"Um, what are their names?"
A flash of spiritual light flickered in Er Zhu's eyes as he saw glimpses of the youths' pasts in their minds. He pointed at a few men with decent character and asked.
This skill was newly acquired after he broke through the tenth level of Tong Mu, which meant that Tian Tong Mu had been cultivated to its peak!
"Oh, this one is my cousin's grandson, Miao Mu."
"This one is a collateral relative of my Miao family, Miao Xing."
"This one is Miao Qing's younger brother, Miao Feng."
...
Elder Miao introduced these youths from left to right. However, when he mentioned Miao Qing, it was evident that he did not wish to bring up the name.
As members of the Miao family, even though they didn't know what had happened, they understood that Miao Qing must have done something outrageous to warrant such a decision from the patriarch!
Such a decision was an opportunity for other Miao family members, but it was a great humiliation for Miao Qing's family!
To save face and regain Elder Miao's trust, they had brought Miao Feng, who had achieved great success abroad.
Seeing Miao Feng being chosen by Er Zhu, Miao Feng's parents finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Grandpa, I don't want to be the patriarch. Can you let me go back?"
Just as the other youths were thinking about how to curry favor with Er Zhu, Miao Feng suddenly said this.
All the Miao family members looked at Miao Feng as if he were an idiot, and even his parents wished they could rush over and beat him up!
This was related to the honor of their entire family, and this brat actually refused outright. He was crazy!
"Miao Feng, are you thinking too much? Boss Wang just said you were pretty good, he didn't say the patriarch would be yours for sure!"
"Exactly! Besides, Boss Wang is just being polite. Do you really think you few are more outstanding than us?"
Miao Mu and Miao Xing didn't speak, but the other younger generation members behind them did, especially Miao Xiu and Miao Hao who were the most enthusiastic.
Miao Xiu was also Elder Miao's son. Although his father was indifferent to fame and fortune, he had an extraordinary craving for power and status!
Miao Hao, the son of a collateral relative of the Miao family, considered himself very capable and had long coveted the position of patriarch!
Er Zhu glanced at Miao Xiu and Miao Hao and couldn't be bothered to explain. He sat aside and chatted with Elder Miao, whose expression had turned somewhat unpleasant.
Er Zhu was indeed right. The descendants standing in the back were all people with impure intentions!
While angry at his descendants, Elder Miao was also more shocked by Er Zhu's unparalleled insight!
Such an ability to see through people's hearts was rare. He must hold onto this great tree tightly!
"Alright, I didn't ask you to speak, so shut up. Miao Xing, you few stay, and the rest can leave!"
Elder Miao didn't want to bother with them, but Miao Xiu and Miao Hao's words became increasingly outrageous. Elder Miao, unable to stand it any longer, could only issue the order for them to leave.
They had already embarrassed themselves enough in front of Er Zhu these past few days; they couldn't afford to lose any more face!
To think that he, a dignified second-rate prominent family, had so many ambitious and ill-intentioned people, it truly made him unable to hold his head up in front of Er Zhu!
Miao Xiu and Miao Hao wanted to retort, but seeing Elder Miao's livid face, they could only leave. However, as they left, they glared fiercely at Er Zhu.
They didn't know Er Zhu's identity. In their eyes, Er Zhu was just a nouveau riche who knew how to please Elder Miao.
And Elder Miao was just a muddled patriarch who enjoyed flattery!
Since he was a muddled patriarch, he deserved to die!
The two looked at each other, seeing the fleeting murderous intent in each other's eyes. They glanced at Elder Miao and Er Zhu and walked towards the door.
Their movements were so subtle that even those beside them didn't notice, but they couldn't escape Er Zhu's eyes!
For these two idiots to want to kill someone was simply wishful thinking!
Elder Miao didn't notice these things. He chatted with Miao Xing and the others. Although Er Zhu had only said one sentence, he had already decided to focus on cultivating these few individuals!
After dinner, these people left one after another. Elder Miao looked at the darkening sky and waved to Er Zhu.
"Er Zhu, help me to the study. Someone sent me a batch of very precious medicinal herbs. I'll take you to see them."
Elder Miao said as he walked towards the back garden, then suddenly seemed to recall something and looked at Er Zhu with a face full of smiles.
Er Zhu was a doctor, and a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner at that. He would surely be interested in various Chinese medicinal herbs!
It was for this reason that he had specifically spread the word that he had recently become obsessed with Chinese medicine, which was why people had sent these things.
Upon entering the study, Er Zhu smelled a strong aroma of herbs. Among some of the more precious medicinal herbs, Er Zhu spotted a few extremely rare ones.
The Resurrection Grass and the Thousand-Year Snow Ganoderma!
He had only seen these two herbs in ancient books in his mind. They were said to be extinct, yet they were here!
"Er Zhu, you don't want the position of patriarch, so I've found these for you. They are said to be rare medicinal herbs. I don't understand them myself. These are my apologies."
Elder Miao pointed at the small mountain of various Chinese medicinal herbs, and after saying this, he turned and walked out of the study.
He didn't understand anything about Chinese medicinal herbs. Since that was the case, he would let Er Zhu handle them himself.
Er Zhu selected a few very precious Chinese medicinal herbs and gave the rest to Old Wang. Old Wang was as happy as a child when he saw these medicinal herbs.
"Er Zhu, thank you. These are all precious Chinese medicinal herbs. Are you sure you're willing to give them to me?"
Old Wang looked at the herbs with shining eyes, full of confusion and excitement.
These Chinese medicinal herbs were not only top-notch in Willow Town, but they were also top-notch in the entire North China Province!
Anyone who had such good things wouldn't even give them away, let alone sell them!
"Well, I haven't been to the Chinese Medicine Association for a while, but you've still given me dividends. This is my apology to you."
Er Zhu nodded slightly, glanced at the money Old Wang had transferred to him during this period, and remained calm.
If it weren't for Old Wang's transfer, he would have forgotten that he had such an industry. These things might be precious to Old Wang, but to him, they were just ordinary medicinal herbs.
Apology?
Old Wang looked at the century-old ginseng at the very top and swallowed in shock.
If this was to express an apology, this single ginseng was enough; so much was unnecessary!
"Haha, Old Wang, this is a great harvest! Someone sent you so many Chinese medicinal herbs!"
Just as Old Wang was about to thank Er Zhu, a man's voice suddenly came from behind him. He turned his head and saw an old man with an ethereal demeanor and a middle-aged man walking towards him with a smile.
Er Zhu didn't recognize the old man, but he recognized the middle-aged man!
It was Liu Xingbo, whom he had thoroughly humiliated at Qingya Hotel!
