the God of Asura!
Mu Ci could only think of this possibility.
If the reason was entirely attributed to the God of Asura, then why would he have guided Tang Hao to attack and kill him?
This book is first published online by 𝕥𝕨𝕜𝕒𝕟.𝕔𝕠𝕞.
Suddenly, Mu Ci thought of Tang San's manipulation of the chosen one of Douluo Continent's destiny in the God Realm ten thousand years later, and then connected it to Tang San's transmigration.
Could it be that Tang San's transmigration was truly the work of the God of Asura?
Because my appearance disrupted his planned growth process, he guided Tang Hao here, attempting to kill me prematurely and bring fate back on track?
"Could that calamity back then have been orchestrated by the God of Asura?"
Thinking of this, Mu Ci's brows furrowed even more.
In his previous life, this was considered a conspiracy theory, lacking concrete evidence in the books, but the current situation forced Mu Ci to consider this possibility.
Just then, Mu Ci felt a warm, soft touch on his cheek; a hand as smooth as jade gently smoothed his furrowed brows.
"What's wrong? You look so worried. Tell me what's bothering you."
Qian Renxue felt a pang of sadness seeing the man beside her so troubled. After Qian Renxue's comforting words, Mu Ci's mood improved considerably. He pulled her close and said, "Sister Xue, I need your help."
"Don't use the word 'please' when you're talking to me. You're my man, and I'll always be on your side."
Hearing Qian Renxue's reply, Mu Ci's love deepened.
"Sister Xue, take Tang Hao's head back to the Spirit Hall later. That way, we'll have settled one matter."
"However, don't let the Spirit Hall announce Tang Hao's death. Tell everyone that after the finals of this year's Soul Master Competition, someone long wanted by the Spirit Hall will be publicly executed."
If the news of Tang Hao's execution is released now, it will cause a huge uproar across the entire continent.
Yu Xiaogang knows Tang Hao's true identity, and he will definitely inform Tang San after learning the news.
Tang Yuehua in Heaven Dou City will also relay this information back to the Clear Sky Sect.
At that time, both Tang San and the Clear Sky Sect, hidden in the mountains, will definitely take action.
Mu Ci doesn't want to completely disrupt the trajectory of the Douluo Continent now, so it's best to keep Tang Hao's news hidden for a while to stabilize the situation.
However, even so, some people might still guess that the wanted criminal to be executed might be Tang Hao.
After all, in the past few decades, no one else besides Tang Hao has received such treatment from the Spirit Hall.
If someone within the Clear Sky Sect suspects it, then Tang Xiao, as Tang Hao's elder brother and the sect leader, will definitely take action, and it's even possible he'll personally come to rescue him.
If that happens, Tang Hao will be very useful as bait.
If he's useless, then so be it; using Tang Hao's head to boost the Spirit Hall's prestige is still an option.
"Alright, these are all minor matters."
Qian Renxue quietly closed her eyes, resting her head on Mu Ci's chest, responding softly. Having temporarily settled one matter, Mu Ci felt a sense of relief.
Holding Qian Renxue's jade-like body, the flames in his heart gradually intensified.
After all, once the taste is gone, it's hard to extinguish.
"Sister Xue, I want breakfast."
"Okay, I'll have someone prepare it for you."
"But the breakfast I want is right in front of me!"
Three days later, at the Medicine King Sect.
Beside a luxurious carriage, Mu Ci was saying his final goodbye to Huo Wu.
As the days passed, it was time for Huo Wu to return to the Blazing Fire Academy to train with her team members.
Mu Ci and Huo Wu embraced tightly, savoring their last moments together before parting.
"Huo Wu, did you bring all the medicinal gifts I prepared for Grandpa Huo Nu, Uncle and Aunt, and Brother-in-law?"
Mu Ci gently pressed his face against Huo Wu's golden-red hair, inhaling the faint fragrance, and asked softly.
After all, he had been keeping their granddaughter and daughter away for several years; it would be unreasonable not to prepare some gifts for Huo Wu to take back.
So, he had taken some time these past two days to refine a batch of pills to enhance soul power and preserve youthful appearance.
He hadn't forgotten Huo Wushuang either, and had specially refined a Marrow Cleansing Pill. Although its medicinal power was not as strong as immortal herbs, it could still make up for any shortcomings in aptitude.
Hearing Mu Ci's question, Huo Wu, who was quietly leaning against his chest, swayed slightly and tightened her arms around his waist.
"It's all packed. It's all in my storage soul tool."
After saying that, the two lingered tenderly for a few more moments.
Mu Ci then gently stroked Huo Wu's waist-length hair and said.
"Alright, it's time to go, otherwise you'll have to spend the night in the wilderness."
"No, I want to hug you a little longer. You've spent most of these past few days at the Crown Prince's residence and haven't really cared for us."
"Aci, tell me, isn't that person at the Crown Prince's residence more important than us sisters?"
Huo Wu buried her face even deeper, her clear voice, tinged with jealousy, emanating from her chest.
Mu Ci smiled wryly. Although she had returned to the sect to spend time with the girls during the day these past few days, she had spent most of her time at the Crown Prince's residence with Qian Renxue.
After all, both of them had just tasted forbidden fruit, and having experienced the sweetness, they had indeed spent more time together.
"That's not true. You are all equally important to me."
Mu Ci nodded to Huo Wu, not denying it.
"Oh, so there really is another one in the Crown Prince's residence. Is it Sister Xue who used to come all the time?"
Huo Wu suddenly raised her head, looking at Mu Ci's face.
"It's her, but I can't tell you about her now. I'll tell you everything later."
Mu Ci didn't want to hide anything from the girls, nor did she want to deceive them over such a small matter and affect their relationship.
"I knew it. I could tell back then. The way she looked at you was exactly the same as the way she looked at the other girls."
Huo Wu certainly wouldn't quarrel with Mu Ci just because she had another sister. She had already accepted this situation.
However, because Mu Ci had been staying out all night for the past few days, she felt a little jealous and wanted to know if it was really that person.
"A-Ci, you..."
Before Huo Wu could finish speaking, Mu Ci lowered her head and kissed Huo Wu's alluring red lips.
The sudden action made Huo Wu's delicate body stiffen for a moment, then she softly nestled in Mu Ci's arms, responding passionately.
After a long while, Mu Ci looked at Huo Wu, whose face was flushed, and said with a smile,
"Are you still jealous?"
Huo Wu shook her head slightly; the slight jealousy had long since vanished.
"Then go back early. You haven't been back many times in the past few years. Spend some time at home with your aunt and uncle."
"The Soul Master Competition is coming soon, I won't keep you waiting long."
At this moment, Huo Wu obediently released Mu Ci's waist and boarded the waiting carriage.
"Then I'm leaving!" With
Mu Ci's gesture, the carriage slowly began to drive out of the sect.
