Genius Daddy in the City

“Mr. Shi, this is the King Mu Fort’s library!”

Uncle Hai led Ye Chen to an ancient building that was about 400 to 500 square meters in size. He took out his key and opened the door on the first floor, “Please go in. However, sir, you can only stay on the first floor!”

“Thank you!”

Ye Chen walked into the first floor of the library after saying that. He looked around and saw a floor full of antique bookshelves. There were countless ancient books with intact covers neatly placed on them.

He walked over and looked at the ancient books next to him. He picked one up casually and realized that there were a few ancient words written on it, ‘The Basics of A Martial Artist’.

“Ancient characters? Looks like this has verified my speculation earlier. The culture of this world overlaps with Earth’s…”

Ye Chen’s eyes focused. He slowly opened the book in his hand and started reading quickly. With his powerful Divine Consciousness, he could read ten lines at a glance.

…

In the guest hall of the King Mu Fort, the atmosphere was heavy and oppressive!

The hall was spacious. The few people sitting at the top were the high-ranking officials of King Mu Fort, led by King Mu. However, their expressions looked terrible.

At the bottom were three figures. The person in the middle was a middle-aged man in a luxurious official robe. His hair was gray, and he was full of smiles. His eyes shone brightly.

Behind him stood a white clothed young man with slanted brows and starry eyes. Even though he said nothing, the space between his brows was filled with arrogance.

Following the sound of footsteps, Mu Caiwei, who was wearing a plain dress, walked into the room quickly.

As she stepped in, the gazes of everyone in the hall fell on her. King Mu and the rest looked as usual.

On the contrary, the light in the man’s eyes became even brighter. He laughed loudly and said, “You must be Caiwei, right? I haven’t seen you for a few months, and you’ve become more and more graceful!”

Meanwhile, the white-clothed youth behind her looked at Mu Caiwei with a frozen gaze, and then waves of intense possessiveness flashed through his eyes.

“Father, Second Elder, Third Elder!”

Facing everyone’s gaze, Mu Caiwei’s expression remained the same. She stepped forward and nodded to the upper echelons of the King Mu Fort, including King Mu.

“Caiwei, you came at the right time!”

King Mu slightly nodded and introduced as he looked at the middle-aged man below, “Let me introduce you. This is Tianfeng City’s newly appointed City Governor, Situ Yun. Behind him is his son, Situ Yu.”

Mu Caiwei said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner, “Greetings, City Governor Situ!”

“Caiwei, you don’t have to be so polite!”

Situ Yun waved with incomparable enthusiasm. He then smiled and said, “Since Caiwei happened to be present, then I’ll get straight to the point. My son Situ Yu has always admired Caiwei, so he sent me here to ask you this.”

Following his words, King Mu who sat at the top felt his heart sink, and then a wisp of bitterness came to him, ‘Situ Yun, oh Situ Yun, why are you forcing me to do this!?’

Seeming to have noticed that the atmosphere was slightly oppressive, Situ Yun smiled once more and said, “Also, I’d like to announce a happy matter to all of you. My son has already become an inner sect disciple of the Yunhai Sect a month ago.”

The moment that was said, the expressions of the upper echelons of the King Mu Fort, including King Mu, changed!

Yunhai Sect!

It was a cultivation sect. There were many powerhouses in the sect, and their heritage could be said to be terrifying. If there was any power in the Great Li Dynasty that did not fear the imperial power, it would be the Yunhai Sect.

Although the King Mu Fort was considered a tyrant in Tianfeng City, in the eyes of the Yunhai Sect, they were no different from ants!

However, the Yunhai Sect rarely recruited disciples outside the sect. Moreover, the talent of the people they recruited was extremely terrifying, as peak innate stage was the threshold.

Even Mu Caiwei paled. Her beautiful eyes could not help but glance at Situ Yu behind Situ Yun.

Seemingly sensing her gaze, Situ Yu smiled slightly at her, but the arrogance in his gaze could not be concealed.

King Mu said in a deep voice, “Situ has stepped into peak innate stage?”

“That’s right!”

As he met everyone’s gazes, Situ Yu proudly smiled and said lightly, “A month ago, I stepped into peak innate stage. I’m only a step away from the venerable stage, so the sect specially bestowed me two Golden Dragon Pills. I can achieve venerable stage any time now!”

Following his words, the expressions of King Mu and the rest changed!

The Golden Dragon Pill!

It was a spiritual pill that could only be refined by a fifth-grade Mystic Master. An ordinary spiritual pill could allow a cultivator who had stopped at the threshold of the venerable stage to step into the venerable stage. Thus, it was extremely valuable. Even if one sold the King Mu Fort, they would not be able to afford it. Even if they could afford it, there would be no market for it.

At the moment, Situ Yu possessed the Golden Dragon Pill. It was equivalent to saying that he could step into the venerable stage at any time. It was no wonder that the City Governor’s Mansion was so overbearing recently.

Thinking to this point, King Mu and the rest of the upper echelons of the King Mu Fort looked at each other, and they could see the helplessness in each other’s eyes.

It was already terrifying enough that the City Governor’s Mansion had the support of the King. Now, with the addition of the Yunhai Sect, even ten King Mu Forts would not be his match.

After Situ Yun took in everyone’s expressions, he suddenly said with a smile, “Brother Mu, in my opinion, my son and Cai Wei can be said to be a match made in heaven. Why don’t we take advantage of the fact that Cai Wei is present today and form a marriage between our two families?”

At this point, he added, “Of course, to express our sincerity, the City Governor’s Mansion is willing to offer a Golden Dragon Pill as a betrothal gift!”

His words were like a sudden clap of thunder that shocked everyone. Their faces were filled with disbelief.

The Second Elder of the King Mu Fort was so shocked that he stood up directly, “City Governor Situ, may I ask if you will really give our King Mu Fort a Golden Dragon Pill?”

He could not be blamed for being so excited!

There were merely two venerable stage powerhouses in the entirety of the fort. They were King Mu and Grand Elder Mu Sansi. If they possessed the Golden Dragon Pill, it would mean that the fort would have another venerable stage powerhouse!

“Of course!”

Situ Yun seemed to have already guessed all of this, and he looked indifferently at King Mu, “Besides the Golden Dragon Pill, the City Governor’s Mansion can also put in a good word for the King Mu Fort to the King. What do you think, Brother Mu?”

King Mu’s heart was stirred. Situ Yun’s offers were too tempting. He subconsciously wanted to agree.

However, a cold voice followed, “I disagree!”

Everyone turned to look in the direction of the voice, only to see Mu Caiwei, who had been silent all this while, wearing a cold expression, “I disagree with this marriage!”

“You disagree?”

Situ Yun’s warm expression gradually turned cold, “Is that what Brother Mu has in mind as well?”

“Caiwei, stand down!”

The Second Elder who had spoken earlier, shouted, “This is a grand event of our King Mu Fort. How can you interrupt?”

However, Mu Caiwei was unmoved. Instead, she looked at King Mu firmly as if she was looking at a stranger.
