Chapter 291 Storage Bracelet
Storage bracelet, what's inside?
"You mean this, this is the same thing as the Qiankun bag you gave to your grandfather?" Kuang Guya was stunned and asked in disbelief.
"Yes, in fact, the space inside this storage bracelet is much larger than the Qiankun bag I gave to my grandfather. After you acknowledge it as your master, you will know that it is not ugly but the treasure itself is filthy."
Mu Qingyin smiled and said, "You should recognize it as your master first. Once you recognize it, you will find that its appearance looks impeccable. Not only does it look precious, but it can also change its appearance according to your wishes, and can also be hidden from others."
"so good?"
To be honest, Kuang Guya had been secretly coveting the Qiankun bag that Mu Qingyin took out for a long time.
Now that her daughter was able to take out a storage bracelet that was better than the Qiankun bag, and took out two at a time, Kuang Guya knew without asking that she must have gained a lot from this trip.
So she didn't ask any questions and just pricked her fingertips and smeared the bright red blood on the storage bracelet, which she liked more and more.
A ray of light flashed, and the storage bracelet stained with Kuang Guya's blood flew towards her wrist. The light faded, and the bracelet, which was originally full of impurities and looked particularly rough and cheap, suddenly turned into a crystal clear pink.
"It's really beautiful."
The moment the storage bracelet recognized its owner, Kuang Guya discovered that the space inside it was indeed huge. It looked to be as large as twenty acres, much larger than the storage bag that her father, Old Master Kuang, had, which was only six or seven acres in size.
The appearance also changed, becoming extremely beautiful, and the bracelet was so attractive at first sight that people were overjoyed.
"In addition to the money given to my grandmother, these are for my aunts, sisters, and cousins."
He took out another box with more than a dozen pieces of various jewellery storage items, some with different sizes inside, but none of them were very big, only between one and two acres.
Mu Qingyin smiled and said to Kuang Guya: "In addition to these, I also have some Qiankun bags, but none of them are as big as the one I gave to my grandfather. They are only about two or three acres or three or four acres in size."
She smiled and said, "I'll give those to grandpa, and you can give these to grandma to share with everyone."
"So many? How on earth did you get all this?"
The box in his hand is filled with more than a dozen pieces, which are said to be the same storage jewelry as the Qiankun bag and his own storage bracelet.
And these are obviously not all. Mu Qingyin still has a considerable number of Qiankun bags in her hands. Kuang Guya felt that her heart was about to stop beating, and her hands could not help but tremble.
"I saved someone, and by chance, we both entered a secret realm. These were all found in that secret realm. In addition to these storage jewelry and Qiankun bags, I also got a lot of magic weapons and instruments."
Mu Qingyin smiled and recounted the process of how she saved Xuanyuan Changxu.
Of course, she did not say that the secret realm had become Xuanyuan Changxu's personal secret realm. She only mentioned Xuanyuan Changxu's identity and said that he was kind. Because she saved him, he insisted on giving her an extra share of the treasures in the secret realm to repay her for saving his life.
After she said this, Kuang Guya's favorable impression of Xuanyuan Changxu immediately increased. Then she misunderstood and thought that Mu Qingyin's late return was due to the fact that she and Xuanyuan Changxu accidentally entered the secret realm.
Kuang Guya's misunderstanding was exactly what Mu Qingyin wanted, so she smiled and said nothing without explaining.

Chapter 292 Make the best use of everything
Not to mention the shock caused to the female members of the direct lineage of the Kuang family by the storage jewelry that Mu Qingyin took out, let's talk about Old Master Kuang and Kuang Zhihai.
Seeing the huge pile of Qiankun bags in front of them, which looked like a small mountain, and the magical instruments and treasures that they could not use as ordinary warriors now, Old Master Kuang and Kuang Guya could not help but tremble in their hands.
"This? Did you get all of these in that secret realm?"
"Yes, but these are not all. In addition to the ones given to mother and grandmother, there are some that I kept for myself. Oh, and this one."
Taking out a magnificent men's ring and placing it in front of Old Master Kuang, Mu Qingyin said with a smile, "Grandfather, the space inside this Qiankun ring is much larger than the storage space in the Qiankun bag I gave you before.
