Chapter 718: Retreat to advance (third update)

"This is something!" After hearing Mu Long's words, the Mu Family's ancestor's face suddenly became gloomy. The Mu Family's ancestor knew the little bit of trouble between Mu Zelun and Wu Song. He had protected Mu Zelun more than once before, and Mu Zelun also clearly told him that he had been confused before and that such a thing would never happen in the future. The Mu Family's ancestor only punished Mu Zelun symbolically, and did not make things too difficult for him. But now the Mu Family's ancestor suddenly felt that he had made a very stupid mistake before.

He looked at Mu Zelun with an extremely cold expression and asked, "Zelun, you have not returned Wu Song's Tailing City yet? What's going on? Do you no longer listen to the words of your family and the old man, the words of me? Or are you just perfunctory to me before?"

"Old ancestor, I'm wronged." Mu Zelun saw that his ancestor asked, he knew that he could no longer cover up the matter. The guy quickly stood up, glared at Mu Long with a cold look, and looked at the ancestor of the Mu family with a bitter look and said, "Old ancestor, I'm really wronged about this matter. How dare I disobey the instructions you gave? Since Wu Song came back, I knew that this Tailing City should be given out, so I have been catching the time to clean it up so that Wu Song could enter Tailing City as soon as possible. But you also know that a city as big as Tailing City can be cleaned up in such a short time. I have tried my best to seize the time and should be able to clean it up recently, so I really don't know what the head of the family said before."

"What do I mean is actually Eleventh Elder, you know the most." Mu Long smiled and looked at Mu Zelun with a cold expression and curled his lips, "Eleven Eleventh Eleventh, if I remember correctly, it seemed that it only took three days to enter Tailing City, right? Why did it take several months to come out? You said you wanted to clean Tailing City, and I don't know where you started.

When the ancestor distributed Tailing City to you, it was already quite clear. He asked you to help Wu Song manage Tailing City on his behalf. What does it mean to be difficult to manage on his behalf? Don’t you know if you don’t know? It doesn’t matter if you don’t know. I can tell you that this city still belongs to Wu Song. You are just a housekeeper. Now that the master is back, the housekeeper has to plunder all the things in the house and then let the master enter the door. What is the reason?

OK! Even if you take a step back, it is understandable that you just hope to withdraw some of the equipment and funds you have placed in Tailing City this year. But Elder Eleven, what you are going to take away in the past few months is not just your own things, right?

You have provided taxes in Tailing City to a large extent, making the merchants who settled in Tailing City miserable. Many people have evacuated Tailing City. This method of scraping the ground is too obvious. And even if you scrape the ground, it doesn’t matter. You have swept away the city defense facilities that Wu Song had previously placed in Tailing City together. What does this mean?

When you were asked to manage on your behalf, it was a wealthy vital city, but when you left, there was only an empty shell. Elder Eleven, your management level is not average, and you are still reluctant to leave. It seems that you will never let go until the last drop of oil in Tailing City is blown up. Is this what you call obeying the will of the ancestors?"

Mu Long glared at the face of redness and could not speak at all, mu Zelun snorted coldly, then attacked the ancestor of the Mu family, and then glanced at the other elders around him with his eyes and said loudly, "Old ancestor, all the elders present, I, Mu Long, feel that I am worthy of our Mu family. Since I learned the value of Wu Song, I have been trying my best to win over it. The new generation of Mu family has not had many super-strong spiritual masters. I think everyone knows this and knows how much contribution Wu Song, an outsider, has made to our Mu family.

If it weren't for Wu Song, would our Mu family develop so rapidly? I think everyone knows it. As the head of the family, I, Mu Long, naturally, would do my best to win over the family. But please think about it from another perspective. If it was you who won the second place for the Mu family in the 33 clan pilgrimage ceremony, you would bring so many resources for the Mu family to risk their lives in the Void Divine Martial Arts Mausoleum, and you would follow the orders of the Blood Feather Empire without hesitation and go to the time and space insect cave to complete the task alone!

But after you have done so much, your city has been occupied by others, and you have even done something even more excessive than this. If you were to think so, would you not have any complaints?”

Mu Long looked around the elders of the family around him, then sneered, "Everyone knows that Wu Song is now very popular in our Blood Feather Empire, and he is quite young. If there is no big problem, he can even participate in the 33 clan pilgrimage ceremony again. There are many big families who have given him olive branches. If you were Wu Song, would you hang yourself on the tree of our Mu family at the risk of being assassinated? This is too ridiculous?!

And I don’t think our Mu family has any advantages compared to other big families. Tailing City is just a city, and it is not worth mentioning compared to the actual gains Wu Song brought to the Mu family. I think if Wu Song really turned to other families, no matter which family it is, it would not be stingy with a city. What’s more, the current practice of our Mu family is basically no different from that of Tailing City that we didn’t give to him at all.

If you are interested, you can go to Tailing City now. If you think that only a few broken city walls can be called a city, then I, Mu Long, have nothing to say. As for winning over Wu Song, I really don’t know what to do. This time, for Wu Song, the royal family dispatched two master-level figures, and I heard that Emperor Song Ruizhen had promised the Thirteenth Princess Song Lingshan to Wu Song. Compared to these, our Mu family took back the city that Wu Song deserved. Mu Long was incompetent! I really don’t know how to use the method to retain Wu Song, and I would like to ask our ancestors to punish him!"

Mu Long is a very beautiful move, and he is smart. He is very clear. He is actually not the biggest obstacle between Wu Song and the Mu family. He is not the Eleventh Elder Mu Zelun, but the ancestor of the Mu family who stood silently behind Mu Zelun!
