Chapter 770: The Tide of Fortune, Plans in Place
Chapter 770: The Tide of Fortune, Plans in Place
The next morning, Wang Kui returned with a sullen expression to search for Qin Muye. He had definitely lost Fan Hua, having already lost him by evening. The rest of the time was spent searching, but he returned empty-handed.
To him, this was a bad omen.
However, at least there was still Qin Muye, so it wasn't a total loss. He needed to figure out the situation.
"Back already? Didn't catch him, huh?" Qin Muye slowly ate his breakfast, showing no signs of urgency.
"Mr. Qin, you're not worried?" Wang Kui was a bit surprised. Qin Muye had previously said he would benefit from Fan Hua, but now that Fan Hua was lost, why was he so calm?
"Why should I be worried? Sit down and have some porridge to calm your nerves. As they say, only porridge can ease one's worries." Qin Muye was completely relaxed, as if nothing had happened.
Seeing this, Wang Kui's expression changed. "Is this part of your plan?"
"Ah, yes, you're right." Qin Muye acted as if it didn't matter what plan or no plan, this was all due to Fan Hua's overuse of his protagonist's aura.
He was probably already entangled by now.
Wang Kui didn't catch Qin Muye's sarcastic tone and sat down to have porridge with him. "The person who kidnapped Fan Hua is the Third Lady. She is the only one in the Mu family with such a high level of wind cultivation."
"Really think I can't tell? Xian Immortal strength, a woman specializing in wind cultivation, and quite familiar with me. Who else could it be?"
Although Wang Kui didn't know Qin Muye's plan, he shared what he knew.
"So, the person who kidnapped Fan Hua is actually Mu Heng's wife, whom we tricked to her death?" Qin Muye was taken aback. This was getting a bit out of hand.
"Yes, that's right. If it were someone from another branch, there might still be a chance for Fan Hua to survive, but with the Third Lady... ." Wang Kui, not knowing the full story, was worried. He thought Fan Hua was meant to be a trap for the Third Branch.
"Alright, the Third Branch is taken care of. We can wait for good news from Fan Hua." Qin Muye said matter-of-factly.
"???" Wang Kui was confused. How was it taken care of when Fan Hua was almost gone and they were waiting for good news?
He didn't believe that a mere Mortal Realm person like Fan Hua could escape from a Xian Immortal, especially one who wanted to kill him.
"What should we do then?" Wang Kui asked, not knowing what to do next.
"What should we do? Simple, head south to the Mu family. The Third Lady doesn't have any heirs, right?" Qin Muye asked.
"She has two daughters, who have taken in sons-in-law. Mu family women rarely marry out; they mostly take in sons-in-law." Wang Kui didn't hide this information.
"..." Qin Muye felt the situation was getting out of control.
If it were before, Fan Hua might have been able to handle it, but now his protagonist's aura was severely overused, and something big was about to happen.
If he hadn't picked up so many opportunities, he would have been fine, but seeing Qin Muye do it, he neglected himself.
This led to the overuse, and now he had to pay the price.
If the Mu family really took control, he would be at their mercy.
Qin Muye could already imagine the scene: "Madam, your pretty boy is really useful," a classic NTR scenario.
"Cough, how many branches does the Mu family have?" Qin Muye changed the subject, preparing to estimate the dosage for Fan Hua.
"The Mu family has three branches. The First Branch is our lady, the Second Branch is controlled by the Second Master. If we talk about who is most likely to take over the Mu family, it would be the Second Master. The Third Master is already dead, so there's no point in mentioning him. Now, it seems the Third Lady has taken control."
"As for the other branches, they don't have the strength to matter."
Wang Kui briefly explained the internal situation of the Mu family.
Qin Muye's head was starting to hurt. This was a plus version of a household struggle.
Basically, it was the eldest sister, the second brother, and the third brother fighting over the family inheritance.
"Hmm, so the previous head of the family was a son-in-law?" Qin Muye suddenly realized something.
Wang Kui referred to the family's women as "ladies" and the ones who married in as "ladies."
