Chapter 1181 Internal Affairs of the Mu Clan
"Sister, why are you ignoring that Mu Yuan? He cares so much and waits outside the door." Miao Yitong was puzzled, she had greeted that Mu Yuan when she just entered the city gate.
"You don't understand, that Muyuan's being courteous to me may be just because the elders in the family have something to say, which doesn't explain how much he likes me." Miao Youfu replied flatly.
She herself was not very impressed with Mu Yuan's kindness, but for female monks who had cultivated to her level, it was difficult to capture their hearts with normal pursuit methods. What they needed was birds flying high together.
"If Ms. Miao has no intention of interacting with this person, she just refuses. Isn't it good to use me as a shield?" Ye Tian said.
"Please forgive me, my lord. My mansion is not far ahead. I have already asked someone to clean up a guest room for Brother Ye. In the evening, I ordered the chef at home to prepare a table of dishes for Brother Ye to apologize to you. My sister and I will go to talk to my father first. Please greet me." Miao Youfu didn't answer directly, changed the subject and left with Miao Yitong.
Ye Tian looked at the leaving figure of the sister and shook his head, wondering if he had caused some troubles again by agreeing to come here this time.
Miao Youfu's mansion was built in a grand style, with a big Miao word on the plaque to show its style. If Ye Tian didn't know it, he might even think it was the city lord's mansion.
Just as Ye Tian stopped in front of the door, the door opened, and a young servant greeted him from the mansion.
"The young master is brought by the young lady, right?"
Ye Tian nodded, and the boy led Ye Tian in through the door.
What catches the eye is a large pond with some aquatic plants planted around it. There is also a pavilion in the center of the lake, there are no passages around it, it seems that people need to fly there by themselves, but it is not interesting.
The young man led Ye Tian to the side path. There were some fragrant trees planted on the side of the path. Judging from the appearance, it was also a species that was hard to find outside.
"This Miao clan seems to have some strength." Ye Tian murmured.
The boy heard it and turned around to agree.
"Isn't it? The Miao clan has a place in the entire Hongwu Continent, not to mention the capital city of Nanya. They were one of the main forces fighting against the invasion of the demon world tens of thousands of years ago. Countless people and horses have almost wiped out the family fortune, or it may be the case, the heavens think of our clan's merits, and the talents of this millennium clan have emerged in endlessly, which is the envy of others."
Seeing the proud look of that servant, with the light of faith shining in his eyes, it seems that this Miao tribe has indeed made great contributions to this world, otherwise these servants would not have commented like this.
The boy led Ye Tian to a separate courtyard, and said respectfully.
"This is the guest room that the lady packed up for you. You can use those things and the study room casually, but don't bother the lady in the main room if there is nothing important."
Ye Tian didn't answer, and waved his hand to let the boy back down.
This other courtyard is quite clean, even though it is not as large as the main one, but the sparrow is small and well-equipped. Basically everything that needs to be used is available in this other courtyard.
There is even a small pond and a small pavilion.
Ye Tian smiled slightly, turned his head and went to practice on the bed in the bedroom. These days are a bit tight, and he doesn't have a suitable time to exercise these strengths.
...
Miao Youfu and Miao Yitong walked on the road, heading for the meeting hall of the clan.
They received the news that there was something to announce in the clan today, so they rushed here as soon as they arrived in the city.
"Sister, why are you holding onto that Ye Tianyi?" Miao Yitong shook her sister's hand.
"You still asked me, didn't you say yes at the time?" Miao Youfu tapped her sister's forehead with her finger.
"But at that time... I only agreed with you because of what you said, my sister. I thought he would refuse someone like him who didn't say much." Miao Yitong pursed her lips and looked at the hawkers on the street.
My sister was staring at the front in a daze.
"I really hope that he can agree. If he can take this place in the clan, it would be great."
"Sister, don't you want to marry that Kihara?" The younger sister asked with her head tilted, her ponytail hanging on her shoulders.
Miao Youfu looked at her younger sister and gave her a gentle smile.
"I can't decide this kind of thing, nor can my father decide it. I have to listen to the elders in the clan."
While the two sisters were talking, they had already reached the door of the family mansion and were led in by someone.
When they arrived at the conference hall, the middle-aged man sitting in the main seat saw them with a smile on his face.
"Youfu and Yitong are here, sit down quickly, it's about to start."
The two bowed to the man in the chair, and sat down at the last table next to them.
When Miao Yitong looked up, she saw that Mu Yuan, whom she saw at the gate of the city, was sitting across from her and was smiling at them. She raised her hand to say hello, then turned around and pulled her sister.
"Look, sister, that Muhara is sitting with us."
