You know, she had spent all her time and effort, but she couldn't unlock the secret of the jade pendant. This old man didn't use any hand gestures, but just held it for a moment, and he actually repaired it like this. Mu Hanyan had never seen or heard of such alchemy skills before.
"Thank you for your help, old sir. I haven't asked you for anything yet..." Mu Hanyan raised her head again, but her expression was even more surprised, and she couldn't say a word.
There was no one in front of him, as if the old man had never appeared.
"No...it couldn't be a ghost. How could it disappear in broad daylight?" Beside him, Yue Xiuming stared with a look of astonishment, and even his voice was trembling slightly.
Mu Hanyan was also shocked. With her keen senses, any movement within a few feet would be difficult to hide from her eyes, let alone something right in front of her. However, this old man just disappeared from her sight out of thin air, and she didn't even notice it.
Of course, she didn't think it was a ghost, but rather that the old man was so powerful that even her sharp senses could not lock on to him.
"Is that old man a human or a ghost? Is he plotting something?" The more Xiuming thought about it, the more uneasy he became, and he said worriedly.
"Don't worry, he probably has no ill intentions." Mu Hanyan said.
With this old man's incredible strength, there was no need for him to go through so much trouble to harm her. He could have just slapped her directly, and there was no need to help her repair the jade pendant. No matter who he was or what his purpose was, he had helped her a lot. Mu Hanyan didn't think he had any malicious intentions.
"By the way, how did he know the secret of my rebirth?" When Mu Hanyan thought of this, a name suddenly flashed in her mind: Lu Guantian.
Even her parents were unaware of her rebirth. Perhaps, only a truly skilled astrology master could have noticed the clues. Qu Shanling's master Lu Guantian was undoubtedly one of them. In addition, this Lu Guantian seemed to have a close connection with herself. Many things were related to him, even her own rebirth was related to him. It was no surprise that Mu Hanyan would associate it with him.
But after a moment's reflection, Mu Hanyan felt it was unlikely. As far as she knew, Lu Guantian wasn't very strong, having spent years hiding from the Holy Court's pursuit. Meanwhile, the old man's strength was unfathomable; even among Sword Saints, he must be a top-tier expert.
No matter how hard she thought, she couldn't figure it out. Miss Mu still had her old habits and didn't think about it any more.
After carefully looking at the mountains and rivers shown in the jade pendant and memorizing them firmly in her heart, Mu Hanyan threw the jade pendant into the star disk space.
"Lord Mu, where are we going now?" Yue Xiuming had a look of fear on his face just now, as if he had seen a ghost in broad daylight, but he quickly regained his spirits and spirits, looking at the bustling scene on the street, he said excitedly.
As for the tens of millions in IOUs, and the interest rates that were even more unbearable than usury, he had long since forgotten about them. Seeing this guy's heartless demeanor, even Mu Hanyan couldn't help but admire him; this guy really had a lot of nerve.
"Let's buy a carriage first, find an inn to rest for a night, and then set off tomorrow morning." Mu Hanyan said.
It was getting late anyway. No matter how hard they hurried, they wouldn't reach the capital today. It would be better to buy a carriage and set off tomorrow. With the speed of the Red Charcoal Cloud Beast, it wouldn't be much slower. Mu Hanyan was also tired after so many days of desperate escape in the Longyan Mountains. She just wanted to take a bath and have a good sleep.
"Okay, let's find a place to have a nice meal." Yue Xiuming's eyes lit up and he said while swallowing his saliva.
"Do you have money?" Mu Hanyan asked unhappily.
"I'll write you an IOU, 8% interest." Yue Xiuming said shamelessly, with a bit of the attitude of "too many lice to itch, too much debt to worry about."
Mu Hanyan shook her head. She was helpless against this guy's lazy nature. No wonder the current emperor of Shangyue disliked this guy.
Yue Xiuming casually pulled a passerby over to ask for directions, and the two of them walked towards the market that specialized in selling horse-drawn carriages.
Shortly after the two left, a figure suddenly appeared at the corner of the street. It was the old man who had disappeared quietly before.
"It seems this girl has guessed my origins. Should I just tell her the truth?" the old man muttered to himself, then shook his head. "Never mind. She might not believe me even if I tell her. Let's just wait for her to see for herself. This could be an opportunity for her. Besides, that old freak will never guess that I've recovered from my injuries. If the news leaks out, all our efforts will be wasted."
After saying this, the old man's figure shook slightly and disappeared again.
As soon as I arrived at the market, I saw a crowd of people and a lot of noise in front of me.
"What happened up ahead?" Yue Xiuming, who had been used to being a little prince and was used to ordering people around, grabbed a passerby and asked.
"I heard that several spies from Anyun Country were discovered, and the city lord is about to arrest them and bring them to justice." The man saw that although he was dressed in dust, he exuded the dandy air of a young man from a noble family. He did not dare to get angry and spoke honestly.
"Let's go and take a look at the spies from Anyun Country. These spies from Anyun Country are so bold that they actually sneaked into Dingbian City. It would be disastrous if they were allowed to sneak into the capital. In my opinion, they should be broken off and paraded through the streets." Yue Xiuming said as if he was afraid that the world would not be in chaos, completely forgetting Mu Hanyan's identity.
"Oh, really?" Mu Hanyan gave him a cold look.
"Uh..." Yue Xiuming was stunned at first, and then he finally realized Mu Hanyan's identity, and his face turned pale with fright.
He was afraid that Mu Hanyan would beat her up in anger. He had finally seen Mu Hanyan in these Longyan Mountains. If Mu Hanyan wanted to attack him, he was afraid that he would not even have the heart to resist.
"It's ten percent interest every month, and it will be turned into an IOU in a while." Mu Hanyan said with a cold face.
"Oh, okay." Yue Xiuming said with a happy face.
"Do you have a lot of money?" Mu Hanyan couldn't help asking, as she had never seen anyone so happy despite being burdened with high-interest loans.
"No, it's just that the difference between 10% and 8% doesn't seem that big, so it doesn't matter," Yue Xiuming answered honestly. It's true that too many lice don't itch, and too much debt doesn't worry. Besides, anything that can be solved with money is not a big deal. Between getting beaten and paying, the dandy little prince should choose the latter.
Mu Hanyan suddenly felt a little regretful. Maybe it would be better to beat up such a heartless guy.
"The city lord said that I am a spy. Do you have any evidence?" At this time, an old voice came from the front. It was neither humble nor arrogant, and sounded somewhat familiar.
Mu Hanyan was curious and didn't bother to argue with Yue Xiuming, so she walked forward quickly.
