Gu Ting looked at Gu Yuan and said, "Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. Just practice here with peace of mind. I still have some things to take care of."
Gu Yuan nodded and said, "You go ahead. I'll be fine here by myself."
Before leaving, Gu Ting said, "If you want to walk around here, I can arrange for a few maids to accompany you."
Gu Yuan shook his head, "No, I still like to be alone."
After Gu Ting left, Gu Yuan began to practice alone in the backyard.
Mu family.
Inside the hall.
The atmosphere in the Mu family's hall was quite heated. A group of people were arguing about something, their faces flushed as they looked at the person sitting in the main seat. Each of them had their own reasons. Surprisingly, they were the elders and the chief elder of the Mu family who had been outside the Mu Mansion.
"Clan leader, the Great Elder used his personal authority to privately appropriate 30,000 spiritual herbs from the family warehouse and even gave them directly to his son Mu Tianxing without permission. He cannot escape the charge of abusing his power and must be severely punished."
"Yes, Clan Leader! The Great Elder's behavior is extremely despicable and has caused a huge impact within the clan. He secretly moved 30,000 spiritual herbs from the warehouse, a small portion of which were spiritual herbs that the clan was about to give to other people. These spiritual herbs were secretly taken by the Great Elder before they could be delivered to others, and then they were lost. This crime should be punished, Clan Leader!"
Hearing the elders complaining to the clan leader, the elder of the Mu family looked grim. He hadn't expected the matter to turn out this way. Originally, according to his thinking, Mu Tianxing lost to Gu Yuan the first time because he underestimated his opponent and was careless. But he never expected that when Mu Tianxing asked him to get him tens of thousands more spiritual herbs the second time, he wanted to refuse. However, he thought that this matter had taken root in his son's heart and had caused him psychological obstacles. He originally wanted Mu Tianxing to use this opportunity to remove the obstacles in his heart to prevent it from affecting his future cultivation. However, he never expected that Mu Tianxing would lose again this time, and it was not a battle between cultivation levels, but a loss of pure physical strength.
He was there at the time and saw everything. He had never expected that Mu Tianxing, whose physical strength was already extremely strong, would lose so completely to a kid who was only a ninth-level spiritual master.
Now the eldest elder of the Mu family has begun to question whether his decision was correct. Perhaps he should not have been soft-hearted and agreed to Mu Tianxing's request. He should have let him solve these problems himself, instead of using his authority in a fit of rage to mobilize 30,000 spiritual herbs from the family warehouse. Now, all 30,000 spiritual herbs are gone and given to that kid for nothing.
Now Mu Tianxing’s injury is no longer the most important thing. The most important thing is how to replenish the more than 30,000 spiritual medicines.
Finally, all the elders gave their reasons in front of the head of the Mu family and filed a complaint against the chief elder.
The head of the Mu family sat in the main seat with a calm expression, but a closer look revealed a hint of anger in his eyes. Thirty thousand spiritual herbs, some of which were orders to be delivered to others, were the most infuriating thing for the head of the Mu family.
The Mu family has always valued credibility in their business. They always keep their promises on time, but this time, this incident almost delayed the delivery of the elixir, almost causing their family to break their promise. The head of the Mu family could not help but be furious.
He looked at the Great Elder of the Mu Family and said, "Great Elder, how exactly are you going to explain this to me? Thirty thousand spiritual herbs were just given away for nothing. You should come up with a reasonable explanation."
The Mu family's eldest elder's face turned pale. He looked at the Mu family head and said, "Patriarch, you probably never expected this matter to turn out like this. I just thought that with Tianxing's strength, if we face him in the next battle, he will definitely defeat that kid. But I didn't expect that Tianxing would lose in this battle, and it was so tragic. That kid is obviously only a ninth-level spiritual master, but he possesses a strange demonic fire. This flame is also a demonic fire, much stronger than the flame in my hand. I don't mean to defend Tianxing, but with that flame, that kid's strength can also directly rival Tianxing.
So, this battle was something I had never anticipated. However, I will definitely find a way to make up for the loss of 30,000 spiritual herbs. I hope the clan leader can give me some time. After all, 30,000 spiritual herbs is not a small number. I need some time to prepare and will definitely make up for all the losses."
One of the elders said with a cold smile, "Great Elder, aren't you kidding me? Thirty thousand spiritual herbs. Can you transfer them just like that? You should make amends, but you can't just abuse your authority as an elder to transfer thirty thousand spiritual herbs from the warehouse. This is not something you can just excuse. The family rules stipulate that if you transfer things from the warehouse without permission, the crime will be aggravated and the punishment will be severe! I wonder if the Great Elder has forgotten this ancestral precept. Our Mu family originated from a warehouse. From a warehouse to where we are today, the family rules have played an indispensable role. It is precisely because of the constraints of the family rules over the years that our Mu family has been able to develop to this point.
But I think you, Great Elder, have completely forgotten our ancestral teachings and openly violated clan rules by diverting the spiritual medicine from the warehouse. Great Elder, shouldn't you be dismissed from your position and refrain from taking responsibility?"
The elder's face grew paler. He looked at the elder and said, "I will naturally take all the blame for this matter, but I, Mu Zhan, will never forget the ancestral teachings of the Mu family! I always keep in mind the rules set by our ancestors, but I was also confused for a moment. I was moved by what Tian Xing said last time.
He lost to that brat last time, and I'm worried it'll leave a shadow in his heart, creating a demonic mind that will affect his future cultivation. Furthermore, Tianxing is a genius within our Mu family, exceptional among this younger generation. I believe not only myself, but everyone here, including the team leader, wouldn't want to see Tianxing harbor demonic thoughts that would hinder his future cultivation and stagnate.
I was also thinking that this was absolutely wrong, so I was confused for a moment. Without reporting to the team leader, I mobilized the warehouse and really set out to get the elixir. This was definitely my mistake.
