The Sweet Life of Superstar and His Goddess Wife

Chapter 402: Lesson (4th update, asking for monthly votes)

"Actually, he is very clever, even though he knows he doesn’t have much talent for cultivation, he still chose to cultivate. If he didn’t make this choice, his fate with great-grandmother might have been limited to just this lifetime. Even if he ultimately failed, it wouldn’t matter; after all, when a person dies, all lights are out and they know nothing. However, the place he holds in great-grandmother’s heart is irreplaceable by anyone."Gong Leitian added, "Moreover, given grand-uncle’s disposition, if Jiang Nuo truly cultivated into a celestial being for her, then in grand-uncle’s world, there would probably only be a place for him."

"Even if he failed, it would still be him."

The two suddenly exchanged a glance and smiled wryly. Perhaps, this is exactly what Jiang Nuo wants. Regardless of the outcome, in Mu Qiuniang’s heart, there could only be him. Someone like this is truly ruthless, ruthless to others, and ruthless to himself!

Gong Leitian said, "You’re right. Maybe during the previous days, my mind was a bit tangled. How could someone like grand-uncle possibly waver in her belief in ascension for others? She hasn’t changed from the beginning; it’s merely my perspective on people that has shifted."

Mu Mingyu tossed a Space Ring to Gong Leitian, adjusting his clothes, "Alright, I’ve delivered the resources, and we’ve talked about what’s on our minds. It’s time for me to retreat successfully!"

"Not staying for a while longer?" Gong Leitian caught it, raising an eyebrow.

"Staying a bit longer, waiting for you to resolve the issue on your side, just to give me trouble? Oh, by the way, this is a new potion refined by great-grandmother, called ’Sealing Spirit Pill’. Whether crushed into powder or dissolved in water, it can seal the spiritual energy of cultivators below the Golden Core for an hour. I think, an hour should be enough for you, regardless of what you want to do, right?"

"Grand-uncle really trusts me, isn’t she afraid I’ll use it on her?" Gong Leitian tossed the Space Ring in his hand.

Mu Mingyu, having walked to the door, said, "If you have the ability, you might as well spend more time cultivating. Grand-uncle and great-grandmother have made great progress lately. Don’t end up being left behind in this world when they both ascend together."

"Wait, what do you mean? Are you saying Jiang Nuo also has the possibility of ascending?" Gong Leitian couldn’t believe it, that man, with such poor aptitude, wouldn’t be accepted by anyone in the Cultivation World.

Could he really ascend like that?

Unfortunately, Mu Mingyu wouldn’t answer him, striding out of his office without even looking back.

Gong Leitian wanted to chase after him, but as soon as he took a step, he felt a sharp pain in his rear, finally remembering that he had just been beaten up. It’s better not to let his subordinates see him in this embarrassing state. Otherwise, how could he lead them in the future?

He should be thankful that his office not only has great sound insulation but also various arrays set up. Otherwise...

"So heavy-handed, and yet called ’friend’, this person!"

However, as Mu Mingyu left Gong Leitian, he couldn’t shake the feeling that he had forgotten something. Once he got into the car, it suddenly dawned on him: oh! Right, he had cultivated a rival for Gong Leitian and seemed to have forgotten to inform him?

Well, Gong Leitian has held his ministerial post for so many years steadily; it’s unlikely he’d be overthrown by a young opponent, right?

At this point, Mu Mingyu had no idea that this young opponent was not someone to be trifled with. The opponent was good at using others’ power to achieve goals, just like himself. Later, this indeed caused Gong Leitian quite some trouble, but that’s another story, not to be discussed here.

On his way back, Mu Mingyu took the chance to pick up Li Qiqi.

After all, Li Qiqi is still in her Natural Furnace identity, and recently, people have been lurking around their house. If he didn’t hurry to retrieve her, something could happen, and that would be troublesome.

Especially since great-grandmother is traveling abroad this time, it’s estimated she won’t return in a day or two. It’s better to leave her at the Mu family’s old residence, letting her stay together with Murong and the disciples of the Hidden Immortal Sect for mutual care.

Basic cultivation, no worries with those few looking after her. If they can’t even handle such a basic task, the Hidden Immortal Sect Leader wouldn’t have assigned them in the first place.

To put it nicely, they’re here to attend to Mu Qiuniang. Apart from learning some unique skills, it’s probably also to ensure Mu Qiuniang’s safety. After all, from the current situation, it seems Mu Qiuniang’s identity is hard to conceal anymore. It wouldn’t be right if she didn’t have a few capable individuals by her side.

Previously, while occasionally handling tasks for great-grandmother, he walked the Cultivation World, discovering it is indeed a world that values appearances greatly. Either your strength is particularly outstanding, so anyone who offends you can face your wrath, or you set up such a grand appearance that anyone with insight won’t easily provoke you.

Mu Mingyu knocked on the Leng family’s door, and the person inside didn’t open immediately, asking who he was cautiously.

He presented his identification, placing it by the door’s peephole, "I am Mu Qiuniang’s all-purpose housekeeper, Mu Mingyu."

"Alright, please come in!"

Inside, Mu Mingyu found that the Leng family atmosphere was extremely tense. Besides the Leng family, there were several armed bodyguards.

"What’s all this..."

"Apologies, Mr. Mu. Recently, there have been many unidentified individuals, and to ensure my sister’s safety, we had to take these precautions." Li Wei Qiao sincerely apologized to Mu Mingyu, hoping he wouldn’t mind the earlier discourtesy.

"I understand. Mr. and Mrs. Li, I am Mu Mingyu, great-grandmother’s all-purpose housekeeper." Mu Mingyu got straight to the point, explaining to the elderly couple sitting on the sofa, "Great-grandmother has already received some information. However, since she’s going abroad for some time, she wishes to ensure Miss Li’s safety by having her brought over. Someone will be responsible for protecting Miss Li."

"Isn’t this too much trouble?" Li’s mother was a bit surprised.

Since returning from the hospital, the family noticed strangers frequently appearing near the villa, seemingly inquiring about her daughter’s matters, which frightened them greatly. So, the family discussed hiring more bodyguards, and Li Qiqi hadn’t dared to go out since. Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs N0veI.Fiɾe.net

Yet, even with these measures, they felt uneasy.

Jiang Nuo’s Weibo is updated irregularly each day, clearly indicating he’s still filming outside, and they can’t contact him easily. They fear those people would suddenly break in and take their daughter away.

They hadn’t considered calling the police, but without any evidence in a matter like this, who would they report to?

"Mr. Jiang seems still to be filming outside, and Sister-in-law Jiang is traveling abroad. Bringing my daughter to you at this time..."

"Don’t worry, Mrs. Li. Although great-grandmother and great-granduncle aren’t here, second disciple and a few other disciples of their master are. They are seasoned elders with years of experience. It just so happens that Miss Li can start learning some basics there. When great-grandmother returns, she intends to officially take her under her wing."
