Chapter 1007: Chapter 618: Probing
After dinner, Liu Hun and Old Ghost returned directly to the inn, and after waiting for several hours, the people from the Ghost Doctor Clan still hadn’t arrived.
With one day remaining before the alchemy competition three days later, Liu Hun was somewhat anxious, but he didn’t show it. If the Ghost Doctor Clan really didn’t intend to come out, Liu Hun didn’t mind doing something earth-shattering next.
By noon the next day, the people from the Ghost Doctor Clan still hadn’t arrived, causing Liu Hun’s heart to plummet.
However, just after the two had lunch, it wasn’t the Ghost Doctor Clan who came, but rather Mu Xiaoqian who visited first.
“Why are you here?” Liu Hun looked at Mu Xiaoqian in front of him, who had changed into a set of clothes, with light blue jeans wrapping her long legs, making them appear more appealing.
On her upper body was a shirt along with a denim jacket, giving her a slightly heroic look.
“Why can’t I come? As they say, ‘one day as husband and wife brings a hundred days of grace.’ For that night in the past, I should thank you; I’m just not sure if Mr. Liu has time. If you do, you can visit my home as a guest.” Mu Xiaoqian’s voice was calm, but her oval face still showed a cold demeanor.
Upon hearing Mu Xiaoqian’s words, Liu Hun was slightly stunned, then his lips curved into a slight smile as he said, “Miss Mu, you wouldn’t have taken a liking to me, would you? I acted out of urgency to save someone back then; otherwise, I, being so righteous, definitely wouldn’t do such a thing. I hope Miss Mu understands this.”
Liu Hun and Mu Xiaoqian both understood very well that they already knew each other’s identities, so at this moment, Mu Xiaoqian didn’t play dumb and continued, “My father invites Mr. Liu to our home to thank him for his life-saving grace back then; I wonder if Mr. Liu has time now.”
“Yes, of course I have time. How could I not have time for a beautiful lady’s invitation?” Liu Hun also dropped his serious demeanor and said teasingly to Mu Xiaoqian.
If it were in the past, Mu Xiaoqian would have slapped Liu Hun to death for such teasing, but this time, it was her father who personally asked her to invite Liu Hun, and if he was really like her father said, he was indeed not a simple character.
So Mu Xiaoqian didn’t mind, nodded, and turned around to get into the Mercedes behind her.
Seeing this, Liu Hun and Old Ghost exchanged a look, and then Liu Hun didn’t hesitate, directly getting into Mu Xiaoqian’s car with Old Ghost.
In less than half an hour, Mu Xiaoqian brought Liu Hun and Old Ghost to her home; the Mu Family’s mansion was very large, taking about ten minutes to walk from the front gate to the living room.
Moreover, along the way, Liu Hun and Old Ghost were somewhat shocked; the Mu Family lived up to being the top family of the City of Death, with more than a dozen terrifying presences hidden just within the house.
“This must be Mr. Liu, I’ve heard a lot about you.” Just as they arrived in the living room, a cheerful voice reached Liu Hun’s ears.
Following the voice, he saw a stern-faced middle-aged man slowly walking towards them, and beside the middle-aged man was a young man, who at this moment looked at Liu Hun with a few traces of hostility.
Liu Hun didn’t pay much attention to the young man’s expression at first. Looking at Mu Yunbo walking towards him, Liu Hun humbly said, “Where is Uncle Mu wrong? I’m just a little boy from the secular world, not worthy of such fame. Moreover, Uncle Mu, please just call me Liu Hun. Calling me ‘Mr. Liu’ feels awkward to me.”
“Alright, I’ll call you Liu Hun from now on. Today I invited you over not for anything else, but to express thanks for saving Xiaoqian’s life. Consider it gratitude.” Mu Yunbo was naturally pleased with this form of address.
The reason he invited Liu Hun today was not just to see this young man, but more to try to draw him in.
Although Liu Hun came from the secular world, he was definitely no ordinary person. Even if he had nothing to do with the Ghost Doctor Clan, reaching out to him wouldn’t be a bad thing.
“Come, Xiao Sa, let me introduce you; this is Liu Hun, very famous in the secular world. Last time Xiaoqian was kidnapped, it was Liu Hun who saved her, or else she would have been ruined by those guys; Liu Hun, this is Dong Sa, the eldest son of the Dong Family of our City of Death. You two chat first; I have some matters to attend to, and once the meal is ready, we’ll have a good drink.” Mu Yunbo introduced Liu Hun and Dong Sa to each other, then smiled and said.
“No problem, Uncle, you go ahead and take care of your matters; don’t worry about us.” Liu Hun smiled slightly and said.
Naturally, Mu Yunbo won’t say much more. After instructing Mu Xiaoqian to take care of the guests, he turned and went upstairs.
“I’ll brew some tea for you guys,” Mu Xiaoqian nodded to the others after her father left.
Once Mu Xiaoqian left, Dong Sa’s face immediately showed some hostility, and he looked at Liu Hun and asked, “Are you the one who detoxified Xiaoqian and then had a relationship with her?”
“I am a Doctor, and as the saying goes, doctors have a heart like that of parents; I was just trying to save people at the time and didn’t think much about it.” Liu Hun could clearly see that Dong Sa was evidently interested in Mu Xiaoqian, otherwise, he wouldn’t show such hostility.
Moreover, Mu Yunbo was probably deliberately arranging this, aiming to test him.
