In the Mu Mansion compound.
"Me? Third Elder, you must have made a mistake. I, Mu Hanyan, don't have any other advantages, but I have always been self-disciplined and abided by the sect rules. I am very honest. How could I cause trouble and disturb the peace of the sect?" Mu Hanyan opened her big, flawless black and white eyes, looking as innocent as she could be, and as aggrieved as she could be.
Looking at Mu Hanyan's innocent look, not to mention others, even Hua Yue and others around her started to twitch their mouths.
Although the title of the capital's number one playboy is somewhat untrue and mostly based on rumors, when it comes to keeping oneself clean and abiding by the clan rules, I'm afraid it can't be associated with the eldest son Mu Hanyan in front of him.
If she is considered honest, is there anyone else in the world who is dishonest?
Well, the Supreme Elder's actions today were unbecoming and too petty, but you can't be so shameless. Look at his innocent and aggrieved face. If Hua Yue and others didn't know their young master's character very well, they would almost believe it.
It's a pity that the young master doesn't go to act anymore. Several people couldn't help but think.
"Mu Hanyan, don't confuse people. The Grand Elder said that you are causing trouble outside. One moment you offend the young master of the Mo family, and the next moment you bully the descendants of the He and Song families. You even dare to make an enemy of His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince, causing my Mu family to make enemies everywhere. He is not talking about what you have done in the family." After all, the Third Elder was younger and reacted much faster. He was afraid that Mu Hanyan would ramble on and on and involve the Grand Elder, so he quickly stopped Mu Hanyan from talking.
"Third Elder, I don't know where you heard these rumors from? I admit that I have some conflicts with Mo Yanhong and others, but it is obvious that they are stubborn and bully others. As a descendant of the Mu family, I don't want to see them become accomplices of the evil and ruin the reputation of our eight great families. That's why I saw injustice and took action." Mu Hanyan said with a righteous face.
"So, you acted out of chivalry just to preserve the reputation of the eight great families. Should I reward you well then?" The Supreme Elder laughed angrily.
"If the Grand Elder really wants to reward me, I will not refuse it. However, the Grand Elder just gave me tens of millions of silver taels a few days ago. I guess he can't come up with any decent reward. Just give me something casually. It's okay as long as it shows his appreciation." Mu Hanyan said shamelessly.
Hua Yue and the others were sweating profusely on their foreheads. Originally, they were just ashamed of being inferior to Young Master Mu's talent in cultivation, and thought that it was hard to catch up with him. But now they realized that compared to his talent in cultivation, Young Master Mu's shamelessness was even more rare in the world.
It was clearly bullying, but in his mouth it became a righteous act. The other supreme elder just made a sarcastic remark, but he dared to climb up the ladder and even asked for rewards from others.
Especially the last sentence, it was like rubbing salt into the wound, directly hitting the sore spot of the Grand Elder. Wasn't she afraid of causing internal injuries to the old man?
Sure enough, the Grand Elder was so angry that his stomach ached. He held his stomach and became speechless.
Alas, I knew long ago that I shouldn't argue with him, so why are we fighting again? Seeing the dark face of the Supreme Elder, the Third Elder sighed inwardly.
"Mu Hanyan, you still dare to quibble at this point!" The third elder didn't dare to let the supreme elder speak anymore, and pointed at Mu Hanyan and shouted harshly.
"Third Elder, I'm not quibbling. Ever since I taught Mo Yanhong and the others a lesson, they have learned their lesson and returned to the right path. They are much more sensible than before, and they are all grateful to me. As for the elders of several major families such as the Mo and He families, they are even more grateful to me when they see their descendants turning over a new leaf, and they are very willing to make peace with our Mu family." Mu Hanyan said confidently.
She deliberately mentioned Mo Yanhong for a simple reason: Mo Qingkuang still owed her several favors. If all else failed, she could just drag that old guy out to help out and see what the Grand Elder had to say.
However, the favor from the Mo family ancestor is too precious. Unless the Supreme Elder and the Third Elder force her too much, she will try not to use it if possible.
"Hahahaha, this is such a huge joke. Everyone in the capital knows that you, Mu Hanyan, are such a bully, yet you still dare to talk about being grateful. If you really have the ability to make the major families reconcile with our Mu family, don't be afraid that I can't reward you. Even if I give you all my share, what can it matter?" The Supreme Elder was really annoyed by Mu Hanyan's innuendos and accusations. Hearing Mu Hanyan's "nonsense" and desperately trying to flatter himself, he couldn't help but laughed out loud.
The third elder frowned. It seemed that the Grand Elder was getting more and more confused as he got older. How could he say such words so casually? You have to know that the Grand Elder's status in the clan is so transcendent. The cultivation resources he received are even higher than Mu Beichen's. If he really gave them to Mu Hanyan, wouldn't that brat be getting a bargain?
This time, however, he hesitated to speak. The dispute between Mu Hanyan and Mo Yanhong and the others was no secret; everyone in the capital knew about it. If it weren't for the need to save face and avoid damaging the relationship between the younger generations, the elders would have come to reason with them long ago. How could they possibly be grateful to Mu Hanyan?
Mu Hanyan was just bragging about this. They were not stupid, so how could they possibly believe it?
The other members of the Mu family also looked at Mu Hanyan. If they could really get the share of the Supreme Elder, Mu Hanyan would surely soar to the sky, but they also knew that this was simply impossible.
Almost no one took the words of the Grand Elder seriously, but Mu Hanyan was moved when she heard it.
The Grand Elder said that she was causing trouble and making enemies for the clan. It was just an excuse to make things difficult for her. There was no real evidence. She was making up stories to flatter herself. She just didn't want the Grand Elder's conspiracy to succeed, and she didn't think of taking advantage of him.
But he didn't expect that the Supreme Elder would be so angry that he would use his share as a reward.
Mu Hanyan didn’t know what the share of the Supreme Elder was, but even if she used her toes to imagine, she could imagine how generous it was. How could she not be tempted?
"Words are not enough. How about we invite the elders of the Mo family to come and have a chat?" A sly smile appeared on Mu Hanyan's lips.
The corners of Huayue and the others' mouths twitched subconsciously, revealing strange smiles.
Others didn't know who the elder of the Mo family Mu Hanyan was talking about was, but how could they not know? Don't forget, Mo Qingkuang, the ancestor of the Mo family, still owed the eldest son Mo several favors?
Looking at the sneer-faced Supreme Elder again, Hua Yue and the others were filled with pity and sympathy: You say you are already quite old, why are you arguing with Mu Da Wanku, a junior? Aren't you digging a hole for yourself?