And the space is more solid and stable, you should change the Qiankun bag. You can keep the Qiankun bag if you want to, but if you don't want to use it, just erase the spiritual power mark left in it.
Although you will inevitably feel a little uncomfortable after erasing your spiritual power mark, it is not a big problem. You just need to rest for a while and you will recover. "
Erasing an object that has already recognized its owner by yourself will not cause much damage to your mental strength. At most, you will feel a little tired.
Only when the mark is forcibly erased will there be backlash and mental damage.
I explained this to Old Master Kuang in detail, and he stroked his beard, nodded and smiled, "Haha, good, good. It just so happens that I will give the Qiankun bag to your uncle once I have erased the mark. He has been coveting my Qiankun bag for a long time."
"Grandfather, now that the Qiankun bag is no longer missing, you can't be partial."
Blinking, Mu Qingyin laughed mischievously: "Otherwise, when the second uncle, third uncle, and cousin find out that not only the aunts have storage jewelry, but even the cousins have them too, be careful that they will come over to make trouble for you."
"Hahaha, you little girl, you did this on purpose, didn't you? You wanted to make grandpa have these things in his hands before they could even get warm, and then they would be scattered as soon as he turned his hand. You wanted to make grandpa feel distressed, didn't you?"
After laughing a few times, Old Master Kuang looked at Mu Qingyin in a very good mood and pretended to be helpless and said, "Why? In your mind, is your grandfather such a stingy person? He only takes in and never spends out?"
"No, I know that my grandfather has his own considerations. But to be honest, this Qiankun bag is not a rare item in the world of cultivation.
Even the poorest casual cultivators can carry one or two with them. Now that we have accidentally acquired so many, are we just going to leave them there to grow worms? Of course, we should make the best use of them.
It's just right. Anyway, we will all go to the world of cultivation in the future, so let's get used to using this Qiankun bag first, so that we won't be ignorant and make a fuss and be laughed at by others, right?"
"You're not unreasonable. These Qiankun bags really came just in time. Now that our family is moving back to the upper country, won't these Qiankun bags come in handy?"
Looking at those Qiankun bags, he calculated that even if each son and grandson received one, he would still have a lot left. Old Man Kuang felt even better.
This time, he got so many treasures in one go that he finally realized that these Qiankun bags can be used not only by their owners.
However, even so, he also knew that it would be more reassuring to use the Qiankun bag and Qiankun ring after they had recognized their master, so he immediately recognized the Qiankun ring that Mu Qingyin had given him as its master.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 293 Dislike
The moment the Qiankun Ring recognized its master, Old Master Kuang discovered that there was a storage space of more than 100 acres in the Qiankun Ring. He couldn't help but sighed with satisfaction: "You and Xuanyuan Changxu have a great chance together."
After sighing, Old Master Kuang paused stroking his beard, looked at Mu Qingyin suspiciously and asked, "Could it be that Xuanyuan Changxu has taken a fancy to you? Otherwise, why would he be so generous? He insisted on giving you an extra portion of the things he got from the secret realm?"
To put it in another way, if it were Old Master Kuang himself, he would definitely not be willing to do this.
Even if he is your lifesaver, it won't work. At most, I can let him choose the items he likes and take a few more. It's impossible to take more.
But Xuanyuan Changxu was willing to give up one-third of the treasure for his granddaughter. He didn't believe that he had no feelings for his granddaughter.
When he thought that someone was so bold as to want to take away his treasure, Old Master Kuang became nervous and all his good impression of Xuanyuan Changxu disappeared in an instant.
He immediately said to Mu Qingyin with a nervous look on his face: "Qingyin, the royal family is not a good place to go. Besides, you are already an immortal now, how can ordinary people be worthy of you?"
"Don't worry, Grandfather. I have no interest in him and have already rejected him."
"Rejected, just reject it."
I was so angry. It turned out that he was right. Was Xuanyuan Changxu really a toad wanting to eat swan meat? No, even if Qingyin rejected him, a strong woman is afraid of a clinging man. He had to keep a close eye on her from now on and never let Xuanyuan get what he wanted.
