Chapter 2399 - 2372: Conflict Rekindled

Upon hearing Mu Qingliu’s words again, Lu Tianxing immediately furrowed his brows. Mu Qingliu targeting him time and time again, even wanting to kill him, stirred a blaze of anger inside Lu Tianxing’s heart.

He was increasingly convinced that Mu Qingliu was definitely in cahoots with Tang Qingyun, otherwise she wouldn’t have pushed the marriage between Mu Qingxue and Tang Qingyun from the very beginning.

Lu Tianxing looked at Mu Qingliu with a cold expression, took a deep breath, and slowly began to speak, "Second Young Master Mu, I’ve been holding a question in my heart for a long time. Could you answer it for me?"

"Why should I answer you?"

Mu Qingliu’s tone was extremely cold, full of disdain: "If you’re trying to beg for mercy, forget it. As long as you leave our Mu Family, that’s enough. Our Mu Family does not welcome you."

Lu Tianxing seemed to not have heard Mu Qingliu’s words at all and continued, "Second Young Master Mu, I’m really curious why you keep targeting me and insist on letting Qingxue marry into the Tang Family. I really don’t know if you’re really stupid or just pretending, you know Qingxue doesn’t like Tang Qingyun, and Tang Qingyun marrying Qingxue is just a ruse to deal with me. Qingxue will definitely not be happy marrying into the Tang Family. You know all this, yet still choose to do so. Can you tell me why you’re doing this?"

"Also, can you tell me what benefits the Tang Family gave you? Did they promise you the position of the Head of the Mu Family once things are done, or something else? How could they make you speak for them so devotedly? Can you explain that to me?"

Lu Tianxing’s words were extremely sharp; the meaning was clear, you spoke so tirelessly for Tang Qingyun because you gained benefits from Tang Qingyun.

Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Mu Qingliu’s face immediately turned ugly. Lu Tianxing’s words were ruthless, clearly implying to everyone that he was a traitor.

Old Master Mu’s eyes narrowed slightly upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, intentionally or unintentionally, his gaze faintly fell upon Mu Qingliu.

"Brother, don’t listen to Lu Tianxing’s nonsense. I absolutely am not a traitor." Mu Qingliu hurriedly defended himself as he noticed Old Master Mu’s gaze on him.

"Second Young Master Mu, isn’t your explanation a bit premature? I didn’t say you were a traitor."

Lu Tianxing squinted at Mu Qingliu and said, "What I said was just speculation. Why are you so eager to explain, or are you feeling guilty?"

"You’re talking nonsense."

Mu Qingliu looked at Lu Tianxing with a grim expression, somewhat exasperated, "Who do you think you are? What qualifications do you have to marry our Mu Family’s little princess? Calling you the Third Young Master of Lu Family is elevating you, but who knows if you truly are the Third Young Master? Wandering outside for over twenty years and then suddenly claiming your roots, who knows if you’re a bastard pretending to be the Third Young Master? Are you qualified to marry our Mu Family’s little princess?"

At this point, Mu Qingliu’s tone was entirely unrestrained, even reckless, planning to directly confront Lu Tianxing. No matter what, he would stop Lu Tianxing from taking Mu Qingxue away, even if it meant tearing their relations apart.

Upon hearing Mu Qingliu’s words, Lu Tianxing’s face immediately darkened to the extreme, his eyes showed a chilling murderous intent.

As the saying goes, a dragon has scales that must not be touched, and Lu Tianxing’s reverse scale was his woman, his family. If anyone dared harm his family, they were his enemy and must die.

Mu Qingliu’s words directly touched Lu Tianxing’s reverse scale, causing a strand of murderous intent to uncontrollably emanate from his heart, a strand he could not restrain even in Mu Family.

The space filled with an aura of murder; Lu Tianxing’s entire body exuded an unrestrained hostility, targeting Mu Qingliu directly.

Feeling the intense killing intent and the death in Lu Tianxing’s eyes, Mu Qingliu uncontrollably shivered, fear filling his heart.

At that moment, he felt Lu Tianxing was no longer human, but a devil emerging from Hell, ready to tear his head off and dismember him completely. Unbeknownst to him, sweat uncontrollably seeped from Mu Qingliu’s brow, his limbs cold, as he gulped.

"Second Young Master Mu, do you really think I don’t dare kill you? Hmph, in my eyes, you’re no different from a sewer rat. Killing you is simpler than crushing an ant. If you dare say another word, I won’t mind ensuring you don’t see tomorrow’s sun."

Lu Tianxing slowly spoke, his tone filled with icy coldness like drifting snow in December, enveloping everyone from within.

Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Mu Qingliu’s face quickly sank to the deepest point. If he remained silent, he would directly admit that Lu Tianxing had threatened him, feared Lu Tianxing’s threats, making him a laughingstock among the family circles.

No matter what, he was still the Mu Family’s Second Elder; apart from Old Master Mu, his status in Mu Family was the highest. If he were threatened in his own house, spreading the news would indeed be a huge joke.

Mu Qingliu gritted his teeth and said, "What, do you want to threaten me? Did I say anything wrong? Twenty years, twenty years of time, the Lu Family spent countless resources searching without any trace, yet after twenty years you suddenly emerged, isn’t that suspicious? Third Young Master Lu, do you truly believe you are the Third Young Master?"

The more he spoke, the more Mu Qingliu felt this possibility, speaking with less restraint: "Moreover, the Lu Family always has a rule that the position of Family Head is given to the Lu Family’s extraordinary talents, your strength is so formidable, countless times stronger than Lu Haoyue’s, by logic you should be that talent. But why hasn’t Old Master of Lu Family handed you the position? Because you’re a fake."

"That’s why you’re unfit to inherit the position, yet you suddenly appear in Lu Family, forcing them to admit you as one of their own to intimidate others, making you seem like the remarkable talent to deter others, since everyone knows how fearsome such talents can be. As long as the extraordinary talent lives, few would dare provoke Lu Family."
