"Let her be."

  Si Mo's distant finger pointed again, making Mu Qing Ge the target of public criticism once more.

  Those eyes looking at her, with astonishment, jealousy, unwillingness, and also incredulity...

  It can be said that there are all sorts of people in the world.

  I'm afraid that the number of people who are truly happy for her can be counted on one hand. Her own grandfather and aunt, plus Xiao Paozi from the Shao family, who is more excited than herself about being chosen.

  And there is another one...

  Mo Qing's gaze swept lightly across her face, his eyes lingering for a moment at the corner of her eye.

  Just now, at this banquet's sudden event, she had been keeping an outsider's demeanor. Except for the initial act of lending a helping hand, afterwards almost everything that happened was unrelated to her.

  At this moment, Mu Qing also only saw a hint of envy and a faint sense of loss on her face.

  "Ah..." Qin Cang also didn't react in time, and once again asked Si Mo for confirmation: "Your Majesty Sheng Wang, are you referring to Mu Qingge of the Mu Manor?"

  Apart from Xiaoge, who else can enter his eyes?

  He sneered in his heart, but nodded lightly on his face. Bearing with patience, he once again expressed his choice.

  He's really that useless Mochizuki!

  This time, the eyes looking at Mu Qingge were no longer hiding their jealousy and malice, but were naked and bare.

  "Your Majesty, this young master of the Mu family is a well-known good-for-nothing and cannot cultivate at all. Your Majesty must not be deceived by him!"

  "He is indeed a wastrel, only indulging in sensual pleasures and lacking in learning. With only a good appearance to his name, he is truly a prodigal son; I implore Your Majesty to reconsider."

  "I implore Your Majesty to think thrice and not be deceived by such people."

  "We may not have gained your majesty's favor, but we truly cannot bear to see your majesty being humiliated! If such a person is associated with your majesty, they will surely use your influence for personal gain and tarnish your reputation."

  The arrogant young masters of various noble families all chimed in with their advice.

  It seems that Mu Qingge is a disgusting insect that everyone hates, and whoever gets involved with her will be unlucky. Completely disregarding Mu Xiong's increasingly ugly face.

  These people have been blinded by jealousy.

  If it were someone else who was being targeted at this time, they might not have done so. But unfortunately, it's Mu Qingge, and that's not possible.

  If even a worthless person like her can enter the eyes of the Holy King, doesn't that mean they are not even as good as a worthless person?

  The young talents of the Qin State, you one word and I one word, almost made Mu Qingge a sinner. This scene is in line with Qin Cang's thoughts. In his opinion, those who can be favored by His Majesty Sheng Wang, the strongest man on the Linchuan continent, should be his sons. What about Mu Qingge? A waste that can't even infuse spiritual energy.

  So he, the ruler of a country, remained silent. Waiting for Mu Qingge to retreat in low spirits under everyone's attack, waiting for these aristocratic sons' 'impertinence' to anger that person. In the end, his son reaped the benefits.

  However, his most favored son, due to the involvement of the He family, is probably out of luck. It depends on what the Crown Prince will do.

  Thinking of this, Qin Cang couldn't help but cast a encouraging glance at Prince Qin Jin.

  This scene made Qin Jing's eyes sting with pain and anger burning in his chest.

  "This encouraging gaze should have belonged to him!"

  But at this moment, he could only remain silent, watching the person he most despised and hated with satisfaction.

  'Qin Jinyu, Mu Qingge, and that damned He Cheng! You three wait for me!'

  Qin Jinhao's eyes blazed with anger, his fingernails digging deep into his palm without him realizing it.

  The battered and bruised Mu Qingge, with a faint smile at the corner of her mouth, seemed to be saying that those people's insults were not directed at her. She was playing with a wine cup in her hand, and her eyes seemed to be drawn to the clear liquid inside the cup, which emitted a faint aroma of wine.

  "It's too much!" Mu Lianrong slammed her fist on the table in a fit of rage. Under the faint yellow glow that rose from her fist, the thick and sturdy table had already developed numerous fine cracks.

  "Lian Rong." Mu Xiong shouted in a low voice. Wasn't he angry in his heart? However, He Cheng's actions earlier had already made the Mu family conspicuous, and if they were to launch another strong attack now, they might give Emperor Sheng a bad impression and ruin the opportunity that belonged to Mu Qing Ge.

  So they have to endure.

  From start to finish, Muxiong always felt that the Holy King treated his family's light song with a different gaze. Perhaps it was that one time she calmly faced flogging, a scene of unyielding pride, that made this powerful man unintentionally remember.

  So he firmly believed that no matter what those people said, it would not affect His Majesty's judgment.

  "Auntie, why bother with those narrow-minded people?" Mu Qingge said with a smile, her eyes scanning over Mu Lianrong's clenched fist.

  "They're saying that about you!" Mu Lianrong was so angry that her teeth were chattering. She really didn't understand, being talked about like this, how could Mu Qingge still be so calm, this wasn't like her usual self at all.

  "What they said is indeed true." Mu Qing Ge shrugged indifferently.

  She doesn't care about being favored by Mr. Yokai at all, whoever likes it can take it away.

  "You..." Mu Lianrong was choked by Mu Qingge's words. She looked at Mu Qingge with a mixture of anger and helplessness, but in the end, all her words turned into a sigh.

  "Hey! That's enough from you all! Is my elder brother someone that you bunch of dogs can talk about? The Holy King taking a liking to my elder brother just goes to show that he has exceptional talent and an extraordinary foundation. How could it be something that you common folk can understand? I think, you're all just jealous and resentful! That's why you're slandering my elder brother."

  On this side, Mu Qingge had just comforted Mu Lianrong, while on the other side, Shao Pangzi's voice of taking justice into his own hands came out.

  Mu Qingge raised an eyebrow and looked over, seeing Shao Pangzi's plump figure, she stood up despite her family's attempts to stop her, her face filled with righteous indignation.

  At this moment, Mu Qing smiled slightly.

  Shao Pangzi this brother, is indeed not bad.

  She thought to herself: Mu Qingge, Mu Qingge, the only outsider who can stand up for you in the midst of wind and waves is probably this fat guy in front of you. In life, having a bosom friend like him isn't bad at all.

  "Hmph, who do I think you are? It turns out to be another famous useless playboy from our Luodu. Shaoyue Ze, what kind of goods do you think you are? Also a useless person, only good at making a big show on women's bellies." Someone sneered.

  Another person hastily picked up the conversation: "Haha, the two big rascals of Ludu, apart from running amok on the streets, probably the most familiar territory is those dirty and filthy dens of vice."

  "Are you both exceptionally talented? Gifted with exceptional intelligence? If the two of you can be called that, then aren't we geniuses among geniuses?"

  "You! A bunch of useless, jealous fools, thinking you're something good? Bah! Hypocrites." Shao Pangzi spat a mouthful of saliva on the ground, his small eyes full of disdain...
