Mu Jinyu was about to discuss the wedding details with Su Zijin.
"Whether it's in Capital City or River City, let's see what their opinions are, I..."
Just as Mu Jinyu was speaking about which city to have the wedding in, he suddenly furrowed his brows, feeling his heart contract sharply.
"What's wrong? Why has your complexion turned so poor?"
Su Zijin saw that Mu Jinyu's face had suddenly become as pale as paper, and beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on his forehead, and she couldn't help but ask anxiously.
Mu Jinyu clutched his chest, feeling as if his heart was about to explode, breathing rapidly and almost running out of breath.
Hearing Su Zijin's words, he quickly waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, Mom, don't worry, I just suddenly felt a bit uncomfortable."
With that, he added, "Let's stop here for today, I will go back to rest, and I should be better by tomorrow."
Having said that, Mu Jinyu stood up, his body swaying, and he staggered towards the door.
Su Zijin also stood up, went to the doorway, and with a worried look, she reminded him, "Hmm, be sure to get plenty of rest, don't overexert yourself."
Leaving Su Zijin's courtyard, Mu Jinyu returned to his own room and closed the door behind him.
He leaned against the door, his body slowly sliding down until he was half-crouched at the entrance.
"No, something is about to happen..."
Mu Jinyu's lips were pale and dry, his mind a messy tangle.
He had experienced this kind of heart palpitation once before.
It was on the day his father passed away.
On the day the Old Dragon King died, his body also felt a bit uncomfortable, but because it wasn't as intense, he didn't take it seriously.
But upon arriving at Capital City later, he found out that the Old Dragon King had passed away.
Therefore, Mu Jinyu speculated that this time, it might be someone close to him who was in trouble.
But that's not right; the threat from Nameless has already been eliminated. Now Mei Yinxue, Gu Xiyan, and Wen Rou are all still living in another courtyard, and Xu Qingya and her group haven't returned to River City tonight either. If something had happened to them, there would surely be a subordinate to report the situation to him.
So from where does this indescribable feeling of heart palpitation come?
Xiang Mantang?!
A flash of alarm crossed Mu Jinyu's mind.
Thinking back to the call he had just had with Xiang Mantang, who said he was going to Kunlun to pick up his sister...
There's a problem!
That girl who was suspected to be Xiang Yinxui, there was a big problem with her!
Suddenly, Mu Jinyu suppressed the feeling of weakness and palpitations, immediately took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and called Xiang Mantang.
"Doo-doo-doo..."
No one answered until he hung up himself.
Mu Jinyu hung up the phone, his expression incredibly grim.
He didn't go on with the futile effort of calling Xiang Mantang again but called Mu Hongchen instead.
"Hello, Dragon Master?"
Mu Hongchen answered the phone, her tone carrying a hint of confusion as she spoke.
"Beidou Yuheng, can you try to contact those people who my junior brother took with him?" Mu Jinyu asked urgently.
"Also, prepare a private jet for me, I need to go to Kunlun Ruins!"
"Yes, I'll arrange it now," Mu Hongchen replied promptly, sensing the extreme severity and urgency in Mu Jinyu's voice.
She hung up the phone and immediately called Dragon King Hall's members who were taken by Xiang Mantang, but none of their phones were answered.
Mu Hongchen's complexion changed drastically, and she knew something had gone terribly wrong.
While arranging for a chartered plane, she began to investigate the GPS on their phones, only to find out she couldn't track them; all of them had been damaged.
Mu Hongchen understood that this must be the deed of an enemy who was very familiar with the internal operations of Dragon King Hall!
Even more alarming, it could be a sign of a traitor within!
Without daring to delay, Mu Hongchen immediately called Mu Jinyu to share her findings.
After listening, Mu Jinyu said he understood, then hung up the phone, changed clothes, and prepared to head to the airport to take a chartered flight to Kunlun.
While changing, his eyes blazed with a ferocious flame, "A traitor? Shen Cangsheng? Qin Qiaochu? Di Yin?! No matter who it is, if anything happens to Ah-Xiang, I will massacre your entire family!!!"
The first person Mu Jinyu suspected was Shen Cangsheng. After all, he had been missing for some time, reportedly visiting his sect in the Kunlun Ruins, and with Xiang Mantang running into trouble in Kunlun, plus Shen Cangsheng's great grudge against him, the likelihood of him seeking revenge on Xiang Mantang was incredibly high!
Of course, he did not rule out the possibility of Qin Qiaochu and Di Yin being jealous of Xiang Mantang and him leading Dragon King Hall, and thus designing to ambush Xiang Mantang.
But no matter who it was, once he rescued Xiang Mantang, he would definitely settle scores with them one by one!
At this moment, Mu Jinyu was no longer the usual laid-back person, thinking of letting Xiang Mantang handle everything while he slacked off.
"Ah-Xiang, please don't let anything be wrong!!"
After getting dressed, Mu Jinyu was about to leave.
"Jinyu, look at this, how about I wear this wedding gown when we get married?"
Just then, Wen Rou, holding a set of photos, ran into Mu Jinyu's room and said excitedly and with longing.
Mu Jinyu paused, then reluctantly smiled at Wen Rou and said, "I'll look at it when I come back; I need to make a trip out of town now."
The smile on Wen Rou's face unconsciously fell into a frown upon hearing this.
But seeing that something was off with Mu Jinyu's complexion, which was very pale, she realized something was wrong and quickly asked, "Is something the matter?"
"Yeah!" Mu Jinyu rushed out of the room without looking back, "My junior brother is in danger alone in a foreign place, and I need to go help him!"
Wen Rou watched Mu Jinyu's receding back, mumbling to herself, "Junior brother? Xiang Mantang? Is he in danger? I hope all goes well for you."
...
Meanwhile, Mu Jinyu had already boarded the chartered flight bound for Kunlun.
On the other side, Xiang Mantang was battling over a hundred people alone while protecting Chen Qianqian.
As for the assassin who had arrived with him, upon seeing the unfavorable situation, he didn't think of helping Xiang Mantang fight off all these people but instead turned on him.
In the end, the assassin was naturally killed by Xiang Mantang, but not before Xiang Mantang was ambushed with a cut to his arm from the assassin's dagger.
Then, Xiang Mantang discovered there was poison on the assassin's dagger, and now, surrounded by over a hundred enemies, he had no chance to retrieve the antidote to counteract the poison, causing his arm to start going stiff and making his movements somewhat inconvenient.
Moreover, he had to protect Chen Qianqian.
This greatly increased the difficulty of breaking out of the encirclement.
"Brother... what should we do? I'm so scared!!"
Chen Qianqian's face turned pale, her small hands clutching tightly to Xiang Mantang's garment, speaking timidly.
On hearing her words, Xiang Mantang's heart couldn't help but tremble.
Her tone, her actions, they were all identical to the memory of his sister, who would grab the hem of his shirt, seeking help when she feared being scolded by their parents after doing something wrong!
How could it not move Xiang Mantang?
Truth be told, at first, Xiang Mantang also suspected that the appearance of this group might have been due to Chen Qianqian.
But her words erased all his doubts.
She must be his sister!
Once before, he failed to protect her, allowing her to be taken away by evildoers.
Today, he was determined to rescue her at the risk of his life!
