Mu Feichen took a deep breath and gently closed his eyes.

A breath's time has passed!

He really couldn't take it anymore!

To him, this was simply the ultimate humiliation!

Kneeling like he would to an ancestor, to a useless person... he couldn't swallow this indignity!

Mu Feichen's body began to tremble violently, his face turned red, veins bulging, and his eyes almost bursting.

However.

It was as if he was being toyed with.

Just when he was about to explode.

Suddenly!

Zhu Qilue sighed long and began to speak slowly. "Ah—this matter is complicated and extremely significant... I must consider it carefully. It's a very dangerous matter, and I don't want to involve Mr. Mu, because it might cost lives."

Mu Feichen just moved, prepared to turn hostile, but upon hearing Zhu Qilue's sigh, he forcibly suppressed his rising body back down, almost suffering internal injury.

He used immense inner strength to suppress his restless body, causing his internal organs to churn violently, nearly spitting out a mouthful of old blood, but he forcefully swallowed it back down when it reached his throat.

Damn it!

Damn it!

Mu Feichen roared in anger in his heart, fuming with rage. Yet, on the surface, he had to suppress his anger, for success was within grasp, having already knelt on one knee, he couldn't let the kneeling be in vain!

"Rest assured, Young Master, whatever difficulties you have, you can tell me. I can try to help solve them. After all, this is my place, and I'm quite familiar with it."

He suppressed his anger, gritting his teeth as he forced a smile.

"This could cost your head, are you really willing to do it?"

"No deceiving!"

"Hmm..."

Zhu Qilue nodded and fell silent again.

Mu Feichen was startled, was this guy deliberately toying with him?! Being silent again?!

He's still kneeling on the ground, and he's not telling him to get up; this is all wrong! Does he really think of himself as a noble Young Master of the Fire Clan?!

He cursed inwardly, but he still had to put on a flattering smile, almost driving him to a split personality.

Fortunately, this time Zhu Qilue didn't remain silent for long. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

One breath later.

Zhu Qilue finally noticed Mu Feichen was still kneeling on the ground, hurriedly extended both hands to help him up.

"Oh! Mr. Mu, why are you still kneeling on the ground?! I'm really sorry, I get lost in thought when contemplating matters, and momentarily forgot, I am truly sorry!"

"No... no problem..."

Mu Feichen gritted his teeth, forced a smile uglier than crying, and tremblingly stood up. By then, his legs were numb, almost unable to support the weight of his body, wavering as he stood straight, almost falling down.

He had never knelt like this before, didn't expect even his feet would lose sensation from kneeling.

Looking at Zhu Qilue's apologetic smile, he hated him so much his teeth ached, nearly smashing his clenched fist into Zhu Qilue's face.

Suddenly.

He found himself unable to comprehend Zhu Qilue anymore.

What exactly does this guy mean, is he toying with him, or is he genuinely fooled?

Mu Feichen swallowed with a gulp, a bead of cold sweat formed on his forehead, trickling down his cheek.

No matter how she observed, she couldn't find the slightest flaw in Zhu Qilue.

This means the other party still trusts him deeply, not seeing through his scheming.

After repeatedly confirming, the boulder hanging in his heart finally fell, and he let out a long sigh of relief.

"Young Master, please speak without hesitation, what do you need me to do?"

"We came to this Nameless Village, on one hand it is to avoid, you know the reason, to evade Gong Wenyao. On the other hand, we intend to..."

Zhu Qilue closed his mouth, scanning the empty surroundings, ears pricked for eavesdroppers.

Mu Feichen couldn't hold back, urging impatiently, "Intend what?"

Zhu Qilue furrowed his brow, speaking in a low voice, "We intend to enter Wenyu City."

"Enter Wenyu City?!"

"Shh, keep it down. I know, entering Wenyu City is a major crime, anyone entering will be killed by the Water Clan. But we have no other choice, because my sister Zhu Ruoling may have been taken in by Lan Zhengqing, I must ensure her safety, so we can only choose to enter Wenyu City."

"Zhu Ruoling is in Wenyu City?!"

"Hmm... I guess she's inside, so I need to confirm. I know this is your territory, and you are very familiar with the surroundings. I just want to ask you, is there any secret passage into Wenyu City that we could use?"

Zhu Qilue's expression was sincere, serious, solemn, not at all joking in demeanor.

If someone else said these words, Mu Feichen would probably have laughed out loud.

Entering Wenyu City is basically seeking death!

The outcome for an outsider entering Wenyu City is death!

But because this question was from Zhu Qilue, seeing as he didn't look like he was joking, perhaps he really intended to enter Wenyu City to find Zhu Ruoling.

"Young master, this matter is probably..."

"It's alright! If you feel troubled, you don't have to answer me. I was just asking casually, thinking your Guiyuan Biao Bureau might have a way to freely enter and exit Wenyu City, didn't expect that this is impossible."

Zhu Qilue lightly shook his head, sighing.

Mu Feichen furrowed his brows tightly, not expecting Zhu Qilue would make such a request. Entering Wenyu City is harder than ascending to heaven!

He too fell silent, rubbing his chin, carefully observing the other party's every move.

After a long time.

Mu Feichen suddenly raised his head, a trace of cold light flashed in his eyes.

"To be honest, I do have a secret passage that can allow us to sneak into Wenyu City."

...

At the moment.

At the entrance of the Biao Bureau.

Lin Fan was stopped by a coquettish voice, the voice gentle but carrying an overbearing tone, making one quite uncomfortable.

He looked around.

Damn, there's plenty of space around me, enough for three or four people to enter, why should I move?!

Couldn't the adjacent road be used?!

Must one walk through the middle?!

Who is so arrogant?!

He turned angrily, ready to retaliate, but was immediately stunned.

Behind him stood an ice-cold beauty, her face stern, eyes showing disdain and contempt, staring coldly at Lin Fan.

Her snow-white skin paired with a light blue dress made her look like an icy fairy from a snow world, exuding a chill that made people want to get close yet had to keep their distance, unable to offend.

Among all the beauties he knew, this face could be considered top-notch, scoring at least 9.5 out of 10!

This was a very high score!

Unconsciously, Lin Fan became enamored, blinking and staring intently.

Just when he was enjoying the sight.

Without warning!

A figure flashed in front of him, blocking his view.

A little maid dressed as a maid stood before him, arms akimbo, eyes wide with anger, yelling, "What are you staring at?! Be careful or I'll gouge your eyes out!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Fan was instantly infuriated.

Aren't beauties meant to be looked at?! Besides, just looking for a couple of seconds and you threaten to gouge out my eyes, how overbearing!

"Can't even look?"

"No!"

"Then your lady should wear a mask, since anyone who sees her has to have their eyes gouged out, better to wear a mask for the benefit of humanity, to avoid blinding people."

Lin Fan smirked, rolling his eyes as he spoke.
