Quick Wear: Even big guys have to work hard

"Ji Shi, what is your opinion on this matter?"

The Emperor of Da Mo looked at Emperor Gaozu.

"Your Majesty, the Mu family has done the Ji family a great favor. Therefore, the Mu family should terminate the vassal contract in advance and present the Ji family with five years' worth of produce from their sacred estate as a token of appreciation!"

Emperor Gaozu would certainly not fail at a crucial moment, and he was indeed very grateful to the Mu family.

If it weren't for Mi Wu, the Ji family would definitely have incurred the wrath of the wandering immortals and might have been wiped out.

The annual resource income of the Marquis of Ji'an.

Lingzhuang accounted for almost half of the output, and the yield over five years was quite substantial, considering that the Earl's Mansion still had a large number of cultivators to train.

Emperor Gaozu made a decisive decision.

In the presence of two powerful immortals, the Emperor of Da Mo, and numerous cultivators, the vassalage contract with the Mu clan was terminated on the spot.

He immediately won Mi Wu's favor!

The decision-makers in the Ji family are not bad; they can be salvaged.

"Great Ancestor!"

The Crown Prince's wife suddenly spoke up, her tone filled with resentment.

"Those vile women of the Mu family harmed my children! How can you let those lowly slaves of the Mu family go? You must do justice for my children!"

Bitch slave?

So, in the eyes of the Crown Prince's wife, all cultivators who have attached themselves to other clans are lowly slaves?

Not only the Mu family, but also the Wu family, the Lü family, and other affiliated clans of the Ji family.

Especially the Zheng family patriarch, who has a Golden Core cultivator. The Zheng family is also a follower of the Ji family. Is he also a lowly slave?

Mi Wu: "..."

Feng Jiu, the Immortal: "..."

The surrounding cultivators: "..."

"Shut up, you stupid woman!"

Emperor Gaozu of Han was really going to be driven mad by this foolish woman; she's drawing hatred from all over the map.

Many of the cultivators present were followers of the affiliated clan, which provoked widespread anger!

"Ha, so in the eyes of our master, we are just lowly slaves!"

"That's right, we're just lowly slaves!"

"I have cultivated myself for countless years and served my master with utmost diligence, yet in the end I am still just a lowly slave!"

……

Poor Ji'an Earl's family, they married such a foolish heir's wife.

If she becomes the matriarch in the future and the Ji family does not decline, we are willing to bet that our cultivation levels will regress!

The cultivators couldn't help but look at Ji Gaozu with pity, while the Ji family members felt utterly ashamed.

They knew to some extent that the Crown Prince's wife wasn't very shrewd, but they never imagined she would be so foolish.

Especially the heir apparent; back then, he was betrothed to the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Wu'an.

He fell in love with the concubine's daughter of the Marquis's family and, despite his elders' objections, insisted on marrying her.

Now he regrets it.

There is indeed a difference between legitimate daughters and illegitimate daughters, but this is his own choice, and he has to bear the consequences, even if he has to kneel down.

The current Earl and his wife strongly opposed their son marrying a concubine's daughter.

She just couldn't resist him and really wanted to divorce him right away; what a foolish daughter-in-law.

But they can't!

The Marquis of Wu'an's mansion is not to be trifled with.

Marrying someone you want and divorcing them you want? There's no such thing as a free lunch. You were the ones who insisted on marrying a concubine's daughter in the first place!

Ji Gaozu and Ji Laoboye exchanged a glance and nodded slightly, as if they had made a decision.

This farce has finally come to an end.

The cultivators had eaten so much juicy gossip, and were even lucky enough to witness two powerful rogue immortals. This was enough to keep them talking for hundreds of years.

Mo Fanchen, a rogue immortal, invited Feng Jiu, another rogue immortal, to visit the imperial city and renew their friendship.

The cultivators, looking satisfied, returned to their respective homes. The Mu family members excitedly went back to pack their belongings, handing over what needed to be handed over and saying goodbye.

They will be temporarily settled back in Mujiazhuang.

Waiting for the imperial court to bestow its rewards.

Ten days later.

The imperial court bestowed honors upon them.

He was bestowed with a noble mansion in the capital, a grand five-courtyard residence near the imperial city, with fairly good spiritual energy.

There are also two other properties, Xiaolingzhuang and Xiaolingshan, located in Tianmo Mountain, in order to win over the Mu family.

Xiaolingzhuang and Xiaolingshan are connected, which makes management easier.

In most aristocratic families, the sacred estate and sacred mountain were separate.

The title of Mu family was naturally given to Mu Sheng, the head of the Mu family.

He was one of only two Foundation Establishment stage cultivators in the Mu family, and all these favors were thanks to Mi Wu.

However, Mi Wu's current father is only at the Body Refinement stage, while Mu Sheng is her great-grandfather, so he is the only one who can be her father.

On this day, Mi Wu followed Mu Sheng to the Ji Anbo Mansion to attend the farewell banquet.

