Chapter 13: A Little Compromise?

“Suffer a little injustice?”

When Elder Mu and the others had rushed out of the room, they found that Li Chen had already departed.

Just as they were preparing to chase him downstairs, they suddenly heard a scream coming from the room. Without any hesitation, they swiftly turned back.

“Stop!” Mu Lao knew something was amiss as soon as he entered the room. He bellowed furiously and rushed next to Gui Jiang in three strides, his large dark sleeve mercilessly striking Gui Jiang and sending him flying.

In an instant, all the strange occurrences in the room had disappeared as if they had never happened. However, Mu Wuyi, who was lying on the bed, had a pale face, and her eyes were tightly shut; she had fainted.

Mu Lao didn’t have time to deal with Gui Jiang; he hurriedly went to check on Mu Wuyi.

After a moment, Mu Lao stood up and shook his head helplessly, “Elder Mu, the condition of Miss Wuyi is very bad. If we can’t find that young man before daybreak, not even a god descending to Earth could save her.”

Meanwhile, Li Chen leisurely walked toward the exit of the villa complex. Seeing that it was still early, he planned to first find a place to fill his stomach before heading to Qin Chang Hui’s martial arts hall.

“Sir, please wait!” At that moment, Li Chen heard Mu Si’s shout coming from behind him.

Li Chen stopped and calmly turned around, looking at Mu Si as he ran up to him.

“Sir…” Mu Si bent over, hands on his knees, gasping for breath. After catching his breath, he finally spoke, “Could you come back with me? Miss is not doing well.”

Hearing this, Li Chen slightly frowned. He was very aware of Mu Wuyi’s condition and knew that it couldn’t have worsened so quickly. He immediately asked, “What did you do?”

“It was Gui Tian Shi…I don’t know what he did, but Miss now has a pale face and is unconscious,” Mu Si said with a distressed face, far from his usual cold special-agent demeanor.

“Why should I clean up the mess caused by that exorcist?” Li Chen coldly asked, a glint of cold light flashing in his eyes. He had just managed to suppress Mu Wuyi’s poison, and these people dared to mess around!

Just then, Elder Mu and Mu Lao also caught up.

“Sir!” Elder Mu called out from a distance.

Li Chen coldly glanced at Elder Mu but said nothing.

Elder Mu came closer, looking somewhat awkward as he faced Li Chen. Just a short while ago, he had been quite harsh toward Li Chen.

“The saying goes, ‘Saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda.’ Young friend, Miss Wuyi’s life is hanging by a thread. How about we save her first?” Mu Lao’s voice, reminiscent of metal scraping against metal, rang out once again.

Although the sky was already getting light, Mu Lao’s voice still managed to send chills down one’s spine.

“So you are the Mu Lao that Gui Jiang spoke of?” Li Chen glanced at Mu Lao indifferently and calmly stated, “Firstly, I act based on my own whims; your rankings have nothing to do with me. Secondly, the sound that you’re straining to produce from your throat is truly unpleasant. If you don’t want to be silenced forever, I’d advise you not to speak in my presence!”

“You!” Mu Lao was enraged upon hearing this. However, just as he had uttered a single word, he didn’t dare to say anything more, for a sharp dagger had already been pressed against his throat.

“I’ll give you another chance. If you dare to speak in my presence again, my hand won’t hesitate!” Li Chen’s icy voice contained no emotion as he quickly withdrew the dagger and casually tossed it back to Mu Si.

This dagger had been the one that Li Chen had drawn from Mu Si’s waist in the instant he had charged at Mu Lao.

Mu Lao stood there, not daring to utter another word, but his mind had already been engulfed in stormy thoughts.

Mu Lao questioned his own skills. How could this young man manage to put a dagger to his throat without him noticing at all? Just who was this young man?

“Sir… whatever demands you have, just state them, we…” Mu Lao tried to placate him, but Li Chen had already raised a hand, cutting off his remaining words.

“Fine, I’ll intervene this one more time. However, I hope you’ll act wisely and not recklessly experiment on her again!” Li Chen coldly warned.

Upon hearing this, Mu Lao was overjoyed and quickly nodded in agreement, “Rest assured, sir! We will not mess with Wuyi again!”

Moments later, inside Mu Wuyi’s room.

Li Chen stood beside Mu Wuyi’s bed with a cold expression. Mu Lao, Mu Lao, Mu Si, and Gui Jiang sequentially stood behind him.

“Originally, I had suppressed the Three Corpses Gu within her body. With this Spirit Gathering Formation present, she would have been safe for a decade,” Li Chen shook his head slightly, his eyes showing a hint of complexity as he looked at Mu Wuyi, “Unfortunately… given my current situation, I can only secure two more months for her at most…”

Hearing this, Mu Lao’s expression darkened, as if he had aged significantly in an instant. The most painful thing in life is to have just gained hope, only for it to turn into despair in the blink of an eye…

It had initially been a decade! With ten years, Mu Lao could have accomplished a great many things! He might have even found out who had cursed her in secret!

But now! All of a sudden, it had become just two months!

For Mu Wuyi, who was just twenty years old, two months was far too short!

Immediately, Mu Lao turned his furious gaze towards Gui Jiang, “This is all your doing!”

Gui Jiang felt a chill in his heart and unconsciously shrunk his neck. He knew he was done for.

Not to mention him, even Mu Lao, who seemed to be on equal footing with Elder Mu under normal circumstances, would meet a gruesome end if he ever angered Mu Lao!

In the world of martial arts, although people often exist outside of societal norms, how many could truly transcend the power of the state apparatus…

“Sir… Is there really no other way?” Mu Si asked unwillingly.

“Unless my strength advances further, but achieving that within two months is nearly impossible,” Li Chen had shaken his head, his brows slightly furrowed. Enhancing one’s strength was never an easy feat, especially within such a short timeframe.

Upon hearing Li Chen’s words, Elder Mu’s heart stirred, and he hastily inquired, “Sir, the expert who laid down this formation once mentioned that this room is an excellent place for cultivation for people like you…”

“That won’t do. She must stay on this bed for the entire two months. If she leaves even for a moment, she will surely perish,” Li Chen, pointing towards Mu Wuyi, had shaken his head.

Elder Mu had paused upon hearing this, but he understood the other implication in Li Chen’s words—that if one could cultivate on this bed, then perhaps two months would be enough!

Right now, the most urgent matter was to save his granddaughter’s life; Elder Mu had no time to consider the norms of male and female interactions.

Elder Mu clenched his teeth and plucked up the courage to say, “Sir, this is the only way we have. Could you make a sacrifice to save a life?”

After saying this, Elder Mu wished he could slap himself; it sounded as if his granddaughter was some cheap commodity.

Li Chen hesitated for a moment, exhaled lightly, and softly said, “Fine, close the door when you leave.”

Over an hour later, an exhausted Li Chen had emerged from Mu Wuyi’s room. After his strenuous efforts, Mu Wuyi had finally stabilized.

Temporarily leaving Mu Wuyi in the care of Mu Lao, Li Chen had left Villa No. 30 directly; he still had to rush to the martial arts hall to pay respects to his master, Qin Changhui.

As for Gui Jiang, the one who had caused all this trouble, he had slipped away when Mu Si wasn’t paying attention. Since Elder Mu and the others were preoccupied with Mu Wuyi’s condition, they hadn’t bothered with Gui Jiang for the time being.

In fact, they weren’t worried about Gui Jiang escaping; the demon-hunting lineage had an annual meeting at the end of each year. Gui Jiang wouldn’t dare to miss it, and they would naturally catch him then.
