"Bang!" Mu Ruanxuan screamed and fell out.
If Crown Prince Mo hadn't held back, Mu Ruanxuan would have likely crashed through the wall and flown out.
Of course, Mo Lian wasn't showing mercy to Mu Ruanxuan; his primary concern was not to accidentally damage Cai Die Xuan's gatehouse.
Nevertheless, it created quite a commotion, and everyone couldn't help but rush over.
"Peak level fifteen Great Spiritual Master?"
Mo Lian's expression was somewhat unfathomable as he looked at Mu Ruanxuan, who was lying in the corner, unable to get up.
He knew Tong's strength all too well.
Tong had already reached the realm of a level fourteen Great Spiritual Master.
Yet, he couldn't even withstand one punch from Mu Ruanxuan?
What did that indicate?
It indicated that Mu Ruanxuan's cultivation realm was above Tong's.
Qiao Mu also walked to the doorway, her gaze tinged with suspicion, as she thoroughly scrutinized Mu Ruanxuan.
"What did you do?" she asked coldly.
A person's strength couldn't possibly increase by five levels in just over a month, could it?
Previously, Mu Ruanxuan was only a level ten Great Spiritual Master. Could it be possible for her to jump to the peak of a level fifteen Great Spiritual Master realm right after coming out of the secret realm?
One must know that Lord Qiaoqiao had absorbed the spiritual energy of an entire Sun Moon Secret Realm, but that only allowed her to advance three levels, reaching the introductory stage of a level thirteen Great Spiritual Master.
Even so, she was still paranoid, feeling that her realm might be unstable, and had been diligently cultivating to stabilize her strength during this period.
And Mu Ruanxuan's advancement speed was actually faster than hers, who had absorbed the power of an entire secret realm?
Isn't this ridiculously absurd?
This could no longer be called a fortuitous encounter; there must be something problematic within.
Even secret techniques weren't seen to be as exaggerated as Mu Ruanxuan's.
She carefully examined the woman's face and found that, apart from a somewhat weak pallor, her aura was very stable. One couldn't naturally discern anything amiss just by looking.
The best method would be to take her pulse, or ideally, use divine sense to investigate thoroughly.
But given Mu Ruanxuan's guarded attitude towards her, that was naturally impossible.
She wouldn't allow Lord Qiaoqiao to get close.
Qiao Mu's eyes darted, and she tilted her small head, glancing at Mu Ruanxuan. A profound expression hung on her emotionless face. "Mu Ruanxuan, you wouldn't... have gone down some crooked path, would you?"
Mu Ruanxuan's heart trembled violently, but the expression on her face didn't change at all. She looked coldly at Qiao Mu, speaking mockingly, "What, are you worried, scared, or terrified because my cultivation realm has greatly increased?"
Qiao Mu couldn't help but roll her eyes. "There's always someone better. What do I have to fear, worry, or be scared about? As long as one works hard enough, lives up to one's own life, and doesn't waste time, that's all that matters."
Mu Ruanxuan's fingers tightened in her palm, her eyes fixed on Qiao Mu. After a long moment, she said, word by word, "Everyone has jealousy. You're lying."
She was now a cultivator at the peak of the level fifteen Great Spiritual Master realm. Shouldn't Qiao Mu be looking at her with a hint of jealousy mixed with admiration, like Mu Ruanxuan and Mu Rouyun?
Why could she say so nonchalantly, "doesn't waste time, that's all that matters"?
Pretend! Keep pretending!
Mu Ruanxuan felt her stomach churn. She braced herself and slowly crawled up from the corner, inch by inch, glaring coldly at Qiao Mu. "Every year on grandfather's birthday, there will be a Mu family martial arts competition."
"On that day, do you dare to accept my challenge?" She looked utterly provocative.
