Chapter 196 The Executive Power of the Leading Families in the Capital: The Shock of the Mu Sisters
After seeing her sister's actions, Mu Nujiao protectively pulled Zu Qingyun behind her.
"Little sister, I can give you anything else, but this is mine, you can't take it from me!"
Seeing her older sister's expression, Mu Nuxin reluctantly withdrew her hand.
"Hmph, they're not even married yet, and he's already so protective. It's not like his sister will hurt him by touching him a couple of times."
(ˉ▽ ̄~)
Upon hearing her younger sister's words, Mu Nujiao immediately grabbed her ear.
"Ouch! Big sister, be gentle, it hurts!"
Upon seeing this scene, Qi Shan felt a surge of inexplicable anger rising within him. He didn't know where he got the courage, but he directly challenged Zu Qingyun.
"You brat, doesn't Nu Xin like you? Do you have the guts to have a man's duel with me?!"
Zu Qingyun: Meow meow meow? ? ?
Three seconds later.
“Bang!!”
Qi Shan's body was slammed into the outermost wall of the courtyard. The entire battle lasted less than a second from start to finish.
Seeing his miserable state, Mu Jiao and Mu Nuxin were both stunned, while Zu Qingyun looked completely innocent.
"It's alright, I've stopped. Even without a healing mage, given his physical condition, he can gradually recover on his own after lying down for three to five months."
The inner room of the pastor's house.
"In fact, fire-type soul seeds are not rare. As long as you are willing to take some risks, you can obtain them. The fire-type soul seed with its own domain that I gave to Sister Jiao Jiao before was obtained from the heart of the Taklamakan Desert."
When they heard Zu Qingyun say that fire-type soul seeds were not rare, Mu Nujiao and Mu Nuxin thought that Zu Qingyun had some good ideas. However, after hearing what he said next, they immediately said that their "small family" could not do such a thing.
In demon-infested areas, soul seeds are not exactly rare, but such places usually have one or even multiple monarch-level creatures, and even forbidden spellcasters who get caught in them are very likely to be unable to escape.
"I can help you resolve the issue of the Kunlun Mountain Sun Ridge fire vein, and I can also guarantee that the Mu family won't try to take away your share of the pie."
“The Zhao family needs someone from my family to discuss this with them, so our Zu family will take 40% of the shares.”
Upon hearing Zu Qingyun's words, Mu Nujiao and Mu Nuxin both showed a hint of joy in their eyes.
But Zu Qingyun quickly added, "Of course, I'm only helping the Mu family because of Sister Jiaojiao. Otherwise, if it were any other aristocratic family, I wouldn't even give them a drop of the soup, let alone the lion's share."
The family business is spread all over the world, and they don't lack such small sums. But as the saying goes, who would complain about having too much money?
Before long, Zu Qingyun got through to his father on the phone.
"Hey, Grandpa, there's a fire vein over at Sun Ridge in the Kunlun Mountains. Your granddaughter-in-law and I have discussed it, and we'll give 60% of the resources there to her family, and the remaining 40% to our ancestral family."
At the same time, when Mu Nujiao heard Zu Qingyun say that she was his wife, a blush appeared on her cheeks. So, is she selling herself in exchange for 60% ownership of the Fire Vein?
What a shame!
"The fire veins over Sun Ridge in Kunlun Mountain? That's possible, but there's a Kunlun demon lord there at the monarch level. I'm wondering if your cousin Zu Xiangtian should lead some people to help you kill that demon."
Hearing this, Zu Qingyun thought to himself that the old man was indeed the old man, always so decisive and efficient in his actions.
“Grandpa, let me handle that monarch demon. It will take my cousin a while to come all the way from the Holy City.” Zu Qingyun’s voice was calm, and Zu Hengyao did not refuse.
"It's best to be careful. That beast is troublesome. If all else fails, Zhu Meng is pretty free lately, so you can have him come along."
He paused for a moment after saying this.
"I still have some things to take care of. I will talk to your Grandpa Mu, that old man from the Zhao family, and the people below about the Kunlun Mountain Sun Ridge Fire Vein."
After hanging up the phone, the matter concerning the Kunlun Mountain Sun Ridge fire vein has been preliminarily finalized.
With the old man's guarantee, it can be said that the matter is completely settled.
At the same time, upon hearing Zu Qingyun and Zu Hengyao so casually hand over 60% ownership of the Fire Vein to their Mu family and state that they would eliminate the Kunlun Demon Lord, their eyes were filled with astonishment.
This was the first time they had directly experienced the overwhelming pressure and execution power emanating from the leading families in the capital.
"Sister Jiaojiao, the matter concerning the Fire Vein is basically settled. Sixty percent of the profits will go to the Mu family, but our ancestral family will need to take forty percent as protection money."
Zu Qingyun's voice carried a hint of ease, while Mu Nuxin swallowed hard, finding it hard to believe that the problem that had nearly caused the Mu family such a headache had been resolved so easily.
But at that moment, Mu Nujiao's communicator rang, breaking the silence in the tea room.
"Jiaojiao, you did a great job. The Zu family, the leading family in the capital, just called me and said they would help with the fire veins in Sun Ridge and promised us 60% of the profits, but you..."
At this point, the middle-aged man opposite him paused for a moment.
"It's just that the Zu family wants you to become the wife of their second young master. But I've heard that although the second young master of the Zu family is extremely talented, he and Mu Tingying from the Mu family in the capital are childhood sweethearts, and he's also having an affair with Mu Ningxue, the genius girl from the capital. I'm afraid you'll be bullied by them after you enter the Zu family."
Hearing her father's words, Mu Nujiao's cheeks were already red to the roots of her ears. She knew Mu Ningxue and was quite familiar with her. She had also met Mu Tingying a few times, but she didn't seem difficult to get along with.
Mu Nujiao took a deep breath, feigning nervousness, and said directly, "Father, don't worry. For the future of the family, it's alright for me to suffer a little."
At the same time, upon hearing Mu Nujiao brazenly proclaim such a rebellious act against the Heavenly Gang, Zu Qingyun rolled his eyes at her.
As the phone call ended, Mu Nujiao noticed Zu Qingyun's interrogative expression.
"Two Star River Veins, one Star Sea Heaven Vein, one top-grade fire-type soul seed, plus a fire vein that can guarantee the Mu family's future benefits, Sister Jiaojiao, what you mean by 'suffering a little'... I'm a little unclear about that."
Seeing Zu Qingyun's feigned displeasure, Mu Nujiao gently hugged him.
The large fruit pressed against his chest, making his lower abdomen feel hot.
"Oh dear, Qingyun, please give her some face. Your little sister is still here."