Old Master Kuang thought angrily. There are no good people in the royal family. They are all promiscuous and have countless beauties in the harem and backyard. How can such a person be worthy of his Qingyin?
Besides, there is still hatred between their Kuang family and Xuanyuan Changxu's father because he almost drained their family dry and drove them out of the country.
No, his family would never agree to let Qingyin become the daughter-in-law of his Xuanyuan clan.
Old Master Kuang thought bitterly, fearing that Mu Qingyin would be won over by Xuanyuan Changxu's means in the future. He had to tell Mu Qingyin in advance that the people of the Xuanyuan family of the upper kingdom were unreliable, as well as their various secret scandals and romantic debts. In short, every word and sentence that Old Master Kuang said pointed out that there was no good person in the Xuanyuan family, and that everyone was a big liar who was good at disguising himself, specializing in deceiving young girls...
This made Mu Qingyin laugh and cry. She had to give up the idea of trying to gain favor for Xuanyuan Changxu in front of Old Master Kuang. She almost swore to heaven that she would not be fooled.
Mu Qingyin acted very rationally, and was not confused at all. She did not resist and seemed to be able to listen to his teachings. This made Old Master Kuang very pleased and relieved.
However, he was not completely relieved, and stroked his beard and continued, "Grandfather is not against you getting married. You are now an immortal, and you can no longer use the secular terms. You should be called a Taoist couple.
Grandfather is not against you finding a Taoist partner. After all, the road to immortality is long. If you are alone all the time without a Taoist partner, you will not be able to leave your bloodline behind. But Grandfather hopes that you can open your eyes and find someone who is responsible.
I am not saying that all the Xuanyuan clan members are bad. But Xuanyuan Changxu's branch, not to mention the distant past, just counting from his great-grandfather, there is not a single good person.
Don't think that he is so nice to you right now and that you are grateful for his little favors. Little do you know that this is probably his trick. He is clearly trying to get more out of a small effort. "
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 294: Covering up the Lie
"Well, Grandfather, don't worry. I've made it clear to him that I won't be looking for a Taoist partner in the short term."
Mu Qingyin tried not to laugh. She just thought it was very interesting that her grandfather looked so worried about her and worried that she would be deceived by a nasty man at the next moment.
She didn't seem impatient, but nodded repeatedly while listening.
"Yes, no matter who we look for, we can't look for someone from his branch." Old Master Kuang nodded, and then said to Mu Qingyin with some reluctance, "Otherwise, I think we shouldn't take too much advantage of him. Why don't we return some of the things we took from him?"
Things that come for free in this world are often the most expensive, so it is better not to take advantage of something when you shouldn't.
The more Old Master Kuang thought about it, the more he nodded. He endured the pain of wanting to spit out the fat meat in his mouth and said with determination: "Yes, we won't take advantage of him. This way, we will have confidence when he comes to our house in the future."
".Well?"
How come the topic turned to "returning" the things? How to return? Many of these things were taken out by her. If grandpa went to confront Xuanyuan Changxu, wouldn't he be exposed? I didn't expect grandpa to be so "upright"? Mu Qingyin hurriedly shook her head and said anxiously: "Grandpa, please don't. Some of these treasures were obtained by me, and even Xuanyuan Changxu doesn't know about it. What do you mean by returning them? If you really return them, won't it be a bargain for him?"
"Oh? What do you mean?" Another one? Could it be that Qingyin had another adventure? Old Master Kuang asked with interest.
"Didn't I save Xuanyuan Changxu at that time? While he was unconscious, I had already discovered a secret house in that secret realm.
There are many good things, especially the storage bracelet and the Qiankun ring that I gave to my mother, grandmother, and you. These were all taken from that secret house. We didn't find them together later, so how can we share them with him?"
Mu Qingyin grumbled in mock dissatisfaction, but she was lamenting in her heart: This person really can't lie, otherwise he will have to tell countless lies to cover up one lie.
She sighed secretly, and said to herself, "The things I got from the secret house are much better than those I got with Xuanyuan Changxu. At that time, I didn't dare to tell him because I thought it was better to show off my wealth. How about you?"
"Yes, you are right. We should really keep our wealth to ourselves and make a fortune quietly."
