1070 Regret

“Heh, right, is the rumor about the First Elder of the Cao family true? Has it been confirmed?”

“It’s said she’s already dead. Who knows if it’s true?”

“If First Elder Cao is dead, doesn’t that mean that Cao Fei’er is still around? She should know who her biological father is, right?”

“Cao Fei’er has long disappeared, but I reckon that she took advantage of the internal strife in the Cao family to escape. She should have returned to the Upper Martial Arts World by now.”

“No way? Isn’t she going to come back and bury the corpse of the Cao family’s first elder?”

“Tsk, why should I? I heard from one of my senior brothers that Cao Fei’er escaped from an underground tunnel. That underground passage was a backup plan left behind by the First Elder of the Cao family. Unexpectedly, when she was escaping, Cao Fei’er went in herself and left First Elder Cao outside, causing her to die with regrets.”

“Tsk tsk, First Elder Cao indirectly died at the hands of her daughter. What a pity!”

“Even First Elder Cao, a level-seven expert, is dead. What about the other higher-ups of the Cao family?”

“They’re either dead or crippled.”

“Sigh, I didn’t expect it to end so quickly. I was still thinking that the Cao family could hold on for a while no matter what!”

“That’s right. I originally wanted to exchange for a Marrow Cleansing Pill, but I didn’t expect it to end so quickly. It’ll probably be very difficult for me to obtain Alchemist Lu’s pills in the future.”

“If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have joined the sect so quickly back then. Otherwise, I could have joined the new Mu family directly now.”

“Besides, if you had known, why didn’t you go to heaven? But then again, the new Mu family’s disciples were really enviable!

“I heard that the new Mu family’s disciples can obtain a certain number of pills every month no matter how talented they are. If their cultivation breaks through, they can even be rewarded!”

“That’s not all! I heard that all the disciples of the new Mu family now have a spatial storage talisman in their hands!”

“F*ck! I think we should rob the new Mu family’s disciples!”

“If you’re not afraid of being hunted down by everyone, go ahead. Anyway, I won’t stop you.”

“…”

A few itinerant cultivators who happened to pass by heard their laughter and felt very upset.

Initially, they had joined the new Mu Clan. However, after hearing the rumors of Alchemist Lu’s death, they withdrew angrily.

When the new Mu family was jointly suppressed by the Cao, Gu, and Mu families, they even gloated. They were even very glad that they had long left the new Mu family.

But now… they regretted it. They regretted it so much that they wished they could slap themselves.

Unfortunately, no matter how much they regretted it, they couldn’t make time go back in time and choose again.

Of course, it was not that they had never thought of joining the new Mu family again, but they could not even step into the door of the new Mu family, let alone join it again.

The few itinerant cultivators looked at each other and saw endless regret in one another’s eyes.

…

At the new Mu residence.

“I didn’t expect this. I was still thinking of attacking the Cao family at night. I didn’t expect them to turn against one another first.”

Lu Zijia shook her head and sighed as she ground the pill into powder.

Mu Tianyan also sat on the ground and helped her powder her face. “Didn’t you expect this long ago, Wifey?”

Although his wife was sighing, the gloating in her tone was very obvious.

Mu Tianyan liked his wife very much.

At the very least, this meant that his wife was very happy, right?
