Ling'er stopped what she was doing, she was quite curious about this group of weird masked figures. Tai Shuying tilted her head and looked at the four of them. She also wanted to know their purpose.
Sang Hanshui's eyes fell on Chen Mu, and he had no place to speak here. He was also a little puzzled, no matter how he looked at it, Qiao Yuan didn't look like the kind of person who would easily agree to visit other people's homes. Weah and Xiao Bumo didn't even raise their heads, and they had the same idea surprisingly—Let's leave this kind of question to Chen Mu.
So, everyone's eyes once again focused on Chen Mu.
Originally, he had to think about how to answer, but Tai Shucheng asked directly, and he also answered directly: "I'm here to talk to your master Tai Shuyong about something."
Tai Shucheng opened his mouth wide and stared blankly at Chen Mu, Tai Shuying was dumbfounded, and Ling'er couldn't help showing a bit of weirdness on his face.
Seeing everyone's expressions like this, even a blunt guy like Chen Mu could feel something was wrong. He didn't know where he was wrong, but he didn't panic and asked calmly.
"Oh, what's wrong?"
Taishucheng's face quickly returned to normal, and he smiled helplessly: "It's not that I deliberately made things difficult for you, even I haven't seen my father for four and a half months."
"Why?" Chen Mu was a little puzzled.
Taishucheng said indifferently: "Our Taishu's family is an ancient family, and there will be some strange rules. Speaking of it, it has something to do with the inheritance of the patriarch. The patriarchs of the Taishu's family are not divided according to their age. Every son of the head of the family will be devolved to take over one of the family's properties when they become adults. Whoever performs best will be the most likely to become the head of the next generation."
"Oh." Chen Mu nodded, but he hadn't thought about what it had to do with his request.
"In order to train us better, the old man not only won't give us any help, but also forbids all relatives to provide us with any kind of help. We can only go back to the garden every six months. Only then, we Only the one with the best performance among them will be able to meet the old man. Normally, we have no right to communicate with the family, and we need to seek everything by ourselves."
Chen Mu was quite surprised. He had never had a good impression of the family. Unexpectedly, as a child of an aristocratic family, he would have to face such cruel competition.
Taishucheng wrote lightly: "The winner will be the next generation Patriarch. If the others do not gain the trust of the new Patriarch and enter the Presbyterian Church, they will guard that property and gradually become offshoots of Taishu's family."
After finishing speaking, he apologized to Chen Mu: "There is still one and a half months before we enter the Garden of Heart next time. And" he said with a wry smile, "Even if I return to the Garden of Heart, I can't guarantee that I can see you." Old man, let alone recommending Xiongtai."
Chen Mu was silent, he didn't expect things to become so troublesome all of a sudden.
Ling'er at the side also seemed to feel something, she lowered her head, not knowing what to think. Tai Shuying pouted, if you listen carefully, you can hear her complaining.
Sang Hanshui couldn't help frowning, showing a bit of displeasure. He is a smart man, he knows so many inside stories, and now he can only follow Qiao Yuan. In other words, his honor and disgrace have been completely tied to Chen Mu.
Compared with other wealthy families, he had never heard of Taishu's family. How dare such a little-known small family make such a big deal? The 50th place on the black line star list, even if you go to Shuangyue Hanzhou, you will definitely be number one. This uncle's family is too ignorant.
He couldn't help but snorted coldly.
Sang Hanshui's cold snort suddenly made the atmosphere tense. A trace of nervousness flashed in Tai Shuying's eyes. She had experienced Sang Hanshui's majesty before, and even An Qi secretly praised him for being more powerful than Mahu! Mahu is the number one expert under Taishucheng and serves as its chief guard.
Tai Shucheng's face was grinning, and he couldn't see any unnaturalness, as if he didn't hear Sang Hanshui's cold snort.
The big man beside Ling'er looked at Sang Hanshui solemnly. Those who can show such arrogance on this occasion will definitely not be unknown people.
Ling'er came out to smooth things over at this time, and her voice was clear and sweet: "Don't worry about this gentleman. Uncle Cheng is not exaggerating, not only the uncle's family is like this, but our Jiang family is also the same. Presumably several of them have extraordinary backgrounds, So, why don't you tell me your identity first, I think Uncle Cheng can figure out a way."
She has long been very curious about the identities of the few people.
"I will tell you my identity after seeing your master." Chen Mu shook his head, denying Ling'er's proposal.
In fact, he really wanted to take advantage of Qiao Yuan's identity, so he should be able to meet Tai Shuyong more smoothly. However, in this way, the existence of Weah and Xiaobumo will undoubtedly be exposed.
Besides, Faya is afraid that at this time, he would like to cut himself into pieces. It doesn't matter if Tai Shuyong knows his own identity. But if there are too many people who know about it, it will be very troublesome if it is leaked out. Even if Faya was severely hit by Frost Moon and Cold Continent, the dark power should not be underestimated. Moreover, he refused to help Shuangyue Hanzhou, so it was hard to say whether Shuangyue Hanzhou had any objections to him.
