Mu Fanyin blushed at her clansmen's words and hurriedly explained, "Don't talk nonsense. His name is Ye Qiu. He is a guest we invited, not my sweetheart."
"So, Sister Fanyin doesn't like him anymore?"
A mischievous boy asked.
"This..." Mu Fanyin was even more embarrassed and annoyed: "I like Brother Ye, but not in that way. If you keep talking nonsense, I'll kill you."
"Oh my, look! Sister Fanyin is blushing! She's actually getting shy! Haha, looks like there's potential!"
The boy laughed in astonishment and teased him.
"You little bastard, you're asking for it."
Mu Fanyin was utterly enraged and was about to make a move.
"Forget it, don't take it to heart with your younger brother, he's just being immature."
Mu Tong stopped Mu Fanyin.
Mu Fanyin puffed out her cheeks and clenched her fists in anger.
"Brother Ye, the young men in our clan are ignorant, please don't take offense." Mu Tong cupped his hands in greeting.
"It's alright," Ye Qiu replied with a smile. "Take me to meet your elders."
"Alright, Brother Ye, this way please."
Mu Tong gestured for Ye Qiu to enter, showing extreme respect and not daring to be disrespectful.
The three quickly entered the main hall and instructed the servants to invite the elders over.
Before long, the Mu family's top executives gathered together.
When they saw that the guest they were to meet was a young man of similar age to Mu Tong and his sister, many of the elders in the Mu family unconsciously frowned.
"Fanyin, Mutong, you made us come all this way just to see him?"
A middle-aged man with a mustache spoke with a displeased expression.
"Second Uncle, this is Ye Qiu, a peerless expert who is just one step away from entering the God King Realm. He is willing to help us deal with the Immortal Sword Sect."
Mu Tong stood up and said seriously.
"Him? A True God Realm cultivator?"
"Haha, Xiao Tong, you must be joking."
"Nowadays, even among the older generation of experts, very few can become gods, let alone achieve the position of God King, unless they are imperial princes. Mu Tong, I think you've lost your mind."
"If he were a true god, I would have eaten my sword on the spot."
"It's utterly ridiculous. It turned out to be a boring farce and a waste of time."
Almost none of the elders believed it.
An elderly man with white hair, sitting in the middle, also had a furrowed brow: "Mu Tong, Grandpa knows you are doing this for the good of the family and want to find someone to help the family."
However, you can't act recklessly and waste everyone's time like this.
Since this Brother Ye is your friend, please treat him well; nothing else matters.
"Grandpa, Brother Ye really is..."
"Mu Tong, let it go." Ye Qiu waved his hand, signaling Mu Tong not to explain anymore.
Then, Ye Qiu stood up and said calmly with a smile, "I'm sorry to have wasted everyone's time. Please go back and get back to your work. I will be staying at your residence for the next few days. If you need any help, I will definitely lend a hand."
You should worry more about yourself.
"Kid, don't overestimate yourself. It's important to know your own limitations."
The elders left one after another, none of them taking Ye Qiu seriously.
Before leaving, the old master of the Mu family smiled kindly at Ye Qiu and said, "Young man, you have an extraordinary demeanor and a bit of the air of a young immortal, but I really can't believe that you are a god."
"But none of that matters. You are a guest, so please feel free to ask for anything you need at our residence. The Mu family will do its best to accommodate you."
After saying that, the old man left.
Ye Qiu smiled and didn't take the others' disdain to heart.
Furthermore, the old master of the Mu family had already shown a very good attitude, and Ye Qiu couldn't find any fault with him.
"Brother Ye, I'm sorry, I've made you suffer."
Mu Fanyin apologized cautiously, afraid that Ye Qiu would leave in anger.
"Brother Ye, I will definitely find an opportunity to explain this to everyone," Mu Tong also said.
"There's no need for such trouble," Ye Qiu said. "I came to the Mu family only to help you deal with the Immortal Sword Sect. Whether the Mu family recognizes me or not is irrelevant, and you don't need to explain anything to me."
"I will stay here. If the Immortal Sword Sect attacks and the Mu family cannot withstand it, I will intervene."
These words undoubtedly reassured the brother and sister.
Next, Ye Qiu stayed temporarily at the Mu residence.
Time passed day by day, and seven days went by in the blink of an eye.
In these seven days, Ye Qiu has become well-known to many people in the Mu family.
Many young people, after getting a little closer to Ye Qiu, really liked his personality.
However, the elders of the Mu family always looked down on Ye Qiu.
Elder Mu Zhen, in particular, couldn't wait for Ye Qiu to leave. Every time he encountered Ye Qiu, he would speak to him with extreme sarcasm and bitterness.
Ye Qiu didn't bother with him. For some reason, after entering the Divine Realm, Ye Qiu found that he was no longer as easily angered or prone to violence as before.
His state of mind has changed significantly.
...
Time passed, and on the tenth day, bad news finally reached the Mu family.
On this day, a member of the Mu clan reported that many of the Mu family's shops in the city had been vandalized or deliberately sabotaged, disrupting the Mu family's various businesses.
After investigation, it was discovered that the person behind all of this was the Immortal Sword Sect.
The Immortal Sword Sect finally couldn't resist making a move, attempting to seize the Mu family's possessions.
The Mu family was not a lamb to be slaughtered; they immediately launched a counterattack, resulting in constant conflicts with the Immortal Sword Sect and the deaths of several people.
Several members of the Immortal Sword Sect were also killed. The two major forces are now locked in a fierce struggle, and a major conflict could erupt at any moment.
"The Immortal Sword Sect is bullying my Mu family like this! This is intolerable! We must immediately gather everyone and take strict precautions. Anyone from the Immortal Sword Sect who dares to cause trouble shall be killed without exception."
