If he wants to extort money, then he wants to extort money. But he actually came up with such a shameless excuse, saying that he saved money from the allowance. If he wanted to save up 60 million with that little allowance, he would have been buried long ago.
"Sixty million is really too much. How about you take ten or twenty million to buy the elixir first and find the token. We can deal with the rest later." Although he knew that Mu Hanyan was extorting him, the Third Elder had no way to deal with it.
As long as Mu Hanyan doesn't return the Supreme Elder's Order to him, he won't be able to hold his head up.
Unfortunately, even as the third elder of the clan, 60 million is not something he can easily come up with. All his savings combined are less than half of that. What can he give to Mu Hanyan?
"That won't do. Third Elder, you know that my astrological skills are too unpredictable and against the will of heaven. If I don't prepare the elixir in advance, my life might be in danger. If I die by then, don't blame me if you can't find the order from the Supreme Elder." Mu Han shook the cigarette butt like a rattle.
I know shit! I know shit! The Third Elder wanted to curse. "It's so unpredictable and outrageous. Aren't you just determined to rip me off? And if you die, if it weren't for that token, I'd wish you'd die sooner and be reborn sooner."
"Well, I still have some savings, you can take them." The Supreme Elder sighed, took out dozens of yellowed silver bills and handed them to Mu Hanyan.
Although he was old and his mind was a little slow, he knew that Mu Hanyan was extorting him. If it were any other time, he would have walked away in anger and would not have bothered to care about the life or death of the Third Elder.
But now the two of them are tied to the same rope. If they can't get back the order of the Supreme Elder, the Third Elder will be unable to sleep or eat, and he will also be uneasy in his heart, so he has to take out the coffin book.
"Grand Elder..." The third elder looked at the Grand Elder with gratitude, his heart filled with guilt.
If he hadn't accidentally lost the token, how could the Supreme Elder have taken out all the coffin books?
"Oh, don't say anything. Let him find the token first." The Supreme Elder sighed, and he seemed to have aged by ten years.
"Here you go. It's enough to buy some pills." The third elder handed the banknote to Mu Hanyan and said while suppressing his anger.
"That's enough. Once I buy the elixir, I'll take a bath, change clothes, burn incense and fast. I'll be able to find the token of the Supreme Elder in three to five days at most." Mu Hanyan took the banknote and her eyes turned into crescents with a smile.
I really underestimated the profession of charlatan in the past. It is really profitable.
"Okay, then I'll wait for three to five days." The third elder also knew that it was impossible for her to return the token now. Even if everyone knew what was going on, it would be too blatant.
"By the way, Third Elder, the Supreme Elder's Order was so important, how could you have lost it due to carelessness? This time, thanks to me, we were able to find it back. You must be careful in the future, otherwise how can you explain to our ancestors?" Mu Hanyan said meaningfully.
The third elder was about to leave, but he stopped when he heard this. It was obvious that Mu Hanyan didn't want to let today's matter go.
"I was too careless and failed to take good care of the clan's treasure. I will punish myself by a year's punishment!" The third elder gritted his teeth, his heart bleeding.
All my savings have been handed over to Mu Hanlei, and now I have to pay a fine for one year. How can I live like this?
Although he was extremely unwilling, he also knew that if he didn't give Mu Hanyan an explanation, Mu Hanyan would never return the token to him, so he had no choice but to swallow his anger.
"As the supreme elder, I failed to take good care of the ancestral treasure, and I will punish myself by paying one year's salary as a punishment." Seeing Mu Hanyan looking at him again, the supreme elder could only swallow his teeth.
"The two elders set an example by their own actions. They are worthy of being the elders of the Mu family!" Mu Hanyan flattered them with a respectful look on her face.
However, the two elders' expressions were extremely ugly. Even if others flattered the wrong place, at most they would hit the legs, but Mu Hanyan was clearly hitting the face! It hurt so much!
"Let's go." Things had come to this point, and the Supreme Elder no longer had the face to stay here. With a grim face, he was the first to walk out.
The third elder glanced at Mu Chengyang intentionally or unintentionally, and then followed him.
When Mu Chengyang was glanced at by the Third Elder, he felt as if his heart had instantly plummeted into an icy valley. Although his legs felt as if they were filled with lead, he still followed behind him like a zombie.
The others also dispersed, but before leaving, they all secretly glanced at Mu Hanyan, their eyes full of awe.
That night's events were full of twists and turns. No one had expected that the Supreme Elder and the Third Elder would arrive with such vehemence, only to leave in disgrace. Not only did they fail to embarrass Mu Hanyan, but they also suffered humiliation and hardship.
Not only did he fail to find the token, but Mu Hanyan also extorted a full 60 million yuan from him, and he was even forced to pay a fine himself.
The Third Elder was fine, but the Grand Elder had such an extraordinary status in the clan that even Mu Beichen, the head of the clan, could not be rude in front of him. However, in front of Mu Hanyan, he was tormented to the point that he had no power to fight back.
From now on, the reputations of the First Elder and the Third Elder plummeted, while Mu Beichen was at the peak of his career.
The Third Elder had been fighting with Mu Beichen for many years, and neither of them had ever won. However, it had only been over a month since Mu Hanyan returned, and such earth-shaking changes had already taken place.
The most dissolute man in the capital is so scary!
Almost at the same time, everyone secretly made up their minds: in the Mu family, you can offend anyone, but never offend Mu Hanyan, otherwise, there will be no chance to regret it.
…
"Tell me, what happened!" As soon as he returned to his house, the third elder ordered people to close the door and looked at Mu Chengyang with a stern face.
"Grandfather, I was wrong!" Mu Chengyang's heart had been beating fast and he was almost scared to death by the Third Elder's roar. He was so scared that he immediately knelt on the ground.
Although I didn't have a clear answer to what was going on, the words "I was wrong" made everything clear.
"It's you, it's you!" The third elder had long guessed that he had been tricked by his precious grandson, but when he saw him admit it, he was still so angry that his whole body was shaking.
"I didn't expect this to happen. Grandfather, please believe me. The token must be in Mu Hanyan's hands. We will definitely find it as long as we search again." Seeing the Third Elder's rage, Mu Chengyang was even more frightened and hurriedly explained.
"Pa!" The third elder waved his hand and blew Mu Chengyang away.
At this point, he can still say such things. Does he have any brains?
Anyone who is not blind, deaf or stupid can guess that the token is in Mu Hanyan's hand. But he even dares to tease the Supreme Elder. It is obvious that he is fearless. Faced with Mu Hanyan's confidence, even the Supreme Elder finally chose to give up to avoid further embarrassment. But Mu Chengyang actually wants to continue searching. Doesn't he think he has been embarrassed enough?
