Chapter 1243: Sense of Superiority
Although Mu Jingrui’s appearance here was very odd, he did not interrupt the hairpin ceremony’s proceedings.
Instead, he found a seat to sit down in as he looked at Qiao Mu with a smile.
Not to mention Mu Jingrui’s strong aura, but even the white-haired elder following him seemed to have extremely high cultivation.
The elder, who had bulging arm muscles, stared at Qiao Mu like a hawk.
The appearance of the two people caused many of the people present to lower their heads instantly, so they eventually drew in their aura.
This was the terrifying part about the strong and powerful’s might.
Mu Jingrui represented the Divine Province’s talisman patrician family. It was practically the difference between heaven and earth when comparing it to the talisman patrician family in the Sikong Planet’s Mo Kingdom.
Therefore, Mu Jingrui’s appearance here only made the atmosphere congeal for a moment.
Soon, the hairpin ceremony continued to proceed smoothly until its completion.
Qiao Mu and Crown Prince Mo looked at each other longingly from a distance until their mother urged her to leave with her gaze.
Even though she was a bit puzzled when she caught a glimpse of Mu Jingrui, Qiao Mu did not say anything and merely nodded at him lightly.
After she returned to her room, Shaoyao walked in and said with a smile, “Miss, are you tired? How about taking off your coat to rest for a bit?”
“I’m not tired.” Qiao Mu shook her head lightly. She then sat down by the window sill and subconsciously caressed the lustrous jade bangle around her wrist hidden deep within her sleeve.
Murong Xun, I had my coming-of-age hairpin ceremony today! But where are you…
Qiao Mu’s eyes dimmed as she lowered her head, letting Shaoyao deftly remove all the accessories in her hair and plait a simple braid.
“Madam.” The sound of two people greeting Wei Ziqin suddenly came from outside.
When Wei Ziqin walked in, she looked at Qiao Mu nervously. “Qiao, Qiaoqiao.”
“What’s wrong, Mom.” Qiao Mu set down her fine-toothed comb and looked at Wei Ziqin puzzledly.
“Come with me.” Wei Ziqin took her small hand, grasping it with some force.
Seeing that her mother’s expression was strange, Qiao Mu stood up and soothed, “Mom, what is it.”
“Don’t ask right now. Come with me to your dad’s study. You’ll know when we get there.”
Nevertheless, Qiao Mu was nonplussed.
Seeing that her mother was hemming and hawing without being able to focus her gaze, Qiao Mu didn’t ask any further. She changed into her normal plain clothing and followed her mother to her father’s study.
When they walked inside, she saw that Seventh Master from the Mu Clan sitting in the round-backed armchair in her father’s study. He gave her a smile when he saw her enter.
Qiao Mu had a faintly favorable impression of this Seventh Master Mu that she had compared notes with before.
However, he grandiosely came to make a call with someone today and blatantly sat in her father’s study. In contrast, her father was gingerlystanding by the side.
Suddenly, Qiao Mu’s impression of him turned into dislike.
What was this supposed to be? The Upper Three Provinces’ unique sense of superiority over the Lower Star Domain?
Just like how the Middle Six Prefectures acted wilfully and did whatever they liked in the Lower Star Domain without regard to others.
That’s why they could attack the Holy Water Sect without any hesitation just because they coveted the holy water.
Because the them at that time commanded the strength to do so.
Qiao Mu’s gaze turned cold, and Mu Jingrui captured that instantaneous shift in expression.
He couldn’t help but be stunned.
Hm? The little lady was suddenly showing dislike for him!
Why?
