Chapter 870 870 Mu Hanyan's Various "Bad Deeds"

The spacious conference hall was solemn and solemn, and an old man with white hair and beard sat side by side with Mu Beichen.

The old man was dressed in a coarse cloth robe. Although his head was full of white hair, his complexion was rosy and bright, and he appeared to be full of vitality.

But at this time, the old man was full of anger. Looking closely, his hand holding the teacup was shaking slightly, obviously trying his best to suppress the anger in his heart.

"Elder Taishang, don't worry, the token is still in the mansion and should be found soon." The third elder was soaked in cold sweat and said tremblingly.

"I can find it this time, what about the next time?" Elder Taishang said coldly.

If it weren't for the fact that Mu Chengxuan was his only disciple, and the third elder was Mu Chengxuan's grandfather, he would have kicked the third elder out long ago.

"No... there will be no next time." The third elder stammered.

"In vain, I have high hopes for you. This is the first time that the Supreme Elder Order has been handed over to you, and it has made such a big mess. How can I rest assured that I will hand the token to your hands." Taishang The elder hated that iron could not become steel.

This Supreme Elder Order is an ancestral thing of the Mu family. Although the power represented by the token is not comparable to that of the Patriarch Order, it is of great significance, and its symbolic status is a bit more transcendent than that of the Patriarch Order.

The elders of all dynasties have regarded this token as life, and will never leave easily. If one day, the elders will hand the token to others, it will undoubtedly prove that the elders are interested in him, which also means that there are The idea of ​​passing.

For the clan family members, this is a great honor. As long as they receive the order of the Supreme Elder, their status in the clan will rise one step at a time. Even if they cannot take over the position of the Supreme Elder in the future, they still have great hope of becoming the head of the family.

However, as a Supreme Elder, this token cannot be handed over to others casually. After all, it is a matter of great importance. If it is not recognized by most of the elders, even the Supreme Elder cannot do it alone.

The reason why Taishang elders took a fancy to the third elder was actually for Mu Chengxuan. He lived nearly 200 years old before he accepted the only disciple, and he was very fond of him.

Since he has chosen Mu Chengxuan, he is of course quite satisfied with his aptitude and temperament, and he has high expectations for him, and he wants to support him as the head of the family. For him, this is also a gratifying and proud thing.

However, the elder Taishang did not think that he had too much selfishness. In his opinion, his disciples were so excellent, and only by handing the family into his hands, could he hope to revitalize the family business and live up to the ancestors of all dynasties.

But since Mu Hanyan came back, Elder Taishang felt something was wrong. Although he has been in seclusion for many years, he is not unaware of what is happening outside. Through Mu Chengxuan's mouth, he also has some understanding of Mu Hanyan. Clearly.

In front of the master, Mu Chengxuan didn't dare to add oil and jealousy. He would answer whatever the elders asked, but when he answered, it was inevitable that he would be less serious. Therefore, the names of Mu Dawanjin, Mu Tieyi, and Mu Prodigal were just one word. It fell into the ears of the elders without any leakage.

After listening to Mu Hanyan's various "bad deeds", the elder Taishang had a terrible impression of Mu Hanyan. The Mu family has been inherited for hundreds of thousands of years. If the family business is passed on to such a person one day, it is only a matter of time before the extinct clan will be destroyed. As a supreme elder, how can he be worthy of his ancestors?

When he wanted to come, Mu Beichen recruited Mu Hanyan back to the sect at that time, obviously for the destiny astrolabe, and also to take advantage of the opportunity of the aristocratic family competition to let Mu Hanyan emerge. The position of the future head of the family, didn't it fall into his hands logically?

In order to achieve this goal, Mu Beichen must have exhausted his scheming. Although the third elders also have some shrewd strategies, their status is still inferior to that of the patriarch, and it is difficult for Mu Chengxuan to do justice for Mu Chengxuan.

Only by temporarily handing the Supreme Elder Order to the Third Elder, can his status go further and have the capital to compete with Mu Beichen.

However, the fourth elder, the fifth elder, and many other worshipers were at odds with the third elder, so they would definitely not agree with his decision, and he could not go against the ancestral teachings.

The elder Taishang thought about it, and finally came up with a way. Since next year will be the time for the ranking competition of the major families, and he has been in seclusion all year round, he is afraid of delaying the important affairs of the clan, so he handed the order of the elders to the third elder. , let him temporarily assume the post of Supreme Elder when necessary. To put it bluntly, it is to cheer for the three elders.

The fourth elder, the fifth elder and the others knew exactly what Elder Taishang was planning, but they could not argue.

When he just got the order of the elders, the third elder was overjoyed, and he walked with his head held high, as if the whole person was raised a bit, and the elders in the clan who were swaying in various rooms also began to show the third elder. it is good.

It's a pity that the three elders haven't been happy for a few days, and the token is actually lost!

Thinking of his painstaking efforts, the elder Taishang could hardly wait to slap this unsatisfactory third elder to death.

"Fengchen is incompetent, please punish the elders." The third elder looked frightened.

I hate it so much that I want to vomit blood: who is so daring to even steal the decree of the Supreme Elder, there are so many valuable things in the Mu family, you don't steal anything, but you can't sell one of them Is there something wrong with your brain? This stupid thief, if I catch him, he must be smashed to pieces to vent my hatred!

Thinking of this, the third elder suddenly moved in his heart and quietly looked towards Mu Beichen. The elder Taishang gave the token to him for what purpose, a discerning person would know at a glance, and of course Mu Beichen couldn't understand it.

Could it be that Mu Beichen sent someone to do it?

The third elder did not think that Mu Beichen would do it himself. In his capacity, there was no need to take such a risk. It was only possible to send someone to do it. But the token was kept extremely secret, and the seal of the secret room was only known to a few close relatives. If Mu Beichen sent others to do it, it would be impossible to break his seal without any movement.

The third elder was full of doubts in his heart, but no matter how he thought about it, he felt that something was not right.

Could it be that there is another hidden secret, or other aristocratic families intend to provoke civil strife in the Mu family? Or, was that stupid thief lucky enough to open the seal by accident? The three elders do not understand, do not understand.

Mu Beichen glanced at the two of them indifferently, and was too lazy to say more.

He is not a fool, how can he not see the little trick between the elders Taishang and the third elders, but he is very disapproving.

The head of the house! They really thought that they recruited Han Yan back to the sect to be the head of the family.

If it wasn't because of Zu Xun, even the elders couldn't disclose some things before the time came. He had already made it clear, and why would there be so much trouble.
