Looking at Mu Lingheng who was slowly walking away, the few elders fell into silence.
"Sigh, it's not that easy to become a rank-5 martial artist."
"That's right. Our Mu family only has a rank-5 martial artist …"
"Master, you're too naive. Although Mu Qingling is talented, she won't be able to break through to rank-5 unless we use up all the resources in our family!"
The elders couldn't help but sigh as Mu Lingheng left.
"Grand Elder, are we just going to let Qingling do as she pleases?"
At this time, the Third Elder looked at the old man below and asked. Hearing this, the other elders also looked over.
The Grand Elder was already a rank-4 martial artist. However, after so many years, he still couldn't break through the shackles and become the second rank-5 martial artist.
However, the Grand Elder had been famous for a long time. His authority in the Mu family was second only to the Master. Usually, he was the leader of the group of elders.
"Qingling rejected the Chen family's young master and caused us to offend the Chen family. Now, the Chen family is eyeing us covetously …"
The Grand Elder's face darkened as he faced the gazes of the elders.
Although the Chen family's young master's character wasn't good, the Chen family's foundation was not something the Mu family could afford to offend.
"Grand Elder, we can't just sit here and wait for death!"
"That's right. Qingling brought back an unknown guy. If the Chen family finds out, I'm afraid they'll think that he's her lover!"
"Master loves Qingling very much, but we can't just watch the Mu family be destroyed in his hands!"
As soon as the Grand Elder's words fell, a chorus of agreement sounded. Many elders looked indignant as if they could not wait to expel Feng Hao from Mu City immediately to distance themselves from him.
"Shut up!"
The First Elder's face grew increasingly gloomy when he heard the voices of the elders. He shouted in a deep voice and the clamor immediately died down.
"No matter what, Qingling is a genius of the Mu family. It's understandable for the Master to protect her!"
The Grand Elder glanced at the crowd coldly and said in a deep voice.
If it was only about Feng Hao, the Great Elder would naturally acquiesce. However, he would not allow these guys to slander Mu Qingling!
Hearing this, the elders who were initially filled with righteous indignation immediately lowered their heads. Only then did they realize that they had gone overboard.
"Great Elder, are we going to rely on the Patriarch? Ignore it? "
After a while, the Third Elder asked in a probing manner.
Hearing this, the First Elder could not help but fall silent.
Although the words of these fellows were a little harsh, it had to be said that there was some truth to it. Once this news fell into the ears of the Chen Clan, they would definitely think that the Mu Clan was deliberately provoking them. This was also a good opportunity to put pressure on the Mu Clan.
The Chen family had long been eyeing the Mu family's harbor, a fat piece of meat!
"Third Brother, you, Fourth Brother and Fifth Brother, go and have a look. Ask that guy to leave Mu City. If possible, try not to cause too much of a commotion, in case Qing Ling has a problem with us."
After pondering for a while, the Great Elder gritted his teeth and said.
"Yes!"
Hearing this, a cold light flashed across the Third Elder's eyes as he replied respectfully.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Then, the three of them moved and quickly disappeared.
Clatter!
As soon as the three elders left, footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.
Soon, a beautiful figure appeared in front of the meeting hall.
"Qing Ling, why are you here?"
Seeing this beautiful figure, an unnatural expression flashed across the eyes of a few elders. Only the First Elder hid this expression extremely well. He immediately stood up and smiled amiably as he spoke.
"Great Elder, where is the Patriarch?"
Mu Qing Ling glanced around and asked.
"The Patriarch has just left. Tell me if you have anything to say."
The Great Elder chuckled and said.
"The senior that Qing Ling brought back is unfathomable. I would like to invite the Patriarch to visit him with me."
Mu Qing Ling did not hide anything and went straight to the point.
Hearing this, the expressions on the faces of the few elders changed slightly.
"Qing Ling, you're a high-ranking member of the Mu Clan. Don't you know that the Patriarch represents the Mu Clan? It's fine if an unknown person doesn't come to visit the Patriarch, but he wants the Patriarch to see him in person? "
The Second Elder could not help but snort coldly and said disdainfully.
The remaining elders also nodded tacitly. In their opinion, Mu Qing Ling's request was simply ridiculous!
Although the Patriarch did not want to interfere in Mu Qing Ling's affairs, he would never lower himself to visit a person who was pretending to be mysterious!
"Unknown origin? Second Elder, didn't I tell you that this senior returned from the depths of the Sea of White Flames? Or do you not know what that means? "
Mu Qing Ling frowned slightly and said with some displeasure.
"Haha …"
However, as soon as she finished speaking, there was a burst of undisguised ridicule in the hall.
"Qing Ling, you're still young. In my opinion, you don't know what returning from the Sea of White Flames means!"
The Second Elder laughed and put on the posture of an elder. He said earnestly, "Do you know that even the Monarch doesn't dare to enter the Sea of White Flames? You said that that guy returned from the Sea of White Flames. Could it be that there's an existence stronger than the Monarch in our Hongling Continent? "
The other elders also nodded secretly, obviously agreeing with the Second Elder's opinion.
The depths of the Sea of White Flames was almost a forbidden area!
Even the Monarch didn't dare to set foot in it easily. This guy who had just appeared was actually thought by Mu Qing Ling to have come from there. This was simply a joke.
"You guys …"
Seeing the expressions of the elders, Mu Qing Ling's originally cold face could not help but surge with anger.
In fact, Mu Qing Ling did not know how strong Feng Hao was.
However, when she saw Feng Hao for the first time, even if he did not emit any aura, Mu Qing Ling could clearly feel the dangerous aura coming from the latter's body.
From the looks of it, it was as if the latter could easily crush him with a single thought.
Mu Qing Ling firmly believed in her intuition. It was also because of this intuition that she had saved her life several times!
This was also why when facing Feng Hao, Mu Qing Ling did not have the slightest arrogance of a genius. Instead, she lowered her attitude and took the initiative to invite the latter to Mu City.
"Qing Ling, there's no need to disturb the patriarch for such a small matter. You've worked hard this time. Go back and rest early."
The First Elder also waved his hand and gestured.
"A bunch of stubborn old fools!"
Mu Qing Ling's eyes were cold. In the end, she snorted coldly and left with a flick of her sleeve.
