Chapter 1080 It Is Said
In this way, Li Chuyi settled down in the Mu family.
Mu Fangli wanted to arrange him in Mu Xueling's courtyard, but Li Chuyi refused without hesitation, with an extremely firm attitude.
The old man was kind, but Li Chuyi also had his own ideas. The courtyard might be the last mark of Mu Xueling left in the world, and it was like a piece of pure land in his heart for him. He wished he could stay there every day, but he couldn't.
He was afraid that this piece of pure land would be contaminated by the dust of the secular world. He couldn't tolerate any impurities mixed with his mother's breath, including his own. Just come and see when you miss her, but you absolutely can't live there.
Mu Fangli understood his grandson's mood very well, but he was more distressed.
So the old man waved his hand and directly ordered people to clear the house closest to the courtyard, regardless of whether Li Chuyi and others would be too big to live in. He just wanted to give his grandson the best and not let his grandson suffer any grievances.
And that house originally had an owner, but the old patriarch personally spoke, who dared to say a word?
So, Li Chuyi and a few companions moved into the mansion where it took a long time to get an echo. They spent most of their time in Mu Xueling's courtyard, and the rest of their time was busy running around in their "new home".
It was indeed running around, there was no way, the house was too big.
The little fat man once suspected that old man Mu had ulterior motives, and deliberately found such a house for him to practice his legs because he was too fat!
You said that the house itself was not small, and there was even a magic circle arranged inside to widen the space!
When they first moved in, Li Chuyi curiously pulled Li Sinian to measure it roughly, and found that the area of the house was almost as wide as half of the waist of Shenjian Peak. Ye Zhichen's thatched cottage was not even as big as the smallest storage room here. And this was only the first floor. Counting the two floors above and the large yard outside the house, he estimated that a small family of one or two hundred people could live in it without any problem.
Later, I found out that the original residents here were indeed a small clan of the Mu family, and the owner was the second son of a certain elder of the Mu family. He, his descendants who did not split up, and the guards and servants who served them, a total of more than 300 people lived here for hundreds of years, until Mu Fangli gave an oral order and they moved out, cleaned up and gave it to Li Chuyi.
The little fat man was speechless, but he didn't expect that he really guessed it right.
I was thinking that this was a master who didn't mind the trouble to make his nest so big and complicated, from the nursery to the martial arts training ground, from the elementary school to the preaching ground, everything that should be there and shouldn't be there is available, just like a small mountain gate. It turned out that there was really a big family living here. Is this considered a cuckoo occupying the magpie's nest?
No matter how Li Chuyi thought about it, he felt like a little bully, and his heart was suddenly happy.
When I was a child, I envied those high-ranking officials who were ostentatious. I thought that when I had money, I would get a big house with a Taoist priest and become a master. I didn't expect that my dream would come true today.
When you are a master, you naturally need someone to serve you. Mu Fangli also arranged it, but Li Chuyi didn't want it.
The reason is that he is worried.
After a conversation with Mu Fangli, he basically ruled out the suspicion of old man Mu poisoning his own children, but other people in the Mu family were not included.
From Mu Fangli's shocked and angry attitude at the end, he could see that the water in the Mu family was not as clear as it seemed, and it was even more turbid than what Mu Xueqing told him.
Mu Xueling's death must not be as simple as a difficult birth. He believed Mu Fangli's words about "cultivating Yin and Yang pupils", but it was obvious that old man Mu was also deceived and never saw the real purpose of Yuwen Tailuo from beginning to end.
At this point, Li Chuyi didn't blame him.
Yuwen Tailuo's ambition was too big, far beyond Mu Fangli's imagination. Even when he first knew about it, he was burnt inside and tender outside as if struck by thunder. No matter how powerful Mu Fangli is, he is not a Taoist priest. He probably dare not even think about such a heaven-defying thing as taking away someone's fate.
At the same time, he also recorded Mu Fangli's words in his heart. Yuwen Tailuo, the five elders of Dayan, could not have done such a big game alone. There must be other masters to help him.
In the human world today, there are only one person and one family who can have such ability.
The one person is naturally the Taoist priest, but on the one hand, the Taoist priest is busy looking for his mistress and has no time to do so. On the other hand, he is not in a complete state of mind and his Taoism has declined greatly. He usually relies on "Tianyan Life Art" to bully the Mu family and the five elders. It's okay, but he has no ability to take away someone's fate.
Besides, the arrogant Taoist priests don't like Dayan at all. Let alone help, they don't even bother to talk to them. So the Taoist priest is impossible, and that only the family is left.
And this family is naturally the uncrowned emperor who is on par with the Yuwen royal family - the Mu family.
This possibility is not impossible. Mu Xueqing had such doubts when she ran away from home, but Mu Fangli was stubborn and sad. At that time, Mu Xueqing was not like now. She had not yet gotten rid of the shadow of perverse rebellion. Mu Fangli naturally thought she was talking nonsense. He scolded her and made her leave the Mu family. She never came back.
