Full-Time Magister: Dark Lord

"Brother Mu Hua, I came to your Mu family for Mu Nuxin. Didn't you and the old man promise me the same thing? That's why I've been working like a slave for you all these years. But in the end, just because Dongfang Lie is a substitute for the National Team, you're betrothing Mu Nuxin to him? What do you take me for!" the young man said, somewhat embarrassed and angry.

"Tsk tsk, you aristocratic families really know how to rip people off." Mo Fan said, looking at Dongfang Lie.

“He’s just daydreaming,” Dongfang Lie said with a shrug.

"Let's go inside." Cao Le had no interest in watching this melodramatic scene.

Moreover, this young man is no good either.

The group nodded, and then they went inside, not to find Mu Nujiao, but to head straight for the main hall.

This main hall was where the two powerful families discussed important matters. When Cao Le and his group of four entered, the elders of the Dongfang family and some elders of the Mu family were all taken aback...

Wasn't Dongfang Lie here to propose marriage today?

Why does it feel like I'm playing a supporting role?

When Mu Nujiao's grandfather saw Cao Le, he was also taken aback...

Mu Shan stood up, and Dongfang Mo, the representative of the Dongfang family, also stood up.

"Cao Le, what brings you here?"

When Mu Shan spoke, many people were stunned.

On the contrary, Dongfang Mo, who had been somewhat displeased before, now showed no signs of dissatisfaction.

"I heard you discovered a fire vein here, but you can't figure it out, so I came here."

Even if someone intends to share the spoils, they wouldn't usually say it so openly.

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Mo and some elders of the Dongfang family, as well as some elders of the Mu family, all showed unfriendly expressions.

Instead, Mu Shan asked, "How can you be so sure that we can't solve this, and that we'll get your Cao family involved?"

"Well, of course it's because I'm confident I can get in, and once this vein is mined, I can sell it on my territory. You guys don't know that the Cao family is currently building a base city, do you?"

Upon hearing Cao Le's words, Mu Shan looked at Dongfang Mo and asked, "Brother Mo, what do you think?"

"As for this matter, I still need to consult the family head..." Dongfang Mo said after a moment's hesitation.

"No rush, once you've thought it through, just go to the Cao family and talk to Mu Ningxue," Cao Le replied.

He was only here to mention it briefly; how to proceed is a matter for the Mu and Dongfang families. But one thing is certain: they won't refuse. After all, it's a good thing for them as well.

Cao Le then sat down in another living room with Zhao Manyan and Mo Fan. As for family heirs like Dongfang Lie, they were naturally left in the main hall.

“I used to think you were as brainless as Mo Fan, but I didn’t expect you to know how to fight for your family’s interests,” Zhao Manyan said as he sat down.

Mo Fan, who was singled out, was immediately displeased!

What the hell? Don't you have a brain?

“I don’t really understand these things.” Cao Le shook his head and continued, “But I don’t know, but we can let Mu Ningxue discuss it slowly. Anyway, she knows a lot about these things.”

"Da da da..."

Just as the three of them were sitting down, a slight sound came from nearby.

The three turned around and saw Mu Nujiao and a woman walking over.

The woman wore a retro long dress decorated with some modern patterns. Without any extra embellishments, she was simply elegant and incredibly beautiful!

"Sister, is this my future brother-in-law?" the woman asked Mu Nujiao, looking at Cao Le sitting there.

Mu Nujiao blushed slightly...

What brother-in-law... he's not...."

Mu Nujiao knew perfectly well that this guy had no intention of marrying her at all.

Of course, or perhaps he never even considered marrying anyone.

“I’m very satisfied with how you address me. If there’s anyone you don’t like in the future, you can tell me, and I can help you deal with them,” Cao Le replied, standing up.

Mu Nuxin is also a great beauty, and she has a completely different charm from Mu Nujiao!

Of course, he said this only as a greeting gift to his sister-in-law.

"Hehehe~~ Then I'll take it seriously, thank you brother-in-law first~" Mu Nuxin's gaze fell on Cao Le, she smiled at him slightly, her eyes were full of flirtatious waves but without a trace of excessive staring.

"Why did you come here instead of going to the main hall to discuss important matters?" Cao Le asked again.

“Nu Xin said she wants to see you,” Mu Nu Jiao said.

"Then I'll head over first. Brother-in-law, please have a seat." Mu Nuxin said, and then left.

Just as Mu Nujiao was about to leave, Cao Le pulled her into his arms.

"What are you doing~" Mu Nujiao said shyly.

"At times like these, it's inconvenient for you to go over, so just stay here to avoid any trouble later."

