"You won't cheat again this time, right?" Mu Hanyan said worriedly.
"I swear on the honor of a swordsman and the reputation of my master, as long as you let me leave this formation, these pills will be regarded as apology, and I will give them all to you." Han Yutang was so anxious that he was about to vomit blood. I have been so humble and don't care about my face at all, and you still don't believe me?
He forgot that if he hadn't been playing tricks before, how could the other party suspect him?
"Okay, then I'll believe you this time. You dug the hole next to it yourself, right? How could you forget it?" Mu Hanyan pointed to the dog hole and said.
Everyone was stunned, and Han Yutang opened his mouth and stared blankly, almost slapping himself hard.
The only flaw in his Thousand Illusions Demon Subduing Formation was that dog hole. Of course, he had left this flaw intentionally in order to humiliate the opponent. It was also for this reason that he had not thought of it.
"Hurry up, the formation is about to be activated again. Also, remember your previous promise and don't cheat this time." Mu Hanyan pointed at the thousands of sword beams that were condensing and urged.
"You are so cruel!" Han Yutang gritted his teeth, lowered his head, and crawled out of the dog hole.
Almost at the moment he crawled out of the dog hole, a slight click sound came from above his head, and the faint light of the formation seemed to be cut in half by an invisible sword. The unique aura of the formation quickly dissipated, and the thousands of sword beams that were about to condense into shape again also disappeared.
The formation is broken, it’s broken just like that!
Looking at Han Yutang, who had just stuck his head out with half of his body still in the dog hole, everyone had a dull look in their eyes. They wanted to laugh but were too embarrassed to laugh out loud.
Han Yutang tilted his head back, and was unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
"You, you are kidding me!" After a while, Han Yutang pointed at Mu Hanyan and yelled.
"Don't accuse me. You set up the formation yourself. How could I know it would suddenly break?" Mu Hanyan spread her hands. Her expression was so helpless, so innocent, and her eyes were so clear.
If they hadn't known her reputation as Anyun's most dissolute young lady, and hadn't witnessed her calmness and composure in dealing with Han Yutang, and her unfathomable foresight, some might have believed him. But now, no one believed him. Clearly, Han Yutang had been severely tricked by Mu Hanyan, apologizing and making amends, and finally, crawling out of a dog hole he had dug himself, suffering humiliation.
"Don't dig holes randomly in the future. Oh no, don't dig holes randomly. Be low-key, be low-key." Mu Hanyan certainly didn't care whether others believed it or not. She stepped forward, picked up the pills, turned around and left with Zhuang Pingan and others.
Although Han Yutang was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood and wanted to stab Mu Hanyan to death with a sword, he was exhausted at this time and dared not do it. What's more, he had sworn before that even if he didn't want to save his own face, he couldn't throw away his master's face as well.
"Who are you?" Han Yutang asked gritting his teeth.
"An Yun, Mu family, Mu Hanyan." Mu Hanyan paused and said.
"I, Han Yutang, have taken note of today's events. Let's go." Han Yutang picked up the array formation instruments and led the others away. Of course, the sycophantic henchman, who had been nearly killed by the might of the thunder sword, was half-carried, half-dragged away like a dead dog.
Seeing them coming in with such momentum but leaving in disgrace in the end, all the descendants of the gods' guardians burst into laughter, and a few lively teenagers even whistled.
As children of major families and even royal families, and descendants of the gods' guardians, they have bullied others many times, but this is the first time they have been bullied to the point of being bullied. It is also the first time for them to feel proud of themselves, which is a unique and moving feeling.
"By the way, let's share these pills. Just choose whatever pill you need." Mu Hanyan took out the pills and said to Zhuang Ping'an and others.
"Han Yutang's willingness to offer these pills as an apology is a testament to Young Master Mu's ability. Young Master Mu, just divide them up." Zhuang Ping'an and Sang Qinghe said in unison. Although they still looked at Mu Hanyan with awe, unlike before, there was more fear than respect.
No wonder Mu Hanyan is known as the most dissolute young lady in Anyun. In addition to her strength and scheming, her ruthless style of not showing mercy when she strikes makes everyone sigh in admiration.
Mu Hanyan smiled faintly. This was exactly what she wanted. To convince these proud, even unruly descendants of the gods' guardians to submit to her, relying solely on virtue was impossible. Attempting to persuade them with reason or emotion was sheer nonsense. Making them fear her first was the most important thing.
"I don't know what kind of elixir you need, so you can choose it yourselves." Although Mu Hanyan didn't like intrigue, she also knew that using both kindness and force was the most basic way to control people, so she said it sincerely.
"Are we really going to choose for ourselves?" Seeing that Mu Hanyan's words were sincere and did not sound insincere, Zhuang Ping'an asked tentatively.
Although those pills were stored in jade bottles, just by looking at the color through the jade bottles, he knew that their quality was extraordinary, several times stronger than the best pills in the alchemy workshops of various countries. In fact, he was still very tempted.
"Do you think I'm the kind of person who likes to dig holes?" Mu Hanyan said with a smile, obviously mocking Han Yutang for going back on his word and getting into trouble.
After hearing her words, everyone else smiled knowingly.
"Then I'll choose this one." Zhuang Pingan said as he picked up a pill. This time, he didn't choose the highest grade one, but the one that suited him best.
"Then I'll choose this one." Sang Qinghe also chose one. Seeing that Zhuang Ping'an didn't try to take advantage of him this time, he also restrained himself and chose only the one that suited him.
Seeing that the two of them had made their choice, the others also came forward and each chose the pill that best suited them.
Yue Fanchen, a group of Shangyue practitioners, and Hua Yue and the others fell behind. They also understood that this was Mu Hanyan's best opportunity to establish her authority through both kindness and force, so they naturally wouldn't compete with outsiders. Besides, they were well aware of Mu Hanyan's alchemy skills, so how could they really let them suffer a loss?
The cultivators from Northern Qi and Western Qin, led by Zhuang Laian and Sang Qinghe, did not know this. Seeing that they waited until they had made their choice before Mu Hanyan and others took action, they felt ashamed and admired her even more.
"What a great pill!" A young man couldn't wait to open the jade bottle and exclaimed in praise.
Although they had long guessed that the Holy Court's elixirs were several times stronger than those of the other countries on the mainland, when they actually opened the jade bottle, they were still amazed at the quality of the elixir.
The pill was crystal clear, and its surface emitted a luster like jade. What was even more surprising was that there was a layer of light mist floating outside the pill, just like the legendary fairy elixir.
The others also opened their jade bottles and praised the product highly.
