"Alas, how can you promise the Han family!" A helpless voice came from a quiet room.

It was a middle-aged man talking, and in front of him, a girl like Zhong Xiu was sitting.

The girl is about sixteen or seventeen years old, dressed in blue clothes, and does not cause any dust.

The coiled 3,000 green silk does not stain any dust, revealing a smooth and white neck.

The delicate body is concave and convex, with a little girlish youth and a hint of charm, obviously a beauty.

Hearing the middle-aged man's words, the girl's willow eyebrows furrowed slightly, looking a little cold and abrupt.

The middle-aged man is the contemporary head of the Mu family, Mu Lie.

And the girl in front of him is naturally his daughter, and she is also the proud daughter of the Mu family, Mu Hibiscus.

Mu Jin'er's beautiful eyes flowed, and she said lightly: "Father, our Mu family has been forced by the Han family to have no way out, if we don't agree, I'm afraid that within a year, our Mu family will be removed." ”

"Haven't you already been favored by Elder Hua of the Luoxia Sect and are ready to accept you as a personal disciple? Although Elder Hua didn't come to pick you up, if you went to Luoxia Sect, the Han family wouldn't have done this, right? Mu Lie seemed to think of something, and hurriedly asked.

Mu Jin'er shook her head slightly.

Luoxia Sect is a sect in the surrounding Wutong Empire, and its prestige spreads far and wide, and it has a lot of fame among the surrounding kingdoms.

And the Elder of the Luoxia Sect in Mu Lie's mouth is a strong Douwang who once passed by Yujing City half a year ago, heard the rumors of the Mu family's proud daughter of the sky, and was happy to see the hunt for a while, and immediately agreed to allow Mu Jin'er to join the Luoxia Sect, and was accepted by her into her own door.

However, since the elder still had a task to do, the Mu family waited for Elder Hua to return, and asked Elder Hua to lead Mu Jin'er to the Luoxia Sect.

And as soon as this news came out, it also shocked the entire Jade Crystal City.

The Mu family's Mu Hibiscus was able to become a disciple of the Luoxia Sect, especially a disciple of a strong Dou Wang, which gave life to the Mu family, which was already in the quagmire.

Because the previous head of the Mu family, who is also Mu Hibiscus's grandfather, the strongest nine-star Douling powerhouse in the entire Mu family, has fallen into a situation of seclusion, and this news leaked out, which immediately made the three major families start to secretly attack the entire Mu family.

But because of the existence of the Luoxia Sect and Elder Hua, the people who coveted it openly and secretly became extremely jealous.

Even the other two major families in Jade Crystal City have become much less targeted at the Mu family and have become extremely restrained.

However, as time passed, the Hua Elder of the Luoxia Sect did not hear from him, which made the people in Yujing City discuss one after another, and secretly discussed that the Mu family had offended the elder of the Luoxia Sect on the way, so he was abandoned by the Hua Elder.

At the same time, the Han family, one of the four major families, also hired a third-grade alchemist out of nowhere, and began to continuously suppress the Mu family's medicine business, resulting in the Mu family now losing tens of thousands of gold coins every month.

As for Mu Lie's promise to the Han family, it is that the son of the head of the Han family wants to marry Mu Hibiscus as his wife, if Mu Hibiscus agrees, he promises not to oppose the Mu family again, and let the Han family and the Mu family support each other, and at the same time give up two Fang cities to the Mu family, and the city lord will testify.

For today's Mu family, Mu Jin'er has no choice, if she doesn't agree, I'm afraid that the Mu family will inevitably be eaten up by the other three families one by one.

Especially what Han Li said when he saw Mu Hibiscus a few days ago: Elder Hua of the Luoxia Sect was besieged and fallen by the strong of the hostile forces when he was out on a mission.

This instantly shattered and disintegrated the only trace of luck in Mu Jin'er's heart.

As for letting her go to the Luoxia Sect alone and worship the sect, I'm afraid it will be a difficult problem for her to arrive safely.

No matter how strong the talent is, even if she has the ability to win the powerhouse, but it will take time to accumulate, but the Mu family no longer has the ability to give her a chance to grow steadily.

Three days later, it will be the coming-of-age ceremony of the Mu family, and at that time, the Han family will announce the engagement of Mu Jiner and Han Li with the Mu family.

A look of loneliness also flashed on Mu Lie's face.

"It's useless to blame me, I put the Mu family in such a situation, and I want my own daughter ......"

