Three days later, the hunting in the secret plane ended. The Mu Family, with the help of Mu Li, undoubtedly won the first place and obtained the preferential tax treatment of Yijiang City. This was undoubtedly a timely gift for the Mu Family, whose business had not been doing well in the past few years.
What made the Mu Family even happier was that their biggest competitor, the Wu Family, had suffered a double loss in the secret plane. Their original plan to scheme against the Mu Family was casually killed by the sudden appearance of Nakagawa and the other two, causing the entire secret plane to collapse instantly. Whether or not they could stabilize their position in the future was a problem, not to mention competing with the Mu Family.
Mu Zheng, who had returned to the family, was particularly happy and heavily rewarded Mu Li. However, something that happened later cast a shadow over the entire family.
Mu Zheng's sister, Mu Huang, and her husband, Meng Haoying, had disappeared!
Moreover, according to the situation when they entered and left the Mu Residence, they disappeared after returning to the Mu Residence. This made the whole matter somewhat confusing.
Early in the morning, Mu Zheng summoned everyone in the Mu Residence to the main hall, including Hayashikawa.
"When did you discover that Mu Huang was missing?" Mu Zheng asked with a solemn expression.
"Reporting to the Patriarch, three days ago in the morning, I entered Miss Mu Huang's room and prepared her favorite breakfast as usual. However, I found that there was no one inside. I thought that they might have gone out for some matters, so I didn't pay much attention to it. However, after a night, I found that they still hadn't returned. I asked the others and didn't see them leave the Mu Residence. That's when I discovered the problem!" An old woman said.
Mu Zheng was silent. His eyes constantly swept back and forth across everyone as he listened to their narration.
Hayashikawa sat on a small chair at the side and played with his fingers idly. This matter had nothing to do with him. The reason why Mu Zheng called him over was that Mu Huang's disappearance had once again made Mu Zheng doubt the Mu Residence's defensive strength. Therefore, in order to ensure Hayashikawa's safety, the only thing he could do was to keep his son in his sight. Only then could he be slightly relieved.
Lin Chuan listened to the narration of these guards. He didn't look guilty at all because he knew that no matter how this matter was discussed, it wouldn't involve him.
However, the Mu family's style of doing things was indeed similar to that of the mortal world. After all, although they were a cultivation family, they had a lot to do with the mortal world. In many aspects, they were very different from a pure cultivation family like the Lin family. For example, Mu Huang's habit of eating breakfast.
Cultivators who had reached the Golden Core Stage had long since become inedible. If they were in the Lin Family, cultivators of this level would basically not touch mortal food because it would cause impurities in their bodies. However, for a mortal cultivation family like the Mu Family, cultivation was not an eternal pursuit. It was more for enjoyment.
"Forget it. You guys take your time talking. I'll ponder over the scripture!" Hayashikawa thought to himself. He slowly calmed his mind and began to study the Maha Bible in the depths of his soul.
Hayashikawa still hadn't figured out why this scripture had appeared in his mind. As one of the three primary scriptures in the Cultivation World, the Maha Bible was almost extinct in the entire Cultivation World. Not many people had even heard of it. Even if Hayashikawa had re-cultivated the scripture, he still couldn't fully understand it. The profoundness of the scripture could only be guessed when one's cultivation reached a high level.
However, every time Hayashikawa studied the Maha Bible, there would be some small surprises, which made him very happy.
During his time in the Mu Family, Mu Zheng always paid attention to Hayashikawa's safety. He also hired a cultivator of the Nascent Soul Stage to protect him. Therefore, Hayashikawa was always cautious when it came to cultivation. He didn't dare to absorb too much Spiritual Qi, so as not to expose his identity. In such an environment, Hayashikawa developed the habit of secretly studying the Maha Bible.
However, this habit made Hayashikawa look like he was in a daze most of the time. If it weren't for Hayashikawa's success in cultivation at such a young age, Mu Zheng would have thought that he had given birth to a stupid son. He didn't cry or make any noise all day, and was always in a daze. Sometimes, he didn't make any noise for an entire day, which scared everyone and made them panic and think that he was dead. Because of this, Hayashikawa had a nickname in the Mu Family — Little Dumbo!
"… Yu Yi … Yu Yi …" As Hayashikawa was studying the Maha Bible, Mu Zheng's call suddenly interrupted Hayashikawa's thoughts. At the same time, Mu Li, who was sitting next to Hayashikawa, pulled Hayashikawa aside, indicating that Mu Zheng was asking questions.
"Ah … Oh … Father, what's the matter?" Hayashikawa came back to his senses and asked with some astonishment.
"Elder Liu said that in the second half of the night, he faintly felt a terrifying aura. He chased it for a while, but he didn't find anything. Were you okay that night?" Mu Zheng asked with some concern.
Elder Liu was the guest elder that Mu Zheng specially invited from outside. He was an Early-stage Nascent Soul Realm individual cultivator.
"I didn't find anything unusual!" Hayashikawa said softly with a look of confusion on his face.
In fact, among all the people present, Hayashikawa knew what happened the best. The terrifying aura was not released by someone else. It was released by White Zue under the command of Hayashikawa. This was to let Mu Zheng feel that the Mu Family was still not safe. The purpose of this was to prepare for the next step.
Mu Zheng listened to Hayashikawa's words and nodded with a frown. He didn't say anything more. After all, he was only a three-year-old child. It was fine as long as he was fine.
However, at this moment, a faint gaze looked over. Hayashikawa, with his keen perception, immediately noticed and looked back. He immediately saw a figure sitting not far from Mu Zheng – Xu Chengan!
"Why is the elder of the Dayin Tower here?" Hayashikawa's heart skipped a beat. He had been sleepwalking all this time and didn't notice that there was such a guest in the house.
Xu Chengan was also surprised by Hayashikawa's sudden piercing gaze. That gaze made him feel as if he was being watched by an expert. However, when he looked again, Hayashikawa's gaze was no longer as sharp as before. All that was left was innocence!
"Did I see wrongly?" Xu Chengan said, "I must have seen wrongly. How could a child have such a terrifying gaze? However, Mu Huang's disappearance is indeed strange. If my initial suspicions were correct, then she was the one who wanted to kill Yui Kimi. Now that she is missing, the most suspicious person is Yui Kimi. However, a three-year-old child can't have such strength to do this. Could it be that Mu Li also noticed something?"
