"Your Highness, why don't we not set our sights on him?" Qu Fengting couldn't help but feel frightened when he heard the Fifth Prince mention Mu Hanyan again.
"Time is running out. If we don't target him, who else can we target? Hurry and think of a solution. This might be our only chance," the Fifth Prince said helplessly. He knew his time was running out. He had been back in the capital for quite some time, and not only had he accomplished nothing, he had become a laughing stock among the other princes. If he didn't think of a solution, his father would most likely banish him from the capital, and he might not even have many chances to return.
Alas, if I had known this would be the result, I would have not picked on Mu Hanyan. If I wanted to establish my authority, I could have done it with anyone else. Why did I have to kick against the iron plate?
Unfortunately, things have come to this point, and the Fifth Prince has no way out and can only go down this path to the end.
"Well... the way to employ people is to persuade them with reason and motivate them with benefits. That person followed Mu Hanyan because he was definitely interested in benefits. After all, Mu Hanyan is the eldest grandson of the head of the Mu clan, and he has some skills and tactics, so he can provide him with many benefits.
As the fifth prince, His Highness is no weaker than Han Yan in terms of background, and his strength is actually not far behind. It's just that he has been away from the capital for too long and lost the initiative, which is why he is controlled by others everywhere.
As long as Your Highness can let him see the true majesty of the royal family, he will naturally understand that Your Highness's status is far more noble than Mu Hanyan's, and that following Your Highness offers far greater prospects than following Mu Hanyan. If Your Highness then treats him with sincerity, there is no need to worry about him not serving Your Highness. Although he really didn't want to provoke Mu Hanyan again, since the Fifth Prince asked, Qu Fengting had no choice but to speak.
He is now a rat crossing the street in Anyun Kingdom, and can only gain a foothold by seeking refuge under the fifth prince.
Although he said so, Qu Fengting disagreed in his heart. The Fifth Prince had been repeatedly humiliated by Mu Hanyan since returning to the capital. It was no easy task for him to show others the true majesty of the royal family.
"Is that so?" The Fifth Prince pondered for a moment after hearing his words. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he said happily, "I have a solution. I have a solution. This is really a wake-up call. Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Seeing the Fifth Prince's ecstatic look, Qu Fengting suddenly felt a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart: I was just responding casually, why did he take it seriously? This time, I hope I will end up losing more than I gain.
…
As soon as she returned to the Mu family, Mu Hanyan went to visit her grandfather and told him in detail about Yue Fanchen and her guess.
After hearing Mu Hanyan's words, Mu Beichen was silent for a long time, and no one knew what he was thinking.
"Your guess is not unreasonable. It may not be that simple for Yue Fanchen to come to our Anyun Country at this time." After a long while, Mu Beichen nodded and said.
"Oh." Mu Hanyan looked at Mu Beichen strangely, always feeling that he was a little uneasy.
"You don't have to worry too much. When the enemy comes, we will fight him. When the water comes, we will block it with earth. Also, if you really fight with Yue Fanchen, you should show mercy when you can." Mu Beichen noticed Mu Hanyan's strange look, coughed lightly, and added.
After hearing what her grandfather said, Mu Hanyan was even more puzzled. Although Mu Beichen always acted calm and composed, Mu Hanyan knew that as the head of the family, her grandfather was not as kind as he appeared.
Even when he was dealing with the Grand Elder, he never said anything about showing mercy. How come he has become so merciful now?
"I am also thinking about the overall situation. After all, the restoration of the friendship between Anyun and Shangyue is a good thing for both the country and the people." Mu Beichen said with a long sigh.
Mu Hanyan suddenly realized that as a citizen of Anyun, even if he was the head of the Mu family, one of the eight great families, it seemed reasonable for Mu Beichen to put the national status first in everything.
"Okay, I'm a little tired, you go back first." Mu Beichen waved his hand.
"Then grandpa, you should rest well. I'm going to go see Yun Bo and Mu Sha. They left in a hurry last time, and I haven't thanked them properly yet." Mu Hanyan said.
"They are still recuperating in the backyard. I'll have someone take you there." Mu Beichen called a guard and led Mu Hanyan to the backyard.
After not seeing each other for a few days, both of them looked much better and it seemed that their injuries were almost healed.
Mu Hanyan felt very relieved. After thanking the two of them, she returned to her own yard.
While walking on the road, Mu Hanyan recalled Mu Beichen's previous uneasy look. Although his explanation was reasonable and Mu Hanyan believed it at the time, now when she thought about it carefully, she always felt that something was wrong.
But after thinking about it, she couldn't figure out the reason, and she didn't want to bother her grandfather again just because of a strange feeling, so she put the matter behind her for the time being.
Mu Hanyan did not notice that in the distance, Mu Beichen was standing behind the window, watching her departing back from afar, thinking about something, and his expression became unusually serious.
"The sun and the moon alternate, the heaven and the earth revolve. The gods descend into the world, and the universe returns to its place! Perhaps, this legend will really come true in her." Mu Beichen sighed softly in a voice that only he could hear.
Over the next few days, Mu Hanyan began to focus on her training, preparing for the Longyan College admissions election. Mu Hanfeng was also diligently training.
The sky is high and the clouds are light, the sky is clear and blue, and a cool breeze blows through the courtyard shaded by the trees.
Mu Hanyan kept practicing sword skills, but she was sweating profusely. She had to pause for a moment after each sword thrust, and looked very strenuous.
"Sir, this set of swordsmanship should be derived from Doctor Sun's set of meridian separation and pulse cutting." Hua Yue and others felt familiar with it and asked curiously.
"You have good eyesight, but this sword technique is not derived from the Meridian-Splitting and Meridian-Interrupting Hand. On the contrary, the Meridian-Splitting and Meridian-Interrupting Hand is actually derived from this sword technique." Mu Hanyan was so tired that she stopped for a while and answered while drinking water.
Yes, this set of swordsmanship is exactly the Nine Heavens Star Falling Sword set inherited from the memory of the Aolai divine beast. In order to save people, Mu Hanyan secretly learned a few moves of Sun Changsheng's Meridian-Splitting and Vein-Severing Hands. By accident, she actually awakened a part of the divine beast's memory and comprehended this Nine Heavens Star Falling Sword set.
However, the time was short after all, and her understanding was just a flash of inspiration in her mind, far from being proficient, so she was unable to use it when she went to the Valley of Broken Souls.
There are only a few days left until the enrollment election of Longyan College. It is too late to prepare the elixir again to enter the star disk space to improve her cultivation. Besides, her cultivation has improved fast enough recently. If she continues to improve like this, her foundation will inevitably be unstable. So Mu Hanyan focused her attention on this set of Nine Heavens Star Falling Sword.
After all, it is inherited from the memory of the Aolai divine beast, and it is very likely the sword technique used by its powerful master. As long as it can be thoroughly comprehended, the improvement in combat power may be greater than directly improving the cultivation level.
