Two weeks later, the higher echelon gathered outside of the grand hall in the Mu Estate. Mu Chen stood with his hands behind his back. After a while, he turned around and looked at Mandela and Ancestor Xuan Tian, who stood before the higher echelon of the Mu Estate.
"As usual, Mandela will hold down the fort while I'm away. Ancestor Xuan Tian might have to strike if there is an invasion," Mu Chen said, while he grinned at the two of them.
Ancestor Xuan Tian chuckled, then cupped his fist and said, "Don't worry, Estate Master. Since I'm the elder of the Mu Estate, I'll definitely perform my duties."
Mandela nodded as she stared at Mu Chen with her big, gleaming eyes. She said in a low voice, "You must be careful."
