Chapter 1078 But Yin-Yang Pupil?

In fact, Mu Fangli had no prejudice against Ye Zhichen. Even if he had, the source of his bad feelings today was only because Ye Zhichen was also related to Mu Xueling's death.

Rather than prejudice against Ye Zhichen, it was more like taking out his anger on him.

Putting aside the factor of his daughter, he actually admired Ye Zhichen. A poor boy relied on his own efforts to ascend to heaven, not only won the reputation of Sword Saint, but also became the master of a peak of great importance in Taixu Palace. Such talents are admired wherever they are. But his two daughters were like moths to a flame and were close to him, which gave him a headache.

But today, Li Chuyi's words woke him up.

Li Chuyi was right. He was the least qualified to speak on the matter of Mu Xueqing and Ye Zhichen, even though he was Mu Xueqing's biological father.

Mu Xueling's matter was said to be a decision made by the upper echelons of the Mu family, but how could he be free from involvement?

If he had not been persuaded after weighing the pros and cons, and thought that the old guys were right, why would he have come forward to persuade Mu Xueling to marry into the palace?

If he had not interfered, Mu Xueling might have been living with Ye Zhichen somewhere. Although he would be angry, depressed, and say that he would just pretend that he had never given birth to this daughter, at least his daughter would still be alive, and would not just become an indelible and painful mark in his memory.

He still suspects that Yuwen Tailuo killed Mu Xueling, but aren't the Mu family and himself the murderer?

Whenever he thinks of this, he feels heartbroken and regrets it.

If time could be reversed, if everything could be done again, he would never use filial piety as a tool for kidnapping, and would not agree to other elders to lie that the Mu family was suppressed to trick Mu Xueling back.

The Mu family stood at the top of the human world with "Thousands of Machines and Ten Thousand Deviations", but they calculated the heavens, the earth, the universe, and all things in the world, but they could not calculate their own fate. If he had known the result of today, he would rather be angry, even if he died of anger, he would not want to see Mu Xueling die, he hoped she would live happily.

What made Mu Fangli regret the most was that the ancestors clearly had ancestral precepts passed down, the Yuwen family and the Mu family could cooperate but they could not mix blood, the iron law-like precepts were passed down from generation to generation, and every child of the Mu family knew it, but he ignored it intentionally or unintentionally.

Not only him, but almost everyone in the Mu family was like this.

Ten thousand years is too long, and the iron law is inevitably covered with rust. Moreover, the ancestral precepts are not the family rules after all. In this generation, it is almost just a routine recitation, and not many people take the ancestral precepts seriously.

The family rules of the Mu family clearly stipulate that the children of the Mu family must not ascend the throne to become emperors, and can only assist the Yuwen family in consolidating their power as heavenly masters. The ancestral precepts are not the family rules, and no one dares to violate them. But everyone has ambitions. Even if they are already in the clouds, they will still want to go up a level and stand above the sky. The second son has been the emperor for more than 10,000 years, and the descendants of the Mu family are inevitably moved.

Since the clan rules cannot be violated, the ancestral precepts of admonition have become a reason for stretching.

Under the influence of ambition, many clan elders, including him, assumed that the admonition left by the ancestor Mu Qiming, "never blood mingling", was an attitude to appease the Yuwen clan, indicating that the Mu family absolutely had no intention of getting involved in the throne, and there would always be only one tiger on the mountain of Dayan.

In this case, the matter is simple.

For 10,000 years, the Yuwen clan and the Mu family have always cooperated tacitly, and rarely had any grudges. The imperial power of the Yuwen clan is stable, and the status of the Mu family is as stable as Mount Tai, and there has never been any sign of wanting to replace it. Now the Yuwen clan is interested in marriage, and has taken the initiative to propose a grand idea that makes the Mu family very excited, so why not do it?

Let alone the idea, if a child is born in the future, he will definitely be the best candidate for the throne. According to the rules of the Mu family, the children born by the children who marry out have no relationship with the Mu family and are not considered members of the Mu family, so even if he ascends the throne, it does not violate the rules of the Mu family.

And this child does have half Mu family blood, even if the Mu family does not recognize it, this is a fact that cannot be ignored. In the eyes of outsiders, this child is half a member of the Mu family. Once he ascends the throne, the status of the Mu family will naturally rise and become a true uncrowned royal family.

Because of that plan and this idea, Mu Fangli agreed to the decision of the elders in a split second. As a result, the Mu family lost a proud daughter, and he himself was almost destroyed.

From then on, he understood that the admonitions of the ancestors were not just admonitions, but also some kind of hidden meaning.

No wonder Mu Xueling told him three times not to regret it. He thought it was just a girl's angry words. It was not until everything was irreversible that he realized that Mu Xueling must have calculated something and felt that there was a hidden disaster. But because of filial piety, she did not say it clearly and obeyed his and the Mu family's wishes.

Thinking about it today, Mu Xueling was helpless at the time. She had no interest in that plan from beginning to end, and he could see it.

And he knew his temper. Mu Fangli had been domineering for most of his life. Even if Mu Xueling had made it clear at the time, he would never believe her words without solid evidence. He would only think that she was making trouble to find a reason to get out of it.

Mu Xueling woke him up with her death, and also woke up Mu Xueqing. When Mu Xueqing ran away from home, she was able to leave the Mu family, the imperial capital, and even Dayan without any danger. Wasn't there his connivance in this?

There was only one precious daughter left, and he hoped that Mu Xueqing would live a good life and live the life she wanted. But today, why did his old habits relapse when he heard that she had a crush on him?

