"Hmph, although Mu Ruian is the head of the Mu family in Black Stone City, the Mu family is more than just the Mu family in Black Stone City. He can't think of covering up everything with one hand. Everything must be done fairly." The elder pondered for a moment and then continued.
"Grandfather, are you talking about the Mu family in the capital?" Mu Feng asked excitedly.
The Mu family in the capital is where the Mu family's ancestral home is located.
The Mu family has a long history, but even many of the descendants of the Mu family themselves do not know how many years it has been passed down. They only know that their Mu family is one of the oldest families in Anyun Country. It is estimated that the history is at least tens of thousands of years.
Over the years, the descendants of the Mu family have spread across the Holy Court Continent. Some have declined and lost their inheritance, while others have established branch families. As far as Mu Feng knows, there are six branches of the Mu family like Black Stone City, four of which are located in Anyun and the other two are abroad.
Regardless of their strength, these branch families all respected the main family in the capital and were subject to the main family's control. Mu Ruian's appointment as the head of the Mu family in Blackstone City was a direct order from the main family, and the three elders had no room for objection. This was understandable. In terms of financial strength, power, and status, these branch families were far inferior to the main family and had no right to engage in equal dialogue.
For the descendants of the Mu family in each branch family, the status of the main family is naturally extremely respected. Just like a bumpkin from a poor mountain village looking at a wealthy relative in the capital, it is simply an existence that is looked up to by a mountain.
"Grandfather, are you going to the capital?" Mu Feng said excitedly.
The Mu family in the capital was such a huge family. It was said that top swordsmen at the great swordsman level were very common, and there were even quite a few sword masters. He had been fascinated by them for a long time, but compared with others, he, a so-called genius of a fifth-level swordsman, was not even a waste, and there was no chance for him to reach higher levels.
"Yes, although Mu Ruian was appointed by the main family in the capital, he can't think of riding on our heads and acting tyrannically without any reason. The main family did not send him to Black Stone City to bring down this branch of the Mu family. Besides, I have a say in the main family too. This time, I want to see how Mu Ruian will explain to us and the main family?" said the elder.
Hearing his grandfather's confident words, Mu Feng looked at him with eyes full of admiration and pride.
"Okay, I'll be leaving for the capital in a few days. You should rest and recuperate, and don't worry about other things. Also, it's just a defeat in a battle, don't take it too seriously. When I go to the capital this time, if I have the chance, I will find a famous teacher for you in the master's house. You will surely soar to the sky in the future, and it will be a piece of cake to avenge your previous defeat." said the great elder.
"Yes, yes, grandson... Grandson will rest and recuperate, and wait for grandfather... Your Excellency's good news." Upon hearing that his grandfather actually had a say in the main family and had the face to find a master teacher for him, Mu Feng admired him even more. He was so excited that his whole body was shaking and he began to stutter when he spoke.
He knew that Mu Ruian was in for a rough patch this time, and might even be removed from his position as patriarch. Without his secret support, how could Mu Hanyan ever rise to prominence? A mere sixth-rank swordsman, once he became a disciple of the master of the main family, it was only a matter of time before he was dealt with.
The more Mu Feng thought about it, the more excited he became, and even the pain from his wound felt much less severe.
Mu Hanyan, of course, had no idea of the Great Elder and his grandson's wishful thinking at this time. She slept soundly that night.
