
The butler looked at Liu Fengchang with his eyes slightly widened, with a look of disbelief. He really couldn't believe it.
Prince Mu Yuze of the Northern Sky Emperor is the dream lover of many fairies. In order to get close to his highness, people line up from the Far North to the South Fairy Sea!
Ever since the Crown Prince received the garden yesterday, word has spread that the garden belongs to the Crown Prince. Many people have begun to inquire whether they can work there, some even willing to pay money to get in.
If it weren't for his decisiveness, many people in the garden would probably have to be replaced by now.
And now he had finally held on and not wavered, but Captain Liu Feng actually wanted to resign.
"Yes, I really have to go. Butler He, you really don't know. I barely managed to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince yesterday. I was almost blocked by people when I went out. If I hadn't been smart, I would have been torn to pieces by those fairies. It's good to have fairy stones for cultivation, but you have to spend your life on them."
The willow spirit with dark green pupils spoke, and looked quite frightened, but Butler He was not fooled by appearances. He directly cast a small spell and confirmed that the current Director Liu had experienced excessive emotional fluctuations a few hours ago before nodding and approving her resignation.
Steward He felt quite regretful when watching Liu Fengchang's leaving back. In fact, he was optimistic that Liu Fengchang would take over his job. He himself was almost at the end of his life and would pass away soon, so it was of vital importance to find a steward for the garden.
The Crown Prince doesn't come to this garden often, so it's not a problem to find a female willow fairy to be the housekeeper, but...
Who asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come yesterday? Although the housekeeper didn't believe what the Crown Prince said he would come over later, the people around His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't think he was joking.
"But it's better this way." Butler He muttered.
Rather than waiting until His Royal Highness the Crown Prince comes again, because he will be killed in the open and secret struggles around him, leaving now is also a way to save his life.
Butler He thought about it and started today's inspection.
But Butler He guessed wrong about one thing.
What their Northern Emperor Prince said was actually true.
He really planned to come to the garden again in a week.
"Your Highness, His Majesty said that you should go see him when you return."
Hearing the words of the guard beside him, Mu Yuze nodded, like a man frozen in ice, looking as if there was no trace of humanity from head to toe.
The guard standing by also sighed.
Their Highness is really becoming less and less popular.
When he returned from the mortal world, he looked quite normal, and the Queen Mother even cried for joy.
However, afterwards, it was as if the previous tribulation had never existed, and it gradually returned to its original state.
The guards were thinking in distress, not knowing that their prince was experiencing some rare emotions in his heart.
After Mu Yuze came back from the ordeal more than ten days ago, although he seemed unchanged on the surface and even returned to his previous state, he simply suppressed his emotions.
The reason he went to the mortal world to experience hardships was actually to break through, that is, to let himself experience ups and downs in order to break through the bottleneck.
However, now that the bottleneck has been broken, he is a little concerned about his life in the mortal world.
Mu Yuze did not tell anyone that during the days after he returned from his ordeal on earth, whenever he closed his eyes he could see Yue'er and Yuanfu's faces.
Crying, laughing—and crying in despair before he died.
That was the first time he experienced true family love.
Just like some of the subordinates who got married and had children early, although there were some complaints, there were more good things.
A few days ago, Mu Yuze almost couldn't suppress his emotions and wanted to come down to earth again to find his wife and children.
However, once he opened his eyes, Mu Yuze was able to suppress these emotions.
Fortunately, sleep is not a necessity for immortals, which allowed Mu Yuze to quickly pack up these memories and put them behind him.
He is the prince of the Northern Heavenly Emperor, and those mortals...
After spending two months in the fairyland, dust returned to dust.
As Mu Yuze thought so, he was no longer controlled by those inexplicable emotions.
——Until he came to yesterday's garden.
There was a little fairy in the garden who was tidying up the garden, and he inexplicably looked out the window for a long time. He came to his senses only after the housekeeper reminded him. When he looked again, he was no longer as obsessed as before.
He had a hunch that there might be a problem, but after checking it up and down, he couldn't find any problem, not even the slightest bit.
He could only leave temporarily to make the plan of the person behind the scenes fail.
However, he still planned to go again after a while to see whether he was wrong or there was really a problem.
Just as Mu Yuze was thinking, the spirit boat flying at an extremely fast speed had already brought him to the palace of Emperor Beitian.
It is more like a country than a palace.
For a member of the top twenty forces like Emperor Bei Tian, a palace complex as big as a country is not considered a luxury.
There is even an Emperor of the South Sky who occupied a continent in the fairyland as his sleeping palace.
However, Emperor Bei Tian did not intend to do so. As long as he could meet his life needs, it would be fine.
After getting off the spirit boat, Mu Yuze looked at the palace with carved beams and painted rafters in front of him, and walked over to pay his respects with an expressionless face.
As soon as you enter the palace, you can hear a string of silver bell-like laughter filling the entire palace.
"...Brother Zheng, Yan'er likes this so much!"
When Mu Yuze looked up, as expected, his father, who had always been a young man and looked about his age, and his mother, who maintained the body of a young girl, were flirting on the throne that represented the authority of Emperor Beitian.
