The voice behind him was familiar to Mu Yun.
It was Mu Qian, the steward of a branch of the Mu family in Beiyun City.
This old man truly lived up to his name—Mu Qian (meaning "Money-Maker"), his eyes only on money, a typical opportunist.
Mu Yun knew that although he had been assigned to a branch in Beiyun City, he still received a monthly allowance from the family for his living expenses.
At first, Mu Qian had been withholding his allowance, and later, he simply stopped paying altogether.
The Mu Yun of the past was naturally taciturn, of low status, and dared not speak, but today's Mu Yun was a completely different person.
"What is it?" Mu Yun asked impatiently, his face cold.
"What is it?" Mu Qian put his hands behind his back, his large belly protruding, and looked down at his servant with an air of superiority. "You worthless wretch, you still ask me what it is? The clan leader and several elders have found you a marriage partner, and they want you to meet them, choose a date, and get married. Such a small matter, and they make me come all the way here myself, what a hassle." Mu
Yun was already nineteen years old this year, indeed of marriageable age.
However, the marriage arranged for him by his family made him suspicious.
He knew what position Mu Yun held in the previous branch of the Mu family!
"What are you standing there for? Get up and move! You good-for-nothing, what's wrong? The family arranged a marriage for you, and you're so happy you've forgotten yourself?"
Seeing Mu Yun standing still, Mu Qian couldn't help but curse.
This guy was acting strange today. Usually, he would just nod and do whatever he was asked to do, but today was different.
Hearing Mu Qian's shout, Lu Xiaotian and Mo Wen, who were standing behind Mu Yun, couldn't help but frown.
After all, Mu Yun was a young master, and it was indeed a bit inappropriate for him to be ordered around and scolded by a servant.
Mu Yun just smiled bitterly, took a step forward
, and looked Mu Qian up and down.
First level of Body Tempering Realm!
This kind of trash actually dared to speak rudely to him.
Taking another step forward, Mu Yun rubbed his palms together.
*Slap...*
Suddenly, without warning, Mu Yun slapped Mu Qian across the face. A clear sound of a slap echoed, and the scene fell silent instantly.
Mu Yun's hand rose and fell, leaving a bright red handprint on Mu Qian's face, his cheek gradually swelling.
"You...you dare hit me?"
*Slap...
* Another clear handprint appeared on Mu Qian's other cheek, both of them now completely swollen.
"I'm hitting you. Remember, I'm the young master of the Mu family, and you're a servant. If you ever insult me like that again, it won't just be two slaps!"
With that, Mu Yun turned and left.
It's true what they say: a tiger fallen into the plains is bullied by dogs, a plucked phoenix is worse than a chicken. Even
a lowly steward dared to call him a piece of trash, a worthless wretch. Mu Yun deeply understood that his immediate priority was to improve his strength.
However, the physical condition of this body was simply too poor.
Just slapping Mu Qian twice felt like his hands were broken, sending waves of pain through him.
It seems that improving strength is now urgent!
Seeing Mu Yun's swift and decisive action, slapping Mu Qian so hard he seemed stunned, Lu Xiaotian and Mo Wen behind him had different thoughts.
Lu Xiaotian had always known that Mu Yun was naturally timid and always submissive; today, he seemed like a completely different person.
Previously, he would never have believed that Mu Yun would dare to slap Mu Qian.
However, this scene was interpreted differently by Mo Wen. Mu Yun was familiar with the voice behind him.
Mu Qian was also the steward of a branch of the Mu family in Beiyun City.
This old man truly lived up to his name—Mu Qian—only caring about money, a typical opportunist.
Mu Yun knew that although he was assigned to a branch in Beiyun City, he still received a monthly allowance from the family for his daily expenses.
Initially, Mu Qian had been withholding his allowance, and later, he simply stopped paying altogether.
The Mu Yun of the past was naturally taciturn, of low status, and dared not speak; but today, Mu Yun was a completely different person.
"What is it?" Mu Yun asked impatiently, his face cold.
"What is it?" Mu Qian, hands behind his back and his large belly protruding, looked down at him with a condescending air. "You worthless thing, you still ask me what's wrong? The clan leader and several elders have arranged a marriage for you. They want you to meet them, choose a date, and get married. Such a small matter, and they make me run around in person, what a hassle."
Mu Yun was already nineteen years old this year, indeed of marriageable age.
But the fact that the family had arranged a marriage for him made him suspicious.
He knew what Mu Yun's status was in the Mu family branch before!
"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and get going! Useless thing, what's wrong? The family has arranged a marriage for you, are you so happy you've forgotten yourself?"
Seeing Mu Yun standing still, Mu Qian couldn't help but curse.
This guy felt strange today. In the past, whenever he was asked to do something, he would just nod and do it. Today, it was different.
Hearing Mu Qian's shout, Lu Xiaotian and Mo Wen, who were standing behind Mu Yun, couldn't help but frown.
No matter what, Mu Yun was a young master, and being bossed around and scolded by a servant was indeed quite inappropriate.
Mu Yun smiled bitterly, took a step forward
, and sized up Mu Qian.
First level of Body Tempering Realm!
This kind of trash dared to speak so disrespectfully to him.
Taking another step forward, Mu Yun rubbed his palms together.
*Slap…*
Suddenly, without warning, Mu Yun slapped Mu Qian across the face. A clear sound of a slap echoed, and the scene instantly fell silent.
Mu Yun's hand rose and fell, and a bright red handprint appeared on Mu Qian's face, his cheek gradually swelling.
"You…you dare hit me?"
*Slap…

"I hit you. Remember, I am the young master of the Mu family, and you are a servant of the Mu family. If you ever insult me like this again, it won't just be two slaps!"
With that, Mu Yun turned and left.
It's true what they say: a tiger fallen into the plains is bullied by dogs, and a phoenix with its feathers plucked is no better than a chicken.
Even a lowly butler dared to call him a piece of trash and a worthless wretch. Mu Yun deeply understood that his most urgent task now was to improve his strength.
However, the physical condition of this body was simply too poor.
Just slapping Mu Qian twice felt like breaking his hands, sending waves of pain through him.
It seemed that improving his strength was now a matter of utmost urgency!
Seeing Mu Yun's swift and decisive actions, leaving Mu Qian seemingly stunned by the two slaps, Lu Xiaotian and Mo Wen behind him had different thoughts.
Lu Xiaotian had always known that Mu Yun was inherently timid and always submissive; today, he seemed like a completely different person.
Before, he would never have believed that Mu Yun would dare to slap Mu Qian.
However, this scene, in Mo Wen's eyes, was interpreted differently.
