24: Take Mu Xueqing back to the sect

Thinking of this.

Mu Xueqing's face grew even redder, wishing she could find a hole to crawl into.

As the dignified princess of the Cangyu Dynasty, a pure maiden, to have done such a thing was truly too shameful.

"Little Girl, what are you thinking about? This Sect Master is the Sect Master of Qingtian Sect. The reason I saved you is to take you as my Personal Disciple. Don't let your imagination run wild, alright?"

Jiang Chen saw Mu Xueqing's face, which was so red it looked like she was about to have a fever, and couldn't help but interrupt her thoughts.

If he let Mu Xueqing continue to overthink, how could he take her as a Personal Disciple?

"Ah, didn't touch me?"

Mu Xueqing was startled at first upon hearing Jiang Chen's explanation.

Then she examined her clothes, confirmed they hadn't been disturbed, and finally felt relieved.

However, very quickly, her beautiful face became even redder than before.

This wasn't from shyness, but from anger.

As the dignified princess of the Cangyu Dynasty, she had a figure and a face, and she had even offered herself, yet someone didn't even touch her. Wouldn't that make anyone angry?

"Little Girl, I'm telling you, can't you be a bit more mindful? Your Imperial Father is about to be chopped to death, and you're still spacing out here. If you acknowledge This Sect Master as your teacher, your Imperial Father might still be saved?"

Looking at Mu Xueqing's somewhat angry little expression.

Jiang Chen knew she hadn't grasped the main point, so he had no choice but to remind her.

Why was taking a female disciple so difficult now?

Unlike Night Owl and Gu Chen, why did these Little Girls have so many strange thoughts in their heads?

"Imperial Father!?"

After Jiang Chen's reminder, Mu Xueqing woke up with a start and cried out.

Her face filled with anxiety, she asked Jiang Chen, "Senior, how do you know my Imperial Father is in danger? Can you really save my Imperial Father?"

Although Jiang Chen could save her from Cui Hai, her Imperial Father was a Peak Heavenly Venerable expert.

And the rebellious Prince Bingjian was also a Peak Heavenly Venerable expert, in the same realm as her Imperial Father.

If Jiang Chen wanted to rescue her Imperial Father, he would at least have to be a Peak Heavenly Venerable, or even a more powerful Saint Realm Expert.

"Of course This Sect Master can save your Imperial Father. If you kowtow quickly, your Imperial Father might suffer fewer injuries." Jiang Chen glanced at Cangyu Imperial City and said slowly.

His words could only go so far; how to choose was up to Mu Xueqing.

"I cannot lose Imperial Father."

Mu Xueqing's eyes welled up; she paused, then knelt on the ground with determined eyes and kowtowed three times.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Disciple Mu Xueqing respectfully greets Master!!"

She had no choice. Regardless of whether Jiang Chen had the strength, she had to take a gamble.

Let alone becoming his disciple, she would not hesitate even if it meant becoming his slave or maid.

[Ding, successfully accepted a Personal Disciple, rewarded with one legendary treasure chest]

As soon as Mu Xueqing finished her apprenticeship.

A golden legendary treasure chest appeared in Jiang Chen's system inventory.

"Hmm, get up. This Master will now take you to save your Imperial Father, and then bring you back to the Sect." Seeing that the treasure chest had arrived, Jiang Chen waved a force, and he and Mu Xueqing disappeared from the spot.

Cangyu Dynasty, in a luxurious palace hall within the Imperial Palace.

A Middle-aged Man, dressed in a dragon robe and wearing a golden crown, lay covered in blood on the floor of the main hall.

Beside him stood a Middle-aged Man clad in full armor, holding a long saber.

"Haha, Mu Zhan, go to hell! The Cangyu Dynasty is mine, Cui Qiong's!" The Middle-aged Man laughed wildly, fiercely slashing his long saber towards Mu Zhan.

"I am unwilling!" Mu Zhan did not dodge the incoming long saber, but instead stared at Cui Qiong with hatred.

If looks could kill, Cui Qiong would have already been blasted into a bloody mist by him.

