Forcing the Mu Family

Lu Shui's actions and words shocked everyone.

Mu Yuan hadn't recovered from the previous words when he heard Lu Shui's questioning.

Without time to think too much, he immediately said:

"Nephew Lu, you've misunderstood. Nothing of the sort has happened."

Lu Shui looked at Mu Yuan, a hint of disdain on his lips, his words sharp:

"Nothing of the sort?

Then what did I see and hear?

I'm very curious, is your Mu Family too poor to afford it, or do you have nowhere to live, or is there no one who can get things done?"

"Nephew Lu, there is definitely a misunderstanding at this moment. Someone must have heard some baseless rumors and acted recklessly." Mu Yuan said with a frown.

He felt Lu Shui's aura had changed.

Lu Shui took a step forward, appearing somewhat aggressive:

"Acted recklessly?

So are you, the Mu Family Patriarch, lacking authority to manage people?

Or are the several people present here begging the Mu Family members on their knees to get things done?

Or are you Mu Family members inherently spineless trash, swayed by the wind, acting recklessly?"

As Lu Shui finished these words, the faces of the Mu Family Three People turned terrifyingly grim, even making them eager to act.

True Martial True Spirit were terrified, truly terrified. The young master was too reckless, far more reckless than they had anticipated.

This wasn't just high-profile, this wasn't just overflowing with a sense of superiority?

This was simply arrogant and lawless.

And at this very moment, Lu Shui spoke again:

"If you, the Mu Family Patriarch, are incapable, you can beg me to handle things, and perhaps I can help you out."

This sentence from Lu Shui completely enraged all the Mu Family Members.

Pa!

Mu Yuan immediately raised his hand and smashed his chair. He stood up, his aura spreading wildly:

"Presumptuous."

The vast voice instantly spread throughout the entire Mu Family. The moment this voice rang out, Mu Yuan's aura also directly permeated the entire Mu Family.

At this moment, the entire Mu Family paused. Just one sentence caused everyone in the Mu Family, including those at the mountain foot, to freeze as if in silence.

But soon, they all became frightened. They could naturally hear that it was the Patriarch's voice.

The Patriarch's voice carried anger. What had happened?

And on the Mu Family Hall's upper level, Mu Yuan's aura was scattering wildly. He stared intently at Lu Shui.

Mu Jiang and Mu Ze also stood up. They glared at Lu Shui with equal fury. This Lu Shui was simply arrogant and utterly presumptuous.

True Martial True Spirit were greatly alarmed. They stood by Lu Shui's side, wanting to move forward but unable to advance an inch.

But as long as the Mu Family Patriarch dared to make a move, they would dare to fight with their lives.

The young master was indeed good at stirring up trouble.

Lu Shui stood there, his gaze fixed on Mu Yuan.

Although Mu Yuan brought him considerable pressure, Lu Shui showed no fear, merely looking at the other party.

After staring at each other for more than ten seconds, Mu Yuan spoke with boundless rage. His voice was vast and deafening, even directly reaching the entire Mu Family:

"Who is so bold as to unilaterally cut off Mu Xue's cultivation resources, seize her place to live? And even demand payment for requesting things from the main family?

Who dares to be so audacious and act so recklessly?

Investigate for me. Dig three feet into the ground. Turn my Mu Family upside down if you have to, but find out.

Whoever is found responsible, regardless of their identity or cultivation level, will be severely punished without leniency, as a warning to others."

Hearing these words, the entire Mu Family was stunned.

And some people began to panic.

For example, the Spirit Beast Department that sold spirit beasts to Ding Liang, and those who changed the name of Mu Xue's courtyard.

Some of them couldn't believe it, how could disaster suddenly strike them?

Even more unbelievable was Tang Yi.

Her face, which had been happy moments ago, turned pale.

And a girl beside her was even more frightened because Mu Xue's residence was registered under her name.

"Mother, what happened? Is something big going on?"

"No, it's nothing. Don't worry, don't be scared. Wait, wait for your father to come back."

