Chapter 2404 Mr. Mu’s Choice

He was taken aback by the words, and Mr. Mu raised his head to look at Lu Tianxing, saying in a deep voice, "Lu Family boy, this matter is not something to be taken lightly, you best be mentally prepared, and do not act recklessly."

Undeniably, after Lu Tianxing broke through to the Late Stage of Mythical, his strength reached a terrifying level, but Chen Bubai’s power was even more terrifying, definitely stronger than Tang Da by a margin. Lu Tianxing may have been able to kill Tang Da, but he might not be able to defeat Chen Bubai. Needless to say, behind Chen Bubai stood the Chen Family, with both formidable power and heritage.

"Mr. Mu, I know this is not something to take lightly, but do you think I still have a way out?" Lu Tianxing said without any fluctuation in his expression.

Hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Mr. Mu fell silent all of a sudden. Chen Bubai appearing here explained everything. Today, between Lu Tianxing and Tang Qingyun, unless one side falls, this matter will not rest. Even if Lu Tianxing wanted to stop, Chen Bubai and Tang Qingyun would not let it go.

Now, before Lu Tianxing, there are only two paths to take: first, directly admit defeat, and second, clash with Chen Bubai and tear the face of the entire Chen Family. Obviously, Lu Tianxing chose the latter, directly tearing the face of the Chen Family.

Upon seeing Mr. Mu’s silence, Mu Qingliu couldn’t sit still and hurriedly said, "Big brother, you must not act recklessly, Chen Bubai is of the Chen Family, and the Chen Family has been hidden for many years, their background is unknown to us. Going against them rashly is not a wise choice for us. Please think this through, we can’t let the Mu Family make unnecessary sacrifices."

"Yes, Mr. Mu, you must think clearly and not act recklessly."

"Yes, Mr. Mu, think thrice."

At that moment, the Mu Family members all spoke up.

If Chen Bubai had not appeared, and Mr. Mu had said he would stand by Lu Tianxing’s side, they would naturally have raised both hands in agreement. After all, everyone had witnessed the terrifying power of Lu Tianxing after his breakthrough to the Late Stage of Mythical. Forming an alliance with such a strong individual is the best thing for a noble family.

But now, with the appearance of the Chen Family, no matter how strong Lu Tianxing’s personal power is, how can he be a match against a noble family, let alone the Chen Family, which was one of the top families right under the four great families back then, having recuperated for years, is now stronger if not weaker than before?

"Is this what you all think, that you want the Mu Family to stay out of it?"

Mr. Mu finally spoke, his gaze slowly sweeping over everyone.

"Yes!"

"Good!"

Mr. Mu slammed the table and stood up immediately!

Seeing this scene, Mu Qingliu looked excited, casting a sinister glance at Lu Tianxing, thinking, this time you won’t survive.

"Chen Bubai, listen up, our Mu Family has never raised cowards, and we absolutely do not live under others’ whims."

Upon hearing Mr. Mu’s words, a sense of foreboding rose in Mu Qingliu’s heart.

"Our Mu Family does not fear challenges, nor threats. If you want to act against my Mu Family, let’s see if you have the strength. I don’t believe your Chen Family dares to fight us to the death. You might be well-hidden now, and we may not find your whereabouts, but I assure you, if you dare to make a move, you will certainly die in Beijing today."

At this moment, Mr. Mu decisively chose to stand by Lu Tianxing’s side.

Mr. Mu understood very clearly that if the Mu Family sided with the Tang Family or remained neutral, the Mu Family’s future outcome wouldn’t be any better.

As Lu Tianxing said before, the Tang Family has always had a wolfish ambition. If Mu Qingxue marries into the Tang Family, she will not have a good end. Moreover, once the Tang Family uses it as a springboard to step out of Shu, the Tang Family would not hesitate to destroy the Mu Family. Even if not, they might turn the Mu Family into a puppet under the Tang Family, which he doesn’t want to see.

Besides, he has disappointed Mu Qingxue once and doesn’t want to disappoint her again.

"Mr. Mu, do you want to go back on your word?"

Tang Qingyun’s face turned extremely grim upon hearing Mr. Mu’s words. He could not believe that Mr. Mu would say such things, openly choosing to stand against the Tang Family.

Upon hearing Tang Qingyun’s words, Mr. Mu snorted coldly, saying, "When did I renege? I’ve already married off Qingxue to you, repaying the favor owed to your Tang Family years ago. Between us, everything is settled. Whether you can take Qingxue away is your business. If you can’t, it has nothing to do with me. Moreover, when you leveraged the favor, you only said you wanted Qingxue to marry you, not that the Mu Family would help you, so don’t mix them up."

As his words fell, Mr. Mu’s voice suddenly became extremely cold, with a hint of icy sharpness: "Moreover, have you forgotten, this is the Mu Family, not your Tang Family. Don’t think that because a few ungrateful people from the Mu Family have befriended you, you can do whatever you want here. It’s not your place to dictate matters in our Mu Family. Am I right, second brother?"

Speaking, Mr. Mu’s gaze directly fell upon Mu Qingliu, his sharp eyes making Mu Qingliu feel a shiver down his spine, his back drenched in sweat.

"Yes, yes, big brother, you’re right."

Mu Qingliu could only agree with what Mr. Mu said, knowing that his earlier series of mistakes had thoroughly angered Mr. Mu. If he continued to argue, Mr. Mu would not hesitate to destroy him.

At this moment, Mu Qingliu suddenly recalled his big brother’s youthful demeanor, not much different from Lu Tianxing’s, fearless of challenges and arrogant, only he had mellowed with age and became the Family Head of the Mu Family, gradually restraining his nature.

"Chen Bubai, your strength is formidable, and the Chen Family behind you is equally frightening, but their fearsome nature doesn’t make you fearsome as an individual. It’s not difficult for the Mu Family to kill you, do you believe that?"

Mr. Mu fixed his gaze on Chen Bubai, his tone carrying a tinge of mockery, "With just you, you can’t threaten the Mu Family."

"Mu Xiuwen, do you really intend to battle to death with our Chen Family?"

At that moment, Chen Bubai’s tone was filled with sinister coldness, being rather impolite, directly calling Mr. Mu by his name, showing just how much anger was brewing in Chen Bubai’s heart.
