Mu Qinglan knew this person.
It was Mu Hu, a youth that always followed behind Mu Ye. Mu Hu was always attentive towards Mu Ye and wanted to please him all the time. He had also done quite a few dirty things for Mu Ye.
Now, it looks like Mu Hu had actually come to bother her instead.
It seemed that Mu Ye couldn’t even wait half a month and had sent someone to cause trouble for her!
Mu Qinglan sneered. “Here I was, thinking who came knocking. Turns out it’s just Mu Ye’s dog.”
Once she said that, Mu Hu’s face twisted into an ugly expression.
“You’re digging your own grave!”
Before he finished speaking, Mu Hu had already let loose a punch!
Mu Hu was still a Rank 7 in Yuan Energy, so he thought that dealing with a Rank 5 Mu Linghan would be as easy as a walk in the park!
The strong fist flew forward, but Mu Qinglan merely smiled suddenly, and also raised her hand to let out a punch!
It was a direct confrontation!
The rest of them looked at each other, all with the same thoughts running in their minds.
Mu Linghan was crazy!
He used to be great and powerful, but his strength level was just average now, yet he dared to meet fist with fist at this time?
Bang!
A loud impact sounded out, and the two fists collided!
“Brother Mu Hu must have beaten that Mu Linghan to the ground!”
“That’s eight! This kind of trash has no need for Brother Mu Ye to personally take action. We can just deal with him with a single punch…”
The man who was talking arrogantly trailed off, his eyes widening as he looked ahead. Shock was obvious in his eyes, as though he had seen something incredible.
In the small room, Mu Linghan, who was supposedly easy to take down with one punch, was still standing upright, looking none the worse for wear. Meanwhile, Mu Hu’s face was red, and his body was also faintly trembling.
The two had confronted each other, but Mu Linghan was the one with the upper hand!
Mu Qinglan really had nothing to say about the intelligence of these few people here.
Even though her Yuan Energy had been damaged greatly, and her realm had regressed, how could they even compare to her physical body strength in the first place?
Besides, she hadn’t been slacking off in the past three months.
Trying to find satisfaction in beating someone down like her was simply a stupid thing to do!
“You… you…”
The first thing that Mu Hu felt was shock, and then an abrupt realization that regardless of Mu Linghan’s current state, he was once a powerful person at Primary Yuan Realm!
Even without Yuan Energy, it was easy enough for Mu Linghan to deal with Mu Hu!
When he thought of this, Mu Hu immediately broke out in cold sweat and looked at Mu Linghan, who was calm and indifferent. Surprise and dissatisfaction welled up in Mu Hu’s heart.
This guy was obviously a cripple already, so how could he still be so strong?!
He definitely needed to teach Mu Linghan a lesson today!
However, just as he was about to move, Mu Linghan suddenly smirked.
Mu Hu’s heart sank in dread when he saw the smirk, an uneasy feeling creeping into him!
In the next moment, Mu Linghan opened his fist into a palm and directly gripped Mu Hu’s wrist, bending it backwards ruthlessly!
Crack!
A crisp crack sounded out. Mu Qinglan had actually broken Mu Hu’s wrist!
The pain was intense and suddenly, and Mu Hu paled immediately.
“M-My hand!”
The rest of the people were rooted to the spot in shock, and when they heard the harsh scream, they started to crowd around Mu Hu in panic.
“Brother Mu Hu, are you alright?!”
Mu Hu wanted to slap the person who had asked him that. His wrist was broken! How could he be alright?!
“Beat him! Beat the sh*t out of him! That ungrateful punk who caused the death of his own parents…”
Mu Hu glared at Mu Qinglan viciously, and was just about to finish his curse when Mu Qinglan’s eyes suddenly turned cold and she took a step forward.
The few others who were about to rush forward actually trembled and stopped in their tracks when they saw the aura seeping out from Mu Qinglan, and none of them dared to move.
Even Mu Hu was so shocked that he didn’t finish his sentence. Then, as though he thought of something, he said angrily, “How dare you damage my wrist today! Just wait, I’ll deal with you at the family trial!”
Mu Qinglan had an indifferent expression on her face, bringing down her foot viciously…
… right onto Mu Hu’s ankle!
This move was a hundred times more painful than before!
Mu Hu almost passed out from the pain, and he looked at the youth in front of him who was looking down on Mu Hu like a god of death. Finally, terror filled Mu Hu’s heart, and his face twisted into a horrified expression.
