870 Mu Hanyan's various "bad deeds"
The spacious conference hall was solemn, and an old man with white hair sat side by side with Mu Beichen.
The old man was dressed in a coarse cloth robe, and although he was full of white hair, his complexion was ruddy and shiny, and he looked vigorous.
But at this time, the old man was angry, and if he looked closely, his hand holding the teacup was trembling slightly, obviously trying his best to suppress the anger in his heart.
"Elder Tai, don't worry, the token is still in the mansion, and it should be found soon. The three elders were soaked in cold sweat and said tremblingly.
"I can find it this time, but what about next time?" said Elder Tai coldly.
If it weren't for the fact that Mu Chengxuan was his only disciple, and the third elder was Mu Chengxuan's own grandfather, he was afraid that he would kick the third elder out earlier.
"No...... There will be no next time. The third elder stammered.
"In vain, I have high hopes for you, this is the first time that this Elder Order has been handed over to you, and such a big Lou Zi has been stabbed, how can I rest assured that the token will be handed over to you again. Elder Tai said with hatred that iron is not made of steel.
This Elder Order is the ancestral heirloom of the Mu family, although the power represented by the token is not the family master order, but it is of great significance, and the status of the family master order symbolized by it is even more transcendent.
If one day, Elder Tai handed over the token to others, which undoubtedly proves that Elder Tai sees him as a person, and it also means that he has the idea of passing on the throne.
For the members of the clan, this is a great honor, as long as they receive the order of the elder and ascend to the sky in the clan, even if they cannot take over the position of the elder in the future, they have a great hope of winning the position of the head of the family.
However, as an elder, this token is not something that can be handed over to others casually, after all, the stakes are very high, and if it is not recognized by the vast majority of elders, even the elder can't go his own way.
The reason why Elder Tai looked at the Third Elder was actually because of Mu Chengxuan, who lived for nearly two hundred years before accepting his only disciple, and he was very pampered.
Since he chose Mu Chengxuan, of course he is quite satisfied with his qualifications and temperament, and his expectations for him are also high, and he wants to support him to ascend to the position of the head of the family, which is also a matter of satisfaction and pride for him.
However, Elder Tai did not think that he had too much selfishness, in his opinion, his disciples were so good, only by handing over the family to him could he hope to revitalize the family business and live up to the ancestors of the past generations.
However, since Mu Hanyan came back, Elder Tai felt that something was wrong. Although he has been in retreat for many years, he is not unaware of what is happening outside, and through Mu Chengxuan's mouth, he also knows a little about Mu Hanyan, and even how Mu Chengxuan was defeated by Mu Hanyan's hands, he knows it clearly.
In front of the master, Mu Chengxuan didn't dare to add oil and vinegar, what Elder Tai asked, what he answered, but when he answered, it was inevitable to avoid the important and light, so the names of Mu Daxuan, Mu Tearing Clothes, and Mu Loser fell into the ears of Elder Tai word for word.
After listening to Mu Hanyan's various "bad deeds", Elder Tai's impression of Mu Hanyan is simply a mess, the Mu family has been inherited for hundreds of thousands of years, I don't know how many ups and downs it has gone through to retain this foundation, if one day the family business is passed on to the hands of this kind of person, it is only a matter of time before the clan is destroyed, as an elder, how can he be worthy of the ancestors and ancestors?
In his mind, Mu Beichen summoned Mu Hanyan back to the sect family at the time, obviously for the Heavenly Destiny Astrolabe, and also wanted to take advantage of the big opportunity of the family to make Mu Hanyan emerge, as long as Mu Hanyan gains power, the position of the young master, the position of the future head of the family, does not it logically fall into his hands?
In order to achieve this goal, Mu Beichen must have tried his best, although the three elders also have some wisdom and strategy, but their status is still not the head of the family, and it is difficult to uphold justice for Mu Chengxuan.
Only by temporarily handing over the Order of the Tai Elder to the Third Elder can he take his status further and have the capital to compete with Mu Beichen.
However, the Fourth Elder and the Fifth Elder, as well as many worshippers, were at odds with the Third Elder, and they would definitely not agree to his decision, and he would not be able to go against the ancestral teachings.
Elder Tai thought about it, and finally came up with a way, on the grounds that next year was the period of the ranking tests of the major families, and he was in retreat all year round, for fear of delaying the major affairs of the clan, he handed over the order of the elder to the three elders, and asked him to temporarily serve as the elder when necessary. To put it bluntly, it is to cheer for the three elders.
The Fourth Elder and the Fifth Elder knew what Elder Tai had in mind, but they couldn't argue with it.
When he just got the order of the elder Tai, the three elders were overjoyed, and walked with their heads held high, as if the whole person had been raised a little, and the elders of the clan, who were originally wavering, also began to show favor to the three elders.
It's a pity that the three elders haven't been happy for a few days, and the token was actually lost!
Thinking about his own hard work, Elder Tai couldn't wait to slap this uncompetitive third elder to death.
"Seal the dust is incompetent, please punish the elder. The three elders looked sincerely frightened.
I was so hateful that I wanted to vomit blood: Who is so bold that he even dares to steal the order of the elder, the Mu family has so many valuable things, you don't steal anything, but you steal a token that can't be sold or used, is there something wrong with your brain?
Thinking of this, the three elders suddenly moved their hearts and quietly looked towards Mu Beichen. What is the purpose of Elder Tai handing over the token to him, a clear-eyed person can see it at a glance, of course it is impossible for Mu Beichen not to understand it.
Could it be that Mu Beichen sent someone to do it?
The three elders didn't think that Mu Beichen would do it himself, with his identity, there was no need to take such a risk, he could only send someone to do it, but the token was hidden extremely secretly, and the secret room seal was only known to his closest relatives, if Mu Beichen sent someone else to do it, it would be impossible to break his seal without any movement.
The three elders were suspicious, but no matter how they thought about it, they didn't feel right.
Could it be that there is another hidden reason for this, or that other families are deliberately provoking the internal strife of the Mu family? Or, is it that the stupid thief was too lucky and opened the seal by mistake? The three elders can't figure it out, they can't figure it out.
Mu Beichen glanced at the two of them lightly, and he didn't even bother to speak.
He is not a fool, how could he not see the little tricks between the Tai Elder and the Third Elder, but his heart is very disapproving.
They really thought that they had recruited Hanyan back to the clan for the position of the head of the family, and they really lived the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and they were too young for the potential of their precious granddaughter.
If it weren't for the ancestral training, there were some things that even Elder Tai couldn't reveal before the time came, and he would have made it clear long ago, so why would there be so much trouble.
