Legend of Mir 2: Seeking the Truth in Marfa

The person who was most happy about Brook joining the Wenren family was Wenren Muyue. Brook was her good friend, and they got along very well. Moreover, fighting monsters with Brook always brought her a lot of rewards.

"Second sister, this is the artifact skill necklace obtained from the underground palace trial, and the pass token to the underground palace abyss. Here they are!" Wenren Muyue handed both items to Mu Xue and said, "We also got a lot of equipment, including Taurus, Overlord, and Legendary!"

"Muyue, there's no rush for these equipment, let's talk about it later. You did a great job this time! Thank you for your hard work."

"It wasn't hard! When we first entered the novice underground palace, we fell into the trap of Tuoba Li and the three major families. They broke up our team, and Ziwu, Qingguo, Xu Fei, Qin Yu, and Wei Yang died. Later, in the Demon Sealing Parkour map, someone blocked the road and collected tolls. It was the Tuoba family who did it again..." Speaking of what happened in the underground palace, Wenren Muyue rambled excitedly.

Wenren Muxue listened to Mu Yue's story with a smile. In fact, she had already learned a lot of things from Wenren Yu.

"That Tuoba Li chased me and hacked at me, almost killing me. At this critical moment, Brook suddenly appeared, blocking his way like a god, and roared: "You little thief! Don't hurt anyone! I'm here, I can stop you for ten thousand years!"

"Tuoba Li was frightened, so I took the opportunity to run away. But Tuoba Li was very evil and still wanted to kill me. He chased me for nine blocks!" Wenren Muyue is quite talented in storytelling.

"What happened next? How did you manage to kill him?" Wenren Muxue became interested as she listened. Wenren Yu didn't mention this part, and he didn't know anything about the sponsorship of the third floor.

"Later... we led the Ice Palace Guardian to a narrow passage and used the terrain to set a trap. When Tuoba Li ran in, Brook and I blocked his retreat. In the end, we used the Ice Palace Guardian to kill him." Finally, Wenren Muyue did not forget the agreement and did not tell anyone about the formation restrictions, artifacts, etc.

"But why didn't Tuoba Li use the random stone to escape?"

"Well... the situation was extremely critical. He must have been terrified and so flustered that he couldn't even find the Time Stone in his backpack... Haha, haha. Anyway, Tuoba Li was completely eliminated." Wenren Muyue continued, "But we told the public a different story: we were dispersed by Tuoba Li, and in the end, Tuoba Li chased us into a narrow passage and collapsed to the ground, but we don't know how he died. Among the items he dropped on the ground was a team call-up order, but we didn't pick up any of it."

"Right! That's right. We can't pick up things he drops." Wenren Muxue suddenly asked in shock, "Wait! When you blocked Tuoba Li's way, you only blocked the road and didn't attack him, right?"

"No! I didn't use any skills to hit him, and Brook didn't use fire or poison. It was just that when we chased him in, Brook used a telepathic revelation on him so that it would be easier to check his health."

"Oh~ That's fine. Remember, just do as you said. Insist that you didn't know about Tuoba Li's death and it had nothing to do with you!"

"Yes!" Wenren Muyue nodded vigorously.

Wenren Muxue looked at Brook again, and Brook was shocked: Are you trying to urge me to hand in the Lucky Veil? This thing is useful to Brook.

"Not only did you help the Wenren family win first place, you also saved Mu Yue's life. I won't say any more, the Wenren family will remember it in their hearts." Wenren Muxue said sincerely, changing the arrogance she had when they first met.

"Um... you're welcome. We're all friends, it's only natural." Brooke replied, thinking that as long as he didn't have to hand over anything, it would be fine.

"You've been busy all day and night, you must be very tired. Go to bed early, and we can deal with other things later. Brooke, your room has been arranged for you. You will live in the inner courtyard, next to Mu Yun, in a separate courtyard. You can rest assured. The inner courtyard of the Wenren family is an absolutely safe area. If you need anything, feel free to ask at any time."