After all, the clan alliance has lasted for hundreds of years, and the two families are still very close. We cannot let the two families become estranged because of a foolish crown prince's wife.

What's more.

Mi Wu deserves much credit for Ji Shi's ability to eliminate the major threat of twins.

Having resolved the matter of annihilating the clan, the Ji family still had one hidden danger: the heir apparent's wife.

Because he was deeply loved by the Crown Prince.

She wields considerable power in the Earl's mansion; if she causes any trouble, it will be the Earl's mansion that suffers.

Furthermore, the Ji family harbors an even greater hidden danger.

The current Emperor of the Great Mo Dynasty has reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage and is about to abdicate to go into seclusion.

The battle for the throne had already begun, and Lady Ji'anbo's aunt was the mother of the King of Liang.

The Prince of Liang was undoubtedly involved in the struggle for the throne.

The information collected from Mi Wu's Seven Spirits Inheritance System is used for speculation.

Among the kings of the Great Mo Dynasty, the one with the strongest fortune at present is not the King of Liang, but the King of Yan.

Therefore, the next successor to the throne of the Great Mo Dynasty is very likely to be the Prince of Yan.

but.

The cultivation dynasty is quite unique.

Because fortune can be fought for, who will ultimately be the winner?

It is subject to the limitations of the local time and space celestial order.

Even if the Seven Spirits Inheritance System collects the causal threads, it cannot accurately deduce the cause and effect.

Who succeeded him in the previous life?

It wasn't mentioned in the mission background either.

But sure.

It definitely can't be the Prince of Liang!

Mi Wu felt that the Liang King's side would definitely drag the Ji An Earl's Mansion into the fray to help him seize the throne, since the Earl's wife was the head mistress of the household.

Especially since Mi Wu possesses the token to the Heavenly Bay Secret Realm, and the relationship between the Mu and Ji families is well-known, King Liang certainly wouldn't let go of this powerful competitive advantage.

But Mi Wu didn't want to help King Liang.

In the previous life, the destruction of the Ji Anbo Mansion did not actually affect the mortals living in Ji Family Village.

Because it is bound by the laws of Heaven.

It's best to avoid letting conflicts between cultivators affect ordinary people, otherwise, the power of the tribulations they face during their tribulations will be amplified.

This is a conclusion drawn from the bloody lessons learned by countless people undergoing tribulations.

indeed.

Regardless of the time or place of the cultivation world, the laws of Heaven are roughly the same: the sin of killing mortals is heavier than that of killing cultivators.

otherwise.

With the cultivators' powerful abilities, they can be reduced to ashes with a flick of their wrists. How are mortals supposed to survive?

The Ji family mortals who lived in their previous lives lost their backers and were naturally harassed by various families.

Not only did the King of Liang ignore the situation and refuse to help, but in order to win people over, he also gave away the Ji family's daughter as a gift.

This was mentioned by Ji Xianren.

He hoped that the Ji family could stay away from the King of Liang.

It is clear that King Liang was not the final winner; otherwise, Ji Xianren would have mentioned it.

so.

One should not go too far in life.

There are people watching from above!

"Emperor Ji, this is a gift from the Mu family!"

Of course, one cannot go to a banquet empty-handed. The gifts prepared by the Mu family were all bestowed by the imperial court, a way of presenting gifts to the emperor.

"Haha, Mu Sheng, you're too kind!"

Emperor Gaozu was quite pleased, and they continued to exchange gifts, maintaining their relationship in the future.

Having gained the protection of the wandering immortal, the Mu family naturally wanted to continue their good relations.

"what?"

Ji Gaozu took out a jade slip from the gifts he had given.

His consciousness swept away.

His gaze suddenly became complicated. The jade slip contained a passage that Mi Wu had inscribed.

The gist of it is that she is willing to give the Ji family a spot in the Tianwan Secret Realm if the current Ji Anbo branch is replaced.

Ji Anbo was the eldest son of the direct line.

but.

The old man also has three sons, all of whom are legitimate sons.

Mi Wu also specifically pointed out that she has high hopes for Ji Fengshuo, the third grandson of the second wife, and plans to take him to Tianwan Secret Realm.

Needless to say.

She hoped that the title of Duke of Ji'an would be transferred to the second branch of the family.

Because Ji Fengshuo's destiny currently appears to be the best among the Ji family members.

As long as he doesn't die young, he will surely lead the Ji family to a higher level in the future.

Ji Gaozu's lips twitched slightly. He and Old Master Ji were discussing this matter.

However, what they had originally planned was to replace the heir apparent, but if they did that, the current Earl Ji An would definitely object, as he only has one son, the heir apparent, who is a cultivator.

That's why a final decision hasn't been made yet.

If Mi Wu could take Ji Fengshuo to the Tianwan Secret Realm to compete for the fortune.

Then what's there to hesitate about? The title of Marquis Ji'an must be transferred to the second branch of the family.

They are all direct descendants, so they must be the branch with the strongest fortune, inheriting the Earl's mansion.
