"Don't think too much. If you can't keep him, even I can't keep him." Ye Lanxuan said lightly.
After hearing what he said, Hua Yue and the others had no choice but to silently retract their swords, but they were secretly worried in their hearts. They didn't know what his purpose was in taking Gui Yumie's body away, and whether it would leave any trouble.
"Don't worry, I don't think he has any ill intentions." Seeing their concern, Ye Lanxuan said.
Mu Hanyan did not doubt his words. Although this man first rescued Zhao Lingxian from her and then snatched Gui Yuye away, he obviously had no ill will towards her. Otherwise, if he attacked her, she would have had little chance of saving her life.
"Do you know him?" Mu Hanyan asked.
"Maybe, I'm not sure." Ye Lanxuan shook his head and said with a complicated look, as if he was recalling something in the past that he didn't want to think about, and his expression was a little melancholy.
It was the first time that Mu Hanyan saw Ye Lanxun looking worried. Her heart inexplicably tightened, and she didn't want to disturb his mood, so she didn't ask any further questions.
Hua Yue and the others also sensed something unusual about Ye Lanxun, so they said nothing more. They burned all the bodies of the Gui Yu tribe members and searched the valley again. When they found no one who had escaped, they left the valley.
"It's strange. Apart from these black-clad swordsmen, why don't we see any old people, children, women or children?" Zirong said in confusion as they walked out of the valley.
After hearing his words, Hua Yue and Jiang Yuzhe also looked puzzled. Although they couldn't say they were unforgivable, they didn't mind wiping out a family like the Gui Yu clan. But the strange thing was that after searching the entire valley, they didn't find a single old person, child, or woman. This was obviously unreasonable. It couldn't be that all the members of the Gui Yu clan popped out of cracks in the rocks and grew up immediately.
"This isn't surprising. The Guiyu clan has survived to this day, and even the Holy Court is completely unaware of it. There must be a reason for this.
When the Guiyu clan was first exterminated by the Holy Court, few escaped. To continue the family bloodline, they had to conceal their true identities and marry outsiders. If a daughter was born, they would leave some money and depart. If a son was born, they would also forsake their family ties and leave home. However, the child would be secretly nurtured by someone assigned by the family. Only when the son grew up and was proven to be a promising talent would someone reveal the family secret and allow him to return to his roots.
Once they return to their ancestral home, they can no longer leave easily, except to marry and continue their lineage. They cannot even see their descendants grow up, and fathers and sons will not recognize each other when they meet. Only in this way can the family secrets be kept to the greatest extent possible.
"Take those black-clad swordsmen for example. Besides them, not even their wives, children, or mothers knew their origins. In other words, even though all of Gui Yu's elite swordsmen were annihilated today, there are still descendants of the Gui Yu clan living on the Holy Court Continent, or even within Anyun Country. However, they will never know the identity of their ancestors for generations to come," Yun Bo said leisurely.
"Uncle Yun, how do you know these things?" Jiang Yuzhe asked curiously.
"Because all families survive in this way after encountering a disaster. If one day our Mu family is destroyed by a powerful enemy, we can only use this method to pass on the bloodline, avoid the enemy's pursuit, and wait for the day of revival and revenge." Yun Bo said calmly.
Mu Hanyan and others only then realized how difficult it was for those ancient families with a history of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years to pass on to this day, and what twists and turns they had gone through.
But no matter what, Mu Hanyan and others breathed a sigh of relief knowing that even if there were descendants of the Gui Yu clan, there would be no hidden dangers.
It is easy to say that they want to eradicate the problem completely, but when it comes to really raising the butcher knife against a group of babies and women, they really find it difficult to do it.
Ye Lanxun had already stated that the masked man had no ill intentions, and that Gui Yumie had destroyed his own soul, so even if he took his body, there wouldn't be any consequences. Furthermore, with the Gui Yu clan's elite wiped out, the remaining orphans didn't even know their origins, making them even less of a threat.
Mu Hanyan and others naturally shouldn't worry about the Gui Yu clan anymore, but when they thought of the piles of bones and the innocent girls who died tragically, they still felt a little heavy.
"Take the pills first and treat your injuries." Mu Hanyan took out the pills and distributed them to Hua Yue and others.
In that tough battle just now, although no one's life was in danger, everyone was injured to varying degrees.
"Young Master, where are you going?" Seeing Mu Hanyan leaving alone, Zirong was a little worried and asked habitually, just like Hua Yue before. After asking, she felt that something was wrong and changed her words to call her Miss.
"Don't worry about me, I'll be back soon." Mu Hanyan waved her hand and went behind the cliff alone.
Soon, Zirong and others knew what she was doing.
Just after bandaging the wound, he saw a handsome young man coming towards him over the cliff. He was handsome and heroic, but his brow revealed a bit of the arrogance unique to a playboy.
Mu Hanyan's clothes were covered in blood, so it seemed she had gone to change clothes. But where did the young master hide his clothes? Everyone was puzzled.
Even Hua Yue and the others had to admit that Miss Mu, who was dressed as a man, was indeed dignified and had an extraordinary demeanor. However, at this moment, it seemed that something was not right no matter how you looked at it.
"Sister, it's already this late, there's no need to dress like this anymore." Mu Hanfeng said.
Hua Yue and the others didn't know her daughter's identity before, but now they all know it, so what's the point of dressing like this? To be honest, he still thinks Sister Han Yan is more approachable than Brother Han Yan.
"Which one do you think sounds better, the most dissolute young master in the capital, or the most dissolute young lady?" Mu Hanyan asked with a bit of frustration. Besides, she didn't have any women's clothes in her space, so of course she would wear men's clothes.
"Hmm... 'Dandy Young Master' sounds better." Mu Hanfeng pondered for a moment before answering, then adding with dissatisfaction, "I don't know what my parents are thinking. Even if they want to hide it, they don't have to go so far. Others just call you a dandy, and they follow suit, secretly fanning the flames and ruining your reputation. Dad is the most enthusiastic about it. He's basically the one who came up with all your obscene nicknames."
"Don't blame them, they are doing this for my own good." Mu Hanyan did not have any resentment. Thinking of her father's meticulous care behind his cold face, and her mother's deep maternal love that was willing to sacrifice her life for her daughter, a deep warmth welled up in her heart.
"In that case, you won't blame me anymore?" Mu Hanfeng's eyes lit up after hearing Mu Hanyan's words.
"You?" Mu Hanyan looked at him puzzledly.
