Enfeoffment, Resolving Conflicts?

Mu Changde raised his hand, releasing a surge of spiritual energy that countered the spiritual pressure emanating from Mu Xingqi, much to the relief of the elders.

Mu Xingqi slowly opened his eyes, only to find his courtyard filled with people.

Since he was seeing most of these elders for the first time in reality, he didn't recognize many of them. However, his parents were instantly visible.

Mu Shengtian and Lin Qinghua rushed to Mu Xingqi's side immediately. Although they had seen that their son had already broken through to Foundation Establishment, they instinctively asked again.

Upon receiving Mu Xingqi's answer, both of them were too stunned to speak.

Just then, Mu Changde approached Mu Xingqi. Although this was the first time he had met his grandfather in person, the striking scar on his grandfather's face made him recognize him instantly!

He immediately bowed and said, "Xingqi greets Grandfather!"

"Hahaha, my good grandson still recognizes this old man." Grandfather laughed heartily, patting his shoulder with great joy.

After sensing Mu Xingqi's cultivation, Grandfather Mu Changde was even more pleased, saying, "Foundation Establishment at twelve years old! My Mu Family has truly produced a true dragon!"

"My good grandson will surely reach Spirit Transmutation in the future; my grandson has the potential for Spirit Transmutation!"

Mu Xingqi gave an awkward smile, not responding. He dared not respond; the karma associated with "potential for Spirit Transmutation" was too heavy.

Following this, a group of elders also came to his side and showered him with praise.

Grandfather then inquired why he had been able to break through to Foundation Establishment so quickly.

Mu Xingqi deliberately glanced at his father. Mu Shengtian understood and began to explain to everyone the possibility that he possessed a Special Constitution.

Everyone found this explanation quite believable.

After all, Mu Xingqi's current situation was right before their eyes, and the elders truly believed the claim that he possessed a Special Constitution.

Afterward, Grandfather made everyone present swear a Heavenly Dao Oath, not even sparing the two disciples from the Punishment Hall at the entrance.

As for the suspicions of the Fourth Elder and Second Elder towards Mu Xingqi, they were naturally dismissed the moment they arrived at his courtyard. With his nephew's talent and strength in Foundation Establishment, what was there to suspect about him killing a Qi Cultivation stage Wolf Demon?

They didn't even bring it up.

The next day, Mu Xingqi was enfeoffed as the Young Clan Leader by his grandfather and announced to the entire clan!

On the third day, Mu Xingqi's Foundation Establishment Ceremony and the Young Clan Leader enfeoffment ceremony were held as scheduled!

The various great families who attended dared not believe that someone could have reached Foundation Establishment at such a young age. What did their years of arduous cultivation mean then? Were they a joke?

However, under Mu Changde's deliberate concealment, everyone believed Mu Xingqi was already twenty years old. If they knew he was only twelve, who knew how they would react.

On this day, everyone knew: the Mu Family had produced a true dragon! A true dragon who reached Foundation Establishment at the young age of twenty!

At the banquet, Mu Xingqi specifically found Mu Xing'er, Eighth Sister Mu Xingyu, Seventh Brother Mu Xingluo, Fifth Sister Mu Xinghuang, Fourth Brother Mu Xinghan, and Second Brother Mu Xinglong, acquaintances with whom he drank and feasted.

No one expected that Mu Xingqi, now the Young Clan Leader and a Foundation Establishment cultivator, would still remember them and be willing to lower himself to continue their friendship. Everyone became even more convinced of him.

During this time, Mu Xingqi also met Third Brother Mu Xingyao and Sixth Sister Mu Xingya, both of whom were the children of the Fourth Elder.

It was said that Third Brother Mu Xingyao was a sword fanatic. When Mu Xingqi saw him, he indeed had his sword in hand. He looked like the "Xingyao" he was familiar with from his past life, dashing and handsome, with short hair reaching his eyebrows.

Mu Xingyao specifically requested to seek his guidance. After Mu Xingqi displayed his Nan Sword Art at Perfection, Third Brother became his devoted fan.

Mu Xingyao frankly stated that Xingqi, his Ninth Brother, was the most skilled swordsman he had ever seen.

Sixth Sister Mu Xingya, dressed in a blue and white skirt, with light blue hair tied into two exquisite buns, and a fair complexion with delicate features, truly resembled a fairy, even more so an elf.

This made Mu Xingqi sigh, worthy of being one of the Four Great Beauties selected by the male disciples of the clan.

Eyes like stars, Mu Xing'er.

Body like a magnolia, Mu Xingyu.

Hair like a raging fire, Mu Xinghuang.

Face like a fairy, Mu Xingya.

Just like flowers, each with her own charm, but all beautiful.

Similarly, he imitated the reforms from his previous simulation and adjusted the family's industries.

He assigned different positions to the three shops:

Yipin Pavilion, primarily selling Healing Powder, targeting the low-end market.

Youpin Xuan, primarily selling Qi Gathering Pills, targeting the mid-to-high-end market.

Wangyu Tower, dealing in tea and information trading.

Since he was now the Young Clan Leader, his proposal was quickly supported by his grandfather, and the other elders had no objections.

Of course, he also fully utilized the family's advantages, posting missions in the Pill Hall and scaling up the production of Healing Powder.

These methods had been proven through simulations, so he dared to imitate them boldly.

In December, the Mu Family's industries made huge profits!

Mu Xingqi increased the monthly allowances for disciples and elders.

This further enhanced his prestige within the family. Now, all the disciples in the clan willingly addressed him as Young Clan Leader, and even many elders looked at him with newfound respect.

He also received a considerable amount of Spirit Stones this month, so he specially bought a storage bag, Yellow Grade Mid Rank, for two hundred Spirit Stones.

With the New Year approaching, Mu Xingqi did not plan to start another simulation.

This year, for the reunion dinner, he invited his parents, Xing'er, and Grandfather.

They enjoyed a delightful reunion dinner.

Looking at his harmonious family before him, he realized for the first time: the thing he most wanted to protect in his heart was his family!

At the dinner table, he learned that there were two reasons why Father was so busy:

Reason one: To prove himself. After Father was elected clan leader, many in the clan were unconvinced. Since the previous clan leader was Grandfather, and Father's talent was only the strongest among his peers, he couldn't handle affairs as well as the First Elder Mu Shengquan, nor treat people as kindly as the Second Elder Mu Shengfa. Thus, some people gossiped behind his back, saying Father got the position through connections. Given Father's temper, he was naturally displeased and became busy with various minor clan matters, handling everything personally, regardless of its importance.

This was also the fundamental reason why he rarely saw Father.

Reason two: Father was actually betrothed to a Foundation Establishment family from outside Jinzhou County back then. However, he hopelessly fell in love with Mother and vowed to marry only her, breaking off the engagement unilaterally. This incident also strained Father's relationship with Grandfather, to the point that Father hadn't actively visited Grandfather for many years.

Learning about such a long-standing matter between his parents, Mu Xingqi couldn't help but sigh that his father was truly a pure love warrior!

However, from the moment Father spoke of these things, he had actually let go of his burdens.

With the joint persuasion of Mu Xingqi and Lin Qinghua, Father's relationship with Grandfather also eased.

Actually, he knew that both Father and Grandfather had stubborn personalities, but they were unwilling to explain themselves to each other, causing their relationship to become increasingly strained.

In their hearts, they had already forgiven each other.

After eating and drinking their fill, Mu Xingqi returned to his room and began to ponder
