Beauty Chairwoman’s Bodyguard Expert

Upon witnessing this scene, the man’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch, and a dark line flashed across his face. Why did he find that these old men nowadays liked to show off like this? His grandfather also liked to live in a place with a bamboo grove, as did Old Master Mu. Could it be that this is what fits the image of a senior master?

At this moment, Old Master Mu was sitting dazed by the pond in the bamboo grove courtyard, quietly lost in thought as he looked at the shimmering water surface.

Although Old Master Mu had already reached the age of seventy, his appearance showed few signs of aging. His hair was white yet youthful, and his elderly face was extraordinarily rosy, completely unlike what one would expect from a person of his age.

Footsteps echoed nearby, yet Old Master Mu remained unmoved, still staring blankly at the pond, with no intention of getting up to greet anyone.

The bodyguard stepped in front of Old Master Mu and respectfully said, ”Master, the person has been brought in.”

After hearing this, Old Master Mu gently waved his hand and said, ”I know, you may leave. Also, pass on my order that no one is allowed to approach here without my permission.”

”Yes, Master, I will instruct them immediately.”

The bodyguard nodded respectfully, hesitated not at all, and turned to walk outside.

”Greetings, Elder Mu.”

After the bodyguard left, the man immediately offered a respectful salute to Old Master Mu.

”Humph.”

Upon hearing this, Old Master Mu responded in a toneless manner, ”No need for such a grand gesture; I cannot bear it.”

”Speak! What exactly are you here at the Mu Family for? If you have nothing important, please leave.”

Old Master Mu’s tone was unwelcoming: ”People from the Lu Family are not welcome here, nor do I particularly like the Third Young Master of the Lu Family.”

Upon hearing Old Master Mu’s words, the man’s face couldn’t help but show a wry smile. His originally plain face suddenly seemed to flow like water, subtly shifting until a handsome and charming appearance presented itself before Old Master Mu’s eyes.

The man was none other than Lu Tianxing.

”Elder Mu, am I really so unwelcome in your eyes?” Lu Tianxing rubbed his nose and said with a wry smile.

However, he wasn’t angry at all. When he came to the Mu Family today, he had already anticipated the situation he would face. Moreover, regardless of Old Master Mu’s attitude towards him today, he couldn’t leave, for he was here not for himself, but for Mu Qingxue.

”Should I be welcoming you?”

Old Master Mu’s tone showed no signs of softening, still filled with anger and coldness: ”As the grand Third Young Master of the Lu Family, how could my Mu Family, being just a small pond, accommodate such a grand figure like you? Please, Third Young Master Lu, leave on your own.”

After speaking, Old Master Mu looked at Lu Tianxing, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes: ”Third Young Master Lu, don’t even think about laying a hand on me. If I wish, you wouldn’t be able to take a single step out of the Mu Family. Do you believe that?”

”I believe.”

Lu Tianxing took a deep breath, looking at Old Master Mu and said, ”Elder Mu, I know you don’t particularly favor me, and I understand that you don’t see eye to eye with me. But today, I just have a few things I want to say to you. Once I’ve said my piece, I’ll leave immediately. Otherwise, feel free to make a move against me, but remember, if it escalates and Qingxue finds out, it might be hard to resolve.”

”Are you threatening me?”

Old Master Mu’s face turned furious, quickly standing up, releasing a fierce aura from his body. Instantly, an unprecedented chill flooded the air, giving the impression of stepping into a polar frost land, with an aura suggestive of freezing thousands of miles.

The air filled with waves of chilling air, suddenly transforming into an ice crystal spear, spinning rapidly in the air, tearing through the atmosphere, and whistling straight towards Lu Tianxing.

Lu Tianxing watched the whistling ice crystal spear approach, the bone-chilling cold washing over him. He felt a profound frost seeping through his being.

Yet, in this moment, Lu Tianxing stood motionless, as if petrified, making no effort to defend himself—just silently observing Old Master Mu.

”Whoosh!”

The ice crystal spear shot past Lu Tianxing’s ear, its icy aura frosting a few strands of his hair, creating a startling sight.

”Quite bold.”

Seeing Lu Tianxing’s actions, Old Master Mu exhaled slowly and said, ”Speak then! Why did you come to the Mu Family today? Once you’ve said your piece, you can get lost.”

After speaking, Old Master Mu sat back down again, without any intention of inviting Lu Tianxing to sit.

Lu Tianxing saw this, his expression unchanged, taking a few measured steps forward, his gaze landing on Old Master Mu, and sighed softly, ”Elder Mu, I’ve come today to ask just one question: Does the Mu Family truly intend to marry Qingxue to the Tang Family?”

”Why, do you have an objection?”

Old Master Mu snorted coldly, unapologetically stating, ”Qingxue is the little princess of our Mu Family. Naturally, we are obliged to find her a suitable match. Tang Qingyun, as the young master of the Tang Family and future heir, if Qingxue marries him, she will be the young mistress of the Tang Family and future family head’s wife. Do you not think she will be happy?”

After speaking, Old Master Mu continued, ”Moreover, the Tang Family is dominant in Shu, a force unmatched. If Qingxue marries Tang Qingyun, our Mu Family will unite with the Tang Family. With their support, our status in Beijing will be unshakable, which is only beneficial to us. Why would I not pursue this path?”

Upon hearing Old Master Mu’s words, Lu Tianxing took a deep breath and said solemnly, ”Elder Mu, do you really believe that Tang Qingyun sincerely wishes to marry Qingxue? Will Qingxue genuinely be willing to marry into the Tang Family? I believe you’ve also speculated on the Tang Family’s ulterior motives; their desire to marry Qingxue isn’t sincere. There’s a chance Qingxue won’t find happiness there, and the Tang Family might use the Mu Family as a stepping stone to move beyond Shu. When that time comes, do you think a greedy and ambitious Tang Family would coexist with the Mu Family peacefully?”

”That’s none of your concern, Third Young Master Lu. The Tang Family’s ambitions are not easily realized; our Mu Family isn’t easily bullied. They won’t be able to consume us.”

Old Master Mu said indifferently, ”If you’ve come here today just to discuss this matter, then you may leave. For your grandfather’s sake, I’ll overlook your insolence today. You can go now.”

Old Master Mu unceremoniously issued an order to have him leave.
