Chapter 1062: Chapter 1054: Suddenly Speaking Up

Xiao Wushuang was left speechless by the words of Qianxi. Her eyes were filled with panic, and she didn’t dare to meet Qianxi’s gaze directly. Seeing Xiao Wushuang’s demeanor, Qianxi felt speechless. She had heard from Xiao Yifei that Xiao Wushuang was quite arrogant when she slandered him before, but now she looked like a dog who had seen its master.

Slowly picking up the cup from the ground, Qianxi smiled and waved it in front of herself. The moonlight reflecting off the cup shone upon Xiao Wushuang’s face intermittently. Qianxi then slowly addressed Xiao Wushuang, who was sitting on the floor, saying, “What do you think will happen if others find out what you’re planning to do?”

As she spoke, Qianxi slowly walked over to Xiao Wushuang, crouched down beside her, and waved the cup in front of Xiao Wushuang’s eyes, seemingly implying that if others knew she wanted to use the original contents of this cup to kill Muyun, her fate might be imprisonment.

Xiao Wushuang’s forehead instantly beaded with cold sweat upon hearing these words, and even her breathing was somewhat shaky. “What’s wrong? Nothing to say?” Seeing Xiao Wushuang remain silent, Qianxi snorted coldly.

However, just as Qianxi was questioning Xiao Wushuang, the room’s door suddenly opened, drawing the attention of both of them towards it. At that moment, Mu Feng and the butler stood outside the door, looking at the scene in front of them with shocked expressions.

Seeing Mu Feng here, Xiao Wushuang immediately became tense, as if Mu Feng found out everything Xiao Wushuang intended to do, she would definitely be in big trouble. Hence, upon seeing Mu Feng, Xiao Wushuang was a bit at a loss.

On the contrary, Qianxi felt somewhat relieved upon seeing Mu Feng approach, as it saved her the trouble of having to find him personally.

“Who are you?” Mu Feng pointed at Qianxi, asking incredulously, and then felt his question wasn’t enough, so he asked another, “What’s going on here?” Mu Feng was naturally referring to the scene before him.

Mu Feng’s questioning tone was somewhat sharp, leaving Qianxi momentarily unsure how to respond. Meanwhile, Xiao Wushuang suddenly spoke up.

Xiao Wushuang slowly got up from the floor, facing Mu Feng, and coldly glanced at Qianxi, saying one word at a time, “Mu City Lord, this person pretended to be Young Master Muyun. Luckily, I discovered it in time, preventing them from causing a bigger impact!”

“Fortunately, I discovered it quickly, otherwise who knows what he would have done?” Xiao Wushuang said firmly to Mu Feng. Hearing Xiao Wushuang speak like this, Qianxi widened her eyes, surprised that Xiao Wushuang was still trying to clear herself from blame, even at this point, something Qianxi hadn’t anticipated.

However, the most astonishing thing wasn’t there yet; upon hearing, Mu Feng didn’t show any sign of doubt, slowly turning his gaze towards Qianxi, and the butler on his side seemed to have realized something too, looking enlightened.

Seeing the expressions of these two, a faint, imperceptible smile appeared on Xiao Wushuang’s face.

“Ah, sir, I saw you coming back with two subordinates last time, could it be?” The butler then suspiciously asked Mu Feng. Hearing the butler say this, Mu Feng’s brows immediately furrowed, “I never brought back subordinates.” he said incredulously, looking at the butler.

The butler sighed and recounted everything he saw that day to Mu Feng, after which Mu City Lord’s face turned dark.

“I never expected that to frame Muyun, you all would go to such lengths!” Mu Feng yelled angrily at Qianxi. Seeing Mu City Lord so furious, the happiest person was undoubtedly Xiao Wushuang, now urgently wanting more misunderstandings; the bigger the misunderstanding, the less Mu Feng’s focus would be on her.

Thus, Xiao Wushuang took advantage of Mu Feng’s rage, saying, “Yes, last time when I came to see Muyun, I felt something was off, so I thought to confirm it while he was unprepared, and it turned out as expected.” Xiao Wushuang’s tone was indignant, as if Qianxi and they really had done it.

Listening to Xiao Wushuang’s words, Qianxi felt a surge of anger; it was infuriating that this person initially framed Xiao Yifei and still planned to frame him again. As Qianxi thought, several security guards dressed in black quietly appeared outside the door.

“What’s going on, sir?” one of the guards asked Mu Feng, head lowered. Hearing this, Mu Feng couldn’t help but snort coldly, having glanced at Qianxi while his mind lingered on the miserable state of Muyun—unconscious, plagued by illness, and now taken away by Qianxi and others. Thinking about these, the anger in Mu Feng’s heart instantly spread throughout his body.

Mu Feng’s face flushed red from the anger, and his fists were tightly clenched. Just as Qianxi calmed her emotions slightly and wanted to explain, Mu Feng pointed at Qianxi, shouting at the guards beside him, “Open fire, kill her!”

Upon hearing Mu Feng’s orders, the guards dared not defy and pulled out the guns at their waist, aiming at Qianxi, “Bang bang bang!” Several gunshots sounded, and the rapidly spinning bullets flew towards Qianxi. The next second, these bullets would pierce through Qianxi’s body and end her life.

However, Qianxi’s steps swiftly maneuvered left and right, dodging those bullets one by one, and eventually, she extended her right hand quickly, as if grasping something, and retracted it.

Everyone present reacted as if they had seen a ghost, staring at Qianxi in disbelief. But the next moment, everyone was more astonished, mouths agape, when Qianxi released her right hand, and a small bullet accompanied by a crisp sound dropped to the ground.

This person had caught a bullet! The atmosphere on the scene was unsurprisingly quiet, as everyone had no idea what to say about the current situation. In their understanding, at such a close distance, no one could avoid bullets safely, let alone so many bullets, and most importantly, someone could catch a bullet.

If Qianxi knew what everyone was thinking, she would definitely sneer, for accomplishing such feats was effortless given her cultivation level. Therefore, when she heard Mu Feng command his men to fire, Qianxi wasn’t flustered in the slightest, even frighteningly calm.

Amidst the frozen atmosphere, Qianxi cleared her throat, and then everyone slightly recovered from the shock. “Can you listen to me now?” Qianxi asked, nodded at Mu Feng, however, no matter how he heard it, Mu Feng felt like it was a kind of threat.

Yet facing Qianxi’s words at this moment, Mu Feng felt a vague sense of fear and could only nod obediently. Seeing this, Qianxi glanced sideways at Xiao Wushuang, who was so scared she instantly lowered her head, afraid Qianxi might do something to her.

Seeing everyone willing to listen, Qianxi took a deep breath and calmly spoke, “The reason we took Muyun in this way wasn’t to harm him, but to wake him up. Only by waking him can Xiao Yifei’s grievance be cleared up, and the person truly responsible for Muyun’s coma can emerge.”
