I’m Really Not A Supreme Master!

Chapter 480: Honeyed Words, a Dagger at Heart Revealed

Mu Wanqing agreed.

“Wanqing, you mustn’t, the people outside are cunning and ruthless!”

“Leaving the Great Wilderness is too dangerous.”

“Wanqing, don’t listen to them.”

The villagers were all offering advice.

They did not trust the Wood Spirit Dynasty.

Mu Rantian also said:

“Girl, you…”

However, Mu Wanqing responded with determination:

“Village chief grandfather, I… I want to find my parents.”

Upon hearing this, Mu Rantian sighed deeply.

“Village chief, let me and Wanqing make the trip.”

Mu Nanshan stepped forward and said, “Nan Jing and the others have been missing for many years. Since there is a clue, we should go and look for them!”

Mu Nanjing, Mu Wanqing’s father!

“Alright!”

Ultimately, Mu Rantian could only agree.

Seeing this, Elder Mu Zhenkong was also pleased.

First let Mu Nanshan and Mu Wanqing go to the dynasty, then naturally they would be able to gradually gain the trust of the villagers; the ancestral village could ultimately escape from the sinister Great Wilderness.

“Ah, even we… will one day have to go against the ancient teachings again…”

Mu Rantian felt somewhat distressed.

“According to what we know, our ancestors forbade leaving the Great Wilderness because they feared we would bring disaster of apocalyptic proportion to the outside world.”

Indeed, Elder Mu Zhenkong explained, “After all, the ancestors found many things deep within the Great Wilderness, but they also encountered terrifying and strange occurrences… This led them to leave the teachings behind, forbidding entry into the Great Wilderness and also forbidding departure from it.”

“But in fact, since the establishment of the imperial dynasty, no such catastrophe has occurred in the outside world. You can rest assured, the outside world… is safe.”

He was aware of many secrets.

Mu Rantian could only nod and say:

“I hope so.”

Soon, Mu Wanqing, Mu Nanshan, and Elder Mu Zhenkong, among others, left.

Upon departing, Mu Wanqing left the sack of rice in the village.

They set off, leaving the Great Wilderness.

Exiting the Burial God Wasteland, they appeared on the outskirts of a town in the Eastern Wilderness.

Mu Nanshan and Mu Wanqing both felt somewhat dazed.

“Within and without the Great Wilderness, it’s as if they are two different worlds… In the outside world, there is no oppressive evil force.”

Mu Nanshan muttered.

Outside the Great Wilderness… indeed, it was more conducive for cultivating.

“Go to the imperial dynasty, there the Spiritual Energy will be even more abundant!”

Elder Mu Zhenkong spoke up!

That evening.

“Elder Mu Zhenkong returns!”

A voice spread throughout the Imperial City of the Wood Spirit Dynasty.

Imperial City took notice!

Emperor Mu Qingcang and Empress Shangguan Tongruo personally went out to greet them, followed by numerous officials.

Accompanied by Mu Nanshan and Mu Wanqing, Elder Mu Zhenkong approached the grand hall.

“Hahaha, the ancestral village has finally sent emissaries, my heart is greatly comforted!”

Emperor Mu Qingcang approached them first, his face alight with laughter.

“Reporting to His Majesty, your humble servant has returned without dishonor. This is Mu Nanshan from Wood Spirit Village, and her…”

Elder Mu Zhenkong introduced, “She is the awakened Wood Spirit Heavenly Body from the ancestral village, Mu Wanqing!”

Upon those words, everyone’s gaze uniformly fell upon Mu Wanqing.

“Wood Spirit Heavenly Body!”

“To think it was such a young girl who has awakened…”

“What a pity…”

The officials’ eyes showed a mix of envy, admiration, and regret!

“Wanqing, is it?”

Empress Shangguan Tongruo had already stepped forward, her face beaming with a kind smile:

“This is wonderful, ever since the emperor and I heard about the ancestral village, we were truly overjoyed. Now that you have come, it is our fortune.” ℞ᴀɴ∅ΒЁṧ

“From today onwards, you are a part of the imperial dynasty!”

She waved her hand, saying:

“Prepare a feast! Tonight, I and His Majesty will have a good reunion with Wanqing and the others!”

The Imperial City instantly buzzed with excitement.

That night, there was a grand banquet.

Emperor Mu Qingcang and Empress Shangguan Tongruo personally sat with Mu Nanshan and Mu Wanqing.

“Ladies and gentlemen!”

Emperor Mu Qingcang raised his cup, and said:

“It is my wish to confer upon Mu Wanqing the title of Princess, and Mu Nanshan, the title of Marquis Nanshan!”

The officials were even more astounded.

Such honors were considered extremely high!

Many with hidden agendas shook their heads, gradually dismissing their thoughts.

Meanwhile, Mu Nanshan and Mu Wanqing felt somewhat at a loss.

Having always lived in the Great Wilderness, they had never encountered such matters, and they were momentarily bewildered.

“Sister Wanqing,”

At this moment, Princess Mu Wanxiu, carrying a glass of wine with a beaming smile, approached and said:

“Now you will be a princess too, I am truly happy for you!”

“Come, my sister, I toast to you!”

Mu Wanqing could only awkwardly raise her cup.

In the following days, Mu Nanshan and Mu Wanqing were arranged to stay in the palace.

They were provided with luxurious clothing and sumptuous food, while the Emperor and Empress displayed immense concern.

Everything they used was almost the best.

