For example, if two hall masters fight over a piece of material and no one can stop them, the head of the family has to mediate.

For example, if Gongbo's family had a dispute with a certain family and the elders of Gongbo's family were unable to resolve the matter, the head of Gongbo's family would step in to handle it.

Although Gongbo's family is huge, big things don't happen every day. But if nothing happens after ten days or half a month, there is definitely a problem.

However, Mu Nanjin waited in the yard for half a month but no one came to see her. Not to mention that her life was very leisurely, it was just very boring to sit in the yard and wait every day.

[How come nothing major has happened in Gongbo's family, which is so big, in the past few days? 】

【There is a problem, something strange.】

[Let me see if Gongbo's family is really as peaceful as it appears...]

Gu Ming, who was sitting next to her drinking tea, raised his eyelids and glanced at her.

[Hey, the Third Elder and the Seventh Elder discovered a 50-kilometer-long spiritual vein three days ago. It's amazing that they discovered such a long spiritual vein. But why didn't they report such a big thing to me? ]

The third and seventh elders, who were working in the Elders' Hall, paused to smile.

The third elder looked at the other elders and saw that they all had strange expressions. He hesitated and said, "I think I heard the young master's voice."

"I heard it too." The Seventh Elder said with a dark face.

The other elders said they had heard it too.

"How could I hear her voice? Could she be nearby?"

The third elder released his spiritual sense to check the Elder Hall, but did not see Mu Nanjin.

The tenth elder frowned: "Could it be that the voice just now was her telepathy?"

The Ninth Elder shook his head: "I think it's more like her inner voice."

The Seventh Elder was surprised: "Can the voice of the heart be transmitted so far?"

The Ninth Elder sneered: "If everyone in Gongbo's family can hear her thoughts, then it's no wonder that her thoughts can be heard so far."

The seventh elder thought so too.

The third elder frowned and asked, "Who told the young master about the spiritual vein?"

After they came back, they only told the elders in the Elder Hall about the spiritual vein, and everyone unanimously decided not to make the matter public for the time being, and wait until the investigation was clear before telling Gongbo Jingfei and the people of Gongbo's family.

As for Mu Nanjin, they had forgotten about him.

The Ninth Elder rolled his eyes at him and said, "She knows everyone's privacy, so it's not surprising that she knows that you discovered the spiritual vein."

"But we just discovered the spiritual vein, and it's only been two hours since we came back to tell you about it. How did she know about it so quickly?"

The tenth elder murmured, "Do you think the young master is proficient in divination to know so much?"

The Third Elder thought that the Tenth Elder's guess was possible: "I think the Tenth Elder is right, and the Young Master's divination skills have reached the level of perfection, so he knows so many things."

"But..." The Seventh Elder frowned even more tightly: "Disclosing the opportunity will shorten your lifespan. If the situation is serious, it will also greatly damage your cultivation."

The Ninth Elder rolled his eyes again: "Strictly speaking, the young master is not revealing the secrets of heaven, but revealing her inner thoughts, which will not cause any impact on her. Besides, she only revealed other people's privacy from beginning to end, so it is impossible for her to be punished by heaven."

The Seventh Elder was completely speechless.

[You didn't report to me, do you want to keep it all for yourself? ]

The third elder and the seventh elder: "..."

They have already reported this to the elders in the Elders' Hall, so how could they keep it all for themselves?

[The crime of swallowing up the spiritual veins is serious. I have to think of how to punish them first. Should I break their legs? Uh, that seems too light. This is the world of cultivation. Broken legs can be reattached at any time. Um... it will injure their internal organs. Uh, it's still too light. They can heal their injuries by taking a pill. Oh, it's so hard to think of a punishment. ]

[Why not just break their Dantian? If they lose their cultivation, they won’t dare to steal their spiritual veins.]

The Third Elder and the Seventh Elder: “……!!”

How can this be?

At this time, the chief guardian of the Elder Hall rushed in and said, "First Elder, Second Elder, this is bad. Everyone in Gongbo's family is saying that the Third Elder and the Seventh Elder have swallowed up the spiritual vein for themselves."

The third and seventh elders were ashamed: "How could such a ridiculous thing be spread? Did the young master spread it?"

The Great Protector said, "No. Everyone has heard the young master's voice."

Elders: “…”

"Gong Boqin, Gong Bozheng..."

A strong and angry voice sounded in the Elder Hall.

When the elders heard the voice of the Grand Elder, they quickly stood up and saluted: "Greetings, Grand Elder."

In order to avoid the thunder tribulation of ascension, the Grand Elder has been hiding in the secret realm of Gongbo family. There are six other grand elders hiding with him. The reason why they did not ascend is because they are not sure, and secondly, Gongbo family needs support. As long as they are still there, Gongbo family will always be the strongest family.

