"Du Shaofu..."
Mu Mingqing's eyes flickered slightly when he heard this. He raised his head slightly and said, "I heard that there's a write-in student in Tianwu Academy who defeated the top ten freshmen in his batch, killed two seniors, crippled three seniors, resisted arrest, and stole Tianwu Academy's Green Bamboo Spirit Fruit. Recently, he set a record in the Tianwu Talisman stage and even ranked second in the combat realm. I heard that the young man's name is Du Shaofu."
"I think it must be him," Mu Zhenghao said as he looked at his father.
Mu Mingqing smiled faintly as he looked at Mu Zhenghao and said, "I didn't expect Tianwu Academy to look for us. The Dark Nether Sect is also involved in this matter. Tianwu Academy doesn't have much interaction with us. Since Ghost Claw placed the Mysterious Spirit Heavenly Vine in our Mu Clan Fort, I'm sure you know what will happen to the Mu Clan's Trading Company and Mu Clan Fort in the Dark Forest in the future if anything happens.
"I understand." Mu Zhenghao nodded.
"You understand, but you still came to me."
Mu Mingqing asked Mu Zhenghao, "He saved you once, which means that you've helped him. Even if you're his friend, you've done what you should do as a friend. However, as the Young Fort Master of the Mu Clan Fort, you also have to do what you should do. Do you think we can help? "
Mu Zhenghao pondered for a while before looking at his father and saying seriously, "From my point of view, I still think that if I can help, I'll definitely help."
Mu Mingqing said, "The Dark City has been peaceful for many years, but there are many undercurrents. Now that an external force has suddenly joined, the situation will change. Do you understand the change?"
"I understand. Father, haven't you been worried all this time?"
Mu Zhenghao hesitated for a moment, and then he took a deep breath and said, "Ghost Claw intentionally put the Profound Spirit Heavenspan Vine up for auction in my Mu Clan Trading Company. Obviously, he intentionally attracted the people from Sky Martial Academy. If those mysterious people are really from the Dark Nether Sect, then it's very likely that they were attracted by Ghost Claw. The Mysterious Spirit Heavenly Vine was placed in the Mu Clan's trading house, and even the Mu Clan's trading house was part of the scheme. Perhaps this time, the Dark City, which has been peaceful for a long time, will start to become turbulent because of the Mysterious Spirit Heavenly Vine. My Mu Clan Fort will bear the brunt of it. "
"I wouldn't dare to plot against you. Ghost Claw just wants to make use of the Mu Clan Fort."
Mu Mingqing looked at Mu Zhenghao and said, "You are my son and also the Young Master of the Mu Clan Fort. All the uncles in the Mu Clan Fort have always admired you, so I will ask you again about this matter."
"As the Young Fort Master of the Mu Clan Fort, this matter is of great importance. I can't make the decision. Moreover, I can't represent the Mu Clan Fort. The only one who can represent the Mu Clan Fort is you, Father."
Mu Zhenghao said solemnly, "However, personally, I hope that Father can help him. The fact that he came to me proves that he trusts me. In the Dark Forest, he saved me but did not ask for anything in return. I also believe in his character. With his talent, he is destined to achieve great things in the future. If I help him this time, I will be his friend in the future. If I and the Mu Clan Fort are in trouble in the future, I will ask him ten times and he will definitely not reject me. I'm willing to bet on this. "
Mu Mingqing did not speak. He only looked at Mu Zhenghao. After a long time, he looked at the other middle-aged men and a few burly young men in the study and said, "Do any of you have anything to say?"
The few of them looked normal as if they had nothing to say.
"Big Brother, I believe in Zhenghao and you."
Only a burly man in his forties walked out. He was dressed in a short robe and had a strong build. He looked at Mu Mingqing and Mu Zhenghao and said, "However, I feel that there is no reason for us to place our bet on Tianwu Academy. Tianwu Academy is no longer what it used to be. This time, they were attacked without any scruples and were unable to retaliate. Moreover, we are placing our bet on a young man. Even if he is extraordinary, he is still just a brat who is still wet behind the ears."
Mu Zhenghao looked at the burly man and asked, "Fifth Uncle, what do you mean?"
The burly man smiled at Mu Zhenghao and said with a grin, "It's simple. Isn't that brat extraordinary? Doesn't he want to see Big Brother? Outside the courtyard is the drill ground where Big Brother usually cultivates. I will wait for him there. If he can defeat me, I will let him in. As for whether Big Brother agrees to help him in the end, I don't care. However, if he can't even defeat me, he doesn't need to see Big Brother."
"This …" Mu Zhenghao's face turned serious. He knew how powerful his Fifth Uncle was.
"Zhenghao, let's do it this way. If he wants to see me, it's not too much to ask for your Fifth Uncle's permission first. Once your Fifth Uncle agrees, all the uncles in the Mu Family Fort will agree." Mu Mingqing nodded at Mu Zhenghao.
In a small hall in the secluded courtyard, Du Shaofu, Gu Xinyan, and Du Xiaoyao were seated and waiting for Mu Zhenghao.
"I'm so bored. Why don't you give me some spiritual herbs to eat?"
