Chapter 965: Chapter 959: The Deterrent Power of Mandala

After a long silence, Mu Qingchuan finally spoke: ”Lu Tianxing, since you know the seriousness of the situation, I won’t say much. I just hope that if one day it truly comes to that point, I want you to protect my sister, not let her suffer a single scratch or harm. This time, consider it as my request.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Tianxing’s brow furrowed: ”Young Master Mu, what do you mean by this?”

”I don’t mean anything. You just need to say whether you agree or not. If you don’t agree, from now on, you will be an enemy of the Mu Family. If I see you with my sister again, I will exhaust the Mu Family’s power to eliminate you. I don’t care who you are or what status you hold,” Mu Qingchuan said heavily to Lu Tianxing.

Hearing this, Lu Tianxing smiled bitterly: ”Young Master Mu, do I have any other choice?”

”No.”

”Then does telling me this help?”

”I just wanted to inform you, Lu Tianxing. I know your strength is formidable, even the Mu Family might find it hard to handle you, but I hope you remember that you may refuse my sister, but if she encounters any misfortune because of you, not only will you die, but those around you will as well. On this, I, Mu Qingchuan, can swear to the heavens, relentless until death.”

Mu Qingchuan stared unyieldingly at Lu Tianxing, a terrifying murderous intent radiating from him, showing Lu Tianxing that he was not joking.

”Young Master Mu, you’re being excessive. Qingxue is my friend and has helped me several times; I certainly won’t let her come to harm.”

”Let’s hope so. Farewell.”

Mu Qingchuan gave Lu Tianxing a deep look, said nothing more, and turned to walk out of the bamboo grove.

Five minutes later, Lu Tianxing drove the car Bai Zhiqing specially left by the roadside away from the Wang Family’s Mansion, his mind replaying Mu Qingchuan’s words and every time he met Mu Qingxue, the undisguised affection and stubbornness in her eyes.

For the first time, Lu Tianxing understood the hardest thing to endure is a beauty’s favor.

Mu Qingxue was devoted to him, but he felt nothing for her. Or rather, he didn’t dare entertain any thoughts about Mu Qingxue—not because he feared the Mu Family, but he didn’t want those around him to be hurt. If they openly clashed with the Mu Family and he got held up by them, Bai Zhiqing and Lin Yafei could not stand against the Mu Family.

Furthermore, ultimately caught in the middle would be Mu Qingxue, having to choose between family and love, which is truly painful.

He wanted to distance himself from Mu Qingxue, but she repeatedly appeared before him, leaving Lu Tianxing with nothing but bitter smiles and helplessness.

His relationships were already complicated enough; Lin Qianru reluctantly accepted Bai Zhiqing, and he had been involved with Lin Yafei. Even though Bai Zhiqing didn’t know about it, it’s said that paper can’t contain fire; Bai Zhiqing would know about him and Lin Yafei sooner or later. Not to mention there’s Rose and Angel. If Bai Zhiqing were to learn about them, he could predict what would happen without much thought.

Sighing slightly, Lu Tianxing lowered the car window, letting the cold wind brush against his face, alleviating his internal pressure.

The scenery outside constantly whisked past him unnoticed as Lu Tianxing drove back to Purple Bamboo Villa. He got out, directly entered the villa.

At the moment, Bai Zhiqing and others weren’t resting but sitting in the hall, waiting for Lu Tianxing’s return.

”Thud!”

A heavy footstep echoed in everyone’s ears, signaling Lu Tianxing’s return, prompting each to quickly look towards the entrance.

In the next moment, Lu Tianxing’s figure appeared before everyone’s eyes.

Bai Zhiqing was the first to stand up and walk towards Lu Tianxing: ”Back?”

”Yeah!”

Lu Tianxing looked at Bai Zhiqing and said: ”So late, why aren’t you all resting? Aren’t you afraid of getting dark circles in the morning?”

As soon as Lu Tianxing’s words landed, Lin Yafei immediately spoke: ”Do you think we don’t want to sleep? I was planning to go back to sleep, but who knew a girl blinded by love dragged me here to accompany her, threatening to turn against me if I dared to leave. I had no choice but to wait here.”

”Exactly, exactly.”

Mandala kept nodding her head furiously in agreement, saying disgruntledly: ”Sister Yafei said if we have dark circles tomorrow, it’s definitely your fault. You must compensate us.”

”How do you plan for me to compensate you?” Lu Tianxing asked Mandala with a smile.

Upon hearing this, a sly look appeared on Mandala’s face, rubbing her fingers: ”Hehe, brother, my request isn’t high. You know I’m short of money and recently there’s a new fruit phone out, maybe you could get me one.”

Beside her, Fu Tu and Tie Niu, seeing Mandala claim to be short of money, couldn’t help but twitch at the mouth—Mandala being short of money was far-fetched.

Back with the Netherworld Mercenary Corps, Mandala often needed to buy various herbs to concoct poison, so lacking money was normal. But for Mandala being short of money also meant trouble for their wallets, as they would have to fill Mandala’s purse diligently, or else might find certain laxatives in their food.

Mandala noticed the cringing faces of Tie Niu and Fu Tu, smilingly said: ”Brother Tie Niu, Brother Fu Tu, do you have any objections to what I just said?”

Seeing Mandala’s smile, Fu Tu and Tie Niu couldn’t help but shiver—every time Mandala extorted their wallets, she’d smile like that while talking to them.

”Hehe, Manman, how could we have any objections! By the way, Fu Tu, are you tired? Let’s get some rest.”

While speaking, Tie Niu stood up directly, heading towards the room arranged by Lin Yafei before.

Fu Tu hesitated for a moment but then turned around and left without a word.

Watching this, Lu Tianxing’s eye twitched—Mandala’s devilish persona was deeply ingrained indeed.

”Manman, are you tired? Let’s go upstairs to rest, and talk about everything tomorrow morning,” Lin Yafei suddenly proposed.

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Yafei stood up and without waiting for Mandala to respond, took Mandala’s arm and walked upstairs.
