My Cold and Elegant CEO Wife Chapter 1609 - Disciple of the Spirit Herbs Garden

Seeing Qingqing Mu enter, Hai Mu stood up and said, “Second Miss, you’ve finally found the time to come here. It’s been a long time.”

Qingqing Mu’s bright eyes became embarra.s.sed because what Hai Mu said was right.

When she was younger, Qingqing Mu often played with Grandfather Hai Mu here and he had taught her a lot.

But as she got older, she became more disobedient and took a liking to eccentric habits and bullying others. She had not seen Grandfather Hai Mu in a long time.

Now, Qingqing Mu became embarra.s.sed from hearing Hai Mu’s remark. She explained, “Grandfather Hai Mu, I’ve been busy lately. When I have the time, I will visit you more.”

Hai Mu laughed and lovingly looked at Qingqing Mu. He loved the girl as he had watched her grow up.

Hai Mu had been at the Mu family for a long time. He had been there for a whole seventy years and accompanied three generations of family patriarchs.

“Second mistress, what do you want today? I know that you don’t visit unless you want something.” He chuckled as he looked at Qingqing Mu.

Qingqing Mu gave him a thumbs up and said, “Grandfather Hai Mu, you are so smart. I’m here today to ask you for a favor. Please arrange jobs for Qingfeng Li and Li Yang, they are my friends.”

Qingqing Mu pointed at Qingfeng Li and Li Yang, introducing them to Hai Mu.

Hai Mu turned and looked at Li Yang and Qingfeng Li.

When he looked at Qingfeng Li, Hai Mu’s eyes became doubtful. He could clearly feel that Qingfeng Li was only in the true spirit realm, but he gave off a dangerous aura that made Hai Mu fearful.

Hai Mu had a gut feeling that even him, someone in the earthly spirit realm, would not win in a fight against the young man. It was a gut feeling that could only come with age.

Li Yang made Hai Mu’s eyes s.h.i.+ne. The pretty young woman was actually in the heavenly spirit realm, being even stronger than him.

Having a high level at such a young age indicated superior gift, which made Hai Mu satisfied.

“Second Miss, this young lady you brought here is not bad. She’s in heavenly spirit realm and I can arrange for her to be a deacon. She can get a vital essence pill once a month,” Hai Mu said to Qingqing Mu.

Qingqing Mu smiled and said, “Thanks, Grandfather Hai Mu. But I want you to arrange a position for Qingfeng Li too, give him the best position possible.”

Upon hearing Qingqing Mu, Hai Mu frowned. Qingfeng Li was only in true spirit realm, the lowest level of self-cultivators in the Mu Family. He wondered what position would fit.

The Mu Family was one of the four prominent families of the Greater Luo City with a population in the thousands. The immediate family had hundreds and they occupied the good jobs and positions.

“Qingqing Mu, the spirit herb garden is lacking a disciple. Let Qingfeng Li go there,” he said.

Qingqing Mu pouted and said, “Grandfather Hai Mu, Qingfeng Li is my good friend. How could you let him be a disciple at the garden? At least give him something that pays a pill every month.”

Hai Mu bitterly laughed and said, “Qingqing Mu, the spirit herb garden is a great job with lots of fat for one to harvest. He can plant herbs there. The deacon position at the garden is already occupied by the son of the first elder.”

Qingqing Mu wanted to talk back, but now that Hai Mu had said that the management positions of the family were all gone.

Other than being a disciple, Qingfeng Li had to do janitorial work, like was.h.i.+ng clothes, dishes, and cleaning.

After hearing their conversation, Qingfeng Li had a rough understanding of the Mu Family. It was a large family and had complicated internal relations.h.i.+ps.

Everyone valued their immediate family’s benefits, especially the elders that valued their direct descendants. Even the family head’s daughter did not have much say over the allocation of jobs.

Qingfeng Li smiled and said, “Qingqing Mu, thanks for trying. I am only in the true spirit realm and being a disciple in the spirit herb garden is already good enough. I need to start from the bottom to prevent others from saying that I am entering the Mu Family due to my relations.h.i.+p with you.”

Qingfeng Li actually had his own plans. He had the Golden Flames and the Golden Alchemy Art, an immortal level alchemy technique. All that he lacked was spiritual herbs, heavenly materials, and earthly treasures.

If Qingfeng Li goes to the spirit herb garden, he will be in close proximity of the spirit herbs.

If he could obtain some, Qingfeng Li can practice alchemy arts and use pills to get stronger.

Qingqing Mu did not know Qingfeng Li’s plans and thought that Qingfeng Li was only accepting the position because he thought she doesn’t have much influence.

“I am so sorry, Qingfeng Li. Don’t worry and be a disciple at the garden for now. In the future I will promote you to a managerial position,” Qingqing Mu apologetically said to Qingfeng Li.

“Second Miss, a.s.signing me to the spiritual herb garden already means a lot to me. I am very thankful already,” he said to Qingqing Mu as he smiled.

Qingqing Mu talked with Hai Mu for a bit longer and left for the spirit herb garden with Qingfeng Li and Black Puppy.

As for Li Yang, she did not leave but was a.s.signed to be a deacon elsewhere.

As she was in the heavenly spirit realm and was considered strong in the Mu family.

When Qingfeng Li was leaving, Li Yang did not want to follow Hai Mu and wanted to stay with Qingfeng Li.

It made Hai Mu very confused, as Li Yang was in the heavenly spirit realm, much higher than the realm of Qingfeng Li. But Li Yang looked like she was the servant of Qingfeng Li and followed his every move.

“Li Yang, I’ve a.s.signed you a deacon position in the Mu Family and you can get a pill once a month to help with your practice. Why do you want to be with Qingfeng Li?” Hai Mu asked her with a confused face.

Qingfeng Li originally wanted to leave, but he also stopped to look at Li Yang.

Li Yang slightly smiled as determination appeared in her eyes. She said, “I almost lost my life in the Wilderness of Wild Beasts and it was Qingfeng Li who saved me. I have to be with him.”

Qingfeng Li was slightly surprised as he felt that Li Yang had a good personality, knowing how to pay someone back. Even when she was at the Mu Family, one of the four prominent families of the Greater Luo City, she was still concerned about him.
