Upheaval in the Mu Family, a struggle for the family headship
Three years Past in the blink of an eye.
For the past three years, Su Chen has remained in Pingyang City.
Originally, Mu Qingling planned to break through to the Integration Stage, but after what happened with Su Ping Tian, she gave up on that plan and instead continued to hone her foundation.
She plans to solidify her skills to the extreme before continuing to improve.
The consequence of this is that the pace of breakthroughs will be much slower, but the Future will be broader and offer more possibilities.
Mu Qingling currently in a very peaceful state of mind. She is neither anxious nor impatient, and her daily life is somewhat similar to that of Su Chen.
Very Zen-like!
This style doesn't have any serious consequences; it just means that one's Cultivation Level progress will be slower, but it doesn't affect one's comprehension of Sword Intent in the slightest.
The essence of comprehending this is metaphysics, and it has nothing to do with sitting in meditation.
Su Chen was both amused and exasperated by Mu Qingling's change, but he couldn't find a single reason to blame her.
Absolutely no problem.
Sometimes lying flat isn't a sign of being unrestrained.
In Su Chen's view, this was more of a sign of prudence.
Take Mu Qingling for example. Although she is now in a state of semi-retirement and her progress in cultivation has slowed down, she is slowly honing her foundation.
Certainly.
Mu Qingling could work even harder; the results would definitely be better that way.
But there's no need.
There's nothing wrong with lying down a bit.
Su Chen is not in a hurry, so he doesn't mind this "laissez-faire" mentality, as long as Mu Qingling doesn't just give up.
The Inner Court of the Ning Family.
Mu Qingling served a cup of tea and said respectfully, "Master, please have some tea."
Su Chen glanced at her, then picked up his teacup and took a sip.
"Speak, what is it?"
Although he had only known Mu Qingling for about ten years, Su Chen still understood his disciple quite well.
Mu Qingling immediately launched into a tirade of flattery. "Master is truly a visionary, majestic, and incredibly handsome..."
"Alright, let's get straight to the point."
Su Chen waved his hand and said calmly.
Mu Qingling hesitated for a moment before saying, "Master, I want to go for a walk by myself."
She left Su Chen not because she wanted to gain experience.
In Mu Qingling's current view, training is not very necessary. She would rather travel around, experience different things, and then take the opportunity to visit the Mu Family.
She's been away for many years and wants to go back and visit.
Su Chen didn't say much, only nodded slightly. "Go."
Mu Qingling took a deep breath, then knelt down and kowtowed three times to Su Chen.
"I take my leave, disciple!"
She wasn't a sentimental person, nor was she overly melancholic, so she was very decisive when she parted ways with Su Chen.
Besides, it's not like we won't see each other again in the Future.
Su Chen did not stay in Pingyang City for long; he left after half a month and returned to Wangyun Mountain.
Half a year Past in the blink of an eye, and Mu Qingling finally arrived at her place of origin.
The Cangyun Empire.
She didn't rush along the way, but walked and stopped frequently, just like when she was with Su Chen.
Mu Qingling took a deep breath, her face full of contentment.
I'm back!
Although only about ten years Past, she has changed a lot in these years. Mu Qingling has undergone a complete transformation.
She is now more composed and stronger.
When she left the Cangyun Empire, she was just a Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivator, but now she has broken through to the Void Refinement Perfection.
If she hadn't wanted to hone her foundation, she would have already broken through to the Integration Stage.
Before entering the Cangyun Empire, Mu Qingling was always calm and unhurried, but after returning to this familiar place, she suddenly felt a little anxious.
She wanted to go back and see her people as soon as possible.
Although many people in the Mu Family left her with a bad impression, not everyone was like that.
Besides, those people who were disliked back then all left the Mu Family in the end, and it's uncertain whether they've gone back now.
"I'm home!"
Mu Qingling had a smile on her face, clearly in a very good mood.
Jinling City.
The Mu Family.
Since Mu Qingling became Su Chen's apprentice, coupled with the Imperial Family's support, the Mu Family has entered a period of rapid development and has become the Number One Force in Jinling City.
However, the Mu Family is currently embroiled in disputes.
"Mu Xin, don't go too far!"
Mu Hua said through gritted teeth, glaring fiercely at Mu Xin. If looks could kill, Mu Xin would probably be dead countless times over.
Mu Xin was the Great Elder of the Mu Family, and he was the one who led the group to leave the Mu Family.
After the Mu Family's problems were resolved, Mu Hua called back all those who had left, since the Mu Family didn't have many members at the time.
As long as the Mu Family wants to continue to grow, it will need people.
After summoning those people back to the Mu Family, Mu Hua did not reinstate their positions Elder. Instead, he reduced their previous treatment and set some strict rules.
Of course, these rules are necessary, not something that Mu Hua deliberately set out to do.
The reason for lowering their treatment is that many of these people are unreliable and not loyal enough to their Lineage.
Such a person does not require much effort from the Lineage to cultivate.
However, this is where the problem lies: those who returned to the Mu Family received reduced treatment, causing much discontent.
Mu Xin's strength was only slightly inferior to Mu Hua's, so he secretly colluded with those whose treatment had been reduced, embezzling funds and using the resources that the Mu Family had accumulated over the years.
He used this opportunity to break through to the Late Nascent Soul Stage, and without permission, he gave those resources to other Elder to use, helping the Second Elder Mu Geng and the Third Elder Mu Li to also break through to the Nascent Soul Stage.
In the entire Mu Family, only Mu Hua has broken through to the Deity Transformation Early Stage in recent years.
All the others loyal to the Mu Family are stuck at the Peak Nascent Soul Realm.
Due to the vast difference in strength, Mu Xin directly joined forces with others to sideline Mu Hua.
Mu Xin said calmly, "Family Head, our Mu Family is currently in a period of rapid development, and a wise Family Head is of paramount importance."
"And you Mu Hua, are clearly not the right person for this position."
"Therefore, I urge the Family Head to abdicate and allow a suitable person to become the head of my Mu Family."
Upon hearing this, Mu Hua's eyes turned icy cold.
At the same time, he was filled with regret, wishing he hadn't called these people back.
Most of those who left the Mu Family back then were cowards who were afraid of death and unwilling to share hardships with the Mu Family, so Mu Hua's treatment of them was naturally not the same as before.
I never expected these people to be so despicable.
But Mu Hua was also very puzzled. Whether it was Mu Xin, Mu Li, or the Second Elder Mu Geng from back then, all of them had very ordinary aptitudes.
Even with the help of resources, it is not certain that one can break through to the Nascent God Realm in just a few years.
It should be noted that as the Family Head, he enjoys a lot of resources, but in the past few years, he has only broken through to the Deity Transformation Early Stage.
Mu Li and others who were weaker than him back then, only at the Nascent Soul Late Stage, have now all broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage.
This is so strange.
Although he didn't Items, Mu Hua knew that they Certain have someone helping them.
