After thinking about it, Mu Hanyan denied this guess. How could an ambitious man like Wu Tianxiong lose his composure for an illegitimate child?
You have to know that he's not too old. Once you reach the level of Sword Saint, your lifespan can stretch for hundreds or even thousands of years. Furthermore, once you cross the threshold of Sword Saint, you can regenerate your vitality. It's not an exaggeration to say you've regained your youth. Many cultivators, in their early years, waited hundreds of years to marry and have children in order not to waste their time. If Jing Jianjue was crippled, he could just have another one. It was even more unlikely that they would lose their composure because of him.
"Grandma, did Wu Tianxiong know that your cultivation is restricted by the forbidden technique?" Mu Hanyan asked.
Given Wu Tianxiong's ambition and forbearance, he would never take risks easily unless he knew the secret of why his grandmother's power was restricted by the strange forbidden technique. This was the only possibility Mu Hanyan could think of.
"Maybe the forbidden technique was triggered when I fought with Wu Tianxiong last time. I felt something was wrong in the past few days, and suddenly there were signs of him going crazy. There must be spies planted by Wu Tianxiong among the palace guards and maids. This news may have reached his ears." Lu Nianxin said.
"Just two hours ago, a master at the level of Sword Saint quietly sneaked into the palace and fought with me for more than a hundred moves. I injured him and he escaped from the palace, but I was also injured. If I am not mistaken, that person is most likely Wu Tianxiong's man, and he is now sure that my strength is much less than before." After a pause, Lu Nianxin continued.
"Grandma, you are injured!" Mu Hanyan was shocked and instinctively went to take Lu Nianxin's pulse.
"It's okay, the imperial physician has examined me, and my injury is not serious." Lu Nianxin comforted Mu Hanyan, but did not stop Mu Hanyan.
Mu Hanyan carefully felt Lu Nianxin's pulse. She was not entirely comforting Mu Hanyan. The injury was indeed not serious, but the energy in her body was even weaker. Her strength at this moment was at most equivalent to the second or third level of swordsman, which was the level of a beginner swordsman. Moreover, her strength was sometimes strong and sometimes weak, which was extremely unstable. If she really had to fight, she might not even be able to exert the strength of a third level swordsman.
"Grandma, why didn't you tell me earlier that you were possessed?" Mu Hanyan felt a pang of sadness in her heart and complained. Only then did she realize that her grandmother had not been in seclusion practicing these days, but was regulating her body because she was possessed.
"I heard a few days ago that Zirong had an attack of poison in her body, and you were already exhausted trying to detoxify her. How could I let you worry again? I only have this precious granddaughter like you, and I don't want you to become an old woman because of worry at such a young age." Lu Nianxin said jokingly, but the kindness and concern in her eyes made people's eyes sore.
Not to mention Mu Hanyan, even Zirong and others were moved by it, and they were full of respect for this kind old man.
"Han Yan, I've already discussed this with Fan Yi and Fan Chen. Although Wu Tianxiong is certain that there's something wrong with my body, he won't act rashly tonight.
Firstly, he was not sure whether I was ill or not, and he was afraid that his ambition would be exposed, so he did not dare to make arrangements in advance. Therefore, he would not dare to take action tonight.
Firstly, our Shangyue Kingdom was founded on military power. Although the royal power is not as sacred and inviolable as that of other countries, if he wants to replace our Yue family, Wu Tianxiong must prove to the officials in the court and the people of the country that his cultivation is stronger than our Yue family. In other words, it also proves that our Yue family is on the decline and has low strength, and is no longer qualified to occupy the throne of Shangyue.
So, you still have a chance to leave Shangyue tonight. If you leave after tomorrow, it will be difficult for you to leave." Lu Nianxin continued.
"Why?" Mu Hanyan asked in confusion.
"Tomorrow is the annual Jinlan Hui of our Yue and Wu families. Actually, it is a palace banquet held to commemorate the sworn brotherhood between the ancestors of the Yue and Wu families. All the members of the Wu clan and the officials of the court will attend.
According to the tradition of the Jinlan Society, the descendants of the Yue family and the descendants of the Wu family will have a sword fight in the middle of the banquet to liven up the atmosphere. In the past, it was usually just a casual exchange between the younger generations, but this time, Wu Tianxiong should challenge me personally to prove his strength.
After defeating me, he will most likely rebel immediately. If I can defeat him, it will be fine. If I can't defeat him, the Yue family will be destroyed.
Hanyan, promise me that you will leave Shangyue immediately and take good care of Xiuming. If I am truly powerless to save him, Xiuming will be the only male heir in our Yue family. ” Lu Nianxin looked at Mu Hanyan expectantly, hoping that she would agree to her request and leave as soon as possible.
Beside him, Yue Xiuming's eyes were already red and he clenched his fists tightly. He was obviously unwilling to leave Shangyue, but he had been forced by the Empress Dowager and the Emperor to agree immediately. Now he could not change his words, let alone change his words in front of Mu Hanyan.
"I won't leave." If it were something else, facing her grandmother's almost begging, Mu Hanyan would definitely agree without hesitation, but this time, she shook her head firmly.
"Hanyan..." Lu Nianxin looked at Mu Hanyan anxiously.
"Grandma, I am also a descendant of the Yue family. How can I leave when the family is in danger? If I leave, how will I have the face to see my mother in the future? Not to mention her, I won't even have the face to see myself. I must stay." Mu Hanyan said firmly.
"Why are you so stubborn? What's the point of you staying? Are you going to die with me, an old woman?" Of course, in Lu Nianxin's eyes, her determination turned into stubbornness, the old woman shouted angrily.
"Of course not. I want to stay and help grandma remove the suppression of that strange forbidden technique." Mu Hanyan explained, not wanting to make her grandma angry.
"Have you found a way to remove the forbidden technique?" Lu Nianxin looked at Mu Hanyan in surprise.
"Not yet, but someone should be able to think of a way. I think he will be here soon." Mu Hanyan showed a faint smile on her face, and a different kind of intimacy was revealed in her calmness.
A fluffy little creature jumped into her arms, its two tiny paws grasping at her collar. Its small eyes looked pitifully at Mu Hanyan, its expression as if it was working so hard and being so tired, begging for comfort and caress. It was none other than Ang Ang, the messenger between her and Ye Lanxun. Mu Hanyan smiled and stroked Ang Ang's head. Ang Ang closed his eyes contentedly and rubbed his head against Mu Hanyan's palm.
That night, when Mu Hanyan heard her grandmother say that the person who hurt her might be someone from the Holy Court, she immediately asked Ang Ang to pass a message to Ye Lanxun. Just before her grandmother entered the yard, Ang Ang came back. With Ye Lanxun's speed, he should be here soon.
"Han Yan." As soon as the words fell, Ye Lanxuan's familiar and kind voice came into his ears.
He used the method of gathering sound into lines, but he was still several miles away.
"Lan Xun!" Mu Hanyan raised her head in surprise and looked in the direction where Ye Lan Xun was flying.
"Is the person who came here your dream?" Grandma noticed the strange look on Mu Hanyan's face and said jokingly.
