He had disliked Mu Hanyan since he was a child, and he would always make some sarcastic remarks to her every time they met. However, over the past period of time, Mu Hanyan had really shocked him too much, and he was becoming more and more confused.

This Mu Hanyan is obviously a loser and a good-for-nothing, so how come her strength has improved so quickly? Not only her strength, but her whole person seems to have changed. There must be some secret here!

If I could unlock such a secret, with my qualifications, how much benefit would I get?

It was because of this thought that Mu Chengcai stopped and deliberately showed goodwill to Mu Hanyan.

In the past, no matter how brightly Mu Cheng smiled, Mu Hanyan would not look at him in a good light. But now it is different. She has twice as much life experience as others, so how could she treat a little brat the same? In her eyes, the so-called conflicts with Mu Cheng in the past were just like children playing house.

Seeing Mu Cheng's initiative, Mu Hanyan smiled and nodded. Regardless of whether he was sincere in his gesture, people said that you shouldn't hit someone who smiled, so Mu Hanyan naturally wouldn't bother with a child who smiled.

"Where are you going, Brother Hanyan, so early in the morning?" Mu Cheng began to ask, his eyes scanning Mu Nan's face with suspicion. Didn't this guy owe someone a gambling debt of 10,000 taels? Why did he look so excited?

How could he know that Mu Nan was so excited because he was in a hurry to pay off his gambling debts.

"Let's go shopping at the market. I heard that Lao Liu is more familiar with it. Let's ask him to go with us. Do you want to go?" Mu Hanyan asked.

Knowing the care her parents and grandfather had shown her, her mindset naturally changed from her previous life. She valued family ties more, and no longer wanted to become true enemies with her brothers and sisters. She wanted to ease the relationship if possible. Furthermore, one of the biggest reasons the Mu family remained strong was that, despite internal competition and struggle, when faced with external enemies, they would put aside their differences and unite to fight. This was also a major reason why Mu Hanyan didn't want to really argue with Mu Cheng.

"Oh, I have something to do, so I won't go." Mu Cheng said.

"Okay, we'll go first." Mu Hanyan knew that Mu Nan didn't want too many people to catch him, so she didn't force him.

Mu Cheng watched them leave. After Mu Hanyan and Mu Nan were far away, he rolled his eyes and quietly followed them.

Mu Hanyan was a playboy, but he wasn't stupid. How could he possibly reveal the secret of his own strength in front of others? This matter needed to be investigated secretly.

Walk two or three miles north along the main road outside the City Lord's Mansion, and then pass through a few alleys, and you will reach the market in Black Stone City.

There is actually more than one market in Blackrock City. Some specialize in selling vegetables, fruits, grains, and cereals, while others specialize in selling cattle, sheep, mules, horses, and farming tools. The market they came to specializes in selling items related to cultivation.

It was already late, but the market was deserted. Apart from the rhythmic thumping coming from the forging workshop behind the weapon shop, only the vendors setting up stalls could occasionally chat.

Black Stone City is not a big city and is not very prosperous. The strength of the cultivators in the city is generally not high, so the demand for cultivation resources is not great.

Zirong and Huayue followed behind Mu Hanyan, and from time to time they looked at the flowers, plants, jade, and animal bones displayed on the roadside stalls, as well as the so-called magical weapons and secret skills that the few shops on both sides placed outside their doors to attract attention.
