Chapter 39
At this time, the atmosphere became increasingly depressing as the people walked in slowly in the Mu family hall.
The person who came was from the other three families among the four major families in Nanmucheng. The leader was the patriarch of each family, and the one who followed was also the real power elders in their respective families.
On the Mu family, the old patriarch had already brought a group of elders and waited in the hall with a heavy expression.
"Hahaha, Brother Qian Ji has been missing for a long time, and he is still so charming!" The originally quiet atmosphere was suddenly broken by an old man who came over and laughed without regard.
Hearing this laughter, Mu Qianji, the old leader of the Mu family, and the elders, had no intention of relaxation at all, but instead secretly raised their minds to be vigilant.
"Hahaha, Old Ghost Ye, you are in good health. Why did you come to see me today?" Mu Qianji replied with a sarcastic smile.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Mu Qianji and everyone came up to meet him and welcomed the few people who came into the hall.
The four clan leaders sat down separately, and the elders stood behind him, quietly waiting for their clan leaders to speak.
The four of them looked at each other and were silent for a while before Mu Qianji took the initiative to speak and talked about the topic.
"The three of you haven't come to my Mu family for a long time, but today we suddenly arrived together, but I don't know what happened?" Mu Qianji tasted the spiritual tea in the cup, glanced at the three of you and said slowly.
Seeing Mu Qianji explaining his words directly, the three of them looked calm and thought they had discussed it before.
Among them, Wu Cang, the old patriarch of the Wu family, was signaled by the other two and said, "I heard that the Mu family has had many great things recently, but the three of us were very unfortunate and had no chance to come and congratulate them, but today we caught up."
Listening to Wu Cang's obvious hint, and looking at the expressions of the other two, Mu Qianji couldn't help but feel sank in his heart. He wanted to suppress my Mu family with both hands.
"Where did my Mu family come from recently? I can make Brother Wu worry about it." Mu Qianji shook his head and denied it.
However, without diverting the target for Mu Qianji, Jin Xuan, the old patriarch of the Jin family, took the conversation and said, "Brother Qianji is so strange. The envoy of the Wood Family in Hei Shui Country and Miss Ouyang from the Hanxing Sect of Nanli Country are these great people who we can't ask for."
Originally, Mu Qianji wanted to separate the three of them slowly to see if there was a chance to separate the three of them. However, when he saw that the other party did not give him a chance to separate and disintegrate, Mu Qianji knew that today's things were not good.
The three people on the other side seemed to know this. Although the four of them said a lot in the subsequent conversation, they never talked about anything serious. Mu Qianji tried many times, but was blocked by the three people, showing that they were in a row of hands.
The four of them were chatting and laughing at each other, looking like they were having fun. However, after hearing the mystery in the Mu family, the elders of the Mu family were all worried, fearing that the three families would join forces, and the Mu family would be in danger in Nanmu City.
Before, these four major families and their affiliated families were all restricted and balanced with the power of the people, and they were always peaceful. When they encountered forces outside Nanmu City, they were also advancing and retreating together.
However, although the three families came together today, although they did not say it out loud, the intention of suppressing them was very obvious, and the Mu family had to sweat a lot.
Suddenly, Mu Qianji, who felt that the test was almost done, secretly gave Mu Baizhi a look when he picked up the teacup again.
Mu Baizhi, who understood it immediately, suddenly walked out quickly in front of everyone's eyes, and said passionately: "I have been together for nearly a hundred years. We have supported each other to create the four major families in Nanmucheng today."
The appearance of Mu Baizhi broke the originally very quiet scene, which was unexpected by no one in the parties, and there was a stir immediately.
However, whether it was the old patriarch of the Mu family or the old patriarch of the other three families, their expressions remained unchanged at all. Without the intention of stopping Mu Baizhi, the others became quiet again.
Seeing this situation, Mu Baizhi took a deep breath, his expression gathered, and continued, "I don't know if there is any rumors that have caused us some misunderstandings. It is true that my Mu family is a branch of the Mu family in Hei Shui Country. Miss Ouyang has visited my Mu family, and Hanxing Sect has also sent a lot of treasures."
"But, after my Mu family contacted the Heishui Country family many years ago, you also found a large force, so that everyone has been in peace for decades. And Miss Ouyang came to my Mu family just to get my family out of engagement. Will I still like my little Mu family?" Mu Baizhi shook his head and sighed with a sigh.
At the same time, Mu Baizhi also secretly observed everyone's reactions. Although many elders' expressions changed, they thought they had some plans. However, the four patriarchs still silently tasted the spiritual tea in their hands, without any change.
Seeing this, Mu Baizhi gritted his teeth and continued: "Nanmu City has achieved prosperity for a hundred years, and it can be said that it is prosperous and prosperous. If it is separated and disintegrated, the four families will be in front of you when the decline of the four families are in sight. Today's four major families in Nanmu City may not be the four major families tomorrow."
"Elder Baizhi, be careful. Today, our four families have finally gathered together, how can you make such a mess?" Just as Mu Baizhi began to be a little confused, Mu Qianji suddenly put down his teacup heavily and scolded.
Seeing that the old patriarch finally took over the topic, Mu Baizhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly accused everyone of crime, and then retreated from everyone's sight.
Of course, everyone knows Mu Qianji's instructions about Mu Baizhi's behavior, so of course they won't say anything.
"Hahaha, is this what Elder Baizhi said right? The four of us have today, and it is indeed like this. I have always been so warned by this. Brother Qianji, why bother to get angry?" Jin Xuan also put down the teacup, smiled, and said in a change of tone.
"Yes, yes, yes. All this is true." Ye Lan also echoed casually.
"What I said makes sense, but it's much better than the little guys in my family." Wu Cang said with a loud laugh.
Seeing the reactions of the three of them, Mu Qianji also felt relieved. It seemed that the three of them just wanted to suppress them this time, and there was no intention of tearing them apart.
Recently, the sudden appearance of the Mu family's envoy and Ouyang Qingxin made many small forces look up at the Mu family. In addition, the invisible influence of the Hanxing Sect made the other three major families feel a little crisis.
Although everyone could see clearly that neither the Mu family's main family was far away in the Hei Shui Kingdom or the Hanxing Sect, which was so short-lived that it was difficult to encounter, would become the power of the Mu family.
However, the influence this time was a bit great, so great that the other three families had to be tougher to avoid their own power being damaged. This led to the situation where the three of them suppressed the Mu family in one after another.
However, the four old patriarchs knew the situation of the four major families, as Mu Baizhi said, harmony will benefit both the two harms.
After hitting the Mu family with one hand, Mu Qianji would let Mu Baizhi come out and make everyone step back.
Sure enough, the tone of the four old patriarchs changed, and they suddenly became much more friendly, and they started to talk like real old friends.
As for the four elders who followed them, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the wind, and their expressions were not that heavy.
After another incense stick, I felt that the atmosphere was almost done. The heads of the three families exchanged their eyes in secret.
"Hey, actually, this time I'm waiting for the Yu Mu family, I hope Brother Qian Ji can help you!" The old patriarch Ye Lan, who was introduced to be the representative, said helplessly.
The other two also looked at Mu Qianji and their expressions suddenly became much more serious.
The main topic is here. In addition to Mu Qianji, the elders of the Mu family also had their expressions highly concentrated. The purpose of these three families is finally about to be expressed today.
