The Family Patriarch of the Mu Family had just passed away when the second funeral began.
The Chief Patriarch who had been in charge of the family affairs passed away. Another piece of news came out. Reverent King Star had become the new Family Patriarch.
Soon, the news spread out. The entire Mu Family was in turmoil.
Mu Wanqing, who had been missing for years, had come back. She defeated Great Patriarch, killed Chief Patriarch and subdued all the patriarchs of the family.
Some people in the family were shaken but the general situation was stabilized for now.
As long as the patriarchs were subdued, the rest would be easy. It seemed that the patriarchs had been subdued.
Truth would be revealed by force. If they were not convinced, then they would have to die or go to the mausoleum with Great Patriarch.
If the patriarchs wanted to shine in their positions for a few more years, then they would have to yield.
The patriarchs did not want the Mu Family to be divided. Once the family was divided, the Mu Family would be reduced to a small family or even be wiped out.
Reverent King Star had no one to rely on for years. He was more mature than others. After he became the Family Patriarch, he was not condescending.
He listened to Mu Wanqing. He suppressed some patriarchs and roped in others.
He did not go too far. He merely transferred some of the more important clans away and divided their power.
Mu Wanqing did not slack off either. She had been making plans for Reverent King Star, managing the family affairs and stabilizing the family.
Lu Li lived at ease at the Mu Family. He was not bored out of his mind. He was waiting for Mu Wanqing to give him the 10 billion divine stones.
He had done his job and now he was waiting for the reward. With the 10 billion divine stones, he could teleport to the Broken Sword Mountain with them.
But he was not in a hurry. It would take some time for Reverent King Star to take control of the family. He could not ask Reverent King Star to open the Department of Internal Affairs and hand over 10 billion divine stones right away.
Lu Li stayed in the backyard to cultivate the Fundamental Principle of the Divine Sound.
He had not mastered the Fundamental Principle yet. He felt that he had only learned less than half of it. The Fundamental Principle was so powerful that it was impossible to learn it in a short time.
Soon, a month had passed!
Lu Li was alarmed. The Inhibition Formation in his room lit up. He opened the door and saw that it was dark outside. Mu Wanqing walked in wearing a pink dress.
Mu Wanqing liked to wear black dresses, which gave her an aloof and elegant look. Now, she was wearing a pink dress, which made her more charming.
She smiled before saying anything, making the whole room feel a little brighter.
Lu Li invited her in, made her a cup of tea and said, "Are you done?"
"It should be more or less stable!"
Mu Wanqing nodded slightly, then sighed and said, "The Old Master is dead, and the Great Elder would rather die than surrender. The clan was weak to begin with, and it's too difficult to recover now. It'll take at least a few hundred to a thousand years.
And this is under the premise that the clan does not fall into chaos and there are no external enemies invading. "
"En!"
Lu Li nodded. It was hard for a big family to rise. Unless the family could have a powerful warrior, the family could only develop slowly.
Take the Lu Family for example. Because of Lu Li, the Lu Family soared to the top. First, the Lu Family became the most powerful in the Heaven Reverse Universe, then the most powerful in the nine universes, and then the most powerful in the Divinity. Now, the Lu Family had gone to the Second Heaven.
But the foundation of the Lu Family was thin. Apart from Lu Li, the other warriors of the Lu Family were too weak. To truly become a super family, it would take years of accumulation.
A super clan didn't just have one super expert, but countless super experts.
Mu Wanqing took out a ring. She pushed it over and said, "There are 12 billion divine stones in here. The Mu Family is a large family, but Wang Xing has just been promoted. This is all we can offer. Young Master Lu, I hope you don't mind."
"Twelve billion?"
Lu Li was surprised. He took over the ring and took out two billion divine stones to put into another Interspatial Ring. Handing it over, he said, "Whatever you say. The Mu Family has many things to do. Give the extra to your brother to develop the family."
"Eh …"
This time, it was Mu Wanqing's turn to be surprised. Then, she felt something.
As far as she could tell, a powerful warrior like Lu Li would not be in need of divine stones. The fact that he didn't ask for more was proof enough.
It was for her body. What else could Lu Li want?
He could only lend a hand when he saw injustice.
On the thought of this, Mu Wanqing's eyes reddened. She looked at Lu Li with respect. She took out the jug, poured two goblets of wine and said gratefully, "Then I will propose a toast to you, Young Master Lu. Thank you for your help."
Lu Li was not being generous. Ten billion divine stones were enough for them to teleport over. Two billion more wouldn't make any difference.
If Lu Li could give him another 10 billion, he might accept it …
"Lady Wanqing, where are you going next?
Are you going to stay at the Mu Family or go back to the Zi Yang Mainland? "
Lu Li asked casually while drinking. Now that he had the divine stones, he was ready to set off. This time, he would teleport to the Broken Sword Mountain to find Yin Qingsi.
"I plan to stay at the Mu Family for a while. I will see when the Mu Family has stabilized."
Mu Wanqing sighed. She would always be an outsider at the Zi Yang Mainland, living under someone else's roof.
But now, she felt she was an outsider at the Mu Family as well. Apart from her brother, the others would look at her with a different meaning. She could not be close to them.
"Ha, ha!"
Lu Li said with a smile, "Women can strive to improve themselves. You have stayed at the Zi Yang Mainland. You must know about the Devil Sea.
There is a force at the Devil Sea called the Palace of Devils. Their master is a woman. At the Devil Sea, she is a big shot that can shake the world.
Also, I have seen many powerful female warriors. As long as a woman strives to improve herself, she can have a wonderful life. "
"Strive to improve herself!"
Mu Wanqing's eyes glowed. She said, "Thank you, Young Master Lu, for enlightening me. I will work hard. In the future, when I have some achievements, I will go and thank you."
"Here you go!"
Lu Li picked up his goblet and said, "Now that I have finished my business, I will leave tomorrow. We will meet again if fate allows."
"You are leaving tomorrow?"
Mu Wanqing was reluctant to see him go. She looked at Lu Li with hidden bitterness, like a disgruntled wife who could not win the love of her man.
"Young Master Lu …"
Mu Wanqing wanted to say something but stopped on second thought. She just picked up her goblet and drank to drown her sorrows.
Her face was getting redder and redder. Her eyes became misty as if she was drunk.
Lu Li drank in silence as well. His mind was in turmoil.
She was as pretty as a piece of jade, and her eyes were misty. On top of that, she seemed to be at his mercy. If it were any other man, they would not be able to restrain themselves.
Lu Li would be lying if he said he was not tempted at all. But he did not do anything rash. He must be responsible for what he did. Otherwise, he would feel uneasy.
If he left Mu Wanqing here alone, he would think about her often. The two of them had not developed any real feelings yet. It was better to restrain each other.
They drank until midnight. Seeing that Lu Li still didn't do anything, Mu Wanqing staggered to her feet. She looked at Lu Li deeply and then gathered up her courage to say, "Young Master Lu, can I hug you?"
"Of course!"
