Full-Time Magister: The Evil Emperor Descends

Under everyone's gaze, Elder Fan Ning closed his eyes and rhythmically tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest of his chair.

During this process, no one made a sound to disturb the proceedings, and the conference hall fell silent once again.

After a long while, the tapping sound stopped, and Fan Ning slowly opened his eyes, looking at everyone and speaking.

"My suggestion regarding this matter is to leave it for now. According to my guess, Mu Ningxue must have obtained some rare and precious materials with ice attributes, which offset the side effects of the Ice Crystal Bow, thus accelerating the absorption efficiency."

"An ice-attribute rare treasure... How could that bastard have obtained such an opportunity?!"

Upon hearing the elder's words, Mu Yinfeng was stunned for a moment, then looked surprised and shocked, even a little jealous. Her chest heaved with anger, large and full.

She was extremely displeased. Why should Mu Ningxue, a disciple from a collateral branch, be able to obtain such a great opportunity, and even have it negate the side effects of the Ice Crystal Bow?

"Elder, are we really going to give Mu Ningxue cultivation resources, and even give her the fragments of the Ice Crystal Bow?"

Mu Dao felt that the Grand Elder's actions were somewhat inappropriate, so he frowned slightly and asked.

Elder Fan Ning stroked his beard, a slight smile curving his lips, his gaze becoming somewhat deep, and spoke slowly.

"No matter how much Mu Ningxue cultivates, she can never fully master the Ice Crystal Bow. Even if we give her fragments of the Ice Crystal Bow, what difference will it make? She will only become a tool for us to nurture the Ice Crystal Bow."

In fact, in the eyes of their superiors, the final ownership of the Ice Crystal Bow must be in the hands of the Mu family's direct descendants, so that they can better control this forbidden object.

As for why the ice crystal fragments were distributed to those outstanding collateral descendants or outsiders, the reason is actually very simple... to raise Gu!
Those outstanding disciples will use their magical energy to nurture the ice crystal fragments, similar to raising a Gu poison, and they will all become a true part of the Ice Crystal Bow.

As for them... hehe, even if one of them really wins the final victory and gets all the ice crystal fragments, he will still be abandoned in the end and completely reduced to a tool.

Mu Ningxue is just like that; a mere Ice Crystal Bow is nothing to fear!
"Hehe, the Grand Elder is indeed wise. Even if we give her ice crystal fragments, what good will it do? She'll just be a tool."

Mu Yinfeng smiled again, covered her mouth and chuckled, a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes.

She just loves seeing the despair on other people's faces, just like that bitch from over a decade ago. That bastard will end up like that too!
At this moment, a kind-looking old man sitting in the first seat to the left of the main seat spoke up.

"Elder, my granddaughter crushed many of the younger generation in this clan competition, what do you think..."

He is the second elder of the Mu family, Mu Baizhou's father, and Mu Tingying's grandfather.

Elder Fan Ning glanced at him sideways, knowing full well what his old friend was planning. He chuckled and nodded.

"Yes, Tingying is indeed a good girl. She ranks among the top of the younger generation in the clan this time, and her talent is also outstanding. She should be given some cultivation resources."

Upon hearing this, the Second Elder's kind face instantly broke into a smile, and he quickly cupped his hands in greeting.

"Haha, then this old man thanks the Grand Elder!"

Upon hearing these words, Mu Baizhou, who had been sitting in the back and was starting to doze off, instantly woke up, sat up straight, and beamed with barely suppressed joy.

More than a decade ago, taking Mu Tingying to Tiansheng Hospital was the thing he regretted most. If it weren't for that boy sacrificing his life, he would have lost his beloved daughter.

Since returning from Tianshan, he has never let his daughter take any more risks, and he even resolutely refused to let her participate in the competition for the Ice Crystal Bow.

Not participating in the competition for the Ice Crystal Bow does not mean he doesn't want his daughter to gain a foothold in the Mu Clan; securing sufficient cultivation resources is still very important.