There was no fluctuation in Mu Yuze's eyes. He had seen this situation since he was a child. No matter how surprised he was when he was young, he had calmed down now.
"Zer is here, come quickly and let mother see, how about going to the garden this time?"
Qiao Yan, who was sitting on the throne, saw Mu Yuze come in, and like a normal mother, she called Mu Yuze over to ask about her well-being.
However, Emperor Mu Zheng of the North Sky standing by was not a good father. He watched Mu Yuze being pulled over by his mother for examination, and he hummed every now and then, just like he had a blocked nose.
"...It looks like he's well-fed. That's great. Ze'er, you must be exhausted from this experience. Remember to have a good rest."
Qiao Yan smiled and gave instructions, and Mu Yuze nodded, but strangely, he did not show any admiration for his mother.
He even took a few steps back the moment Qiao Yan let go of his hand.
But Qiao Yan didn't seem to notice. She said to Mu Zheng with a smile, "Okay, Brother Zheng, don't be jealous. You really haven't changed in hundreds of years. Why are you jealous of your son?"
Seeing his mother's mischievous face making jokes, Mu Yuze didn't smile at all. He still stood there coldly, watching his father and mother finish their flirting for the day, and then he spoke to them.
"Father and mother, I will return to the palace first. I still have practice to do later."
Mu Zheng was comforted by Qiao Yan. He no longer looked at Mu Yuze with the same dislike as before. He spoke in a rare gentle tone.
"You are only two hundred years old and still very young. Don't act like an old man. The young master of Mu Tianmen is planning to hold a new ceremony. Please help me go there, so that the child won't be used as a punching bag by that old man Mu Wu like last time."
Mu Zheng also snorted when he said this. The person he despised the most was that old man Mu Wu. Not only did he take advantage of someone else's situation to steal his wife, but he also treated the child badly after finally having him!
He has equipped Mu Yuze with everything!
...Although in some ways he wasn't very nice to children either.
Mu Zheng felt a little guilty, but when he thought about that old man Mu Wu, he immediately felt justified.
"Yeah, Xing'er suffered a lot too. He finally had a ceremony, but ended up being used as a punching bag by Muwu. The child was so well-behaved that his eyes were red when I left."
Although Qiao Yan didn't want to take the child away, it was her biological child after all.
And I have to say that Mu Xingji is a really well-behaved and cute child. He always uses honorifics, and even though they are the same honorifics, he just looks more well-behaved and sounds better when he uses them.
When she saw Mu Wu destroying the child's ceremony and the child standing there stupidly, Qiao Yan had an urge to bring the child home and raise him.
But then she came to her senses and left immediately.
Bringing that child back would be a betrayal to Brother Zheng and Ze'er...
As for hearing that the child was sick for more than ten days...I can only say that it was fate.
Mu Yuze also thought of his half-brother. He had met him once when he was a child. He was as small as a jade ball, but he was already in his thirties at that time. He knew that the child's birth was a sin, so he did not have much contact with him.
——I only remember that when the child was only a few years old, he was surrounded by many teachers and powerful people.
But it seems that his ceremony was before he went through the tribulation, and he was sick for more than ten days afterwards?
However, Mu Yuze did not want to get involved in the grudges of their previous generation. After nodding in agreement, he turned and left.
It's just a trip to meet with the so-called younger brother and to represent the attitude of the Beitian Emperor's forces.
Mu Yuze thought naively.
*
On the day of the re-held ceremony, Mu Yuze arrived as promised.
However, all the powerful people who knew the grudge between the two sides showed a look of understanding on their faces when they saw Mu Yuze attending the banquet alone.
Having shown off enough last time, are you going to let Master Mu off this time?
The powerful ones looked at each other with regret. It was a pity that Emperor Bei Tian and his wife didn’t come this time. They still wanted to watch the show.
Mu Yuze looked at the expressions of these powerful men and for the first time felt that his father's decision was correct. At least his decision not to come successfully prevented him from being treated as a joke for the time being.
Mu Yuze thought with an expressionless face, and even when he went over to congratulate him, his face was cold.
But no one present, including Mu Wu who had a sour face, paid much attention to it. After all, Mu Yuze had been like this since he was a child, as if he was born from an iceberg.
It's clear that the Emperor and the Empress of Beitian are one a firecracker and the other a warm and cheerful person, so how could such an iceberg appear?
Mu Yuze didn't care what the people present were thinking. He ignored the ugly look on the face of the leader of Mu Tianmen and returned to his seat.
However, the whispers of the people present still fell into his ears through the special magic weapon on his body.
"The last ceremony seemed to end before it even started, and no one gave any gifts. No wonder the Mumen Sect wanted to hold it again this time. Mutian Sect must be in financial difficulty these days."
"Who made the Mu Tian Sect's leader drunk and ruining a lot of things recently? How could he be so romantic to the young master like that? The young master had to come and clean up his mess."
Listening to the whispers of some immortals below, Mu Yuze's facial expression remained unchanged, but these words still entered his ears.
'No wonder he got sick.' It's not easy for Mu Xingji to maintain his good character when he meets a father who makes trouble and has to clean up the mess.