Old Master Kuang was stunned for a moment, then he was overjoyed: "Didn't I know there was such a hidden story here? I never thought of returning the good stuff.
What I meant was that although you saved him, we still took too much. If we owe him a favor for this, how uneconomical would it be? Why not just pick a few unimportant and duplicate items and return them. In this way, he still owes us.
We don't ask for anything else, we just hope that we can still speak loudly in front of him in the future. Don't feel that we owe him and don't have the confidence to refuse his requests? "
"Grandfather, you don't have to do this. I saved his life in the first place, so what does it matter if we take a few more things? How can it be considered that we owe him something? Is his life only worth those few things?"
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 295 Practice
Mu Qingyin felt that her grandfather was probably still afraid of the identity of Prince Xuanyuan Changxu. However, she did not say anything, and just pretended to be dissatisfied and said: "Grandfather, I don't think he is such a heartless person. He would not really have such thoughts.
If I really misjudged him, and he really dared to think that, then the worst that can happen is that next time he comes to our house, we can just beat him out with a big broom and stop having any contact with him."
"Haha, okay, let's do as you say. Grandfather, this is just a bad idea."
Old Master Kuang was amused by Mu Qingyin's childish words and stroked his beard and laughed. While laughing, he suddenly felt that he was really old. He seemed to be getting a little confused and timid, and hesitating about everything.
He thought to himself that this was not going to work. It seemed that after returning to the upper kingdom, it was time for him to put aside everything in the family, go to a secret place to concentrate on cultivation, and completely hand over power to the younger generation.
Mu Qingyin didn't know what Old Master Kuang was thinking privately. After she persuaded him to give up his previous idea, she breathed a sigh of relief and went to Old Madam Kuang's Shou'an Residence.
In Shou'anju, Mu Qingyin was welcomed unprecedentedly. She was surrounded and asked about what she and Xuanyuan Changxu had seen in the secret realm.
What kind of things could I see and hear in Xuanyuan Changxu's secret realm? Most of what I saw and heard could not be told.
In desperation, Mu Qingyin could only combine her previous encounters with monsters in the depths of the Wuya Forest and her fights with them, as well as all the things she had seen in the space library over the years about the secret realms of the cultivation world, and then use them to deal with the problem.
Having read more jade slips and more about the experiences of cultivators, Mu Qingyin's "stories" were very vivid and interesting, and everyone, including her grandmother, Madam Kuang, was fascinated.
Before they knew it, everyone was excited, nervous, and listened attentively, not even willing to blink.
Not to mention Mu Qingyin's story, not only did it stir up huge waves in the hearts of the younger generation of the Kuang family, stimulating them to practice harder; even Old Madam Kuang, Kuang Guya and others were moved and excited again, and they paid more attention to their daily practice and worked harder.
It is said that the Kuang family had prepared everything, and they chose an auspicious day and finally set off for Beixu in the upper country.
The news that the Kuang family was going to return to the upper kingdom was not hidden from anyone. Early in the morning of this day, just as the Kuang family's motorcade had just left the city, they saw the Great Zhao Emperor condescending himself to personally lead the empress and hundreds of officials to the city gate to escort the Kuang family.
The emperor came in person to see her off, so the Kuang family should give her some face. The emperor had Old Master Kuang and the male members of the Kuang family to greet him; the empress had Old Madam Kuang and the female relatives get off the carriage to greet her.
As soon as he saw Old Master Kuang, the Emperor of Dazhao stepped forward and said, "I am reluctant to let the Duke of Protectorate go." As if he was moved, tears flowed down his face, and he held Old Master Kuang's hand tightly, as if he was reluctant to let go.
"Your Majesty, I am reluctant to leave. However, returning to my father's country is his last wish. I cannot disregard the wishes of my ancestors and be an unfilial son."
The emperor of Dazhao acted like this, and Old Master Kuang had no choice but to wipe his eyes with his sleeves, and said with a choked voice: "However, no matter where I and my descendants are, we will never forget that Dazhao is my homeland. It is the ancestral land and origin of the Kuang family."
