Now that He Changzai had said this, the He Family Alchemy Workshop would naturally no longer refuse the Mu Family's request. Many of the Mu Family's elders who had been stuck in a bottleneck for a long time and had not been able to break through seemed to see the hope of promotion again, and their eyes were filled with excitement.
"Since you are all so generous, I feel embarrassed to be stingy. Let's put it this way. Our Mo family has several herb gardens in the Longyan Mountains. If the Mu family needs any herbs, we will give you priority. You can pay or barter." Mo Qingkuang's subsequent words made them so excited that their whole bodies trembled, and they almost had chicken claws collectively.
The problem of alchemy was finally solved, and I didn't even have to worry about the medicinal materials.
"Thank you two seniors and Patriarch Zhang for your kindness. My Mu family also has some assets. If there is anything I can use, just let me know." If only the Zhang family had surrendered to the Mu family, the Supreme Elder could still barely remain calm, but since even the He family and the Mo family took the initiative to show goodwill towards the Mu family, he could no longer remain calm and spoke excitedly.
"I'm not saying this because of your Mu family, I'm saying this because of Mu Hanyan from your Mu family. You say you're already grown up, but how come you're so unreasonable? You have such a pillar of the clan, and it would be fine if you didn't pay attention to him, but you actually want to punish him severely. Are you really senile or have water in your brain?" The old drunkard didn't appreciate his kindness. He shook his head and looked at the Supreme Elder as if he were an idiot.
He was slapped in the face, and then slapped again. The old face of the Grand Elder was red with shame, and he just wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
All the Mu family members looked at Mu Hanyan, with curiosity, confusion, and more of admiration in their eyes.
The Mo family's ancestors, the He family's ancestors, and the Zhang family's head spoke so bluntly. Who doesn't know that they are showing goodwill to the Mu family today because of Mu Hanyan?
Who said that Mu Hanyan was stirring up trouble and making enemies for the family? Thinking back to the words that the Supreme Elder and the Third Elder had previously scolded Mu Hanyan, they felt that it was simply a huge irony.
Although Mu Hanyan caused a lot of trouble after returning to Beijing, and was even dubbed the number one playboy in the capital, she not only did not bring any trouble to the family, but instead made great contributions.
If every dude is like this, I really hope the Mu family has more dudes. The elders and ministers couldn't help but think so.
"Senior Mo, Senior He, and Patriarch Zhang, our Mu family is eternally grateful for your kindness. I will have someone prepare a banquet right away so that we can have a drink and chat together." The Supreme Elder concealed his embarrassment and said to them.
"Sorry to bother you." Mo Qingkuang said frankly.
The old drunkard thought about it and didn't refuse.
As one of the eight great families, they took the initiative to show goodwill to the Mu family. If they left without even a glass of wine, people would think that the Mo and He families were afraid of the Mu family, which would be bad for their reputation.
Zhang Moyang also nodded. The Zhang family's status was not as high as theirs, and they had already intended to join the Mu family, so of course they would not refuse.
"Third Elder, I'll leave the matters here to you. The Patriarch and I will accompany Senior Mo, Senior He, and Patriarch Zhang to the reception room first." The Grand Elder's plan to embarrass Mu Hanyan failed, and he was repeatedly slapped in the face by He Changzai. He didn't feel comfortable staying any longer, so he said hello and left.
"Wait, Grand Elder." Mu Beichen did not move his feet. He said to the Grand Elder with a smile, "Should we discuss Han Yan's share again?"
"Haven't you already agreed on how many shares he should receive? What else is there to discuss?" The Supreme Elder said impatiently with a gloomy look on his face.
The reason why he was in a hurry to get away was that he felt too embarrassed, so he didn't even want to mention Mu Hanyan's matter. However, Mu Beichen insisted on discussing it with him. Isn't this just bringing up something that is not related to the topic?
"So it's agreed upon, but didn't you, the Supreme Elder, say before that you would give him your share as well?" Mu Beichen said with a puzzled look on his face.
"What!" The Grand Elder's eyes widened. He certainly wouldn't forget what he said, but who would take it seriously when everyone knew it was just a rant from a fit of rage?
But Mu Beichen not only took it seriously, but also showed a determination not to give in.
After being severely blackmailed by Mu Hanyan last time, the Grand Elder seemed to see another bamboo pole held high above his head. Last time, he was nearly knocked unconscious, but this time, he was planning to beat himself half to death!
"Grand Elder, I remember you just said that if Han Yan has the ability to make other families friendly with the Mu family, then it wouldn't matter if you gave him your share.
"Could it be that the Supreme Elder was joking? Well, since you're the Supreme Elder, if you say it's a joke, then just treat it as a joke. Just pretend I didn't hear that." Mu Beichen said helplessly.
“…” The Supreme Elder had a frown on his face.
If Mu Beichen hadn't said the following sentence, he really wanted to get away with it with a joke, but Mu Beichen's words immediately blocked what he had prepared to say.
What do you mean, "You're the Grand Elder anyway, so just treat it as a joke, right?" That's clearly saying he's taking advantage of his seniority and bullying others, and his words aren't binding. He can't afford to lose face like this.
The Supreme Elder gritted his teeth in hatred. Now, he finally knew where Mu Hanyan's sharp tongue came from. It was definitely genetic.
Even though the old man Mu Beichen doesn't talk much on weekdays, he is definitely not any worse than his precious grandson when it comes to talking.
The younger one is like this, the older one is like this too. What kind of people are this family?
"Then do as I say and give him my share as well." Although the Supreme Elder gritted his teeth in hatred, he still said it generously for the sake of face.
After all, he is the supreme elder. In front of so many younger generations and elders from other families, he has to save face and not let others look down on him.
"Then, is it just the allotment for this season?" Mu Beichen asked again, striking while the iron was hot.
What do you mean it's just this season's allotment? Don't you think it's too little? The Grand Elder was already feeling pained, and after being questioned by Mu Beichen, not only did his body feel pained, but his heart also began to ache.
"A mere quarterly allowance is far too stingy. Give him my entire year's allowance," the Grand Elder said with a wave of his hand. He'd already been generous once, so he might as well be generous to the end. The Grand Elder still had some nerve.
"Thank you very much, Grand Elder. Hanyan, why don't you come over quickly and thank the Grand Elder." Mu Beichen said to Mu Hanyan with a smile on his old face.
"Hanyan thanks the Grand Elder for his gift. I will definitely keep your teachings in mind in the future, continue to work hard, and will never let you down." Mu Hanyan did not expect that her grandfather had such a side to him, and said with a smile.
"Yeah, yeah, okay." The Supreme Elder wanted to say something, but when he saw the bright smiles on the faces of Mu Beichen and Mu Hanyan, the grandfather and grandson, he felt his heart bleed and didn't want to say a word.
