"Wait, you didn't seem to hear what I just said, Mu Ruian. As the head of the family, you disregard the family's interests and arbitrarily favor your own children. How do you explain this?" Mu Yunshui certainly wouldn't be fooled by Mu Ruian's words, and asked aggressively.

This time when he came to Black Stone City, he received a lot of benefits from the Great Elder, and someone from the clan also secretly hinted at him. How could he let Mu Ruian go easily?

"I, Mu Ruian, believe that I have always acted uprightly and have never sacrificed public interests for personal gain or damaged the interests of the family. I don't know what Uncle Seventeen is talking about. Is there any real evidence?" Mu Ruian asked with a cold face.

The Mu family is about to be in trouble, and he doesn't want to cause trouble at this time, but if Mu Yunshui insists on being aggressive, he is not afraid of him.

Mu Yunshui was also a descendant of the branch family, but his father had made great contributions to the main family and even sacrificed his life for it, so Mu Yunshui was adopted by an elder of the main family since childhood. His talent was average, and he had no outstanding qualities, but his father had sacrificed his life to make great contributions to the main family, and his adoptive father was an elder, so his status was not bad.

This is also the reason why he was able to obtain this position of worship.

According to the rules of the Mu clan, elders are usually appointed by the elders of the main clan, second only to the head of the clan, while the position of honor is held by the elders of the branch clans, with a slightly lower status. Of course, this is only relative. In reality, with the status of one of the eight great clans, even if it is just an honor, the status is far beyond the reach of ordinary people.

However, Mu Ruian knew Mu Yunshui's background and didn't take him seriously at all. If it weren't for the undercurrents in Black Stone City, he wouldn't bother to flatter him.

"Mu Ruian, you actually have the nerve to say that with hard evidence. That Marrow Cleansing and Meridian Strengthening Pill originally belonged to our Mu family. You gave it to your good-for-nothing son without consulting us. Isn't that abusing your power for personal gain? Isn't that biased and unfair?"

"Are you talking about the marrow cleansing and meridian strengthening pill?" Mu Ruian's expression became strange, and he was a little bit amused.

To be honest, he really used his power for personal gain in this matter, but in fact, Mu Hanyan did not use the marrow cleansing and meridian strengthening pill at all. She could achieve her current level of cultivation entirely by herself.

Moreover, with Mu Hanyan's current strength, that marrow cleansing and meridian-clearing pill is not worth mentioning at all.

As time passed, even Mu Ruian himself had forgotten about this matter, but he did not expect that it would become a handle for the Great Elder to bring an army to punish him.

Mu Ze and the others were also puzzled. It had been so long since the events of the past, yet the Great Elder still couldn't help but think about it. Although they had been dissatisfied with the matter at first, the elixirs Mu Hanyan had given them were countless times more valuable than the Marrow Cleansing and Vein Cleansing Pills, so they had long forgotten about it. But they hadn't expected the Great Elder to bring it up again.

Could it be that he had forgotten who saved Mu Feng's life during the trial? He even had the nerve to bring up a broken pill as an excuse.

At this point, even they felt a little contempt for the Great Elder. In their view, this was simply a boring farce.

Even Mu Feng himself blushed with shame. He had been concentrating on recuperating these days and had no idea that Mu Yunshui had come to Black Stone City. If he had known, he would have definitely opposed his grandfather's decision.

"It's just a broken pill, what's the big deal?" Mu Ze said disapprovingly.

"That's right. I thought something big had happened. They actually called us all over here. How boring." Mu Xitian also yawned.

"Forget it, Brother Hanyan, let's go back and practice. I haven't figured out that move just now, and I was just about to ask you for advice." Mu Jie said, looking at Mu Hanyan eagerly.

"Yes, yes, I also have a trick I want to learn from Brother Hanyan. Let's go."

"I have some too, I have some too. Let's go." The other Mu family members also said, surrounding Mu Hanyan and swarming towards his courtyard.

"Stop, everyone stop!" the elder roared angrily.

I remember that more than half a year ago, when the marrow cleansing and meridian-clearing pill was mentioned, all the Mu family members were indignant and united in hatred of the enemy. It has only been a short time, and they are too lazy to even mention it, and even show deep disdain on their faces.

The Great Elder also knew that these Mu disciples had been very close to Mu Hanyan recently, but he did not expect that they would be so close to Mu Hanyan that they even completely ignored him.

How could he be willing to see the dignity he had painstakingly built up over decades destroyed in an instant?

"Grandfather, why don't you just forget it? It's just a pill. It's been so long, so let's not talk about it." Not only others, but even Mu Feng whispered to persuade him.

"Stop, stop, all of you stop right there. There will be no order without rules. If the rules are broken, how can our Mu family discipline our descendants and how can we survive in the world?" Mu Feng's words were like adding fuel to the fire, causing the Great Elder to completely go berserk. He stood in front of everyone and roared angrily.

"Isn't it just a Marrow Cleansing and Veins Strengthening Pill? Here you go, give it to whoever you want." Mu Hanyan took out the jade bottle containing the Marrow Cleansing and Veins Strengthening Pill and threw it directly to the Great Elder.

This marrow cleansing and meridian strengthening pill carries too much love and care from her father. Mu Hanyan originally wanted to keep it for collection, but the Great Elder insisted on having it, so she gave it to him.

Perhaps, this pill is a rare elixir for ordinary people, and even for the Mu family in Black Stone City, it is worth a fortune, but with Mu Hanyan's vision, she really doesn't take it seriously.

The Great Elder took the jade bottle and when he opened it, he was stunned.

The pill inside was one of the two marrow cleansing and meridian strengthening pills bought by the third elder. He would never be wrong.

In other words, Mu Hanyan hadn't taken the Marrow Cleansing and Meridian Cleansing Pill at all. His strength had nothing to do with the pill at all? But how was that possible? Wasn't he born useless? How could he have cultivated strength stronger than Mu Feng without relying on the pill?

You should know that his Mu Feng originally had good talent. He used various exotic flowers and herbs to make soup to temper his body and cleanse his meridians since he was a child. He practiced hard for more than ten years and only then did he achieve his current level of cultivation.

Mu Hanyan also grew up under his care, and he knew his qualifications and strength very well. The reputation of being a natural waste was not groundless. Just a year ago, Mu Hanyan was only at the entry-level swordsman level, only slightly better than those civilian children who had never practiced. In terms of qualifications, he was not even as good as many civilians.

But, in less than a year, she had already surpassed Mu Feng by a wide margin, and not by relying on the Marrow Cleansing and Meridian Removing Pill, but on her own hard work. Was this Mu Hanyan really the natural loser he knew her to be?