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 296 The Origin of the Title
"It is said that people go to higher places and water flows to lower places. It is really unfair for the Protectorate family to stay in the remote place of Dazhao. Besides, the Protectorate just saved my life, and I cannot stop the Protectorate from fulfilling the wishes of my ancestors."
He then raised his sleeve to wipe his eyes. The Emperor of Dazhao waved his hand, and an attendant came over and knelt, holding up a tray that was half covered with yellow silk and the other half held two glasses of wine, and brought it to him.
The Emperor of Dazhao lifted the yellow silk, revealing an exquisite box made of pure gold underneath.
He took the box and opened it, showing the gold notes filled inside to Old Master Kuang, then closed the box and handed it over: "This is a small gift from me.
From now on, even if the Duke of the Protectorate is in the Upper Kingdom, he will still be the Duke of the Protectorate of Dazhao. From now on, I will not forget to have someone convert the Duke of the Protectorate's annual salary into silver and send it to the Upper Kingdom."
As he spoke, he handed the golden box to Old Master Kuang, took a glass of wine from the tray and handed it to him, and then he took another glass of wine and toasted to Old Master Kuang: "It is a long journey to Dazhao, I wish the Protector of the Country a smooth journey."
As he said this, he drank the wine in one gulp.
Old Master Kuang handed the golden box in his hand to Kuang Zhihai who was standing beside him, and then drank the cup of wine and said proudly: "Your Majesty, rest assured that I will never forget my homeland when I go. If Your Majesty needs me in the future, I will not refuse as long as I can do it."
"Okay, okay, okay!"
The emperor of Dazhao was overjoyed. What he actually wanted was just this promise from Old Master Kuang. Naturally, he was beaming with joy when his goal was achieved.
After escorting the large number of troops for more than ten miles, the Emperor of Dazhao finally stopped and stopped seeing them off.
Bidding farewell to the emperor, empress and officials of Dazhao, Old Master Kuang wiped his sweat and could not help but say, "This play is even more uncomfortable than taking a medicinal bath."
"Dad, why did you promise him that you would not refuse to help him in the future?"
Kuang Zhihong couldn't help asking, "Aren't you afraid that the Emperor of Dazhao will really take your words as a token of authority and have his people come after us at any time?"
"Third brother, you didn't hear what Dad promised, but he came to look for it personally, and he would never shirk anything he could do."
Seeing that Old Master Kuang had glared, Kuang Zhihai took the lead and explained to Kuang Zhihong with a smile, "Da Zhao and Shangguo are thousands of miles apart, and the emperor of Da Zhao is already very old.
Moreover, he had just experienced a rebellion forced by his own son, Prince Yin, and was almost murdered in his bedroom by his own son.
You said that even if he had the physical strength to travel thousands of miles to the upper country to find our father to fulfill his promise. If he dared to leave easily, wouldn't he be afraid that another son would take the opportunity to usurp the throne?"
Kuang Zhihai thought of the previous rebellion by Prince Yin. He had waited patiently until Prince Yin and his men made a smooth journey to the bedroom of Emperor Dazhao.
King Zaiyin put his sword to the neck of Emperor Dazhao, who was so scared that he pissed himself to death. Only then did they appear "in time" to "protect the emperor".
The Emperor Dazhao had never expected that at the last moment he would be able to turn defeat into victory. While celebrating his own survival, he personally killed the King Yin, who had failed at the last moment and had gone mad because he refused to accept the unexpected change.
Not only that, he also immediately issued an order to execute everyone in Prince Yin's mansion, from the princess to the Song sisters who had just entered the mansion and were favored for a few days. In the end, he also allowed the Kuang family to obtain the hereditary title of Duke of the Protectorate.

Chapter 297: Ginger is still spicy with age
Kuang Zhihai still finds it funny when he thinks about that drama that was completely controlled by the Kuang family.
Later, the Kuang family obtained the title of Duke of Dazhao, but this did not make Kuang Zhihai very happy, let alone excited.
Ever since there were more and more high-level warriors in the family, especially his father and his three brothers, who were now high-level warriors of great perfection and only one step away from entering the innate realm, Kuang Zhihai began to care little about those titles.
