Chapter 229: Chapter 198: The Woman from the Past_1

Carrying the blood of the Human Clan?

And looks very much like himself?

What the heck is happening!!!

Xu Mu was a bit dumbfounded; he could never have envisioned this situation even in his dreams.

While he had been in the imperial capital for over a decade, he had hardly any contact with the pureblooded Imperial Clan, let alone have the opportunity to father any offspring.

If he had to mention someone he had been close to, it would be Princess Ming Ling Yulan of the Imperial Clan from decades ago.

However, they had only been physically close, with the most contact being limited to touching hands; it wouldn’t have been possible for them to have had a child.

“Could it just be a coincidence?”

In this vast world, anything was possible. Although the chances were slim, it wasn’t impossible.

Noway it could be!

How slim must the chances be!

The odds were equivalent to winning the jackpot ten times in a row with lottery tickets.

This mixed-blood member of the Imperial Clan is definitely related to me!

Xu Mu thought to himself.

Though he was shocked, he maintained a calm exterior, walked to the podium, and knocked on the desk—there was no blackboard here.

The classroom was much like the private academies of humans, yet was far more luxurious and spacious than ordinary ones.

At the sound of knocking, all the young boys and girls turned to look.

It was then that Xu Mu noticed a majority of the students in the classroom were of mixed blood, with only a few pureblooded ones. Their cultivation stages were all low, none surpassing Qi Cultivation.

This must be a class for the dregs then!

Xu Mu thought to himself.

However, this was only natural, as the genuinely exceptional members of the Imperial family wouldn’t have time to learn music. Only those descendants with no talent who learned these somewhat useless skills and knowledge, their future was more about management.

Occasionally, these individuals would also be used as tools for marriage alliances, which was considered making use of waste!

Seeing everyone looking at him, Xu Mu introduced himself, “I’m Xu Er, your music teacher from now on! Of course, you can also ask me questions besides music, as long as I can answer them!”

“Nowyou all give a self-introduction! Starting from you!”

Just as Xu Mu’s second self was familiarizing himself with the environment of the imperial palace while inquiring about the identity of a young boy, he suddenly encountered an unexpected problem.

“The impudent brat who killed my pet! Come to the place where we first met! Otherwise, your daughter will die!”

After reading the message in the jade slip via his Divine Intent, Xu Mu’s face turned ice-cold, and he crushed the jade slip.

“Where was Ling’er kidnapped?”

Xu Mu asked his eldest son, Xu Sheng, who was standing before him.

“It was on the way back to our White River City from the Liyang Sect!”

“Bring me the person who sent the message. I’ll interrogate him personally!”

“Yes!”

Xu Sheng nodded and immediately summoned the outside man to come in. “Greetings, Ancestor!”

A middle-aged man in a Yellow Robe, with an anxious expression, walked in. He didn’t dare to raise his head, and after taking a few steps forward, he knelt down.

Although Xu Mu rarely made an appearance, his fame was renowned in White River City. Everyone respected him as a god.

“Explain what happened at that time.”

Xu Mu waved his sleeve and sat back on the chair.

“Yes! After we sold the goods with the young miss, we took the Flying Boat back from the Cloud Peak Mountain Range. Halfway through, several Tier Five flying monster beasts suddenly attacked us!

The young miss fought them off herself, but during the fight, the Flying Boat was severely damaged and couldn’t fly anymore. The young miss asked us to rest and told us that she had already contacted the market city, and an Artifact Refiner would come for repairs!

We spent the night in the forest. The following day, the young miss and her cousin were not coming out of the tent. After calling out several times without receiving a response, I cautiously went in to check. I searched every corner of the tent, but there was no sign of the young miss or her cousin. The only thing found was this jade slip!

Every word I’ve said is authentic! Please judge wisely, Ancestor!”

The middle-aged cultivator trembled as he spoke.

As a leader protecting the merchant team, he had no clue about the missing mistress, which was a serious dereliction of duty. He feared that Xu Mu would vent his anger and slap him to death.

