I want to be innocent, but they don't allow me

Chapter 387: An old man in the family is like a treasure.

Hearing Ge Peining's thoughtfulness, although Li Mu felt guilty, he still didn't plan to waste these twenty days.

I just promise that I will come back before the flowers bloom.

But before that, what Li Mu had to do first was to go to the clan territory of the Manwu clan again.

Although he had shown his strength before, the Manwu clan would not easily provoke him.

But don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the eventuality.

Although Ge Peining's strength is strong enough, so strong that even Li Mu is a little envious.

The sound-illusion body, combined with the music-sacrificing technique given by Qiu He, and the mysterious and bizarre means of releasing poison.

If Li Mu was not immune to all poisons, he might have been tricked.

While thinking, Li Mu came to the outside of the courtyard again.

But the scene in the room made Li Mu stunned for a long while.

"Father! Why are you tying me up?"

In the room, Miao Zhu was tied up and thrown in the middle.

On the side were Old Man Miao and the woman named Miao Cuifen, both with frustrated and helpless expressions on their faces.

"Father, are we really just going to let this matter go?"

Miao Cuifen seemed to feel a little sorry for her younger brother and asked in a low voice.

"Father, it doesn't matter if that kid hits me, but he dares to insult father, the dignified chief of the Manwu clan..."

"you shut up!"

Hearing what Miao Zhu said, Old Man Miao became even angrier and cursed,

"Are you doing that for your father?"

"But he insulted my father and..."

"So what if I'm insulted! You don't even know how they did it!"

Old Man Miao looked very disappointed with his son and his face became increasingly gloomy.

"Azhu, why don't you apologize to father quickly? Look how angry you made father!"

Seeing this, Miao Cuifen quickly spoke up to smooth things over.

Originally, she came back in a hurry after dealing with the affairs of the clan.

Unexpectedly, when he came back, he saw Miao Zhu and his son applying medicine to each other.

After learning the whole story, I didn't know what to do.

The Wuman clan is different from the other two clans. The other two clans have ancestors with unfathomable strength in charge.

There are only the Wuman clan, and only a few of them.

Twenty years ago, six ancestors went deep into the Poisonous Valley, and in the end only her grandfather came back.

Even Jiang Nu, the witch doctor, was helpless to treat the injuries on his body.

In the end, it was Ge Lao, who had traveled here, who came to the rescue. Although his life was saved, only one tenth of his strength remained.

From then on, the Wuman clan became the weakest of the three clans.

In recent years, the situation has improved slightly because of the twin flowers, which can be used to exchange some benefits with the other two veins.

But what she never expected was that even Miao Zhu's marriage would be negotiated using these twin flowers.

"Father, the Bai family..."

Miao Cuifen probed carefully.

Over the years, her younger brother has been neither high nor low in his career, so her father passed the position of clan leader to him early on.

What we hope is that he can continue the Miao family's bloodline as soon as possible.

However, he looked down upon ordinary women in the tribe.

He was attracted by the outstanding women from the other two clans, and he looked down on neither the Manwu clan nor the Miao Zhu clan.

When she learned that the Bai family of the Yiwu clan was willing to marry their youngest daughter to her, she didn't know how long she was happy.

Now that he knows the truth, he has no idea what to feel. It’s funny that Miao Zhu was not happy about it before.

"Father, instead of exchanging Twins for such a skinny little girl, it would be better to just marry Bai Ming..."

At this time, Miao Zhu heard Miao Cuifen mention the Bai family again and hurriedly spoke. However, before he could finish his words, Miao's father slapped him in the face and cursed,

"You beast! If you have those evil thoughts again, my Manwu clan will be destroyed by you sooner or later!"

Father Miao took a deep breath, looked at Miao Cuifen, and said calmly:

"You go and explain to the Bai family that the descendants of the Medical Saint Ge have arrived. The twins cannot be handed over to the Bai family. If they are willing, in the next few years, my Manwu clan will do our best to pick them for them."

"If you don't want to..."

Father Miao sighed and said slowly,

"The marriage is over, and we will bear all the consequences."

Old Man Miao knew clearly that neither Li Mu nor the other two branches were people that the current Manwu clan could afford to offend.

In particular, he learned from Miao Cuifen that when they had fought with Li Mu before, they vaguely felt that Li Mu seemed to be using the Mohist mentality, but it seemed not quite the same.

