"What a big tone you have! You can't invite the elders of the eight great families just by saying so. Mu Hanyan, you still dare to quibble at this point, and even talk about inviting the elders of the Mo family to come and confront them. You are clearly being unreasonable! If I don't teach you a lesson today, I'm afraid that the Mu family's foundation of hundreds of thousands of years will be destroyed in your hands sooner or later!" The Supreme Elder cursed with a sneer.
The people in the audience also shook their heads secretly. Although the words of the Supreme Elder seemed to be making a mountain out of a molehill, Mu Hanyan's words were indeed unreasonable and intentional.
Given the status of one of the eight great families, no matter how dissatisfied the elders of the Mo family are with Mu Hanyan, they would never easily interfere in the feuds between the younger generations, let alone come to the Mu family to confront Mu Hanyan for a younger generation.
I think Mu Hanyan is sure of this point, so she dares to speak so arrogantly. In the final analysis, she is just talking nonsense and denying everything.
Unfortunately, since the Grand Elder had resolved to teach him a lesson, there was no way he would allow him to continue his nonsense. After all, he was the Grand Elder. Mu Hanyan's reputation as the most dissolute playboy had long been known throughout the capital, and her entanglements with Mo Yanhong and others were also well known. Simply using this as a pretext to deduct her share was difficult for even the Patriarch to argue with.
"Grand Elder, Master of the Family, there is someone at the door asking to see you. They say... they say..." At this moment, a guard came hurriedly and spoke to the Grand Elder and others in a panic.
"Let him wait at the door." The Supreme Elder frowned and said impatiently.
He personally took action today, intending to teach Mu Hanyan a severe lesson, but was nearly injured by Mu Hanyan. Knowing that he would never be Mu Hanyan's opponent in bickering, he didn't want to care about face or reason anymore. He was preparing to use his authority as the Supreme Elder to teach Mu Hanyan a lesson and get the matter over with, but he didn't expect that this guard was so ignorant that he actually came over and caused trouble at this time.
"Hmph, what a big tone! Mu Rongqi, now that you have become the supreme elder of the Mu family, do you even look down on me?" As soon as he finished speaking, an old man floated over, followed by a fat little man with big ears and a fat head.
The old man was not tall, dressed in coarse linen clothes, with a red nose on his face. He looked ordinary, but as he walked with the wind, his long hair dancing in the wind, he looked awe-inspiring.
"You are... who... who..." The Supreme Elder looked at the old man who was flying down, his eyes were stern, and he felt a little uneasy.
"I'm not here anymore. I haven't seen you for a hundred years. Don't you even recognize me?" The old man waved his sleeves and said unhappily.
"Junior Mu Rongqi, nice to meet you, Senior He." The expression of the Grand Elder changed, and he quickly saluted the old man.
"Junior Mu Beichen, greetings to Senior He." Mu Beichen did not dare to be careless and saluted the old man.
The other elders also looked solemn and bowed to the old man.
"He Changzai, it's actually He Changzai, the ancestor of the He family!"
"I heard that the ancestor of the He family hasn't appeared for hundreds of years. Many people thought he was no longer alive. How come he suddenly came back?" After hearing what the Supreme Elder and others said, all the children of the Mu family in the audience were shocked and whispered to each other.
"This is not simple. It must be for next year's family competition. If I'm not mistaken, not only has the He family's ancestor returned, but the ancestors of other major families will also be returning one after another."
"Since you are planning to attend next year's Aristocratic Family Competition, why are you coming to our Mu family?" someone asked in confusion.
Obviously, this was also the common question of everyone. No one answered his question. He lowered his head and thought for a moment, and everyone's eyes looked at Mu Hanyan.
Just now, the third elder mentioned that Mu Hanyan had offended the young master of the Mo family and bullied the descendants of the He Song family and other families. He didn't expect that the ancestor of the He family would come so soon. Judging from He Chang's tone, it didn't seem like he was here to reminisce about the past. If he guessed correctly, he was most likely here to seek justice for Mu Hanyan.
Looking at Mu Hanyan, everyone found that Mu Hanyan's expression was very strange. First she was surprised, then she was suddenly enlightened, and then she seemed to want to laugh, but she didn't.
It seemed that Mu Hanyan had guessed the He family ancestor's intentions and was probably frightened. Initially, she had said she would confront the elders of the other Mo family, but the Mo family elders didn't show up, and instead the He family ancestor came to visit. Now let's see how she can argue.
Thinking that the Grand Elder could now legitimately withhold Mu Hanyan's cultivation resources, the Mu family members felt a sense of sympathy for her. However, with things turning out this way, the Grand Elder's ulterior motives couldn't be blamed. Even the dignified He Family Patriarch had come to him. Even if the Grand Elder was impartial, he still had to give an explanation.
If anyone is to blame, it's only Mu Hanyan who acts too arrogantly and offends too many people.
"Senior He, I wonder what brings you to the Mu Mansion today?" The Grand Elder seemed to have guessed the same thing. As he asked, he glanced at Mu Hanyan in the crowd with a sneer on his face. "Didn't you say you wanted to confront me? Now that they've come to me, let's see how you're going to handle it?"
"I'm here today to seek justice for my great-grandson. Although my great-grandson is not very capable, he is still the direct descendant of the He family. He has been bullied repeatedly by the descendants of your Mu family. Do you really think I'm dead when I've been gone for less than a hundred years?" When He Changzai said this, his face turned red again. It was obvious that he was full of anger and ready to explode at any time.
Here he comes, as expected, He Qingwei has come forward! The Mu family descendants all changed color and looked at Mu Hanyan worriedly.
"Han Yan, why don't you stay away first? The He family's ancestor is famous for his hot temper and terrifying strength. Even us, the Supreme Elder, can only regard ourselves as juniors in front of him.
If it were an elder from another family, they might not lower their status for a younger one, but I heard that the ancestor of the He family is extremely protective of his own children. In the past, he often stood up for his own children and caused too many troubles. That's why he was driven out of the capital by the elders of the He family at that time and practiced outside. He was strictly ordered not to return to the capital easily, and not to interfere in the affairs of the He family easily. That's why his reputation is not too loud.
Now that the elders of the He family are no longer alive, and he has become the patriarch of the He family, no one can control him anymore. If he wants to embarrass you, I'm afraid not even the head of the family can protect you." A young woman whispered to Mu Hanyan.
"Thank you for the reminder, sister." Mu Hanyan did not comment on his reminder, but still nodded in thanks.
The clan was large and prosperous, and she didn't know the woman's name. She only vaguely knew that she was a cousin from the great elder's family, and she was grateful for her kindness.
The other members of the Mu family didn't say much, but they quietly moved their feet, leaving Mu Hanyan space to escape without making a sound.
