Mu Chengkun, Who Treated Gold Like Dirt!
Chu Xinghe didn't care whether the others were stupid or not at this moment.
Chu Xinghe felt like his world had collapsed!
This is supposed to be the betrothal gift... and the most expensive betrothal gift in the world...
Our fellow students in the Civil Engineering Department have been working tirelessly, day and night, to prepare the betrothal gifts...
I, Chu Xinghe, rushed here with Chu Xinghe Ouyang Ming. Shouldn't my original plan have been to sit down and discuss the betrothal gifts with the Mu Clan?
No matter how high the betrothal gifts the Mu Clan dares to ask for, I'll double them!
I've made arrangements for both the Sacred Venerable Vermilion Bird and the White Tiger Holy Venerable...
The Sacred Venerable Vermilion Bird even dressed up as a wild goose, which means we're giving the White Tiger Holy Venerable along with him as a gift...
And then, after arriving here, without a word, Mu Qingyan became Ouyang Qingyan... Tell me, who am I supposed to give this betrothal gift to?
The problem is, Chu Xinghe doesn't even know how to start the conversation right now.
The things the Mu Clan did were absolutely inhuman.
They didn't treat Mu Qingyan like a human being at all...
In this situation, Chu Xinghe thought, "Even if I have to go against my conscience, I absolutely cannot advise Mu Qingyan, right...?"
"Qingyan... don't talk nonsense! We are father and daughter, blood is thicker than water! In my eyes, you are the apple of my eye. What I said just now was just a momentary outburst of anger, how could I take it seriously..."
Goodness, when it comes to shamelessness, Ma Liang has truly had his eyes opened today by Xiao Dao's ass...
If we're talking about shamelessness, it has to be your Mu Clan...
This is absolutely inhumane! You think you can just resolve this with a misunderstanding?
Before Mu Chengkun could even speak, Ouyang Qingyan declared, "I ask all of you elders and fellow villagers to bear witness for me: Mu Clan Qingyan declared that he would expel me from the Mu Clan!"
"That's right..."
"I heard it..."
"The Mu Clan is a prestigious family; their word is their bond. I heard that the Mu Clan head expelled Miss Qingyan from the Mu Clan..."
"Yes, yes, yes... I heard it too..."
"Not only were they expelled, but Miss Qingyan also agreed..."
Good grief, right now the whole area is full of people who're just looking for a good show and don't want things to get any worse.
As people around him began to speak up and offer their testimony, Mu Chengkun and all the members of the Mu Clan were so anxious they wanted to urinate.
It's important to know that when Mu Chengkun saw Ouyang Ming appear, his first reaction wasn't guilt or anything like that, but excitement!
This is Ouyang Ming... My daughter is actually the legendary, mysterious Madam Ouyang!
When my daughter married into the Ouyang Lineage, our Mu Clan took off immediately!
Given Ouyang Ming's status in the Vast Heaven Holy Land, wouldn't our Mu Clan send a batch of disciples to the Vast Heaven Holy Land every year through this connection?
Our Mu Clan has truly risen to prominence this time...
But at this moment, Ouyang Qingyan's words were like a bolt from the blue for Mu Chengkun!
Mu Qingyan even abandoned her own surname, and from then on used her husband's family name, Ouyang, as her surname, to repay the Mu Clan a hundredfold for all the resources they had given her in raising her.
Even with a hundred times the resources, is this what Mu Chengkun wants?
Mu Chengkun wanted to latch onto the powerful Vast Heaven Holy Land!
"Qingyan... I know you're angry... but a father's heart is connected to his daughter's, blood is thicker than water... I didn't know about your engagement with Master Ouyang... so it's a misunderstanding... a misunderstanding..."
"Mu Clan, everyone in the Three Continents says I, Ma Liang, am shameless, but compared to you, Mu Clan, I Ma Liang. Today, my Junior Brother Ouyang didn't have your entire family wiped out only because of my sister-in-law. If you dare to utter another word, I believe even the Demonic Emperor Wu Xingyun might not be able to stand by and watch!"
