"Let me tell you!" Seeing Dongfang Mian's hesitant expression, Mu Bai quickly said, "It's like this, my mother and Sister Mian, oh no, and my master..."
After Mu Bai finished speaking, everyone was even more speechless. So this Dongfang girl healed the head of the family's wife not long after she went in, and the reason she took so long to come out was because she was arguing about becoming a disciple.
"Now that Madam has become a disciple of Master, we must hold a grand ceremony." The head of the Mu family was not one to follow the old ways. Moreover, Dongfang Mian not only possessed superb medical and poison skills, but also had a nearly invincible divine beast like Aju. It wouldn't be bad for her to be the master of the couple.
The elders were filled with envy. The matriarch's wife had good judgment. If they had known better, they could have become her senior brother.
Dongfang Mian waved his hand and said, "In these special times, let's keep a low profile. If none of you have any objections, let's discuss how to deal with the Shi family first."
"Dealing with the Shi family? Great! I've had my eye on that old devil of the Shi family for a long time. I'm going to open the secret council hall now. Elders, come and help me. Husband, lead the way for Master. Little Bai, take good care of your grandmaster." After quickly assigning tasks to everyone, the matriarch skipped and jumped towards the secret council hall.
Seeing the lady of the house so lively and energetic, everyone couldn't help but marvel at Dongfang Mian's medical skills. What kind of doctor must she be? They had never seen a patient who was almost terminally ill look so energetic after being cured, as if she could demolish two houses.
Soon, everyone was seated in the Mu family's secret council hall, and the matter of the Shi family's ancestral worship was also put on the table.
The head of the Mu family spoke up, "I wonder how much Master knows about the Shi family's ancestral worship?"
"I only heard from the head of the Shi family that five kinds of poisons are needed as a catalyst to exchange the baby's heart's blood for the ancestor's blessing during the ancestral worship. I don't know anything else," Dongfang Mian said truthfully.
Mu Bai told his mother about the baby on the way. When the matriarch heard that a child even younger than her own Xiao Bai was going to be used as a sacrifice, she was so angry that she smashed two houses she was passing by, which made the Mu family members think that there was an enemy attack.
“In that case, I will first tell Master what we know,” said the head of the Mu family.
Although Dongfang Mian found it difficult to hear him constantly address her as "Master," the Mu family head strictly followed the instructions of his wife, and no matter how Dongfang Mian tried to persuade him, he remained steadfast in calling her "Master."
Seeing Dongfang Mian nod, the head of the Mu family said, "Master also knows that our Mu family and the Shi family have been at odds for thousands of years. So, in order to know ourselves and our enemy, we have specially collected information about the Shi family's ancestral worship."
"The Shi family's ancestral worship ceremony will be held at the Shi family's ancestral land. The Shi family's ancestral land is similar to our Mu family's. In addition to holding important ceremonies, it is also a quiet place for the sealed ancestors to rest. As far as we know, the Shi family has about five ancestors who are emperors or above, just like our Mu family. If the Shi family lifts the seal on these ancestors, our Mu family's ancestors can also deal with them."
"The only uncertainty now is which ancestor's millennium of protection they will exchange for the young master's heart's blood," said the head of the Mu family. He couldn't understand how any ancestor's millennium of protection could compare to that of a future legendary poison master.
"Husband, do you still remember the one buried in the Shi family's ancestral tomb?" After a moment of silence, the matriarch spoke.
