Having children earns benefit, start competing for dominance in the world by marrying a wife

Murong Xue'er's eyes were shrouded in mist, and she appeared somewhat bewildered. Clearly, she had entered into a certain state of mind, and she hadn't anticipated that Lu Chen would push her away at this moment.

Lu Chen gazed into her eyes and said with a smile, "The master leads the student through the door, but cultivation depends on the individual. From now on, it's up to you. Do whatever you think you should do."

Murong Xue'er was slightly stunned, but then she began to disrobe Lu Chen once more, and this time, she did so with much more urgency.

This time, Lu Chen didn't stop her, and under Murong Xue'er's tentative efforts, she finally managed to complete the basic task of serving him.

Lu Chen had originally planned to practice calligraphy, but Murong Xue'er didn't give him the opportunity, as if she was possessed.

…

Meanwhile.

Youping County.

Mu Changtian was arranging the defenses in Lingyun City. They had already heard about the defeat of Great Wu's main forces, and North Prince had also conveyed in his latest military order that they should try to intercept the retreating troops of Great Wu.

At this moment, Mu Changtian felt immense pressure. According to the intelligence reports, there seemed to be two Grandmasters among Great Wu's main forces. Here, they had no Grandmasters at all, only Wenren Lie was somewhat stronger. Though they had firearms, killing a Grandmaster wasn't just a matter of using guns.

Standing on the city wall, Mu Changtian gazed at the distant forest, his heart filled with worry.

Just then, Wenren Lie also arrived at the city wall. Mu Changtian asked, "General Wenren, are you confident in facing a Grandmaster?"

Wenren Lie said indifferently, "Yes."

Hearing the calm tone of Wenren Lie, Mu Changtian could only smile bitterly in his heart. All the soldiers who came from the north were much like Wenren Lie, supremely confident at all times, and he wondered where their confidence stemmed from.

It seemed Wenren Lie sensed what Mu Changtian was worried about, so he directly asked, "Is General Mu worried that we are no match for those two Grandmaster Military Generals?" Read the latest on m_v-l'e|-NovelBin.net

Mu Changtian answered straightforwardly, "Yes, even with cannons, it's very difficult to breach a Grandmaster's Protective Gang Qi."

"Both of us are only at the Master Realm; to kill a Grandmaster will probably be very difficult."

Wenren Lie said without worry, "General Mu, you don't need to worry. The Prince has tasked us with holding this position and preventing Great Wu's defeated troops from retreating, he will surely send a powerful warrior."

Hearing what Wenren Lie said, Mu Changtian was momentarily stunned.

That's right, North Prince had taken part in the battle with Tianqi King; he couldn't possibly be unaware that Grandmasters can withstand cannon fire, he surely knew very well that a Master is no match for a Grandmaster, so he must have arranged for someone to come.

But, who exactly had he sent?

Mu Changtian thought about it; there were not many Grandmasters in North Country, other than Zhuge Zhongguang, the only Grandmasters he knew of were North Prince himself. But, given that North Prince was a Seignior, he certainly would not lightly enter the battlefield anymore unless it was absolutely necessary.

Could it be that North Prince sent Zhuge Zhongguang this time?

If it was just one Grandmaster, it was uncertain whether he would be a match for Zhan Hong and Xu Xingwen.

As Mu Changtian contemplated this, he suddenly felt a breeze brush by. The next moment, he faintly sensed that someone had appeared beside them.

Mu Changtian swiftly turned, alert, and said, "Who goes there!"

Before he could finish, he saw Wenren Lie greeting the suddenly appearing elder, "Master, you have arrived."

At this, Mu Changtian was taken aback. He looked at the elder before him; he had seen this man at North Prince Mansion, but since he was mostly in the military camp, he didn't know much about this man, only that he belonged to North Prince Mansion.

Mu Changtian felt puzzled; he couldn't detect any aura of a Martial Artist from the elder, as if he were just an ordinary person. However, the fact that Wenren Lie addressed the elder as "Master" suggested that the old man's strength was likely above Wenren Lie's.

Mu Changtian was perplexed, thinking that even if a Grandmaster concealed his aura, he should still be able to sense a faint Martial Artist aura. Moreover, the man had appeared abruptly on the city wall, and he hadn't even seen how the man ascended.

To suddenly appear before them, what kind of strength did this person possess?

Then Wenren Lie looked at Mu Changtian and said, "General Mu, you might not yet be acquainted with Master Xuanyuan. Allow me to introduce you. Master Xuanyuan was originally the City Lord of Great Yu City. Later, the Prince assigned Master Xuanyuan to Yan County, to oversee North Country's road construction."

Hearing this, Mu Changtian was taken aback. So, this person was the City Lord of Great Yu City; no wonder Wenren Lie called him Master.

Wenren Lie had come from Great Yu City, and indeed it was right to address his former superior as Master.

Mu Changtian then looked at Xuanyuan Chaoge and asked, "Master Xuanyuan, I hope you forgive my boldness in asking, are you a Grandmaster?"

Xuanyuan Chaoge didn't answer directly but said calmly, "General Mu, rest assured, if the King has sent me here, there is good reason for it."

Although Xuanyuan Chaoge did not respond directly, Mu Changtian discerned from Xuanyuan Chaoge's tone that he didn't consider those two Grandmaster Military Generals as threats at all, leading Mu Changtian to think that this man must be even more powerful than he had imagined.
