Magic City, the Mu Clan estate.
In a room with a touch of traditional elegance within the Mu Clan compound, a beautiful young woman sat at a dressing table, carefully putting the finishing touches on her appearance.
Knock, knock!
A sudden knock sounded, and the door opened a crack as a beautiful girl leaned halfway into the room.
"Sis, are you ready?"
Mu Nujiao looked at her reflection, which now seemed much more poised and capable. She brushed back a strand of hair beside her ear and nodded in satisfaction.
"All done, Nu Xin. Let's go."
Mu Nujiao and Mu Nuxin walked arm in arm along a shaded path, a beautiful sight as they strolled side by side.
The third generation's [Mu Clan's Twin Stars] had yet to make a name for themselves, but they were already budding flowers, waiting only for a chance to bloom.
Neither sister spoke along the way, each lost in her own thoughts.
Eventually, they reached the meeting hall in the Mu Clan compound. Standing in the center of the hall, overseeing the preparations, was Mu Yuan, the leading figure of the Mu Clan's second generation.
He was directing the servants as they arranged the furnishings when he happened to spot Mu Nujiao and Mu Nuxin coming in. With a broad smile, he said,
"Nu Jiao, Nu Xin, you're here. Find yourselves a seat."
"Yes, Uncle."
Mu Nujiao and Mu Nuxin answered obediently and found seats at the outer edge.
As the leading figure of the second generation, Mu Yuan strongly supported competition among his peers, as well as the third generation's participation in family meetings.
Otherwise, the younger generation would not have had the seniority to attend. Even if they did, they would only have been allowed to listen, with no right to speak.