Suddenly, Du Xiaoyao turned around and looked at Du Shaofu with her pale golden eyes. She looked very pitiful.
Du Shaofu knew that behind Du Xiaoyao's pitiful look, there was an absolute cruelty. However, he still took out a bunch of spiritual herbs from his Qiankun Bag and handed them to Du Xiaoyao. There were quite a lot of them.
Du Xiaoyao did not say that Du Shaofu was stingy this time. She took the spiritual herbs and stuffed them into her mouth one by one. She ate the spiritual herbs that were glowing, fragrant, and fluctuating with energy as if they were snacks. She slowly chewed them raw.
Gu Xinyan watched from the side. Under the red veil, her beautiful eyes were filled with shock.
Du Shaofu was neither fast nor slow. His expression was indifferent. Under the red veil, Gu Xinyan seemed to be even more nervous than Du Shaofu.
In the end, Gu Xinyan could not help but look at Du Shaofu. She asked, "Aren't you anxious? If the Fort Master of the Mu Family Fort does not want to see you, we don't seem to have any other choice."
"Mu Zhenghao is back."
Du Shaofu straightened his body. His expression did not change much. Only he knew that it would be strange if he was not nervous. However, in front of a woman, it was better to pretend to be calm.
As soon as Du Shaofu finished speaking, Mu Zhenghao appeared in the small hall. He looked at Du Shaofu and spread his hands. He did not beat around the bush and said helplessly, "I have good news and bad news. The good news is that my father is willing to see you. However, there is also bad news. My Fifth Uncle is guarding outside my father's door. If you want to go in, you have to defeat my Fifth Uncle. "
Du Shaofu and Gu Xinyan looked at each other. Then, Du Shaofu stood up and looked at Mu Zhenghao. He asked, "Young Fort Master, what is your Fifth Uncle's cultivation level?"
"Just call me by my name. If you think highly of me, I should be a few years older than you. You can call me brother." Mu Zhenghao patted his chest and said.
"Brother Zhenghao." Du Shaofu nodded.
"Okay, then I'll take advantage of you."
Mu Zhenghao smiled, but then his expression turned serious. He looked at Du Shaofu and said, "My Fifth Uncle's cultivation level is at the early stage of the Martial Lord Realm. However, he has reached the late stage of the Martial Lord Realm and is close to the peak. He has not found an opportunity to break through. It seems that he is the weakest among my father's sworn brothers."
"You can only see Fort Master Mu if you defeat him. Let me do it."
Gu Xinyan stood up and covered her face with a red cloak. However, under the red cloak, her graceful curves could not be hidden. They were exquisite and alluring.
Gu Xinyan did not know Du Shaofu's true strength. However, she was worried that Du Shaofu would be defeated by a Martial Lord who had just reached the peak of the Martial Lord Realm.
After all, as far as she knew, Du Shaofu had not even set foot in the Spiritual Pulse Realm.
The Mu Clan Fort's intentions were clear. They were testing and rejecting him. In fact, there was more of a rejection than a test.
He could only see the Fort Master if he defeated a Martial Lord. If he could not defeat the Fort Master, he could only leave. At that time, there would be nothing to say.
Of course, Gu Xinyan knew that the Mu Clan Fort could not be blamed for this. From the perspective of the Mu Clan Fort, they were already being very polite.
Hearing Gu Xinyan's words, Mu Zhenghao did not know the identity of the woman in the cloak. However, from her indifferent tone, it was not difficult to tell that the woman in red did not seem to take a Martial Lord who had just reached the peak of the Martial Lord Realm seriously.
Mu Zhenghao was suspicious, but he did not show it. He just shook his head and smiled bitterly. "I'm afraid that won't do. I think Fifth Uncle wants to spar with Brother Shaofu."
"Let me do it."
Du Shaofu looked sideways at Gu Xinyan and said. He then looked at Mu Zhenghao and a smile appeared on his resolute face. "Brother Zhenghao, please lead the way. I also want to experience the unique skills of the Mu Clan Fort."
"Brother Shaofu, you should be careful. My Fifth Uncle's fist is more powerful. Among my father's sworn brothers, only my Fifth Uncle cultivates the power of the physical body. The strength of his body is comparable to a Spiritual Weapon." Mu Zhenghao reminded Du Shaofu and then led the way. He led Du Shaofu and Gu Xinyan out of the small hall.
In the picturesque courtyard, there was a small square that was not too big.
The small square was not small. Its diameter was dozens of feet wide. The square was covered with thick, strange rocks. There were various kinds of weapons placed around it. Sabers, spears, swords, halberds, spears, staffs, and chains.
Du Shaofu followed Mu Zhenghao through several corridors before arriving at the small square.
Looking around, there were no less than two to three hundred people around the small square. They were all quite young and there were even quite a few youths among them. Standing in front of them were a few burly men and old men.
"A few Martial Lords!"
When Du Shaofu's gaze landed on the few old men and the burly man, his eyes immediately moved. There were at least three Martial Marquis experts among them.
"They are indeed one of the four major forces in the Dark Forest." Du Shaofu thought to himself. To be able to casually bring out a few Martial Lords, this kind of strength was not ordinary.