The original rule of Qingcang Continent was that high-level warriors could meet the emperors of various countries, including the upper country, without bowing or kneeling. High-level warriors who reached the Great Perfection were rare in any country, including the upper country, and they could only be looked up to.
All countries, even the superior countries, are no exception and treat high-level and perfect warriors with great courtesy.
The emperor of Dazhao knew that the father and son of the Kuang family were all high-level martial artists, and even if they had not performed the merit of protecting the emperor, they could still be conferred the title of Duke. Even without the merit of protecting the emperor, he would still not be able to win them over.
Kuang Zhihai thought so in his heart, but he continued to smile and said: "Besides, even if he really gave up everything and traveled across mountains and rivers to Shangguo to find our father, didn't you hear that father said he would not refuse because he 'can do it'?"
"So if the emperor of Dazhao doesn't take my father's promise seriously, then that's fine. But if he does, he'd be a fool, right?"
After hearing Kuang Zhihai's explanation, Kuang Zhihong suddenly laughed in enlightenment, and looked at Old Master Kuang with some admiration and had to admit: "Ginger is indeed more experienced with age."
"You are so stupid that you didn't even understand such a simple meaning."
Old Master Kuang rolled his eyes at Kuang Zhihong, then looked at Kuang Zhihai with a kind expression: "Now you have gained some experience.
After all these years, I have grown old, and I have finally fulfilled your grandfather's last wish, so it's time to take a break. So from now on, this family will be completely handed over to you. When we return to the upper country and everything is settled, your mother and I will go to Midi for a walk."
Thinking of the secret place in the Endless Forest, Old Master Kuang's eyes showed longing.
"Dad, you are not old yet."
When Kuang Zhihai heard that Old Master Kuang was going to let go completely and that he would have to make all decisions on family matters, no matter how big or small, he couldn't help but feel panicked.
He subconsciously wanted to persuade him to change his mind, but before he could even say anything, Old Master Kuang glared at him and asked with great dissatisfaction, "What? I've been busy for most of my life, and you still can't bear to see me idle even though I'm so old?"
"no."
Kuang Zhihai shuddered for a moment, forced a smile and changed his words: "That's not what I meant. What I meant was, if Dad wants to go to Midi to have a look, then go ahead. There is a son at home."
He really wanted to go and see Mi Di, even in his dreams.
But he had a father by his side to help him run the family, and he was already busy with too many family affairs to handle. Now even his father was going to quit, so when would he be able to put down this heavy burden and go for a walk?
Kuang Zhihai's face suddenly drooped and he felt like crying.
"Isn't it easy for you to relax earlier? I have a son to order you around, don't you?" Unable to bear Kuang Zhihai's depressed look, Old Master Kuang said this in a bad mood.
Yes, how could he forget about his eldest son, Kuang Jinming? His father had been ordering him around a long time ago, so isn't it only natural for him to order his son around now?
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 298 Ending 1
Kuang Zhihai's spirits lifted, and he couldn't help but look at his eldest son, Kuang Jinming, and then nodded.
His eldest son was indeed not young anymore, he had already started a family and even had a son. He was also trained to be an heir since he was young, and he had handled quite a few tasks over the years, so he could be considered capable of taking charge.
It's not impossible for me to give him more tasks in the future. He still has two younger brothers, his other sons, and several nephews. Even if dad quits, he still has a lot of people to use.
After realizing this, Kuang Zhihai's face suddenly brightened up, and he nodded and smiled, "You are right."
As the father and son were talking, the leader of the guards came over and reported, "Old Master, Patriarch, Mu Heng from the Mu family wants to see you."
"Mu Heng? What is he doing here? We asked the Emperor of Dazhao to pardon him and spare his life. Does he think that he can cling to our Kuang family just because of this?"
Old Master Kuang said to the leader of the guards in a bad mood: "Go tell him that rebellion is a serious crime that will lead to the extermination of nine clans. We have eliminated this serious crime for his Mu clan, not for him but for Qingyin and Jingyan.
Now Qingyin and Jingyan no longer owe him anything. Tell him not to dream of using his birthright to control them. Tell him that everyone should go their separate ways from now on, and don't come again, or else don't blame the Kuang family for taking action against him."
"yes."
