My wife is a practitioner, I am invincible when I lie down

After all, Zhao Qiqi is young and doesn't seem to have any bad intentions, so she is trustworthy for the time being.

Zhao Mu invited the two of them to dinner as an excuse to get a lot of information about the ancient Zhao family from Zhao Qiqi.

The so-called ancient clan refers to a family with a heritage of at least 100,000 years.

The value of the ancient clan far exceeds that of the imperial clan.

A heritage that starts at 100,000 years is enough to allow any mediocre bloodline to grow stronger step by step.

Moreover, the fact that the ancient clan was able to be established in the first place at least meant that it had a powerful God King in charge.

It can be said that the blood of the descendants of the ancient clan are all the blood of the powerful God Kings, so there is no such thing as mediocre people.

But on the Holy Xuan Continent, ancient clans are quite rare.

They are often very secretive and low-key, unknown to outsiders, and are truly hidden families.

The Zhao family is such a reclusive family.

Although the ancient Zhao family is located in the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty, ordinary people in Zhongzhou and even in the Great Zhou Dynasty are not qualified to know about the existence of the Zhao family.

Even some powerful Saint Emperors may not have heard of the existence of the Zhao family.

Only those who hold extraordinary power are qualified to have contact with the ancient clan.

According to Zhao Qiqi, there were many ancient clans in the Holy Xuan Continent in the past, but now there are only four ancient clans still standing.

The Zhao family is one of them.

The other three families are the Ye family, the Xiao family, and the Chu family.

The reason why Zhao Qiqi appeared in Yuanjing City today was because she was in the Zhao family's adult trial.

The descendants of the ancient Zhao family were ordered to travel when they reached the age of sixteen.

The travel time can be as short as a year and a half, or as long as ten or even dozens of years.

Zhao Qiqi planned to go to the Ghost Nest restricted area for trials in a few days, but she was most afraid of sneaky things, so she was hesitant to leave. She happened to come across a martial arts exchange meeting, so she thought of buying some magic weapons that could deal with evil ghosts and resentful spirits.

It was precisely because of this that she had a conflict and a fight with other Saint Emperor Realm masters at the auction.

Ok……

Zhao Mu smiled and said, "Then you shouldn't have to go to the ghost nest. The ghost nest has been completely cleared out, and there's not a single ghost left in there."

Zhao Qiqi was surprised and delighted: "Really? That's great, I really don't want to go to that kind of gloomy ghost place. Uncle, you heard me, right? We can go to another place for the trial."

"If what Young Friend Zhao Mu said is true, then we can indeed consider changing our destination."

The protector whom Zhao Qiqi calls the second uncle is actually named Zhao Rongcheng. He is also an elder with considerable power and status in the ancient Zhao family.

He usually doesn't act as a protector for family members, but Zhao Qiqi is different. She is the daughter of the clan leader and is extremely talented. She is the key training target for the next generation of the family, so he condescended to take on the important task of protector and protect Zhao Qiqi's safety all the way.

With his strength, it is not difficult for him to deal with the three eighth-level Saint Emperor masters just now.

But after all, it was on a busy street, and if the noise was too loud, it would have a bad impact.

So he was still very grateful to Zhao Mu for his help.

Especially when he knew that Zhao Mu might be a descendant of the Zhao family's side branch, Zhao Rongcheng looked at Zhao Mu with even more favor.

"Young friend Zhao Mu, we are planning to go to the Southern Territory next. I wonder if you are free to join us. I really want to visit your Zhao family and see for myself to confirm the true situation. If it is indeed a branch of our ancient Zhao family, then I can report it to the clan leader so that you can return to your roots as soon as possible and leave the wild land of the Southern Territory."

Before Zhao Mu could answer, Zhao Qiqi's eyes lit up.

"Yes, Brother Zhao Mu, this is a good thing. You have lived in the Southern Territory for so many years, and your life must have been very hard. If you can return to your roots soon, you can obtain the resources of our ancient Zhao family. Then your life will definitely be much better than it is now. Please take us to the Southern Territory quickly. This kind of good thing must be done as soon as possible."

Zhao Mu didn't show the anxious expression the two of them had expected. Instead, he said calmly, "Don't worry about this. I need to check it out first. Besides, I have some important matters to attend to in the Qianyuan Dynasty, so I won't be traveling with you for the time being."

It's so funny. The Zhao family is living a very comfortable life now, so why should they rush to trace their roots?

Zhao Mu always believed that it is better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. If he really joined the ancient Zhao family, he might get some benefits, but he would lose more.

Wouldn't it be more comfortable to be a local tyrant in the Southern Territory?

With the current development speed of the Zhao family, in a few years, it will not be them who go to trace their ancestral roots, but the ancient Zhao family who will come to trace their ancestral roots.

So what if they are direct or collateral descendants? In the end, it’s all about strength.

Zhao Mu's sudden cold attitude left Zhao Rongcheng and Zhao Qiqi a little confused.

They obviously couldn't understand Zhao Mu's thoughts.

This is a good thing that you would never encounter even with a lantern, so what is there to hesitate about?

It is such an honor to be able to join the ancient Zhao family.

If someone else had such an opportunity, they would probably kneel down and express their gratitude.

Zhao Mu, however, had an indifferent expression on his face.

Where does he get the confidence?

Is it because he is too young and doesn't understand the significance of the word "ancient clan"?

That's certainly the case.

Zhao Qiqi was just about to try to persuade Zhao Mu with all her heart, but Zhao Mu made an excuse that he had something to do, paid the bill, and left with An Jing.

Such an unpleasant situation made Zhao Rongcheng frown slightly.

"I thought he was a talented young man, but I didn't expect him to be so narrow-minded and foolish. He doesn't know how to appreciate my kindness. It seems I overestimated him."

"Uncle, don't say that. Brother Zhao Mu might have his concerns. Anyway, let's go to the Southern Region first to see what the situation is. If it's true, report it to father and let him make the final decision."

"Well, let's just decide. Let's go."

……

Back at the Prime Minister's Mansion, An Jing couldn't help but say, "Young Master, I didn't expect you to be a descendant of the Ancient Clan. No wonder you're so powerful. But are you really not planning to return to the Ancient Clan? The resources the Ancient Clan possesses are unimaginable to ordinary warriors. It would be a pity to miss such a good opportunity."

"The ancient clan may be very powerful, but my family is not much inferior. Instead of living a dependent life, I prefer the feeling of living in a corner and making little progress at a time." Zhao Mu said lightly.

An Jing didn't expect Zhao Mu to be so ambitious. Her eyes suddenly lit up and she was full of admiration.

"Young master has been out all day, and his body must be covered with a lot of dust. Let An Jing help him bathe and change clothes." An Jing said with a blushing face.

Zhao Mu nodded and walked towards the bathroom.

As a result, when I was halfway through washing, Wang Yuxuan also rushed in.

"Master, everything is ready... Hey, An Jing, you actually ate behind the Witch Lady's back. I'm going to complain to the Witch Lady!"

An Jing was so frightened that she froze in place. After she came to her senses, she rushed out and pulled Wang Yuxuan back.

"Yuxuan baby, please don't. We are good sisters. You can't complain to the witch. Someone might die!"

Wang Yuxuan snorted, but didn't really mean to complain. She smiled and walked into the bathroom, saying, "Then get out of the way. Serving Young Master Zhao is such an important task, and it's definitely better for me to do it."
