Chapter 197: Rejecting guests politely

"Thank you for your kindness, old man, but detoxification is just a simple task for me, no thanks are needed." Su Chen declined.

"Little friend, please accept my gratitude, otherwise, even if you detoxify me, I will not be able to feel at ease." Mr. Mu's tone was firm. Only others owed them the Mu family's favor, but their Mu family absolutely did not. Will owe other people favors.

Su Chen thought for a moment and then said: "Then, I will be disrespectful to reject Mr. Mu's kindness."

"It's just that I can't think of any requests right now, so can I save this request for when I want to make it?"

Mr. Mu didn't hesitate at all, nodded and said: "Of course, Su Xiaoyou can keep this request and wait until you think of it before raising it to me. As long as it is within the Mu family's ability, we will definitely do it."

"Thank you, Mr. Mu."

Su Chen smiled lightly, "Then, I will now prescribe medicine and treatment for Mr. Mu."

Su Chen's diagnosis and treatment was not complicated. He directly wrote a list, listed a bunch of medicinal materials, and asked the Mu family to send someone to the elixir shop to get the medicine.

Grab the medicine and boil it in water directly for Mr. Mu to drink. If nothing goes wrong, the toxicity of Jiuxiao Powder in Mr. Mu's body will be completely eliminated in less than half a month.

After filling out the prescription, Su Chen was about to leave: "If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

"Little friend Su, wait!"

Mr. Mu quickly said, "I wonder which force Su Xiaoyou comes from?"

Until now, they still don't know Su Chen's origins, and Mr. Mu is indeed very curious. Su Chen is so young, but has such profound attainments in alchemy. Which force could have trained him as a genius?

If he is a genius from Anyang City, then why have they never heard of such a number one person in Anyang City before?

With Su Chen's attainments in alchemy, it stands to reason that it is absolutely impossible for him to be unknown.

"I don't have any power yet. I just arrived in Anyang City today."

Su Chen smiled and said.

"I see."

Mr. Mu was instantly relieved. It turned out that he had just arrived in Anyang City today. No wonder he had not heard of it before.

"I wonder if you are interested in joining the Mu family and becoming a guest alchemist of the Mu family?"

"Alchemist, guest?"

Su Chen asked.

"Yes, Su Xiaoyou has good attainments in alchemy and is fully qualified to become the guest alchemist of the Mu family."

Mr. Mu's eyes were full of sincerity, "What's more, my little friend has been kind to me, and I also hope that you can stay at Mu's house so that I can have the opportunity to express my gratitude."

"I understand the old man's kindness, but I have no intention of becoming a guest alchemist of any force now."

Su Chen shook his head and declined. His pursuit in this life was martial arts. Although Keqing's reputation as an alchemist was good, it would take up time for martial arts practice, and he didn't need that false reputation.

When Mr. Mu heard this, he couldn't help but be disappointed.

"Then, Su Xiaoyou and your friends can stay at Mu's house for a few more days, so that I can fulfill my duty as a landlord."

Mr. Mu had no choice but to stay.

Su Chen didn't refuse anymore. If he only stayed for a few days, it would be fine.

"Then, just bother the old man."

Su Chen smiled.

"Master Su, I will take you to where you live."

Mu Baye was also smiling and stretched out his hand in a gesture of invitation.

"Okay, you can go back too. There is no need to come to me to say hello these days."

After Mu Baye, Su Chen and the others left, Mr. Mu said calmly to Mu Sanniang.

Mu Sanniang's face turned pale. She knew that Mr. Mu wanted her to go back to confinement and reflect for a while.

Although this does not necessarily mean that Mr. Mu completely dislikes her, it certainly means that Mr. Mu is very dissatisfied with her recent actions.

Because of Mr. Mu's status, even if he is dissatisfied with others, he will not express his anger directly. However, the method adopted by Mr. Mu was even more terrifying than just getting angry and scolding.

Because, if Mu Sanniang does not go to greet the old man during this period, then the entire Mu family will know that she, Mu Sanniang, has lost power in front of the old man.

The bigger the family, the more likely they are to flatter the superiors and suppress the inferiors. Even though the old man has nine children, the status of those who have gained power and those who have lost power are completely different.

For example, Mu Ba Ye, the reason why he can always make waves outside and occupy a position in the top management of the Mu family all year round is because the old man has always loved Mu Ba Ye and will give Mu Ba Ye face in everything.

Mu Sanniang, as for her, had finally won the old man's favor, and thought she could use this to gain momentum, but unexpectedly, she was suddenly knocked back to her original shape by the old man.

Thinking of this, Mu Sanniang couldn't help but grit her teeth. In her opinion, all of this was caused by Su Chen, and she couldn't help but hate Su Chen to the core.

…

Mu Baye was very attentive to Su Chen's residence, and he very diligently helped Su Chen arrange a place to live. It was a very spacious courtyard with several rooms and a large garden. Extremely peaceful.

"Master Su, you and your friends can live here peacefully for as long as you want. I believe that the longer you stay, the happier the old man will be." Mu Baye said with a smile.

"Thank you, Master Mu." Su Chen smiled lightly.

However, he will definitely not live here for too long. It is okay to settle down temporarily.

No matter how good the Mu family is, it is still someone else's territory, and after all, it is not as comfortable as one's own territory.

"Master Su..."

Mu Ba Ye was about to say something, but was interrupted by Su Chen shaking his head, "Ba Ye, don't call me master, you can call me anything else you want."

"Then, I will call you Mr. Su."

Mu Baye followed the good example and said, "Master Su, I just heard you say that you just arrived in Anyang City today?"

"That's right."

Su Chen nodded and said.

"I wonder what Mr. Su came to Anyang City for?"

Mu Baye was a little curious.

"A friend introduced me to the Anyang Martial Arts Club, and I wanted to come and have a look."

Su Chen said with a smile.

"It turns out that Mr. Su is here to participate in the Anyang Martial Arts Competition."

Mu Baye suddenly realized that every Anyang Martial Arts Competition would attract many talents from outside the country to participate, and it seemed that Su Chen was one of them.

However, Mu Baye still has some doubts in his heart, because generally speaking, after a person learns alchemy, it is unlikely that he will have the energy to practice martial arts properly, and vice versa.

Because whether it is martial arts or alchemy, it will take up a lot of a person's time and energy, and very few people can do both. It is rare to hear that among those famous martial arts masters, there are those who also practice alchemy.

And the opposite is also true, those alchemists who are famous are rarely powerful in force.

As the saying goes, there are specialties in the art industry. There are very few people who can take care of both at the same time.

In Mu Baye's mind, Su Chen is undoubtedly a genius in alchemy.

Therefore, Su Chen said that he wanted to participate in the Anyang Martial Arts Festival, which surprised Mu Baye.
