Tan Taixuan cast an earnest gaze on Yan Yi, the young master of the Yan family. Although the He family had unexpectedly sided with Mu Hanyan, in terms of strength, the He family was clearly no match for the Yan family. As long as the Yan family came over, he would still be able to suppress Mu Hanyan. Once they arrived in Luoan City, Mu Hanyan would beg him for help.
Before coming to Anyun, he also learned about some situations of the eight great families. He knew that the Yan family and the Mu family had become enemies more than a year ago. Now the eight great families are joining forces to fight the enemy, but at the same time they are also competing with each other for the ranking of the eight great families. No matter how he thinks about it, Yan Yi has no reason to join the Mu family.
Yan Yi thought for a moment and nodded to Tan Taixuan, who was overjoyed.
However, just as Yan Yi was about to take that step, an exceptionally tall figure among the Yan family members walked towards Mu Hanyan.
"Yu Chu, what are you doing?" Yan Yi asked in surprise.
Of course he knew what Yan Yuchu wanted to do, but he, the young master of the family, hadn't said anything yet, and Yan Yuchu acted on his own, and it was obvious that he disagreed with him. It was really too much of a disregard for him.
"Young Master, you saw what happened to the He family just now. You probably don't want this kind of thing to happen to you," Yan Yuchu said with a smile. But there was a chilling, threatening edge to her smile.
Yan Yi was startled, his eyes filled with panic, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead. What did Yan Yuchu mean by this? Could it be that he also had the Patriarch's Order? Considering how much the Patriarch valued him, this possibility was very high.
"Since we are supporting each other, we can't have one team that is too strong and the other that is too weak. I think my Yan family members should be in the same team with Young Master Mu." Yan Yi said without hesitation.
He didn't dare wait for Yan Yuchu to take out the order of the head of the family, because once he took out the order, his prestige would be greatly damaged, and he would never have the chance to take over the position of the head of the family again.
Soon, a group of Yan family members also stood behind Mu Hanyan.
Tan Taixuan's face turned livid. Although only two aristocratic families ultimately supported Mu Hanyan, and five others supported him, it was still far less than he had initially anticipated. More importantly, the He family was mid-table among the eight aristocratic families, significantly stronger than the Mo family. The Yan family was poised to become the pinnacle of the eight aristocratic families, consistently on par with the Mu family. A partnership between the Mu and Yan families was undoubtedly a formidable alliance, and in terms of momentum, they were no less impressive than the others.
"Mr. Tan Tai, although we are a little outnumbered, our strength seems to be acceptable. Don't worry, if you encounter danger and are unable to deal with it, we will do our best to rescue you. Bye first." The banquet should have ended long ago, and Mu Hanyan was not interested in wasting time with Tan Tai Xuan. She said hello and turned to leave. Of course, before leaving, she did not forget to rub salt into Tan Tai Xuan's wounds.
Even though they were outnumbered, when it came to strength, with her skills as a great swordsman, plus Hua Yue and the others, plus a group of Yan family disciples, they might not be worse than the other side. Tan Taixuan was wrong to use this little trick to control her.
"Hmph!" Watching Mu Hanyan leave, Tan Taixuan snorted coldly, but had nothing to say.
"Mr. Tantai, don't be angry. Although the Yan family and the Mu family have joined Mu Hanyan, in terms of numbers, we still have a lot more people than them." Mo Yanhong comforted him.
"Well, you're right. We have more people. On the battlefield, unless you have absolute strength to turn the tide, the number of troops is the key to victory or defeat. Let them be proud for a few days. They will eventually ask us for help." Tan Taixuan could only comfort himself in this way.
But when he said this, he hadn't considered one question: Did Mu Hanyan really not have the ability to turn the tide? Everything was just his assumption.
After leaving the palace, Mu Hanyan discussed the departure time for tomorrow with Yan Yi, He Qingwei and others, and then went back home.
As the saying goes, people with different ideals cannot work together. She is no longer interested in traveling with Tan Taixuan and others. They are hostile to each other and wary of each other. If they really encounter danger, they can't expect each other to come to their aid. It's good enough if she doesn't hold them back. It's better for her to go to Luoan City alone.
Everyone else left one after another, but Yan Yuchu still followed Mu Hanyan.
Last time in the freshman competition at Longyan College, he voluntarily gave up and admitted defeat to Mu Hanyan. This time, in order to force Yan Yi to join Mu Hanyan, he even threatened with the family head's order. Even a fool could guess that he had a friendship with Mu Hanyan, so he was too lazy to hide it.
"Where is your Patriarch's decree? Bring it to us to see. I didn't expect the old guys in the Yan family were so short-sighted that they handed the position of Patriarch to you." Jiang Yuzhe and Yan Yuchu had known each other for many years. In the past, he almost became his follower. He was not distant at all. He patted his shoulder and said.
"Who told you that I have the order from the head of the family?" Yan Yuchu rolled his eyes and said.
"No? Then what you did to Yan Yi just now..." Jiang Yuzhe looked at him in confusion.
"I lied to him, is that not okay? I didn't expect you to be as stupid as him and be fooled as well." Yan Yuchu said with contempt.
...Mu Hanyan and others were all surprised. It turned out that this guy was not only pretending to be cool, but also a liar.
"By the way, is there any problem with your cultivation again?" Mu Hanyan asked when she saw Yan Yuchu following her.
Yan Yuchu's inability to refine the power of the Heavenly Star had initially led to his stagnation. It was thanks to her Heavenly Heart Technique that he was able to refine the miscellaneous elements within, allowing his strength to soar. Of course, Mu Hanyan herself benefited greatly from this as well; her advancement to the realm of Sword Master before the age of sixteen was largely due to him.
"There is no problem with your cultivation, but there is someone who wants to see you." Yan Yuchu said.
As his strength increased, he was gradually able to refine the power of the stars by himself, so the reason he followed Mu Hanyan today was not because of this.
"Who?" Mu Hanyan asked.
"Ye Yanran." Yan Yuchu didn't have the habit of being mysterious, so he spoke directly.
"Ye Yanran, what happened to her?" Mu Hanyan was shocked. When she met Xia Youchen on her way to Shangyue, Mu Hanyan had already told him about Ye Yanran. She thought she should have left Longyan College and was with Xia Youchen, but how could she run into Yan Yuchu?
"He was seriously injured and probably won't survive," Yan Yuchu said.
"What? Where is she? Take me there quickly." Mu Hanyan said anxiously.
Not long after, Mu Hanyan met Ye Yanran in a house of the Yan family in the capital.
At this moment, Ye Yanran no longer had the vigor and vitality she once had. Her face was haggard and her breath was weak. Yan Yuchu was not exaggerating. Judging from her appearance, she was indeed not happy.
