After saying that, they ignored Mu Shaolingâs furious gaze and left hand in hand. Mu Shaoling was so angry that he smashed the table next to him with a punch.
"Young Master, should I go and teach that little girl a lesson?" Mu Shaolingâs bodyguard had been burning with rage on the side.
Seeing his master smash the table, he knew that the young master was as furious as himself and was about to go crazy, so he made such a suggestion.
"Humph, you teach her a lesson? I donât even know who will teach whom!" Mu Shaoling snorted coldly.
The bodyguard, upon hearing this, was obviously unhappy. He didnât want to admit it and thought about finding a chance to compete with her one day, or else how could he continue to be his masterâs number one bodyguard?
It seemed as if Mu Shaoling knew what his subordinate was thinking and said, "Quickly take back those thoughts of yours. Hmph, that little girl, I can barely beat her by one or two moves, and you should know she has no inner strength yet. If she had, I wouldnât be able to beat her, let alone you."
Upon hearing this, the bodyguard felt somewhat disappointed. Though unhappy, he had no choice but to temporarily give up the idea of competing.

"Old Mu, follow him to park the carriage properly and then come to the front to find us."
In the morning after breakfast, Yang Chuxia and Ye Ziâan went to Mu Shaolingâs residence in Quanya. It was just that the Mu Residence was a bit far from her shop, so she let Old Mu drive the carriage. As for the original carriage driver, Fugui, he had a stomach ache from eating something bad the night before and was resting at home.
When they arrived at the Mu Residence, Yang Chuxia said to Old Mu after getting off the carriage.
"Alright, you guys go ahead."
Old Mu and the young servant who guided them went to park the carriage first.
She and Ye Ziâan were led by another servant to another courtyard. When they reached the courtyard door, the servant stopped and said, "Miss Yang, Young Master Ye, our young master is inside. You can go in." And then he withdrew.
Yang Chuxia looked suspiciously at the servant, then pushed the door open and entered. As soon as she stepped into the courtyard, she heard roars from the room.
"Donât come over, donât come over!"
"Get out, all of you get out!"
"I warn you, if you hurt me, Iâll definitely kill you!"
"..."
The voice was somewhat childish but very agitated. Yang Chuxia guessed it was the boy who had been harmed, but it seemed like he hadnât emerged from the shadows yet.
"Linhao, calm down, itâs me, Brother Shaoling!"
"No, youâre not...youâre a liar..."
The voice stopped abruptly, presumably because Mu Shaoling had done something. A moment later, the door opened from the inside, and Mu Shaoling walked out.
However, thinking about Yang Chuxiaâs remark yesterday that he was on his period, Mu Shaoling didnât have a good expression on his face, "Why did you arrive so late? I thought you werenât coming."
"How could that be?"
"Humph, arenât you here to see someone? Come in." After Yang Chuxia and Ye Ziâan entered, Mu Shaoling snorted again, "Be gentle, his condition isnât good right now."
"Oh."
Inside the room, the boy was lying flat on the bed, still pale, and the socket where his eye had been removed was wrapped in gauze. He seemed truly frightened, even his mutterings in his sleep were filled with various refusals and denials.
She carefully looked at the little boy for a while, then suddenly said to Ye Ziâan, "Why do I think he looks more and more like Old Mu?"
"He does look a bit like him!"
The two whispered to each other, but Mu Shaoling didnât bother with them and went to the next room to get medicine.
Yang Chuxia and Ye Ziâan came out of the inner room and saw that Mu Shaoling hadnât come back yet. Yang Chuxia asked again, "Do you think he and Old Mu have some kind of connection?"
