Chapter 22: Temple of Talent



It was already late when they finished selecting the medicines, so they stayed in the medicine garden tonight.

There are people in the medicine garden who specialize in making medicinal food. The medicinal food they make is very delicious. Mu Lingjiu ate several bowls in a row.

After eating, there are ginger candies and various desserts.

Mu Lingjiu ate it all up without realizing it.

Looking at the empty plate, Mu Yuzhi smiled and said, "So Jiu'er likes sweets."

She likes to eat sweets, and the only people who know about this are her and Lolo. Her relatives in her previous life didn't seem to have noticed her preference. They only knew that she was not picky about food and could eat any kind of food.

Mu Lingjiu nodded without blushing or getting nervous, and admitted it frankly.

"Um."

Fourth uncle waved his folding fan and smiled, "It just so happens that I have a dessert shop. I'll take Jiu'er there tomorrow."

"Will we be able to make it tomorrow? I plan to take Jiuer to experience picking herbs tomorrow." Mu Yuzhi said.

"So, Jiu'er, do you want to pick herbs or go to the dessert shop?" Mu Yushang asked in a slightly seductive voice.

Mu Lingjiu's throat choked, and the word dessert kept popping up in her mind.

"I can also make desserts here." Before Mu Lingjiu made her choice, Mu Yuzhi said, "We also have medicinal desserts that you can't find anywhere else."

Mu Lingjiu finally chose to stay.

Mu Yushang glared at Mu Yuzhi unconvincedly: "It doesn't matter, it's only for one day. When we return to the city, I'll take our Jiu'er to eat!"

Mu Yufeng couldn't join in on the conversation, sighing anxiously and coughing violently, trying to draw everyone's attention to him. Isn't boxing fun?!

Until Mu Lingjiu said to him: "Next time, watch Third Uncle boxing."

Mu Yufeng stopped coughing then.

At dusk, the people working in the medicine garden went back to their rooms to rest, and no one came to disturb them.

Mu Lingjiu sat in the medicine garden and meditated, thinking about how to manage the beast tribe next.

She selfishly wanted to take good care of these people from the Beast Tribe.

Her cultivation level is not very high now, so she cannot make rash advances. She needs to consolidate her foundation and improve step by step.

So Mu Lingjiu practiced sword all night.

After meditating for an hour in the morning, I got up and went to pick herbs with my fifth uncle.

It was said that they were collecting herbs, but in fact they were teaching Mu Lingjiu to identify poisonous herbs.

Mu Lingjiu knew a lot about poisons in her previous life, but she was not proficient in them, so she listened very carefully. This was new knowledge to her.

Seeing that she was listening attentively, Mu Yuzhi spoke even more seriously.

The day passed quickly, and Mu Lingjiu and his uncles returned to the Mu family the next day.

As soon as I arrived at the Mu family, I saw Mu Cheng and his men confronting the servants of General Mu's mansion.

Mu Cheng rode on his horse and said arrogantly, "Give up your resistance immediately, and I will spare your lives. Now that Mu Lingjiu is dead, I should be the master of the Mu family. Your resistance is really unnecessary."

The guards, housekeepers and maids in the Mu Mansion were all specially selected by the uncles. They were all loyal and naturally would not believe a few words from Mu Cheng.

"Master Mu, we have been ordered to guard the Mu family. We will not let you in until the young lady returns."

Mu Feng'er beside him sneered, "Don't you understand what I'm saying? I told you he's dead, how can you come back?"

The stewards and guards of the Mu Mansion still refused to give in, and the maids in the mansion also held weapons, ready to fight to the death at any time.

"Master Mu, you'd better go home! We won't let you in."

Mu Cheng's face immediately darkened, "If you don't accept my toast, you'll have to drink the wine!"

He raised his right hand and waved it, signaling his subordinates to take action.

The people Mu Cheng brought with him were all transferred from the Second Prince's Mansion, and their cultivation was much stronger than that of ordinary servants.

But he didn't expect that he would be knocked to the ground by the steward and guards of the Mu Mansion as soon as they met.

Mu Cheng was shocked. He thought he could easily take down this group of people, but he never expected it to be so difficult.

The scene was a little awkward for a moment.

Mu Feng'er glanced at Mu Cheng anxiously, "Dad, what should we do? Do you want to do it yourself?"

Mu Cheng's own cultivation level is the seventh level of spiritual master, so he has no problem beating ordinary servants, but he is not sure if he can beat this group of extraordinary servants.

Just as Mu Cheng was hesitating, the guards and stewards of the Mu Mansion rushed out.

"Dad, please do it quickly!" Mu Feng'er urged.

Mu Cheng gathered his energy and slapped out with his palm. However, due to years of pampering, Mu Cheng's fighting ability was really worrying, and the palm missed.

Seeing the guards of the Mu Mansion rushing out, Mu Cheng immediately rode away, leaving Mu Feng'er where he was.

"Dad!" Mu Feng'er shouted loudly.

Mu Cheng glanced back and said soothingly as he ran, "I'll go get some help, just hold on."

Mu Feng'er stared at the fleeing Mu Cheng with eyes wide open, full of disbelief. How could her father, who loved her the most, abandon her?

Mu Cheng was about to gallop out of the street on his horse when the horse suddenly neighed and jumped up.

Mu Cheng turned over, stood still in panic, raised his head and met a pair of cold black eyes.

"What is Lord Mu doing?" Mu Lingjiu asked.

Mu Cheng's throat choked, "You, you..." Why didn't you die?

Mu Lingjiu raised his head slightly and looked at Mu Feng'er who was captured not far away, and smiled.

It was a very cold smile, and Mu Cheng felt cold all over in an instant.

Mu Lingjiu became even more terrifying after going crazy.

Mu Cheng was carried by Mu Yufeng like a chicken back to the gate of the Mu Mansion and thrown in front of Mu Feng'er.

"You, what are you going to do?" Mu Cheng finally reacted and shouted.

"Come here, please ask Master Mu to sit somewhere cooler."

Soon, Mu Cheng was hung at the door of the Mu Mansion, with the cold wind blowing.

"Mu Lingjiu! Put me down!" Mu Cheng shouted with a red face.

Mu Lingjiu remained unmoved and his eyes fell on Mu Fenger.
