Mu Xiaoling left Xiao Yu behind, but there was a problem with the arrangement of the rooms. There were only two rooms in the courtyard and Xiao Yu was a man after all. He couldn't possibly live with her, could he?

Xiao Yu watched from the side with a cold gaze, but was disdainful of sharing a room with the two little girls. "This sovereign has his own arrangements."

Mu Xiaoling nodded before turning to Li'er. "Li'er, please wait on mother for today."

"Yes, miss." Li'er agreed, packed some things, and went to Nangong Wen's room.

Mu Xiaoling closed the door and took out the martial skills from her spatial ring.

Time was short, and she needed a martial skill that was neither too difficult to learn nor too lacking in power.

These martial skills were described in books, there were also bamboo slips and other jade slips, and there was even a piece of torn silk cloth.

She randomly picked up a book.

She flipped to the first page, which read: "Cultivators must practice basic fist techniques for at least three years."

No, too long.

She put it down and picked up another jade slip.

Not even that.

She examined the tattered silk cloth again. Meteor Steps?

The content on the silk cloth was extremely simple. The Meteor Steps were divided into eight steps, eight steps, and one cycle.

Mu Xiaoling's eyes lit up. She had always had good martial skills. If she could keep up, then even a fifth level martial artist would be able to deal with her.

Since she had made up her mind, she didn't waste any more time. After carefully studying the silk cloth, she ran outside to practice.

Every step of the Meteor Steps was extremely tricky and had a certain rhythm to it, just like playing a nameless song. As long as the rhythm was not disordered, it was very easy to grasp the first three steps.

Mu Xiaoling practiced for an entire night.

What she didn't know was that Xiao Yu sat on the roof and watched her for the entire night.

The next morning, while the others were still sleeping, a team of guards suddenly came and surrounded the small courtyard.

Xiao Yu sat on the rooftop and noticed them before they even got close, but he couldn't even be bothered to raise his eyes.

Mu Xiaoling hadn't slept for the entire night, so she naturally heard the sound of footsteps as she walked out of the room. The one leading the way was none other than her good cousin, Mu Jiuxiang.

Mu Jiuxiang looked at her in disdain, "Cousin, the Patriarch has informed you that there's an important guest at the front yard today. I'll have to trouble you to stay in the courtyard for one more day."

Many people had seen Mu Xiaoling's return yesterday. It wasn't a secret, so Mu Zhenqiu's arrangement wasn't out of their expectations.

"Esteemed customer, what esteemed customer, is it the crown prince?" Mu Xiaoling found this funny. "I've never seen someone becoming a bandit that's so natural."

Mu Jiuxiang snorted. "I've never seen anyone as arrogant as you."

Mu Xiaoling looked at him with a smile that wasn't a smile on her face. "Who are you calling a trash?"

Mu Jiuxiang subconsciously replied, "The trash is scolding you!"

Mu Xiaoling suddenly realized something. "Oh … The trash is scolding me. "

"You're courting death!" When had Mu Jiuxiang ever been toyed with like this? He flew into a rage and quickly threw a punch at Mu Xiaoling. His moves were sinister and wanted her life.

"Too slow." Mu Xiaoling clucked her tongue twice and moved like a meteor, arriving behind Mu Jiuxiang in a flash. Seeing him pull out a dagger from under his sleeve, Mu Xiaoling quickly used her palm and slapped the back of Mu Jiuxiang's head.

Unexpectedly, Mu Jiuxiang was unable to see the light, so he immediately spat out a large mouthful of blood and fell to the ground, dead.

Mu Xiaoling flexed her wrists. "I have 'taken care of' you in the past, but you will have to pay your debt no matter what."

Xiao Yu looked appreciatively at Mu Xiaoling. Killing didn't waste any time and was calm and witty. For the first time, he felt that this little girl was to his liking. If not for this matter, he might have spared her life.

Nangong Wen and Li'er also ran out when they heard the commotion.

Nangong Wen looked at Mu Jiuxiang, who was dead on the ground, and was shocked, "Ling'er, you beat him to death!"

"In their words, they're only trash. If they die, so be it." Mu Xiaoling didn't seem to care and walked out of the room.

Mu Jiuxiang had left his bodyguards behind in the outer sect. He had initially wanted to humiliate Mu Xiaoling, but he didn't expect that he would end up burying himself and helping Mu Xiaoling.

They were all chosen from the Mu Clan's side branch. Standing at the two sides of the entrance of the courtyard, the gate was opened, and the one who came out was not Mu Jiuxiang but Mu Xiaoling. They all had a face of surprise, "Please go back, Eldest Miss."

"Cousin died in my yard for no reason. I can't stay any longer." Mu Xiaoling ignored the warning and stepped out of the door. The guards moved and one spear after another was aimed at Mu Xiaoling.

Mu Xiaoling stepped on the Meteor Steps and used the Cloud Piercing Palm. However, he did not seem to be at a disadvantage. In just a few rounds, he had completely toppled them.

The guards couldn't believe their eyes as they stared at Mu Xiaoling. Was she really that foolish and foolish young miss?!

It was unbelievable!

Mu Xiaoling didn't even bother to look at them. "Xiao Yu, can you set up an array formation around this courtyard?"

"But …" Xiao Yu was also very curious about what the little girl was going to do, so he walked into the courtyard and laid down a killing array. "This array can only be used for exiting, as long as they don't leave, there won't be any danger to their lives."

Mu Xiaoling nodded. "Mother, you and Li'er must stay here. No matter what, you mustn't leave this courtyard even half a step. Even if the Patriarch requests you, you understand?"

Nangong Wen: "Don't worry, we know that Mother won't be able to help you. She definitely won't hold you back."

Mu Xiaoling nodded her head. "Xiao Yu and I will make a trip."

Nangong Wen looked at Mu Xiaoling worriedly, "Ling'Er, you have to be careful, don't fight with your dad head on."

"Don't worry mother." Mu Xiaoling casually said as she led Xiao Yu to the front courtyard.

At this moment, the people of the Mu family were already waiting in the living room. Mu Zhenqiu was sitting on a round chair, Second Miss Mu Yuqing and Third Miss Mu Yanfei were sitting to his left, while the Great Elder and a few other elders were sitting to his right.

Before long, he heard the attendant report, "Patriarch, the Crown Prince has arrived."

"Haha, good!" Mu Zhenqiu laughed brightly. "Qing'er, Fei'er, why don't you come with me to welcome His Highness the Crown Prince?"

Mu Yuqing and Mu Yanfei were overjoyed as they replied in unison. They followed behind Mu Zhenqiu and walked to the entrance.

In the front yard of the Mu family, the Mu family stood in two rows on both sides of the road. Two iron gates with red and red nails in them opened. The wide bluestone path led straight to the foot of the mountain.

The contestant team was magnificent, with no end in sight. They were in a festive mood, and behind them were two large wooden boxes that were carried by two people.

The leader was mounted on a snow-white horse. He had a handsome face, but there was also a hint of gentleness mixed within his handsomeness. His eyes were full of scheming. He was the current Crown Prince, Xin Mingyun.

Xin Mingyun saw that they were almost at the door, so he immediately dismounted and tossed it to the servants. He walked a few steps forward and greeted Mu Zhenqiu, "Mingyun pays his respects to the Mu Family Patriarch."

Mu Zhenqiu laughed loudly as he stroked his beard. "Haha, the crown prince is too courteous. Qing Fei, quickly come and greet the crown prince."