Of course, in the Spirit Cultivation world, the status of a son-in-law wasn't much worse. After all, it was a world of extraordinary beings, and once someone became a Spirit Cultivator, men and women were equal.
"Yes, but no one in the Mu family has any objections. He was a Da Luo Jin Xian, and no one dares to mention it."
Wang Kui didn't hold back. "The person is dead, why can't we mention it?"
Qin Muye thought about it and realized that he was already relying on Wang Kui's support, so he couldn't afford to be too picky. "That makes sense."
The lady in question must have had her own means, combined with her own strength, to control the entire Mu family. Qin Muye even suspected that during that period, the Mu family might not have been surnamed Mu anymore.
Unfortunately, they encountered someone even stronger, leading to the decline of the Mu family.
"Who is the strongest in the Mu family?" Qin Muye asked.
"Of course, it's the lady. She is already at the peak of the Golden Immortal realm, just a step away from becoming a Great Luo Golden Immortal." Wang Kui's eyes sparkled as he spoke.
"So, if your lady used force, she could control the Mu family?" Qin Muye thought that having the strength to directly resolve the issue would be better than playing games, which would only put them at a disadvantage.
Wang Kui gave a bitter smile, clearly indicating that this wasn't a viable option. "The Second Master is also a Golden Immortal, though he is just at the initial stage. The lady can't take him down immediately."
"Oh, so there are checks and balances. You should have mentioned this earlier." Qin Muye suddenly felt something was off.
"Whoa~ Your lady and Fan Hua???"
At this moment, Qin Muye realized that Fan Hua had directly connected with the head lady of the Mu family, the widow. Initially, Qin Muye thought Fan Hua was involved with some Mu family woman, but this was a significant leap.
"Cough, Mr. Qin, please be careful with your words." Wang Kui didn't deny it but asked Qin Muye to lower his voice.
Qin Muye fell silent, realizing just how powerful the protagonist's aura could be.
"I suspect if we had returned a few days later, Fan Hua might have already resolved the Mu family's issues." Qin Muye's expression was one of disbelief.
If he could handle a peak Golden Immortal, dealing with the rest of the Mu family would be no problem.
By then, he would have secured half the initiative, allowing him to challenge the Mu family head-on.
No one could resist the "Yellow Feather Hat Technique."
Qin Muye never imagined that the protagonist's aura he casually bestowed would have such a terrifying effect.
Well, perhaps the original him never thought about it, treating it as a trivial move, even the content was whimsically fabricated for fun.
But it had indeed sent data back to the original, who would now enjoy a life of luxury. However, he never expected Fan Hua to take it to such an extreme.
"Fan Hua can do it?" Wang Kui's expression changed slightly. In his eyes, Fan Hua was just a somewhat capable pretty boy, or rather, not even a pretty boy, as he was quite average in appearance.
"He can; he has the ability." Qin Muye sighed. "But it might cause a lot of chaos."
He wanted to say it might cause marital discord, but that would lower his dignity. Using such means wouldn't be honorable.
"Mr. Qin, you seem to have a plan." Wang Kui's expression eased, seeing this as good news.
First, Fan Hua wouldn't die, and he could give an account. Second, the issue would be resolved, and the Mu family would soon return to peace.
If Qin Muye knew Wang Kui's thoughts, he would have said that resolving the issue didn't mean the Mu family would be peaceful, and things might get even worse later.
As for Fan Hua, Qin Muye didn't think it was something he could solve.
"It's not that I have a plan, but I have confidence in Fan Hua." Qin Muye admitted that if the protagonist's aura hadn't been overused, he might not have this confidence, but now he was bursting with it.
"Let's wait here for a few days before returning. We agreed that when your lady takes control, you will fulfill my request." Qin Muye said.
"Of course, with Master Fan as a guarantor. But why wait?" Wang Kui was puzzled.
"Returning now would mean facing a bloodbath, and there might be casualties." Qin Muye said seriously, but in the future, it would only require Fan Hua to bear the brunt of the chaos.
Wang Kui couldn't help but respect Qin Muye. He knew internal strife was dangerous, but he didn't realize it was this dangerous. For Fan Hua to be able to resolve it, he must have great abilities.
