3309 The Single Word: Greed

"You're always messing up, never looking for reasons within yourself, always blaming everyone else. Why don't you say your skills aren't good enough, and you got eliminated by a big girl?"

"But she's older than me!" Mu Wuzi retorted, unconvinced.

The father and son grumbled and walked away. Mu Jingfeng stepped out from behind a tree, casting a cold glance at their retreating figures, then stood in place, specifically waiting for the little poker face.

It wasn't until half an hour later that Mu Jingfeng finally saw the little poker face emerging from the Old Master's courtyard.

His face was grim. He took a step forward and blocked her path. "I have something to say to you."

"There's nothing for me to say to you," Qiao Mu replied coldly, giving him a glance. Too lazy to engage further, she simply brushed past him.

"Stop!" Mu Jingfeng was so enraged that his face flushed and his neck swelled. "I ask you, can you draw teleportation talisman arrays??"

Qiao Mu paused, turned to look at him, her eyes narrowing coldly. "Did Mu Rouhuan tell you?"

"Never mind who told me, just tell me, yes or no."

Qiao Mu scoffed, immediately giving him an unhesitating eye-roll. "None of your business."

Mu Jingfeng was first enraged, then overjoyed.

The little poker face hadn't denied it, which meant it was true.

Mu Jingfeng couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement. As the head of a Talisman Family, he knew better than anyone how rare teleportation talisman arrays were.

A teleportation talisman, which was impossible to find in the black market even for millions of spirit coins, his daughter could actually draw it!

What did that mean?

It meant Qiao Mu had a method for drawing teleportation talismans.

The thought made Mu Jingfeng uncontrollably excited!

Teleportation talismans, which had been lost for hundreds of years—his daughter, Mu Jingfeng's daughter, could actually draw them?

What incredibly exciting news!

It was important to know that the method for drawing these talismans had long been lost to the Talisman Family. The existing teleportation talisman arrays were all left behind by past ancestors. Each one used meant one less; they simply didn't circulate on the market.

Just thinking that he might gain access to the method for drawing teleportation talismans made Mu Jingfeng's heart swell with joy.

If this happened, his position in the Mu family would not only be greatly elevated, gaining more support from the elders, but he also thought that perhaps no one would ever be able to threaten his position as family head again.

Additionally, the Mu family's reputation could surely reach new heights, and the entire Mu family would flourish under his leadership, bringing unparalleled glory to their ancestors.

Mu Jingfeng seemed to already envision the Mu family's future, his entire being beaming as if bathed in a spring breeze.

"Qiaoqiao, you are a daughter of my Mu family. What you do should naturally be for the benefit of the Mu family. The method for drawing teleportation talismans is extremely important to our Mu family. If you are willing..."

"I'm not willing," Qiao Mu's four cold words were like a bucket of ice water, drenching Mu Jingfeng from head to toe, chilling him to the bone.

Mu Jingfeng immediately flew into a rage, shouting, "You! What did you say??"

"Your hearing needs fixing!" Qiao Mu glanced at him, then left him there and walked directly towards Yulan Courtyard.

Where words don't fit, half a sentence is too much — that was truly accurate.

She truly didn't know where he got the audacity to believe that Lady Qiaoqiao would tell him the method for drawing teleportation talismans.

Heh heh!

She would tell the cats and dogs on the street before she'd benefit him.

Save your effort. Always deceiving yourself, thinking Lady Qiaoqiao would compromise like Mother did?

Dream on!
