Chapter 131

"Mr. Xiao, Mu Zhan is a person of bad temper. He didn't mean to offend you and Ya Fei. I will apologize to you two on his behalf."

In the reception room of the Xiao Mansion, Mu Chen, the head of the Mu family, said with a warm smile.

Next to him, Mu Zhan was standing aside with a stiff look on his face, the arrogance he had shown yesterday had now disappeared.

Although it was a little hard to believe, Mu Zhan was not really mentally ill. He could still tell which was more important, a woman or the survival of his family.

Moreover, although Xiao Yuan seemed to be ruthless, in fact, the injuries he caused to him were only on the skin and flesh, and he did not hurt his meridians or even completely disable him. In addition, with Hai Bodong and the Mitel family standing behind him, and even his own talent being so terrifying that even Jia Xingtian suffered a loss, the Mu family naturally would not doubt that Xiao Yuan's words about killing Mu Zhan were just a threat.

In this case, Xiao Yuan showed mercy, so the head of the Mu family, Mu Chen, had to visit in person.

After all, Xiao Yuan has already given this face, and it is natural that the Mu family cannot but give face to a strong man who will definitely be able to advance to the Douhuang level in the future.

Being able to survive in the imperial capital until now, the Mu family naturally would not do anything stupid for the sake of so-called face.

Moreover, Hai Bodong's identity can completely influence the Mitel family's attitude towards the Mu family, which is also a price that the Mu family is unwilling to bear.

"Patriarch Mu Chen is the patriarch of the Mu family, but you don't have to be like this. Whoever made the mistake should admit it. I think with Mu Zhan's temper, if he is not really at a disadvantage, even you would find it difficult to discipline him on a normal day. Just let him learn a lesson this time."

After all, Mu Chen in front of him was a powerful Dou Wang warrior, so Xiao Yuan would not tear his face with him just because of a Mu Zhan. He responded with a gentle smile.

Hai Bodong on the side was playing with the teacup with a bored look on his face. He had no intention of speaking at all, and it was obvious that he wanted Xiao Yuan to handle it himself.

Then, Xiao Yuan changed the subject and said with a smile:

"It can be seen that Mu Zhan is a straightforward person, and his mind is not full of twists and turns. But I still want to remind you that if you meet a girl you like in the future, you'd better restrain your temper. Ya Fei has told me about your various behaviors in the past. She said that you made her feel that you didn't respect her at all, and even made her feel disgusted and disgusted.

If everything goes as expected, Mu Zhan will be the pillar of the Mu family, and it is possible that he will even be the patriarch of the next generation. In other words, all potential cooperation between the Mu family and my Xiao family, including the Mitel family, may be in the charge of Mu Zhan. I don't want to interfere in the Mu family's own affairs.

But I just hope that if this is really the case, the Mu family will not end up in ruin because of some people's recklessness. After all, there is no deep hatred between us. "

"Mr. Xiao really has his own ideas. Mu Zhan acted rashly yesterday because he was too unruly. He relied on the power of our Mu family and was used to being overbearing. I have to thank Mr. Xiao for teaching him a lesson. This made him realize that there are always people who are better than you."

Upon hearing this, Mu Chen's face showed a hint of joy and he bowed and smiled.

Then, his expression changed again, and he looked at Mu Zhan standing beside him and scolded him, "You bastard, why don't you apologize to Master Xiao?"

Hearing this, Mu Zhan walked forward, bowed to Xiao Yuan, then bent down with his upper body almost parallel to the ground.

After a moment, he straightened his back and said loudly: "Brother Xiao, I offended you last night. I hope you and sister-in-law can forgive me."

"Ah."

Seeing this, Xiao Yuan nodded lightly. Being able to make this unruly guy call him brother proved that this guy really submitted to him.

As for whether Mu Zhan would say one thing in public and another in private, Xiao Yuan was not worried.

After leaving the imperial capital, Ya Fei's safety will be guaranteed by Hai Lao. No one in the Mu family has the ability to harm Ya Fei under Hai Bodong's nose.

Besides, the shadow guards of the Mittel family are no pushovers.

In addition, not moving Mu Zhan was also in the hope of avoiding conflicts with big families like the Mu family. After all, the Xiao family wanted to return to the imperial capital and get a piece of the pie, so they certainly couldn't do anything drastic. If they could destroy the Mu family today, then tomorrow there would be some discordant voices from the Nalan family, the royal family, and even the Mitel family.