Meeting a father like this, Mu Yuze felt that Mu Zheng, who was jealous of his son and even fought with him, looked a little more pleasing to the eye.
Of course, just a little bit.
Mu Yuze was thinking, and the ceremony officially began.
But when the host announced Mu Xingji's appearance, Mu Yuze felt something was wrong when he looked at the young man's back.
There was something wrong with the boy's figure, his walking posture, and his expression.
Mu Yuze saw that strange sense of familiarity in Mu Xingji again, but he couldn't figure out what was so familiar about him.
It was like there was a layer of window paper in the middle, but he couldn't break it.
Even Mu Yuze's self-control was a little anxious.
He was thinking hard, and Mu Xingji's eyes just happened to sweep over him and meet Mu Yuze's eyes.
Mu Yuze was now even more certain that Juxing Ji was a little strange.
In the past, Juxing Ji would only look at him with eyes full of envy and hatred, but now he collapses at the sight of him.
It was as if his gaze was scorching.
Mu Yuze frowned.
He didn't like being kept in the dark like this, and the spheres of influence of the Mutian Clan and the Northern Emperor were adjacent to each other, plus what happened between the two families...
If anything happened to Jupiter Ji, it would most likely be blamed on them.
For the sake of Emperor Bei Tian's reputation, he also had to ask questions.
*
"…Prince Mu? What do you want from me? My father is calling me over."
Mu Yuze stopped him in the garden outside the door. Mu Xingji had a perfect and well-behaved smile on his face, but Mu Yuze saw that his eyes were wandering, as if he didn't want to look him in the eye.
Mu Yuze didn't say anything directly.
"Why does Young Master Mu look speechless today?" "If that's the case, then he is really waiting to go to war with Mu Tianmen.
No matter how much Mu Wu doesn't love his son, he will not back down in the face of such blatant provocation.
So he just briefly talked about his recent tribulations, and used this as an excuse to ask whether Jupiter Jimu Tianmen had such an elixir.
Although the question was a bit awkward, he still had to give face to the Crown Prince of Beitian Emperor.
For Mu Tianmen to occupy such a large sphere of influence, it is definitely not enough to have military strength alone. Mu Tianmen is the elite among elites in terms of elixirs, refining equipment and drawing talismans, and also has large-scale breeding farms.
There are all kinds of raw materials, and even some immortal herbs that disappeared in ancient times are in stock. However, these are all in the sect's warehouse and guarded by spirit objects. Even the master of the Mutian Sect cannot open them without the corresponding points.
Mu Yuze used this question to ask Ju Xingji, which was quite professional.
But after saying a few words, Mu Yuze felt that he might have been overthinking. Mu Xingji probably didn't want to see him because of the previous ceremony.
——After all, the hidden anger on his face when he saw it was not fake.
Moreover, he was still quite upset about what happened two months ago, and he would become aggressive if someone unconsciously mentioned that he had been sick for more than ten days.
but……
Mu Yuze still couldn't figure out why Ju Xingji made him feel such an indescribable sense of familiarity.
But before he could figure out the reason, Mu Xingji left immediately, as if he couldn't stand the awkward conversation with him anymore.
Mu Yuze instinctively wanted to chase after him, but after taking a few steps, Mu Yuze felt quite strange.
There was nothing wrong with Jupiter Ji, so why should he chase after him?
Mu Yuze felt that something was wrong with him today. Could it be a problem after experiencing a tribulation?
Mu Yuze thought about it and immediately took another route.
The garden was well maintained, especially the willow trees by the lake, which looked full of vitality, allowing Mu Yuze to relax for a rare moment.
Then Mu Yuze saw a familiar figure here.
Is it the little earth fairy in the garden?
'Why is she here? ' Mu Yuze wondered.
But at the same time, that feeling came over me again.
Mu Yuze was troubled by this feeling for a long time. He immediately decided to go forward and find out clearly. He could not be controlled by this feeling.
However, after walking a few steps, he saw a jade pendant hanging on the earth immortal.
Mu Yuze's pupils shrank, and the emotions that he had suppressed for some time immediately burst out like a tide!
He immediately took a few steps forward and grabbed the earth immortal.
"——Why are you wearing my wife's jade pendant?"
*
Liu Fengchang looked at Mu Yuze in front of him with a little despair.
When she learned that she was just there to act as a stand-in, she felt that the task was quite easy, although there were some incomplete information about the task, such as she had no idea what the jade pendant represented.
——After all, the young master’s pretty face would be quite distorted when he mentioned this jade pendant.
Still very beautiful though.
In short, Liu Fengchang didn’t think there was anything wrong with the missing information on this mission. Her character was that of a person with amnesia, so any information had to be told to her by the other party.
——But now Liu Fengchang finally understood why the young master wanted to restrict her thinking and why he needed someone with a tight mouth to carry out this task.
Liu Fengchang thought in his heart with tears in his eyes.
The wife of the Northern Emperor's prince when he descended to the mortal world to experience the tribulation was the young master of the Mutian Sect who also descended to the mortal world to experience the tribulation. This kind of thing...
Damn, this is a bit too exciting!
