"We have known each other for many years. If you have anything to say, please feel free to tell me, Third Elder." Qu Shanling said.
"This is what's going on. My branch of the Mu family has a large population of six children, five sons and one daughter. I would like to ask Master Qu to help see who among these five sons and one daughter will have a better future." said the third elder.
Qu Shanling understood immediately. While the Mu family of Blackrock City was wealthy and powerful, the Third Elder was only one branch of the family, and their financial resources were limited. The Mu family was a family of cultivators, and their success depended on their cultivation, which required various resources.
If resources are distributed equally to everyone, the family fortune will be exhausted sooner or later, and it will be difficult to take care of all six people. If the best can be selected, there is hope of cultivating the most outstanding heir.
Of course, the best people get most of the resources, and the others are destined to have no chance to succeed.
Survival of the fittest is the law of nature, this is not only the law of nature, but also the law of aristocratic families. It is precisely because of this almost cruel law that the major aristocratic families in the Holy Court Continent have been able to pass on for thousands of years.
"Okay, tell them to come over and let me take a look," Master Qu said readily. He felt a surge of regret in his heart. It was a shame he hadn't known the Third Elder would make such a request. Otherwise, he could have approached those younger generations first, offered them some advice, and perhaps even made some money. Now it was too late to say anything, and he felt embarrassed to refuse.
"Thank you, Master Qu." The Third Elder was overjoyed and said to a servant, "Call the young masters and young ladies over."
Soon, several young people filed in. They knew that Grandpa was entertaining an distinguished guest today, and heard that the guest was some extraordinary hermit master. They looked a little nervous, but also had some inexplicable anticipation.
"This is the senior master, Master Qu, whom I mentioned to you. His astrology skills are superb. It was thanks to the advice of Master Qu and his master that I was able to escape disasters time and time again. Otherwise, I would have died in the Longyan Mountains long ago." The third elder introduced.
"Greetings, Master Qu, greetings, Master Qu..." Several younger generations stood in awe and bowed respectfully to Qu Shanling.
"Thank you Master Qu for saving our ancestor's life. I, Mu Huaidong, am grateful." The young man in the lead continued.
The young man's name was Mu Huaidong, the grandson of the Third Elder, and he was eighteen years old. He had good aptitude for cultivation, was intelligent, and good-looking. Furthermore, as the eldest son, he was usually a bit arrogant.
However, when he stood in front of Qu Shanling, although he was arrogant, he was neither humble nor overbearing, and showed a bit of grace, with the calmness and dignity of a young man from a noble family, proud but not arrogant.
"No need to be polite, no need to be polite. Let's not dwell on the past." Qu Shanling found Qu Donghuai very appealing and thought to himself: If nothing unexpected happens, he will inherit the Third Elder's family business. Of course, anything can happen in this world, and right now, the biggest surprise is himself.
I don't know if this kid knows what's appropriate. If he does, I can help him and make things even better. If he doesn't, then everything will be in vain.
So, this old guy Qu Shanling has never been a good person.
"You should all know the Third Elder's purpose in letting you pass. I am not very talented, but I have earned a little fame through my astrological skills. Today, I will tell your fortunes for you." Qu Shanling cleared his throat and said. While speaking, his eyes were looking at Mu Huaidong.
