Xu Mu’s perception caught this scene, and he immediately observed their conversation. Hopefully, they wouldn’t go into the ruins. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to tell whether Tushan Rui would truly keep her distance from Xiao Gui.
When Xiao Gui heard his daughter calling out, he smiled and set her down.
Xiao Qiao immediately ran over, opened her arms, and reached out to Tushan Rui for a hug.
But Tushan Rui deliberately took several steps back, avoiding Xiao Qiao.
That tiny gesture left Xiao Qiao frozen in place.
Tushan Rui normally picked her up without hesitation.
Xiao Gui’s brows furrowed slightly. His expression remained calm as he asked, “What happened?”
“Nothing. What brings you here?” Tushan Rui asked flatly.
“I found some more rare treasures this time and brought them for Senior to take. Their effects are far inferior to divine medicine, but they won’t harm her body.”
Xiao Gui smiled as he spoke.
“No need. My grandmother’s condition has already been cured.”
Tushan Rui had originally wanted to drive Xiao Gui away outright, but she wasn’t the sharp-tongued, hot-tempered type.
What if Xu Mu was wrong, and Xiao Gui really had only meant well, despite not knowing what he was doing?
“What? Senior’s illness has been cured? Who was capable of that?”
Xiao Gui was utterly shocked.
“Xu Mu, the Descendant of Yan and Huang.”
Tushan Rui folded her arms and said indifferently, “You should have heard of him.”
Nearby, Xu Mu couldn’t help shaking his head when he heard this. He really was a natural-born villain.
He had thought he could stay low-key for a while longer, but Tushan Rui had exposed his name outright.
Xiao Gui had already hated him. After Tushan Rui had drawn even more attention to him, wouldn’t Xiao Gui hate him even more?
“What? That Old Geezer?”
Xiao Qiao ground her teeth in anger when she heard this.
Xiao Gui’s gaze gradually turned vicious. It was that brat again.
Before this, he truly hadn’t known who Xu Mu was. His cultivation had already reached the World-Breaking level, so why would he pay attention to a child’s martial competition like the Martial Arts Championship?
But after returning, he had thoroughly investigated Xu Mu and learned about his identity and strength.
“Xu Mu healed my grandmother’s injuries, and you seem pretty angry about it?”
Tushan Rui turned her gaze toward Xiao Qiao.
“How could I be? I’m happier than anyone that Senior’s health has recovered.”
Xiao Qiao hurriedly waved her hands. She was only angry because the one who should have saved her grandmother—her father—had been beaten to it by that Old Geezer.
Tushan Rui was just about to speak when her violet eyes suddenly widened. Then her face lit up with delight.
[Affection +10]
“Mr. Xu Mu!”
When Xiao Gui and Xiao Qiao heard that name, they both turned around. Sure enough, it was Xu Mu, the same man they had encountered earlier.
Xu Mu hadn’t originally planned to come, but Tushan Rui had exposed him today, so he naturally had to show his face.
His goal was to obtain some of Hat Bro’s destiny power.
Xiao Gui had an abundance of destiny power, so he definitely needed to expend some of it.
Previously, at the Heavenly Imperial Clan, the women around Xu Mu had mostly never met Xiao Gui, so they hadn’t caused him to lose any destiny power.
This time was different. Tushan Rui had originally even planned to marry Xiao Gui.
“Old Geezer! It really is you!”
Xiao Qiao pointed at Xu Mu, then immediately hid behind Xiao Gui.
Ever since her father had returned, Xiao Qiao had feared no one. But now, Xu Mu was the only person she was afraid of.
Tushan Rui walked over to Xu Mu and asked softly, “What brings you here?”
“I came to buy something. I happened to see you here, so I came over to take a look.”
Xu Mu smiled, then turned his gaze toward Xiao Gui and the others. “You know them?”
“That’s right. He was the one who gave my grandmother the prescription for the poison!”
Tushan Rui spoke viciously.
“A prescription for poison?”
