Chapter 180: 180: Mu family disciples

"It all depends on your effort!" Mu Qiuniang didn’t say it, but unless a miracle happened, it would be quite difficult for him to catch up with her.

"Wife, don’t worry, I will definitely strive hard. Even if I can’t catch up to you, I won’t let anyone surpass me..."

Jiang Nuo was filled with a sense of crisis. He always felt his wife was too impressive. No matter how much she tried to hide it, her brilliance couldn’t be concealed. He wasn’t the first to "have eyes to recognize a hero," and he wouldn’t be the last.

How could he ensure that he and his wife would walk further together? Besides maintaining their marital relationship, he needed to constantly improve his abilities.

He knew that if he kept dragging his wife down, one day he wouldn’t have to worry about her disliking him. He’d either be taken down by her admirers or her enemies.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Nuo looked at the glow outside the window and silently vowed that he would work hard in cultivation to become a pair of true immortal companions with her.

Although Mu Qiuniang hadn’t officially appeared at the Mu family, she did have Mu Bai gather her siblings so she could meet them all.

Mu Bai’s Second Uncle Mu Mingyu, besides having a promising eldest son, Mu Cheng, his twins Mu Qing and Mu Jie, and his youngest son Mu Rui, all had their own aspirations and were working towards them.

Mu Qing was very interested in business. He had already started his small company outside, which, although small, was doing quite well and making some profit.

Mu Jie preferred the entertainment industry. Of course, he wasn’t an actor but rather an agent, developing towards being a top agent, and planning to open his studio in the future.

Mu Rui was still in college, majoring in law, with the goal of assisting his second and third brothers after graduation.

As for Mu Bai’s Third Uncle Mu Mingzhi, he often traveled worldwide, and no one knew who his wife was. A few years ago, he suddenly brought back a pair of brothers, claiming they were his sons, and left them under the care of his second sister-in-law (Mu Bai’s Second Aunt).

Third Uncle Mu Mingzhi’s eldest son was Mu Ying, who liked wandering around like his father, working as a wandering photographer. Now he was being urged by Mu Bai’s Second Aunt to attend a militarized academy, and he couldn’t come out without a master’s degree.

The younger son, Mu Feng, was more obedient and was exceptionally admitted to a prestigious music school abroad last year.

"Great-aunt, the current situation with my cousins is like this. Except for Cousin Ying and Cousin Feng being abroad, the rest are all here..."

Mu Bai made a mysterious call for help, gathering a group of cousins at a certain bar in the country, except for Mu Ying and Mu Feng.

Since Mu Bai was the only girl of the Mu family’s generation, Mu Qing, Mu Jie, and Mu Rui attached great importance to this sister/cousin. They often played together as children, so they had a decent relationship.

If it weren’t for that, Mu Bai wouldn’t have been able to gather them with just one phone call.

Initially, they thought something happened to their sister/cousin, but when they arrived, they found out she had brought along a strange woman, leaving them perplexed, especially since the eldest cousin Mu Cheng was abroad.

"Cousin, what is this about..." Mu Qing, the eldest among them except for Mu Cheng, acted as the representative and asked in confusion.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce you. I’m sure you heard how I addressed her just now. She is Mu Qiuniang, our great-aunt, and she’s your great-aunt as well!" Mu Bai emphasized, "Grandpa should have mentioned that this great-aunt can handle any of our matters without needing his consent."

Mu Qing, Mu Jie, Mu Rui: "..."

Grandpa did say that if they ever met a very young "great-aunt," they should show respect, right?

"Cousin," Mu Rui touched his nose, "you didn’t call us just for introductions, did you?"

The well-informed already heard about the dealings with Cousin Mu Rong. Although they didn’t know how great-aunt dealt with it, the fact that a living person could disappear from under the Mu family’s nose without any reaction from grandpa was enough to prove her capabilities and her status in the Mu family.

Their mom had also reminded them that although this great-aunt’s background was mysterious, she wouldn’t be simple. They should be very careful when dealing with her.

There was no help for it. Seeing this great-aunt only wanted to interact with the younger generation, their moms couldn’t give much advice, only telling them to handle things as they went along.

Actually, when Mu Qiuniang appeared, they speculated a bit, but they didn’t dare be sure. They couldn’t be too obvious, so they could only sneak a glance.

Young!

She was indeed young!

Young enough that calling her "great-aunt" felt awkward. If it had been a white-haired old lady, it wouldn’t have felt uncomfortable at all.

Moreover, her features were delicate, not attention-grabbing.

Indeed, if not reminded, it was easy to overlook her presence. However, upon closer observation, one would find her aura unique, like a snow lotus blooming proudly atop an iceberg.

"No big deal, the great-aunt just wanted to recognize people."

Everyone was speechless. Just because the great-aunt wanted to recognize them, each one of them either canceled important meetings or skipped class to come for her to "recognize" them?

"Gr-great-aunt," Mu Jie awkwardly addressed, "she has already introduced everyone. I’m Mu Jie, working in an entertainment company. If great-aunt needs any help, just let me know. I’m at your service."

Saying so, he handed over his name card.

Seeing this, the others followed suit.

Mu Cheng saw his brothers acting this way and felt a bit embarrassed: Why hadn’t he noticed them being like this before? If it was just about recognizing people, would the great-aunt have called them over?

"Mu Qing, you have a girlfriend, right?" Mu Qiuniang took everyone’s name cards, but her gaze landed on the second person handing over the card.

"Cousin Qing, you have a girlfriend?!" Mu Bai was very surprised, "You’re too quick! How come I didn’t hear about it? You haven’t told Second Aunt, have you? Really, how could you keep quiet about having a girlfriend, making Second Aunt worry about when you guys would find one, thinking each one of you was single, and anxiously arranging blind dates for you all the time... Such good news, why didn’t you let on at all?"

No choice, except for her brother Mu Rong, a playboy, the other men in the Mu family were like repellent to women, hardly interacting with females, not to mention having girlfriends.

Cousin Jie was okay since he was in the entertainment world and had more opportunities to interact with females. But Cousin Qing was practically a monk, with no females of the right age around him, either married or divorced, or plain male.

Others were equally surprised, but their surprise wasn’t because Mu Qing had a girlfriend (since they believed Mu Qing was unlikely to have one, not having heard any rumors) but rather, it was how the great-aunt knew?

The great-aunt asked just one question, and Mu Bai was already acting like Mu Qing indeed had a girlfriend, so happy? It seemed Mu Bai really trusted the great-aunt?

"I don’t think so? My brother is busy with the company all day, where would he find the chance to date?" Mu Jie hesitated, "Second Brother, you don’t have a girlfriend, do you?"