We can't all destroy them!
Wouldn’t that make him the third brother next door?

You already have a way to die.jpg
Of course, if Mu Zhan really lost his mind, Hai Lao might act even faster. After all, in Hai Bodong's eyes, the brothers Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan are the treasures worth risking everything on!
"Then, I won't bother you anymore. I'll take my leave now! This ring contains some sincerity from my Mu family. Young Master Xiao, please accept it. If there is a chance in the future, I hope you can help this hot-shot Mu Zhan."

Mu Chen stood up, put down a storage ring casually, and then bowed and said.

“Oh, I’ll send Chief Mu Chen off!”

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan stretched out his hand and made a gesture to see the guest off, but he did not comment on what Mu Chen said about supporting him.

"Hey, Master Xiao, cultivation is more important, so you don't have to spend time on these red tapes. My Mu family does have some face in the empire's army. If Master Xiao needs anything, just come to me, Mu Chen!"

Seeing that Xiao Yuan had no intention of getting up, Mu Chen's eyes twitched slightly, and then he quickly added a sentence.

"Haha, Chief Mu Chen, you are too polite. I am just a junior, how can I be so arrogant? I am not bragging, but with my talent, I still have enough time to practice!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan stood up with a smile and escorted the two people from the Mu family out of the house.

"Clan leader, Xiao Yuan clearly said one thing and did another. Why are we..."

After walking out of the Xiao Mansion, Mu Zhan asked with a puzzled look on his face, but was interrupted by Mu Chen with a gloomy face and a wave of his hand.

"Nonsense! If you hadn't been so reckless, I wouldn't have been so servile, giving gifts and favors. I hope that what happened yesterday was the last time. If it happens a second time, I will destroy you first without anyone else!"

Mu Chen naturally would not say that he vaguely sensed a terrifying aura from Xiao Yuan, just like facing Jia Xingtian. Although it was very vague, he was certain that Xiao Yuan might have some unknown trump card. For such a person, the best way is not to provoke him. Even if they cannot be friends, they can never be enemies!
Moreover, judging from today's communication, Xiao Yuan is easy to talk to. He is a person who responds to soft words and not to hard words. He is much better than a tough guy who doesn't respond to either hard words or soft words!
Hearing this, Mu Zhan couldn't help but tremble all over. He then looked back at the gate of the Xiao Mansion with some doubt, then looked at Mu Chen's figure who was leaving with a wave of his sleeves, and hurriedly followed him.

Back in the reception room, Hai Bodong's voice rang out: "I have some impression of Mu Chen. Logically speaking, given his personality, you shouldn't have squeezed so many benefits out of him. It's really strange! But you are the same. Even if you don't have the talent for cultivation, you can probably do a pretty good job managing the family."

"Haha, no matter what he thinks, with Master Hai here, what waves can his Mu family make? As for managing the family, Master Hai, please spare me. I feel that cultivation is easier. By the way, this is the Soul-Restoring Purple Pill. Xiao Yan worked overtime to refine it last night. He is still resting now. Tomorrow is the Alchemist Conference. I will protect you. Tomorrow, let's open the eyes of Jia Xingtian!"

Xiao Yuan took out a jade box of excellent quality, handed it to Hai Bodong, raised the corners of his mouth and said with a smile.

"Okay, okay! I won't say much to express my gratitude. From now on, the affairs of you two little guys are my affairs. I will also take care of the relevant matters of the Xiao family entering the imperial capital in the future. You can go out and venture into the world without worry. I, Hai Bodong, will help you guard the Xiao family!"

Hai Bodong took the jade box and opened it impatiently. Looking at the purple pill filled with elixir energy, his face was full of excitement, and he immediately made a solemn promise.

"I trust Hai Lao's character. Besides, I am your successor. Besides, I have a good relationship with Ya Fei, so I won't be shy with Hai Lao! No need to say polite words, I will take it to heart!"

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan smiled and patted his chest, saying seriously, "Okay!"

Hai Bodong nodded, and immediately set off to take the Purple Pill of Restoring Soul.

The next day, the sky was blue and cloudless, the sun was warm but not scorching, and an occasional breeze blew by, taking away the heat in the city, making people feel refreshed.

