Chapter 772: Green Pine and Sangzi, Another Round of Deception

In the Green Pine Residence, Qin Muye was lying down again, a scene that made Wang Kui somewhat helpless.

If he hadn't seen Fan Hua truly quell the internal strife of the Mu family, he would have thought Qin Muye was a fraud.

"What else do you need?" Qin Muye noticed that Wang Kui seemed hesitant to speak.

"Sir, can you possibly predict—"

"No." Qin Muye didn't wait for Wang Kui to finish his sentence before rejecting it. Of course, that was no surprise; he relied on the protagonist's aura, not real skills.

Even without him, Fan Hua could have resolved the issue upon returning, though they just didn't know it.

Seeing Qin Muye refuse so decisively, Wang Kui could only sigh. "Since that's the case, I won't disturb your rest, Sir."

What else could he do? Such matters couldn't be forced.

After saying this, Wang Kui naturally left, but the Green Pine Residence still had servants waiting around. After all, they were a large family with plenty of resources and people, which was quite normal.

"I hope it lasts for three days. I'll take what I need and leave." Qin Muye had a good sense of how much trouble his protagonist aura could cause.

After all, it was a product of his true self; to say it wouldn't cause trouble would be a lie.

Just as he was thinking this, he heard a commotion outside, as if someone was trying to enter but was being stopped by the servants.

However, the servants didn't seem to hold them back for long, and the voices grew closer.

The visitor was a young man, not much older than seventeen or eighteen.

"Are you that Qin Sir?" The young man pushed open the door and sized up Qin Muye, his demeanor quite unfriendly.

"Ah, you must have the wrong person." Qin Muye naturally denied it right away.

"???" The young man was taken aback, the wrong person?

In his experience, people usually didn't deny it, so he quickly added, "Sorry, I must have the wrong person. Do you know—"

"That doesn't make sense. Didn't you say he was in the Green Pine Residence?"

He quickly realized something was off. Qin Muye denied it, but the information was correct, so one of them must be wrong.

Hence, he hesitated.

"Oh, there was indeed someone in the Green Pine Residence just now, but they seem to have run off early, saying they left to enjoy themselves. It turns out they were just using me as a scapegoat." Qin Muye lied with a straight face.

"That person is truly despicable." The young man believed him.

Qin Muye was amazed; how could he believe that? Was his brain wired backward?

Oh, maybe he was just too naive.

"By the way, what did that person do to offend you? To come at you with such hostility." Qin Muye poured him a cup of tea and gestured for him to sit down and talk.

"Ah, it's a long story. My entire Mu family has been thrown into chaos by this person, using such despicable means to sabotage us." The young man sat down and began to vent his frustrations.

It was all because of what Fan Hua had done. If Fan Hua had been powerful, with the strength of a Dharma Golden Immortal, it would have been understandable. But he wasn't; he was just a Mortal Realm cultivator. While he had eliminated internal strife, the household was still in turmoil.

The young man's name was Mu Sang, the eldest son of the main branch of the Mu family, and he was the one who would inherit the Mu family.

In other words, he now had a father around his age.

Of course, having an additional father didn't bother him much; it was just a remarriage, and the age difference was acceptable. This wasn't an uncommon occurrence in the Great Spirit Dynasty.

The only problem was that Fan Hua also had relationships with the widows of the other two branches, using this to consolidate control over the Mu family.

"Tell me, was this Qin person's method despicable!" Mu Sang recounted the events of the past month in a straightforward manner, his indignation clear. He wanted the main branch to be in power, but not through such means.

Later, he learned that it was someone's scheme, which is why he came here with such hostility.

"Cough, the process may be dishonorable, but the goal was achieved. In a couple of years, things should be fine." Qin Muye was exasperated; this had nothing to do with him, but it was indeed his fault. Although Fan Hua caused the trouble, he had the ability to do so thanks to the protagonist's aura given by his true self.

"Ah, things have come to this, what can be done?" Mu Sang's voice carried a note of helplessness.

"There are ways to solve this. You can take control directly, and then lock all the relevant people in the inner chambers. Let them do what they want, as long as you keep this matter under wraps, there won't be any major issues."