Mu Nuxin glanced at the two of them. Although Cao Le's actions were somewhat against the rules, she knew him to some extent. Mu Nuxin didn't say anything and turned to leave.

"I don't get involved in family matters..." Mu Nujiao said softly.

She just went to take a look, and even if she wanted to get involved, she couldn't get involved at all.

"Whether you get involved or not, there's something wrong with you labeling me like that," Cao Le continued.

Mu Nujiao agreed. In fact, she knew that in the past, she would inevitably speak up for Cao Le.

Seeing his reaction, Mu Nujiao wondered if Cao Le really didn't need it.

She stood up from his lap and sat down beside him.

The four chatted for a while, and then Mu Nujiao took them around the Mu family's residence. The matter was already settled when the dinner was being arranged.

It was almost exactly as Cao Le had imagined.

However, when to depart and how to negotiate profit sharing with the Cao family will take some time, and they just need to wait for notification.

Before leaving the Mu family, Cao Le was called away by Mu Shan for a chat... Actually, the two didn't have much to talk about, just some everyday family matters.

In Mu Nujiao's family, the only person Cao Le remembered was her sister-in-law, Mu Nuxin.

This girl is definitely a businesswoman; her words are as sweet as honey.

...

369. Siren Scout - Stain Hunter

Inside the Azure Sky Hunting Grounds...

Upon their return, they came here. Lingling, with her brilliant mind, was the perfect person to go to a place like this.

Even if her magic hasn't awakened yet, so what?

Sometimes, having a clever mind is just as useful as having ability alone.

"That sounds dangerous, Mo Fan, you'd better be careful..."

When Zhao Manyan heard what Mo Fan said, he spoke with a worried expression.

"What do you mean? You're not going to come with me?" Mo Fan asked back.

"Nonsense, why would I go looking for my death with you?"

Zhao Manyan pondered...

Even if they survive jumping into the fire pit, only Mo Fan and Cao Le will reap the profits, right?

It has absolutely nothing to do with Zhao, so why would he go there? Is he looking for death...?

"You think I'm your brother? I'd jump into a fire pit and you wouldn't come? Do you believe I'll tell Guan Xixi right now that a pretty girl drove your Lamborghini to your building at 11 pm last night?" Mo Fan continued.

"???"

Zhao Manyan looked puzzled, then looked at Mo Fan with a puzzled expression.

"We did drink that day, and we weren't with Cao Le and the others afterwards, so what nonsense are you talking about?"

"Cao Le, is he with us?" Mo Fan turned to look at Cao Le.

"No."

Cao Le replied without hesitation.

"So, Zhao Manyan, do you think you can explain this clearly?" Mo Fan looked at Zhao Manyan again.

"Knowing you two is absolutely the greatest misfortune of my life!!!" Zhao Manyan felt like he had been tricked again!

Although he could choose to break up, Guan Xixi felt they could continue dating for a while longer...

Ultimately, Zhao Manyan was forced to join the journey into the fire pit...

...

Cao Le returned to the Cao family compound once again. He saw roads everywhere, unfinished buildings everywhere, steel bars everywhere, machinery everywhere, construction sorcerers, urban landscaping engineers everywhere, groups of soldiers everywhere, merchants moving goods everywhere, and sorcerers searching for opportunities everywhere...

Although I knew it would be like this, it's still quite rare to see another transformation in just a few months.

When he returned, he saw Shaoyu hurrying out of Cao Family Manor.

Behind Shaoyu, there were several groups of mages.

Cao Le asked in confusion, "Where are you going? Why are you in such a hurry?"

“It’s the Stain Hunters… Our ships are at sea, surrounded by them, and we need reinforcements immediately. Your return is just in time, perfect for us to go together,” Shao Yu replied.

After saying that, he pulled Cao Le along and walked towards the entrance of the city embankment.

After boarding the ship and quickly assembling a team, Shao Yu explained, "The Scum Hunters are a very insidious and vicious type of sea monster. They are the scouts of the sea monsters, as well as their despicable killers. Recently, we discovered that the Scum Hunters were spying on our new city, so I issued a bounty and led several hunting teams to deal with them. These people just sent us a signal to return, but who knew that they would be ambushed and surrounded by the Scum Hunters just as they were about to enter our safe waters. It seems that the fleeing Scum Hunters called for a lot of reinforcements and knew that our people would return from here, so they intercepted them here."

"Oh, it's nothing, just take care of it while you're at it," Cao Le nodded and said.

Shao Yu paused...

In the end, he couldn't say anything, as if to Cao Le, these words from the siren really meant nothing.

"Crack~!"

"You bastard, what time is it, and you still have the mind to take advantage of others!"

Just as Shaoyu was lost in thought, she felt...
