Chapter 3617: 4.1217 Liar!

When the old man first tumbled from his stool, one leg was slightly raised, and his hands were spread upwards, striking a pose of struggling vigorously.

Now, he was utterly mortified, stuck in that exact pose, his facial features rigid, muscles twitching slightly, and his murky old eyes practically spitting fire.

Qiao Mu didn't even bother to glance at the old man. She simply turned and strode away, not uttering a single word.

"Family Head." Three old men walked in through the door and turned to look in the direction the little one had gone.

"Ah, First Elder, Second Elder, Third Elder, you're finally here," Mu Cang said with a bitter smile, standing up from his seat.

"You all saw what just happened," Mu Cang sighed. "The Old Ancestor's will cannot be defied. See if you can find a way to resolve this matter."

Mu Jingfeng's cheek muscles twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but blurt out, "Father!"

"Jingfeng." Old Master Mu slightly raised his hand, stopping his son from speaking, and looked at him. "I have already decided on this matter! This is the Old Ancestor's command, not something you or I can change arbitrarily."

Mu Jingfeng clenched his fists tightly, trying to suppress the furious trembling throughout his body. "Father, but you saw it! What kind of attitude was that?"

"She practically tore our entire Mu family, from top to bottom, to shreds, saying we're useless."

Third brother Mu Jingyuan couldn't help but interject coldly, "Was she wrong?"

"A scattered mess," Mu Jingyuan said, turning and also leaving.

Only a group of huffing and puffing elders remained, along with Mu Jingxing and the others who were so angry their entire bodies ached.

As for Mu Xingchen, he had already quietly risen and walked to the doorway when his sister's outburst began.

After his sister left, he had followed her out.

Now, the two siblings were walking towards the Mu family's mountain gate, conversing in low voices.

"Little sister, you should reconsider," Mu Xingchen said with a bitter smile. "Although the Mu family has indeed been a bit disorganized these past years, since the Old Ancestor has placed such high hopes on you, why don't you..."

"Don't say anything, Big Brother," Qiao Mu scrunched up her little nose, a displeased expression on her face. "That old man just wants to trick me! He said he'd give me Chaoyang Tower for free, without asking for anything, and absolutely wouldn't give me any tasks! See, he'll be asking for compensation later!"

What a shameless old grandpa, a big liar!!

Grand Master Qiao Qiao huffily turned her small head, walking towards the Mu family's mountain gate. "I don't want to deal with your family's affairs. A pile of troubles, and a bunch of idiots who just eat and do nothing!"

Saying this, Qiao Mu looked sympathetically at her Big Brother. "Big Brother, look at your family's elders. Only Elder Dao, at least, has entered the realm of a Yellow-tier Grand Talisman Master. Who are the rest of them? Not even as good as Mu Jiateng from a branch family."

Big Brother, it must have been very hard for you to stay in a family like this all these years.

As a genius, you must have had a lot to do!

Normally, you must have been constantly ordered around by those freeloading elders.

In the Mu family, the Elder Council was considered somewhat transcendent to the regular family members.

"Heh," Qiao Mu said, showing a disdainful expression, clearly looking down on the Mu family's Elder Council.

Mu Xingchen couldn't help but sigh upon hearing this.

He didn't know what to say to change his little sister's mind.
