The Legend of Muxian

Chapter 226: Chapter 99
In the Wutong Garden of Mu Mansion in Yiyang City, Luo Jing is drawing the talisman in her hand with a concentrated expression. She has just advanced to the late stage of Jindan and is trying to draw a high-level talisman.Ning Xin stood at the gate of the yard, looking at the demure and gentle mother through the door and window, feeling very peaceful and content in her heart.

The maid who was cleaning the yard saw a female cultivator in Tsing Yi standing at the gate of the courtyard, staring straight at the lady by the window, and didn't come in. Just about to ask aloud, the female cultivator stopped her, "Hush!"

Ning Xin walked into the room quietly, came behind her mother, covered her eyes with her hands, and whispered in her ear, "Guess who I am?"

"Apart from my Xin'er, who else would do this!" Luo Jing smiled and pulled Ning Xin's hands down, earnestly looking at her daughter whom she hadn't seen for many years.

"Mother, I miss you so much, have you been well all these years?" Ning Xin leaned into Luo Jing's arms and said affectionately.

"You girl, you've been out for decades, and my mother is so worried! You haven't come back for so long, of course mother misses you!" Luo Jing patted Ning Xin's junior and said softly.

"This time it was an accident, I won't go out for so long in the future!"

"You, you can only talk about it verbally, and I'm afraid it won't be up to you then! But you are like this, mother is used to it, no matter where you are, as long as you are okay!"

"Mother, don't worry, I will take good care of myself when I go out to practice."

"Remember what you said!"

This time when she returned to the Mu Mansion, Ning Xin was not in a hurry to return to the Tianyi School. Anyway, for her now, it is the same everywhere. There is space. She is not afraid that she will not have enough spiritual energy to support her cultivation. She plans to spend more time with her mother.

In the courtyard of the patriarch of the Mu Mansion, the patriarch Mu Qian was discussing with the elders in the clan how to distribute the things obtained from the site of Shangguan Xuandaozong, when the chief steward walked in hurriedly, stood beside him and whispered, "Patriarch, the concierge People say that Miss Ning Xin is back!"

"Who's back?" Mu Qian didn't realize it all at once, and the other elders in the clan also looked at the official.

"It's Miss Ning Xin, she's back!" the official said loudly.

"Ning Xin? Where is she now?"

"I went to Mrs. Jing's yard!"

"Ning Xin is back, how long has it been since this girl returned to Mu's Mansion?" the elder said, "Did Shui Lan girl also come back?"

"The concierge didn't see Ms. Shui Lan, only Miss Ning Xin!" The steward replied, and he only found out after hearing the concierge's summons. Since Miss Ning Xin was stopped by the second housekeeper when she returned home last time, he has learned a lesson. Afterwards, when the doorman heard that the person claiming to be Mu Ningxin did not dare to stop him, he immediately sent a message to himself to report.

"Ning Xin seems to spend a lot of time every time she practices. She hasn't been seen for more than ten or twenty years, and she doesn't know how she is doing now? How is her cultivation? Can she compare to Ning Yue?" The elder said with no deep meaning.

"Go and call Ning Xin and ask her to visit the elders of the clan!" After hearing what the second elder said, Mu Qian thought for a moment and ordered to the housekeeper.

When the butler came to Wutong Garden, Luo Jing was teaching Ning Xin to draw talismans. The mother and daughter were enjoying themselves so happily that the butler couldn't bother them, but thinking of the elders in the clan who were still waiting for Miss Ning Xin, he stepped forward and said, "I've seen Madam Jing, I've seen Miss Ning Xin!"

"Is there anything the butler can do?" Ning Xin raised her head to glance at the visitor, she had noticed him before he entered Wutong Garden, asked lightly, then lowered her head and began to draw the talisman again.

"The patriarch and the elders in the clan heard that Miss Ning Xin is back, and want to see you!" The housekeeper said more respectfully than before, and he found that Miss Ning Xin's aura is stronger than before. Don't dare to offend me.