Liu Hun naturally had no objections to this, as gaining others’ recognition really required showing corresponding strength, otherwise, why would anyone look at you with a new perspective?
“Doctor’s heart? What a huge joke. Kid, I don’t care who you are, nor do I care how much power you hold in the mundane world. But since you’ve come to the City of Death, let me kindly remind you, sometimes you must pay the price for your mistakes. If you disappear from the City of Death from now on, I can pretend this never happened. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless.” Dong Sa made no hesitation, going straight to the point as he threatened Liu Hun.
“Speaking of which, Young Master Dong, you’re in such a high position, why bother fussing with a small figure like me? Besides, under those circumstances, unless you wanted to see Xiaoqian die, I could have ignored and not rescued her.” Liu Hun shrugged his shoulders, speaking nonchalantly.
“Shut up! Someone like you is not worthy to call Xiaoqian by her name! Just because Uncle Mu invited you to visit today, don’t think he truly values you. In the City of Death, you are nothing. With just one word from me, you could be a corpse on the street today.” Murderous intent flashed in Dong Sa’s eyes as he coldly looked at Liu Hun.
Even a clay figure has three parts of fire, let alone Liu Hun. They had just met, and this kid kept threatening him. Naturally, Liu Hun felt extremely displeased in his heart.
“Do you know how crazy Xiaoqian was the night I saved her? At the time, I almost couldn’t hold back Xiaoqian’s madness. Luckily, I have a strong physique. Oh, by the way, let me tell you, Xiaoqian not only has a strong comprehension ability in bed but also has an extremely sweet voice.” Liu Hun slightly narrowed his eyes, deliberately saying to the Dong Sa in front of him.
“You’re courting death!” As soon as Dong Sa heard Liu Hun’s words, his eyes filled with murderous intent, and he instinctively moved to teach Liu Hun a lesson. Yet just as he was about to strike, the old ghost beside him snorted coldly with disdain, “Overestimating your own abilities, wanting to cause trouble for my boss without my consent!”
As the old ghost’s words fell, Dong Sa’s fist stopped just a few millimeters from Liu Hun, but due to those few millimeters, his fist could never advance even a bit further.
Because at this moment, Dong Sa’s neck was firmly grabbed by the old ghost, who then slowly lifted him with one hand, his eyes flickering with murderous intent.
“Boss, how should we deal with this kid? Should we just kill him right away?” The old ghost turned to look at Liu Hun and asked.
“Just give him a light punishment, after all, we are guests today. It’s not appropriate to be rough on someone else’s turf, even if it’s just a small Dong Family. We still need to give Uncle Mu some face, and besides, Xiaoqian and I do have the bond of a night together.” Liu Hun said seriously to the old ghost.
Upon hearing Liu Hun’s words, the old ghost nodded in agreement, then exerted a little force in his arm, causing Dong Sa to fly backward and crash heavily onto the grass.
Feeling the surging energy and blood within himself, Dong Sa couldn’t help but feel a surge of shock in his heart. He knew his strength had reached the Innate Eighth Layer. Even in the City of Death, he could be considered a minor expert.
But now, a seemingly sleazy guy next to Liu Hun defeated him effortlessly.
This kind of situation is truly a bit unbelievable.
Facing Dong Sa’s miserable state, Liu Hun paid no attention, his peripheral vision glanced at a window upstairs, and a slight grin appeared on his lips.
At this moment, in a room upstairs, Mu Yunbo and Mu Xiaoqian were standing by the window, watching the scene below.
“Xiaoqian, how do you feel about this kid?” Even though Liu Hun’s previous words weren’t particularly loud, they were still heard clearly by the two of them.
Seeing her father suddenly asking this, Mu Xiaoqian’s face slightly flushed, and she couldn’t help but remember Liu Hun’s evaluation of her just a moment ago.
“This guy looks like a gentleman on the surface, but who knows how bad he might be inside.” Mu Xiaoqian replied with a slightly flushed face.
“I’m not asking about what happened that night, but about your impression of him as a person.” Mu Yunbo’s brows slightly furrowed as he spoke in a deep voice upon seeing his daughter’s expression.
Hearing her father’s words, a flush of red appeared again on Mu Xiaoqian’s delicate cheeks. Her beautiful eyes flickered with some panic, but quickly, her expression returned to normal.
“He is both brave and wise, and regarding that matter, it was him who did eighty percent of it. After all, in the entire City of Death, besides him, probably no one else would dare to treat Dong Sa like that. If he doesn’t die, he has boundless potential in the future, even if he’s not a member of the Ghost Doctor Clan.” Mu Xiaoqian objectively evaluated Liu Hun.
“Then what if I want you to be his woman next?” Mu Yunbo pondered for a moment before suddenly speaking to Mu Xiaoqian.
“What? Dad, isn’t this a bit too hasty?” Mu Xiaoqian, after all, was still a girl, no matter how intelligent and aloof she appeared normally.
Facing the matter of her lifelong future, she was still somewhat flustered.
“It’s settled then. In the upcoming time, you should communicate your feelings well. Let him stay tonight, and as for the resting place, share a room with you.” Mu Yunbo took a deep breath and then instructed Mu Xiaoqian by his side with a light tone.
After that, he directly turned and walked downstairs. Watching her father’s retreating figure, Mu Xiaoqian was momentarily stunned. She could never have imagined her father would arrange her lifelong matters so quickly.