The leader of the guards received the order and was about to leave, but just as he turned around, Old Master Kuang called him back, "Wait, give this to him. Tell him this is the last kindness our Kuang family, Qingyin, and Jingyan can show him."
He took out a wax-sealed letter from his sleeve, or in fact, from his Qiankun Ring, and handed it to the guard leader. Old Master Kuang smiled strangely, "Tell him that if he doesn't want to lose face and wants to save his life, then he should look away from people."
"Yes." The guard leader responded again, took the not-thin letter and left quickly.
"Dad, wouldn't it be bad if we didn't tell Qingyin and Jingyan that Mu Heng was looking for us?"
Seeing the leader of the guards walking away without a trace, Kuang Zhihai knew what was in the letter his father had given out without having to guess. He guessed what Mu Heng's reaction would be after reading the letter, and smiled secretly before asking.
"I guessed it long ago. Once they knew we were going to return to the upper kingdom, even if Mu Heng had lost his title, he would still be a commoner and would want to follow us.
Even if he is still waiting for the opportunity to cross the river, he may not be tempted and not want to follow us. So I mentioned this to Qingyin and Jingyan before.
What they both meant was that he was the one who was heartless first. We did our best by not standing by and watching him in trouble, and by not letting him be dragged to the market and beheaded along with the remnants of the Tongyin King. "
With a slight smile, Old Master Kuang said, "So at that time, both of them took out 10,000 taels of silver each, saying that the silver was their last act of filial piety. Now I have also put the silver note in the letter, and the matter is settled here."
"That's good."
Kuang Zhihai, who had been a little worried that Mu Heng had fallen on hard times, would feel sympathy and pity for him and easily forgive him and accept him again. Upon hearing this, he was finally completely relieved.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 299 Ending 2
"What are you worried about?"
Old Master Kuang chuckled and said, "Your sister has been separated for many years. During these years, when Mu Heng was enjoying great success with Prince Yin, he never paid any attention to Qingyin and Jingyan.
Even when Jing Yan broke off the engagement with the Prince of Anguo, he played dumb and didn't even pretend to send anyone to ask a question.
Now that he's down and out, he's actually thinking of his two daughters? Haha, does he really think Qingyin and Jingyan can put aside their past grudges and have a deep father-daughter relationship with him? "
"That's true. Even if they're divorced and the child is no longer in the family tree of his Mu family, blood ties cannot be easily severed. Most people can't be so cold and indifferent to their own flesh and blood."
Kuang Zhihai said with emotion: "Although we said that Qingyin and Jingyan would have no relationship with the Mu family in the future, we never stopped the Mu family from passing the news to Qingyin and Jingyan. It's good that he paid a little attention to them when he needed them. No wonder they were disappointed in him."
"What disappointment? When did Qingyin and Jingyan ever count on him?"
Old Master Kuang snorted, "Well, don't mention him. He deserves what he has today. We have been very kind to him.
Look, Qingyin and Jingyan gave him 20,000 taels of silver at the end. If he can make good use of the 20,000 taels, his life won't be too bad in the future. If not, he won't be able to blame anyone."
That's what I said.
Kuang Zhihai nodded silently, and seeing that Old Master Kuang didn't like to mention Mu Heng anymore, he immediately changed the subject. On the other side, he received the letter handed over by the guard leader, and listened to his cold words. Mu Heng's face flushed, and he stood there with hatred and fear.
Watching the Kuang family's convoy going further and further away, he clenched his hands tightly and finally a look of regret appeared on his face.
If he had known this day would come, if he had known that the Kuang family would one day return to the upper country, he would never have treated Kuang Guya like that. He would not have separated from her, let alone parted with her.
If he had known earlier that Prince Yin had no ability to ascend the throne, he would not have risked the lives and property of the entire Mu family and worked hard for him in the hope of becoming the emperor's successor.
But it's too late to say this now.
The title inherited by the Mu family was gone. Even though the Kuang family helped him to escape the crime of treason and saved their entire family from being dragged to the vegetable market to be beheaded, the entire family was unable to take the imperial examinations for ten generations.
As a result, the tribe members who had escaped the disaster regarded him as an enemy. They forcibly confiscated most of his property and expelled his entire family from the tribe.
