Chapter 710: Nan Xian? That’s Impossible! IV
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Somewhere not far from Liu Yun Kingdom.
Around the residence area on a mountain.
Mu Ling stood, calmly with both his hands clasped behind his back, on an ancient tree.
He was handsome and as fit as a pine, with a pair of eyes that was as deep as the sea.
The person who kneeled in front of him was not Han Feng but another man now.
“How’s it going now?” Mu Ling looked tense as his eyes were filled with anger. “Is that little girl infertile now?”
He had agreed that she could be the Mu family’s concubine, but he would never allow her to deliver a baby for the Mu family!
The man trembled as terror had dawned on his face. Still, he managed to suppress his fear and tell him everything that had happened.
“Idiot!” Mu Ling was enraged as he slapped the man’s shoulders.
The man was thrown away before collapsing onto the ground. He looked unkempt and pale.
“You idiot!” Mu Ling’s eyes looked hideous in anger. “Did anyone ask you to find someone who can’t even enter the princess manor to be in charge of this matter?”
The man who was dressed in black almost cried from grievances. Even though dense cold sweat had broken out on his forehead, he still crawled to and kneeled in front of Mu Ling.
“Master… those who are allowed to enter the princess manor… I couldn’t buy them over…”
Mu Ling squinted. “They can’t be bought over? That’s impossible! I know better than anyone else how greedy the secular people are. They will be tempted as long as you offer enough to meet their needs.”
“What I have said are all real, that kith and kin of Feng Ruqing… they didn’t give me a chance.”
“What about the servants and guards from the princess manor?”
He just could not believe that he was not even capable of buying a person over.
The black-dressed man’s lips suddenly twitched. “Both of the two little servants in her manor are just too vigilant, they let the wolf out to bite me before I could even approach the princess manor. They looked at me and looked at me like I was about to burn the princess manor.”
“What about the others?” Mu Ling’s clenched his fists until the joints popped as his heart boiled in anger.
The black-robed man’s eyes were flooded with terror as if he had witnessed the most terrible scene in the world. “There’s no one else. Only two servants were found inside the princess manor, and the rest are… all spirit beasts.”
“Not even a cook or cleaner? What do they eat and drink? Who’s in charge of sweeping the courtyard?”
“It’s… it’s true… the chef inside the princess manor is an ape while other works are allocated to the spirit beasts…”
Have you ever seen an ape with a spatula?
Have you ever seen a purple sable that swept the fallen leaves away?
Also, a rabbit that grew vegetables.
If you have not seen any of it, you may drop by the princess manor and take a look over there where you will be able to find every surprising scene there.
“You still want to lie to me at this point?” Mu Ling sneered. “How can a spirit beast be a chef? Do you think I’m that stupid?”
The black-robed man paled as his lips trembled. “Every word that I’ve said is true, I’ve also found out that the housekeeper of the princess manor is a wolf while the guards are two bears.”
In fact, Mu Ling also knew well that this subordinate of his would never dare to deceive him in any way.
However, he could never imagine that someone would actually hire spirit beasts to do ch.o.r.es for her.
“It’s such a waste to hand those spirit beasts over to her…”
Luckily, her spirit beasts were not in high-tiered as n.o.body would bother to pay any attention to the low-tiered spirit beasts.
After quite a while of contemplation, the man in black finally started to speak after some hesitation on whether he should mention that matter to Mu Ling.
“Young Manor Master… I… I’ve acted on my own as I wanted to pin the blame on Young Master Nan Xian about how we had put Feng Ruqing in danger, so we could drive a wedge between them. I have done this because…”
