Chapter 54: Entrustment
At the entrance of Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
A few days passed quickly, and the exchange meeting came to an end.
The deans and leading teachers of several academies gathered at the door, talking non-stop about Mu Ci and the girls.
Mu Changsheng looked at his grandson, who was surrounded, and said:
"Bing'er's aunt came to see me the day before yesterday and told me about you and the two girls in her family."
"I agreed, but the girls are still young. If there are no changes in the future, we will decide then."
Having said that, Mu Changsheng glared at his eldest grandson.
His family had always been devoted and dedicated to their partners, showing pure love for them. How come there was a playboy in this generation? But it was okay this way, as it could be considered as strengthening the family.
Mu Ci was inexplicably glared at several times, which made him look confused. He didn't know what had made the old man angry, but he nodded and said in a voice transmission:
"Grandpa, doesn't the Elemental Academy want to avoid getting involved in the disputes between the major forces? Our family has a close relationship with the Spirit Hall."
Mu Changsheng nodded slightly and replied, "That's reasonable, but you've already kidnapped the little girls, what else can you do?"
"Moreover, even if several academies unite, it will be because of you, my Mu family, and the Botanical Academy, and it has little to do with the Spirit Hall."
"Actually, they have no choice but to do this. Although many forces will try to win them over, they are actually not in a good position to please anyone. Otherwise, apart from the Thunder Academy, there would be no signs of the few other factions uniting together."
"The combined power of the several major families is definitely stronger than the power of the four lower sects alone, and they can also ensure their own safety in the face of the oppression of the major forces."
"But there's no rush for this kind of thing. It hasn't reached that stage yet, so don't think about it."
Mu Ci listened to Mu Changsheng's voice transmission and sighed secretly.
Hadn't it reached that point? He was afraid they wouldn't be able to have peace for a few more years.
But with him around, the Heavenly Soul Empire would definitely not develop as it did in the original novel.
At this time, Shui Yun'er walked up to Mu Ci and said sternly, "Mu Ci, I'm leaving Bing'er and Yu'er in your care. If they are wronged in any way, I…!"
Before Shui Yun'er could finish her warning, Shui Bing'er grabbed her hand.
Shui Bing'er looked at Mu Ci with a gentle expression and said to Shui Yun'er shyly, "Aunt, I believe he won't."
"Aunt Yun'er, don't worry. In two years, I will definitely give you two even better nieces. They will definitely surprise Tianshui Academy."
Mu Ci patted his chest and spoke to Shui Yun'er with confidence.
"Ahem!"
A loud cough sounded in everyone's ears. It was Huo Wu's grandfather Huo Nu clearing his throat in an exaggerated manner.
Mu Ci immediately understood and assured Huo Nu, "Grandpa Huo Nu, I will also take care of Huo Wu, so you can rest assured!"
Huo Wu, who was originally standing quietly next to Huo Nu, suddenly had her pretty face as white as jade turn pink.
Some things, when put out in the open and said in front of everyone, still made her feel a little embarrassed.
Huo Nu nodded in satisfaction but still warned, like Shui Yun'er did: "I know you and Huo Wu are getting along very well these past few days.
But I still want to warn you, you are still young, and I hope you will restrain yourself in some things. Don't wait until you come home in a few years and bring me a great-grandson."
What Huo Nu said was not an exaggeration but a normal reminder based on the situation in Douluo Continent.
It was common for ordinary people to get married and have children at the age of thirteen or fourteen. Soul masters might be a little later due to their cultivation, but this kind of thing did happen.
This kind of thing was too common in Douluo Continent.
Huo Wu no longer cared about being shy and hit her grandfather's waist hard with her elbow.
The only things between her and Mu Ci now were holding hands and hugging each other; how could they do such a thing?
"Grandpa, what nonsense are you talking about!"
The few girls present were irritated by Huo Nu's words. They blushed shyly and lowered their heads, not daring to look at the crowd.
How could they possibly think so far ahead? Right now, they simply had feelings for each other. Things like what Huo Nu said had never even crossed their minds.
However, after this reminder, their thoughts immediately drifted away.
Shui Yun'er on the side showed an expression of great approval. There were things that children had not considered, and it was necessary for adults like them to remind them.
At this moment, a team of royal guards came running from the periphery of the crowd and drew everyone's attention over there.
The captain of the guards stepped forward respectfully and saluted everyone, then turned his gaze to the only Titled Douluo present.
"Greetings to His Majesty Eternal Heaven. I am here on the orders of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to invite Master Mu Ci. Please come to the Crown Prince's residence in two days."
The captain of the guards said this and turned his attention to Mu Ci in the crowd.
Mu Ci and Mu Changsheng looked at each other, nodded, and looked at the captain of the guards.
"Thank you, Captain, for the message. Please tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that I will be there on time."
Although he responded to the invitation, Mu Ci was still a little confused about Xue Qinghe's invitation.
He had met and chatted with Xue Qinghe occasionally these days, but they just exchanged pleasantries and didn't talk much further.
He wondered what the young lady was thinking this time.
But it didn't matter. Even if he chatted openly with the other party, nothing would happen to him.
After all, he had a close relationship with the Spirit Hall and belonged to the same camp as that young lady.
After receiving a positive answer, the captain of the guards saluted on the spot, withdrew his team, and left the crowd.
"Okay, it's almost dark, so let's stop here. I believe Mu Ci will take good care of the girls."
"As for safety, you don't have to worry. We still have Poison Douluo in Heaven Dou City, so there will be no problem."
Mu Changsheng looked at the sky and felt that it was pointless to continue chatting, so he spoke to everyone.
Huo Nu and Shui Yun'er also nodded. In fact, they had gotten to know Mu Ci a little bit in the past few days. Apart from being a little fickle, he didn't seem like the kind of person who would bully girls.
But as an elder, you still had to say what needed to be said.
Mu Ci and the other girls said goodbye to their elders and watched the Academy's convoy gradually move away from Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Shui Yu'er looked at Mu Ci curiously and asked, "Brother-in-law, where are we going next?"
Although thanks to their connections, they could still live in Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
But Mu Ci said he would take them to practice, so it was obviously unlikely to happen here.
Shui Yu'er's question obviously aroused the interest of Huo Wu and Shui Bing'er as well.
Although everyone put their feelings for Mu Ci first, as soul masters, their pursuit of strength was also extremely high.
Mu Ci touched Shui Yu'er's little head and said with a smile:
"Haven't you been curious about where I helped Senior Dugu detoxify?"
"This time, I will take you to see the Yin-Yang Ice and Fire Eyes, a unique and precious treasure in the entire continent."
"When the time comes, I have a gift for you."
