As they approached Mucheng, a stream of light flew out and turned into an old man with white hair and beard.
"Third Elder."
Mu Qingling bowed slightly.
The children of the Mu family behind him also bowed and saluted.
"This is..."
The third elder nodded slightly, his gaze fell on Feng Hao, and a strange light flickered in his eyes.
When Mu Qingling returned to the Mu family's harbor, the top management of the Mu family received the news. After a short discussion, the Mu family decided to send an elder to receive her.
"The peak of the fourth level origin realm."
Feng Hao glanced at him and saw through the latter's strength.
It's no wonder that Mu Qingling didn't bow to the old man when she saw him. It seemed that the former had a strong position in the Mu family.
"This is a senior who has returned from the Sea of White Flames. At my invitation, he is temporarily staying at our Mu family."
Seeing that Feng Hao had no intention of replying, Mu Qingling quickly explained.
"Qing Ling, although our Mu family is not considered a top power, we still have a bit of a reputation in the Hongling Continent."
The third elder looked Feng Hao up and down. With his eyes, he could not tell the depth of Feng Hao. However, he only thought that the latter had borrowed some secret method to hide his aura.
This undoubtedly made the third elder more suspicious.
When Mu Qingling heard this, her heart thumped, and she felt uneasy.
However, the other Mu family disciples had a hint of joking in their eyes, and they could naturally hear the meaning in the third elder's voice.
Along the way, they had long suspected Feng Hao's purpose. Many people even felt that Feng Hao wanted to curry favor with their Mu family, so he pretended to be mysterious.
"Qing Ling, with your strength, you can now be considered a senior member of our Mu family. How can you treat a person of unknown origin like this?"
The third elder said earnestly, intending to remind Mu Qingling that she was the leader among her peers in the Mu family. When she went out, she represented the face of the Mu family.
It is certainly a good thing to act cautiously, but to treat a person of unknown origin with such a low profile obviously loses the dignity of their Mu family.
Hearing this, Feng Hao couldn't help but frown slightly. It seemed that the Mu family didn't seem to welcome him.
"Third Elder, since you think Qingling has the right to speak, there is no need to say more."
Mu Qingling glanced at Feng Hao secretly from the corner of her eye, then took a deep breath and said with a cold expression.
"you……"
Upon hearing this, the third elder of the Mu family's face darkened.
"Senior, please follow Qing Ling."
Mu Qingling did not explain, but said respectfully to Feng Hao.
Immediately, she didn't care what the third elder and the other Mu family members thought, and walked straight towards the gate of Mu City.
Feng Hao hesitated a little, but finally followed Mu Qingling towards Mucheng.
He didn't like to disturb others, especially the third elder of the Mu family and others, who were repulsive to him. However, Mu Qingling's attitude made him feel good.
Although this may be because Mu Qingling saw his extraordinary qualities and did it deliberately, he didn't think Mu Qingling could do anything to him. If he could get some useful information from the latter, he would do it.
I don't mind giving the latter a good fortune before leaving.
"Third Elder, this..."
As Feng Hao and the two entered Mucheng, several Mu family disciples looked at the third elder with a gloomy expression.
"snort!"
The third elder snorted coldly and walked away without explaining to the Mu family disciples.
…
Deep in the Mu Mansion, there is a majestic meeting hall.
At this time, seven figures gathered in the hall, and they all had vast aura fluctuations on their bodies. These figures were at least the fourth-level origin realm experts, and they were also the core senior leaders of the Mu family!
The person sitting at the top is a middle-aged man with a majestic face, and the aura on his body has reached the peak of the fifth-level origin realm!
Such strong men, even among the Zhenbei Army decades ago, can be regarded as leader-level existences!
This person is the patriarch of the Mu family, and now the head of the Mu family... Mu Lingheng!
At this time, the atmosphere in the hall seemed a little depressed, and the faces of several elders looked a little unhappy.
"Master, this girl Mu Qingling is becoming more and more ignorant now. Although she is very talented, if this continues, our Mu family will lose all face!"
"Yes, when faced with the marriage of the young master of the Chen family, she dismissed it and even insulted her, which made the Chen family look at us covetously. In the blink of an eye, she found an unknown guy from where and...
Such warm treatment is simply a deliberate attempt to humiliate the Chen family!"
"Master, if the Chen family knows about this, they will definitely think that our Mu family is deliberately provoking them..."
"Master, why don't we come forward and throw that guy out of Mucheng? Behind the Chen family is... someone we can't afford to offend."
Several elders looked indignant, obviously dissatisfied with Mu Qingling's behavior for a long time.
The Chen family is one of the top forces in the entire southwestern region of Hongling Continent. It is said that even one of the three great monarchs owes the Chen family a favor!
Such forces are definitely not something that the Mu family can afford to offend.
Although Mu Qingling has shown dazzling talents, she is only in the fourth-level realm after all. Although there is only one step away between the fourth-level realm and the fifth-level realm, there are countless monsters who have been trapped in the fourth-level realm throughout their lives.
Among the products, there is no way to break through.
All Chen family elders like them are like this.
In their opinion, it would be great if Mu Qingling could step into the fifth-grade realm. However, even if she could step into the fifth-grade realm, it would not be as great as the benefits gained from marrying with the Chen family.
After all, if they can accompany the Chen family, the Mu family can also be like a duck in water in the southwest region, or even go one step further!
"Enough!"
Facing the endless chatter of the elders, Mu Lingheng's face became more and more gloomy, and finally he couldn't help but let out a deep drink.
Seeing Mu Lingheng's appearance, several Chen family elders reluctantly closed their mouths, but their faces were still filled with displeasure.
"Qing Ling has had a unique eye since she was a child. She rejected the young master of the Chen family because of his bad conduct. Don't you know whether this is true or not?"
Mu Lingheng glanced at the elders in the hall and shouted.
"Master, please don't say nonsense. If Young Master Chen hears it..."
At this time, a strange color flashed in the eyes of an elder, and he reminded in a low voice.
"snort!"
Mu Lingheng gave him a cold look, and the latter immediately fell silent.
"I believe in Qing Ling's vision. No matter what the reason is, what she does is her business. If you have such leisure, you might as well go into seclusion and attack the fifth level."
Mu Lingheng snorted coldly, his stance extremely firm.
However, compared to him, the expressions of several Mu family elders were somewhat unnatural.?