They will consider whether to ascend to heaven only when the younger generations of Gongbo family can replace them and become the supporters of Gongbo family.

Recently, Gongbo Jingfei has been considering whether to ascend to heaven or hide in the secret realm. After all, the ascension thunder tribulation is coming. It can take three hundred years at the shortest and five hundred years at the longest. It seems like a long time, but for a cultivator, it is just a matter of a snap of the fingers.

Then, a golden light descended upon the Elders' Hall, and a voice in the golden light angrily said, "Gong Boqin, Gong Bozheng, the Gongbo family has treated you well, how dare you, as elders, embezzle the spiritual veins?"

"We don't."

The third and seventh elders felt that they had died unjustly.

"If not, why don't you report this to the young master?"

The third elder hesitated and said, "That's because..."

He couldn't tell the supreme elders that they accepted Mu Nanjin on the surface but were actually very opposed to her in their hearts. After all, they had been optimistic about Gong Boyu from the beginning and had spent a lot of effort in private to cultivate him and wanted him to become the head of the family. Now suddenly Mu Nanjin became the first heir, of course they couldn't accept it.

Seeing that he was somewhat guilty, the Grand Elder immediately released his coercive power: "Do you think that just because our Grand Elder hides in a secret realm and doesn't care about worldly affairs, you can act recklessly? Humph, you are really getting bolder and bolder."

Suddenly, the third elder and the seventh elder felt a powerful force on them, and with a thud, they both fell to their knees.

"too……"

The two men's bones were creaking and crackling, and they were in so much pain that they couldn't even speak.

The fifth elder said quickly, "Grand Elder, you misunderstood. The third elder and his men told us about the spirit vein when they came back, and they didn't embezzle it."

The Grand Elder had no intention of letting them off: "Since you didn't embezzle the money, why didn't you report it to the young master? And why are you so hesitant to speak?"

"That's because we haven't investigated it thoroughly yet, so we dare not report it casually. We will tell the young master after we find out the truth."

The Grand Elder put away his questioning pressure and asked, "Is that really the case?"

The third elder said quickly: "Yes, we have sent people to investigate and will report to the young master immediately if there is any news."

The Grand Elder snorted coldly and left the Elders' Hall.

The third and seventh elders breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, they told the other elders about the spiritual vein early in the morning, otherwise they would not be able to explain themselves today and might even be punished by the Grand Elder.

The Ninth Elder said to them, "The matter cannot be hidden from the Young Master anyway, so next time if there is something, report it to the Young Master first."

The tenth elder agreed: "The great elders are obviously on the side of the young master, so everyone should not have any other thoughts."

The third and seventh elders wiped the sweat off their foreheads and said, "Let's go see the young master now."

Immediately afterwards, Mu Nanjin’s voice sounded again.

[Huh?]

Everyone's mood was lifted again.

[How did the Bei family know that the Gongbo family had discovered the spiritual vein? They even planned to take advantage of the Gongbo family. ]

[Tsk tsk, the spiritual vein is right on Gongbo's territory, and you dare to attack it? Are you trying to light a lamp in the toilet - to seek shit (death)? ]

"What!? Are the Bei family's people planning to take over the spiritual vein?"

"How did the Bei family know about the spiritual vein? Who leaked this information?"

Little did they know that the Bei family living in Gongbo's house also heard Mu Nanjin's thoughts.

However, just as Bei Henggen was about to send someone to secretly search for the spiritual vein, Mu Nanjin discovered his thoughts. This was too scary.

The Bei Family's Great Elder looked solemn: "It is not advisable to stay here for long."

The people of Gongbo's family know that the Bei family is also planning to seize the spiritual vein and will definitely find an excuse to keep them. It is better for them to leave Gongbo's family as soon as possible.

Bei Henggen frowned: "But the matter of marriage..."

"Anyway, Gongbo Jingfei is not at Gongbo's house, so we can talk about this later..."

Bei Henggen nodded and took the Bei family members to say goodbye to Mu Jingling.

Mu Jingling couldn't wait for them to leave, so she immediately sent someone to escort them away from Gongbo's house.

[Why did the Bei family suddenly leave? And they left in such a hurry. ]

[It’s better for them to leave. I won’t have to entertain them anymore.]

Gu Ming frowned slightly: "You..."

Just as he said a word, a servant from Mu Nanjin Courtyard came to report: "Young Master, the Third Elder and the Seventh Elder want to report an urgent matter."

Mu Nanjin was still sitting lazily in the rocking chair: "Let them in."

She turned to look at Gu Ming: "What did you just want to say?"

Gu Ming shook his head, stood up and left the yard where she lived.

On the way back to his yard he heard Guangliu's excited voice: "The voice of the heart, it is definitely the voice of Miss Mu."

