Versatile Mage: Summon eight demons at the beginning

Chapter 272 Mu Nuxin

……

"An exchange student leading the team?"

When Mu Nujiao heard this term, her eyes looked a little strange, and she obviously recalled some bad memories.

"If you're not interested, I'll go by myself," said Lu Cheng.

"It's not that I'm not interested, but, aren't you in danger in this state?" Mu Nujiao pointed at Lu Cheng's body, which was less than ten years old.

After resting for this period of time, Lu Cheng's body has barely grown a little. His previous state was strictly speaking infancy, but now it is only in childhood, roughly the state of a ten-year-old human being, and still looks like a child.

"No, the Holy Court is my territory, and my mother will go with me." Lu Cheng said.

"You seem to be in a bad mood recently, so I came to ask you if you want to go out and relax."

"It's not that I'm in a bad mood." Mu Nujiao pulled the little Lu Cheng towards the yard.

"It's just that there have been too many things going on at home recently."

The rising coastline caused economic crisis in most industries in coastal cities, and many smaller families even went bankrupt.

Although the Mu family's situation is not that tragic, it is not optimistic.

"The Mu family is starting to cause trouble?" Lu Cheng asked.

Mu Nujiao was stunned. "You still pay attention to these issues?"

As the coastline rose, the industries of the coastal families suffered a huge impact. At the same time, inland troops had to be transferred to the coastal areas to defend against the sirens. As a result, the inland families were also greatly affected.

As the family with the largest industrial scope and the most powerful strength in the country, the Mu family naturally took this opportunity to start swallowing up small families and squeezing the living space of medium-sized families.

Today, the major resource veins on the East Coast have almost been monopolized by the Mu and Zhao families. Among the four major families in Magic City, the situation of the Mu family is already good. After all, she has the relationship with Lu Cheng. Neither the Zhao family nor the Mu family has gone too far.

"I heard a little bit." Lu Cheng said.

Although Mu Ningxue has gained an important position in the current Mu family, the Mu family is a large aristocratic family with a lot of people. Especially in matters involving the interests of the aristocratic family, Mu Ningxue is not qualified to intervene now.

Even the current patriarch of the Mu family would never stand up and speak of justice for the family's interests.

The Zhao family is similar. Although Zhao Manyan is now the apparent leader of the Zhao family, it is not his turn to make decisions at the Zhao clan meeting. He can take money, but when it comes to matters involving family actions, the clan elders will not waver.

Don't always talk about justice. If any other family were in their position, they would never miss such an opportunity.

It is human nature to take advantage of others' misfortune.

"Tell me, what can I do to make the old man change his mind?"

"You can't marry into the Dongfang family, let alone Dongfang Lie!"

Just as they were approaching Mu Nuxin's small building and were about to go in, a quarrel suddenly broke out from upstairs.

Mu Nujiao felt a little embarrassed, turned around and pulled Lu Cheng to leave.

"elder sister?"

"Um... sorry, we'll come back later." Mu Nujiao seemed to find it difficult to walk with Lu Cheng pulling her, so she simply picked him up.

"Why are you running? Let me watch for a while." Lu Cheng said.

"This kind of noise is not nice to watch." Mu Nujiao did not stop and carried Lu Cheng directly to the yard next to her.

"Why, are you still worried about me?" Lu Cheng said.

"What can I do now?"

Mu Nujiao's eyes twitched slightly, "I'm not worried about what you'll do, I'm worried that she's targeting you."

Because of what happened before, everyone in the Mu family knew that Lu Cheng’s attitude towards them was not very good, so they didn’t dare to say anything more afterwards.

The current situation of the Mu family is not optimistic. The rising coastline will definitely not stop here. Although she is now the nominal head of the Mu family, the actual command is still mainly by Mu Nuxin. After all, she doesn't quite understand these things.

In order to strengthen the Mu family, her sister would do anything.

"I'm sorry for letting you see what happened just now."

After a while, Mu Nuxin came over.

