Chapter 12 The assessment beginsAs the first rays of morning light passed across the sky, the atmosphere in Mujiazhuang began to gradually become lively. Following Mu Yun and Mu Lingsha to the entrance of the test hall, Mu Zi was a little surprised when he saw the crowded scene. "Why are there so many people?" Mu Lingsha explained, "After all, it's an annual assessment, so of course it's lively." On weekdays, most members of Mujiazhuang are busy making a living, and sometimes they have to disperse to different places to perform different tasks. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the people in the village can get together. Unless they are particularly loners, they will at least come to be spectators. As the three of them walked through the door, the liveliness inside became even greater. The person sitting in the first seat was a man in a white robe. However, the strong muscles on his body made the white robe look bloated. Mu Zi was a little surprised: "Even the owner of the manor is here?" The sturdy man in white robe was none other than Mu Tao, the only Tianyuan realm expert in the family.
At this moment, he looked at the warm atmosphere in the trial hall and nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that the cohesion of Mujiazhuang was getting stronger and stronger. Seeing Mu Yun's family coming, Mu Tao nodded at the three of them, trying hard to appear elegant and easy-going. However, considering his white robe that was about to be torn, this posture was extremely strange. Mu Yun was no longer surprised by his own manor owner's actions. Ever since Mu Tao met the Lord of Yancheng once and was impressed by his elegant demeanor and powerful strength, he began to deliberately imitate him. Leading the two sisters to the main seat in the hall, Mu Yun received respectful greetings from clan members from time to time, and he responded politely. Suddenly a hearty voice came: "Haha, Brother Mu Yun, you're here too!" Mu Zi looked in the direction of the sound and saw a burly man with a face full of flesh happily standing up from the main seat. "Haha, brother Mu Tian, aren't you here to join in the fun?" The burly man who greeted her was none other than Mu Tian, whom Mu Zi had met before in the martial arts hall. Mu Tian was still enthusiastic: "I can only join in the fun, but you are different, brother. Lingsha received a medium-excellent evaluation in last year's assessment, breaking the record of Mujiazhuang. We are so envious of you for having such an outstanding junior!" Mu Yun appeared modest on the surface, but his heart was filled with joy when he heard his old friend praising his daughter. After a while, someone else walked towards the main seat. She was an old woman, followed by a young man, about sixteen or seventeen years old. Seeing the old woman, Mu Yun and the other man quickly stood up to greet her, and even the owner of the manor, Mu Tao, stood up. Seeing this scene, Mu Zi was a little surprised and asked, "Who is this mother-in-law?" Mu Lingsha replied in a low voice: "I'm not sure either, but I heard from my father that the other party is an old man from Mujiazhuang, a generation older than the owner of the manor and my father." After a pause, she added: "By the way, this mother-in-law's cultivation is in the late Earthly Realm." Mu Zi understood. There were three people in the late Earth Yuan Realm in Mu Family Village. Before, she only knew Mu Yun and Mu Tian. Today, she finally met the last one. "How could a small family assessment alarm you?" Mu Yun was very surprised. The old woman smiled gently, looked at the young man beside her, and said with a smile: "Ye'er has made great progress in his cultivation, so I brought him here to see the world."
"Oh?" Hearing this, everyone looked at the young man following the old woman. Mu Yun had some impression of this young man. He was an orphan adopted by the old woman a few years ago. The old woman was of a high generation, and her fighting power had declined due to her age, so she did not manage specific family affairs. However, everyone present knew that she was the widow of the first generation owner of the manor, and she had founded Mujia Manor with him decades ago. It can be said that without the old woman, there would be no Mujia Manor. Therefore, even though the old woman can no longer practice, the clan will still leave her some training resources over the years. These resources were probably used by her to train promising younger generations. Therefore, the sixteen-year-old youth in front of her might be quite capable. "Mu Ye, come and meet your uncle!" the old woman ordered. The young man named Mu Ye walked up to the two men and bowed: "Hello, two uncles!" His demeanor was quite respectable. Nodding, the two of them commented: "It's true that heroes emerge from youth!" The old woman smiled and said: "No one can compare to Lingsha's granddaughter. Lingsha won the Fire Python Tiger for my Mu Family Manor, and I would like to thank her here." Mu Lingsha waved her hands repeatedly: "The owner of the manor has already given me a reward." The old woman nodded and turned her gaze to Mu Zi beside her with an admiring look in her eyes. "Nephew Mu Yun, your adopted daughter is so pretty." Mu Yun was about to thank her when he heard the old woman say, "Ye'er met your daughter half a year ago and fell in love with her at first sight. Since then, she has lost her appetite and is deeply in love with you." "I wonder if I can make the decision and propose a marriage to you on behalf of Ye'er?" Mu Zi, who was feeling a little bored, was dumbfounded when she heard this and pointed at herself uncertainly. "I?" The old woman nodded again. Mu Yun's face changed and he declined, "Zi'er is still young, isn't this inappropriate?" The old woman smiled and said, "Haha, Ye'er is a good man. Why don't you ask the young man what he thinks?" "I don't agree!" Mu Zi refused immediately. Are you kidding me? How could she possibly accept this? What kind of trick is this? "As a reincarnator, I was arranged into a marriage"? Originally, Mu Zi had a good impression of this family elder, but at this moment, all of it disappeared. Turning around, Mu Zi glared at Mu Ye. How dare this well-dressed guy to hit on her? Being glared at by Mu Zi, Mu Ye felt a little embarrassed at the moment, and pulled the old woman's sleeve: "Mother-in-law, why don't you just forget it!" After taking a deep look at the young man, the old woman slowly said, "Don't rush to refuse. After the assessment is over, you will have a different opinion of Ye'er." Want to demonstrate your strength through the test and make me surrender? Mu Zi's eyes narrowed slightly. Haha, I'm afraid you have the wrong idea! Mu Zi calmed down and looked at the young man who was peeking at her from time to time, and suddenly she felt a sense of evil interest. "Then please let me see it clearly later, Brother Ye!" She suddenly smiled at Mu Ye. For a moment, it was like a hundred flowers blooming, making people intoxicated.
Mu Ye was a little stunned. He had always lived in seclusion, so how could he have seen such a bright smile? Especially the girl had a pair of smart eyes, which made him unable to extricate himself and stared at her intently. Mu Zi seemed frightened by his unscrupulous look and suddenly hid behind Mu Lingsha. Suddenly coming back to his senses, Mu Ye was very embarrassed. Being stared at by Mu Zi as if she were a pervert, he wished he could find a hole to crawl into. He opened his mouth to explain, but couldn't say a word. He had always lived in seclusion and lacked experience in communicating with others. Helplessly, he had to hide behind the old woman, lowering his head and not daring to look at Mu Zi. "Pfft!" Seeing him like this, Mu Zi almost laughed out loud. She curled her lips secretly and said, "Little brat!" The atmosphere at the main seat was a bit solemn, which affected everyone in the hall. The heated atmosphere that had been going on for a while began to cool down. As everyone took their seats, the Trial Hall gradually became quiet. All eyes were fixed on Mu Tao who was in the first place. Mu Tao slowly put down the teacup in his hand, stood up and announced: "The family assessment has officially begun!" For a moment, the atmosphere at the scene became boiling. Mu Zi glanced at Mu Ye who was eager to try. "Haha, let me see what your confidence is." "I will play with you. I hope you are not too weak and boring me." She is very vindictive. Please read the new book!
