Mu Hanyan was eating, but her eyes glanced at Princess Jinhua. Princess Jinhua's eyes naturally fell on Ye Lanxun, who was standing beside Mu Hanyan. The look of him wanting to say something but not being able to, making Mu Hanyan's teeth ache. If you didn't know better, you would think Ye Lanxun was a heartless man who had let Princess Jinhua down. When Princess Jinhua met Mu Hanyan's eyes, her expression instantly became complicated.
"Brother, who is that woman? Why is she looking at you?" Mu Hanfeng also felt Princess Jinhua's gaze and asked Mu Hanyan in a low voice.
"That's Princess Jinhua." Mu Hanyan also replied in a low voice, "Last time, she wanted to use me as a stepping stone to win Lan Xun's favor, but she ended up making things worse."
"What?" Mu Hanfeng twitched his lips. Mu Hanyan's words revealed so much information that it made him imagine a lot of things. But one thing was certain: Princess Jinhua liked Ye Lanxun, and Ye Lanxun and his sister were in love with each other. Okay, Princess Jinhua was going to be labeled a nuisance.
While the two siblings were whispering together, the emperor had already excitedly announced who the reception was for tonight. The word "excited" wasn't really appropriate for a monarch, but when everyone heard who the guest of honor was, they completely understood why the emperor was so happy.
"Today, the Saint of the Holy Court has come to our Anyun Kingdom. It is a great honor for our Anyun Kingdom." The emperor walked down quickly and went directly to Ye Lanxun's side. He said with a smile, "This is the Saint of the Holy Court, Lord Ye Lanxun."
What?
When the emperor finished speaking, everyone was shocked.
The Holy Court is the highest existence in the entire Holy Court Continent.
Not only reputation, but also strength.
The Holy See has almost become a god in people's hearts.
It has the power to change the ownership of a small country overnight, and it can also destroy a family that threatens a country overnight. You can imagine its influence and strength.
In the past, there had been people from the Holy See who came to Anyun Country, but most of them were envoys from the Holy See. No one of such noble status as a saint had ever come to Anyun Country.
Even though Mu Beichen was mature and steady, his expression changed at this moment.
Although I already knew that this future grandson-in-law was no ordinary person, I never expected that he had such a powerful background!
Mu Hanyan was also slightly startled, but then regained her composure. Regardless of Ye Lanxun's identity, he was still the Ye Lanxun she knew, the one who had always protected her and risked everything for her. Therefore, Mu Hanyan didn't care what his identity was.
There was a burst of exclamations in the hall, and Princess Jinhua held her chin high, with a look of pride that made people jealous.
Mu Chengxuan had actually been there today, too. He stared in astonishment at Ye Lanxun, who looked so calm and composed. His face was burning. He had once treated this gentleman like a servant and even humiliated him. He'd called him Mu Hanyan's servant, and just a moment ago, he'd been scornful of Mu Hanyan for bringing a servant to such a grand banquet. Now, he wished he could find a hole to crawl into. What had gotten into his head to think someone else was a servant? Mu Chengxuan felt he'd never been so embarrassed in his life.
The most interesting expression in the hall belonged to the Fifth Prince. Qu Fengting stood behind the Fifth Prince with a dull look on his face. He was shocked by this incident, but it didn't seem that difficult to accept. It didn't seem very surprising either. Whenever someone got involved with Mu Hanyan, they would always be in trouble... He glanced at the Fifth Prince and saw his face turn from blue to white, from white to black, and from black to red, just like changing his face. It was very interesting. Thinking of what the Fifth Prince had said just now in order to recruit Lord Ye, Qu Fengting shuddered. What a miserable life! Why did his face always get swollen every time he met Mu Hanyan? This time, his face was not swollen, but broken!
At this moment, the Fifth Prince felt as if the sky was falling and the earth was splitting, and there was no hope for life... He didn't dare move, fearing that if he did, the water in his brain would spill out. That person was, the Saint, the most noble Saint of the Holy Court. Who the hell said he was a servant? How could he have been so blind to think that person was a servant? That strength, that demeanor, like a servant? What should he do now? Will the Lord be angry and pull his head off? If the Emperor knew that he had humiliated that Lord, not only would he not save him, he would probably pull off his head and let the Saint use it as a stool. Now he finally understood what Ye Lanxuan meant by that.
Of course, he couldn't give Lord Ye what he wanted. He was a Saint of the Holy Court! Lord Ye could give him the throne he wanted. It was mainly because of the Saint's intervention that the succession to the throne could really be changed. Ahhhhh! It was over... If only he had been able to cling to someone powerful. Why was Mu Hanyan so lucky? Why was he so miserable? The Fifth Prince stood there trembling with fear, not moving. He had only one wish in his heart: that the noble Saint would treat him like a piece of shit and let him go!
After that night, Ye Lanxun naturally did not return to the Mu family with Mu Hanyan, but went to the inn. Mu Hanyan returned home with the Mu family, and Ye Lanxun's identity quickly spread throughout the Mu family.
"Wow, I didn't expect Brother Ye to have such a noble status." Zirong screamed exaggeratedly.
"I just remember that he once said with confidence that he was a lackey of the adults. Who gave him the courage to say that?" Hua Yue teased.
"Love gave him courage." Jiang Yuzhe said sadly.
After he finished speaking, Zirong and Huayue looked at him with strange eyes.
"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?" Jiang Yuzhe felt uneasy when he was looked at by the two men, and asked nervously.
"Eating walnuts is indeed useful." Hua Yue patted Jiang Yuzhe's shoulder, looking like a teachable child.
"Keep eating and eat more in the future." Zirong said with an encouraging expression.
Jiang Yuzhe's mouth twitched, and after grinding his teeth, he finally couldn't help but draw his sword. The three of them immediately started fighting in the yard, making a clanging sound.
Mu Hanyan and Mu Hanfeng sat calmly on the stone bench in the yard, watching the three people playing.
…
The next day was the college's enrollment day, but Ye Lanxuan came to say goodbye to Mu Hanyan early in the morning before dawn.
"Are you really leaving?" Mu Hanyan looked at Ye Lanxun reluctantly.
"Well, there are some things I need to find answers to." Ye Lanxuan's eyes were full of reluctance, but he still said firmly.
"Because of the man wearing the silver mask?" Mu Hanyan saw the indescribable complex emotions in his eyes again, and the mysterious figure suddenly flashed through her mind.
"I once had a best friend who was also my brother and my teacher. He taught me a lot. I once thought he was dead. Everyone said he was dead." Ye Lanxuan said in a deep voice.
Through his eyes, Mu Hanyan seemed to see the sadness in his heart.
