Chapter 188 So Ambitious
Mu Jingling and Mu Nanjin chatted for another hour before reluctantly leaving.
After Mu Jingling left, Mu Qinyi brought Gu Ming and the others to Gongbo Jingfei.
Because Che Jinglan and the others were wearing robes made from Mu Nanjin, Gongbo Jingfei, even though he was in the tribulation stage, could not see through their cultivation and identity, but he still arranged them to stay in Mu Nanjin's courtyard.
It is said to be a courtyard, but in fact it is larger than Prime Minister Wu's mansion, and it is not a problem to accommodate hundreds of people.
On the third day after Mu Nanjin returned to the uncle's house, Mu Jingling took Mu Nanjin to visit the uncle's house and told Mu Nanjin the general situation at home.
"Nan Nan, you have been living outside the world of cultivation. You probably don't know that people in the world of cultivation live very long. Without any accidents, the shortest lifespan is nearly three hundred years old, and the longest lifespan is ten or twenty thousand years old. . Since everyone has different life spans, the time to get married is also different. Some people know that their qualifications are not good, so they will get married and have children in their twenties and thirties. Some people have good qualifications and will practice hard in the early stage. , wait until you are hundreds or thousands of years old before finding a Taoist partner, just like your father, who did not marry me until he was approaching the period of tribulation. However, there is an age difference between me and him of more than 8,000 years, and there is a 3,000-year age gap between you and your uncle. How old. Another example is the eldest elder of the uncle's family. He is already five thousand years old and is your father's great-nephew. However, according to his seniority, he still calls you cousin."
Mu Jingling touched Mu Nanjin's head: "I am telling you this to tell you that there is a thousand-year age difference between you and the second and third heirs, but they are younger than you. The third heir It is Gong Boyu, the grandson of the great elder. If he sees you, he will call you aunt. The second heir, Gong Boxin, is a junior from the collateral line. He is younger than Gong Boyu, but He is better than Gong Boyu in all aspects. But he is a collateral member after all, and it is not easy to get direct support. Therefore, everyone is currently more optimistic about Gong Boyu."
"You must be wondering why Gongbo's family has many cultivators with higher realms than Gongbo Yu and others. Why do they choose the younger generation as their heirs but not those with higher realms? This is because it takes a lot of manpower to train a family head. and material resources, but people with high realms are not far away from death or ascension. The uncle's family does not want to waste huge resources on a person who is about to 'leave' the uncle's family, so they can only select talents from the younger generation to inherit the family head. Bit."
"Honestly, I don't want you to fight for the position of the head of the family, but unless you are willing to give up, others will let you go. Some people are worried that you threaten their status and will try every means to get rid of you."
"You were just born back then, and you were very young. Even if your father was in the tribulation period, he might not be able to guarantee your safety. He was busy with endless things every day, so he couldn't take care of you every day. Even if he could protect you, Even as an adult, we can't protect you all your life, so we can only bear the pain and let your uncle take you away from your father-in-law's house, and let your uncle try every means to make you grow up in a short time."
As a parent, who doesn’t want to keep their children by their side?
If not out of helplessness, who would be willing to send the child away?
At the beginning, Gongbo Jingfei had seriously considered giving the best resources to the child when he was a genius who had cultivated for thousands of years. After twenty years, the child would be at the Golden Core stage at most and still not as good as the other two. The heir could only take risks and let Mu Qinyi take the child away in search of adventure.
Mu Nanjin nodded to express his understanding.
Mu Jingling took Mu Nanjin for a walk and then returned to the main courtyard.
The servant came to report: "Madam, the great elder and others are here. They said they want to see the young master."
Mu Jingling frowned: "Where is the head of the family?"
The elders of her uncle's family looked down upon her very much.
If she hadn't been from the Mu family and her uncle Jingfei insisted on marrying her, she wouldn't have been able to enter her uncle's house.
After all, the descendants of the father-in-law family have always wanted to inherit the position of the family head, but they chose to marry someone with a broken spiritual root to discredit the family. Otherwise, there would not be a second heir and a third heir competing for the position of the family head.
The servant replied: "The master of the house is meeting guests, and it is not convenient to see the elder and the others at the moment."
Mu Jingling rubbed her eyebrows: "I understand, I will take Nan Nan to see them now."
After the servants left, she said to Mu Nanjin: "Nan Nan, don't be afraid. Although the great elders and others don't think highly of you, they don't dare to blatantly attack you on the home owner's territory."
"Um."
Mu Nanjin followed Mu Jingling to the hall.
There were five middle-aged men and a handsome young man standing in the hall.
When they saw Mu Jingling coming in with Mu Nanjin, they immediately looked at Mu Nanjin with appraising eyes.
Because Mu Nanjin had suppressed her cultivation and was still wearing a robe, the Great Elder and the others could not clearly see her state for a while.
"I've seen the madam, I've seen the young master." The middle-aged man and the young man said to the wood crystal spirit.
Although they looked down upon the Mu Jingling, they still had to pretend to be respectful.
Mu Jingling nodded, and then introduced the elder and the others to Mu Nanjin: "Nan Nan, let me introduce to you. The one on the left is the elder of the uncle's family..."
[Tsk, tsk, this is the Great Elder. He looks very honest and honest, but in fact he is very ambitious. 】
Everyone: "..."
The great elder frowned.
[If it weren’t for his older age and higher level, he would still want to compete for the position of head of the family. 】
[When my parents got married, he was very happy because his people finally had a chance to win the title of head of the family. But in order not to show his ambition, he could only pretend to be against my parents. Everyone thought he was doing it for the uncle's family, but they didn't know that he was doing it for himself. 】
Everyone: "!!!"
"Hu……"
The great elder lost his voice as soon as he said a word.
He was shocked.
"you……"
The young man next to the great elder glared at Mu Nanjin, but he had just said a word and was unable to utter a word.
Mu Nanjin raised her eyebrows: "Mom, this is..."
Mu Jingling introduced her: "He is the great elder's grandson Gong Boyu, the third heir in line."
Mu Nanjin: "Oh."
[It turns out that he is Gong Bo Yu, the great elder’s grandson. He is uglier than Gong Bo Jing Fei, and he thought he was so handsome. 】
Everyone: "..."
[The strength is also much worse than Gong Bojin's. If Gong Bojin hadn't been a member of the side clan, he wouldn't have been able to compete for the position of head of the family. 】
[Also, the uncle’s family keeps saying that it only depends on strength, but in fact it also depends on whether the blood is pure or not. 】
[The uncle’s family can’t choose people. 】
Seeing that the elders' faces were getting darker and darker, Mu Jingling quickly coughed and said, "Nan Nan, this is the second elder."
[Although the second elder’s words are unpleasant and unpleasant, he is actually quite good. He is the only one who treats my mother as a real wife. 】
Mu Jingling looked at the second elder in surprise. (End of chapter)