"Hmph, a mere ant dares to kill in front of This Sect Master?"

Just as Cui Qiong's Big Saber was about to strike Mu Zhan.

Jiang Chen appeared in the main hall with Mu Xueqing. He casually waved a force at Cui Qiong.

"Bang!"

Cui Qiong was instantly blasted into a bloody mist by Jiang Chen's force, scattering across the main hall.

"Imperial Father, are you alright?" Mu Xueqing, beside Jiang Chen, urgently helped up Mu Zhan, who was lying on the ground.

"Qing'er, how is it you? Aren't you...?" Mu Zhan looked at Mu Xueqing in disbelief.

Earlier, when he was fighting Cui Qiong, Cui Qiong had said that Mu Xueqing had been killed by his beast of a son.

At that time, he was overcome with anger, and Cui Qiong seized the opening, severely wounding him.

He never expected that Mu Xueqing, who should have been dead, not only returned but also brought a powerful expert to save him.

"Imperial Father, it was Master who saved me from Cui Hai." Mu Xueqing looked at Jiang Chen with reverence and replied to Mu Zhan.

Now, she had no doubts about Jiang Chen's strength. Being able to so easily blast apart Cui Qiong, a Peak Heavenly Venerable, meant he was immeasurably stronger than her Imperial Father, more than sufficient to be her Master.

"Hiss, Master?"

Mu Zhan scrutinized Jiang Chen, his heart trembling.

He quickly endured his injuries, knelt before Jiang Chen, and kowtowed several times.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Thank you, Senior, for saving my daughter and me. Please accept my bow."

Jiang Chen's aura was as deep as the ocean; with his Peak Heavenly Venerable divine sense, he couldn't detect any cultivation at all, appearing completely like an ordinary person.

Therefore, the Master his daughter worshipped was definitely a Saint Realm Expert, and possibly even a Saint King.

"Get up. Since Xueqing has acknowledged This Sect Master as her teacher, This Sect Master naturally won't sit by and watch her father perish." Jiang Chen waved his hand, helping Mu Zhan up.

Then he infused a trace of Great Emperor Power into Mu Zhan's body to help him recover from his injuries.

"Thank... thank you, Senior." Feeling his injuries rapidly recovering, Mu Zhan thanked him with an excited face.

His injuries were extremely severe; without miraculous elixirs, he would never have fully recovered in this lifetime.

He never expected that his daughter's Master could casually impart a trace of power to heal his injuries. He was truly too powerful.

"Is this a Saint Realm Expert? Truly too powerful." Mu Zhan stood rooted to the spot, secretly clicking his tongue.

"Disciple, your father is out of danger. Say your goodbyes to him properly and prepare to return to the Sect with Master." Jiang Chen looked at Mu Xueqing and said indifferently.

Since there was nothing left here, he didn't want to linger. It was better to return to the Sect early to open the treasure chest and drink tea.

"Yes, Master." Mu Xueqing agreed.

"Qing'er, there's no need for goodbyes. Hurry and go with Senior." Mu Zhan quickly urged.

With Jiang Chen, this great Buddha, by his side, he dared not make him wait even a moment longer.

"Then, Imperial Father, your daughter will leave?" Mu Xueqing said reluctantly.

"Go, hurry and go." Mu Zhan waved his hand, squeezing out a tear.

He secretly groaned inwardly.

This daughter was too insensible. With her Master here, not only was he under great pressure, but he also couldn't leave.

The rebels outside still hadn't been dealt with, so the sooner Mu Xueqing left, the sooner he could deal with the rebels.

Anyway, Mu Xueqing had followed a powerful Master, so he could rest assured.

"Alright." Mu Xueqing turned to Jiang Chen and said, "Master, then let's return to the Sect."

Looking at Mu Zhan's tear-streaked face, she felt very uncomfortable.

To avoid making her old father sad, she had to leave as soon as possible.

"Mm, then let's return to the Sect." Jiang Chen nodded, waved his hand to create a spatial rift in the hall, and then stepped inside.