Mu Wanqing’s living quarters were arranged next to Mu Wanxiu’s.

Mu Wanxiu showed unparalleled enthusiasm, visiting Mu Wanqing daily to cultivate their relationship.

“Princess, may I ask… do you know if, a few years ago, a man and a woman came to the Imperial Dynasty seeking a method to save the Sacrificial Spirit?”

This question, Mu Wanqing had asked Mu Wanxiu many times already.

“Wanqing, you shouldn’t be so anxious. Only my mother the Empress and the Emperor are privy to that information, and they will be meeting with you in a few days. Then, you can ask them yourself,” said Mu Wanxiu, smiling.

“Here, sister, this is the Ice Silkworm Clothes I wove for you by hand.”

“Sister, I made some pastries today. Try some.”

Mu Wanxiu’s concern for Mu Wanqing was almost meticulous.

But Mu Wanqing always rejected the royal family’s care.

She hardly used any of the fabrics and silks that were sent to her.

One day, Mu Wanxiu came to Mu Wanqing’s sleeping quarters in tears.

“Princess… what’s wrong?” Mu Wanqing asked.

Mu Wanxiu sobbed and said:

“Sister… I might be repudiated from my engagement.”

“The Emperor has betrothed me to Young Sect Master Leng Shaofeng of the Green Sun Sect, but my aptitude is too poor, and the Green Sun Sect might look down on me…”

“If only my constitution were a little better, I don’t need to awaken as a Wood Spirit Heavenly Body, just awakening as a Wood Spirit Mysterious Body would be enough…”

Her eyes, brimming with hope, looked at Mu Wanqing and said:

“Sister, can you help me?”

Mu Wanqing sighed upon hearing this.

“I’m sorry, Princess… I can’t help you.”

Her own awakening as a Wood Spirit Heavenly Body was a gift from Senior Li.

How could she have the qualification to give someone else what Senior Li had bestowed upon her?

Besides, she didn’t bring any treasures with her; she had left them all behind in Wood Spirit Village.

“Sister, please help me, I’m begging you… I really need this marriage, the Dynasty needs it too, we’re all family!”

“Just help me awaken as a Wood Spirit Mysterious Body and in the future, I will convince the Emperor to pass the throne to you, okay?” Mu Wanxiu pleaded incessantly.

Mu Wanqing also displayed a trace of compassion in her eyes, but she could only shake her head and say:

“I’m sorry, Princess… I really can’t.”

Upon hearing this, a deep disappointment flashed in the depths of Mu Wanxiu’s eyes.

She left.

That night.

“Is Princess Wanqing present?”

An eunuch came, smiling cheerily, and said:

“Princess Wanqing, the Empress Dowager calls for you.”

Mu Wanqing hastily followed the eunuch.

She had waited too long for this day.

Soon, the eunuch led her to the Empress’s sleeping quarters.

Inside, Mu Wanxiu was sitting next to Empress Shangguan Tongruo.

Showring a gentle smile, Shangguan Tongruo looked at Mu Wanqing and said:

“Wanqing, are you getting used to life in the palace?”

Mu Wanqing replied, “Thank you for your concern, Empress. Everything is fine…”

She bit her lower lip and said:

“Empress, I dare to ask, the man and woman who came to the Imperial Dynasty years ago seeking a method to save the Sacrificial Spirit, where did they go?”

But Empress Shangguan Tongruo did not answer. Instead, she let out a soft sigh and said:

“Wanqing, we are all family, aren’t we?”

“You’ve heard about Wanxiu’s situation.”

“The Emperor and I have treated you well, so I hope you’re not so selfish.”

“Tell me the method for awakening as a Wood Spirit Heavenly Body, can you? If the Dynasty grows stronger, it’s good for you too, right?”

Hearing this, Mu Wanqing’s heart skipped a beat.

She understood…

The method for awakening as a Wood Spirit Heavenly Body, in exchange for information about her parents!

With a wry smile, she shook her head and said:

“Your Majesty, my awakening as a Wood Spirit Heavenly Body was simply bestowed by another. How could I possibly know such a secret method?”

In Empress Shangguan Tongruo’s eyes, there seemed to be a tinge of regret as she said:

“You really won’t tell?”

“What a pity, my sincere heart, fed to the dogs.”

She beckoned with her hand.

Suddenly, an elder stepped forward from behind.

Mu Zhenfeng!

The entire palace was enveloped by a kind of aura, cutting it off from the outside world.

“Empress… what are you…”

Mu Wanqing’s face turned pale.

“I bestowed upon you wealth and honor, you should know to return the favor!”

Empress Shangguan Tongruo’s face was icy as she stated:

“Don’t blame me for being heartless if you are ungrateful, the thing you won’t give, I will take it myself!”

Mu Wanqing’s face changed drastically, she turned to flee.

But Mu Zhenfeng had already struck out with his palm.

The overwhelming Spiritual Power coming head-on sent her flying…

Bang!

She crashed heavily onto the ground, coughing up blood.

“Do it.”

Empress Shangguan Tongruo coldly ordered:

“Open up her heart, extract her precious blood, let it benefit my daughter!”

Her words were as cold as a knife!

In Mu Zhenfeng’s hand, there appeared a silver, shining, cold dagger.

Next to Empress Shangguan Tongruo, eagerness was visible on Mu Wanxiu’s pretty face as she said:

“Hurry, hurry, I can’t wait to become a Wood Spirit Heavenly Body!”
