Chapter 52: Opportunity
Soon, Mu Zhen personally took the test crystal balls one by one, and it seemed that he was also very concerned about this matter.
Mu Fen glanced at Lin Yun quietly, both of them flashed with viciousness, Mu Fen was angry at Mu Shi for robbing him of his sister-in-law, and Lin Yun was even more resentful of Mu Shi's mother because of the matter of straightening the side room, the original owner was dead, and this hatred was naturally added to Mu Shi.
In the midst of resentment, there is a little jealousy. If Mu Shi really reached the ninth order apprenticeship as he himself said, then his talent was beyond doubt, and the Mu family would definitely accept Mu Shi again. This is unacceptable to the two of them, they tried their best to drive Mu Jiangbei out of the main house with complete disgust with Mu Shi, how could they give up all their efforts!
Under the eyes of the mother and son, there was a murderous aura tacitly.
"Boy, it's too late to retract the lie just now!" Mu Zhen sneered with the apprentice's test crystal ball.
Each level has a special test crystal ball, after all, the strength of any level is very different, and the crystal ball wants to accommodate the different energies of the next eight levels, which is obviously a bit reluctant.
"Then the elder has to check carefully, and don't say I'm cheating when the time comes." Mu Shi replied calmly, making Mu Zhenqi's teeth itch, and threw the transparent crystal ball to Mu Shi, "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up." ”
Suddenly, the eyes of the hall fell on the small crystal ball in Mu Shi's hand.
Mu Shi exhaled lightly, to control his elemental power to suppress at the level of the ninth order of the apprentice, it was still a little difficult for himself who had just been promoted to mage, so he could only do his best.
Holding the crystal ball in both hands, Mu Shi gently closed his eyes, and the faint cyan element began to condense with the whistling sound of the wind, pouring into the small sphere.
"How is the wind elemental?" Mu Zhen was stunned, the Mu family's inheritance is basically water and wood, and only the combination of side lines and others will give birth to other elemental powers. Mu Shi, as the son-in-law of the main family, shouldn't it be the wind system of the bull's head and the horse's mouth?
"Sure enough." Great Elder Mu Ze glanced at Mu Jiangbei, who was out of his mind, and his heart was clear, and he had more trust in his heart for what Mu Shi said.
A cyan whirlwind slowly formed in the crystal ball, and the sound of inhalation continued to sound in the hall, regardless of whether Mu Shi was a ninth-order apprentice or not, the formation of this whirlwind at least showed that Mu Shi had really awakened the power of the elements.
"Buzzing ......" The crystal ball continued to tremble and condense small whirlwinds, and the eyes of everyone in the Mu family widened, and they didn't dare to blink, for fear of missing something.
"One, two, three..."
"Five flowers......
"It can't be true......"
Even Mu Jiangbei opened his eyes, staring at the crystal ball in Mu Shi's hand, his eyes flickering and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Seven, eight!"
Mu Fen's original smile had disappeared, and he stared at Mu Shi with a gloomy face, his hands clenched tightly, obviously his mood was not calm at the moment.
"Nine flowers! It's really nine! Someone shouted uncontrollably, causing an uproar.
"How is that possible!" Mu Fen took a step back and muttered to himself, from a waste to a ninth-order apprentice in half a year? Is this human?
Mu Zhen was stunned when the five whirlwinds came out of Mu Shi's hand, and at this moment he rubbed his eyes and looked at the crystal ball in disbelief, "Am I dazzled?" ”
The Great Elder was also stunned, touched his beard and laughed, the talent of that clan was really terrifying, and it was really right to agree to Jiangbei to marry that woman at the beginning.
Mu Jiangbei also stood up, staring at Mu Shi's face tightly, the same element, the same terrifying talent, why did Mu Shi do this after thirteen years? Is this your punishment for me?
Mu Jiangbei closed his eyes and hid the pain under his eyes. Mu Shi didn't know that the elemental power she chose to expose by mistake was the same elemental power that her mother chose to use back then.
"Impossible! It's absolutely impossible! He must have used some kind of trick! Lin Yun stood up uncontrollably and pointed at Mu Shidao.
"This is the crystal ball that Elder Mu Zhen personally brought up, do you doubt that he will cheat on Mu Shi?" The Great Elder glanced at Lin Yun and said a little sternly. He had always disliked this woman, and if he hadn't given birth to a few good children, he wouldn't have allowed it until now.
Lin Yun was so blocked that he couldn't speak, and was pulled down by Mu Fen, so angry that his chest was turbulent.
"Huh? Why hasn't this little guy stopped? The Great Elder suddenly sighed softly, and looked at Mu Shi, whose body was trembling a little, and his eyes suddenly became strange.
No way......
"Damn, I can't hold it back." Mu Shi secretly complained in her heart, she overestimated the bearing capacity of this crystal ball, but she saw that Mu Shi's face was getting redder and redder, and the crystal ball in her hand had completely turned cyan, and she kept trembling, and finally exploded with a "bang".
There was silence.
What does it mean that the crystal ball is blown up? This indicates that the subject's energy has exceeded the limit of what the crystal ball can withstand.
In other words, Mu Shi's strength had already surpassed that of a ninth-order apprentice.
What a concept that! Dharma! Mu Shi is already a Dharma Master!
Thirteen-year-old Dharma practitioners are not uncommon, at least the direct lineage of the four major families have such strength. But Mu Shi, Mu Shi was a waste fool before.