One of the grand events of the Gama Empire, the Alchemist Conference held every eight years, will kick off today!

Since the first ray of sunlight broke through the shackles of the earth and shone on this historic city, figures in twos and threes wearing alchemist robes began to appear on the quiet streets.

Alchemists, due to their noble status, are usually seldom seen by ordinary people. But today, these alchemists with mysterious status are like ants leaving a hole, swarming out from their resting places all over the imperial capital one after another. Although their routes are different, their destination is the quaint Alchemist Guild standing in the city.

Today, all the shops in the Holy City of Gama opened earlier than usual. Countless people crawled out of their warm beds and stood at the gates, looking at the large groups of alchemists walking hurriedly on the streets, their eyes filled with enthusiasm and awe.

On this special day, Xiao Yan, as a contestant, naturally got up early, adjusted his condition to the peak, and then leisurely set out on the road to the Alchemist Guild.

As for Xiao Yuan and Hai Bodong, although they did not participate in the competition, they were able to appear in the conference as VIP guests.

But in order to avoid suspicion, he did not go the same way as Xiao Yan, but first came to the Mitel family and met up with Mitel Tengshan and Ya Fei.

"I am a little confused. With Xiao Yan's ability, why would he come to participate in the Alchemist Conference? This is just like me participating in the Grand Fighter Competition. I would be completely crushed, right?"

On the way, Hai Bodong asked Xiao Yuan with some confusion.

"Emi, let's not talk about anything else. The prize for the champion of this competition is a sixth-grade elixir, the recipe for the Rongling Pill!"

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan responded with a smile.

"Well, that's right. With his level, the recipe for this sixth-grade elixir is indeed quite attractive." Hai Bodong nodded in realization, but then said helplessly, "But this is a bit unfair, isn't it?"

"That's not the case. Although Xiao Yan can refine sixth-grade elixirs, I think Hai Lao has also seen that it is a part of his hidden strength. On the surface, he is only a third or fourth-grade alchemist now, right? But I think he should be able to win the championship. Besides, this is also a special practice for him."

Xiao Yuan calmly responded after hearing this.

For now, Yao Lao’s affairs must not be revealed to anyone.

A trump card is only a trump card when no one knows it.

What is displayed is called an open card!
As he spoke, Xiao Yuan's eyes swept across both sides of the street and he was also slightly stunned.

All I saw were graceful girls laughing and whispering, casting shy and admiring glances at the alchemists walking on the street. Obviously, for these girls who were at their prime and full of fantasies, the mysterious and deep alchemists were almost like magnets, attracting their attention tightly.

Alchemist is indeed a profession admired by everyone!
Xiao Yuan couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

However, fortunately, he will be able to learn to make medicine in the future, and then he will naturally be able to enjoy such attention. It seems that he doesn't have to wait until that time?

Listen to the wind singing quietly, and sounds sound in my ears.

"Look, that young man in white robe is so handsome!"

"Oh my god, whose son is this!"

"The woman next to him seems to be the auctioneer of Miter Headquarters. I've seen her before! Her name seems to be Yafei. It seems that she already has a woman she likes. We have no chance!"

"Ah! What a pity!"

After listening for a while, Xiao Yuan's expression became strange.

I originally thought these people were talking about alchemists.

I didn't expect that he was talking about me?

Outrageous!

"what happened?"

Ya Fei saw the change in Xiao Yuan's expression and asked with concern.

"Well, it's okay. I heard some people talking about us. They said we are a perfect match made in heaven!"

Xiao Yuan came back to his senses after hearing this and said with a smile.

"Hey, I think you said that yourself, didn't you?"

Ya Fei said somewhat arrogantly after hearing this.

"Haha, that's really what they said!"

Xiao Yuan said shamelessly after hearing this.

"Why do they need to tell us? We are already like this!"

Upon hearing this, Ya Fei smiled charmingly and took Xiao Yuan's arm as if to declare her sovereignty.

Listening to some lamentations coming from his ears, the smile on Xiao Yuan's face became brighter and brighter.

Seeing this, Hai Bodong and Mittel Tengshan on the side both nodded with a smile.

Seeing how passionate Xiao Yuan and Ya Fei were, they felt more relieved. The future of the family was bright!
