Chapter 195 Life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills
“Xinxia, I’ll head back now. After all, all sorts of things are happening in China, so it might not be a bad thing for you to stay here at the Parthenon.”
Zu Qingyun knew very well that things in China had been quite troublesome lately, and the Old King had been urging him to help him open the Gate of the Underworld.
However, this cannot be started just like that. At the very least, the people of Egypt need to be prepared. After all, the main battlefield is Egypt. Zu Qingyun is neither a saint nor a devil.
The two undead empires fought a relentless battle, leaving the Egyptians caught in the middle.
It's easy to imagine that Egypt would become a "food source" fought over by the two great undead empires.
"Yes, but Qingyun, you need to be careful. I've heard about the siren from Asha'ruya as well."
After saying this, Ye Xinxia paused for a moment, then looked at Zu Qingyun with a suspicious expression.
"Qingyun, is there something between you and Asha'ruya that you're hiding from me? I always feel like this woman tries to seduce you every time she sees you."
Zu Qingyun: Ah this
(~￣▽￣)～
"Xinxia, be good. In my heart, Asharuya is a really bad woman, nothing compared to you, Xinxia."
Just as Zu Qingyun was comforting Ye Xinxia, Asha Ruya, who was lying on the bed with aches all over her body, suddenly sneezed for some reason.
"Ah, ah!"
"Hmm? How could I possibly catch a cold with my constitution? Could it be that what Qingyun did to me last night caused my physical condition to decline?"
Asha Ruya was completely baffled, but feeling the burning pain in her lower abdomen, she really wanted to bite Zu Qingyun's shoulder a couple more times.
Seriously, Zu Qingyun, that eighteen-year-old brat, is a real beast. She never expected him to go to such lengths.
After saying goodbye to Ye Xinxia, Zu Qingyun went to Asha's palace and teased her for a while.
After all, his main purpose in coming to Parthenon was to learn about Izusa. This woman was no pushover, and he would have to teach her a lesson if he had the chance.
Modu International Airport.
Zu Qingyun's original goal was the capital, but Mu Nujiao called him at the last minute, saying that the family might be facing some difficulties and Mo Fan might be unreliable, so she asked him to go and help.
After hearing that Mu Nujiao had actually brought Mo Fan along, Zu Qingyun decisively changed his flight to Shanghai. After all, he could lose anything, but he absolutely couldn't lose his wife.
Moreover, this little cabbage that he has been carefully nurturing with his own resources absolutely cannot be snatched away by Mo Fan, the "protagonist of destiny" and a lecherous man.
The Mu family, located in the southeastern district of Shanghai.
"Sister Jiaojiao, is he the little brother Qingyun who led the National Team to victory? Just like you said, he's such a handsome little boy!"
Mu Nujiao's younger sister, Mu Nuxin, hid behind her older sister with a curious expression, sizing up Zu Qingyun with her own eyes.
"Yes, he's very strong. He's at least a two-elemental super-tier now!"
Hearing her sister's words, a glimmer of light appeared in Mu Nuxin's eyes.
Hearing the conversation between the Mu Nujiao sisters, Zu Qingyun felt a little embarrassed.
"Sister Mu, please just tell me what's wrong. After all, I came here because you said you had a rather tricky matter for me to handle."
Just as Mu Nujiao and Zu Qingyun were discussing the fire veins of Kunlun Mountain, a young man of mediocre looks and background, exuding only a fierce aura and the smell of alcohol, broke through the guards' defenses and stormed in. "Tell me, what can I do to make the old man change his mind? You absolutely cannot marry into the Dongfang family, and you especially cannot marry Dongfang Lie!"
When Mu Nujiao, who was discussing matters with Zu Qingyun, saw Qi Shan arrive, a hint of displeasure rose in her eyes, but she still gave her younger sister Mu Nuxin a look that said, "You handle it yourself."
"Qi Shan, you should think about this yourself. Besides, my sister and I are entertaining important guests right now, so please don't disturb us."
Mu Nuxin truly had no feelings for Qi Shan, but her talent was enough for the family to win her over with her looks. This was one of the family's usual methods. In the past, the family had also used her sister's looks and talent to lure in some talented individuals.
"But I really don't know what to do. Ever since I entered the Mu family, I've been working tirelessly to marry you, but in the end, it's turned out like this."
Qi Shan's tone gradually softened. Even though he was reeking of alcohol, he didn't dare to cause trouble at the Mu family's residence.
"Then learn to accept it, just like the past two days and now, drink until you're drunk, and forget about it, preferably forget about me too. Actually, after you leave me, with your talent, you might climb even higher."
After seeing the sycophantic remarks of this guy named Qi Shan, Zu Qingyun felt that sycophants exist everywhere, whether in this magical world or on Earth.
After speaking, Mu Nuxin turned her gaze directly to Zu Qingyun, a slight smile curving her lips.
"Sister, let's continue our discussion about the fire veins. Let's ignore this drunk guy."
Mu Nuxin has her own criteria for choosing a partner. Qi Shan is indeed good, but that's all.
But at that moment, Qi Shan stared coldly at Zu Qingyun.
Seeing his expression, Zu Qingyun frowned slightly.
"I advise you to look away, otherwise even if you are exceptionally talented, I can guarantee that no family in Shanghai or Beijing will accept you."
Zu Qingyun's voice carried a hint of coldness. He just came here to help out, and yet he's been targeted by a minor character with decent talent? Who gave him the audacity?
"Just because I don't have a noble family background, you don't even bother to say a few more words to me? Or do you think I, Qi Shan, am just a dog that your Mu family can casually dismiss with a bone?"
"In my eyes, he and Dongfang Lie are just a few guys who have achieved their current success by monopolizing the resources of aristocratic families. Even if the two of them joined forces, they would never be a match for me!"
When Qi Shan said this, he pointed at Zu Qingyun.
Zu Qingyun: (⊙﹏⊙)
Mu Nujiao was also stunned when she saw his actions, realizing that he had mistaken Zu Qingyun for Bai Hongfei.
However, Mu Nuxin felt a surge of anger.
"For me, a person's personal charm only accounts for a small part; it is their achievements and what they possess that fascinate me. If you truly have the ability to achieve the same honors as this younger brother, then what harm is there in me marrying you?"
As she said this, Mu Nuxin didn't forget to pat Zu Qingyun's butt, taking advantage of him.
Upon sensing this, Zu Qingyun's face darkened.