Ma Liang knew that although Ouyang Ming n't said a word, his anger had already reached its peak.
If Senior Brother Xinghe hadn't brought them here in advance, it would have been too late when Ouyang Ming arrived on the fifth day of the lunar new year.
Although thanks to Senior Brother Xinghe's flawless planning, no major mistakes were made this time, Ma Liang could no longer tolerate the Mu Clan's behavior.
Both born into prominent families, Ma Liang deeply resented arranged marriages between aristocratic families. If his sister hadn't been sent for such a marriage, she would surely have been very happy...
Ma Liang could imagine what would happen to Ouyang Qingyan if Huan'er's journey to the Vast Heaven Holy Land was delayed.
Although no major mistake was ultimately made, the Mu Clan's actions had crossed Ma Liang's bottom line.
If it weren't for Qingyan and her sister-in-law's sake, Ma Liang said that Wu Xingyun would definitely have descended upon the Mu Clan tonight! I, Ma Liang, am telling you!
"My Junior Brother Ouyang made a twenty-year promise with his wife. Twenty years later, Junior Brother Ouyang would bring the most precious betrothal gifts in the world to marry her. Although the twenty-year period has not yet arrived, my Junior Brother Ouyang still kept his promise. This time, my Vast Heaven Holy Land originally intended to bring resources exceeding those of the last Holy Lord's marriage to the Holy Empress as betrothal gifts to the Mu Clan to help my junior brother Junior Brother Ouyang marry his wife."
"And now, Ma Liang has to thank Mu Clan for expelling my brother and sister-in-law from the Lineage on a whim. Now, they can't even send out the betrothal gifts..."
It must be said, Ma Liang understood how to kill by destroying one's spirit...
As soon as Ma Liang uttered these words, Mu Chengkun coughed up a mouthful of blood.
All the onlookers couldn't help but sigh, "That's just fate!"
Under these circumstances, Ma Liang would never talk nonsense. The betrothal gifts Gu Mingchao gave to Ji Ya last time caused a sensation throughout the Three Continents.
The Four Great Clans of the Spirit Beast Continent were green with envy over the dowry...
If you find the most eloquent storyteller to read the betrothal gift list of the Vast Heaven Holy Land, I've heard it would take him from the age of twenty to the age of eighty to finish reading it.
This time, Vast Heaven Holy Land is even willing to offer more betrothal gifts than last time in order to help Ouyang Ming get married.
All of this was because of Ouyang Ming's promise.
Ouyang Ming once told Mu Qingyan that he would use the most precious dowry in the world to marry Mu Qingyan, and Ouyang Ming his word...
Unfortunately, Ouyang Ming arrived with the betrothal gifts, but the Mu Clan already expelled Mu Qingyan. Now, Mu Qingyan no longer exists; only Ouyang Qingyan remains...
So even if Ouyang Ming wanted to send betrothal gifts, there was nowhere to send them!
As for that level of betrothal gifts, it's not even a matter of defying fate. If the Mu Clan to receive such a betrothal gift, from the patriarch Mu Chengkun down to any lowly servant, they would probably still have a hard time squandering it all, even if they spent their days indulging in food, drink, gambling, and prostitution.
But now Mu Chengkun says he doesn't care about these dowries at all, and if he says he'll kick his daughter out of the house, he will. Mu Chengkun truly deserves the title of someone who treats gold like dirt!
Mu Chengkun was now slumped to the ground...
He thought that by marrying his daughter to Master Yan Hua, he could exchange a worthless daughter for Master Yan Hua's favor and the hope of the Mu Clan's rise.
But Mu Chengkun never dreamed that the daughter he considered the least valuable was actually the most valuable in the Mu Clan.
Not only Mu Chengkun, but all Mu Clan were also filled with despair at this moment...
Because, like Mu Chengkun, everyone regarded Mu Qingyan as the least valuable member of the Mu Clan.
