Mu Feng nodded, but he didn't even have the strength to speak.

"Wait a minute, Brother Hanyan, I'll go too." Mu Cheng said.

"And us, I'll go too." Knowing that Mu Hanyan was going to rescue people, Mu Ze and others followed.

When they went to Xiaoyang City, it was Hua Yue Zirong who accompanied them. Jiang Yuzhe also knew her at that time. They were friends for life and death, so naturally he could not stand by and watch her die.

"All of you stay here. With such limited strength, are you going to die?" Mu Hanyan shouted in a deep voice.

Mu Ze and the others stopped at the same time, looking at Mu Hanyan with a bit of awe. Mu Hanyan at this moment was indeed no longer the dandy good-for-nothing she once was, and had already established her own authority among the younger generation.

"I am familiar with the Shishanling area." Mu Cheng hesitated for a moment and said to Mu Hanyan.

"Okay, take care of yourself." Mu Hanyan nodded. She only knew that Hua Yue's home was in the Shishanling area, but she had never been there. Taking Mu Cheng with her would save a lot of trouble.

Soon, the two rushed out the door.

"You...why do you care about the life and death of Mu Hanyan's men? Aren't you asking for trouble?" Seeing Mu Feng's injuries, the elder said with both heartache and complaint.

Ever since Mu Hanyan got Mu Tianlie's Destiny Star Plate, they have been at loggerheads. Mu Feng almost lost his life trying to save Hua Yue Zirong and the other two. If it weren't for his severe injuries, the Great Elder would have wanted to slap him hard.

"Mu Hanyan saved my life. If it weren't for him, I would have died in the trial long ago. So I can't just stand by and watch him die." Mu Feng said with a complicated expression.

After hearing Mu Feng's words, Mu Ze and others looked at the Great Elder with strange eyes.

Just a moment ago, he was still blaming Mu Hanyan for not saving him, but he didn't expect the truth to be revealed so soon. If Mu Hanyan hadn't rescued him, Mu Feng would never have come back alive.

The Great Elder was also stunned for a moment, and his old face quickly turned red.

As the great elder, he actually questioned his own juniors, and even slandered them without reason. How could the great elder have the nerve to face the questioning eyes of his juniors, and immediately took Mu Feng back to his own house.

Mu Feng was given healing pills and a doctor was called in to check his injuries. The doctor confirmed that his internal injuries were not serious and that he was just too tired from running all the way. He was not in danger of his life and it would not affect his future training. The Great Elder felt relieved.

"What exactly happened in this trial? I've heard rumors outside, but I always feel that something is not right?" asked the Great Elder. With his nearly a hundred years of life experience, he also found that those rumors were not entirely true, but seemed to be deliberately unified.

"There was a little accident, but it was a close call," Mu Feng replied. Actually, it wasn't a close call; it was both thrilling and dangerous. He brushed it off lightly because he didn't want his grandfather to worry.

"Why, even your grandfather won't tell you?" Seeing Mu Feng's vague response, the elder said unhappily.

"It's not that I refuse to tell you, but we reached an agreement with Master Pang of the Pangde Sect that what happened in the Exotic Beast Valley must not be told to anyone except the head of the family. For this, Master Pang also gave me a Marrow Cleansing and Meridian Refining Pill and a Seventh Transformation Qi Refining Pill, plus the opportunity to directly enter Zhengying Academy," Mu Feng explained. While the events of the Exotic Beast Valley couldn't be discussed, other matters were not part of the agreement.

"What? A marrow cleansing and meridian strengthening pill, a seventh-level Qi refining pill, and a chance to enter Zhengying College directly... Good, good." After hearing Mu Feng's words, the Great Elder was shocked at first, then overjoyed, rubbing his hands and saying excitedly.

"I won't ask any more about the Exotic Beast Valley, nor will I say much about Hua Yue Zirong. You should heal your injuries quickly these few days. Master and disciple Mu Yunshui and Mu Ziping will come over in a few days. Don't be so sick that people look down on you." Hearing that Mu Feng had received such a huge benefit, the Great Elder of course knew that it was a hush money given by Zhengying Academy, so he stopped asking and said with a kind face.

"Mu Yunshui, Mu Ziping?" Mu Feng looked at his grandfather in confusion.

"Mu Yunshui is one of the nine great priests of our Mu clan. He is also the master I found for you. Mu Ziping is your distant cousin in terms of seniority, but he will be your senior brother in the future." The elder said with a happy face.

"What are they here for?" Mu Feng asked.

"How could you forget? Mu Hanyan took possession of the clan property and secretly gave her the only Marrow Cleansing and Vein-Cleansing Pill. Last time, I went to the capital to find someone to intervene on our behalf, and Mu Gongsheng came all the way to Black Stone City to do it for us." The Great Elder glanced at Mu Feng. Didn't the doctor just say his injuries weren't too serious? How could he forget all this? Could it be that his internal injuries weren't serious, but his brain was damaged?

"Grandfather, let's just forget it. Mu Hanyan saved my life this time, and I've got the Marrow Cleansing and Meridian Cleansing Pill. Don't embarrass him anymore." Mu Feng certainly hadn't forgotten the incident. However, after experiencing the events in the Valley of Exotic Beasts, his temperament had changed significantly. Whether it was disheartened or a profound enlightenment, he simply didn't want to cross Mu Hanyan anymore.

Otherwise, he would not have risked his life to save Huayue and Zirong.

"Mu Feng, are you also possessed by evil spirits like Mu Nan and Mu Cheng?" The Great Elder was furious upon hearing this. "Why would Mu Hanyan save you? If he hadn't obtained the Marrow Cleansing and Meridian Strengthening Pill that was supposed to be yours, would he have been able to save you? In other words, if you had obtained the Marrow Cleansing and Meridian Strengthening Pill that was supposed to be yours, would you still need him to save you?

What's more, he saved your life, and you also risked your life to save his subordinate, so you don't owe him anything.

Speaking of which, not only the Marrow Cleansing and Meridian Strengthening Pill, but even the position of Patriarch should have been ours. Our branch of the Mu family has painstakingly cultivated our current family business for many years, but Mu Ruian took advantage of it. Are you really willing to accept this?

Also, who has the Destiny Star Plate left by your Tianlie ancestor now? You think Mu Hanyan saved you out of kindness, but he's just feeling guilty. Have you ever thought about how strong you would be now if Mu Hanyan hadn't so shamelessly stolen the Tianlie ancestor's relic? Would you still need him to save you?

"But..." Mu Feng wanted to tell the Great Elder that Mu Hanyan's current strength had exceeded his imagination.

If he were to ask himself honestly, even if he obtained the Marrow Cleansing and Meridians Strengthening Pill, he would not be able to have the strength of Mu Hanyan. This shows that Mu Hanyan is definitely not a natural waste, but a genius among geniuses. It is definitely not a wise thing to make an enemy of Mu Hanyan.

However, according to the agreement he reached with Pang Dezong, nothing that happened in the Valley of Exotic Beasts could be told to others, so Mu Hanyan's strength could not be revealed either. But Grandfather insisted on making things difficult for Yu Mu Hanyan, so what should he do?