"Who is this?" Mu Nuxin looked at the little boy held on Mu Nujiao's lap with some confusion.

"Lu Cheng." Lu Cheng said.

"Ah?" Mu Nuxin was stunned. "Um... he became smaller due to some special reasons." Mu Nujiao was a little confused to explain, because she was not very clear about the details of the matter.

"Oh..." Mu Nuxin nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

"Then what are you..."

"I plan to go to Europe with him next." Mu Nujiao said.

"Also, regarding the matter of Asuka City, he asked if the Mu family was interested in getting involved."

"Of course." Mu Nuxin said.

"If there is anything you need, the Mu family will definitely do their best."

"It's just that the Mu family has run into some trouble recently, and I hope my brother-in-law can help."

"What trouble?" Lu Cheng asked.

"In the Sun Ridge of Kunyu Mountain, the Mu family encountered some trouble in developing the fire veins." Mu Nuxin said.

"Go to Feiniao City and find Ye Chang. She will make the arrangements." Lu Cheng said.

"Thank you, brother-in-law." Mu Nuxin said with a smile.

"Nothing, just a small matter." Lu Cheng jumped to the ground.

"If there is anything, it's best to speak directly like we did today. I can help with anything I'm willing to help with, but there's no point in you playing dirty with things I'm not willing to help with."

"I remember it." Mu Nuxin's expression remained unchanged.

It was indeed a mistake that the Mu family wanted to rely on Mu Nujiao to get close to Lu Cheng, but that was not her idea. It was their eldest brother Mu Hua's idea. After all, many years ago, when Lu Cheng was still in Bo City, Mu Hua had thought of using this method, but he did not expect that Lu Cheng's growth would gradually go beyond their control.

But Mu Hua thought that method was still useful. To put it bluntly, their eldest brother regarded Lu Cheng as the same person as Qi Shan.

But if Lu Cheng was the kind of person who could be changed by a few soft words, Mu Nujiao would not have failed to bring him into the Mu family for so many years.

On the contrary, the Mu family is now more like a subsidiary of Lu Cheng.

If they had followed her advice, the Mu family would not have fallen into the current embarrassing situation.

"By the way, if there is any trouble within the Mu family, just tell me directly." Lu Cheng said.

"Jiaojiao has a soft personality. Even if she encounters it, she will probably just endure it and give in, just like before."

"If it were you, you wouldn't have these concerns."

"I'll pay attention." Mu Nuxin nodded, without making any excuses for what happened before.

There is no need to say some boring nonsense, which does not serve any purpose other than annoying people.

Mu Nujiao was about to say something when someone in the lobby came over and called her over.

"I'm just strolling around, you guys go ahead."

As he spoke, Lu Cheng walked towards the garden. After a few steps, two dark figures emerged from the shadows and followed him.

"He actually travels with bodyguards of this level. He is quite cautious." Mu Nuxin said.

Although she didn't understand magic, it was really exaggerated that even the super-class magicians of the Mu family couldn't sense the shadow aura.

"Nu Xin, what you just said..."

"Sister, you really should be more cruel about some things." Mu Nuxin said.

"It's not convenient for me to refute my elder brother in front of the old man, but you should really be tougher on these things. For example, last time, you stuck yourself in the middle and acted like a human being. Do you know how dangerous that approach was?"

Mu Nujiao was stunned. "Danger?"

Mu Nuxin sighed, "If it weren't for Lu Cheng's consideration of your feelings, many people in the Mu family would have died last time."

The Lu family, which was once as powerful as the Mu family, completely declined in less than a month after offending Lu Cheng!
If the Lu family did not have some connections in the Magic Palace, they would not even have a chance to survive.

"It's quite rare to find a man who is strong but also knows how to respect others. Sister, you must cherish him." Mu Nuxin said.

"As for Big Brother, I will take care of it later."

"But……"

"No buts, sister. Being soft-hearted doesn't necessarily lead to good results. You can be soft-hearted in front of him, but for some things, you have to be a little ruthless to have a chance to survive."