My sister ignored her this time, and just closed her eyes to rest.
Miao Yitong looked at her sister, stuck out her tongue and adjusted her sitting posture.
"Since everyone is here, let's start the meeting." The old man sitting next to the middle-aged man came out with a cane and knocked on the floor with it.
"The opening of the chamber this time is for two things."
"The first thing is to achieve the marriage between the patriarch's daughter and Mr. Mu as soon as possible."
"The second thing is to determine the ownership of the remaining places in the clan."
After the old man finished speaking, he sat back down again, but the middle-aged man stood up and spoke again.
"Elder Zong, is this young lady's marriage too hasty? With young lady's current cultivation base, there is no need to rush to find a Taoist partner."
"I think it's best to settle this matter early. One of the dowry of the Mu clan is Qinglian Gouyu Wan. Your wife needs this medicine to prolong her life. Is your wife's life and death less important than your daughter's marriage? "
"But if Madam is sober, she will definitely not agree to use Young Fu's marriage as a threat in exchange for a life-saving elixir." The middle-aged man, or the father of the Miao sisters, did not have the slightest retreat in his words.
"Hmph!" The elder snorted, glared at him and turned his head away.
The people sitting below saw the different opinions at the meeting, and their momentum was high.
"This patriarch is really brave. He dared to sing against the elder Zong in public."
"Don't tell me, his surname is not Miao like ours. She was brought back from the outside by the daughter of the former patriarch, and she was sent to this position against all opinions. It's not like we are afraid of something."
Miao Youfu, who was sitting at the end of the table, heard everyone's discussion, went to the front of the hall and stood still.
"Father, I am willing to marry into the Mu clan."
"Youfu, what are you talking about? There's no place for you to talk, just sit down." The middle-aged man urged Miao Youfu back to his seat.
"Just sit down, Kan Zhiming, don't think that you can control everything in the clan by sitting in the position of the patriarch." The old man who was sitting on the side saw that the middle-aged man wanted to make this matter obsolete. , out of words scolded.
"Out of admiration, I call you patriarch, but this is my wife and my daughter. This is my family matter. There is no need for the clan to exchange my daughter's marriage as a bargaining chip..."
"My lord father."
Before Kan Zhiming finished speaking, Miao Youfu interrupted him.
"I don't want to marry Mr. Mu, but I need some time to get along and cultivate feelings. Isn't this just the opening day of the land of return? I want to take advantage of this trip to take care of some things and get married when I come back .”
"Son, you..."
Kan Zhiming wanted to say something more, but Miao Youfu stopped him with his eyes.
"Master Patriarch, don't worry, if the Pearl of the Miao Clan marries into our Mu Clan, I won't let her suffer any grievances."
Mu Yuan also stood beside Miao Youfu and spoke.
Seeing this scene, the elder Zong lost some anger on his face.
"It's so good, just according to what Youfu said, we can have a big wedding when they come back."
Kan Zhiming wanted to say something else, but his own daughter came out and said such things. As a father and as the head of the clan, he couldn't sing the opposite, so he sat back on the throne angrily.
"Since this matter is so settled, you can go back to it, and then we can talk about the second matter." The old man waved his hand, signaling the two to back down.
Mu Yuan returned to his seat, but Miao Youfu was still standing in the hall.
"What's the matter, Youfu, do you have anything to say?" The elder Zong forced a smile on his face, and asked Miao Youfu with a pleasant face.
"I want to occupy the place left in the clan."
As soon as these words came out, the originally quiet atmosphere began to discuss again.
Elder Zong shook his crutches, said quiet with aura and luck, then turned around and asked Miao Youfu.
"Don't you already have a quota, why do you want another quota?"
"I was bewitched by evil people on this trip. Fortunately, I was rescued by a Taoist. I promised him that I would give him this quota. The Miao Clan must not break their promise." Miao Youfu said with her head down.
"Nonsense, how can such an important quota be given up so easily." The elder was furious again, yelling at Miao Youfu.
Kan Zhiming moved to stand in front of Miao Youfu.
"My daughter doesn't need you to teach me a lesson. Since agreeing to give out this quota is equivalent to the Miao clan agreeing to give out this quota, if you don't grant it, I'm afraid it will insult the reputation of the Miao clan outside the world."
"That's right, the elder calm down first, let's listen to what they have to say." Others persuaded them kindly.
This elder Zong seemed to know his gaffe just now, and adjusted himself a bit.
"Youfu, tell me how that person saved you."
"When I was young, I found half of the pendants in the family mansion, and later..." Seeing this, Miao Youfu began to talk, and changed to another version to tell the elders of the meeting hall.