"Dad, it's not your fault." Hibiscus shook her head.

"The Han family has long coveted my Mu family, and we have a lot of friction on weekdays, but they are all petty fights. But as grandpa began to attack the realm of Douwang, the Han family's ambitions were no longer hidden, and they began to blatantly attack our Mu family. The value of a third-grade alchemist is self-evident, if they can hire a third-grade alchemist, our Mu family will have long lost the ability to resist. ”

Although Mu Jin'er's grandfather, Mu Yuanfeng, is in the realm of the Dou King, he knows it in the entire Jade Crystal City, and this is just a slightly beautiful statement.

Mu Yuanfeng's limit is approaching, if he doesn't impact the realm of Dou Wang, I'm afraid he will fall within a few years.

However, Mu Yuanfeng had already squeezed out his potential, and his qi and blood, spirit and body had already become exhausted, and this time he hit the realm of the Dou King, there was a mortality rate of nearly ninety percent.

Therefore, in the eyes of everyone, the Mu family has long lost the top combat power of Mu Yuanfeng, and without the Mu family where Mu Yuanfeng is in charge, the other three major families in Yujing City will naturally not let go of this opportunity to suppress the Mu family.

Even, if the time is ripe, they can wipe out the entire Mu family in one fell swoop, so that the Mu family, one of the four major families, will be removed from the list and disappear into Jade Crystal City.

This is also the reason why Mu Jin'er promised the Han family.

Mu Lie's palm clenched tightly, and a powerful energy suddenly appeared on his fist, and then smashed into the wooden column on the side.

Hearing only the sound of "Kacha", the corner of the cylinder instantly shattered, and sawdust flew sideways.

"It's just too deceitful!"

He Mulie is going to sacrifice his daughter one day in exchange for the so-called peace.

Now he can't wait to gather all the children of the Mu family and fight the Han family to the end, even if their Mu family is destroyed, they will gnaw a piece of the Han family's flesh and blood.

However, this may not be approved by the old fellows, and besides, as the head of the family, he is bound by the firm shackles, and he needs to advise his entire people to maximize their interests.

Now, when Mu Lie thought of the elders in the clan association, he agreed to the Han family's proposal without hesitation, and the anger in his heart became a little deeper.

He was making sacrifices for these guys, and they didn't know how to repay them, and this ugly act made him sick.

Pedal Pedal Pedal ~

A sound of footsteps interrupted Mu Lie's imminent outburst of anger, and at this moment, the voice of the guard sounded outside the door.

"Head of the house!"

Mu Lie frowned, then walked out of the room to see a guard in the courtyard.

"What's the matter, so flustered?"

"The head of the family, there is a first-grade alchemist, and he wants to ask to see the head of the family." The guard said truthfully.

"A pin alchemist?" Hearing this, Mu Lie frowned.

Although the situation of their Mu family is in danger, they are also one of the four major families, and the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse. The background of the Mu family is also far from being comparable to other small families.

In the Mu family, there are also several alchemists, among which there are three second-grade alchemists, and as for the first-grade alchemists, there are nearly ten.

However, for the current situation of the Mu family, those alchemists also have different hearts, and they are not optimistic about the fate of the Mu family, and even faintly show signs of wanting to leave.

But at this juncture, there was still an alchemist coming, what was the purpose of the other party?

"Have you ever seen that alchemist?" Mu Lie asked.

The guard shook his head.

"Invite them into the main hall, and I'll be there later." Mu Lie waved his hand and let the guards retreat.

"Dad, what's wrong?" Mu Jin'er slowly came to Mu Lie's side and asked softly.

Mu Lie shook his head and informed her about it.

However, for this news, Mu Jin'er only frowned slightly, obviously, he, like Mu Lie, was puzzled by the coming of this alchemist.

However, Mu Lie was not worried about anything, a first-grade alchemist couldn't afford to make any waves.

For a Dou Spirit Realm powerhouse like him, only a third-grade alchemist can arouse his respect, and even a second-grade alchemist will only symbolically give respect to the other party.

As for the first-grade alchemist, for the Dou Ling Realm, it seems that the status of the two cannot be equated.

……

When Mu Lie arrived at the main hall unhurriedly, he found that on the wooden chair, there was a young man who was similar to Mu Hibiscus, who was slowly drinking a teacup, and there was no one else.

It seems that the other party is the first-grade alchemist.