"Hahaha, good, good!" After being stunned for a while, Great Elder Mu Ze couldn't help laughing, and patted Mu Shi on the shoulder with great satisfaction, the more he looked at it, the more pleasing it became, "This is not the same as the ninth-order apprentice you said." ”
Mu Shi opened his eyes and laughed dryly, "It may be that I encountered the beast tide when I came, and I died for a lifetime, and I broke through by luck under the stimulus, and I didn't notice it." ”
"Beast tide? You've hit a beast tide?! Even the Great Elder was not calm at this time, "Is it the recent beast tide in Jinyan City?" Thinking of Mu Shi's route, the Great Elder deduced it at once.
"yes, I almost lost my life." Mu Shi was a little surprised by the speed of the Great Elder's speculation, and nodded, "Thanks to the protection of the two senior brothers of the main family, we were able to escape into Jinyan City. ”
The others breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that someone was protecting, and if he escaped by himself, it would be too perverted.
The Great Elder's expression became solemn, he was very clear about the strength of Mu Ziqing and Mu Yang, and it was okay to say that he could barely escape, but it would be a bit nonsense to bring a Mu. Obviously, Mu Shi was hiding something.
But looking at Mu Shi's sincere eyes with a look of great fear and gratitude, Mu Ze couldn't help but have a headache, was this little guy's acting skills too good, or was he really thinking too much.
"Don't rejoice too soon." Mu Jiangbei recovered from the shock, and his cold tone softened a lot, "Although you have proved that you have the ability to stay in the Mu family, the predicament caused by you in the Mu family still exists. As he spoke, he looked at Mu Shi sternly, "If you can't solve this marriage contract with the royal family well, killing you to make amends is still the best way." ”
Mu Shi shrank his pupils suddenly, and then lowered his head silently, thinking about the current problem.
The marriage contract between the Mu family and the royal family was originally supposed to be a good conversation, but when it was made, it made the other three families jealous. It's a pity that Mu Shi was born a fool, and later pestered the imperial prince, which can be said to have offended the royal family.
The princess felt even more embarrassed, if it weren't for the strength of the Mu family, she would have withdrawn from the marriage and been convicted.
Now the princess has grown to thirteen years old, and as she grows older, she naturally becomes more and more dissatisfied with this marriage, crying, making trouble and hanging herself to ask for a divorce.
Can this be divorced?
Being divorced by the woman is such a shameful thing in Sui'an Continent, especially as a century-old family like the Mu family, it will be ridiculed by the other three families. If the Mu family asks to withdraw from the marriage, it will be no different from a divorced princess, and it will be a slap in the face of the princess.
The Mu family is also in a dilemma, and I don't know how many people are waiting to see the Mu family's jokes.
As the pressure exerted by the royal family increased, the high-level members of the Mu family planned to secretly dispose of Mu Shi after discussion, causing the illusion of accidental death. When a person dies, the marriage contract is automatically extinguished, so there is nothing to say. So Mu Tianlin, who already looked down on Mu Shi, directly asked Mu Yu to kill him after getting a hint from the master's family.
Originally, everything was planned, but who would have thought that Mu Shi would not die, and even revert to a normal person and awaken the power of the elements!? All this disrupted the plan of the main family, and the destruction of the Zhao family was even more than they expected, and they wanted to take the opportunity to let Mu Shi be a shield to solve the matter, but they didn't expect Mu Shi to hide by himself.
After several failures, the master had no choice but to decide to recall Mu Shi and make plans.
When Mu Shi was silent, the elders of the Mu family also looked at each other and discussed something in a whisper. Finally, the Great Elder stood up and cleared his throat, and the originally noisy hall immediately fell silent.
"Actually, we got the news before that the Zhao family sent someone to intercept and kill Mu Shi." The Great Elder sighed, "The meaning of the elder group is not to interfere, if Mu Shi dies, he will directly ask the Zhao family, and he will also dissolve the marriage contract with the royal family." The cruel words came out directly, even Mu Shi's heart couldn't help but tremble slightly, it seemed that he was in the master's house, and he really only had this last bit of value left.
"But Mu Shi proved to us that he is qualified to live in the Mu family." The Great Elder glanced at Mu Shi and saw that he didn't show any emotion at all because of his words, so he couldn't help but nodded, "So the Elder Group decided to give him a chance." As long as he can solve the problem of marriage contract on his own, he is eligible to live in the Lord's house. ”
Mu Shi pursed her lips when she heard this, she was not rare to stay in the Mu family at all, if she hadn't reached a contract with the original soul to shame her, she would have gone somewhere else to wander.
However, others didn't think so, and for a while there was a lot of discussion, and the opposition accounted for most of them. Mu Fen stepped forward and showed a friendly smile, but there was no smile in his eyes, "Congratulations to the second brother"
Mu Shi was a little funny in his heart, obviously he couldn't hold it anymore, and he had to pretend to be generous and gentle, if this Mu Fen wasn't a little young and not strong enough, maybe he could really deceive him.
"Quiet, we only give Mu Shi half a month, we can't do it, we still have to solve it according to the original method." Mu Zhen yelled. Huh, the original way? Isn't that just for her to die?
Mu Shi sneered, swept around the inexplicable Mu family, and finally stopped at Mu Xue, the other party saw this, and nodded at himself with a quiet and well-behaved smile.
Mu Shi's eyes froze, this woman should not be underestimated.
