The deacons and guards of the Holy Dan Peak all frowned. When Han Minggao spoke earlier, they also thought that Mu Hanyan had done something to the alchemy furnace, and she must be feeling guilty after being seen through. However, they did not expect that Mu Hanyan did not feel guilty at all. Instead, Han Minggao was scolded by her, but she did not dare to point out any real evidence, which seemed like she was feeling guilty.
After a quick thought, they roughly guessed what had happened. They figured that the person who had tampered with the furnace must have been Han Yutang himself, but something went wrong, and instead of harming Mu Hanyan, he blew himself up half to death.
Although they had some repulsion and hostility towards Mu Hanyan and other descendants of the Guardians of the Gods from various continents, upon learning the whole story, they despised Han Yutang's despicable behavior even more, and by extension, they also felt hatred for Han Minggao, who had aided and abetted the evil. Seeing him being scolded by Mu Hanyan, no one spoke up; they all just watched coldly.
"How dare you be rude to me! I've heard that the young master of the Mu family is a playboy, but I didn't expect that he would be so arrogant after coming to the Holy Court. If I don't teach you a lesson today, you won't know what the sky is and the earth is!" Noticing their contemptuous looks, Han Minggao became even more angry and drew his sword and shouted sternly.
Seeing that he clearly couldn't produce any real evidence, but was still so domineering and insisted on making things difficult for Mu Hanyan, the deacons and guards of Shengdan Peak frowned even more.
"You are so arrogant! I also want to know what the sky is high and the earth is deep. How about you teach me a lesson?" At this moment, Jian Wuchen appeared at the door of the hall.
"Uncle Wuchen!" Han Minggao's expression changed slightly, and he saluted Jian Wuchen and said.
Although Jian Wuchen's right arm had been disabled for many years and many people did not take him seriously, after all, his seniority was there, and not many people dared to contradict him in person.
"Let's go." Jian Wuchen had an arrogant look on his face. He didn't even look at him and led Mu Hanyan and the group out.
Han Minggao moved his lips, but in the end, he said nothing and watched Mu Hanyan and the others leave.
Ultimately, what happened today was Han Yutang's own fault. If Jian Wuchen hadn't been there, he could have used his status to find an excuse to punish Mu Hanyan and avenge Han Yutang. However, in front of Jian Wuchen, he absolutely didn't dare to make a big deal out of it. Otherwise, if he exposed it to the Holy Lord, with his vision and wisdom, he would be able to see through what was going on at a glance.
Han Yutang is fine, he has been naughty since he was a child, and his grandfather and great-grandfather have saved the life of the Holy Lord. Although his means this time were despicable, he failed to hurt Mu Hanyan at all. Instead, he was seriously injured, which can be regarded as a punishment. Even if the Holy Lord knew about it, he would only scold him and let it go.
But at his age, he still followed Han Yutang in making trouble. If the Lord Saint knew about it, he would be severely punished. If he made a big deal about it in front of Jian Wuchen, wouldn't that be shooting himself in the foot?
Although he was unwilling to accept this, after weighing the pros and cons, Han Minggao ultimately chose to keep the peace. Looking at the receding figures of Mu Hanyan and the others, Han Minggao sighed and instructed several disciples to carry Han Yutang and the henchman back to Shenlao Peak.
When Mu Hanyan and others walked out of the hall, they saw Tan Taixuan dragging a broom, hunched over and gazing into the distance.
After not seeing him for a while, he no longer had the frivolous air he used to have. Although he looked a little down and out, he had become more reserved and steady. It seemed that the incident at Qingyang Pass had dealt him a heavy blow, and he had become more mature.
"Thank you for what I did just now." Mu Hanyan gathered her energy and spoke in a voice transmission as she passed by him.
It is obvious that Dan Taixuan's life is not easy after returning to the Holy Court. His status has plummeted and he has been reduced from an outer court deacon to a menial servant. Mu Hanyan does not want to harm him because of what happened today.
"I should be the one to say thank you." Tan Taixuan turned his head and said seriously.
"Oh?" Mu Hanyan looked into his eyes.
"The incident at Qingyang Pass made me understand a lot, and I also learned a lot from you. I think it's not too late to start over now." Tan Taixuan said with a smile.
"Well, there's still time." Mu Hanyan nodded.
"Maybe one day we will become friends?" Tan Taixuan tilted his head and said with some anticipation.
"We are friends now." Mu Hanyan stretched out her hand.
It is always better to have more friends than more enemies. Although Tan Taixuan had bad intentions in the past, he had never done anything harmful to the world. Since he is willing to start over, Mu Hanyan is naturally willing to make friends with him.
"Yes, we are friends now." Tan Taixuan also extended his hand.
The two shook hands lightly and smiled to put aside their grudges.
Zhuang Ping'an and the others watched the two, their blood boiling. While they didn't know what past grudges existed between Mu Hanyan and Tan Taixuan, their conversation suggested their relationship was likely less than harmonious, likely more enemies than friends. And from the excitement and joy in Tan Taixuan's eyes as he finally shook hands with Mu Hanyan, it was clear he was truly convinced of her. To be her friend was a profound honor.
To be able to earn such admiration from former enemies, what kind of broad-mindedness and courage, and what kind of personal charm does it take? At this moment, following behind Yu Mu Hanyan, even they felt deeply proud.
…
"Uncle Wuchen, why are you here?" Mu Hanyan asked curiously on the way back.
"I saw that you hadn't returned for a long time, so I came to check on you out of fear that something might have happened. I didn't expect that my guess would come true. The reputation of being the most dissolute young lady in Anyun really lives up to its reputation. It was said in the past that Han Yutang was the most dissolute young man in the Holy Court. I think it won't be long before that title belongs to you." Jian Wuchen said with emotion.
"I have no choice. It's his fault for wanting to harm me. In fact, what I hate most is the name of a playboy. But wherever I go, there are people who are blind enough to pick a fight with me. It's really hard to keep a low profile." Mu Hanyan said helplessly, complaining to others for the first time.
Zhuang Ping'an and the others looked at Mu Hanyan with sympathy. They had witnessed everything that happened today. If Han Yutang hadn't deliberately plotted against them and repeatedly humiliated them, Mu Hanyan wouldn't have taken action, and Han Yutang wouldn't have ended up like that. Ultimately, Mu Hanyan couldn't be blamed; she was forced into this situation.
"Is it really that difficult? Since you have already seen through his restriction, you should have just ignored it. But you insisted on using some tricks and ended up blowing others up like that." Jian Wuchen said with both amusement and anger, but there was no intention of scolding. His eyes were full of the love of an elder for a younger generation.