Chen Mu couldn't help but smiled wryly, he finally earned some fame, but now, it seemed that he couldn't fully utilize its value for a while. Although most of the reasons for this were caused by his revenge on Mrs. Faya, but if he did it all over again, he would still make the same choice.
Some things, if you don't do it, you will regret it for the rest of your life.
Things are a bit troublesome, but since he has arrived at the uncle's house, of course he will not give up. The green tattoo on his hand is always a reminder of his situation. "What suggestion does Mr. Cheng have?" Chen Mu asked calmly. It is basically impossible to seize it by force, and Chen Mu can guess that the golden spot fungus must be in the heart garden. Wanting to sneak into Xinshang Garden is an extremely difficult thing in itself. Not to mention, he didn't know where it was kept.
Everyone didn't expect that Chen Mu would still refuse to reveal his identity at this time, and their doubts deepened. Even Sang Hanshui didn't understand why Chen Mu did this. He firmly believed that as long as Chen Mu reported his name, it would be too simple to meet that so-called Tai Shuyong.
Tai Shucheng took a deep look at Chen Mu, and pondered, "I wonder what brother Tai is good at?"
Chen Mu said calmly: "The battle is not bad." Sang Hanshui wanted to roll his eyes when he heard it. Is it not bad? Then what are you
Tai Shucheng suddenly asked: "What do you think, brother, what about my guards?"
"It's terrible." Chen Mu commented unceremoniously, these guards left him a very bad impression.
Tai Shucheng chuckled lightly without hesitation: "I would also like to ask you to make some comments, brother."
These words contained a taste of consideration, Chen Mu calmly replied: "There is no will, no discipline, a mess, a mob."
Ling'er on the side covered her mouth and chuckled lightly. The big man next to her couldn't help showing a bit of a smile. In front of others, criticizing the other party's guards so unceremoniously, this person is really straightforward.
"Well said!" Tai Shucheng clapped his hands and exclaimed, "I spent so much money raising a bunch of trash, and it really failed. I have a proposal, what do you think about it?"
"What proposal?"
"Brother helped me win the Dongrui City Tournament. My requirements are not high, I just need to enter the ranks of the semi-finals. If brother can do it, I am also confident that I can see the old man in one and a half months. At that time, I must Recommend Xiongtai to the old man. As for why Xiongtai is looking for the old man, I don't care. How?" Tai Shucheng said with a smile.
"Dongrui Competition?" Chen Mu raised his head.
Tai Shucheng explained: "Dongrui City, there are countless children from aristocratic families like us. We will hold this kind of competition every year. Against group battles and individual battles. Team battles, each team consists of forty Composed of Ka Xiu, Ka Xiu's perception strength cannot exceed level six. As for individual battles, there are no requirements. The final ranking will be calculated based on the results of the two items."
Chen Mu suddenly understood in his heart that this so-called confrontation should be the evaluation of the martial arts of the children by these aristocratic families. These so-called aristocratic families really put all their energy into the cultivation of their children. It is no wonder that the children cultivated under such a competitive system can stand alone.
Tai Shucheng added: "Personal battles do not require disclosure of identity." He could see that Chen Mu didn't seem to want to disclose his identity. "Okay." Chen Mu nodded: "But I will choose the person, and you can't interfere with me."
"No problem!" Tai Shucheng smiled happily: "From now on, you have full authority to lead all the guards, including Ma Hu, and obey your orders."
Both Tai Shuying and Ling'er looked at Tai Shucheng in surprise. They didn't understand why he would entrust such an important matter to a person who had just met and had no background.
Chen Mu didn't know what the so-called competition was, but he understood its importance. The results of the competition will directly affect Taishu City's evaluation this year, which will also affect his future status in Taishu's family.
How could he easily hand over such an important matter to a person who didn't know the details
"Okay!" Chen Mu got up: "Then let's start."
A look of appreciation flashed in Tai Shucheng's eyes, he liked this vigorous style very much. This also shows from another aspect that the other party is a person with real skills, so he is not timid.
"An Qi, from today onwards, you will be in charge of this gentleman's logistics. Whatever he needs, you will provide. If you can't solve the problem, come to me." Tai Shucheng is also a decisive person, he ordered. He immediately thought of something: "Ying'er, follow An Qi and learn more, don't be naughty every day."
Uncle Ying stuck out her tongue.
Ling'er suddenly said: "Uncle Cheng, Ling'er also wants to follow along."
Taishucheng laughed dumbfounded: "Your Jiang family is much better than our Taishu's family in this respect. Since you are interested, there is nothing wrong with it. But, you have to help me keep an eye on Ying'er, and don't allow her to be naughty." Ling'er's father has a deep friendship with Tai Shucheng and is also his most important ally.
Uncle Ying made a face at her father in dissatisfaction.
After seeing them finished speaking, Chen Mu said, "Let's go." An Qi and others hurriedly followed behind him.
In a moment, there was only Taishucheng left in the room.
He sat blankly, holding the empty teacup tightly in his hand, secretly lost in thought.
This year is the most important year to compete for the Patriarch! He thought of the news secretly sent by the elder not long ago, and his heart was churning endlessly. If you don't fight at this time, you may not even have a chance in the future!
