Chapter 402: Unexpected Relationship
As soon as these words came out, except for Chen Zi Ya who had some psychological preparation, Lin Zhangqing, Hu Yunna, and the others were all confused.
Especially Hu Yunna and Zhao Mingxia, who didn't know what Mu Jiuyin was talking about and felt very inexplicable. Everything was fine yesterday.
How did it suddenly rise to the point of needing elders to come forward today! Lin Zhangqing was also a bit confused at this time and couldn't help but say: "Didn't I make it clear to you yesterday?
And didn't you and Ya'er already discuss it? Why do you have to disturb Great-Grandmother now?"
Hearing Lin Zhangqing ask this, Mu Jiuyin herself was a bit strange and couldn't help but glance at Chen Zi Ya and ask: "It's been a whole day, haven't you told him yet?"
Chen Zi Ya sighed and explained: "There has been no opportunity all day. Let's talk about it on the way. Don't let Great-Grandmother and Mu Zhenren wait too long!"
So Chen Zi Ya said to Hu Yunna and Zhao Mingxia, leaving the two of them in the inn.
At this time, Lin Zhangqing also knew that he definitely had to go to Great-Grandmother's place. He didn't say anything else. Anyway, he would say whatever there was to say in front of Great-Grandmother! So the two of them, led by Mu Jiuyin, left the inn and headed directly toward the south gate of the market.
It looked like they were going to leave the market. Sure enough, after a while, they left the market and headed toward the Town Guard Office of Chao Yin City.
On the way, Lin Zhangqing quietly asked Chen Zi Ya, "Ya'er! What is going on?"
At this time, Chen Zi Ya explained: "Green Brother! After I talked to Mu Jiuyin last night, I learned that the Mu family and us still have some unexpected relationships! And Mu Jiuyin didn't agree with your statement last night, so today we are going to see Great-Grandmother and Mu Zhenren."
After hearing this, he realized that things were like this. He wanted to ask why she didn't tell him earlier, but thinking about it, she didn't seem to have any opportunity to tell him today.
Even if he had known in advance, what could he have done? He would still have to make this trip anyway.
Now that things had reached this point, he could only take one step at a time. However, he still couldn't help but ask: "Then what relationship do they have with us?"
Chen Zi Ya glanced at him and said with a light smile: "Isn't it a coincidence? You know Great-Grandmother's seventh disciple, Mu Qingrong.
Let's put it this way, Uncle-Master Mu Qingrong should be the aunt of the Mu family sisters, but they rarely meet.
And Mu Zhenren also has some friendship with Great-Grandmother, so there is such a thing today!"
Lin Zhangqing heard this and felt it was incredible. He couldn't react at all. Wasn't this completely chaotic? Did the high-level officials of the Qingyun Sect know about this? So he couldn't help but ask: "Isn't the Mu family always people of the Xianyin Sect? And how could Senior Mu Qingrong travel thousands of miles to join the Qingyun Sect and become Great-Grandmother's disciple?"
Chen Zi Ya thought for a moment and explained: "The six sects of Qingyun have competition and cooperation, and they have never had large-scale contradictions and conflicts.
To a certain extent, the six sects can be considered to be of the same breath and branch. Therefore, it is not uncommon for some younger disciples with special talents to join other sects.
But to prevent accidents, these disciples should never enter the core decision-making layer of the sect. This should also be the tacit understanding of each sect!
However, this also has benefits, which is that they can concentrate on cultivation without thinking too much about other things.
So Uncle-Master Mu is considered the disciple with the highest cultivation under Great-Grandmother, and her cultivation in the direction of arrays is also among the best in Chengxia Peak."
Hearing this, Lin Zhangqing had a little understanding. It turned out that the relationship between the sects was not what he had imagined.
He also understood what the real situation was, which was that if there were no vast Xuan Yan Continent,
the six sects would probably fight to the death for various limited resources because of the corner of the Qingyun Corner. But with the Xuan Yan Continent, the Qingyun Corner instead became their rear area, so they certainly hoped that the rear area could remain stable.
Thereby liberating their energy from this corner to go to the broader world of the Xuan Yan Continent to obtain more resources.
Then the appearance of younger disciples joining other sects could be understood.
In fact, the relationship between the six sects can also be summarized in one sentence: "Limited cooperation, consistent outward!"
After thinking it through, Lin Zhangqing was relieved. He didn't want Great-Grandmother to get into trouble because of such things.
After a while, the four arrived at the entrance of the Town Guard Office. Senior Mu Qingrong was already waiting for them at the entrance.
After the four met, they paid their respects one after another! "Greetings, Second Aunt!"
"Greetings, Second Aunt!"
"Greetings, Uncle-Master Mu!"
"Greetings, Senior Mu!"
Various different forms of address came from different people. However, Mu Qingrong just said lightly: "Alright! No need for so many courtesies. I'll take you in!"
After speaking, she specifically looked at Lin Zhangqing. She also knew Lin Zhangqing, but she didn't expect that he would be involved with her own family's younger generation.
And the matter also alarmed the family ancestor and the master, so she volunteered to come to the entrance to pick up the people. After all, she knew both sides, and of course, she was the most suitable to come forward here.
As for Lin Zhangqing, because such a matter alarmed Great-Grandmother and another Zhenren, he also had no bottom in his heart, but after all, he did save them at that time.
Because although he had no bottom in his heart, he was not afraid of anything. He couldn't have done a good deed by saving people and still be punished! So he was relatively calm in his heart now.
The scale of this Town Guard Office was not small. Mu Qingrong took the four of them through several courtyards.
Finally, they came to the living room of a courtyard. Great-Grandmother and a middle-aged male cultivator were sitting there drinking tea.
When everyone entered, they all stepped forward to pay their respects.
"Greetings, Great-Grandmother, greetings, Mu Zhenren!"
"Greetings, Great-Grandmother, greetings, Mu Zhenren!"
"Greetings, Great-Grandfather, greetings, Chen Zhenren!"
"Greetings, Great-Grandfather, greetings, Chen Zhenren!"
Great-Grandmother glanced at Lin Zhangqing and then said to them: "No need for so many courtesies. Find a place to sit down yourselves!"
Lin Zhangqing and Chen Zi Ya consciously sat down below Great-Grandmother, while Mu Jiuyin and Mu Xiaoxiao sat below Mu Zhenren, which was opposite them.
