Beauty Chairwoman's Bodyguard Expert-Chapter 907 - 901 Plum Blossom Mark

Mu Qingchuan heard the old man’s words and, without any hesitation, walked directly towards the scar-faced man’s position. He had no defenses whatsoever, as even defense would be useless. A mythical strongman could kill them effortlessly.

Approaching the scar-faced man, Mu Qingchuan squatted down to take a closer look at him, focusing his gaze on his wrist, where there was a plum blossom-shaped mark.

"Plum blossom seal."

Upon seeing this plum blossom pattern, Mu Qingchuan’s face changed dramatically. Instinctively, he stepped back several times, his heart pounding uncontrollably at that moment. He felt a trace of cold sweat oozing from his forehead, and his back was chilled.

"Young Master Mu, what is the plum blossom seal?" Lin Yafei asked, puzzled by Mu Qingchuan’s reaction.

Mu Qingchuan took a deep breath and said in a serious tone, "I’ve only seen it in ancient books treasured by my family. Legend has it that the plum blossom seal is a mythical poison implanted directly within a person’s body. While the person with the seal is alive, it doesn’t activate and serves no purpose. However, once the person dies, their blood will seep out from their pores in a short time, transforming into the most terrifying poison. Within a radius of one mile, nothing can survive. If we had just killed him, no one in this villa would have escaped."

Upon hearing Mu Qingchuan’s words, both Mandala and Lin Yafei’s complexions changed simultaneously, especially Mandala. Although she could use poison, she could also refine poisons, and she had heard of the plum blossom seal. If the old man hadn’t intervened, killing the scar-faced man would have spelled their doom, as the plum blossom seal’s eruption is incredibly swift — even a mythical strongman couldn’t escape death.

Seeing the frozen scar-faced man, Lin Yafei’s heart welled with relief. Fortunately, Mandala hadn’t allowed Mu Qingchuan to kill the scar-faced man immediately, or the consequences would have been unthinkable.

"Now you understand, so, young girl, don’t poison me anymore. I mean no harm to you. If I wanted to kill you, I wouldn’t need to lift a finger. I could just wait for the plum blossom seal to explode. Besides, among you, apart from the young girl, none might have a chance to escape alive." The old man slowly descended from the void, smiling as he spoke.

Lin Yafei looked at the old man, her eyes flickering, and said in a solemn tone, "I wonder who you really are, sir. Who exactly is this granddaughter-in-law of the Lu Family you speak of? As far as I know, Lu Tianxing seems to be an orphan."

"Orphan, huh. Do you really think Lu Tianxing is an orphan?" The old man replied, looking at Lin Yafei.

Lin Yafei was momentarily stunned by this, unable to respond. Could Lu Tianxing be an orphan? She didn’t know, nor was she sure. All she knew was that Lu Tianxing grew up in an orphanage, which qualifies him as an orphan by definition. But the old man’s words clearly implied that Lu Tianxing might not be an orphan, and perhaps his parents were still alive.

"Grandpa, you know my brother, then do you know who my brother’s parents are?" Mandala asked at this moment.

"Little girl, are you trying to get information out of me?"

The old man glanced at Mandala and shook his head, saying, "I’m sorry, I can’t say for now. Only when I meet the young master will I tell him. Anyway, I just wanted to sneak a peek at the Lu Family’s granddaughter-in-law tonight, but had to reveal myself to save you all. However, it seems I’m not welcome here, so I’ll take my leave."

The old man’s gaze swept over Mandala and Mu Qingchuan, finally lingering on Lin Yafei for a moment, and then he vanished from sight with a flash.

Seeing the old man disappear, Mandala, Lin Yafei, and the others breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, he was gone. Whether the old man was a friend or foe, he put immense pressure on them. A mythical strongman could easily sweep them away at any time.

"Young Master Mu, thank you for today," Lin Yafei took a deep breath and said to Mu Qingchuan.

"Haha, Miss Lin, you’re too kind. Just fulfilling a request. By the way, it’s quite late, Miss Lin. You can rest first; I’ll keep watch here by myself," Mu Qingchuan said with a smile, without any trace of relaxation. Since the Heavenly God had sent someone to assassinate Bai Zhiqing, it didn’t mean there wouldn’t be another wave.

"Thank you, Young Master Mu," Lin Yafei accepted Mu Qingchuan’s offer graciously.

"Miss Lin, you’re too kind. If you have time, I hope you can accompany my sister. Honestly, I’ve never seen her have so many friends before,"

Mu Qingchuan recalled Mu Qingxue’s smile, his face showing a trace of warmth. He was Mu Qingxue’s brother, but he had never seen Mu Qingxue as happy as she was recently.

In the past, Mu Qingxue would lock herself in her room almost every day, except when she faced him. Her face rarely showed much happiness, and she hardly had any friends to talk to until she met Lin Yafei, Bai Zhiqing, and others. It was only then that he noticed the growing smile on his sister’s face.

"Young Master Mu, you’re being too formal. Qingxue is my friend, so visiting her is the least I can do."

"No matter what, I must thank you."

Meanwhile, at the hospital, Lu Tianxing sat on the bed and watched Sima Lingyun return after leaving. "Sima Lingyun, didn’t you leave? Why are you back?"

Sima Lingyun didn’t speak immediately but looked at Lu Tianxing with a somewhat troubled expression, only speaking after a while, "Judge, I need you to give me a reasonable explanation."

"Explanation? Sima Lingyun, what nonsense are you spouting? Don’t look at me with such a resentful gaze. People might think I did something to you. I don’t like men, nor do I like chrysanthemums," Lu Tianxing shrugged, innocently said.

"Judge, stop pretending to be confused. What’s going on with the Toxic Master? Why did she enter Beijing?" Sima Lingyun said with a grim face.

If it were other members of the Netherworld Mercenary Corps entering Beijing, his expression wouldn’t be so grim. But it was the Toxic Master, an unparalleled master of poisons, that’s entered. Such a person in Beijing is like a ticking time bomb. No, even more terrifying, like a nuclear bomb. If Mandala were to poison a densely populated area, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"How should I know? Maybe she just thinks the scenery in Beijing is nice and came to have a look," Lu Tianxing said blandly.

"Enjoying the scenery? Judge, do you believe the words coming out of your mouth?"

Sima Lingyun said harshly, "I don’t care why the Toxic Master is in Beijing. By tomorrow, she must leave Beijing."

"That’s impossible."

"Nothing is impossible. Judge, you ought to know how dreadful the Toxic Master is. Do you have any idea what could happen if she’s left in Beijing? If something happens, who will take responsibility? Can you bear it? If you’re looking to protect Bai Zhiqing and Lin Yafei, my Yanhuang Group can arrange for their protection, but the Toxic Master must leave Beijing," Sima Lingyun stated with determination.

As soon as Sima Lingyun finished, Lu Tianxing immediately replied, "I can bear it. I believe she won’t act recklessly, and besides, I don’t trust the people from your Yanhuang Group."
