3666 Conflict
“You’re slandering me!”
“You did it!”
Upon seeing the two men quarreling, everyone in the Mu family couldn’t help but look at each other. What was going on? Why were they arguing? When they saw that their argument was getting more heated, and it looked like they were about to fight, someone advised: “Third Elder, please don’t argue! Now that we don’t even know if Patriarch and Eldest Young Master are alive, and they haven’t returned to us yet, it is really inappropriate to be arguing right now.”
“Yes! We will definitely find the person who secretly harmed our Patriarch, but we can’t wrongly accuse an innocent person.”
“That’s right.”
After hearing what everyone had said, the both of them stopped arguing, but their expressions remained solemn.
“Everyone, follow me to search the surrounding area and see if we can find Patriarch and Eldest Young Master.” The Third Elder said, and told everyone to prepare themselves and look around. After all, even if they were dead, they would have left something behind.
“Hmph! It’s already so late at night, those fierce beasts might not have gone very far yet, and you want everyone to go and search for them. You want everyone to die?” The middle-aged man snorted, it was obvious that he disapproved.
“I just want to find Patriarch! Maybe they are waiting for us to rescue them!” The Third Elder trembled with anger. This villain, he had finally seen through his true colours!
“If you want to go, then go alone! I won’t risk my life in vain!” The middle-aged man said in a cold voice, then he glanced at everyone: “Anyone who wants to go with Third Elder to search for them, go ahead! But don’t blame me when you’re at death’s door in the beast’s mouth!”
Upon hearing this, the people who had originally wanted to go and search for them with the Third Elder couldn’t help but hesitate. It was late at night and those fierce beasts hadn’t come near them yet. Wouldn’t it be a mistake to go and search for them now…
“Third Elder, I will go with you to look for Patriarch and Eldest Young Master.” A man stood up and walked over to the Third Elder with a solemn expression. No matter who was behind the attack on their Patriarch and Eldest Young Master, the most important thing at hand was to find their Patriarch first.
“Third Elder, I will go too.” Another man also stood up.
“We will go too.”
“We will go too.”
One person stood up, then another person stood up and more followed. Gradually, amongst the thirty forty people, other than the few who were injured, and the few who hadn’t moved, the others had decided to go to look for their Patriarch.
Upon seeing this scene, the Third Elder nodded happily: “Good! Just as the Mu family men should behave! Come with me!”
“Third Elder, we…” Those who were injured were a little anxious when they saw this.
The Third Elder glanced at them and said: “You are injured, so just stay here! It’s just as well, they can stay behind to protect you. Regardless of whether we find Patriarch and Eldest Young Master or not, we will be back before dawn.”
The middle-aged man looked at this scene with a gloomy expression and said nothing. He looked at them and watched the Third Elder leading the people away, then he snorted coldly.
“Old thing!”
When the others heard his low curse, they lowered their heads and pretended not to hear. The people on the ground who were injured frowned and said: “Third Master, how can you scold the Third Elder? He is the Elder of the clan.”
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man glanced at the man on the ground with a sullen face and snorted coldly: “What’s wrong with me scolding him? Isn’t he an old thing? What? You want to protect him? If you want to protect him and stand by his side, why don’t you go with him?”
The few people sitting against the tree couldn’t help but be stunned when they heard this. They hadn’t expected him to say such words.
