Chapter 136 The choice of the Imperial Capital Mu family
"You bastard!"
After a long time, their lips parted.
Asharuya pushed Luo Chen away and spoke in shame and anger.
"Thank you for the compliment, but don't forget that I still have my reward to collect..."
Luo Chen just smiled and didn't make any excuses for himself, but reminded.
"you……"
Luo Chen saw that Asharuya was not actually angry, so he was so fearless.
Seeing that she couldn't persuade Luo Chen, Asharuya simply closed her eyes. Out of sight, out of mind.
He immediately began to meditate and recover his magic power as quickly as possible.
After recovering their magic power, the two left here...

at the same time
Venice on the other side
The Mediterranean wind blows, like a pair of gentle hands gently stroking your hair.
A strand of silver hair swayed gently in the wind. Mu Ningxue turned her head slightly and looked at the hair fluttering in the wind...
Not all of them are snow-white, some of them seem to have taken on their original dark ink color.
Thick ink is the natural color of her hair, just like her mother, thick ink like silk, beautiful and peaceful.
Instead of this extremely eye-catching whiteness, it gave her a pale and sad feeling that was lingering.
"Once your hair has regained its color, you won't have to suffer from the cold nightmare anymore. It will be of use to you."
These words were still echoing in Mu Ningxue's mind.
The change in hair color is the best proof that she has gradually gained control of this power.
"Mu Ningxue, you are here as expected."
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind her.
Mu Ningxue turned her head and looked at the gentle middle-aged man in front of her, with a puzzled look on her face.
"Teacher, why are you here?"
"Don't call me teacher. I'm just teaching you some things. I don't deserve the title of teacher... Just call me Pansy."
Mu Ningxue couldn't help but be a little surprised at this moment.
Pan Xi naturally noticed the surprise on Mu Ningxue's face and shook her head with a smile.
"Surprised, my last name isn't Mu? Right?"
Mu Ningxue nodded affirmatively.
Pansy was one of the few people who treated her kindly when she first came to the Mu family in Dijing.
Mu Ningxue was able to gain a foothold in the Mu family in the imperial capital, on the one hand because of her own extraordinary talent, and on the other hand because of the support of Pan Xi, who was half a teacher.
Therefore, Mu Ningxue respected Pan Xi like a teacher.
But it was just respect. Mu Ningxue knew very well that Pan Xi supported her only because of her talent.
All Pansy supports is the position of the strongest person.
Just like the ministers in the ancient court, they always supported the emperor, and it didn’t matter who was the emperor...
Once she is unable to maintain her position as the strongest, it will only take a moment for her to be abandoned.
“You know, the Ice Element is our family’s emblem, and there are many large clans throughout China that are on par with us.
But no clan can produce more high-level mages and super-level mages than our Mu clan in the imperial capital. Do you know why?"
Pan Xi did not directly answer Mu Ningxue's question, but instead brought up a seemingly unrelated question.
"why?"
Mu Ningxue followed the other party's words and asked further.
"It's simple, because our Mu clan has a magical tool that no other clan has—a bow made of ice crystals!"
Mu Ningxue's pupils shrank slightly, and she instantly thought of her Ice Crystal Bow, which was like a contract with her soul.
"Yes, that's what you were thinking!"
Pansy spoke as if she could see through Mu Ningxue's heart.
"So, you came here this time to personally take away the Ice Crystal Braking Bow from me?!"
Mu Ningxue's words turned completely cold at this moment. She looked at Pan Xi with burning eyes, ready to fight at any time.
"No, no, no, you misunderstood. We are not going to do this! If it was in the past, maybe this would be possible, but now..."
Pansy smiled and shook her head, then took out a dozen ice crystal fragments from her storage bracelet and handed them to Mu Ningxue.
"...These fragments, as well as the right to use the Ice Crystal Bow, will now belong to you!"
Pan Xi didn't take any defensive action, she just stretched out her hand and handed over a dozen pieces of ice crystal fragments. Mu Ningxue still just looked at Pan Xi coldly, and didn't reach out to take them, but asked in return:
"why?"