After thinking about it, Mu Fangli could only smile bitterly.

The answer is simple.

Because the person she likes is Ye Zhichen.

"God's will?"

Mu Fangli murmured to himself, looking up at the sky behind the roof.

Li Chuyi curled his lips: "I already said that we are in love, God's will is nothing! Even if it is intentional, it is my mother's blessing, and it has nothing to do with the thief God!"

"How come this kid talks so freely! There is a spirit in the sky, and you will be punished for talking nonsense!"

Mu Fangli gave him a stern look. How could Li Chuyi care? In terms of closeness, he was much closer to "God" than Mu Fangli was to "God". The three thieves to God were all his great uncles.

Seeing Li Chuyi's nonchalant look, Mu Fangli couldn't help but think of Mu Xueqing when he was a child. They were both rebellious and deviant and didn't care about anything. A knowing smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and immediately His face straightened up, pretending to be serious.

"I am your grandfather after all. Even if you don't recognize me, I am still your elder in terms of cultivation and age. There is something wrong with what I just said, and it's okay for you to point it out, but can your tone be more respectful? "

The little fat man stared. Did the old man start climbing up the hierarchy because he couldn't get married?

Do you want to confront him?

After thinking about it, he decided to let it go. The old man was right. He was his grandfather after all, and besides, he had to lean against his big tree to enjoy the shade. It would not be good if Tu suddenly offended him with his words.

However, issues of principle still need to be adhered to.

Clearing his throat, the little fat man asked: "Tell me first, what are you going to do about my Aunt Qing and my Uncle Ye? Do you still want to break them up? I advise you, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, so you should take it easy!"

"You said that Emperor Shan Gao is far away, is it useful for me to object? Do you think I can kill her at Taixu Palace and snatch her back?"

The old man puffed up his cheeks angrily, but his heart blossomed.

As expected of his own grandson, his prickly temper is exactly like his own when he was young!

"So you agree?"

Li Chuyi was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the old man was actually quite easy to talk to.

Seeing Mu Fangli nod his head casually with a stern look on his face, he felt happy. A smile that made both Li Sinian and Xiao Erhei feel ashamed instantly appeared on his face, and he leaned forward with a frown on his face.

"Grandpa, you are my real grandpa! I am young and speak upright, so don't take offense if I speak harshly! Are you thirsty? Come, I'll have someone give you some water. Xiaoerhei, Heizi? Hey, I forgot It’s gone, it’s okay, I’ll pour it for you myself!”

Although he had heard about it for a long time, when he saw it with his own eyes, Mu Fangli still twitched his face fiercely, secretly thinking that the temper of this two-skinned man definitely did not follow his own, it must be the bad breeding of the Yuwen family that spoiled my precious grandson's temper.

After holding down the little fat man who was working hard but without success, Mu Fangli said angrily and funny: "Grandpa, don't scream, it's grandpa!"

"Hey, grandpa spends a lot of time away from home! You are my grandpa, my real grandpa!"

The sound of "Grandpa" made Mu Fangli feel happy, and he felt so happy that even the wrinkles on his face opened with a smile.

But at this time, Li Chuyi changed the topic, lowered his face and said quietly: "But before you become my grandfather, you have to tell me something clearly. My mother, how did she die? Was it really due to dystocia? "

The atmosphere that had just warmed up instantly cooled down, and Mu Fangli lost his smile as he looked at Li Chu without speaking for a long time.

Li Chuyi was not in a hurry and waited quietly with an expressionless face.

After a long time, Mu Fangli suddenly turned his eyes and stared straight into his eyes.

"Child, are these eyes of yours yin-yang pupils?"

Li Chuyi was shocked. Yin-Yang Tong is another name for Yin-Yang Dao Eye. Mu Fangli actually knew his secret? !

"Don't be afraid. I know it's not strange. I also know where your eyes came from. You are right. Your mother died not only because of dystocia, but also because of your eyes."

Li Chuyi was stunned.

"What's the meaning?"

Mu Fangli did not answer in a hurry, but first waved to Li Chuyi to sit down. Knowing that Li Chuyi was reluctant to touch anything in the room, he waved his sleeves and took out a set of teacups, picked up the teapot and filled a cup for each of them.

When Li Chuyi couldn't help but curse, Mu Fangli finally cleared his thoughts after taking a sip of tea and let out a long sigh.

"On the first day of the new year, do you know how many Yan Emperors have ascended to the immortal world in the thousands of years since Dayan was founded?"

Li Chu nodded: "Not one."

He knew this, the Taoist priest once told him.

"What about the Mu family? Do you know how many members of the Mu family have ascended to the immortal world?"

"Well...I don't know, there should be a few, right?"

"wrong!"

Mu Fangli shook his head heavily: "There is not one! In ten thousand years, no one from the two top families of Dayan, the Yuwen family and the Mu family, has become an immortal! Not only us, but also all the sects and families born in Dayan No one has ascended to the Immortal Realm, and the only two people who have ascended to the Immortal Realm are outsiders. One is from Mobei, and the other is from the Nanming Sword Sect in the Far South! Those two people only ascended normally, and the local monks of Dayan are better than them. There are countless times, but every time the Immortal Gate opens, there is no such opportunity. Why do you think this is?"

Of course Li Chuyi knew why, but he couldn't say it, so he shook his head gently.

"Because we are too prosperous!"

“Huh?”

This answer was something Li Chuyi had not expected. He had thought Mu Fangli would say that he was abandoned by heaven because he had seized the destiny of the human world, and that was why they had lost their chance to become immortals.
