It was the basic principle of being human.

“But, Master…” The Mu family's men, led by Mu Ying, were a little panicked as they tried to persuade the old master. “What about the Mu family's empire that has existed for years? Are you just going to sit back and watch our empire be destroyed by them?”

Old Master Mu smiled sardonically.

“After asking me to abandon the Gu family, will you guys ask me to send Nan Xian to Qin Fei'er again?”

The breaths of the crowd were caught in their throats, in fact, they did think so.

Qin Fei'er had made a breakthrough to Advanced Holy Warrior tier, a realm most people would never reach in their lifetime.

The Mu family's position in Tian Shen Manor would be stable and secure if they joined the Qin family's side.

They did not have the guts to say that in front of Suyi and the old master, so they expressed their thoughts with their expressions.

Master Mu laughed even more coldly. “I'd rather destroy ten temples than break up a relations.h.i.+p! Nan Xian loves that young girl Xiao Qing. He doesn't like the Qin family's girl. You want him to marry Qin Fei'er? Nonsense!”

Mu Ying paused, gaining courage before saying, “But Mu Ling and Chen Qingyan were once in love, didn't you split them up too, Master?

This time, it was not just the old master Mu, even Mu Ling's expression changed.

Mu Ling never thought that Mu Ying would bring up this matter. He looked at Suyi carefully, and after seeing her face as expressionless as ever, he was a bit disappointed again.

The old master Mu looked at Mu Ying coldly. “Like a mother, like a daughter. Now look, my perspective is correct.”

Not long ago, the old master Mu had beaten Chen Qingyan badly outside his courtyard, not that he had not seen it, but instead, he felt that it was soothing to watch.

Chen Qingyan's mother had killed his beloved wife, and even if he died, he would never want such a daughter-in-law!

He had already become enemies with her and could not live under the same sky.

He did not kill Chen Qingyan because she was too young back then, but it did not mean that he could accept Chen Qingyan as part of his family.

Only Mu Ling, a man with no taste, loved Chen Qingyan so much that he had often visited her young mother, causing her to fall in love with him.

Well…

Mu Ling was already grown up back then, so he felt sorry for Chen Qingyan who had lost her mother at a young age. But why did he not give this empathy to Mu Qingyin? Compared to Chen Qingyan, Mu Qingyin had not seen his mother since birth.

How could he not hate her!

“Besides…” The old master smiled coldly. “Can a son be like a grandson? All my sons are b.a.s.t.a.r.ds, and only my grandchildren have listened to me.”

Mu Ling was speechless.

Somehow, he felt a pain in his heart.

Suyi cleared her throat and said awkwardly, “Old Master, Xiao Qingyin must be sad if he knows this.”

“Oh, that has nothing to do with me.” The old master Mu glanced at the people present coldly. “You can't discuss much here either, so this is the end of today's meeting. All of you are dismissed!”

The people were a bit hesitant and wanted to continue to persuade him, but the old master Mu's temper had always been too difficult to handle.

“Master!”

Suddenly, a voice came through the door in a haste.

When the old master Mu looked up, he saw one of the guards running into the hall, sweating and almost crying. “Old Master, something bad has happened. The scouts reported that people from the Qin family are heading this way seemingly heading to our Mu family.”