While Xu Mu kept silent, his aura as a Golden Core Stage cultivator had scared the man out of his wits.

“You may leave now.”

Xu Mu didn’t make things difficult for him and waved him off with his hand.

The middle-aged man is a cultivator nurtured by the Xu family, and his strength is even less than that of Xu Ling and Zhang Yu. If the other party could easily kidnap Xu Ling and Zhang Yu, how could he possibly notice it?

“Yes, yes!”

Yun Wu did not expect Xu Mu to let him off so casually and he quickly retreated out of gratitude and relief.

“Husband, I heard Ling’er has gone missing. What happened?”

Upon receiving the news, Ye Yingying hurriedly ran over, her face filled with anxiety.

Thanks to the increase in her cultivation and the Stay Age Pill, Ye Yingying’s appearance hasn’t aged, resembling a girl in her late teens.

“Madam!”

When Xu Sheng saw Ye Yingying, he habitually bowed.

Xu Sheng’s biological mother is Leng Yuening. To distinguish, he has always addressed Ye Yingying as ‘madam’.

“Mmmh!”

Ye Yingying nodded and quickly approached Xu Mu.

“Don’t worry! Everything will be fine!”

Xu Mu showed a smile, stood up intending to pat Ye Yingying’s head, but considering Xu Sheng’s presence, he only patted her shoulder.

“What exactly happened? Ling’er has so many high-tier talismans and magic artifacts on her. How could something happen! How could it!”

“See for yourself!”

Xu Mu handed her the jade slip.

After seeing it, Ye Yingying asked Xu Mu, “Who is this person? Do you know her, Husband?”

“Mmmh!”

Xu Mu nodded.

“As for who she is, I guess you could call her a senior! As for her specific identity, even I am not clear!”

Considering the manner of her speech in the Cloud Peak Mountain Range, and the information revealed, there was only one other possibility, the mysterious female creature that almost drained him dry.

The term creature was used, because until now Xu Mu still can’t be sure whether it’s a human or a ghost.

Decades have passed and Xu Mu had almost forgotten about it, but now she suddenly appeared and kidnapped Xu Ling.

It wasn’t strange for her to recognize Xu Ling. After all, Xu Ling was part of the fleeing party back then. Although her appearance and physique had greatly changed, her aura hadn’t, and with her strength, she could easily identify her through her aura.

Hearing Xu Mu say he knew the person, Ye Yingying slightly relaxed.

“Husband, why is she looking for you?”

“I don’t know!”

Xu Mu shook his head with a wry smile.

He couldn’t possibly mention the fact that she had nearly killed him, could he?

“So what do we do now?”

“I’ll go and see! You all just stay here and watch over the house!”

For his daughter and son-in-law, even if it were a den of dragons and tigers, he would have to charge in.

If it came down to a conversation, he was confident that with his current level of Yin and Yang Harmony, he could definitely make her call him ‘grandfather’.

“Will there be any danger?”

Ye Yingying started to worry about Xu Mu again.

The other party’s background was mysterious, and judging from Xu Mu’s reaction, their strength was definitely extraordinary. The other party even used such methods to force Xu Mu to go, no matter how she thought about it, it couldn’t be anything good.

“Don’t worry! You still don’t know my tricks!”

Xu Mu displayed a confident smile.

“Alright then! Go quickly and return quickly!”

“Mmmh! Don’t mention it to the others!”

“I know!”

After instructing his eldest son, Xu Sheng, Xu Mu turned into a red Escape Light and disappeared into the twilight, quickly reaching the place where he had once encountered the mysterious woman.

“Senior! This junior has arrived! Please show yourself!”

Even though he had called out several times, there was no response, and he couldn’t find any traces with his Divine Intent.

“Is the timing wrong?”

Xu Mu looked up at the slowly setting sun and remembered that the mysterious woman always appeared at night.

It seemed he would have to wait a while.

While waiting, Xu Mu opened the system to check his progress this year.