Old Man Miao has lived for a long time, so of course he knows what it is.

The Mohist mental method is different from that of ordinary Mohist disciples. It is the only set of skills that is rumored to be practiced by only the great masters of the Mohist school.

In addition, Li Mu’s current age and strength.

Father Miao can be sure that Li Mu is 99% likely to be the future successor of the Mohist School and the next generation of Mohist tycoon.

Fortunately, Father Miao knew very well that the people of the Mo family were very reasonable. If Miao Zhu had not spoken rudely before and claimed to covet other people's wives, he and his son would not have been so embarrassed.

Thinking of this, Father Miao glared at Miao Zhu fiercely. It was a pity that he only had this one son. Seeing Miao Cuifen had already walked to the door, he quickly opened his mouth and said:

"If, if the Bai family is unwilling, you can go to the east of the village and look for Gui Nuwa to see if she is willing to live with us."

"Father!"

Hearing this, Miao Zhu was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and quickly shouted.

There are three surnames in the Manwu clan, Miao, Wu and Duan. Duan Guifang is from the Duan family and had been engaged to Miao Zhu since childhood.

The two of them were childhood sweethearts, but unfortunately Miao Zhu's perspective had changed since he met Ge Peining.

In addition, he later became the patriarch of the entire Manwu clan, and he directly rejected this marriage.

Duan Guifang later married the eldest son of the Wu family. Unfortunately, the eldest son of the Wu family died in the valley two years ago.

But there are also rumors that Wu Jia Dalang's health deteriorated day by day after he married Duan Guifang, so he could not resist the poisonous miasma.

Old Man Miao turned his head and was about to attack again. Miao Cuifen quickly stepped forward, stopped Old Man Miao and said:

"Sister Gui was originally engaged to our Ah Zhu, and our family was wronged by him. Now that Sister Gui's husband is dead, she is an orphan and a widow, so it is only right for us to take care of her."

"Hmph!" Old Man Miao snorted coldly, looked at Miao Zhu fiercely, and said in a light tone,

"It would be best if Miss Gui could like you, and then I can have a grandson for free. Otherwise..."

"Don't be angry, Dad. Sister Gui has already told me that she is thinking about our Ah Zhu."

Miao Cuifen quickly spoke up to smooth things over, gave Miao Zhu a wink, and hurriedly left the house.

Li Mu took it all in and his expression turned a little strange.

Although this old man Miao is a bit shameless, he is indeed a talented person.

On the one hand, the transaction with Yiwu was ultimately pushed onto Li Mu and the other two. No matter what Yiwu wanted the twins to do, it was not Manwu's fault for not keeping his word.

Secondly, he actually found a widow with a baby for his son.

This clearly revealed the real reason why Li Mu was angry, and he was begging for mercy for his son.

Sure enough, having an old man in the family is like having a treasure.

Thinking in his heart, Li Mu's figure flashed and he left.

Don't hit someone who smiles at you. Since everyone has done this, Li Mu naturally doesn't want to cause trouble anymore.

After Li Mu left, he headed straight towards the Poisonous Miasma Valley.

The location of the miasma valley is not difficult to find. After more than ten miles south of the village, the entire area belongs to the miasma valley.

But unlike what Li Mu had originally imagined, these places looked more like scenic spots that had been developed long ago.

Food, herbs, livestock, and pens, all of them were people from the Wuman clan coming and going.

Even in the valley, there were makeshift huts everywhere, and in broad daylight, one could hear the obscene sounds of men and women making love in the huts.

"What the hell is this!"

The fear of unknown areas in Li Mu's heart was completely wiped out by these things.

They ran south for about half an hour.

As the population gradually dwindled, the miasma in the valley became more and more severe.

At this moment, Li Mu's figure suddenly stopped. A feeling of palpitation made Li Mu feel cold on his back.

He looked around quickly.

It was like a real milky white fog, blocking everything within twenty meters.

The sturdy old trees were covered with dense canopies that the sunlight could not penetrate, and the nameless vines, like spider webs, blocked Li Mu's way.

I lifted my heels slightly and heard the sound of fallen leaves rubbing against moss, both crisp and sticky.

Li Mu covered his ears tightly. He really couldn't bear it. The sounds of various insects and animals climbing and foraging for food filled his head.

Not to mention, the originally moist scent of soil was mixed with all sorts of rotten stench.
