Beauty Chairwoman’s Bodyguard Expert

Mu Qingchuan smiled after hearing what Sima Lingyun said and sipped his tea, ”Sorry, I’m sitting down, so it’s normal not to feel any backache. Besides, there’s no conflict of interest between me and Judge, so why should I be in a hurry? What I’m curious about now is how you plan to deal with this situation.”

”I’ve heard that Judge snatched Liu Feng’s woman and killed that trash Broken Blade. If they find out Judge has entered Beijing, what do you think they’ll do? Aren’t you afraid that Beijing will be thrown into chaos? Oh, right, I almost forgot, there’s also the Wang Family. Sima, do you think Judge is a troublemaker, stirring up problems everywhere? I, Mu Qingchuan, have grown up without offending so many people, tsk tsk, such boldness. He’s offended people and now he’s actually showing up right under their noses, really fearless of death, huh?”

Sima Lingyun glanced at Mu Qingchuan and said indifferently, ”Whether Judge is a troublemaker, I don’t know, but I do know that you, Young Master Mu, didn’t come here today with good intentions.”

”Sima, can’t you be less blunt? No wonder you’re still single, serves you right.”

Mu Qingchuan was left speechless by Sima Lingyun’s words for a long while.

”Impressive mouth, you’re single right now too, it seems.”

Sima Lingyun looked at Mu Qingchuan and said, ”Speak up! No one visits a temple without a cause, so tell me, what brings you here this time.”

”I want to enter the Yanhuang Group’s Scripture Pavilion.”

”No, you’re not a member of the Yanhuang Group, you don’t qualify to enter. To gain access to the Scripture Pavilion, you must join the Yanhuang Group first.”

”Sima, you’re not going to have any friends if you keep this up. We grew up playing bare-butted together, can’t you make an exception for me? I’ll just take a look, I won’t take any secret texts out. Do you believe I’ll break in in the dead of night?”

”Sure, as long as you can break through the Shushan Five Elders’ Sword Array, I’ll allow you to go in, how about that?”

”Get lost, I don’t want to face those five old fossils. Shushan Sword Array, who can break through it? Not even an invincible powerhouse at the Earthly Immortal Realm could, and I’m certainly not keen on courting death.”

Mu Qingchuan’s face darkened, nearly spitting blood in frustration. He did want to break in, but the mere thought of the Shushan Five Elders sent shivers down his spine.

The Shushan Five Elders were the Supreme Elders of the Yanhuang Group, said to be brothers who joined the Yanhuang Group together. Having already stayed in the Yanhuang Group for over a hundred years, they were tremendously powerful. Skilled practitioners of the Shushan Swordsmanship, their strength had reportedly reached the peak of the Mythical Realm, with one foot already stepping into the Earthly Immortal Realm, making them one of the Yanhuang Group’s top experts.

What’s more exasperating was that these Shushan Five Elders wouldn’t ever face you in single combat. While most masters fought one-on-one, the Shushan Five Elders did the exact opposite, all five attacking together, which felt similar to five adults bullying a child.

Everyone knows that after reaching the Mythical Realm, each advancement in strength brings about earth-shattering changes. Five peak Mythical Realm powerhouses joining forces didn’t simply add up; their destructive power rose in a geometrical progression.

If Mu Qingchuan dared to storm the Scripture Pavilion, the only outcome would be being slaughtered by the Shushan Five Elders, without exception. For the Five Elders guarding the Scripture Pavilion, any unauthorized entry was deemed hostile, and they always dealt with enemies with lethal force.

”Since that’s the case, I can’t help you. However, there is another way for you to enter the Scripture Pavilion without joining the Yanhuang Group.”

”What way? Wait, Sima, I understand now. No wonder you’ve never looked for a girlfriend; turns out you like men. Jeez, keep away from me, I’m not interested in men.”

Mu Qingchuan looked at Sima Lingyun with a face full of horror.

Sima Lingyun looked at Mu Qingchuan with a face full of dark lines, his facial muscles twitching, and he gritted his teeth as he said, ”I’m even less interested in you, why do I need you to join my camp?”

”Join your camp? Are you planning to clean up the Yanhuang Group?”

Mu Qingchuan was slightly startled, instantly understanding the implication of Sima Lingyun’s words. As Sima Lingyun’s friend, he was naturally no fool and was very aware of the current state of the Yanhuang Group.

”I’m not planning on doing that for now, and besides, those clan families aren’t my opponents; they’re not even qualified to be my opponents.”

Sima Lingyun stood up, walked over to the window, and looked out at the scenery, his tone carrying a hint of pride. The Beijing family clans were simply not worthy of being his opponents.

”What do you mean by that? Are there other people?” Mu Qingchuan picked up the tea in front of him, took a sip, and asked.

”Indeed, there are other people.”

Sima Lingyun nodded and spoke slowly, ”You should know that I went to Modu a while ago. I was originally planning to meet Judge, but while in Modu, I encountered someone and some things happened. I realized that there is very likely a hidden force within Beijing, a formidable and terrifying power. Even the Yanhuang Group is nothing in their eyes. This force could be lurking behind the major clans, secretly manipulating them, and could even be said that, together, Judge and I might not be a match for it. Hence, I now need allies.”

Hearing Sima Lingyun’s words, Mu Qingchuan’s face gradually turned solemn. Growing up with Sima Lingyun, he knew his character well and that he wouldn’t speak nonsense.

”Is it that serious? The two of you are representative figures of the younger generation. You’ve even broken through to the Mythical Realm, and those undying old men in the Yanhuang Group have always supported you. Which power could possibly harm you?”

”Yes, there is. Do you remember the incident from decades ago when someone broke into the Scripture Pavilion? The person who broke into the Scripture Pavilion and emerged unscathed is from this power. Further, in Modu, I also encountered the Twelve Terrifying. If I’m not mistaken, the Twelve Terrifying might all be of the Mythical-Level Realm, and at the very least, they are at Heavenly Peak. If this force emerges, along with the Beijing family clans, the Yanhuang Group will not be able to withstand them. They could be overturned in an instant and even changed as if through a dynastic transition, becoming a tool in someone’s hand.”

Mu Qingchuan fell silent. The idea of the Yanhuang Group becoming a knife in someone else’s hand was truly terrifying. What concerned him more was the mysterious force mentioned by Sima Lingyun, which held such dreadful power.

After a long pause, Mu Qingchuan slowly said, ”Sima, aren’t you afraid that I might also be part of this force by telling me all this?”

”Heh, Young Master Mu, to use your own words, we grew up wearing open-crotch pants together. Wouldn’t I be clear about your character?” Sima Lingyun said with a smile.

”You’re right, we grew up together, we’re brothers. This time, I’ll join you in this serious play. I also want to witness exactly what kind of power it is that has even scared Sima Lingyun.”

Mu Qingchuan said with a spirited tone, ”But now, can I finally go take a look at the Scripture Pavilion?”

”No problem.”

”Then what are we waiting for? Let’s hurry up. This time I finally have a chance to see the Yanhuang Group’s Scripture Pavilion. Do you think if I sneakily hide a book, the Shushan Five Elders will discover it?”

”Whether or not they’ll discover it, I don’t know, but I can say for sure that by this day next year, I can go to the mountain to see you. I’ll bring along some paper money to burn for you so that you’ll have it better in the Yama Palace.”
