Seeing Qu Fengting and the others, the crowd in front automatically made way for them and watched them enter the portal in a triumphant manner. Before leaving, Qu Fengting turned around and gave Mu Hanyan a cold look, as if he were looking at a dead person.

"Mr. Mu, let's go too." Soon, it was the turn of Mu Hanyan and others. Wu Qiyun squeezed in beside them at some point, glanced at the disappearing backs of Qu Fengting and others, and said with a serious expression.

"Let's go." Out of curiosity, Mu Hanyan also walked forward.

"I have a few friends I know. Do you want to invite them along?" Wu Qiyun said a little conflictedly.

Like Qu Fengting, he also had other purposes in participating in this trial. Logically speaking, recruiting more people would mean more strength, but if there were too many people, the benefits might not be enough to be distributed.

Mu Hanyan noticed the conflict in Wu Qiyun's expression and was a little surprised. This world has always been full of ruthless people who would even sell out their loved ones for profit. It was quite rare that Wu Qiyun was worried about not getting enough benefits.

Although it seems a bit selfish on the surface, considering his family background, it is already very good that he can think about sharing the benefits in the face of huge temptation instead of crossing the river and destroying the bridge or simply killing people to silence them.

Mu Hanyan had originally worried about being sold out by him, but now she felt much more relieved. No one is perfect, and Mu Hanyan didn't expect everyone she met to be a saint.

In contrast, Mu Hanyan secretly felt sad for Mu Feng. Although she didn't know what he had experienced in his past life, considering the few words Wu Qiyun had revealed, it was not difficult for her to guess that either he was used as a scapegoat by Qu Fengting in a critical moment, or that Qu Fengting had succeeded and then destroyed him to prevent future troubles.

However, as far as she knew, Qu Fengting didn't seem to have achieved much since then, so the former was probably the most likely scenario. Regardless of which scenario it was, Mu Feng's fragile heart must have been deeply traumatized, leading to his downfall.

Wu Qiyun didn't think that his momentary hesitation had caused Mu Hanyan to think so much and even develop some affection for him. If she knew, he wondered if she would be moved to tears.

"No need, just a few of us are enough. If we are not strong enough, no matter how many people we have, they will not be able to help and will only be a burden." Mu Hanyan did not let Wu Qiyun continue to worry about Xia Yun and said simply.

With her current strength as a great swordsman, she might not even be stronger than Qu Fengting, so why bother carrying around a burden?

"Yeah, that's true." Wu Qiyun nodded, but he felt a little disapproving in his heart.

You still say others are a burden, how good do you think you can be? If he hadn't heard Wu Songxing praising Mu Hanyan, which piqued his curiosity, and hadn't happened to meet him in the restaurant, and after observing him for a while, he felt that this Mu Hanyan was different from the rumored playboy. He had an open-minded and generous temperament and the demeanor of a child from an aristocratic family. He was a person he could trust. He would not have chosen to ally with Mu Hanyan.

Temperament is temperament, strength is strength. Even if the name of a playboy was spread through rumors, the assertion by a generation of astrology master that he was a natural waste could not be false. He did not believe that Mu Hanyan had any decent strength.

Alas, he is, after all, a direct descendant of the Mu family in the capital. Even if he was exiled to a small place like Black Stone City, he is still arrogant and conceited. I hope he doesn't get too arrogant and ruin things. Wu Qiyun was secretly worried.