"Is it the idle courtyard next to my third brother? The environment there is very good and quite quiet." Wenren Muyue said.

"Yes. I have instructed the kitchen in the inner courtyard to prepare meals for you. Don't eat too much. Rest after eating. Go." Wenren Muxue ordered again.

"understood."

Wenren Muyue took Brook to the inner courtyard. After they finished their meal, she personally took Brook to the small courtyard on the east side assigned to him. Then she yawned and went back to her own room in the west courtyard to rest.

"Master Brooke!" Several maids saluted their master in unison.

Each courtyard was served by several maids, who were responsible for making the beds, serving tea and water, sweeping the floor, trimming flowers and cutting grass, etc.

"Um... hello!" Brook was not used to being called young master.

"My name is Chunlan, this is Xialian, this is Qiuju, and this is Dongmei. If Master Brook needs anything, please let us know as soon as possible."

"Okay... There's nothing to do for now, so feel free to do whatever you want. By the way, where is my room?" Although it was a small courtyard, there were several houses.

"Master, your room is over there. Please follow us."

Brooke was taken to his room by Chunlan and the others. The carpet, table, chairs, tea sets, screens, clothes hangers, and oil lamps were all exquisite and luxurious. The bed and quilt were also perfectly prepared. It was much better than the small room he had in the Xu family's pharmacy before.

Brooke couldn't help but sigh. "Yesterday I was meditating under the tree at the manor. Who could have imagined today I'd become a distinguished guest at the Wen family's house, even staying in such a nice room?" Life is truly unpredictable.

Several maids tactfully retreated and closed the door behind them.

Summoning the Holy Beast, the Soul Fire Talisman forcefully attacked the Holy Beast. The Holy Beast was not harmed.

This is indeed a safe zone.

Brooke felt relieved. Only then did he feel tired. So he went to bed, sat cross-legged, and began to rest.

Xuanyuan Dayi came to the Wenren family with two followers.

Xu Jie, Ye Kai and others who were in charge of guarding the gate quickly notified them to go in and lead Xuanyuan Dayi and others into the main courtyard.

Wenren Tianxiang, the patriarch of the Wenren family, received him personally, and Wenren Muxue was also there.

The two sides talked in the study for half an hour, and finally Xuanyuan Dayi said goodbye and left with satisfaction.

"It's so unfair! The three major families are obviously bullying others! Father, we can go to the Dragon Emperor and ask him to seek justice for us." Wenren Muxue said angrily.

"Fair? Haha. Muxue, look at the mountains and the earth outside the window. Are they fair? Look at the birds flying in the sky, and the ants on the ground. Are they fair? Look at yourself. You were born into a noble family, while those maids who clean the house are busy but can only be servants. Is this fair? There is no fairness in the world. Why do you ask others to uphold justice for you?" Wenren Tianxiang said calmly, "In this world, only strength and struggle are the key! Nowadays, things are beyond our control. The emperor also has a lot of worries. If we make things worse, it will only make him upset."

"But this is a divine weapon! If we have it, our family will be able to revive!" Wenren Muxue argued.

"The Skill Necklace originally belonged to the three major families. To them, the Underground Palace Trial was just a game to train their disciples. They originally thought that the first place winner would definitely come from one of their three families, but they didn't expect it to be snatched away by us. We can't keep this artifact! Even if Tuoba Li hadn't happened, the three major families would still find other reasons to take the artifact back."

"So, you have to be open-minded. At least, they have given you enough resources. With these resources, your eldest brother can easily reach the 6th level, and you can also reach the 5th level right away. Most people in our family can be promoted to a higher level."

"......Okay, I understand." Wenren Muxue finally figured it out.

"Then spread the news and do what they ask: It's not the three major families who are forcing us, but we, the people who have taken the initiative to ask for the artifact in exchange for resources. Since the three major families are still concerned about their reputation, fine, let's be generous and give them face intact!"

"Yes, Father. I'll do it right away."
