Seven Star Sect.
Across the entire Heavenly Profound Continent, it was a giant, a force with ancient heritage, where Great Ascension Realm Great Power emerged one after another.
In every era, there was always a Great Ascension Realm Great Power sitting in command.
It was truly a superpower.
However, after reaching the Great Ascension Realm, most would become reclusive and withdraw from the world, viewing worldly affairs with indifference.
The only thing they pursued was the elusive Path of Immortality, and since ancient times, seekers of immortality had come in endless streams.
The Sect Leader of Seven Stars Sect could be called the first authority of the sect.
Unless an old ancestor of the Great Ascension Realm came out of seclusion, it was difficult to shake the authority of the Sect Leader.
Lu Qian.
This name might be a bit unfamiliar, but as the Sect Leader of Seven Star Sect, she was a renowned figure whose every action attracted attention.
Such a person appeared before Qin Mu.
“Aunt Lu… Weren’t you still in seclusion?”
Qin Mu asked in a small voice.
Compared to the two elder sisters, Aunt Lu was a far more troublesome existence.
The human heart is like ginger—the older, the spicier.
No flowery words would work.
Lu Qian’s beautiful eyes looked at her precious little troublemaker, then recalled the recent messages from Wang Yan’er, and angrily grabbed Qin Mu’s ear.
“Ow! Pain, pain! Aunt Lu, be gentle!”
Qin Mu grimaced in pain, hurriedly begging for mercy.
Lu Qian’s delicate face showed slight anger as she scolded, “So you got a new aunt and forgot the old one, huh? Looks like you’re enjoying yourself with Wang Yan’er~”
Sensing the wrong tone, Qin Mu quickly explained, “Aunt Lu, you misunderstand! I’m always thinking of Aunt Lu! Not seeing you for a day feels like a year!”
Hearing this, Lu Qian released her grip, stroked Young Master Qin’s little head, and showed a smile on her face.
But to Qin Mu, that smile made his legs tremble.
“In that case, Mu’er, how long has it been since you last met Aunt Lu?”
With a swish, cold sweat broke out on Qin Mu’s forehead.
It had been a while, and he couldn’t quite remember himself—was it two hundred something days?
Seeing Qin Mu’s reaction, Lu Qian immediately guessed that this brat had forgotten again.
She squeezed harder.
Qin Mu yelped.
“Aunt Lu, my head hurts!”
Of course, Lu Qian wouldn’t truly hurt him, but if she didn’t let Mu’er suffer a bit, he might even forget this aunt next time!
Lu Qian’s chest heaved with anger.
From Qin Mu’s angle, he caught a glimpse of the glaringly white mound and quickly averted his gaze.
Aunt Lu really had no defenses against him.
Qin Mu tried to avert his gaze out of respect, but Lu Qian noticed the small movement and grew even more annoyed.
She didn’t even want to hear him speak anymore!
When Qin Mu looked up, he was startled.
Aunt Lu’s face was as black as a pot bottom.
He hadn’t said that much!!
“Aunt Lu, spare me!!!”
Then, Young Master Qin’s cries for mercy lasted for half an hour.
***
Two days later, Royal Capital.
Inside a certain pavilion, two beautiful women sat side by side on a soft couch.
One had a voluptuous figure, the other an imposing one.
The two slowly sipped tea.
Beside them, a young man nervously poured tea.
“I didn’t expect the famous Tower Master of the Star Plucking Tower to be such a tagalong.”
“I also didn’t expect the renowned Sect Leader of Seven Star Sect to cling to someone in private.”
“Hmph! Mu’er was willing! I didn’t force him!”
“Likewise, I came to find Mu’er. Lu, don’t flatter yourself!”
For a moment, sparks seemed to fly between their gazes.
Qin Mu stood aside, numb, watching the two high-status beauties bicker like children.
Looking at this, it didn’t seem like he needed to pour more tea for a while.
Qin Mu decided to sneak out quietly.
If the two aunts started fighting, his weak cultivation wouldn’t even qualify as cannon fodder.
But Qin Mu was overthinking.
Even if the two clashed, they were perfectly aware of Qin Mu’s every move.
““Mu’er!””
The two called out in unison.
Qin Mu instinctively stood at attention.
“Behave yourself!”
Though the tone was stern, Lu Qian’s mature voice was still pleasant.
Looking at Qin Mu, Lu Qian questioned, “Here today, tell me, between her and me, who do you think is better?”
Qin Mu broke into a cold sweat.
This was a deathtrap of a question!
“Why are you so fierce to Mu’er?”
Wang Yan’er complained, patting the empty spot beside her.
“Come, Mu’er, sit here.”
Lu Qian’s face darkened instantly.
Looking at Aunt Lu’s expression, Qin Mu didn’t dare to sit beside Aunt Yan’er even if it killed him.
“No need… Haha, I think standing is fine.”
Seeing Qin Mu didn’t move, Lu Qian’s face eased a little.
“Wang Yan’er, Mu’er grew up under my care and naturally listens to me. You’re just someone who appeared halfway.”
“Is that so.”
Wang Yan’er replied unhurriedly.
“But not long ago, Mu’er personally said he liked Aunt Yan’er the most.”
As she spoke, she cupped her cheek with her right hand, showing a blissful expression.
Crack—
The cup in Lu Qian’s hand developed cracks.
Seeing this, Qin Mu knew things were bad and tried to escape.
But he was only at Qi Cultivation, how could he escape from someone at Tribulation Stage?
Lu Qian angrily twisted Qin Mu’s ear, just about to speak, when Wang Yan’er rushed over and pulled Qin Mu away.
“Lu, why are you hitting Mu’er for no reason? If you break him, can you give me another Mu’er?”
At this moment, Qin Mu’s heart collapsed.
Aunt Yan’er, please say less.
Just looking at Aunt Lu’s face was enough to make anyone afraid.
“Fine, fine!”
Lu Qian glared fiercely at Wang Yan’er, then at Qin Mu, who was being hugged in her arms.
She stormed off in anger.
“Then you two can love each other all you want!”
With that, Lu Qian turned and left.
“Aunt Lu! Wait!”
Seeing Lu Qian leave in anger, Qin Mu immediately shouted, wanting to go after her.
But now, he was held tightly by Aunt Yan’er, unable to move.
“Humph!”
Wang Yan’er was very pleased.
She bent down and kissed Qin Mu’s face.
“Hehe, as expected of Aunt’s Mu’er. Well done!”
Unlike Wang Yan’er’s happiness, Qin Mu was in a panic.
“Aunt Yan’er, let go first. Aunt Lu is angry.”
Wang Yan’er didn’t seem worried at all.
“Relax, your Aunt Lu has been like this since childhood. If you go now, she’s still angry and you’ll get nothing good. Listen to me. After a while, go buy some dried fruit from Baiguo Pavilion in the east of the city, say a few nice words, and she’ll definitely calm down.”
“Really?”
Ever since he was young, whenever Qin Mu made Aunt Lu angry, he would rush over and apologize no matter whose fault it was.
Let her vent, and all would be well.
“Of course. How many years have you known your Aunt Lu? I’ve known her for hundreds. Trust me. In fact, don’t be fooled by how mature she acts. In her heart, she’s like a little girl. When the time comes, buy a box of rouge, act spoiled in her arms, and she’ll calm down immediately!”
