The eyes of the middle-aged man in purple robes became more and more gloomy, and he smiled sarcastically: "Haha, Mu Lingyun, your Mu family is very powerful. Since you think that you can gather a thousand people without the help of my Cao family, then I, Cao Then I took my leave."
He was not afraid that Mu Lingyun would really attack him, and his words were extremely sarcastic.
After that, he waved his purple-sleeved robe, straightened his body and led everyone and the boxes of gold and silver jewelry in the hall away.
"Go slowly and don't send me away!"
Mu Lingyun's tone was equally unkind.
But anger was anger, and he finally suppressed the anger in his heart.
If he takes action against Cao Mang, it will be a fight between the Mu family and the Cao family, two big families. By then, the Mu family will be deep in the quagmire of fighting with the Cao family, let alone gathering the thousand people in half a month, which will be even more difficult.
After receiving Mu Lingyun's instructions, the Mu family servants who had originally surrounded the entrance of the hall stepped aside.
After all the visitors from the Cao family had left, Mu Lingyun waved the servants away.
After suppressing the anger in his heart, Mu Lingyun couldn't help but have a sad look on his face.
The relationship between the four major families was not good. Although they seemed to be polite on the surface, as the real helmsman of the Mu family, he was very aware of the undercurrents.
He was able to find the Cao family this time because he learned that the eldest son of the Cao family was interested in Mu Hongling, so he thought to see if he could use this relationship to get the Cao family to help.
But things went far beyond his expectation. The Cao family actually relied on this to threaten him and wanted him to marry Mu Hongling.
He couldn't tolerate this.
As the head of the Mu family, he knew very well the character of the eldest son of the Cao family.
Eat, drink, whore and gamble, nothing left behind.
Not only was Mu Hongling unwilling to do so, but it was impossible for him as a father to agree.
"I'm sorry, Daddy."
At this time, Mu Hongling in the audience moved her red lips slightly, her pretty face full of apologies.
"It's okay. Dad knows what they are thinking. You have to know that only my Mu family is a famous family in the Qixing Tomb and the Cloud Shadow Continent. The Cao family can only be the king and hegemon in the Seven Star Tomb. , even if you agree to marry him, dad will not agree."
Seeing that Mu Hongling was a little aggrieved, Mu Lingyun quickly comforted her.
He is very precious to his only daughter, holding it in his mouth for fear of melting, holding it in the palm of his hand for fear of falling, and cannot bear to see her suffer any injustice.
Hearing this, Mu Hongling's aggrieved pretty face slowly relaxed, and she couldn't help but feel a warm current flowing through her heart. She bit her teeth lightly and said, "Thank you, dad."
For her father, she could deeply feel the love he gave.
Mu Lingyun shook his head slowly, and then looked at Lin Beichen who was standing next to Mu Hongling.
When he thought of Lin Beichen, who dared to hold his precious daughter's waist and touch her belly just now, a strange look appeared on his face.
"hey-hey…"
In response, Lin Beichen could only smile awkwardly in return.
Who made this little girl threaten me just now? This is a lesson...
When Mu Hongling saw Mu Lingyun staring at Lin Beichen so directly, she couldn't help but recall Lin Beichen's outrageous behavior just now. She immediately blushed and lowered her head unconsciously.
Being so intimate with a man in front of her father, as a girl, she was naturally shy.
"By the way, Master Mu, if the Cao family refuses to help, aren't there two other major families?" Lin Beichen seemed to have remembered what happened just now, and quickly broke the weird atmosphere in the hall.
Mu Lingyun couldn't help but sigh heavily, shook his head slowly, and said, "I've searched all over, but no one is willing to help."
Lin Beichen was stunned for a moment, with a look of confusion on his face, and then asked: "Don't they want to leave this ghost place?"
"A ghost place?"
Mu Lingyun laughed dumbly.
"As I said just now, except for my Mu family, which has a famous family in Yunying Continent, the first-generation ancestors of the other three major families who were exiled are all unknown people in Yunying Continent."
"The first generation ancestor of my Mu family who was exiled is a member of the Mu family in the southern region of Yunying Continent, and the strength of this family is also a powerful one in the southern region. This is what our ancestors left behind. It is recorded in the ancestral teachings handed down.”
"Like our Mu family, if we leave the Qixing Tomb and return to the Cloud Shadow Continent, we can still return to the Mu family in the Southern Territory to recognize our ancestors."
"But if their other three major families also follow back to the Cloud Shadow Continent, they will completely lose their dominance."
"You have to know that there is no spiritual energy in the Tomb of Seven Stars. We are just ordinary mortals with no cultivation and only a lot of gold and silver treasures."
