"Xiao Daoyou, don't you mind letting you collect some interest on your remuneration first?"

Mu Xici unhurriedly used secret words to transmit the voice to Xiao Yichen beside him.

Speaking of which, if the other party does not cooperate, it will greatly reduce the feasibility of her plan.

Xiao said at this time that he minded, is it still useful. Xiao Yichen smiled and replied in a secret language, "Don't worry, Xiao's help is not in vain." ’

The degree of cooperation of Peach Blossom Eyes made Mu Xici secretly surprised, and she thought that the other party would take the opportunity to knock on it. It's not that the sun hits the west and comes out.

When a few people came to the door of the main hall, Mu Chennan turned around and looked at the three people behind him: "Xi Ci, Doctor Sima is a frequent visitor to the Mu family, but who is this little Taoist friend next to you?"

After all, the main hall of the Mu family is one of the most important places in the Mu family, how could Mu Xici not know what the other party meant.

As the so-called military land, idlers are not allowed to enter. Mu Chennan must have something to say, but he is afraid that something will happen.

But knowing is knowing, Mu Xici can't let the other party get his wish. I saw her explain enthusiastically: "This is a friend that my niece met when she was going down the mountain to practice, but she didn't see her for many years but she happened to meet her on the way home, so she invited him to come to her house as a guest. ”

Mu Xici explained this paragraph, and what he said was the same as what he didn't say. Mu Chennan listened to it for a long time, but he didn't hear half a sentence related to the identity of this little Taoist friend.

Could it be that the other party didn't understand what he meant.

The depression on his face disappeared in a flash, Mu Chennan smiled kindly, but the figure standing in front of the gate of the main hall did not have the slightest intention of backing down: "This is also fate, so I should invite you to sit in the family." This Doctor Sima must have come to you to specially invite you to see your mother. Niece, you go back to Songwu City. I went to find Dr. Sima, and I had a heart. ”

"My niece was just a coincidence. It's just that I have to trouble Dr. Sima to help Xici take a look at how my mother's condition is. ”

As soon as the words fell, Mu Chennan beckoned and beckoned the guards on both sides of the main hall: "Since my niece is anxious, I have to trouble Doctor Sima." You two, take Dr. Sima to the courtyard of Xiqi. Be sure to send the doctor and come back to your life. ”

"Yes! Two sturdy men dressed in navy blue servant costumes stood beside Doctor Sima as ordered, waiting quietly like two mountains.

"Physician Sima. ”

Doctor Sima glanced at Xiao Yichen. He nodded to Mu Xici again. Only then did he calmly reply: "In this way, it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate." After all, it is still the condition of the injured that is the most important, Patriarch Mu, I will go first. ”

Mu Chennan saw Doctor Sima leave. Somewhat relieved. I exchanged a few words back and forth with Mu Xici. But this girl doesn't know which tendon is wrong today. I couldn't hear what he meant.

He asked over and over again, but he didn't get a word of information from Mu Xici's mouth. I had to assume in my heart that this monk was a disciple of the Four Sects.

I'm afraid that the people inside can't wait.

Looking at the cold midday sun, Mu Chennan finally decided to make a compromise. "Evening farewell. When the elders of the clan heard that you were back, they all wanted to take a good look at you, so they also rushed over together. Let's go in now, so that we don't have to wait in a hurry. ”

"Yes. They all obey the orders of the uncle. ”

Mu Xici followed, smiled at Xiao Yichen, and made a gesture of please.

But Xiao Yichen, who was standing on the left, stroked his sleeves and followed as he said.

This Mu Chennan went around in a big circle, just to let Xiao Yichen and Doctor Sima avoid suspicion. Mu Xici only separated Doctor Sima, leaving Xiao Yichen behind.

Doctor Sima and the Mu family are too familiar with each other, and they can almost be said to look up and not look down. With him here, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the old men of the Mu family to perform. But an unknown Xiao Yichen may make them have a lot less to worry about.

Besides, without peach blossom eyes, how can she sing this play.

When the three of them entered the door, they saw that there were already more than twenty clan elders standing in the hall, who were probably thousands of years old.

As soon as Mu Xici entered the door, the old men who usually had their eyes above the top stared at the rising star of the Mu family with their eyes like torches.

Among them, less than half of them have reached the foundation building period, and even if they do, they are only in the early stage of foundation building. When he saw Mu Xici's cultivation, Gu Du was taken aback.

In particular, one of the old men directly said "Ah!"

While this group of people were observing Mu Xici, although she did not raise her head to look at everyone out of respect, the corner of her eyes swept the entire hall.

Although Mu Xici didn't stay in Mu's house for a long time, he was locked in the courtyard most of the time. But she could still recognize a few of them, brothers who were the same mother as her father.

In addition to the eldest uncle Mu Chennan and the second uncle Mu Chenhui, even the third uncle Mu Chenfu, who was doing business in Yancheng, and the fourth uncle Mu Chentong, who was traveling abroad, were all standing in the crowd.