But now it is different. Li Chuyi repeated the words of Tianyi Daozun. Mu Fangli could not ignore it. In addition, another main reason for Mu Xueqing's departure was that Yuwen Tailuo proposed marriage again, and the target was Mu Xueqing, his wife's sister. Mu Fangli did not think much about it at the time, thinking that he was just unwilling to fail in Yin Yang Tong's plan and wanted to try it again, but now it seems that this matter is extremely scary.
When Mu Xueqing ran away from home, he had mixed feelings. He was angry at his second daughter's stubbornness and unfilial behavior, and worried about her safety when she was alone. At the same time, he was also very glad that Mu Xueqing helped him, so that he didn't have to think about how to refuse Yuwen Tailuo.
But now, he was only grateful.
Fortunately, Mu Xueqing left.
If she really stayed, he didn't dare to say whether he would be tempted by Yin Yang Tong's plan and decide to try again.
For ordinary people, this is nothing to think about, but for these old guys who can't get into the immortal gate, and for all the ascenders like them in Dayan, the temptation to open up a immortal road is too great.
Fortunately, Mu Xueqing left and didn't give him the opportunity to make the same mistake again.
Mu Fangli was angry, and Li Chuyi could see it.
The old man was afraid that he would hide his anger and murderous intent, but how could he escape Li Chuyi's eyes.
Whether the Mu family would be in chaos because of this, or whether they would break with the Yuwen family because of this, Li Chuyi didn't care. On the contrary, he was looking forward to this result.
The people and the country were peaceful and prosperous, in his heart, they were not as important as his mother.
No matter what Dayan became, even if all the people died, he would not care, because they owed him and his mother, this was a debt, a retribution.
In fact, the atmosphere of the Mu family has been suppressed unconsciously in recent days. Even the ignorant children saw that the adults' faces were not right, and the laughter and joy of the past had been replaced by cautiousness.
The lower-level Mu family children did not know what had happened. Those who had channels found out some news and their eyes widened.
The former head of the Mu family, Mu Fangli, came out of seclusion. He was known as a closed-door retreat. Not only did he come out, but he also wanted to drive the current head of the family, Mu Fangxi, to step down and take over the power of the Mu family again!
Not only that, the old head of the family is said to recognize his relatives!
It is said that the long-lost grandson has returned, and the old patriarch who reunited with his grandson has started to think. His power is fake, and helping this grandson to sit on the position of the patriarch is real!
The people were stunned by the various news. They didn't know which ones were true and which ones were false, but they could feel that the sky of the Mu family was about to change.
As for the grandson, some people said it was a fabrication, while some people said they saw it with their own eyes, but no matter how they explained it, most people still didn't believe it.
Everyone in the Mu family knew that the old patriarch had a grandson, but he died hundreds of years ago. The eldest daughter of the old patriarch, Mu Xueling, the most outstanding saint of the Mu family since the ancestor Lianxing, was jealous of the gods when she gave birth. She died and both mother and child died. This was confirmed by the palace and the elders of the Mu family. At that time, I don't know how many children who were on good terms with him fainted from crying.
But now, how come another grandson has appeared?
Didn't he die?
The old patriarch is not confused, is he? He believes a bold and daring wild child who comes to pretend to be him?
Besides, the Mu family rules say that the offspring of those who marry out are not counted in the Mu family tree and are not considered members of the Mu family. Even if the child is real, he is not a member of the Mu family. The old patriarch wants to recognize him, which violates the family rules!
Besides, if it is real, the father of the child is the current emperor Yanlinghuang. If he wants to recognize him, it should be Yanlinghuang who recognizes him first, and then the old patriarch will recognize him after the child is included in the family tree of the Yuwen royal family. But now the old patriarch is rushing to recognize his relatives, which is not only a violation of the family rules, but also a fight with Yanlinghuang!
It is true that the Mu family is on an equal footing with the Yuwen royal family, but they still have to be decent on the surface and maintain the dignity of the royal family. There is no news in the palace yet, and the old patriarch is eager to jump out first, which is equivalent to Yanlinghuang directly challenging him. Is it appropriate?
Some people say it is appropriate, and some people say it is not appropriate. Amidst the various opinions, little did they know that such a debate was also taking place in the study of Mu Fangxi, the current head of the Mu family.
"Brother, calm down first. We should think twice about this matter!" Mu Fangxi advised earnestly.
He felt bad when he received the news that Mu Fangli had come out of confinement. Sure enough, his good elder brother gave him a heavy blow.
"Think twice, think twice, think twice! You asked me to think twice, but I lost my precious daughter! Now you want me to think twice, second brother, do you want to make my good grandson who I finally found lose again?!"
Mu Fangli smashed the coffee table with a slap, and his saliva almost flew onto Mu Fangxi's face.
Mu Fangxi felt bitter in his mouth. He hadn't seen his elder brother's domineering appearance for a long time. When he saw him today, he was still as headache-inducing as ever.