"No reason, it's just a collective decision made by the elders of the Mu clan. I'm just an executor..."
Pansy smiled and spoke calmly.
Mu Ningxue lowered her eyes, as if she had thought of something, and then asked:
"Just because... of him?"
“That’s right, it’s just because of the person behind you that the elders made this decision collectively.
For a clan to survive for a long time, besides the necessary foundation and strength, connections are also an indispensable part..."
"Is that why?"
"Of course, I also consider the potential of you and the person behind you. Splitting the bets has always been the basic operation of the aristocratic families, isn't it?
As long as you are strong enough in the future, let alone the right to use the Ice Crystal Bow, even acting on behalf of the Mu family in the imperial capital is not a bad idea!"
Mu Ningxue sneered twice.
"That means, if he and I separate in the future, or if I'm not strong enough, you will take back the right to use the Ice Crystal Bow, right?"
"When you ask this question, don't you already have the answer in your mind? Why ask me?!"
Pansy smiled faintly and did not give an answer, but in fact, this itself was already an answer.
Aristocratic families don't mind keeping an extra idle person, provided that the idle person is of use.
Mu Ningxue smiled coldly, then looked at the fragments of the Ice Crystal Bow in front of her and took a deep breath.
"One last question, what happens to those who lose their fragments?"
Mu Ningxue asked calmly.
“As expected of you, you have guessed the story behind this bow. Yes, you are not the only one.
Besides you, there are many people who have fragments of the Ice Crystal Brake Bow in their bodies. Only in this way can the Ice Crystal Brake Bow be fully revived.
But don't worry, those who lost the fragments are not dead, they just lost their cultivation over the years.
As for whether someone commits suicide because of this, that is not my concern..."
Pansy smiled indifferently.
"By the way, your mother is also a bow slave, but she is not as talented as you, what a pity!"
"What did you say?!"
Mu Ningxue trembled all over for a moment, and then her eyes were completely filled with anger.
"Are you angry? The Mu family in the imperial capital has always been like this, the strong prey on the weak, and you are one of the profiteers, aren't you?"
"But I never heard from you that this came at the cost of depriving others of their cultivation!"
"So now you know it, don't you? Are you angry? Don't want to accept these fragments?
Let me put it more directly. If these fragments are not nourished for a long time, they will only continue to be placed on the next person...
Obtaining the Ice Crystal Bow and reaching the top of the Mu family was your mother's long-cherished wish before her death.
Since you are angry about this, you should take these fragments and put together a complete Ice Crystal Bow.
In the future, I will attack the Mu clan, kill the elders who made the decision, and as the ruler of the Mu clan, I will completely put an end to the sad fate of Gong Nu, right?"
"Is this your plan?"
Mu Ningxue sneered and stared at Pansy.
"You can treat this as an open conspiracy. As for what you choose to do, it is your freedom..."
Pansy smiled.
Mu Ningxue didn't take long. She just moved her hand casually and all the fragments of the Ice Crystal Bow flew into her hand.
"I will kill the Mu family and let those people wait!"
"I will inform the elders..."
Pansy smiled.
What happened behind Mu Ningxue's back and in the past could not be concealed. The reason why he showed up today and told her everything was because of the will of the elders.
Since it cannot be concealed, it would be better to expose the person behind Mu Ningxue in the future and bring disaster to the Mu family.
It would be better for the Mu family to take the initiative to inform him, and sacrifice the pawns to save the chariot, so as to avoid suffering a heavy blow in the future and destabilizing the family foundation...
Even more so, if Mu Ningxue really has the ability to cleanse the Mu family in the future, perhaps she can lead the Mu family to the next peak.
Even after the purge, when Mu Ningxue left the Mu family, the Mu family's strength was only reduced a little, but its foundation was still there.
Moreover, everyone knew that Mu Ningxue was from the Mu family in the imperial capital, and had a connection with that person, so the Mu family's network of contacts would only be wider in the eyes of others.
No matter what choice Mu Ningxue makes, the Mu family will not lose anything. It will just be a matter of a few more deaths...