This made Mu Lie Tongkong condense slightly, he thought that the other party was at least a young man, but he didn't expect the other party to be so young.

Moreover, the other party was able to become a first-grade alchemist at such a young age, and I am afraid that there was also a master of alchemy behind him to teach, which made Mu Lie slightly solemn.

Moreover, although the other party was just sitting casually, he exuded an indescribable momentum on his body, and although Mu Lie's strength was not strong, he was also a genuine three-star fighting spirit powerhouse, but he found that he couldn't see through the young man in front of him, which surprised him.

"Hehe, Mu Lie, the head of the contemptible Mu family, I don't know what this alchemist Xiaoyou is called?" Mu Lie's eyes flashed slightly, and he said with a chuckle.

Tianxing also saw the person, a middle-aged man in his thirties and forties, dressed in a purple robe, with a solemn face, looking like he was not angry and arrogant, and the energy fluctuations faintly emanating from his body let Tianxing know that the realm of the person in front of him was a fighting spirit.

He had been away from Izumo for some time, and he was thinking of waiting for the natural fermentation of the Mu family's affairs in Yujing City, but the little medicine fairy was afraid that he would also devour the poison a few times during this time.

If it is quite frequent, even if Celestial Star has removed the toxins from her body before, but with the possibility of another outbreak of infection, Celestial Star wants to solve the matter here as soon as possible, and then return to Izumo.

Therefore, he came to the Mu family and wanted to solve these problems directly.

"Under the stars." Tianxing said slowly and concisely.

Mu Lie didn't care about Tianxing's slightly cold answer, but slowly came to the front of the first seat and sat down.

"I came here this time to ask the Mu family master about something." Tianxing said straight to the point.

Mu Lie, who was thinking about how to ask the other party what he had to do with the Mu family this time, was interested when he heard Tianxing take the lead in speaking.

"Oh, I wonder what the little friend of the stars wants to inquire about?"

Tianxing's fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop, pondered for a moment, and then spoke: "I wonder if the Mu family master has ever heard of the name of Songli Douhuang?" ”

"Songli Douhuang?" Mu Lie's face became a little solemn.

The other party actually asked him about a Douhuang powerhouse, which made him a little confused.

However, why does the name of this Douhuang powerhouse feel familiar?

Mu Lie suddenly frowned.

"To be exact, it should be nearly a hundred years ago, did the Mu family rescue a strong man named Songli Douhuang?" Tianxing reminded the other party.

When Mu Lie heard this, his Tong Kong Meng shrank.

He remembered that he seemed to have faintly heard from his father that their Mu family had saved a seriously injured person by coincidence ninety years ago.

They thought that the other party was just an ordinary person, but after the person recovered from his injuries, when he left the Mu family, he revealed his identity.

That person is a Douhuang powerhouse, and the other party is also a master of alchemy!

And his name is Songli Douhuang!

At that time, the Mu family was far less prosperous than it is now, but with some of the exercises and pills left behind by that Douhuang powerhouse, the Mu family also became one of the four major families in Jade Crystal City.

This matter seemed to have been recorded in their Mu family clan codex, and if it weren't for Tianxing's mention, he wouldn't have remembered this long-sealed secret at all.

However, why did the other party ask about Songli Douhuang?

Mu Lie's face was as calm as water, but his heart kept guessing.

Because he faintly remembered that Songli Douhuang was seriously injured, it seemed that he was chased and killed by the enemy, and was finally rescued by their Mu family after exhaustion.

Could it be that the person in front of him is the descendant of the enemy of Songli Douhuang, and this time he came to find the traces of Songli Douhuang?

Although this speculation is quite ridiculous, for the current Mu family, Mu Lie has to beware of this possibility.

"If you knew about it, everything would be easy. I am not enemies with Songli Douhuang, on the contrary, I have also received his favor, so you don't have to hide it. Tianxing said.

was debunked by the young man in front of him in one fell swoop, which made Mu Lie's old face blush.

But when he heard this, he was relieved.

In fact, even if the other party is really the enemy of Songli Douhuang, they can't hide this matter, because among the four major families, they used to know about it, but because of the passage of time, people gradually forgot about it.

After all, no one remembers what happened nearly a hundred years ago.

However, it was Tianxing's words that made Mu Lie a little puzzled.

Because it is extremely difficult for the human Douhuang powerhouse to survive for so long, why would Tianxing say that he had received the favor of the Songli Douhuang?
