Chapter 36: The Western Regions
"I... I didn't think about why my birthday party became like this..."Mu Qing said, with a little crying.
This is my brother's first birthday party by his side in the past few years, why did he mess it up...
Mu Chen looked at Mu Qing, touched her head and said, "It's okay, birthday party, let's go home again, and spend a real birthday with my family." ”
Mu Qing nodded heavily.
But who would have thought that after returning home.
"Ah Yu, do you really want to stand in line with Mu Rufeng?" Mu Rushan said with a gloomy face.
"You brothers discuss things, when did I Mu Ruyu participate? I won't be involved in your dispute this time. Mu Ruyu said.
She is actually on Mu Rufeng's side, but if she has a clear attitude, the Mu family will only put more pressure on Mu Rufeng, and it is actually good for Mu Rufeng to remain neutral now.
"This time is different, if you don't have a clear attitude this time, what's the difference between it and standing on Mu Rufeng's side?" Mu Rushan said.
"Moreover, are you still afraid that Mu Rufeng will not be able to retaliate? He is a person whose foundation is about to be wasted, what are you afraid of him doing? Mu Rushan continued.
Mu Ruyu shook his head and said, "I said that I wouldn't participate before, and I won't do it now." ”
"Then don't blame me for being strong!" After speaking, Mu Rushan angrily wanted to leave.
When he turned around, Mu Rushan and Mu Chen happened to bump into each other.
Mu Chen just looked at Mu Rushan and didn't say a word.
And Mu Rushan stared at Mu Chen, wishing to see through Mu Chen's whole body.
Seeing this, Mu Chen smiled: "Why are you looking at me like this, I'm standing in front of you, and you're going to beat me?" ”
Mu Rushan's face was dark, why didn't he want to fight, but he hadn't seen Mu Rulei kicking Mu Rulei in his father's lobby that day.
He and Mu Rulei are not much different in cultivation.
If you fight Mu Chen again, it's not a humiliation for yourself, but what are you doing.
"I advise you to hand over your opportunity as soon as possible, otherwise, although the Mu family is not as good as before, the anger of the Mu family is not something you can resist." Mu Rushan said with a gloomy face.
"Don't pay lip service, if you want to come to me, come directly, but if you don't kill me, you'll have to bear my wrath." Mu Chenfeng said lightly.
"Oh yes, if you want to put your hand on my relatives, I will destroy your Mu family." Mu Chen said again.
Hearing this, Mu Rushan smiled and said, "It's up to you?" I think you're going to be beheaded! ”
Just saying this, a sword aura on Mu Chen's body suddenly burst out, pointing directly at Mu Rushan's eyebrows.
Mu Rushan was horrified in his heart, and he mobilized his whole body to resist it, but when that sword qi reached a few inches away from Mu Rushan's eyebrows, it suddenly disappeared.
Seeing this, Mu Rushan's face suddenly darkened: This kid played himself, and he was tricked!
Looking at Mu Rushan's funny appearance, Mu Qing couldn't help laughing.
"Look at your funny look, what, do you only talk harshly?" Mu Chen said lightly.
Mu Rushan is a person in the government, where can he stand this kind of grievance, he rushed directly to Mu Chen, and even wanted to choke Mu Chen's throat directly.
Seeing this, Mu Chen smiled faintly, waved his robe, and a burst of energy burst out, directly sweeping Mu Rushan to the ground.
"Do you still remember what Mu Sinian said to Mu Rulei at that time? Isn't it a shame to be teased like this by a junior? Do you have to go up again to humiliate yourself? Mu Chen said lightly.
Mu Rushan's face was red and his neck was thick, but he didn't have anything to do.
This Mu Chen in front of him, he really can't beat it.
What to do?
Can only run......
"Wait and see, you just wait to accept the wrath of my Mu family!" Putting down the cruel words, Mu Rushan immediately ran away.
If other people in the government were to see Mu Rushan's embarrassed appearance, they would probably be surprised.
In the government, Mu Rushan is an extremely stable person, and now it seems that he is pretending.
After Mu Rushan left, Mu Ruyu looked at Mu Chen and said, "Don't worry, your aunt and I will definitely be on your side." ”
Mu Chen also smiled: "I believe in my aunt, but I have left the Mu family, and they still have to chase after me, which is really boring." ”
Mu Ruyu said: "Those people in the Mu family guess what big opportunities you have encountered over the years, and they all want to rob you of your opportunities." ”
Mu Chen smiled lightly, noncommittal.
However, these opportunities are not something that can be snatched away, these opportunities are engraved in Mu Chen's own mind.
The heavens and all the ways are hidden in the heart, how can others take them?
"Don't talk about this, Mu Qing, this little guy is on her birthday today, so I'm here to celebrate her birthday." Mu Chen said with a smile.
"Eh! How old are we? I'm not too young, why am I a little guy! Mu Qing stared at Mu Chen with big eyes and pretended to be angry.
Mu Ruyu saw this scene and smiled warmly, Mu Qing, this girl, has not been so lively for a long time.
Since Mu Chen's disappearance, Mu Qing suddenly didn't like to talk like before, but now, it seems that they have changed back.
"Okay, okay, you brothers and sisters, the meal is ready, let's eat first." Mu Ruyu said with a smile.
Hearing this, Mu Qing suddenly looked at Mu Ruyu and said excitedly: "Really! I'm starving to death, mother, you don't know, they didn't eat well at all when they were making trouble in Jiuding Tower at noon today! ”
Mu Ruyu didn't know what happened in Jiuding Tower, and Mu Chen and Mu Qing didn't plan to tell Mu Ruyu, after all, it was useless to tell her, so he could only worry about it in vain.
