"Brother!" Yang Boxing received the slap, tears welled up in his eyes, and he couldn't utter a word.

"Forget it. You'll be a burden if you follow me. I can't spare the time to protect you. It's safer for you to stay with everyone." Mu Hanyan couldn't bear to watch this and said with a smile.

Not every family is like the Mu family, letting her do whatever she wants. Many families in the Holy Court Continent have strict rules, especially some small families with a long history. They have relied on strict family rules to survive through the ups and downs of life. So she didn't blame Yang Boxing.

"Mr. Mu, I'm sorry." Yang Boqiao felt bad and said apologetically to Mu Hanyan in a low voice.

"It's good that you can achieve this." Mu Hanyan said indifferently.

Yang Boqiao is still somewhat persistent, which is much better than those guys who are ungrateful and repay kindness with enmity. Although they cannot be friends, there is no need to regard him as an enemy.

Mu Hanyan has gained a lot of vision and experience in two lifetimes, and her mind is indeed much more open-minded than that of ordinary people.

"Brother Mu, take care of yourself. I, Yang Boxing, will never forget your life-saving grace." Yang Boxing also looked guilty and said with a sob.

Although he failed to make Mu Hanyan deserted by her friends and relatives, Qu Fengting was satisfied that he had forced the Yang Boqiao brothers to part ways with their savior. He ordered the gate to be opened to let the Yang Boqiao brothers in.

"Brother Mu, here are some medicines for wounds, maybe you can use them." Before leaving, Yang Boqiao quietly handed Mu Hanyan a packet of medicines, lowering his voice very low and speaking apologetically.

"Thank you." Mu Hanyan did not refuse and took the medicine.

She had no prejudice against Yang Boqiao to begin with, and this small gesture actually made her feel a little favorable towards him.

At this moment, Yang Boqiao didn't know that this small act of apology would save his life in the near future. Of course, if he knew, he would not have made the previous decision.

Turning around, Mu Hanyan and others left.

"How ungrateful! I shouldn't have saved them if I had known." Mu Cheng said angrily after walking a long distance away.

"The Yang family has been dependent on the Qu family for many years, and now Qu Fengting has everyone's support. Whether for the sake of the family or their own lives, they don't have much choice. In fact, it is not easy for them to achieve this step. Children of aristocratic families are often helpless and have no choice." Wu Qiyun saw it clearly and said with emotion.

"Alas, family matters are such a headache," Mu Cheng sighed. Coming from the same background, he understood the disputes and conflicts between families, but it just made him feel a little unwilling and uncomfortable.

"Just leave the troublesome things to others, practice well, and use your strength to protect the family." Mu Hanyan said with a relaxed look.

Mu Cheng and Wu Qiyun's eyes lit up at the same time after hearing her words. As scions of a clan, who knew how difficult it was for a clan to survive? Often, they would resort to hypocritical tactics to survive, even giving away clan women as concubines under the guise of marriage alliances in exchange for ten years of peace.

They are still in their teens and twenties, but they already have to feel helpless or confused about their future.

Mu Hanyan's words suddenly opened their eyes. What did a family truly rely on to thrive? It was pure strength. Just one supreme master was enough to guarantee a family's prosperity for a century. Why would they need marriage alliances or compromise?