Mu Heng felt cold all over. He knew that his clansmen had not killed him and had left him some property because of the Kuang family.
Considering that he still has two daughters in the Kuang family, even though they have severed ties with him, they will not watch him fall into such a state of desolation.
They didn't dare to bet whether they still had father-daughter feelings for them.
But now the Kuang family has left Dazhao and gone to Shangguo. Dazhao is thousands of miles away from Shangguo, and his two daughters have left without even sending anyone to say goodbye to him before leaving.
He didn't think too much. Their ruthlessness towards him must have been seen by someone with ulterior motives. He was afraid that if they left today, there would be no place for his family in Dazhao tomorrow.
He is afraid that he can no longer keep the few properties he has left.

Chapter 300 Regret
Mu Heng's grip became tighter and tighter, and until the Kuang family's convoy finally disappeared from view, he finally looked down at the letter in his hand with reluctance, hatred and fear.
Recalling the message from the guard leader, saying that Old Master Kuang asked him to watch when no one was around, Mu Heng looked around and finally found a secluded place out of concern.
"Ah, ah, ah—"
After reading the letter, Mu Heng screamed wildly and kicked and hit everything in his sight like a madman. Fortunately, the place he found was secluded enough, and when he finished his madness and made himself look so miserable, no one came.
After a crazy outburst, Mu Heng finally slowly controlled himself and stopped losing his composure.
But he couldn't help but take out the letter from his arms again and read it carefully word by word. He cried and laughed while reading it. After repeating it several times, he finally calmed down and a look of regret appeared on his face.
That expression instantly changed into a cold, sinister smile.
Ten days later.
While the Kuang family was marching, Kuang Zhihai received a piece of information. After reading it, he couldn't help but twitch his lips, and took the information to Old Master Kuang.
"Mu Heng is really ruthless."
After reading the intelligence, Old Master Kuang laughed and said, "First, he quietly used his family property to exchange for the Ten Thousand Ants Gnawing Heart, and then quietly drugged Mu Yong, Concubine Song, and Mu Jinghe, and made them eat the Ten Thousand Ants Gnawing Heart.
Then he broke the limbs of the three of them, destroyed their Dantian and threw them directly into the street, and fled to another country alone. This move of his cut off all the escape routes for those three people. "
"No matter how cruel it is, weren't they forced to do it by themselves?"
Kuang Zhihai also laughed: "Those three are just asking for trouble. No matter what grudge Mu Yong has with Mu Heng, he can take revenge if he wants. Why should he involve our little sister and Qingyin?
And Concubine Song is even more so, haha, when she treated our Qingyin like that, didn't she think that she would end up like this? As for Mu Jinghe, that ungrateful wolf, let's not talk about him. Anyway, it all comes down to one thing, the three of them deserved it. "
"They got what they wanted, so there's really nothing to complain about."
Old Master Kuang smiled, stroked his beard and nodded, "Since they asked for it, they can only bear it themselves. Let them enjoy it for a few more years, and let someone keep an eye on them so that they don't get rid of it too easily."
"Don't worry, I'll send the order by carrier pigeon right away."
Kuang Zhihai immediately responded: "Anyway, the ants biting your heart won't kill you. At most, you'll just feel pain for three to five hours a day. We don't need to worry about it.
We just need to have someone watch them and make sure they don't starve or freeze to death, or that they get so upset that they kill themselves."
"That's right. Someone is watching them and letting them live for a long time. Even ants try to survive, let alone these living people. It is said that saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. These are three lives."
Old Master Kuang laughed out loud: "It is better to live a miserable life than to die a good death. I think they themselves are reluctant to die."
"What about Mu Heng? Do we need to keep someone watching him?" Kuang Zhihai asked while nodding.
"No need, just withdraw the man. There's no need to waste money and effort on him anymore."
Old Master Kuang snorted coldly: "It is indeed difficult for us to deal with him. No matter what, it will make things difficult for Qingyin and Jingyan. In this case, let's stop here. We don't need to care about his life or death in the future."
"Okay." Old Master Kuang's words were exactly what Kuang Zhihai wanted, and he immediately nodded in agreement.
