Chapter 1166: Grateful Thanks to Little Ninth Lord for Saving My Life

“Just because of this?!” The Mu Family Head was skeptical.

The Mu Family branches thrived in the south, they were basically the dominant force, rulers of the land.

They were far more comfortable in the south than in Beijing.

And five years ago, when Han Yong’an ascended to power, there weren’t any good positions in Beijing.

If they were to propose this now, though, the main family might consider it since so much has happened this year.

With Han Yong’an’s downfall and Yu Shuo taking over, fresh blood is needed.

Five years ago, the branch’s proposal was indeed inappropriate, which is why the main family rejected their request to return to Beijing.

Mu Zifan sneered, “Isn’t it? Send someone to investigate and you’ll know!”

Gu Jin agreed, nodding lightly, “Indeed, investigate and you’ll find out. It’s your family affair, I shouldn’t intervene. But if you encounter any trouble, you can come to me. Not everyone can perceive Evil Qi, it’s best to be cautious.”

Gu Jin believed that with the Mu Family’s capability, solving these problems was no big deal.

Mu Zifan nodded lightly in gratitude, “Thank you, Master.”

“These bastards!” The Mu Family Head cursed in anger.

Mu Zifan smiled wryly, “Father, calm down. This time it can be considered a blessing in disguise. If it weren’t for Master, my cultivation might really have been ruined soon.”

Truly, all this was thanks to the Mu Family Head’s shamelessness.

It was he who had Gu Jin take Mu Zifan as a disciple, else none of this would have been discovered.

Had another year or two passed and Mu Zifan’s cultivation had been completely ruined, they’d have nowhere to cry.

Of course, the Mu Family Head understood these things.

He bowed respectfully to Gu Jin, “This time, we are immensely grateful to you, Young Master Gu.”

“The Mu Family Head is too kind.”

Gu Jin rose to help the Mu Family Head up herself.

She asked, “How is Miss Mu’s health?”

The Mu Family Head’s expression softened considerably, showing some relief.

“Zifeng’s health is good; she had an elixir upon arrival and can already walk.”

Since attending the banquet, Mu Zifeng had been bedridden.

Based on past experience, she normally wouldn’t be able to get out of bed for ten days to half a month.

Currently, it’s the best outcome.

With further rest, she’ll be like a normal person again, no longer worried about never waking from her sleep.

Gu Jin comforted, “Take your time, don’t rush. She should recuperate for another month or two.”

The Mu Family Head replied, “Thanks to Young Master Gu’s elixir. The girl wanted to personally thank Young Master Gu when she went out, but being weak, she didn’t agree. When she gets better, I’ll definitely bring her to express our gratitude for the life-saving favor.”

“Let’s talk about it if fate allows.”

Gu Jin did not make any promises and responded casually.

Since this morning, she’s been uneasy, as if something’s about to happen.

The Mu Family Head noticed Gu Jin’s irregular expression and signaled to his eldest son.

But before they could act, the recently departed Linda suddenly hurriedly ran in.

She moved in a panic, almost stumbling, her face ashen, her red lips trembling continuously.

This distraught appearance had never been seen on Linda before.

Gu Jinsuang’s pupils tightened, her hands trembling slightly at her sides.

At this moment, as if sensing something, her heart was a bundle of nerves.

Someone who had been calm just now showed clear panic, the Mu Family members exchanged glances, clearly something had happened.

“The… the Family Head he…”