Jiang Xuan was puzzled: "Voice of the heart? What voice of the heart? Can you explain it more clearly?"

"that is……"

Guangliu lowered his voice to explain to them, but no matter how quietly he spoke, he could not escape the sensitive ears of Gu Ming: "The voice of the heart is what is in your heart..."

Guangliu briefly reiterated Mu Nanjin's thoughts.

Gu Ming walked into Guang Liu's yard and asked, "How do you know that we can hear Mu Nanjin's thoughts?"

When Guangliu saw him, he shrank his head in fear and said, "Greetings, Governor."

Gu Ming said coldly: "Answer my question."

"I used to be the bodyguard of the Minister of Revenue..."

Guangliu told her what the Minister of Revenue had told him about the civil and military officials being able to hear Mu Nanjin's thoughts: "I have tried many times to find opportunities to tell her that someone could hear Miss Mu's thoughts, but I just couldn't open my mouth. Miss Mu said that I couldn't say it because of the restrictions of the laws of heaven and earth. I didn't understand what she meant at first, but I understood it after being with you. But I never thought that one day I would be able to hear Miss Mu's words."

Jia Yin asked: "Guang Liu, you just said that the officials of Daqian Kingdom can hear Mu Nanjin's thoughts? Does the Imperial Master also hear it?"

Guang Liu nodded: "Yes, the Imperial Master is in a high position and has great power, so he will definitely hear it."

Jia Yin: “…”

It turned out that his senior brother had been able to hear Mu Nanjin's inner thoughts a long time ago.

Lu Feichen was puzzled: "I am also an official of Daqian Kingdom, why can't I hear it?"

Guangliu asked him, "Are you a sixth-rank official? Do you have an official seal?"

"No, I haven't."

"Then I can't hear it."

Lu Feichen: "..."

Jia Yin looked at Gu Ming and asked, "The governor could hear it all along?"

Gu Ming nodded: "According to my guess, the current situation is that everyone in the entire cultivation world may be able to hear her inner voice, or only people with a high realm or people who are close to her can hear her inner thoughts."

Guang Liu asked anxiously, "Sir Governor, do you have a way to remind Miss Mu that everyone can hear her inner voice?"

Gu Ming said nothing.

Jiang Xuan said: "If she is really restricted by the laws of heaven and earth, then it means that you can't tell her no matter what method you use."

"What should we do? Are we just going to let everyone eavesdrop on Miss Mu's inner thoughts?"

Jiang Xuan sighed: "Just wait and see what happens. Of course, if you have a way to circumvent the laws of heaven and earth, you can try it."

Jia Yin was speechless: "There probably aren't many people who can do this."

Gu Ming verified his guess and returned to Mu Nanjin's yard again.

The Third Elder and the Seventh Elder had just finished reporting their affairs, and when they saw Gu Ming coming in, they took their leave.

Mu Nanjin raised his eyebrows: "Why are you back again?"

"Mu Nanjin, do you know that others can hear..."

Gu Ming was unable to utter any further words.

He knew that he, like Guangliu, could not tell Mu Nanjin about this.

Seeing that he hadn't said the rest of the sentence yet, Mu Nanjin's eyes flashed with confusion: "What can others hear?"

Unable to speak directly, Gu Ming tried to tell her in other ways: "You can hear some sounds, but you can't."

He didn't tell Mu Nanjin about his inner thoughts before because he thought they would be useful to him. But now that she and he are on the same side, it is necessary to let her know about this.

Mu Nanjin: “…”

[Others can hear it? But I can't? ]

[Is this a brain teaser for me? ]

【What is it that others can hear but I can’t? 】

[Does it mean snoring? ]

[It must be.]

[The governor must be embarrassed to say that I snore, so he hinted at me. 】

[Oh my god, I actually snore? ]

[No, the governor doesn't sleep with me, how does he know that I snore? ]

[Isn't he spying on me in the middle of the night? ]

[The governor actually has this hobby!? ]

Mu Nanjin asked: "Do you mean snoring?"

Gu Ming: “…”

He didn't want to talk to her anymore.

Let everyone hear her voice.

Maybe it’s a good thing for everyone to hear it.

Gu Ming turned and left.

Mu Nanjin was sweating profusely.

[Why did he leave again? Did I guess wrong? ]

【Alas, men are so fickle. 】

Gu Ming returned to Guang Liu's yard and said, "Guang Liu, go and try again to see if you can tell it."

Guang Liu looked at Jiang Xuan.

Jiang Xuan said to Jia Yin and the others, "Let's go and try it together."

Jia Yin and the others nodded.

However, after they arrived at Mu Nanjin's yard, they couldn't even make a sound, let alone speak. (End of this chapter)
