Brother Xu, Thank You

Xu Mu wasn't a hot-tempered person, but there were times when he really felt anxious for others and couldn't understand their way of thinking.

Logically speaking, for a woman who was a concubine in a hidden family, if her son became successful and the strongest existence in the family, she should finally stand tall after bowing her head for decades.

Even if she wasn't overbearing, no one in the family should dare to mess with her.

But looking at Zhang Ping's appearance, she was still submissive. Sometimes, having too good of a heart and no bottom line really made one an easy target for bullying.

"Who are you?"

Wang Jinyan pointed at Xu Mu and shouted coldly, "This is our Jin family, you have no right to speak here!"

Jin Hong also said coldly, "Get lost! Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"He is..."

"Jin Mo, don't speak."

Xu Mu grabbed Jin Mo's shoulder, then looked at Wang Jinyan and said, "I am also a cleaner. Although my rank isn't as high as Jin Mo's, I barely managed to get a captain-level position. You mere hidden family members dare to speak to me like this, are you looking for death?"

"You..."

Wang Jinyan pointed at Xu Mu, then shouted coldly, "Our Jin family's Jin Mo is the Third Captain!"

"So what if he's the Third Captain? I come from the Zhengdefa Evil Sect. Wouldn't it be easy for our sect to wipe you out?"

Xu Mu sneered, "Guoguo, show them a little trick!"

Standing behind Xu Mu, Tong Guoguo stepped forward and stomped her foot on the ground.

Boom!

Terrifying power instantly erupted, and the ground beneath her feet shattered into pieces.

A storm formed into circular ripples, spreading towards the surroundings.

Jin Xin, Wang Jinyan, and the others were all blown away by this power and fell to the ground.

In the distance, Jin Xin immediately climbed up from the ground. He looked at Tong Guoguo with a face full of fear, "You are a Grandmaster... No, this power, late-stage Grandmaster, or even peak Grandmaster!"

"Husband!"

Seeing this, Zhang Ping prepared to run towards Jin Xin.

But Xu Mu glanced at Zhang Ping, "Auntie, if you dare to go over there, I will kill this so-called older sister of yours first."

Hearing this, Zhang Ping hadn't even moved before Wang Jinyan over there turned pale with fright, "Zhang Ping! Don't come over! Don't come over!"

Hearing this, Zhang Ping immediately stood frozen in place.

"Brother Xu."

Jin Mo said softly from the side, "Let it go."

"No! A mere hidden family dares to disrespect me. If I don't kill a few people, they'll think I'm easy to bully."

Xu Mu's gaze fell on Wang Jinyan and Jin Hong, "Who should I kill first?"

"Brother Mu, how about we roll a dice? Even numbers kill the woman, odd numbers kill the man," Chen Xuan said with a smile from the side.

"Sir, please forgive us. My wife, like our Jin family, is a member of a hidden family. She has been spoiled since childhood, and her temper has always been like this."

Jin Xin looked at Xu Mu with a respectful expression, "Please, for the sake of my son, let them go."

If he hadn't encountered such a sect disciple, Jin Xin definitely wouldn't have humbled himself.

But the bodyguards around this person all had peak Grandmaster cultivation.

Then their family, plus his wife's Wang family, couldn't even compare to a single hair of theirs.

One must know that Jin Xin's father had been in secluded cultivation for so many years and had only just reached the Grandmaster realm.

"I understand perfectly, because I was also spoiled since childhood. If I were just an ordinary person, would you still speak to me like this?"

Xu Mu raised his hand, and two dark red longswords slowly appeared above his head, "Why go through so much trouble? I'll just kill the two who disrespected me, and that will be that."

Hearing this, Jin Hong was so scared that he sat on the ground on the spot, "No! Don't kill me! Jin Mo, please save your brother, I was wrong! I'll give you the future position of the Jin family patriarch!"

Wang Jinyan was the same at this time. As a member of a hidden family, how could she not know about these sect disciples.

Powerful sects had countless ways to deal with them.

For example, letting their subordinates wipe them out. Even if the Sanitation Department investigated, a subordinate would just step forward as a scapegoat.

Not to mention that this time, it was their mother and son who collided with Xu Mu first.

She pleaded with Jin Mo, "Momo, please put in a good word, your eldest aunt knows she was wrong."

"Brother Xu, let it go, I'm begging you."

Seeing this, Jin Mo pulled Xu Mu's arm again.

"For your sake, I'll let them go."

The two red longswords above Xu Mu's head slowly disappeared, "Right now, the Jin family exists because of you. Whenever the Jin family makes you unhappy, just tell me, and I'll wipe them out directly."

Hearing this, Jin Mo nodded gently.

He naturally knew that Xu Mu was doing this to help him get justice.

His mother was just an ordinary person, while Wang Jinyan was a member of a hidden family.

Since his mother married into the family, she had always been bullied.

Ever since Jin Mo could remember, the mother and son had always been the submissive characters in the family.

But as Jin Mo showed his talent, his mother's situation improved slightly, and just because of this, Zhang Ping was deeply grateful.

People were originally this kind of creature.

If you give them a candy every day and suddenly stop one day, they will hold a grudge.

But if you slap them every day and suddenly stop one day, they will feel grateful.

Jin Mo's mother was exactly this kind of person.

He always felt that his mother was very pitiful. Every time his mother cried and begged him not to make a fuss, Jin Mo chose to endure it.

But today, Xu Mu's actions made him suddenly see the light.

Obviously, he was the pillar of the family, so why should he always be restricted by others?

For example, the Jin family's ruins had been coveted by several powerful hidden families before.

If it weren't for Jin Mo, the Third Captain of the Sanitation Department, the Jin family alone wouldn't have been able to protect this place at all.

"Dad, I'll say it again. I can't help with either of the two things you mentioned."

Jin Mo's eyes no longer dodged like before, but instead looked straight at Jin Xin.

"Alright then, I mainly just wanted you siblings to all have something to do."

Jin Xin sighed helplessly.

"With my personality, if I could speak up in the Sanitation Department, the first thing I would do is reorganize the Jin family."

Jin Mo's face was calm, "Grandpa should be in the back mountain, I'll head over there first."

After saying that, Jin Mo led Xu Mu and the others towards the back mountain.

"Brother Xin, are you alright?"

Seeing them walk far away, Zhang Ping finally came to Jin Xin's side.

"Ping, I'm sorry. What that child Momo said just now was very right."

Jin Xin shook his head slightly, "If he was the kind of person who was doing very well, the first thing he would do is teach us a lesson. It's precisely because he is submissive at home that he can't get anywhere in the Sanitation Department."

...

"Brother Xu, thank you."

On the mountain path in the back mountain, Jin Mo lowered his head to Xu Mu, "If it weren't for you, my mom and I would probably have been suppressed by them for the rest of our lives."

"You're too polite. With your strength, you don't have to push your luck, but you definitely shouldn't retreat three feet from everyone you meet."

Speaking up to here, Xu Mu looked towards the woods over there, "Senior, what I said should be right, right?"

In the distant woods, from behind a thick tree, an old man walked out.

He smiled and shook his head, "In your eyes, I wouldn't dare to call myself a senior."