“Today I’ve only crippled one of your hand and leg, and this is already considered showing courtesy to Mu Ye. Go back and tell him that I thank him for this… ‘care’ of his. As for the family trial, I have also prepared a generous gift to return to him.”
With that, Mu Qinglan looked at the few people in her small room who were all dumbfounded and raised her eyebrows slightly.
“Why are you still here?”
As if they had gotten permission to be released, several of them hastily lifted Mu Hu up and left without looking back.
The news spread quickly.
Many people were shocked. They didn’t expect Mu Hu, who was a Rank 7 in Yuan Energy to lose at the hands of Mu Linghan, and had even broken one hand and leg!
In these three months, there were many rumors about Mu Linghan, and many people wanted to know whether he was really crippled or not. The results of him dropping to Rank 5 had given many people confidence that Mu Linghan must have fallen into ruins and would only continue to fall.
There were also many who wanted to test their strength against Mu Linghan. After all, getting a victory over a once brilliant genius was also enough to give some people inexplicable pleasure.
However, no matter how it was, Mu Linghan was still the patriarch’s grandson, and even Mu Yu, who had been holding back for a long time, was the first person who had sent people to test him.
He didn’t expect to be slapped hard on the face by Mu Linghan!
“Mu Linghan, how dare you?!”
Looking at the miserable and pitiful state Mu Hu was in front of him, Mu Ye’s heart lit on fire, and he wanted to skin Mu Linghan immediately!
Those words that Mu Linghan spoke had been full of provocation!
“Big Brother, now is not a good time yet! That Mu Linghan still has his status, so you can’t do anything to him in Mu Mansion!”
Even if Mu Ye was quite talented, those elders from the Mu family would not let him off if Mu Ye were to kill Mu Linghan in Mu Mansion.
However…
“Hmph, of course I know that. Instead, I hope that Mu Linghan will be able to pass the family trial smoothly…”
Mu Ye clenched his fist rightly, killing intent rolling in his eyes.
As for the crowd who wanted to watch a good show, they waited for a long time but Mu Ye still did not make any move. When they carefully thought about it, they too understood.
It seems that the family trial this time would be very interesting…
On the other hand, Mu Qinglan was not bothered by any of those things at all.
She stayed in her own room and hardly ever went out.
The reason was that she needed to wait for the jade tablet to devour the remaining Yuan Energy in her body.
Mu Mansion was quiet, but everyone knew that underneath the calm, there was a storm brewing, just waiting for the right moment to burst out into the open!
Fifteen days passed in a flash.
The large training ground was filled with people today, and it was very lively. Everyone’s face was filled with unconcealed excitement, and those were the young boys and girls who were going to participate in the family trial today.
Every year, only those who emerged from the trials would be able to obtain the best resources and step onto the path of the strong!
In front of the platform of the training grounds, the head of Mu Mansion, Mu Yan, stood with a few other elders.
Mu Yan had always been a serious man, but this time, he was wearing a smile on his face as he watched the eager youngsters below.
Among these people, the future pillar of the Mu Mansion may very well be amongst them.
If there were any outstanding geniuses, that would be even better.
“Today is the day of the Mu family’s family trial! You are all the hope and future of the Mu family! The trial is simple. The elders will take you into the Nine Foot Mountain Range, but they will not interfere with anything else. After three days, whoever brings back the most cores from the primordial beast will be first!”
Luo Xi City was located at the foot of Nine Foot Mountain Range, and the Mu family would also conduct their family trial at the edge of the mountain range every year.
“However, bear in mind that you must not go into the depths of the mountain range, otherwise your lives will be in danger, and even the elders may not be able to save you. Do you understand?”
“Yes!” Everyone replied in unison.

The group of people was in high spirits, and very soon, they arrived at the edge of Nine Foot Mountain Range.
Mu Qinglan looked up at the huge mountain which looked like a huge beast on its own, lying quietly in wait. The dense trees spread as far as the eye could see, and the surroundings gave off a mysterious aura which was deep and immeasurable.
“How about we team up?”
Mu Qinglan turned her head to see Mu Ye with a sincere smile on his face, but there was a hint of something sinister underneath it.
Mu Qinglan raised her eyebrow, then smiled brightly and replied, “I couldn’t have asked for more..”