With the approval of the Grand Elder for this batch of cultivation resources, Tingying's strength will definitely reach a new level!

"Ah."

Elder Fan Ning nodded, then looked at the others and continued.

"As for the second matter, it concerns a person in the collateral branch... namely, the Mu Zhuoyun family, who possesses the Zu family token."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was shocked and began to murmur amongst themselves.

"What?! The Ancestral Clan Token?!"

"Wait, why are members of the Zu family appearing in the home of a collateral branch of the Mu family?!"

"Could it be that Mu Zhuoyun's family has betrayed us and chosen to join the Zu family?" "Elder, is that Zu family token real? Is the news true?"

Hearing the murmurs of the crowd, Elder Fan Ning turned his gaze to Mu Fangzhou and spoke.

"Fangzhou, this is a message from your subordinates. You can deliver it."

"it is good."

Mu Fangzhou responded and explained to everyone.

"I want to solemnly tell you all that this news is true. The Zhou family head told me that a man in black robes appeared at Mu Zhuoyun's house. That man took out an ancestral token and said that he would protect their family."

“No one would forge the Zu Clan token, nor would they dare to. The Zhou family head wouldn’t use it to deceive our Mu Clan.”

"Because the person was wearing a black robe and was completely covered up, it was impossible to identify who he was."

"Not only that, I also specifically asked the people on the Zu family's side, and they neither confirmed nor denied it; their answers were very intriguing."

Upon hearing these words, everyone present fell silent, lost in thought.

"Why is it about that bastard again..."

Mu Yinfeng frowned slightly, bit her red lips lightly, and an irritable expression appeared on her pretty face as she muttered to herself.

What's going on? Today is so unlucky. I've already heard two stories about that family. Does that bastard have such good luck?

After a moment of silence, Mu Dao finally looked at the Grand Elder and asked.

"Elder, do you have any thoughts on this matter?"

After a moment of contemplation, Elder Fan Ning spoke calmly, his gaze deep.

"Ignore them for now. Since the Zu family wants to protect them, we don't need to provoke them. Just treat them as usual."

"Yes."

Suddenly, Mu Dao remembered something, his expression turned slightly grim, and he said in a low voice.

"Elder, I also have something to report. The Nanrong family, which we previously tried to win over... has sided with Chen Xi."

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, Elder Fan Ning was taken aback for a moment, then his expression became uncertain, and he remained silent.

The others, however, were not so composed upon hearing these words. Mu Fangzhou was the first to angrily shout and curse.

"Damn it! That Nanrong family is utterly ungrateful. They kept saying they wanted to pledge allegiance to our Mu family, but then they turned around and went to Chenxi's side. Don't they know that we and Chenxi are now irreconcilable enemies?!"

With him starting, many people began to echo his sentiments and eagerly began to discuss it.

“That’s right. Chen Xi has been competing with our Mu family for a long time. Several aristocratic families that originally cooperated with us are now going to cooperate with Chen Xi!”

"That's right. Several powerful families have cooperated with Chenxi, posing a great threat to our Mu family. The Zhao family, Qin family, Mu family, Bai family, Dongfang family... even the Zu family are secretly helping us!"

"If you ask me, we should have nipped Chenxi in the bud before it fully matured, so that we wouldn't have any worries about the future and wouldn't be in such a difficult situation as we are now."

"Alright, stop with the hindsight..."

The cake is only so big, and having more people means fewer resources. In addition, the powerful families that share the cake have a cooperative relationship with Chenxi, which makes the Mu family seem somewhat isolated and helpless.

Moreover, they also knew that Chen Xi had bought a piece of land in Feibiao City and Ya'an Realm, and had already established his own power there, and his strength would gradually increase.

Chen Xi will only become more powerful in the future, and dealing with him will be very troublesome, which is something the proud and arrogant Mu clan cannot accept!
Moye...

Elder Fan Ning remained silent, his fingers lightly tapping the armrest of his chair as he murmured those two words to himself, his gaze deep and cold. (End of Chapter)
