Mu Chen lay on his bed, deep in thought. He pondered over the fact that he had transmigrated into a character who, for the sake of a white lotus, broke off an engagement, spent fortunes, and fierce...
Chapter 141 Jin Family Treasure House
"You failed. How could you fail?" Lu Yao frowned and looked at the person in front of him viciously.
"Mu Yuanfeng had a Martial King-level warrior by his side. Shadow One, Shadow Three, and Shadow Four were defeated and repelled." The man in black said apologetically.
"How could Mu Yuanfeng have a Martial King-level expert by his side?" The Xuanfeng Empire was no match for the Fran Empire; Martial King-level experts were rare. The fact that Mu Yuanfeng actually had one by his side, without even a hint of rumors, was incredibly strange.
The man in black sighed lightly and said, "He is indeed a powerful warrior at the level of Martial King, and his strength is indeed not weak. However, later on, my spies reported that the Martial King seemed to have limitations in his attacks." The man suddenly attacked, and the three shadow guards were all seriously injured. However, the man seemed to be concerned about something and did not pursue the victory.
"A Martial King wouldn't just appear out of thin air. Let's find a way to investigate this man's background." Lu Yao said with a serious face.
"Master, what should we do now? Should we try again?"
"If you miss the first attack, do you think the other party will leave you another chance?" Lu Yao said coldly.
He had already received the news that Mu Yuanfeng had entered the Holy Star Academy and became the temporary tutor of the Holy Star Academy.
Mu Chen handed Mu Yuanfeng over to Xiong Wei's care, and it was no longer possible for them to take action against Mu Yuanfeng again.
Lu Yao gritted his teeth. This guy Mu Chen was not only unwilling to trade the Hundred Training Body Techniques, but also spent a large amount of Yuanshi to find someone to embarrass him.
Originally, Lu Yao wanted to capture Mu Yuanfeng, teach Mu Chen a lesson, and see if Mu Chen, the legendary filial son, was really that filial. However, he didn't know that there was a master lurking beside Mu Yuanfeng, who allowed Mu Yuanfeng to escape.

Xiong Wei looked at Mu Chen and Ye Shi, with a strange look in his eyes.
Mu Yuanfeng actually has a follower of the Martial King level, but this person used to be a servant of Ye Shi.
Things are becoming more and more interesting. This kid Ye Shi seems to have an extraordinary background!
"Boy, your father lives here? Shouldn't you pay some accommodation fees?" Xiong Wei rubbed his thumb and index finger constantly, his eyes sparkling, like a mercenary and corrupt official, without any demeanor of a master.
Mu Chen looked at Xiong Wei calmly and said, "How much do you want?"
Xiong Wei looked at Muchen's calm expression and felt as if Muchen was saying, "Just tell me how much you want! I'm rich, come and rip me off!"
Xiong Wei cleared his throat and said slowly: "Since you are my apprentice, I won't ask for much. How about two hundred thousand stones a day?" Xiong Wei smiled and stretched out two fingers towards the two of them.
"Are you robbing me?" Ye Shi said angrily.
Xiong Wei looked at Ye Shi with disdain and said, "Little Stone, you really don't understand the market. If I were robbing someone, I wouldn't be asking for 200,000, but 2 million."
Ye Shi looked at Xiong Wei with a dark face and resentment.
"Deal." Mu Chen said calmly. Ye Shi looked at Mu Chen with a pained look.
Since Mu Yuanfeng is with Xiong Wei, Xiong Wei has to take the responsibility of taking care of Mu Yuanfeng. It is not expensive to hire an emperor-level strongman as a bodyguard for 200,000 yuan a day.
"Disciple, who did your father offend? Why did he provoke the powerful Martial King?" Xiong Wei looked at Mu Chen in confusion.
Mu Chen thought about it and decided that since everyone in Lu Yao's family knew about it, there was no point in hiding it, so he immediately told Xiong Wei about the Hundred Training Body Techniques.
After hearing what Mu Chen said, Xiong Wei frowned.
"Senior, I heard that you have been to the Fran Empire before!" Ye Shi suddenly thought of something and looked at Xiong Wei eagerly.
"Little Stone, you actually know this." Xiong Wei looked at Ye Shi in surprise.
Ye Shi nodded and said proudly, "I also know that you peeped at a beautiful woman bathing in the Fran Empire. As a result, she chased you for tens of thousands of miles. It was with great difficulty that you finally escaped and returned."
Xiong Wei blushed and said, "Whoever peeked at her taking a bath was just a coincidence."
At that time, he accidentally provoked a group of black horn bees. In a panic, he had to jump into the water for refuge. However, he didn't know that there was a woman bathing in the lake in the wilderness. He accidentally took a bath with the woman.
That woman was truly vicious, even more brutal than the black-horned bee that was chasing him. She chased him for tens of thousands of miles, through the heavens and the earth. Thinking of that time, Xiong Wei felt sad. At that time, he couldn't eat or sleep well, and his weight dropped rapidly.
"Master, do you know anything about the Jin family of the Fran Empire?" Mu Chen asked.
"Come to think of it, I actually know something." Xiong Wei said with his hands behind his back and his head held high.
Ye Shi said excitedly, "Really? Tell me, tell me."
Xiong Wei cleared his throat but didn't say anything. Ye Shi glared at him anxiously.
Xiong Wei looked at Mu Chen meaningfully. Mu Chen frowned and said, "Master, how much do you want? Tell me the number."