Qin Muye spoke off the top of his head, after all, he wasn't the one doing the work. He just had to be as convincing as possible.

Mu Sang was taken aback; he hadn't expected the other party to speak so bluntly. He had thought he would receive some comfort, but instead, he was directly encouraged to rebel.

"No, no, I haven't even reached the Immortal Realm. How can I do that?" He immediately refuted Qin Muye's words. Even though he found it tempting, he knew his limits. With his meager strength, even if he managed to rise to power, he wouldn't be able to manage the entire Mu family.

Strength was the top priority. If the other major families saw that they had pushed a Mortal Realm youth to the top, wouldn't they think the Mu family was in decline?

Therefore, it was impossible for him to succeed this way. To truly rise to power, he would need at least the strength of a Golden Immortal; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to command respect.

"This is where you're wrong. As the saying goes, it's not about age but about talent. If you have the ability, why should you be limited by your current strength?"

"If you can lead the Mu family to the peak of success, who would dare to question you? Look at that Fan Hua you mentioned. His strength is even lower than yours, yet he managed to resolve the Mu family's issues."

"Perhaps his methods were a bit despicable, but in many things, the result is more important than the process. Think about it, if the Mu family continues to fight for a hundred years, would it be able to withstand such internal strife?"

"Once it can't withstand it, the family will be destroyed. So don't focus on strength; focus on ability."

Qin Muye not only painted a grand picture for him but also used toxic encouragement, making Mu Sang feel somewhat dazed.

In the Mu family, Mu Sang was used to hearing flattery. When Qin Muye spoke with such encouraging and slightly manipulative words, Mu Sang felt his confidence rise a bit, though not excessively. He wasn't foolish; if he were to boldly seize the position of the Mu family's head, he might end up locked in the inner chambers himself.

"Ah~ Brother, your words have enlightened me." Mu Sang felt that this person, though unlucky to be caught as a scapegoat, was indeed capable.

He then said, "But the situation is just stabilizing, making it difficult to act."

"I want to eliminate that Fan Hua first, to root out the source!"

These words were spoken with such determination that Qin Muye even suspected if the main body had implanted a module of mockery in Fan Hua's protagonist aura.

But that shouldn't be the case; he hadn't encountered anything like that on his journey.

"Good, you have spirit. When you succeed, I will fetch a jug of wine to celebrate your victory. I have nothing much to offer, so don't be disappointed with my humble wine," Qin Muye encouraged him.

"If it's a celebration wine, even if it's murky, it will be sweeter than the finest vintage." Hearing Qin Muye's words, Mu Sang felt that Qin Muye was a sincere person.

However, Qin Muye felt that he had somewhat misled Mu Sang. He really thought that a bit of encouragement and confidence would be enough to succeed. How could that be possible?

More likely, he would be suppressed before he could even act.

But if he did succeed, it wouldn't be Qin Muye's problem. It wasn't as if he had done it; he had only given some minor suggestions.

The two chatted enthusiastically, and Qin Muye packaged many of his schemes as grand and noble, twisting them with various flawed logic.

These tactics made Mu Sang's blood boil, and he never imagined there were such ingenious strategies.

Just as they were enjoying their conversation, Wang Kui rushed over, sweating profusely. He had been reporting the events to Lady Mu and noticed her expression becoming increasingly serious.

Then he found out that Qin Muye was convincing Mu Sang to seize power and teaching him several despicable tactics. If these were used, it would indeed cause major problems.

So he hurried over to intervene, fearing that Mu Sang would be completely misled by Qin Muye.

"Sir, Lady Mu has summoned Young Master Sang for questioning. If you wish to continue your discussion, perhaps we can postpone it until tomorrow," Wang Kui said.

Mu Sang, who had felt like he had found a kindred spirit, froze, as if he had been dealt a significant blow.

"Since Lady Mu has matters to discuss, I won't keep Young Master Sang here any longer. Please go," Qin Muye said with a mocking tone.

"Young Master Sang, this way, please." When Wang Kui spoke to Mu Sang, he showed no emotion, seemingly disappointed with him.
