Chapter 11 Undercurrent
"Father, are you looking for me?" Mu Hong asked as he walked in.
"Yes!" Mu Yuanhang nodded and looked at Mu Hong with a gentle smile on his face.
"Is there anything wrong?" Mu Hong asked.
"Mu Chen's personality has changed a lot recently. I feel a little uneasy." Mu Yuanhang said with a frown.
When he heard Mu Chen's name, a trace of disgust flashed across Mu Hong's eyes.
"Father, what are you worried about? Mu Chen has been in a hopeless state for more than ten years, and is only a seven-star martial artist now. Do you think he will suddenly become strong?" Mu Hong said disapprovingly.
Mu Yuanhang shook his head and said disapprovingly, "Don't underestimate him. Mu Chen's talent was originally excellent, but he just abandoned it. If he had worked as hard as you, he would probably be ahead of you by now."
A sinister look flashed across Mu Hong's eyes. "I understand, father."
…………
Mu Chen stayed in the training room, combing his meridians over and over again.
This guy Mu Chen has no ambition and has messed up his body. He has wasted his good talent.
Mu Chen practiced the Tongmai Jue and spent seven days to clear up the blocked areas in his body one by one. Although his strength was still at the level of a seven-star martial artist, he looked completely new.
"Brother Chen, you've kept me waiting for so long!" As soon as Mu Chen came out of seclusion, Mu Hong appeared.
When Mu Chen looked at Mu Hong, he couldn't help but feel more alert. Although Mu Yuanfeng and Mu Yuanhang were brothers, they had a lot of open and secret fights in secret. Similarly, although Mu Hong was Mu Chen's cousin, he always regarded Mu Chen as an enemy in his heart.
All along, Mu Hong has been secretly jealous of Mu Chen's talent, while at the same time disdaining Mu Chen's inaction.
"Cousin, do you have something to talk to me about?" Mu Chen asked.
"It's nothing big. There's a new gambling house opened in the city. Do you want to come with me and try your luck?" Mu Hong asked, patting Mu Chen's shoulder.
Mu Chen shook his head and said, "No need."
Mu Hong frowned and said, "What's wrong? Are you short of money? It's not that serious."
He knew that Mu Chen returned the sword and got more than 400 Yuanshi. According to how much Mu Yuanfeng doted on his son, it was impossible that he did not give Mu Chen Yuanshi when he came out of seclusion. Mu Chen should be well off now.
Mu Chen smiled faintly and said, "Money is a little tight."
Mu Hong looked at Mu Chen and said, "Money is tight. Brother Chen, you should save your Yuanshi to buy a gift for Zhuang Yu and prepare to give him a surprise!"
"Cousin, what are you thinking? I'm really short of money." Mu Chen said coldly.
Mu Hong said nonchalantly, "Alright, I don't know you well enough. If a man doesn't indulge in romance in his youth, Zhuang Yu is indeed a beauty."
Mu Chen sneered secretly and thought: Beauty? Is that a death warrant?
"By the way, the annual auction of Jiyue Auction House is about to begin. I heard that there is a bottle of ice lotus water for sale at this auction. If you give this thing to Zhuang Yu, Zhuang Yu will definitely like it. Who knows, he might be so happy that he will throw himself into your arms." Mu Hong showed a tacit smile to Mu Chen.
Muchen felt a chill in his heart. After the thousand-year-old snow lotus withered, all its medicinal properties were absorbed into the snow water, which then became ice lotus water. Ice lotus water was very precious, and naturally the price was not low. In the original text, Muchen did not hesitate to spend a fortune to please Zhuang Yu.
Zhuang Yu was grateful for Muchen's sincerity towards her, so she accepted the generous gift, but she still did not accept Muchen's feelings.
Mu Chen's eyelids twitched. Originally, Mu Chen spent eight thousand Yuanshi to buy the Ice Lotus Water. Where did Mu Chen get so many Yuanshi?
"Cousin, you're joking. The minimum price of Ice Lotus Water is probably two thousand Yuanshi. How can I afford it?" Mu Chen shook his head.
Mu Hong smiled mysteriously and said, "If you can't afford it, you can find a way!"
"Solution, what solution?" Mu Chen asked with pretended curiosity.
"I heard that Uncle Yuanfeng has recently refined a very good pill. If you steal the pill and sell it, you will definitely have enough Yuanshi." Mu Hong said proudly.
Mu Chen smiled and said, "So father recently refined a good pill? I really didn't know that."