"But these things are only useful to mortals. Once they return to Cloud Shadow Continent, these things will not be of much use."
"So, leaving the Tomb of Seven Stars is not important to them. Even after they go back, their status will plummet."
As he said that, Mu Lingyun couldn't help but draw a wry smile at the corner of his mouth.
Before visiting the three major families, he also thought about this possibility, but he had a trace of luck in his heart.
I feel that these three major families may not only be content with the status quo, but are willing to just be the local overlords of the Seven Star Tomb.
But after the visit, he gave up. He overestimated their ambition.
Hearing this, Lin Beichen couldn't help but fell into silence for a while. After a long time, he asked with some confusion: "I heard from Miss Mu that Qixing Tomb has a population of about 500,000. Is it difficult to gather these 1,000 people?" ?”
Hearing this, Mu Lingyun was stunned for a moment, and then started to explain: "It is not difficult to gather these thousand people, but with the financial resources of my Mu family, it is a little difficult to do it."
"Don't these people even make money?"
Lin Beichen's face froze slightly, a little unbelievable.
Although the value exchange items used by cultivators and ordinary people are different, one thing is the same: both cannot avoid the desire for wealth.
Just like the old man Yin Jue, for those Xu Lingjing, he can do all the big and small things for Long Aotian.
"It's not that I don't want to make money, it's that many people don't dare to make money. I don't know who leaked the news and told everything about what happened in Sun Moon Lake. Those who originally wanted to sign up are now deterred because of fear." Mu Lingyun said softly. He sighed and then continued:
"Before I left the Mu family yesterday, I ordered the housekeeper to put up a notice, promising that those who sign up will receive one hundred taels of silver. If they die unfortunately, their family members can receive two hundred taels of silver on their behalf. This is the current limit of my Mu family. "
"You must know that these one hundred taels of silver are enough for an ordinary family to spend ten years. But even so, until the Cao family arrived just now, there were only more than twenty people who came to sign up."
"If this trend continues, there will still be some distance between us and the number of 1,000 people in half a month."
"If the bounty can be increased a little more, maybe more people will dare to sign up. Unfortunately, with the financial resources of our Mu family, we can only extend the bounty to this point."
Mu Lingyun sighed quietly, and the sadness on his face became a little more serious.
"Is this like this..."
After listening to Mu Lingyun's explanation, Lin Beichen couldn't help but lower his head and ponder.
"Master Lin, what should we do now?"
Mu Hongling's pretty face at this moment also had a slightly sad look like Mu Lingyun's.
More importantly, she felt that it was because of her presence that the relationship between the Mu family and the Cao family was so tense.
She knew in her heart how much her father, the leader of the Mu family, wanted to leave the Seven Star Tomb and return to the Cloud Shadow Continent to recognize his ancestors.
With Lin Beichen's silence, the atmosphere in the hall fell into silence for a while.
After a moment, Lin Beichen slowly raised his head and asked tentatively: "In the entire Seven Star Tomb, besides your Mu family, are there any other families or people who were the first generation to be exiled here? Ancestor, was he once famous in Yunying Continent?"
"Well..." Mu Lingyun lowered his head and pondered for a while, then raised his head and said, "Yes, there are, but I don't know many people."
"That would be easy. Just send someone to post a notice in a conspicuous place throughout the Seven Stars Tomb."
"Hmm... Just write on the notice that once the dragon in Sun Moon Lake is wiped out, they can return to the Cloud Shadow Continent, recognize their ancestors and regain the glory of their ancestors."
"Hmm... By the way, there is another sentence on the notice. Yunying Continent is a country that respects the realm of cultivation. After returning to Yunying Continent, you can become a strong person through your own efforts and practice, and you will no longer be subject to Others oppress.”
Lin Bei put his hand on his chin and expressed what he was thinking.
The three major families don't want to leave, that's because the benefits they get here are far greater than those from leaving the Cloud Shadow Continent.
But some ordinary people don’t think like this. They are just ordinary mortals in the Tomb of Seven Stars. Rather than being governed by the four major families and some large and small families in the Tomb of Seven Stars, it is better to go out to the Cloud Shadow Continent. Practice hard and live a different life.
As long as these people have this idea, everything is fine.
"Okay, I will instruct the butler to take care of this matter."
Mu Lingyun nodded slightly, then raised his legs to leave.
"etc."
Lin Beichen suddenly spoke up.
Mu Lingyun paused for a moment, then looked at Lin Beichen in confusion.
"One more thing, you can add one more. If you can't find the ancestral clan power in Yunying Continent, you can come to me to get a copy of the exercises for practice."
Lin Beichen said slowly.
