Human beings are in a state of deception, and immortality begins with the secret book of origami

"Ahem, we're checking. We've been checking."

"Carrying out an assassination operation in an area under our control is a provocation to us. The people from the Suppressing Demon Division have been taking action. However, the murderer is secretive and we need some time."

After being exposed by Mu Lin that he was ready to watch the fun, the heads and elders of the powerful families were a little embarrassed, and they all spoke up, telling them that it was not that they had done nothing.

Of course, the investigation is ongoing, but whether the mastermind behind the scenes can be found and to what extent, the heads of these powerful families have not said.

After hearing such perfunctory words, the head of the Yan family understood their thoughts.

He was not angry about this, nor did he persuade him. He just shrugged his shoulders and said:

"Just keep checking. I hope we can still make it in time."

"Huh? It's too late? What does this mean?"

"What's the point? Not only are we investigating the murderer, but the northern nobles have also been entrusted by Mu Lin to investigate this matter. If they find the murderer first and take revenge, Mu Lin will join the north and help them. And fighting is a sure thing.”

At this point, the head of the Yan family thought of something else and said with a smile: "By the way, in order to prevent us from making things difficult, I discussed it with Mu Lin. If we can't find the murderer or are unwilling to avenge him, he He will use the Lu family’s assassination as an excuse to leave and join the North.”

"This way, we won't be too involved."

"asshole!"

The words of the head of the Yan family made Lu Yangyao's expression darken completely.

He left because of being assassinated by the Lu family. If this kind of thing spreads, other wealthy families will indeed not be too involved.

But if such a thing really happens, the reputation of their Lu family will be completely ruined.

Led the talented southern nobles to defeat the arrogant and domineering invasion from the north. Today, Mu Lin is regarded as a hero by the southerners.

And such a hero was not defeated by the enemy, but was plotted by his own family, and became angry and defected to the enemy. Even if he did not have much political wisdom, Lu Yangyao knew how bad the reputation of his Lu family would be once such a thing happened.

The reputation of evil villains and evil-hearted officials will always fall on them.

And because of the defeat of the South, not only would there be a loss of reputation, but also material losses. At that time, hundreds of millions of southerners, whether nobles or ordinary people, would have great resentment against them.

The Lu family cannot bear this kind of hatred.

"This must not be allowed to happen."

Thinking of this, he stood up and prepared to ruin the plans of the Yan family and Mu Lin.

"We can't promise him, Mu Lin is threatening us..."

"Shut up, you!"

Before Lu Yangyao could finish speaking, the head of the Lu family broke in and forcefully told him to shut up.

Then, the patriarch glanced at the head of the Yan family sternly, and said with a cold expression: "My Lu family and Mu Lin do have some conflicts, but this is not the reason why you provoked them. I don't believe Mu Lin would say this or do this." ”

After saying that, the head of the Lu family pulled Lu Yangyao and walked out of the conference room.

When he got outside and saw that the direction he was going was Mu Lin's courtyard, Lu Yang Yao said to the head of the Lu family: "Are we going to uncover the Yan family's instigation and let Mu Lin understand the truth of the matter?"

"Idiot, ordinary people only talk about evidence. For our family, the truth and provocation are irrelevant. What we care about is the interests. With the competitive relationship between the Yan family and us, when Mu Lin left, the Yan family would not mind spending a lot of money. Resources, let Mu Lin say some slanderous words to disgust us. As long as the relationship between the two is good, Mu Lin will also be disgusted with us, and there is a 80-90% chance that he will say this. "

"And if something cannot be done, because they don't want to be involved, or to reduce losses, other wealthy families will also secretly promote this matter. By then, our Lu family's reputation will be completely ruined."

The dangerous situation made Lu Yangyao a little dazed, but the head of the Lu family was not too anxious.

"Fortunately, all this has not happened yet, and there is still time to undo it. Now I will take you to apologize to Mu Lin and give him some rare treasures. As long as the gifts are in place, what Old Ghost Yan said, even if it is true, can be changed. To provoke and slander.”

He used apologies and gifts to close the relationship with Mu Lin, making Mu Lin neutral in the dispute between the Yan and Lu families.

I have to say that the head of the Lu family’s plan is indeed very good.

And if the gifts given are large enough and valuable enough, it is really possible to accomplish this.

After all, Mu Lin is not a member of the Yan family, but has a close relationship with Yan Yunyu.

He doesn't mind helping the Yan family in some small things, but he won't make mortal enemies with others for the benefit of the Yan family. The Yan family's support for Mu Lin is not to help Mu Lin, but to follow suit. As Mu Lin showed off his talent, he gradually increased the stakes.

And until now, the investment in him is still lower than that of his own son.

They are not as close to him as a family, so Mu Lin will naturally not be sentimental and die for others.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Yangyao sorted out all this, but he was a little unwilling to bow his head to a junior.

"Do we have to bow our heads? Also, Mu Lin is threatening us. Could it be that so many of us nobles just sit back and watch his threats?"

Such words made the head of the Lu family feel a little tired.

He hated that iron could not be transformed into steel, and said extremely angrily:

"What can you do if you don't sit back and watch? Break up with Mu Lin, let him join the northern gentry, and then reverse our great situation? Or follow the example of the man in black robe last night and assassinate Mu Lin?"

"Let's not talk about whether Mu Lin, who has had an assassination experience and is under the special care of the northern nobles, can succeed in the assassination. Even if he succeeds, what does it matter? Mu Lin is dead. Without him, the young genius of the northern nobles can still crush us."

"Now, it is we who need Mu Lin, not him who needs us. We can only take his threat."

Lu Yangyao could not refute this.

In this way, the head of the Lu family carried the treasure and walked towards Mu Lin's courtyard, hoping to reach an understanding with Mu Lin.

And Mu Lin was still unaware of all this.

At this time, he asked Yan Yunyu, Si Ye and others to investigate the intelligence behind his assassination, while practicing in seclusion.

Even, most of Mu Lin's attention was placed on the back.

He knew very well that strength was the root of everything.

If he didn't have strong strength, he would have died in yesterday's assassination.

Now, he can threaten the northern and southern nobles and let them find the murderer for him, which is also based on strength.

Therefore, after the assassination, Mu Lin dared not relax for the improvement of his strength.

Fortunately for Mu Lin, this assassination was because the black-robed old man was naturally antagonistic to Mu Lin.

He did not suffer any injuries, and even this assassination did not delay Mu Lin's cultivation time.

After a day, Mu Lin's Gangqi and Shaqi merged a lot.

And today is the penultimate day before Mu Lin's promotion to the Transcendent High Gong.

In addition to the rapid fusion of Gangqi and Shaqi according to the plan, the death of the black-robed old man also brought a benefit to Mu Lin.

He gained another spiritual weapon.

The Ouroboros sword was also refined by Mu Lin using the True Spiritual Industry Map.

After refining, Mu Lin found that this sword was very strong, very strong.

Even because of refining this magic sword, Mu Lin's master-level skill-calligraphy, was improved a little bit, and he also comprehended a new root text.