"Talking about money between us as master and disciple will hurt our relationship!" Xiong Wei sighed lightly.
Ye Shi rolled his eyes and looked at Xiong Wei strangely.
Xiong Wei said sternly, "If you discover the Jin family's treasure house, I will get 30% of what you find."
"Jin family treasure house? What is that?" Ye Shi asked in confusion.
"Keep it secret." Xiong Wei said seriously.
"Okay, 30%." Mu Chen stared at Xiong Wei and said.
Xiong Wei smiled and gave Mu Chen an appreciative look, "You have courage, apprentice. You will definitely have a bright future."
Mu Chen smiled bitterly and said, "Thank you for your good wishes, Master."
"After the Jin family's ancestor passed away, he seemed to have left behind a treasure trove. The Jin family has been searching for it, but it seems to have found nothing. Perhaps because the Jin family spent a lot of time and energy searching for the treasure trove and found nothing, the Jin family was eventually wiped out..."
"Then what?" Ye Shi asked anxiously.
"That's all." Xiong Wei said with a dry laugh.
Ye Shi's face darkened as he said, "It's gone, just like that?"
Xiong Wei shrugged and said, "Yes."
"Where is the treasure house?" Ye Shi glared at Xiong Wei fiercely.
Xiong Wei shook his head and said, "How should I know?"
"I don't know. You still want 30%? You're dreaming," Ye Shi scolded angrily.
"At least, I know there is a treasure house. Do you know?" Xiong Wei argued.
"Okay, Shitou, stop making trouble." Mu Chen shouted.
Ye Shi looked at Mu Chen with a look of grievance.
"Master, I'll leave my father and Uncle Chen in your care." Mu Chen said respectfully.
Xiong Wei nodded and said seriously, "Okay, don't worry. Even if the Lu family's ancestor comes in person, he won't be able to gain any advantage on my territory."
"Thank you, Master." Mu Chen said respectfully.
…………
Ye Shi followed Mu Chen angrily. Mu Chen looked at the furious Ye Shi and asked, "What's wrong?"
"That old man is going too far. He actually wants to ask us for 30% of the profits for such useless news. It's like the old guy said nothing." Ye Shi said with dissatisfaction.
Mu Chen said disapprovingly, "What does it matter? Anyway, up to now, we don't even know what the treasure is, and whether we can find it is still uncertain. Even if we do find it, if that old man doesn't go with us, we will have the final say on what's in the treasure house. If he goes with us, he's stronger than us, so giving him 30% is not too much."
Ye Shi blinked and said, "That makes sense!"
"This matter is not that simple." Mu Chen said with a serious expression.
Ye Shi blinked his eyes and looked at Mu Chen in confusion.
"The man who massacred the entire Jin family should also know about the Jin family's treasure. If we really find the treasure, those people might interfere, and we will definitely need Xiong Wei's help." Mu Chen said.
The Hundred Body Building Techniques were a difficult thing to keep! The entire Jin family was wiped out because of it. Even though that family was down and out, they still had two powerful Martial Kings.
He is just a martial spirit, and the other party can easily crush him to death. Fortunately, he is now in the Holy Star Academy, and the other party should not dare to attack him.
Ye Shi frowned. Mu Yuanfeng was attacked probably because of the Hundred Tempering Body Art. The Hundred Tempering Body Art seemed to be a good thing, but it was really hot!
"The treasure is so easy to take, the Jin family would have taken it out long ago, so how could it be our turn? There must be some reason behind this." Mu Chen said thoughtfully.
Ye Shi rolled his eyes and said, "I think that only after refining the body to a certain level can the treasure house be opened."
Mu Chen looked at Ye Shi and asked, "Why do you think so?"
"Because Fu Yuanbao said that the people of the Jin family are obsessed with body refining! If I knew that my family had a treasure house, my mind would definitely be on the treasure house, and I would not spend so much effort on body refining. Unless, only when the body is refined to a certain level can the treasure be found." Ye Shi shrugged.
A glimmer flashed in Mu Chen's eyes, "What you said makes sense."
Ye Shi smiled faintly and said, "There won't be any progress on the treasure house for a while. Muchen, I'm worried about Uncle Chen."
Mu Chen frowned. Although Chen Da disliked him a little, he was still very grateful to Chen Da because the other party saved Mu Yuanfeng.
If Mu Yuanfeng fell into Lu Yao's hands, he would be in a passive situation because he would be afraid to act rashly.
"Your Uncle Chen looks to be in good health now, you don't have to worry too much." Mu Chen said.
Ye Shi lowered his head and said worriedly, "I feel that this move has a great impact on Chen Da."
Mu Chen narrowed his eyes. He had the same feeling. Chen Da's vitality seemed to be much dimmer than before, and he was much weaker. Fortunately, he should still be able to be saved.
"Mu Chen, do you think Uncle Chen's injury can't be cured?" Ye Shi asked with some concern.
"I think there must be a way to cure Uncle Chen. He himself may even know if there is a way to cure him. However, he felt that we were not capable enough, so he did not tell us." Mu Chen said after thinking for a while.
Ye Shi puffed out his cheeks and said dejectedly, "Then what should we do?"
"Find a way to improve your strength as soon as possible. Only when you are strong can you come into contact with more powerful people." Mu Chen said lightly.
Ye Shi blinked. As a martial artist, he might not be able to help Chen Da. However, if he became a martial king or even a martial emperor, he would definitely find a way. He must improve his strength as soon as possible.
