When the shopkeeper saw the token, he hurried to inform Master Wei. When Master Wei learned that someone from the headquarters had arrived, he quickly ran out from the backyard. When he recognized one of the men, he quickly stepped forward and saluted: "Greetings, Great Elder."
The elder said to him, "Let's go to the backyard and talk."
"Yes, please follow me, Great Elder." Master Wei invited them into the backyard.
When the great elders entered the courtyard and saw that the person sweeping the floor was Ying Lu, they were stunned: "Master Ying."
When Ying Lu saw that it was the Great Elder and the Palace Master who came, he excitedly threw away his broom and knelt on the ground: "Palace Master, Great Elder, you have to make the decision for your subordinates."
"Palace Master?"
Master Wei looked at the gentleman standing in front of the Great Elder. He was about thirty years old, with a gentle expression and a smile on his lips. He didn't look like the leader of the assassins at all.
The hall master did not look at Ying Lu, but asked, "Who from our Red Blood Hall went to participate in the martial arts competition?"
Without waiting for Master Wei to answer, Ying Lu immediately replied, "Yes."
The hall master narrowed his eyes: "Who?"
"It's those four damn brats."
The hall master and the great elder were slightly stunned: "Four damn brats? Are they the four kids mentioned in the letter who will replace your position as hall master? They also participated in the martial arts competition? Did they get a ranking?"
"You'll have to ask him about that." Ying Lu snorted at Master Wei.
"To reply to the Palace Master and the Great Elder, the four children were just joking. How could they possibly get a ranking?" Master Wei felt angry and amused when he thought about this.
The great elder asked, "Where are they?"
"They are in the house with their mother."
"Mother?" The Great Elder was stunned: "Did they find their parents?"
Master Wei told the truth: "They were deliberately abducted by Wen Niang, so they always knew where their parents were, but they didn't go to look for them because they were too playful."
The Great Elder frowned and said, "Besides the four children, who else from the Red Blood Hall participated in the competition and won the position of leader of the martial arts world?"
"Someone from the Red Blood Hall has obtained the position of leader of the martial arts world?" Wei Ye was surprised, "How could our Red Blood Hall have such a powerful person? Who is it?"
The Great Elder said angrily, "If I knew who it was, would I still ask you? What's even more infuriating is that the new leader actually said that he is the master of the Red Blood Hall, and used the name of the master to promise everyone that he would not accept assassination missions in the future."
"When did this happen? Why haven't I heard about it?"
"Just now when we entered the Five Cities, we happened to see the new leader announcing his identity." The elder became more and more angry as he spoke: "We don't even know who the other party is, yet he dares to pretend to be the Palace Master."
Lord Wei said, "I will send someone to investigate this matter now."
At this time, Bai Ze came out: "Palace Master, my mother wants to see you."
The Palace Master was very interested in the mother mentioned by the little boy. A woman who could teach four children with extraordinary martial arts and dared to sit in the branch of the Red Blood Palace must not be an ordinary woman.
"I just happen to want to meet her, too."
He curled his lips and smiled, and walked into the room where Ying Lu used to live with the elder. They saw more than four children in the room. Bai Ze and Xuan Wu were sitting obediently on the chairs, while Bai Hu was standing on the armrest, holding Mu Nanjin's head and kissing her non-stop: "Mom, I miss you so much."
Taotie sat on Mu Nanjin's lap and ate cakes. Hun Dun stood on the other side of the armrest and said proudly, "Mother, my cultivation has improved recently. White Tiger will no longer be my opponent in the future."
Baihu let go of Mu Nanjin's head and snorted, "I have also improved my cultivation. You will never be able to beat me."
Mu Nanjin expressionlessly took out a piece of silk to wipe the saliva off her face, and made a gesture of invitation to the hall master: "Sit down."
Palace Master: “…”
This little girl is actually the mother of four children?
You are too young.
Anyway, the Red Blood Hall branch was his, so how could the other party become the host? The elder said in a deep voice: "Little girl, even if you are the mother of our branch master, you can't be so presumptuous."
Mu Nanjin frowned: "It would be impolite of me to ask you to sit down, so you can just stand."
Palace Master, Great Elder: "..."
"Cooperation?" The Palace Master raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Miss, oh, no, Madam, do you know what our Red Blood Palace does?"
"The cash register murder."
"In that case, how can we cooperate? Or do you want us to kill someone?"
"I'm not killing people because I hope you can change your career and stop being a killer from now on."
"Change career?" This reminded the hall master of what happened at the city gate. He narrowed his eyes and asked, "What is your relationship with the new leader?"
The Great Elder glared angrily: "She is the new leader's person?"
"You don't need to know this, but I can guarantee that you will be able to earn a lot more money than you do now. It all depends on whether you are willing to cooperate with us."
The Palace Master asked: "What if we say we don't want to?"
Mu Nanjin said calmly: "From now on, there will be no more Red Blood Palace."
Master Wei: “…”
"You are so arrogant." The Great Elder angrily slammed the door next to him and said, "Aren't you afraid that you will never be able to walk out of this door?"
Without waiting for Mu Nanjin to speak, Hun Dun roared at the Great Elder, and the powerful sound waves pushed the three people standing at the door back several steps.
"You dare to threaten our mother?"
“…”
Although the Palace Master and the Great Elder knew from the letter sent by Master Wei that the four children were very skilled in martial arts, they still couldn't suppress their inner shock.
The child in front of them was only two or three years old at most, but he forced them back with just a roar. His strength was terrifying. If they were allowed to grow, within five years, even the leader of the martial arts world would be defeated by them.
Mu Nanjin patted Hun Dun's back and said, "Don't be angry."
Hun Dun's red eyes gradually returned to their normal color, and he said aggrievedly: "They bullied my mother."
Palace Master, Great Elder: "..."
How could it be bullying when they just said a threat? Mu Nanjin stood up and said, "Think about it carefully. When you have thought it over, you can come to the Duwei Mansion to find me."
"Duwei Mansion?" Master Wei was stunned. "You live in Duwei Mansion? Isn't this the government's territory?"
Baihu said proudly: "My mother is a female official."
Palace Master, Great Elder, Master Wei: "..."
In other words, their mother has the support of the imperial court.
After Mu Nanjin left, Master Wei turned to Baihu and the others and asked, "Why don't you leave with your mother?"
Baihu asked him back: "There is food, drink and fun here, why do you want to leave?"
Master Wei was ashamed.
The Great Elder snorted coldly: "We in the Red Blood Palace cannot afford to support your five great Buddhas."
Bai Hu replied: "Then let our mother raise you, the Red Blood Palace."
The Great Elder was furious.
"Our mother is very powerful. You will definitely not lose out if you follow her."
The Great Elder said unhappily: "Your mother said it was a cooperation, but she didn't say that we should be her people."
Baihu tilted his little head and looked at him, thinking hard: "Is there a difference?"
Bai Ze said calmly: "No."
