At this moment, Mu Xu, Mu Qinghe, and the other five people had taken some spiritual liquids and pills, and they looked much better. Upon Ye Wushuang’s question, all five of them wore expressions of astonishment.
It seemed as if…
Ye Wushuang was quite concerned about Mu Qingjun?
Mu Xu coughed and said, “Prince Ye, are you very familiar with the Mu family?”
Upon hearing this, Ye Wushuang realized he had been a bit too eager and smiled, saying, “The Tianxuan Continent, located to the east of the Tianyuan Continent, is a medium-sized continent. I have always heard that the great families of the Tianxuan Continent possess remarkable strength, so I have paid some attention, but I am not very well-informed…”
Mu Xu then said, “That’s correct. On the Tianxuan Continent, there are four great families: the Xuan family, the Bai family, the Mu family, and the Wu family.”
Ye Wushuang continued, “Could you please tell me more about the current situation on the Tianxuan Continent?”
Mu Xu nodded with a smile.
After all, Ye Wushuang had just saved their lives.
“Nowadays, among the four great families, the Xuan family is the strongest, followed by the Bai family, then the Wu family, and our Mu family is the last.”
Mu Xu smiled and said, “I suppose Prince Ye is particularly interested in the Mu family.”
After a moment of contemplation, Mu Xu continued.
Some information could be easily obtained through careful inquiries, so Mu Xu did not mention anything too secretive.
“Currently, the Bai family’s clan leader is Bai Chengtian, and the clan leader’s wife is Mu Qingjun. Mu Qingjun is the sister of our Mu family’s clan leader, Mu Xingwen, and also the great-aunt of Qinghe and me.”
“Bai Chengtian of the Bai family is considered the first generation figure. The second generation includes several core members, who are the children of Clan Leader Bai Chengtian.”
“The eldest daughter is Bai Qiyun!”
“The second son is Bai Xingjian.”
“The third son is Bai Haoran.”
“The fourth son is Bai Haoyan!”
Mu Xu continued in a gentle manner, “Bai Haoyan married Mu Wenrui, the daughter of our Mu family’s clan leader.”
Huh?
“Wait a minute!”
Yu Yourong, who was sitting nearby, asked curiously, “Your Mu family’s current clan leader’s sister is Mu Qingjun. She married Bai Chengtian, the clan leader of the Bai family, and they had four children. Mu Qingjun’s son married his own niece?”
The relationship seemed a bit complicated.
Mu Xu chuckled and said, “This is not a secret. Aunt Wenrui is not my grandfather’s biological daughter. She is the daughter of one of my grandfather’s close friends from his past, and she has been raised by my grandfather since she was young.”
“I see…” Yu Yourong said nothing more.
In fact, she was also quite curious about the Tianxuan Continent.
Mu Xu continued, “In our Mu family, my grandfather, Mu Xingwen, has been in charge for many years.”
“My grandfather’s eldest son is Uncle Mu Changxing.”
“The second son is Mu Beige.”
“The third daughter is Mu Wenrui.”
“The fourth son is Mu Yangshuo, who is the father of Qinghe and me.”
At this point, Mu Xu’s expression turned somewhat nostalgic as he said, “Actually, in the past, the Bai and Mu families were the strongest. Back then, my father’s generation was similar to ours, considered the third generation of the Mu family.”
“My second uncle, Mu Beige, had exceptional talent and was known as one of the ‘Tianxuan Twin Stars’ along with Uncle Bai Haoran from the Bai family!”
“In their youth, both of them achieved the Sacred Heavenly Realm, which was far more impressive than their siblings and even the older generation within the clan…”
“Unfortunately, fate was unkind. For some unknown reason, Uncle Bai Haoran suddenly died!”
“And my second uncle…”
At this point, Mu Xu’s expression turned somewhat gloomy.
“What happened to your second uncle?”
Ye Wushuang’s heart was in his throat.
“He also died…” Mu Xu said with a sorrowful expression. “I don’t know the exact details of what happened, and our Mu family has never mentioned a single word about it to outsiders!”
“We younger generations have no idea about the reasons behind it!”
Mu Xu continued, “The successive deaths of these two prodigies caused the once-thriving Bai and Mu families to stagnate. Later on, the Xuan and Wu families rose steadily, and the situation on the Tianxuan Continent underwent tremendous changes!”
Ye Wushuang spoke up, “As far as I know, a few thousand years ago, the Xuan family was considered the weakest among the four great families, right?”
“Yes…” Mu Qinghe chimed in, “But nowadays, the Xuan family is teeming with talents and geniuses, and it has become very powerful.”
“It is said that the current Xuan family clan leader, Xuan Tongce, has already reached the level of the Innate Sacred Realm!”
Xuan Tongce!
The Xuan family clan leader?
Ye Wushuang couldn’t help but say, “I once heard that among your grandfathers’ generation, Xuan Tongce… was not outstanding…”
“That’s right.” Mu Xu continued, “Back then, my grandfather was part of the second generation of the family. Among the peers from various families, Xuan Tongce was the least remarkable one. But now… he has become the most formidable one.”
“Life is full of uncertainties. Who can predict such things!”
Ye Wushuang fell into a moment of silence.
Eight thousand years ago, his seventh avatar was reincarnated in the Bai family on the Tianxuan Continent.
Bai Haoran was the person his seventh avatar was reincarnated into.
At that time, his father, Bai Chengtian, was an outstanding figure among the second generation and took over the position of clan leader, which did not surprise Ye Wushuang.
But…
In the blink of an eye, thousands of years had passed, and Xuan Tongce from the Xuan family had become the most outstanding among the four clan leaders of the great families!
This was indeed strange!
Ye Wushuang looked at Mu Xu and Mu Wenrui and couldn’t help but ask, “What do you mean by coming to the Burial Sage Cave to find the Ziwēi Blood Ginseng to save Mu Qingjun?”
Bai Chengtian, the clan leader of the Bai family.
Mu Qingjun, the clan leader’s wife.
These were the biological parents of Ye Wushuang’s seventh life.
Although it was his avatar’s reincarnation, it was still his life!
Just like the Ye family in the Qingyun Empire, the Bai family was also his family.
After thousands of years, upon returning to find his seventh life’s mother in crisis, Ye Wushuang could not remain calm.
Upon hearing Ye Wushuang’s question, Mu Xu and Mu Qinghe exchanged glances, looking quite hesitant.
“Is there anything you can’t say?”
Mu Xu shook his head and said, “It’s not that. It’s just… we are not very clear about our great-aunt’s situation. Our fathers know more, but they don’t tell us in detail…”
“As for the Ziwēi Blood Ginseng, it is said to only prolong our great-aunt’s lifespan, not to completely cure her.”
“In recent years, both the Bai and Mu families have sought out spiritual alchemists on the Tianxuan Continent and beyond to try to cure our great-aunt, but all attempts have been unsuccessful…”
Ye Wushuang’s voice turned stern as he said, “Even if the Bai family is not as strong as it used to be, it is still one of the most powerful forces on the Tianxuan Continent. Who would dare to harm the clan leader’s wife? That would be like making an enemy of the entire Bai family!”
When Ye Wushuang said this, both Mu Xu and Mu Qinghe were taken aback.
Even Yu Yourong, who was sitting nearby, had a stunned expression.
It was really because just now, Ye Wushuang’s expression and tone seemed a bit… overly concerned.
If someone from the Bai or Mu family said this, it wouldn’t be a problem.
But for someone from the Tianyuan Continent to say it in such a tone was truly quite strange.