"Later that man came out and rescued my sister and me from the hijacking bandits. At that time, I learned that this man was also on his way to return to the land, so I promised him to give him the place left in our clan. Thank you."
Everyone nodded after hearing this.
It is true that the man saved the patriarch's daughter in such a dangerous situation, it is not an exaggeration for the clan to thank them with something.
"Miao Yitong, is what your sister said true?" Elder Zong pointed at Miao Yitong with his cane, motioning for her to come forward and answer.
"Sister...what she said is true." Although she didn't know why her sister changed the version of what happened in the water, and didn't mention Elder Zu, she still agreed with her sister.
"There is nothing to blame for this kind of behavior. It's just that the clan got this quota with great difficulty. If you give it away like this, is it worthy of the contribution of those people in the clan?" .
This quota was originally for this Mu Yuan, but he did not expect to give it to Miao Youfu first, which made it difficult for him to explain to that Mu Clan.
"I think so, Elder Zong." Na Muyuan stood up again and said.
"you say."
"Miss Miao said that the man's martial arts are strong. I don't think so. I've seen that man before. He is ordinary and has no extraordinary aura fluctuations."
"I think this matter should be settled in the ring battle. If that person beats me, this quota shows that he is indeed capable of getting it. If he can't win against me, the quota will be dealt with by the clan, and the clan will give him some other treasures in return. Thank you."
The method proposed by Muhara is feasible. After all, even if they are famous and famous, they have to work hard to get this kind of quota, so they don't want to give it away for nothing.
"Well, let's settle it for the time being. If the royal power can win against Mr. Mu, we can indeed consider asking him to go and collect some treasures for us. If not, I think this quota will be given to Mu Yuan. , anyway, we will marry in the future, he is now considered half of our Miao clan."
Miao Youfu wanted to say something, but was stopped by Kan Zhiming.
Ye Tian was a little bored practicing in the mansion, so he went out for a stroll.
With his current state, even though he was only a step away from stepping into the realm of asking heaven, he still couldn't figure out where the door was. , look at the scenery.
Nanya Capital City is famous throughout the Hongwu Continent. If you want to go to other continents, you must pass through this city, because only the teleportation array here can reach multiple continents, and the teleportation array is also very stable, so you don't have to worry about collapse. of.
As time passed, there was a lot of people coming and going, and the monks gathered together, often setting up stalls on the street to sell some things.
"One hundred-year-old sky crystal wood sells for three hundred jade crystals."
"The rough embryo of the imperial weapon just dug out from the ground is worth tens of thousands of jade crystals, and the current price is three thousand. Come and buy it quickly."
"The fresh stones just dug out from the Nanshan mining area may contain unrivaled treasures..."
The things sold on the streets here are much more than those on Ziluo Island before, and the things are also a bit weird. What kind of fresh stones are they gambling stones?
Ye Tian remembered that when he passed by the Demon Slaughtering City earlier, he could see the objects in the wall in his eyes. I wonder if it can have the same effect on this stone?
Ye Tian did what he said, and came to the stone betting booth.
A crowd of people had already gathered in front of the booth, carefully observing the shape of these stones.
Some of these stones have fallen off, revealing fragments of spar inside. Some people always think that they have missed it. After buying this kind of stone, they find that it was only artificially placed on it, and it is not an innate rare growth. Among the stones, most of these gambling stones are cheating money.
Ye Tian looked around casually, but didn't see any stones wrapped with rare treasures, which made him wonder if his eyes didn't work well for such stones.
He rubbed his eyes, and suddenly saw that there was a special breath in the rock under the stall owner sitting under his butt, which blocked his detection, which made him interested and pulled the stall owner.
The stall owner was introducing stones to others. Most of the people who gathered here were looking at them, and few bought them at his stall. Looking at Ye Tian's young appearance, he thought he was just asking casually, but no one care about him.
Ye Tian saw that the stall owner was ignoring him, and the more he stood aside and observed the stone, the more frightened he became. There were strands of chaotic aura coming out of it, as if it was about to crush the heavens.
Could it be the Chaos Stone?
Ye Tian had owned a Chaos Stone before, but he used it up to kill that Bai Feng. The Chaos Stone he found before was only a small piece, and the stone on which the stall owner was sitting was more than half a foot long.
If it is indeed wrapped with Chaos Stone, it can be used to sacrifice and refine it to become the rough embryo of a dao sword.
"How do you sell the rock you're sitting on?"
The stall owner turned his head, seeing that it was Ye Tian's fault, he turned back impatiently.
"Ask and ask, please ask for the price after you have made a decision. Don't waste your time by always asking if you can't afford it."