Xiao Gui’s expression immediately darkened. “Rui, don’t listen to this brat’s slander! He and I have had some grudges in the past. He’s deliberately trying to get revenge!”
“I think you’re the one slandering people! Xu Mu didn’t even know that prescription came from you!”
Tushan Rui’s face turned icy. “Xiao Gui, you’ve really disappointed me.”
Her grandmother had never mentioned Xiao Gui’s name before. She had only said that the prescription came from an old friend.
[Destiny Power -10]
Xiao Gui’s expression gradually grew gloomy. He pointed at Xu Mu and shouted coldly, “So it really was you who stole the divine medicine last time!”
“What divine medicine?”
Xu Mu put on an innocent expression.
“Rui! Do you remember when I told you that the Heavenly Imperial Clan had taken the divine medicine last time? I fought my way into their ruins and cut off their arm. This brat stole the divine medicine from the spatial ring!”
Xiao Gui clenched his fists tightly, killing intent gradually appearing in his eyes. “You little bastard! You used my divine medicine to treat Senior, then turned around and accused me. You deserve to die!”
“Old Geezer! You’re a horrible person!”
Xiao Qiao pointed at Xu Mu and shouted as well.
“Both of you, shut up! The Nine-Tailed Fox Clan does not welcome you!”
Xu Mu hadn’t even spoken yet, but Tushan Rui could no longer stand it.
“Rui! You don’t understand me. He really did steal the divine medicine!”
Xiao Gui raised his voice.
His feelings for Tushan Rui were genuine. In particular, the Nine-Tailed Fox possessed two forms and innate mastery of soft techniques.
He had been drawn to her from the very first moment he saw her.
At the time, however, he hadn’t looked into her deeply. He only knew that she was the queen, and that her husband—the Nine-Tailed Fox King—was still alive.
Although Xiao Gui didn’t care about that, he actually enjoyed pursuing other men’s wives.
Women who had matured in that way had generally already seen the harsh realities of the world, yet still retained a tenderness toward all living things.
Later, the two happened to meet again within the inner realm of Qingqiu. Xiao Gui was accompanied by his daughter at the time.
The moment Xiao Qiao met Tushan Rui, she called her “Mom.” With Xiao Qiao acting as the bridge between them, the two began talking more often.
After getting to know one another, Xiao Gui learned that Tushan Rui was only the queen in name and had never actually married the Nine-Tailed Fox King.
He also learned that she had an injured grandmother, and that she had left home this time to search for rare treasures to help her.
As they spent more time together, Xiao Gui and Tushan Rui grew familiar with each other. Since his daughter liked her, he was naturally more than willing to bring Tushan Rui home.
Her grandmother had originally agreed to it as well, but now Xu Mu had ruined everything.
“Xiao Gui, you really refuse to admit anything. You’re still slandering him even now. You’re saying Xu Mu stole your divine medicine and then used it to cure my grandmother, aren’t you?”
Tushan Rui asked coldly.
“That’s right. That’s exactly why we became enemies in the first place. He stole the divine medicine!”
Xiao Gui nodded forcefully. “Rui, you should believe me.”
“Believe you? Xu Mu relied on his medical skills. He never used any divine medicine. He cured my grandmother with acupuncture and ninth-grade rare treasures!”
Tushan Rui pointed at Xiao Gui. “You’re absolutely shameless! Fortunately, Xu Mu didn’t use the divine medicine. Otherwise, you would have succeeded in framing him! Get lost!”
Xiao Gui looked at Xu Mu in disbelief. This man had actually managed to cure Tushan Ju’s hidden injuries.
“Mom…”
Xiao Qiao’s face turned pale.
“I’m not your mother! Stop calling me that! If you don’t leave now, I’ll have experts throw you out!”
Tushan Rui let out a low roar.
[Destiny Power -30]
Xiao Gui’s face darkened. “I don’t believe it! Rui, you’ve been deceived by this bastard! He must have used some strange trick to keep Senior temporarily out of danger. I’m going to see for myself!”
With that, he picked up Xiao Qiao and flew toward the ruins.
