"Wait, the Mu Mansion is so big, why don't they search elsewhere, but come here specifically, and even gather all the clan members here. Does the Third Elder have a grudge against me?" Mu Hanyan stretched out her hand to block those people and said bluntly.
Things have come to this point, there is no need to hide anything. Tearing off the relationship will only benefit Mu Hanyan and not harm her.
"The token is hidden in your house. Where else can you search if not here?" said the third elder with a sneer.
"Oh, how did the Third Elder know that the token was in my house? Did you put it there?" Mu Hanyan said lightly.
Uh... the third elder was choked again by Mu Hanyan.
"Since we are here, we must be confident. I have used the technique of Blood Soul Contract to find the whereabouts of the token." The Supreme Elder finally came to his senses and took over the conversation for the Third Elder.
To be honest, he didn't want to respond to this conversation. Mu Hanyan's mouth was too hateful and scary. He was old and his brain was not as quick as that of young people. He could not gain any advantage by arguing with him.
But seeing that the Third Elder was choked speechless by Mu Hanyan again, if he didn't take over the conversation, he didn't know what the other Mu family members would think.
In fact, as soon as Mu Hanyan said that, many people began to look thoughtful.
There is no need to explain the importance of the order from the Supreme Elder. How could the Third Elder be so careless? Even if Mu Hanyan wanted to steal it, it would not be so easy to steal it. There is a possibility of framing her.
"Blood Soul Contract!" Mu Hanyan's face was filled with shock. "I heard this is a forbidden technique that will shorten your life."
"Uh..." The Supreme Elder suddenly didn't know what to say. It was no secret that the oath of soul contract would shorten one's lifespan. Most swordsmen knew it. Saying it would shorten one's lifespan also meant the same thing, but why did it sound so wrong?
"Grand Elder, did you really perform the Blood Soul Contract? I see you're in good spirits, with a rosy complexion, looking better than me. Are you kidding?" Mu Hanyan looked at the Grand Elder suspiciously.
The Supreme Elder felt like vomiting blood again. His face was indeed flushed, but that was not because he was in a good mood. It was because he was angry with Mu Hanyan.
"Mu Hanyan, do you suspect that I am framing you?" The Supreme Elder finally lost his patience.
As the supreme elder of the clan, he was actually questioned by a junior in this way. If this got out, wouldn't everyone laugh at him?
Mu Beichen frowned and secretly gave Mu Hanyan a look, the meaning of which was clear: after all, he is the Supreme Elder, so just stop when it is enough and don't hurt others' reputation too much.
Unfortunately, Mu Hanyan seemed to have not noticed. If she had not come up with a plan and had some quick wit, who knows what would have happened today.
Since the other party was so ruthless, how could she be polite to them?
Although even though she had lived two lives, her experience might not be comparable to that of her grandfather who had experienced many ups and downs in life, but there was one thing that her grandfather could not compare to her. She had experienced death once, but her grandfather had not. So at certain times, she was more resolute and ruthless than Mu Beichen.
Since she has decided to offend the Supreme Elder and the Third Elder, Mu Hanyan will definitely not hold back at all.
"Of course I don't dare to question the Supreme Elder, but there are many people in this world who only know the surface of a person but not his heart. It is not uncommon to find people who appear righteous but have sinister intentions. You can't blame me for thinking too much." Mu Hanyan said sarcastically.
Everyone looked towards the Supreme Elder and the Third Elder. Although the token hadn't been found yet, even if it was, it would likely be a frame-up. However, judging by the two elders' previous attitude, they wouldn't even give Mu Hanyan a chance to explain herself. What else could that be but sinister intentions?
The Grand Elder also blushed slightly, knowing that Mu Hanyan was making a veiled accusation.
"Grand Elder, there is no need to argue with him. As long as we find the token, we will see what he has to say." When the Third Elder saw the expressions of the people around him, he knew that the clan members were already somewhat disdainful of his intentions. Only by finding the Grand Elder's token quickly could he save face.
"Yes, First Elder, Second Elder, and a few other priests, search for me." The Supreme Elder also knew that the situation was not good. He was too lazy to pay attention to Mu Hanyan and directly gave orders to the two elders.
Mu Hanyan did not try to stop them and let the two elders, several priests and a group of guards rush into the house with a hint of sneer on her face.
No one noticed that the seemingly ordinary jade pendant on her heart was emitting a more mysterious aura than before.
Until now, Mu Hanyan still hasn't figured out what's going on, but she is sure that no one can find the whereabouts of the Supreme Elder's Order.
…
There was a sound of rummaging through drawers in the house, but there was dead silence outside. The clan members looked at the first elder and the third elder, then at Mu Beichen and Mu Hanyan, and they all had an intuition in their hearts that no matter what the outcome of today's events would be, the confrontation between the first elder and the third elder that had lasted for many years should have come to an end.
Half an hour, one hour, two hours... until dawn, the Great Elder and others still did not respond.
The Third Elder's expression gradually darkened, and the Supreme Elder's expression also became increasingly unsightly.
"Could there be something wrong with my Blood Soul Sacrifice technique? It doesn't make sense." Seeing the different expressions on the faces of the clan members around him, the Supreme Elder suddenly felt a strong sense of unease.
"Grand Elder, have you found it?" Finally, the Grand Elder and others came out one after another, and the Third Elder couldn't wait to greet them.
The Great Elder shook his head, looking somewhat embarrassed.
Mu Hanyan's house was not big, and it should have taken a quarter of an hour to get the result. However, they spent more than two hours and wanted to dig up the three corpses in the ground, but still could not find the order of the Supreme Elder.
"Didn't find it?" The Third Elder certainly knew what he meant by shaking his head, but he still asked unwillingly.
"No, we have searched everywhere we can, without missing a single inch of space. We have searched over and over again for hundreds of times, but there is nothing." said the third elder.
As he spoke, he glanced at Mu Hanyan and the others and shook his head. Although the Supreme Elder's Order was only half the length of an ordinary longsword, it was several times wider. It was impossible to hide it on the body.
The Mu family members around him remained silent, watching the Third Elder as if they were watching a good show.
"Impossible!" At this moment, Mu Chengyang's exclamation broke the silence.
Everyone looked at Mu Chengyang, some of them showed doubts, while some of them changed their expressions. Some of the people present were not shallow in knowledge and experience, and they heard something different from this sentence alone.
(Happy New Year to everyone! Today is New Year's Eve, how are you planning to spend it? In Sichuan, the sound of mahjong is everywhere, and friends and family get together to play mahjong. I hope everyone has a happy New Year, and students will get a lot of red envelopes. I wish you all the best in the coming year, great fortune, and academic progress!