Hearing what he said, the people around the booth were a little bit embarrassed, most of them came to join in the fun.
Generally speaking, only rich children would come to see such things as gambling stones. Most normal cultivators would not think of getting rich overnight with such things in exchange for cultivation resources.
"How do you sell the stone you're sitting on?" Ye Tian asked again, and the stall owner turned his head and looked at him suspiciously.
"Do you really want to buy it?"
"Yes, I really want to buy it." After getting Ye Tian's affirmative answer, the stall owner lowered his head and looked at the stone Ke Yi was sitting on.
This stone was originally taken as a chair when I saw it at the time, and I didn't think about selling it, but since someone didn't explain that there is something precious in this stone.
The stall owner extended some spiritual energy to sense downwards, but he was also blocked by that layer of breath, unable to detect what was inside the stone, so he pretended to be a little bit reluctant.
"I originally wanted to put this stone at the bottom of the box, but it seems that someone with predestined relationship found it, so let's sell it for 10,000 jade crystals."
"What? 10,000?" Seeing the stall owner mentioning the price, the crowd all said that he was a big talker. Who would dare to ask for a price of 10,000 for this kind of stone on the street? Did he have no idea what he could produce? .
"Okay." Ye Tian took out a money bag from his waist without hesitation. He had put the jadeite in it just now, and now he just took it out to pay the stall owner.
When the stall owner saw that Ye Tian didn't pay back any price, he thought he had been taken advantage of. The place where these ores were mined had never produced any good things. He didn't think he would be missed. The price is still up to 5,000 jade stones, maybe it doesn't need 5,000, but 4,000 is fine, unexpectedly Ye Tian is straightforward, just pay the money, and the next step is to take away the stone he is sitting on .
The stall owner quickly stepped aside, Ye Tian raised the stone in his hand to observe carefully, and the people around him also surrounded him.
But they don't have Ye Tian's sensory ability, so they can't detect what's inside the stone.
"Young man, you bought this stone here, so cut it here, so that we can see what is worth this jadeite." Everyone persuaded Ye Tian to cut this stone here, but Ye Tian Have other plans.
"I bought this stone just for eye contact, and it's not my wish that nothing will come out of it." After finishing speaking, he put the stone into the Qiankun bag and turned to leave.
"My lord, please stop. I would like to pay 20,000 jade crystals to buy this stone."
Everyone's eyes widened, and who is it that wants to pay 20,000 jade crystals to buy this stone?
Looking for the reputation, the crowd was not surprised at all, and the peddlers nearby all gathered around him when they saw this person.
"The son of the city lord is here to hang out again."
"Every time I come here, I take care of these hawkers. It can be said that most of the stall owners in the city are raised by this little city owner. Seeing him is like seeing your own father."
Hearing this introduction, Ye Tian just turned his head and glanced at the surrounded person before leaving. After all, if it is a good thing, it would be bad to open it in front of so many people and be missed by others.
Ye Tian headed towards Miao Youfu's mansion, passing a slave trade stall on the way.
Those people or fairy beasts were trained in human form, and their hands and feet were buckled by metal buttons and imprisoned in that small space. They were stacked one by one in two layers for those who walked by to choose.
Ye Tian didn't pay attention to this booth at first, he never thought about buying this kind of slave.
This kind of slave is engraved with the mark of slavery, and at certain times of the day, it will always be painful. Ye Tian couldn't bear to look at this kind of thing.
But he is not easy to change, this is also the way some people make a living, so he has been hesitant about making such a decision.
When he was passing by, a hand grabbed his trousers, he looked along that hand, and saw a thin orc girl looking at him eagerly, but the slave owner kicked her the next step kick.
"I'm sorry that these efforts are not eye-catching, and my husband's trousers are dirty. I will punish them when I go back."
Ye Tian didn't care about this, he squatted down and looked at the beast girl carefully.
This beast woman's ears are different from human beings, they grow on the head, some parts of her body are not perfectly combined like ordinary beastmen, and some parts are covered with fur, she is malnourished at first glance, she should be a kind of feline beastman .
Seeing that Ye Tian was interested, the stall owner also knelt down and watched the beast girl sell with him.
"Young master has good eyesight. This is our last lion girl with a pure bloodline. Although she has not reached maturity yet, once she matures, she will be absolutely capable of fighting against the Taixu realm monks, and she will not be at a disadvantage at all."
"You are not afraid that the wind will flash your tongue." Ye Tian observed carefully for a moment, and he had a bottom line in his heart.
How can this be the blood of an ordinary lion? The white fur is dotted with a little golden light, but it cannot be seen because it is stained with dirty things. Just because of this, it is not like those ordinary lion people.
