Chapter 130 The Way Out
Although Yunhua said that, Mu Ningxue didn't relax much, after all, the two people Mu Zhuoyun had found before had also made the same promises.
After explaining the matter, Mu Ningxue planned to leave, since there was no point in saying too much before the final result was in.
At this moment, Yunhua suddenly stopped Mu Ningxue and said with a serious expression, "I suggest that you have your father develop some businesses in secret and not get too close to the Mu family."
Upon hearing Yunhua's suggestion, Mu Ningxue frowned, wondering why Yunhua would say such a thing.
Yunhua couldn't directly reveal what would happen in the future, so she subtly reminded Mu Ningxue: "Ever since the disaster in Bo City, I've been paying close attention to the Black Vatican. Not long ago, I learned from an intelligence dealer that there are still members of the Black Vatican who instigated the chaos in Bo City, lurking in the Mu family's home in Bo City."
Mu Ningxue's expression changed, and she said somewhat agitatedly, "Are you sure?"
Seeing Yunhua's resolute expression, Mu Ningxue believed he wasn't lying, but this only made her heart sink.
She knew that if the Mu family got involved with the Black Vatican, then the Mu family would face the evil side of the world, and they would have no way to resist it, because that evil was covered by a layer of justice and morality.
The Black Vatican stands on the opposite side of humanity and is hated by the entire world. Too many people have lost their families and lives because of the Black Vatican.
Even if the Mu family is innocent, they still have to bear the wrath of these people. They can't explain themselves because any words are powerless in the face of life.
Yunhua continued, "If this news gets out, you can imagine what will happen. The Mu clan won't care about the Mu family's life or death, so you need to prepare in advance."
Mu Ningxue nodded, indicating that she understood.
"There's one more thing. You need to be careful with your Ice Crystal Bow; it's very dangerous," Yunhua said.
"I know."
Mu Ningxue had used the Ice Crystal Bow during her training, and Yun Hua had witnessed the aftereffects, so he wasn't surprised that Mu Ningxue said that.
However, Yunhua shook her head, rejecting Mu Ningxue's idea.
"No, you didn't understand what I meant. The danger of the Ice Crystal Bow doesn't actually lie within itself, but rather comes from the outside world."
"Even if the Black Vatican incident hadn't happened, I wouldn't want you to rely too much on the Mu Clan. They nurtured you for the Ice Crystal Bow, and the ultimate result of this kind of nurturing will be your death."
Why do you say that?
Yunhua didn't answer directly, but instead asked Mu Ningxue a question first: "How does the Mu clan treat you?"
Mu Ningxue hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying, "They are very good to me, very good."
Despite this, there was a hint of unease in Mu Ningxue's eyes, clearly indicating that there was more to the story.
The Mu clan has been entrenched in the capital for hundreds of years. For the Mu clan, geniuses are merely tools to strengthen the family, and are dispensable.
Although she is exceptionally talented, the Mu clan has always taken care of her in every way and provided her with resources until now.
Just as Mu Ningxue said, the Mu clan took exceptional care of her, far exceeding that of others. Mu Ningxue had no idea why this was the case, and this unknown always frightened her.
Yunhua: "The reason why the Mu clan treats you this way is because of the fragments of the 'Broken Bow' inside your body."
Mu Ningxue subconsciously placed her hand on her chest.
"You're not the only one who possesses the shards of the chariot."
Yunhua's words were like a boulder dropped into a calm lake, stirring up towering waves.
Mu Ningxue looked at Yunhua in disbelief. The owner of the shards of the scythe was someone else besides her!
Mu Ningxue instantly recalled the scenes when the Mu clan members gave her the fragments. Each time, they would watch her integrate the fragments into her body before leaving.
"Bow keeper, that's what they seem to call you, the owners of the broken bow fragments. The Mu clan never gives the fragments to their direct descendants, but rather to you collateral descendants, because you are merely tools for them to nurture the broken bows."
Mu Ningxue bit her upper and lower lips slightly, finding it hard to accept the facts Yunhua had told her.
"I can sense that your cultivation level is much stronger than when you were on your last training. Although the fragments of the Chariot Bow can improve your cultivation, the price you pay is too high. You should understand what I'm talking about now."
Mu Ningxue knew that Yunhua was right; the boost from the shards of the shards was indeed significant. By absorbing ice-elemental crystals to fill the shards, she could improve her cultivation.
But the price was an intrusive, chilling attack; the shards of the bow, like ice demons, spurred her to continuously improve her cultivation.
When her cultivation level could no longer withstand the cold prison, her soul would be forever sealed in the abyss.
Yunhua looked at Mu Ningxue's silver hair. He knew that Mu Ningxue's original hair color was not this color, but the side effects of the shards of the scythe were too strong.
Great power always comes at a great price, no matter who it is.
"Are the other owners of the shards of the 'Bow' also like me?"
Yunhua shook her head and said, "They are the real tools used to nurture the shards of the shards. When the shards of the shards are needed, they will be taken out from their bodies."
Mu Ningxue pressed on, asking, "What will happen after the shards of the chariot are removed?"
"At best, you'll lose all your cultivation; at worst, you'll die. You haven't completely lost your value because of your strength, but if they think you can no longer nurture the fragments of the Blade Bow, you'll become one of them."
Mu Ningxue gripped the clothes tightly to her chest, her fingernails digging into her palms, the bright red blood staining her white trench coat with a sorrowful hue.
"Why are you willing to tell me so much?" Mu Ningxue asked.
"I don't want you to get hurt," Yunhua said calmly.
"In short, we need to make plans early, but for now we should pretend we don't know anything. After all, the Mu family is a powerful clan. For now, we should just play along. But when it really comes to a point where we have to break off relations, don't hesitate to call me. I will lend you a hand."
Just as Mu Ningxue was still confused by what Yunhua had told her, Yunhua yawned and said, "Oh dear! It's so late, I should go to sleep. The night wind is strong, you should go home early too."
Mu Ningxue was also planning to go back and discuss these matters with Mu Zhuoyun, so she got up to say goodbye.
As she reached the door, Mu Ningxue suddenly stopped, looked into Yunhua's eyes, and said, "Thank you."
After Mu Ningxue left, Yunhua left behind a single sentence.
"I don't want a thank you."