The Mu family's voice resounded once more, this time accompanied by the might of thunder: "Our Mu family will definitely stand up for Mu Xue and crush anyone who acts recklessly under our hand."

BOOM!!!

The thunderous might shook everyone to their core. Tang Yi was so frightened she went limp.

She couldn't understand. How could this happen?

As Mu Yuan finished speaking, he finally withdrew his spreading power and then said to Lu Shui:

"Young Master Lu, there's no need to worry. This matter will definitely be resolved perfectly for Mu Xue."

Lu Shui looked at Mu Yuan. He calmed himself from the impact Mu Yuan had caused and replied:

"What's the use of a resolution? What happened, happened.

I'm just telling you all something right now.

Your Mu family can't afford to support her, but my Lu family can. Your Mu family has no place for her to live, but my Lu family has plenty. Your Mu family lacks people to get things done, but my Lu family doesn't.

You need to understand one thing: whatever your Mu family can do, our Lu family can do.

Whatever your Mu family can't do, my Lu family can still do."

Mu Yuan looked at Lu Shui, his expression darkening slightly. He then lowered his head and said:

"Young Master Lu is right. This was indeed our Mu family's mistake. However, Mu Xue is the Mu family's eldest young lady, and the Mu family will absolutely not let her suffer any wrong.

This was truly my oversight as clan leader. From today onwards, we will definitely compensate Mu Xue doubly.

I believe with Young Master Lu's reminder, this kind of thing will not happen again."

Mu Jiang and Mu Ze were somewhat unwilling, but in the end, they said nothing.

As the clan leader, Big Brother ultimately had to consider the family's interests.

Mu Xue stood there, ignored by everyone, and she never spoke a word.

Lu Shui also stopped talking. The topic had shifted, and no longer having to face Mu Xue, he was thinking of an excuse to leave.

He had to return quickly.

It was too dangerous here.

At this moment, Zhen Wu finally snapped back to reality. Young Master was truly too fierce, forcing the Mu family to admit fault on the spot.

But this wasn't their original purpose for coming.

He went to Lu Shui's side and transmitted a secret message to him:

"Young Master, we came to break off the engagement."

Zhen Wu's action was naturally seen by others. Lu Shui inwardly sighed in relief. Zhen Wu did a beautiful job.

Lu Shui then nodded.

Seeing Lu Shui nod, Zhen Wu was overjoyed. Did Young Master finally decide to listen to him?

But soon, Zhen Wu was Meng Bi.

Lu Shui bowed slightly to Mu Yuan and the others:

"I have delivered the message Third Elder asked me to convey. What happens next is the Mu family's business.

I just heard from Zhen Wu that Third Elder instructed me not to linger and to return immediately to report. Therefore, I will not disturb you elders any further.

We shall take our leave now."

Zhen Wu: Young Master, you are spouting nonsense.

Lu Shui's words made those people freeze again. Young Master Lu wasn't going to be arrogant anymore?

He was leaving just like that?

However, Mu Yuan still said:

"Xue'er, see Young Master Lu out."

The moment Mu Xue nodded, Lu Shui directly turned around and left with his people, not even looking back:

"No need. Miss Mu looks quite delicate. It's best to go back and rest soon. You don't need to see me out."

Without waiting for Mu Xue's reply, Lu Shui had already led his people to the doorway, appearing rather arrogant.

Mu Xue didn't say anything, but she found it amusing inwardly. He ran so fast.

Mu Yuan looked at Mu Xue and said:

"Xue'er, this was indeed an oversight on our part as elders. Before tonight, we will definitely make those reckless individuals come to you to beg for forgiveness."

Mu Xue shook her head and said softly:

"Clan Leader, you are too serious. This was an accident. Xue'er understands. Let's just let this matter go. Xue'er was not harmed in any way."

After Mu Yuan comforted her a few more words, Mu Xue withdrew.

Once Mu Xue left, only three people remained in the Mu family hall. The hall fell silent.
