Mu Xinhai was furious. He roared:
"But no matter what, it was Qingling who saved the Mu family. What right do you have to criticize her?"
"If it weren't for her, the entire Mu family would have ceased to exist long ago. You might all have been hunted to death by Lin Yuner, and you wouldn't even have the chance to act so recklessly against us."
"Also, I will never agree to you, Mu Xin, being the head of this family. If Mu Hua is incompetent and unjust, then I won't say anything more."
"But you, Mu Xin, privately misappropriated nearly 80% of the family's resources. These were all painstakingly accumulated by my grandfather and his generation. Anyone who can commit such despicable acts is not worthy of being the head of our Mu family."
Mu Xinhai spoke sharply and criticized Mu Xin.
His words immediately caused the entire hall to fall into silence.
Mu Xin's eyes were filled with coldness and murderous intent. At this moment, he wished he could kill Mu Xinhai directly.
But he knew he couldn't do that.
The Mu family has not yet been completely controlled by him, and many people have succumbed to his strength. If Mu Xinhai is killed directly, it will only cause everyone's dissatisfaction to erupt completely.
He hoped that the Mu family would be firmly under his control.
If the Mu family disbanded directly, it would be of no benefit to him.
Mu Xin took a deep breath and said with a cold look in his eyes, "I heard that Sister Ru has been ill recently and has consulted many doctors but to no avail. Why don't you take good care of Sister Ru first before interfering in the family's affairs."
When Mu Xinhai heard this, his eyes widened and he looked at Mu Xin in disbelief.
Could it be...that he did this?
Why!
He found it hard to accept that Mu Xin had gone to such lengths just to become the head of the family.
If Yang Ru married him, she would be a member of the Mu family, but Mu Xin had done something to harm his own people.
Yang Ru suddenly fell ill some time ago. At first, Mu Xinhai thought it was a problem with her cultivation. Later, he consulted many people, but they couldn't find out what was wrong.
During this period, Yang Ru's condition has become increasingly serious. If it continues to deteriorate like this, she may die in one or two months at most.
Mu Xin said calmly, "But don't worry. I happen to know a fourth-grade alchemist who seems to know something about Rumei's illness. I'll send you some pills to see if they work."
His words were already a naked warning.
Mu Xinhai clenched his fists, his eyes bloodshot, and glared at Mu Xin fiercely, but this time he didn't say anything more.
Yang Ru's life is in Mu Xin's hands, and he would never joke about his woman's life.
After Mu Xinhai stopped talking, the entire hall fell into silence, and everyone lowered their heads and stopped talking.
Now, no one in the entire Mu family can continue to resist Mu Xin.
When Mu Hua saw this scene, he was completely discouraged.
Lost!
"Mu Xin, stop talking. I'm not qualified to be the head of the family, so I'm stepping down."
At this point, Mu Hua no longer resisted. It was meaningless to continue to fight against Mu Xin, as it would only leave neither of them with any way out.
Mu Hua is not a fool either.
If we continue to make trouble, it will be a life-and-death struggle.
If he terminates it now, the only consequence will be that he will be suppressed in the Mu family in the future, because no matter what the reason is, Mu Xin will never kill him.
Mu Xin's lips curled up slightly, and he said calmly, "You are able to recognize your own shortcomings, and that is also a kind of responsibility."
After saying this, he continued speaking with a righteous tone.
"The Mu family cannot be without a leader for a day. In the days ahead, I will temporarily take over the position of head of the family. If there is a more suitable candidate for head of the family, I will let him or her be the head of the Mu family."
"Do you have any objections?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the hall fell silent. Things had come to this point, so how could others dare to express any opinions?
If you still dare to speak at this time, you will definitely be liquidated after Mu Xin secures the position of the head of the family.
Mu Hua sighed deeply, then stood up and left the hall.
Mu Xinhai also stood up suddenly, waving his sleeves and left with an angry look on his face.
Mu Li suddenly shouted and saluted Mu Xin:
"Meet the Patriarch!"
Mu Geng also shouted: "Greetings to the Patriarch!"
When the people in the hall saw this scene, some of them shouted decisively, while others looked at each other and shouted with a little hesitation.
Mu Xin walked forward slowly and sat in the seat that originally belonged to the head of the family with a satisfied smile on his face.
He looked around and saw dissatisfaction in many people's eyes.
But Mu Xin didn't care. As long as he was the head of the family, it was only a matter of time before he took control of the Mu family.
His strength is there, and absolutely no one can shake his position. What he does next is nothing more than eliminating dissidents.
Mu Xin said calmly, "From today on, Mu Geng will be the chief elder of our Mu family, and Mu Li will be the second elder. Although the former head of the family, Mu Hua, was not able to lead the family well, he did a lot for the family after all."
"From now on, Mu Hua will be the head steward of my Mu family's inner courtyard. Make contributions to the family and make amends for your mistakes."
He spoke with great righteousness, completely putting all the blame on Mu Hua, and himself as a wise and insightful head of the family.
"In addition, Mu Xinhai's status as an elder is abolished and he is demoted to an outer sect deacon."
Although there are many unknowns about Mu Xinhai, Mu Qingling has not returned to the Mu family for such a long time, so the threat must not be that great.
Hearing this, many people in the Mu family frowned. They all knew that Mu Xin would definitely suppress Mu Hua and Mu Xinhai, but they didn't expect it to happen so soon.
Mu Li suddenly said, "The master of the family is wise."
With Mu Li taking the lead, other people in the Mu family also spoke up.
"The head of the family is wise."
Soon, Mu Xin arranged many things for the Mu family.
After everyone left, Mu Xin sat alone in the hall with a smug smile on his face.
"Mu Hua, you probably didn't expect this, did you?"
"You should be grateful for my return to the Mu family, but you actually dared to suppress me. If you hadn't done that, I wouldn't have done such a ruthless thing."
Mu Xin's face was full of pride, but he was still a little hesitant before doing this.
But after he sat in this position, Mu Xin only enjoyed himself. Although he was the chief elder before and second only to the other elder in the clan, he was still under pressure from others.
Now he is the boss of the Mu family, and this feeling is so comfortable.
Suddenly.
The void suddenly trembled, a crack in the void opened, and a figure in a black robe slowly walked out.
"Master Mu, you seem to be enjoying it."
Hearing this familiar voice, the smile on Mu Xin's face instantly disappeared. He immediately sat up from his chair and knelt down respectfully towards the man in black robe.
"Greetings, sir."