This group of people gathered here so quickly and completely, which made Mu Xici feel a sense of trance. Didn't she just arrive in Songwu City and the Mu family learned the news?

There were doubts in his heart, but there was a look of joy and excitement on his face to return home, and he hurriedly made a big gift: "Xi Zi Mu Xi Ci, I have seen all the elders." ”

This salute woke up most of the elders who were still in shock. There were a few coughs in the field, and everyone nodded pretending not to care, looking at Mu Chennan, who had already walked to the top.

"Just go home at night. Come on, take a seat!" Mu Chennan took his seat first, and with a wave of his big hand, he ordered two more chairs to be carried and placed in the center of the hall.

After the elders took their seats one after another, Mu Xici glanced at Xiao Yichen and came to the center to take a seat.

Mu Chennan sat on the north side, and more than 20 elders sat on the east and west sides. In this way, the seats of Mu Xici and Xiao Yichen were as if they were deliberately placed in the middle for everyone to observe, forming an excellent training situation.

Sure enough, as soon as Mu Xici sat down, an old man with white hair asked aloud: "I don't know if the combination of these four factions is different from a few decades ago, Xici, you can talk to us old men." ”

"Yes. The combination of these four factions is still according to the previous practice, and only disciples who have reached the tenth level of Qi cultivation or more can participate. And in the secret place where the four factions are combined......"

talked about the general situation of the four factions at a glance, and Mu Xici did not add oil and vinegar, nor did he say the opportunities and dangers in it.

Such an answer was clearly not what the elders wanted.

"Little niece, where is the secret place?" A short and fat middle-aged man had a gleam in his eyes after hearing this, his eyes rolled slightly, and he couldn't wait to ask.

This person is Mu Xici's third uncle who is a merchant in Yancheng. Back then, he stood by Mu Chennan's side, and suppressed Mu Xici and his mother very closely, and from time to time people deducted their share. She hadn't forgotten it.

After pondering for a while, Mu Xici shook his head suspiciously: "At the beginning, my niece was still the blessing of Shui Yun Pavilion, and she went to the secret place with them. But I don't know the exact direction. ”

"What kind of discipline is the combination of the four factions, you can tell me. ”

"Are the tarantulas in the secret place still in Hopeless Mountain?"

"Has the terrain in the secret land changed?"

"How to get the first place, also tell us in detail. ”……

A group of old men asked this and that, and the whole main hall was like a noisy bazaar for a while, with all kinds of questions.

Xiao Yichen sat in his seat with a smile undiminished, his eyebrows were slightly raised, but the action of holding his sleeves was not broken. It looks like he is happy on his face, and he doesn't know what he feels in his heart.

And Mu Xici, who was sitting next to him, thought and sighed for a while, answering the questions asked by everyone one by one. I don't know if it's true or not, but I'm very patient and serious.

Mu Chennan, who had been watching for a while, nodded secretly and thought that the time was almost up.

It seems that this Mu Xici is still the same as the original appearance of the Mu family, even if he has gone up in cultivation, this character cannot be changed. Touching the beard on his lips, he gave a look to Mu Chenfu who was on the lower left.

Seeing the hint of the eldest brother, Mu Chenfu immediately put aside everyone's questions and asked in a loud voice: "I don't know what kind of rare thing the rewards of these four major sects are, my niece is willing to take it out to open our eyes." ”

As soon as these words came out, the main hall fell silent for a moment. Everyone stared at Mu Xici suspiciously and excitedly, hoping that the other party could come up with some heavenly and earthly treasures to let them see each other for a long time.

Just kidding, the disciples of the four major factions of the Southern Cao Kingdom combined, how bad can this reward be? Presumably handed over to their Mu family, it can be passed on for several generations.

It's finally here.

Mu Xici thought so, and pretended to be particularly embarrassed for a long time before he said softly: "My niece was injured in the secret place and recuperated in the sect for two years. Xu is the head forgot ......"

Before he finished speaking, Mu Chenfu hurriedly interrupted the other party: "The reward of the first place in these four major sects actually failed to get it? ”

"Hey, third brother, don't worry, these three Qing pavilions are one of the four major factions of the Southern Yao Kingdom, how can the disciple be negligent in rewarding him if he takes the leader. It must have been the hurry of the child's return, so the reward had not yet reached her. Mu Chennan smiled and blocked it with his hand, and his tone was full of admiration for Sanqing Pavilion.

"Just as the uncle said, the niece woke up and felt homesick, so she hurriedly returned to Songwu City, forgetting about the reward. ”

If the third uncle didn't mention the reward, Mu Xici really forgot about this stubble. But deducting the reward, I'm afraid that with the big style of the Sanqing Pavilion, it will never be possible.

Of course, she is not afraid that this reward will not be issued. With a cheap master, even if the head of Xuanyuan wants to detain it, he has to weigh whether his Sanqing Hall is strong enough.

"What the eldest brother said is that I was reckless. Mu Chenfu patted his head, but his tone was not relaxed at all: "According to the rules of previous years, the disciple who won the first place in the combination of the four factions, in addition to the rich reward, can also make a request to the sect."
