1037 Alchemist Lu’s Terrifying Influence (7)
“Patriarch Cao, aren’t you being too irresponsible? Don’t forget that it was your Cao family who pulled our two families on board in the beginning. Now that something has happened to us, you’re just going overboard!”
“Patriarch Cao, to put it bluntly, our three families are now in the same boat. We’re bound together for better or for worse. If anything happens to our two families, your Cao family will definitely not be well too.”
“Patriarch Cao, now is not the time to act on impulse. We know that we didn’t listen to your suggestion back then, but you can’t blame us for that, right? Moreover, it’s just a small new Mu family. As long as the three of us work together, it’ll be easy to get rid of the new Mu family.”
“Moreover, it’s just a small new Mu family. As long as the three of us work together, it’ll be easy to get rid of the new Mu family.”
“That’s right, Patriarch Cao. Now that First Elder Cao is in seclusion, you’re the only one left in charge of the Cao family. You can’t ignore us!”
Actually, if the Cao family didn’t do anything, the Gu family and the Mu family could still deal with the new Mu family if they joined forces.
However, they were also worried that their families would suffer a huge loss if they went against the new Mu family.
At that time, the Cao family would benefit from it. Their losses would not make up for their gains.
That was why they came to the Cao family, forcing the Cao family to deal with the new Mu family with them.
However, Master Cao didn’t fall for their tricks.
“I’m afraid you don’t understand. From the beginning, I’ve never agreed to this matter. The one who pulled you on board has always been the First Elder, and you’ve always followed her lead. Now that something has happened, you came to me for help. Don’t you think it’s ridiculous?”
As he spoke, Master Cao stood up and tidied his clothes. He glanced coldly at everyone present. “You should go and find the person you should be looking for. I won’t accompany you anymore!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the Cao family head flicked his sleeves and left.
Looking at the departing figure of the Cao family head, the expressions of the people who were left behind were very ugly.
“What do you think?”
There was a long silence in the living room. The head of the Gu family was the first to break the silence and ask everyone present.
“What else can we do? The new Mu family has gone too far. They don’t care about our three families at all. We can’t just let it go!”
“That’s right. The new Mu family dared to cripple our three families’ disciples. That’s a blatant provocation to our three families!
“If our three families don’t do anything, the people outside won’t take us seriously at all. In the future, what foothold will our three families have in the martial arts world?!”
Actually, what made them the most angry was not the so-called reward from the new Mu family. Instead, it was those small factions and families that they had never taken seriously in the past. They actually dared to go against the three families for that small benefit. It was simply infuriating!
It wasn’t that they hadn’t thought of capturing a small faction to make an example out of them.
However, the culprits were like slippery loaches, making them unable to catch them even if they wanted to. They were so angry that they almost had a heart attack.
“Second Elder Cao, Third Elder Cao, only the two of you can make the decision now. Shouldn’t you give us an explanation?”
An elder of the Gu family suddenly targeted the Second Elder and Third Elder of the Cao family, who were sitting silently.
The Second Elder and Third Elder of the Cao family frowned and looked at each other.
A moment later, he said, “Our family head is right. Since this matter was caused by our First Elder, she should be the one to speak. If there’s anything, let’s wait for her to come out of seclusion!”