"Oh, then wait for a while!" Ning Xin continued to draw the talisman without raising her head.

"Ning Xin, go with the housekeeper to meet the elders of the clan first, and then draw after you come back!" Luo Jing took the talisman brush away from Ning Xin's hand, and the talisman that Ning Xin was drawing in her hand was wasted in an instant.

Seeing her mother looking at her seriously, Ning Xin reluctantly followed the butler and left Wutong Garden.

"Housekeeper, how have the clan been all these years when I haven't come back?"

"Miss Hui, everything is fine in the clan!"

"That's good. By the way, I heard that there is another second housekeeper in the mansion. How is he doing now?"

"The second housekeeper is only responsible for taking care of the affairs of the second master's courtyard, and I am still in charge of other affairs in the mansion."

"This should be Grandpa's arrangement. Fortunately, there is still a sensible person in the family. Letting such a person manage things is really embarrassing to the Mu family!"

The housekeeper did not dare to agree with Ning Xin's words. Everyone in the Mu family knew that the second housekeeper was Mrs. Ruyi's confidant, and Mrs. Ruyi was so favored by the second master. Depending on what the patriarch meant, the position of the patriarch would probably be passed on to the second master in the future. Yes, he can't offend the second housekeeper.

Ning Xin didn't say much about the butler's silence, but just sneered in her heart. These are people from the aristocratic family, and they can be clearly distinguished.

When he came to the patriarch's courtyard and looked at Ning Xin who walked into the room, the housekeeper let out a long breath and wiped the sweat from his forehead. He felt that being with Miss Ning Xin made him more nervous than being with the patriarch. Made him break out in a cold sweat.

"Ning Xin pays my respects to Grandpa and all the elders!" Entering the room, Ning Xin greeted all the elders respectfully.

"That's right, girl Ning Xin, I haven't seen you for many years, and my cultivation has reached the peak of the early stage of Golden Core!" The Great Elder said loudly with a smile.

"Hehe, it's just a fluke for the Great Elder!" Because of Mu Shuilan's relationship, Ning Xin has a good sense of the Great Elder.

"Uh, don't be humble, if you don't practice hard, chances won't be close to you!"

"That's right. I used to think that Ning Yue was the most outstanding child of our Mu family, but I didn't expect that you would catch up with Ning Xin not long after! Mu Yang, you really gave birth to two excellent daughters." The second elder also laughed. It's just that his words made everyone present feel a little uncomfortable, especially Mu Yang who was named.

"Thank you for the second elder's compliment, I will continue to work hard." Although the second elder's words were not pleasant, Ning Xin replied with a smile.

"Mu Yang, do you think your daughter is better, or Ning Yue?" Mu Yang's silence seemed to dissatisfy the second elder, so he deliberately asked Mu Yang.

"Both of them are excellent!" Mu Yang said sullenly.

"That's right, our Mu family is really lucky to have their two sisters!" The First Elder eased the situation a bit awkwardly.

"Hehe, girl Xin, which one do you think is better, you or Ning Yue?" The second elder turned to look at Ning Xin and asked.

"Second Elder, who is stronger, Mu Ningyue or I, do you think it is important? If you let outsiders think you are powerful, are you really powerful?"

"Do you think it's not important? You see, when outsiders mention Miss Mu Fu, everyone only knows about Ning Yue. It seems that few people know about you! I think being well-known is also a sign of her strength!"

Ning Xin stared at the second elder for a while before slowly saying, "My master told me a long time ago that the journey of cultivation is very long, and there are countless ups and downs. Cultivators don't need to be tight Focus on a certain stage, and you don’t need to be compared with some insignificant people. When you defeat others, it doesn’t mean anything other than your strength. Only by constantly defeating yourself can a monk win the final victory. If a monk can’t win Dao, so what if you are number one in the world? Second Elder, do you think my master is right? I don’t think it’s so good to be known and praised by others, and I’m not a monkey for people to laugh at.”
