To get back the Chinese treasure, the Zhuque Jade Chain, wouldn't it mean dying with the traitor? What is this? How come this handsome guy is wearing ancient clothing?
A sudden pain struck her head, countless memories flashing through her mind like a film. Mu Wushuang furrowed her brow, she had somehow transmigrated to the Nine Heavens Continent, becoming the Third Miss of the Marquis's Mansion, and even sharing the same name as the original owner.
He was the best spy of the 21st century, able to heal the sick and kill criminals with equal skill. People called him half angel, half devil.
But the original owner was a notorious fool. He had been plagued by blocked meridians since childhood, unable to cultivate either spiritual energy or martial arts. In this world where strength is paramount, such a person meant nothing but waste. Besides, he was also fat, arrogant and domineering, with an extremely unpleasant personality.
Because she liked the Fourth Prince, Ximen Kang, she pursued him relentlessly. No one in the capital was unaware of this.
This time, when the host went out shopping, she saw Ximen Kang and immediately greeted him happily. Unexpectedly, Ximen Kang kicked her against the wall with one foot, leaving her on the verge of death, allowing this soul from another world to take advantage of the situation.
And in his embrace was Mu Yu Heng, his younger brother who was a year younger. He had also been a prodigious talent but almost lost his life during a martial arts competition. Though he was saved, he became mute, lost all his cultivation, and needed to take expensive medicinal herbs every day just to stay alive.
Mu Yu Heng usually didn't get close to the original owner, but at a critical moment, he realized how much he cared for her.
While she was still lost in thought, a hand gently touched her furrowed brows. Mu Wushuang met worried eyes and smiled faintly, "Don't worry, I'm fine."
He immediately put his hands down and looked away, as if to say: Who cares about you!
This little brother is really something else! Mu Wushuang wants to slap him in the face, but there are so many people here that he'll definitely blush!
The top priority is to settle the score with Simon Kang! He stood up, tore off a piece of cloth from his forehead and glared at Simon Kang, his voice cold: "Fourth Prince, you are truly vicious. Do you not want to openly disregard human life?"
Ximen Kang gave Mu Wushuang a disgusted look, regretting in his heart that he hadn't used enough force to make her die on the spot.
He snorted coldly, not even bothering to glance their way, and then addressed the crowd in a loud voice:
"The Dingguo Marquis' Mansion is suspected of treason. This prince, by imperial decree, arrests the rebels and their accomplices. Innocents, please disperse quickly! Guards, arrest Mu Wushuang and Mu Yu Heng!"
The crowd watching instantly erupted in an uproar.
"What? Lord Hou, with his loyal heart and righteous spirit, his virtue as bright as jade, known to heaven and earth, how could he possibly rebel!"
"The old marquis has been protecting our country for decades. How could he be a traitor? Someone must have framed him!"
"Yes! That's right! Old Master Hou would never betray the throne!"
Over the years, the old Marquis's image in people's minds has been tall and dignified. When I heard that the Fourth Prince said that the old Marquis was plotting rebellion, the first reaction was disbelief.
Mu Yu Heng also did not expect that Xi Men Kang would put such charges on them. He hurriedly grabbed Mu Wu Shuang's hand to comfort her out of fear.
Mu Wu Shuang's double-hooked horns twitched, and she grabbed the little handsome guy's hand. She wanted to see what this Ximen Kang was capable of.
Xi Men Kang felt a surge of rage and wanted to kill everyone who dared speak out against him. However, he couldn't. His elder brother valued his reputation above all else, and he had to pin the blame firmly on the Dingguo Hou Mansion to make these lowly people submit willingly. Otherwise, his elder brother would punish him for incompetence!
The problem is that he has no evidence.
"My grandfather colluded with outsiders, stole royal secrets, and plotted to overthrow the Xi Yue Dynasty. The evidence is irrefutable. These are the letters between your esteemed Lord Grandfather and the outsiders! My father tried to dissuade our grandfather from this reckless path, even putting his own life on the line. But my grandfather remained obstinate. Our family branch could only sever ties with him, sacrificing familial bonds for righteousness!"
Just then, two young men walked out of the crowd. The one who spoke was dressed in red, beautiful and proud, holding a stack of letters in his hand.
And beside him stood a young boy, clad in a light blue tunic, whose youthful countenance was as cold and clear as that of a celestial maiden.
Just in time! Simon Kang's eyes lit up.
"Aren't these Miss Mu Ningxue and Miss Mu Ningxuan, the eldest and second daughters of the Hou Mansion's second family? People from their family only moved out of the Hou Mansion a few days ago, and today something happened at the Hou Mansion!"
"Is the one in the light blue dress Mu Ningxue? She's the genius who was specially recruited by Starsea Academy three years ago, right? Her aura is indeed different! Now she's at the fifth level of Spiritualist, isn't she?"
"Not just that! I've already reached the sixth stage of spiritual cultivation! And I'm only sixteen years old! There are hardly any such geniuses in our entire Nine Heavens Continent. Countless kings and nobles all fawn over him!"
The Second Branch of the Hou Mansion, for loyalty and righteousness, was willing to put family aside. Their integrity is truly extraordinary, no wonder they gave birth to such outstanding daughters as Mu Ningxue and Mu Ningxuan!
"Look, look again at this pair of useless siblings, Mu Wu Shuang. They both came from the Marquis's Mansion, how can there be such a big difference? One is in heaven and the other is underground!"
"Even the descendants are saying there's evidence, it seems Old Marquis really has rebelled!"
The wind changed direction, as the arrival of the sisters Mu Ning Xue turned the tide.
Suddenly, a mouthful of saliva landed on Mu Ningxuan's red dress. The smug smile on her face froze, and her eyes nearly popped out.