Mu Ruyu said with a smile: "Take advantage of your youth and make a lot of trouble, your group of friends are not sitting together just for dinner." ”
After hearing this, Mu Qing smiled and said, "I don't care, anyway, I haven't eaten enough now, I want to eat!" ”
Mu Ruyu smiled very happily and said, "The food is on the table, come in!" ”
"Yay!"
......
Before leaving, Mu Chen walked next to Mu Ruyu, took out a brand-new small book, and said to Mu Ruyu: "This is a mental method, aunt, you have not been able to circulate your spiritual energy for a long time, this mental method may be able to help you." I haven't seen each other for so many years, so I should think of it as a little caution for my aunt. ”
Mu Ruyu was stunned for a moment, took this book, looked at it slightly, and was shocked.
It's not that she realized anything at a glance, but Mu Chen's handwriting can really be described as:
Floating like clouds, like a dragon. The iron book and silver hook are the best in ancient and modern times.
She thinks that she has also seen a lot of calligraphy masters' handwriting, and words like Mu Chen really make her eyes shine.
It is not an exaggeration.
"What have you been doing in the past three years, how can you still practice this good hand!" Mu Ruyu exclaimed.
Mu Chen smiled lightly, his face was not red and his heart was not beating, "I guess my father also told you, I just went out to travel for three years, and I just wanted to go out and have a look by myself, so I didn't tell others." ”
After Mu Ruyu heard this, she stood on tiptoe and knocked on Mu Chen's head: "You, you always make people feel uneasy, you have to compensate Luo Qi well, I heard that Luo Qi thought you were dead because you were missing, and you had plans to commit suicide." If it weren't for the family's efforts to stop it, you wouldn't be able to see her now and in the future. ”
Hearing this, Mu Chen's smile suddenly disappeared, and he said seriously: "I will."
"Okay, don't think about it now, but when you find Luo Qi, you'll have to compensate her!" Mu Ruyu continued.
Mu Chen nodded, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Hmm... By the way, you left the Mu family in a fit of anger in front of Mu Sinian at that time, have you ever thought about what you should rely on to survive in the future? Mu Ruyu said.
Hearing this, Mu Chen joked: "Look at my father, he built such a big mansion in Fengling Mountain, what am I afraid of?" ”
That being said, Mu Chen didn't plan to rely on his father.
Mu Ruyu was a little serious when he heard this: "At that time, he was still in the Mu family, of course, there were enough spirit stones, but now, your father estimates that there are not many spirit stones." ”
"Auntie, don't worry, I still have a lot of ways to earn some spirit stones." Mu Chen said with a smile.
There are still thousands of medium-grade spirit stones in the storage ring that Wanqing gave him before, if you simply maintain the expenses of Mu Chen and his wife, it will be enough in the near future.
But unfortunately, Mu Chen is now using spirit stones to burn them.
There is no way to do it, the aura here is too thin, and Mu Chen can only rely on absorbing the aura in the spirit stone to maintain his cultivation.
And her path this time, the consumption of spiritual energy is really a bit much, and she grabs spiritual energy from heaven and earth, and if she is not careful, she will be squeezed dry by heaven and earth......
"I really have to find a way to count the spirit stones, otherwise I will starve to death before this Xia Wang City arrives." Mu Chen thought secretly in his heart.
"I still have more than a hundred or so medium-grade spirit stones here, you take them first, and if you need them, come to me again." Mu Ruyu took out a storage ring and said.
When Mu Chen heard this, his heart warmed, but he said: "Auntie, I understand the kindness, but now that I do have a way to get the spirit stone, I don't need to trouble you, aunt." ”
Mu Ruyu didn't believe it, and said: "Shaomeng me, how old are you a little child, originally you were still a son who came to open his mouth to stretch out his hand, but now how can he have the strength to earn spirit stones, listen to me, take it." ”
After speaking, Mu Ruyu directly stuffed the storage ring to Mu Chen, and Mu Chen could not object.
Seeing this, Mu Chen felt warm in his heart.
It is true that these spirit stones are nothing to him, but compared to these spirit stones, the family affection and love they carry on them are what move Mu Chen.
Mu Chen didn't refuse this time, and said, "Thank you, aunt." ”
"Family, what's polite." Mu Ruyu said.
"Why haven't you seen your uncle when you came back these days?" Mu Chen suddenly thought of something and asked.
Mu Ruyu was stunned for a moment, as if she had thought of something sad, and said with a low face: "Your uncle went out a few months ago and never came back, but he just wrote letters to each other every month to express condolences." ”
Mu Chen was stunned for a moment and asked, "What did my uncle do?" ”
"There is a relic in the west of the Xia Dynasty, but it has not yet opened, and it is estimated that it will take more than a year, but your uncle wants to try his luck, so he ran there in advance." Mu Ruyu said.
"Western Regions?" Mu Chen asked.
The Western Regions is the western frontier area of the Xia Dynasty, where wars are raging all year round, and ordinary people go there to die.
Mu Ruyu nodded and didn't say anything more.
Seeing Mu Ruyu's appearance, Mu Chen comforted: "Auntie, don't worry, the ruins haven't opened yet, and they have to promise not to waste their strength and won't fight, so my uncle must be safe now." I'll go there later and bring my uncle back. ”
When Mu Ruyu heard this, she said, "No, you definitely can't go there, it's too dangerous!" ”
Hearing this, Mu Chen was stunned for a moment, realizing that in their eyes, he was still just a weak teenager, so he immediately shook his head and smiled: "Then let's wait for my uncle to triumph together." ”
Mu Chen didn't say anything more, because no matter what he said, they wouldn't believe that they had the strength to go to the Western Regions.
