The Young Master of the Mu Family

of an eye, I saw a translucent thing suddenly appear and grow larger, and Mr. Ou vanished in an instant!This is——That white sedan skidded and sped towards the exit.If I hadn't seen Mu Wanchen the past..."Are you kidding me! You think the Si family isn't already hateful enough towards us Xia Qiao, you've gone bad!" My brother looked like he wouldn't be fooled and was trying to set clear boundaries.

Actually, I have a little bit of mischief in my heart. After all, my brother never seems flustered or nervous about anything.

I also want to see if he would be shy, nervous, blushing... It's unlikely he'd blush.

He would be blushing any minute now!

As we were whispering, a few people in dark-colored Chinese clothing quietly stood at the entrance of the banquet hall. One of them even glanced our way.

My heart immediately went on alert -- what was going on

"Bro, these guys seem to be... from the Situ family." I whispered to my brother.

My brother sat up straight and tilted his head to ask, "Xia Qiao, do you need to go to the restroom"

I nodded quickly, and he got up and took my arm, saying to the waiter behind us, "Make way."

As we were just about to leave, Master Situ stood up and bowed to everyone present. "Fellow cultivators, I believe you all know about the situation with the Tong Xuan Meeting... This poor Dao struggled hard to provide a platform for training for the younger generations. Thanks to Daoist Lingxu, Master Yuanhui, and Madam Ma who have spared no effort and taken turns in charge, setting an example for the younger generation... However, some families are acting independently, not only failing to communicate amicably, but also being aggressive, even harming others and robbing treasures!"

To harm people and steal treasures This is the most abhorrent behavior among these righteous individuals.

Someone immediately chimed in, "Master Situ, why don't you just say who it is That way, we can be on guard against these scoundrels."

"That's right, these days those who hurt others and steal treasures are definitely demons and evildoers."

"A few days ago, I heard that a Taoist temple in Bei Mian was vandalized and robbed. It was because there were a few ancient artifacts in the temple, and greedy people came to snatch them. The end times are truly a time when morals decline and people's hearts are dark!"

"President Si, who is this person We have always been united against such malicious acts!"

A sense of foreboding crept into my heart. Could that old fox, Situ, be planning to turn the tables on me

My brother was stopped by two men in black from the Situ family. The old Situ sneered, "I haven't finished speaking yet, you two rising stars of the Mu family, where do you intend to go"

It's definitely aimed at us!

"I wonder what Steward Si has to say" My brother sneered.

Madam Shen's face was unsightly, as if caught in some strange predicament. Was Old Master Situ attacking us Or was he hesitant to help us out

Lin Yanqin was even more astonished, looking at us and then at Situ Laowai. She couldn't help but speak up: "Uncle Situ, Mu Yunfan and Mu Xiaoqiao are guests I invited. You—"

“Miss Lin, don’t be deceived by these two people.” The old man Situ sneered: “Although Mu Yunfan is young, he is a ruthless character among his peers. He is quick-witted, shameless, and has a black heart! Otherwise, Old Master Mu wouldn't have handed over power to him. I heard that he was very capable of managing the Mu family, even some elders were not his opponents. Such a disrespectful young man, how could he be a good person!”

His eyes swept over me, a blade of malice hidden within them: "As for Mu Xiaoqiao, she is even more arrogant! I believe everyone knows her story. After Huangdao Village's Wan Gui Cave was breached, she disappeared for a time, and then suddenly reappeared... Is this something a mortal could do I wonder how she beguiled the honored gods. On the surface, she appears innocent and harmless, but in reality, she is ruthlessly cruel!"

"I entrusted Liu Daoist with a magic artifact, but she stole it and seriously injured him—breaking one kidney and stabbing his intestines. He is currently in the ICU under observation. These two young friends of the Mu family are not old, yet they have learned Master Mu's ruthlessness from his youth to perfection!"

He looked down at us with arrogance, beckoning to the black-clad men of the Situ family: “As the president and one of the founders of the Xuanhui Society, I have to give an explanation to Liu Daoist's sect. I'll take these two away first! Send them to Liu Daoist's sect to personally visit the mountain gate and apologize. Young people should mend their ways and return to the right path!”

As soon as he said that, everyone nodded in agreement. The men in black from the Situ family surrounded us.

What's going on! Are you going to kidnap us in front of everyone And do it so openly!

He's saying all this, isn't he, just to isolate our Mu family from the whole circle Is there no one who dares to speak up for us

"Old man, you're quite good at turning the tables! You hid sacred relics and attempted to overturn the balance of yin and yang, yet you dare accuse us of harming people and stealing treasures!" My brother retorted with a frown.

The old man let out two cold laughs: "… Young man, mind your words. This old man is just an ordinary person. How could I possibly come into contact with sacred objects of the honored gods Besides, as a cultivator and the head of this sect, responsible for coordinating all the mountain gates across the land, how could I possibly overturn the balance of Yin and Yang"

This old geezer! We can't argue with him, he doesn't care about any rules and regulations at all because he's not even normal!

Mrs. Shen frowned and said, "Master Situ, what did these two youngsters do Could you please explain it in detail"

Sirtuos old man nodded slightly and said, "Daoist Shen, you are a giant in the circle. You should know how vicious it is to injure and rob people in today's world. This Mu Xiaoqiao, taking advantage of her special status, drives the ghost messenger to use torture to hurt souls, causing Daoist Liu's body to be seriously injured and almost dying. However, Daoist Liu has nothing to do with them. Such a heavy hand was only because of the magic weapon that Daoist Liu was responsible for protecting."

“You’re lying!” I shoved past my brother and shouted, “You’re twisting the truth, forcibly taking away the sacred relic, and secretly hiding it with ulterior motives! Old Mrs. Shen, do you know that that seal was originally given to me by him——”

Grandma Shen raised her hand, signaling me to not speak the name of the divine being.

There are some things that are taboo.

Even if everyone knows and can guess who "he" is, they still can't say it out loud.

It's a joke to have the divine bestow their insignia of office upon a mortal, it greatly diminishes the lofty status of the celestial deities.

"Old man Situ smiled faintly and said, 'Daoist Shen, I know your family has some connection with these two young friends, but taking treasures by force and seriously injuring fellow cultivators is a serious taboo within our circle. You need to explain yourself to their respective schools. This is the rule, and it cannot be broken.'"

Those who wanted to curry favor with the Situ family immediately agreed. These people usually wouldn't dare to go against the domineering Shen family, but now they finally found a vent for their frustration.

My brother's face was gloomy, and he stared coldly at Lin Yanqin. Lin Yanqin panicked and hurriedly stood up, accidentally knocking over her cup —

The wine glass shattered against the blue-and-white porcelain plate, emitting a sharp and jarring sound.

For a moment, the banquet hall was deathly silent. All eyes were on her. She was so nervous that her face had paled. In a low voice, she explained: "Uncle Situ, how could Xiao Qiao possibly hurt anyone She's pregnant, she—" I dare not. This servant is just repeating my master's words..." Huangpi shrank back another step.She raised her hand and bit through the monk's finger, smearing the blood on the ground to write a pl...
