"A thousand volumes of the mortal world, nine stars gather together..."
Chu Tianxiao's eyes became brighter and brighter: "It really deserves to be the special prize... The formation is divided into two parts, and there is a mysterious meaning that is hard to explain. If we judge it by the level of the treasure, it must be at least at the level of the Soul Awakening Realm..."
"More importantly, this formation diagram is directly integrated into my sea of consciousness. It is simple and easy to understand, simple and unpretentious, and can be used at the Refining Realm stage. It is just like it was specially prepared for me... It's a pity that it is a temporary disposable item... But think about it, if it weren't for this, this crappy system wouldn't be so considerate..."
"It's just... my current realm is too low, I can only exert less than 10% of my power..."
"In that case... I have to make up for it in other ways... Hmm, let me think about it..."
Chu Tianxiao pondered for a moment, and a crazy plan gradually took shape in his mind...
"What should I call this? A rich and handsome man taking over the concubine? The concubine failed to show off and was captured? The concubine's training plan?"
Chu Tianxiao thought about this and couldn't help but feel a little bit of evil fun, a smile flashed across the corner of his mouth.
After thinking for a while, he completed the entire plan, went through all the details one by one, corrected a few deficiencies, and made some enhancements. After that, he withdrew his thoughts, looked at what was in front of him, paused, turned around and saw Mu Liuling still looking hesitant, so he smiled and said, "If you have something to say, just say it. It's uncomfortable to keep it in your heart."
The Big Prodigal System had already made it clear that all activities were only carried out in the mind. Even the lucky stone that suddenly appeared could appear in Chu Tianxiao's tightly clenched palm and be used immediately. So in Mu Liuling's eyes, he could only see Chu Tianxiao staring blankly and thinking all the way, and it was impossible for him to infer more information.
If not, how could Chu Tianxiao dare to call Mu Liuling to his side when the system kept beeping
At that moment, Mu Liuling did not notice anything unusual, and just said respectfully: "Please forgive me, Young Master. Liuling does have one thing that I do not understand - we won a great victory today, but you do not seem to be that happy? Instead, your brows are furrowed, thinking all the way..."
"Well... Young Master, be happy. Even if you have any worries, today is still a big victory. Why not put your worries aside and celebrate first?"
Although the time was short in the past few days, Mu Liuling could see Chu Tianxiao's fatigue. Seeing that Chu Tianxiao seemed to be in low spirits after finally winning a great victory, her heart was inexplicably touched. After she said the first half of the words, she unexpectedly said the latter part...
Of course, she regretted it as soon as she said it.
How could he say that in such a casual tone? Is this what a lackey like me should say
Fortunately, Chu Tianxiao didn't seem to notice these little emotions. He just shook his head and said, "Celebrate? Haha... Let's talk about it after we survive tonight."
"Young Master? What did you say?" Mu Liuling heard this and was surprised, not caring about his previous little emotions. Chu Tianxiao did not answer, but suddenly looked up at the sky and said meaningfully: "...It's getting dark."
"Huh?" Upon hearing this, Mu Liuling looked at Chu Tianxiao with even more confusion.
"… Liu Ling, get ready."
Chu Tianxiao pondered for a moment and spoke word by word.
"Tonight... we have guests."
"Guest?" Mu Liuling didn't understand what he meant, and frowned slightly. "It's getting late today. If you really want to visit, you should have come with the previous group of people, or come tomorrow... If you come now, I'm afraid you will be an unwelcome guest."
“It’s a bit more serious than a hostile guest…” Chu Tianxiao waved his hand, “But it doesn’t matter. What’s coming will come back sooner or later. Anyway, I never expected to alienate those two people into strangers in one go… Besides, I heard that the man vomited blood again, and his situation is not good. This time the excitement is even greater. If someone doesn’t take action at this time, it would be strange… But fortunately, the old man should not come this time. After all, I was very angry with him at the critical moment…”
"Liu Ling? Someone? That person? Grandpa? What do you mean? Young Master, what are you talking about? Liu Ling is almost confused." Mu Liu Ling shook his head in confusion. Chu Tianxiao heard this and chuckled, "Liu Ling, remember one thing. In the future, if you don't understand what the young master says, just... forget it. Anyway, I don't want you to understand."
