"That is to say, you want me to go with you to the Mu family to meet Mu Tianxing, and ask him to give the elixir to you in front of him, because we are engaged, and Mu Tianxing likes me. If he does not fulfill his promise, he will definitely be embarrassed in front of me. You think that Mu Tianxing will definitely not want to do this, so if you take me with you, there is a high probability that Mu Tianxing will give the elixir to you honestly. Am I right?" Gu Ting asked.
Gu Yuan nodded and replied, "That's roughly what I mean. What do you think?"
Gu Ting lowered her head and thought for a moment before saying, "I can promise you, but after this incident, you and I will owe each other nothing. If Mu Tianxing and Yuwen Feng cause trouble for you again because of this incident, then I will no longer help you, and you can no longer ask me to do anything for you, because I no longer owe you anything."
"Okay! Deal!"
Gu Yuan agreed very readily.
Gu Ting continued, "Another thing is, I won't go with you until my spiritual energy is fully restored. That means we'll have to wait a while. If you can't wait, you can find another way. Before my spiritual energy is fully restored, I won't be able to show up in public."
"Sure! There's no problem with that. After all, Mu Tianxing didn't say anything about a time limit, so he can't cheat. So it's a deal. When your spiritual energy recovers, you'll come with me to the Mu family to retrieve the elixir that belongs to me."
Gu Ting nodded and said, "Okay! It's settled then."
"Well, that's it. You take a good rest first, and I'll practice on the side."
Having said that, Gu Yuan ran directly to the corner, sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes and began his own practice.
Gu Ting looked at Gu Yuan in the corner and curled her lips. This guy is really a crazy practitioner. These days, whenever he has nothing to do, he has been practicing without stopping for a moment. He is a hardworking guy.
Gu Yuan went to practice, and Gu Ting felt a little bored alone. If she went out, her cultivation had not yet recovered, so she could not go out easily. If she did not go out, she could only stay in the room honestly. Only when her spiritual energy recovered could she regain her freedom.
"The days without cultivation are really hard!"
Gu Ting murmured something, sat down on the bed, and began her own practice.
As long as the spiritual energy is restored, everything will be fine.
As the two closed their eyes and began to practice, silence fell in the room.
Ancient Desert City, Mu Family.
As the second largest family in Gumo City, the Mu family has a very high status. Only the first-ranked Gu family can be compared with the Mu family.
Even in some aspects, the Gu family has to rely on the Mu family, such as spiritual medicine.
The Mu family controls more than 60% of the spiritual medicine industry in Gumo City. This is no joke. In addition to the more than 60% of the industry controlled by the Mu family, the remaining less than 40% of the industry is basically scattered and controlled by several other small families, and the Gu family also occupies about 20% of them. It can be seen that the spiritual medicine industry in Gumo City can be said to be completely controlled by the Gu and Mu families.
This also indirectly illustrates the strength of the Mu family. Moreover, the spiritual medicine industry is a highly profitable industry. This shows how wealthy the Mu family is. I am afraid that even the Gu family cannot compare to them.
At this time, Mu Tianxing returned to the Mu family with an extremely ugly expression.
"Tianxing, what's going on? Why do you look so grim when you come back? Who provokes you?"
The man who looked to be around fifty years old looked at Mu Tianxing walking back from outside with an extremely ugly expression and asked hurriedly.
"Nothing, this is for you. I need to mobilize the spiritual medicine in the family warehouse."
Mu Tianxing didn't waste any time and directly handed the man a piece of paper with densely written words on it.
The man took the note, and his originally smiling face gradually turned into shock.
"No... no, Tianxing, what do you want to do with so many spiritual medicines? Besides, there are not many spiritual medicines here even in the warehouse. They are very precious. What do you want to do with them?" the man asked in shock.
"Father, don't ask anymore. My child is here for a purpose. Let me use the things in the warehouse first. After a while, I will naturally replenish all these elixirs in the warehouse!" Mu Tianxing said impatiently.
This man is Mu Tianxing’s father, the eldest elder of the Mu family, Mu Yuan.
"Tianxing, you can have so many spiritual medicines, but you must tell me what you want them for and what they are for. Otherwise, it will be impossible for the warehouse to transfer spiritual medicines without my approval."
Mu Yuan held the note tightly in his hand and looked at Mu Tianxing seriously.
This time, looking at Mu Tianxing's ugly face, he instinctively felt that something might have happened.
"Has something happened? Tell your father and I'll see how to solve it for you." Mu Yuan said.
"Actually, I lost a bet with someone. The bet said that if I lost, I would have to compensate him with a hundred times the amount of spiritual medicine. Now that I lost the battle, I naturally have to fulfill my promise."
Mu Tianxing lowered his head and said.
"Huh? What? You lost the bet? Who did you bet with? Was it that kid Yuwen Jue from the Tianhuo Sect?" Mu Yuan asked in surprise.
"No, there are eleven guys named Gu Yuan." Mu Tianxing replied.
"Gu Yuan? Who is this person? Why have I never heard of him? Is he a disciple of the four major sects?" Mu Yuan asked.
"No, I'm not sure about his identity. Anyway, I lost this time. According to the promise I made, I must compensate him with a hundred times the amount of spiritual medicine. I can't gather that much by myself right now, so father, you need to help me use the warehouse to collect everything on the note."
"One hundred times, why is it so much? The warehouse does not belong to me alone, it belongs to the entire family. If the clan leader knew about this, and you lost to an unknown kid, the clan leader would definitely not agree!" Mu Yuan said.
"I know you can do it, father. Don't say anything more. I will ask the clan leader for instructions later. Anyway, I am willing to accept defeat this time. I don't want to be looked down upon by others. I can't lose the battle and my character at the same time. So let's put it this way. Father, you go collect the things, and I will ask the clan leader for instructions. I will also explain the whole story to him. Even if I have to be punished, I will accept it!" Mu Tianxing gritted his teeth and said.
"Have you thought it through? If the clan leader knew about this, you would definitely be punished. As a leader of the Mu family, how could you lose to such a brat?"
"I underestimated the enemy and was careless. No one else is to blame. I will take responsibility for my own actions. Don't worry."
