"But, it was because of him that I was able to recover my lost money." The young man, who was obviously simple-minded, said hesitantly.

"So what? This guy is a shameless scoundrel who relies on his family's wealth and connections to bully men and women. He even dared to molest a strange woman in public in our Xiaoyang City. I don't know how bad he is on his own territory. He just did a good thing by accident this time. His original intention was to do evil. If you thank him, won't it encourage his arrogance? He will do even more evil in the future. Do you know how many people will be harmed by your thanking him?"

"If it were me, I wouldn't mind losing even my entire fortune, let alone this small amount. In short, it's absolutely impossible for me to thank a man like this, and I absolutely cannot encourage his arrogance," the middle-aged man said righteously.

"Oh, what you said seems to make sense." The young man thought for a while and said, and then he didn't thank Mu Hanyan anymore.

The others were about to thank Mu Hanyan, but after hearing what he said, they began to ponder. The female thief was incredibly skilled, having stolen so many things without anyone noticing. Furthermore, according to her, this was her first time failing.

Mu Hanyan looked young and dandy, so his strength was definitely not that high, and of course he couldn't have seen through the other party's identity. What happened just now was just a coincidence. He wanted to molest someone, but he didn't expect to catch a female thief. Thanking him would only make him complacent and act even more arrogantly.

After thinking about it this way, they all gave up the idea.

The expressions of Mu Ze and the others also relaxed. It was true that those involved in the matter were often confused, while those who were watching could see things more clearly. They were only hesitating whether they should swallow their pride and thank Mu Hanyan, but they did not think about the cause and effect of the matter. The words of the middle-aged man were a wake-up call for them.

He was a seventh-rank swordsman, a notch above Mu Hanyan, and a professional thief. How could Mu Hanyan possibly see through his tricks? Coincidence, everything was just coincidence. This dandy, perverted bastard was just trying to take advantage of others, but luckily, he accidentally exposed someone else's identity.

In this case, instead of thanking him, you should also give him some advice.

"Brother Hanyan, although you managed to help us this time, what you did was still inappropriate, so I still want to remind you that when you are out, it is not like being at home, so you still have to restrain yourself when you should." Mu Ze put on a conscientious look and taught Mu Hanyan a lesson.

"That's right. You don't know how embarrassed we were just now. If you do this again in the future, we will never be polite." Mu Xitian echoed.

"Also, even if you find anything wrong in the future, just tell me and I will handle it. Didn't you admit that all matters are decided by me?" Mu Ze was afraid that what happened just now would affect his authority, so he added.

"Okay." Mu Hanyan didn't get angry, but smiled and said "OK." She wasn't actually fifteen, so she didn't bother to argue with a pretentious brat. As for the slander from strangers, she didn't care. There were so many people slandering her, and if she had to deal with every one of them, wouldn't that be exhausting? Only with an open mind could one advance further on the path of cultivation and ultimately achieve ever-higher achievements.

The higher you stand, the more insignificant these people seem, and the less you care about them. It's like a giant facing a group of ants spitting at him. Would he have the time to care about it? The saliva foam won't even stain his shoes, so what harm can it cause?