"… "
"But now I have a few things for you to do. Remember, my life is at stake, so don't be careless!"
Mu Liuling was shocked when he heard this: "Is your life at stake? Is there any danger tonight, young master? Then... then we should tell the old lady right away and ask the whole mansion to be on high alert..."
"No... there's no need to alarm mother. I can handle this matter, and I'm the only one who can handle the Purple Robe Marquis' Mansion right now... Remember not to reveal any flaws, otherwise it won't just be me who'll be in danger, but most likely... the entire mansion!"
Mu Liuling trembled all over after the words fell, but she was an elite of the Mu family back then. Although she was shocked, she quickly calmed down and nodded solemnly, "Liuling understands. If the young master has any instructions, please let Liuling do it."
"Don't be too nervous..." Chu Tianxiao smiled slightly, "In this world, many things seem to be beneficial, but in fact they are not. It seems to be a dead end, but there is still hope. This level will have to be passed sooner or later. If it is handled well, this matter will not only not be a disaster, but also gain a lot of benefits. Even if it fails, I, your young master, can still save my life..."
Hearing Chu Tianxiao's relaxed tone, Mu Liuling also breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the young master was confident about what he was doing, so he just had to do his bidding.
"Well, let me tell you about the necessary arrangements... this... this... that... there... here... pick some calm people with average cultivation to work with you on this. People with high cultivation... oh, they can't help... Oh, and Qiu Ming... He should have been sent back? Tell him that if he does as I say, at least his descendants will be safe, and..."
"… "
"Well, that's about it. Let's do it this way. Do you understand?"
When Chu Tianxiao whispered in her ear, Mu Liuling was so shocked that she couldn't speak. After a while, she said awkwardly, "Young Master... Are you sure there will be danger tonight?"
Chu Tianxiao nodded and said, "Of course! Otherwise, why would I make such a big show?"
"But...but..." Mu Liuling grabbed the corner of his clothes, "Why does Liuling feel that...you, you don't seem to be on guard against something, but...you are ruining the family?"
Chu Tianxiao said softly, "It's normal. The more dangerous the situation is, the more calm and composed you should be when spending money! This is the basic quality of a prodigal son. You won't understand even if I tell you..."
"Oh... Oh, yes, is that so..." Mu Liuling felt dizzy, and all her previous emotions were thrown out of her mind. She forced herself to calm down, said to Chu Tianxiao, "Young Master, be careful," and hurriedly left to prepare for the matter...
Chu Tianxiao watched her disappearing back, shook his head, turned around and hummed a little tune as he returned to his bedroom. As soon as he opened the door, he drove away the "bedroom servants" as usual, then stretched out his hands, fell on the bed, and stretched out his body.
After a short nap, Chu Tianxiao opened his eyes.
"Well... Next, it's time to meet tonight's unexpected guest..."
With a thought in mind, Chu Tianxiao got down from the spacious bed in the blink of an eye, opened a bamboo basket, took out a jar of fine wine and a few bowls of side dishes, and placed them in front of the desk.
The bamboo chopsticks turned lightly, making a ding-dong sound. After an unknown amount of time, Chu Tianxiao's eyebrows gathered, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Here it comes."
Before he finished speaking, a breeze suddenly blew in from the window, and then a graceful figure appeared on the window sill. The woman had long hair down to her waist, and the moonlight was shining down, cold as ice, but her eyes seemed to be burning with red fire, emitting a fiery murderous intent...
"Thanks to the system, I can roughly tell... This must have surpassed the twelve major perfections of the Refining Realm..."
"It also exceeds the Mingyuan realm..."
"The remaining gap is too big to be seen, but at least it is also the lower realm of Tongxuan..."
"Hmm... The Queen herself took action, using a secret method to obtain the power of Tongxuan, and came here on the moon, intending to crush me with the force of thunder and kill a small ant of the fourth level of the Refining True Realm?"
Chu Tianxiao smiled and spun the bamboo chopsticks lightly in his hand.
"This script is becoming more and more interesting..."
