Chapter 500: Chapter 502: A Family of Three (Part 6)
“Girl, I heard you are an Alchemist too?” the Ancestor said with a smile, looking at Mu Ruyue with kindness, “Could you tell about your strength?”
Perhaps it was because this old man gave Mu Ruyue a good impression, she did not hide anything: “Middle-level Mortal Stage.”
Middle-level Mortal Stage?
Everyone’s corners of their mouths stiffened involuntarily, and their astonished gazes turned toward the woman’s indifferent expression.
At that mont, their hearts filled with unprecedented regret; had they known that Xiao Yun’s descendant would have such an excellent disciple, they would not have followed Qingshi’s instigations initially.
Now it was too late for regrets.
Especially since the Ancestor seed to have a favorable impression of her…
“Haha!” the Ancestor laughed heartily, nodding with satisfaction, “Not bad, girl, you are really quite impressive. I wonder if you might be interested in our Xiao Family.”
Mu Ruyue did not hesitate, “Not interested.”
The Ancestor’s smile stiffened slightly, and the corners of his mouth twitched a little. This girl was indeed honest, not even knowing how to fib.
Was his Xiao Family really so bad?
“Feng’er, what about you?” the Ancestor turned his head to look at Xiao Feng.
Xiao Feng said without even lifting his eyelids, “I need to help my sister manage the Alchemy Tower, I have no ti to care about your Xiao Family.”
Listening to Xiao Feng’s answer, a look of grief flashed through the Ancestor’s eyes.
“Bai Xuan’s son has already died, can we really let my Xiao Family be without a successor? I see you two as the most suitable candidates, why not consider it? I can offer it for free or even give extra.”
Mu Ruyue’s eyes flickered, although the Alchemy Tower was already on the right track, having additional strength was still good…
“Ancestor, I do have soone in mind who could take up the position.”
The Ancestor’s eyes imdiately brightened, “Who?”
“My father, Xiao Tianyu, ever since Xiao Yun was expelled from the Xiao Family, our branch has been living in the Saint Realm. His strength is not high, but Grandpa has been training him since he was young. If we let him manage the Xiao Family, he surely won’t make the past mistakes. However, I have one condition…”
“What condition?”
“I want those who were involved in expelling Xiao Yun to accompany back to the Holy Realm Xiao Family, to personally go to Xiao Yun’s grave to apologize, and they must wear mourning clothes and carry Xiao Yun’s coffin to be placed in the Central Province Xiao Family. If you can agree to this, I can relocate the Holy Realm Xiao Family here, and my brother and I will naturally beco mbers of the Xiao Family. If not, we will leave!”
The Ancestor Elders who had participated in the incident had ashen faces, turning to look at the Ancestor.
Apologizing was bearable, but wearing mourning clothes seed to belittle them. How could they agree to such a disrespectful request?
However, the Ancestor nodded, “It’s only right. You indirectly caused the death of my grandson. Not settling scores with you because of your parents is already generous. If you can’t agree even to this condition, then I’ll have to personally take you to Xiao Yun to apologize!”
The spectators’ faces darkened, but they dared not disobey the Ancestor’s words. Otherwise, if he really sent them to et Xiao Yun in hell, they would not be able to return…
Mu Ruyue glanced over their ashen faces and sneered coldly, “But I see everyone is reluctant. If you go to Xiao Yun’s grave like this, I’m afraid he too would feel suppressed.”
“Cough cough!” the Ancestor cleared his throat, releasing a hint of pressure, “What? Are you unwilling to apologize to my grandson, or to wear mourning clothes? If you are unwilling, you can tell . Although I have been in closed-door cultivation for over a hundred years, I have always been a Bright Master and would never force you.”
