Mu Chengyang was shocked and almost slapped himself in the face.
At a time like this, he had no right to speak. However, he had stolen the token himself, and he had seen Mu Zhong hide it in Mu Hanyan's room with his own eyes. The timing was perfect, leaving Mu Hanyan no chance to react. How could he not find it? Puzzled, he subconsciously exclaimed.
Now seeing that everyone was looking at him with different expressions, even the Third Elder was no exception, Mu Chengyang felt a little guilty.
"I mean, when the Supreme Elder performed the Blood Soul Sacrifice, he must have been very confident. How could he not find it? There must be something he missed." Mu Chengyang explained with cold sweat on his back.
"We didn't say anything about you. What are you explaining? Are you guilty?" Mu Hanyan said with a sneer.
She had long guessed that it was Mu Chengyang's doing, and seeing his reaction at this moment, she was even more certain of it.
Mu Hanyan was absolutely right. Mu Chengyang was indeed guilty. After hearing what Mu Hanyan said, he felt his heart pounding and he couldn't remain calm anymore.
Looking at Mu Chengyang's face covered in sweat, everyone seemed to be thinking about something, even the third elder frowned slightly.
"Third Elder, do you want to continue searching? Or should we search more carefully?" Mu Hanyan said jokingly, looking at the Third Elder with a dark face.
"Search!" The third elder was in a difficult situation and said with gritted teeth.
"No need." The Supreme Elder waved his hand. After searching for several hours and finding nothing, what was the point in searching any further?
"Grand Elder..." The third elder looked at the Grand Elder pitifully. He had no time to care about dealing with Mu Hanyan. He was only worried that he couldn't find the token. How would he explain to his clan members?
"Let me do it." The Supreme Elder never believed that the Blood Soul Sacrifice he performed at the cost of his lifespan would go wrong, but he could not think of a reason for such a result. The only way was to perform it again.
"Grand Elder, are you really going to perform the Blood Soul Sacrifice this time? I think you'd better not do it. It will really shorten your life." Mu Hanyan guessed what the Grand Elder was going to do when she saw him make the hand gestures, and kindly dissuaded him.
The Supreme Elder had just made a hand gesture when he felt like vomiting blood because he was so angry at Mu Hanyan.
Short life, short life, can't you put it in a nicer way?
"Grand Elder, I can assure you that even if you perform the Blood Soul Sacrifice a hundred or a thousand times, you will not be able to find the token, so it is better not to waste your life anymore." Mu Hanyan stopped teasing the Grand Elder and said with a serious face.
Although she had no good feelings towards this old man, both his status as the Supreme Elder and his strength were crucial to the Mu family, and Mu Hanyan did not want him to die young.
Moreover, as long as she doesn't go too far, she still has some blood ties with her family.
"How do you know?" the Supreme Elder asked with an idea in mind.
"Has no one told the Supreme Elder that I have learned the art of astrology? I dare not say that I can calculate the heavens and the earth, the universe, life and death, and yin and yang, but some small things can still not stump me. If I say you can't find it, you definitely can't find it." Mu Hanyan pretended to be profound, but said with full confidence.
The First Elder and the Third Elder felt a sinking feeling in their hearts at the same time. Thinking back, Mu Hanyan had been teasing them ever since they stepped into this courtyard. It was obvious that she had nothing to fear and was treating them like monkeys.
Even if he really didn't steal the token, he shouldn't be so calm. Isn't he afraid that someone will frame him?
Why wasn't he nervous, uneasy, or worried at all? The most likely possibility was that the token was indeed in his possession, but he was absolutely certain it wouldn't be found, which was why he was so calm.
The children of the clan are generally not too stupid. Seeing Mu Hanyan so sure, and recalling his previous performance, he also seemed to be thinking about something.
As for the astrology that Mu Hanyan mentioned, they didn't care much about it. It was just a cover.
"Oh, I forgot that Hanyan also has a superb skill in astrology. I heard that even the famous Master Ji in the capital is not your opponent. If you use the skill of astrology, can you find the whereabouts of the Supreme Elder's order?" The Third Elder asked Mu Hanyan tentatively with thoughts racing in his mind.
"As long as the Third Elder trusts me, I will be able to find the Supreme Elder's order." Mu Hanyan said confidently.
As a descendant of the clan, he certainly had some understanding of astrologers. They weren't all scammers, but three-tenths of their work depended on calculation, three-tenths on guesswork, and four-tenths on luck. Mu Hanyan said it so decisively, it definitely couldn't be as simple as astrology.
They were almost certain that Mu Hanyan had hidden the order of the Supreme Elder in some extremely secret place, so that even the technique of the Supreme Elder's Blood Soul Sacrifice could not be found.
But how did the Supreme Elder's Order end up in Mu Hanyan's hands? If Mu Chengyang was still barely calm, making it hard to tell, Mu Zhong, who was trembling with a pale face beside him, seemed to have already given the answer.
However, seeing that Mu Hanyan didn't seem to pursue the matter, the others didn't bother to say anything more.
"Then let's do it right away." The third elder said impatiently.
"Don't be anxious, Third Elder. This order from the Supreme Elder is of great importance. I have to bathe, change clothes, burn incense and fast first. Moreover, my astrology technique is extremely damaging to my body and mind. I have to prepare some elixirs first." Mu Hanyan said with embarrassment.
Bathing, changing clothes, burning incense, and fasting? Everyone looked at Mu Hanyan with sparkling eyes. That was clearly a trick used by a charlatan to create mystery. A real astrologer wouldn't have such a grand gesture.
Mu Hanyan's words clearly indicated that she didn't want to return the token so soon. Coupled with the miraculous elixir he mentioned later, everyone felt as if they were witnessing a bamboo pole being raised high.
"What kind of elixir do you need?" The third elder could of course hear it, and he threw aside the nonsense about bathing and burning incense and went straight to the center of gravity.
"There are too many and too diverse pills needed, and I can't tell you all at once. The key is that I have no money now. Buying these pills will cost at least 50 or 60 million. Let me think about it, yes, 60 million. Third Elder, wait until I get my share and save enough silver to buy all the pills before you start." Mu Hanyan said in embarrassment.
The Third Elder nearly spat out a mouthful of blood. "No money? How dare you say you have no money? Someone with silver bills on his body, the smallest of which would be an astronomical amount for ordinary people, says he has no money?!
The name of Mu Dawanku has spread throughout the capital these days. Everyone knows that this guy always runs around with a lot of banknotes on him. If he has no money, everyone else will be poor.