They didn't even really treat Mu Qingyan as a person.
The Mu Clan was overjoyed at Mu Qingyan's marriage... Everyone was hoping to find out how Mu Qingyan could bring them the greatest benefit after her marriage.
But none of them cared whether Mu Qingyan lived or died.
Even if only one person stands up for Mu Qingyan this time, Chu Xinghe said he would definitely give all the betrothal gifts to that person.
Unfortunately... there wasn't a single one...
Ouyang Ming said that it still had to be his Senior Brother Ma Liang. The usually gentle Ouyang Ming had for a moment wanted to wipe out the entire Mu Clan to avenge Qingyan.
But Ma Liang said, "Junior Brother Ouyang... you're still too green. What's the point of killing him?"
As for that bunch from the Mu Clan, if you just send them on their way with a single blow, what pain could they possibly feel?
What's more terrifying than death is despair, and what's more painful than despair is the simultaneous regret and despair!
When it comes to dealing with Lineage matters, I, your Senior Brother Ma Liang, have far more experience than you...
Look at the Ma Lineage; they live in regret and despair every day.
The Mu Clan will also be in the same boat; from this day forward, they will live in endless regret and despair.
Really? Nobody thinks the Mu Clan still has any hope... After what happened today, the entire Three Continents will know what the Mu Clan did in a short time, and everyone probably knows how the Mu Clan offended Ouyang Ming.
From this day forward, absolutely no one will dare to cooperate with the Mu Clan.
What's wrong? Have you gone mad? The Mu Clan isn't some irreplaceable Lineage. You're cooperating with the Mu Clan because you're afraid of offending the Vast Heaven Holy Land?
On one side is the Vast Heaven Holy Land and Ouyang Ming, the world's number one weapon refiner; on the other is the declining Mu Clan...
Anyone who hears this knows which option to choose...
The decline of the Mu Clan was inevitable, and it was a rapid decline. What's most painful is that the Mu Clan not only has to face decline, but also feels even more pain every time they think about how they once had the power to cling to the Vast Heaven Holy Land and possess countless resources...
One side is heaven... the other is hell...
The entire Mu Clan collectively chose hell, without even glancing at heaven... truly a group of warriors!
If even one member of the Mu Clan had spoken up for Mu Qingyan today, Chu Xinghe would have said that he would have immediately supported her to become the head of the Mu Clan, and he would have given her the betrothal gift no matter what.
But from beginning to end, not a single person treated Mu Qingyan as family.
In this situation, Chu Xinghe declared, "I can't give away a single thing!"
Although I, Chu Xinghe, really want to suffer a loss, I have my bottom line... Under these circumstances, even if I know I'm bound to lose, I absolutely cannot give resources to these bastards!
As the saying goes, people have things they will do and things they will not do, Mu Clan's actions have crossed Chu Xinghe's bottom line.
It must be said that Ma Liang was truly a master at destroying someone's spirit.
Ma Liang didn't choose to kill anyone from the Mu Clan, but after Ma Liang said those words, it hurt them even more than if they had killed the Mu Clan!
The identity of the mysterious Madam Ouyang has finally been revealed. No one expected that this mysterious Madam Ouyang, whom everyone had been speculating about for so long and who Future matriarch of the Ouyang Lineage, would actually be Mu Qingyan, a little-known member of the Mu Clan...
No, she should be called Ouyang Qingyan now!
It's hard to say whether the Mu Clan was unknown in the past, but now Mu Clan reputation is absolutely top-notch.
Mu Chengkun, who regarded gold as dirt... a true man of iron will, a real man who would refuse the resources of Vast Heaven Holy Land at the slightest disagreement!
However, this was not the most crucial point. As news of the Mu Clan's affair spread throughout the land, countless young ladies from prominent families who were originally engaged broke off their engagements...
The reason is simple: do you know if your daughter has ever been secretly engaged to some prodigy from the Vast Heaven Holy Land?
What if?
What? You want to be like Mu Chengkun treated gold like dirt?
