"Senior Sister, you can't go back on your word! You promised to take me to the sect's new disciple selection today." The voice belonged to a girl of about thirteen or fourteen. She wore no makeup, and was as fresh as a lotus flower emerging from the water. It was obvious that she would grow up to be a great beauty.
"Watching the selection of new disciples?" Mu Hanyan was a little confused. Why did her mind feel blank at that moment? A strange feeling flashed across her mind.
"Yes, have you forgotten? Today is the day for selecting new disciples. I hope I can have a younger brother or sister today, so that I won't be the youngest one." The little girl said happily, her eyes full of anticipation.
Oh...right. The sect she belongs to is the largest sect in the world, Canglan Sect. There are five peaks under the Canglan Sect, each with its own strengths and each accepting disciples. Each peak has a peak master, and she is the daughter of the peak master of the first peak, Fuhua Peak. The person shaking her arm is her little junior sister, who is also the young disciple of the peak master of Fuhua Peak. She is only thirteen years old this year and is at the age of innocence and liveliness. Some time ago, she begged Mu Hanyan to take her to witness the selection of new disciples. Because Mu Hanyan and senior brother Shangguan Yuhong are responsible for the selection of Fuhua Peak disciples. Speaking of which, their Fuhua Peak is the first peak of Canglan Sect, but whether it is direct disciples, inner disciples or outer disciples, it is the one with the fewest disciples among the five peaks. Direct disciples are the disciples of the peak master, and including Mu Hanyan, there are only four people in total. There are only a few dozen inner disciples, and less than a hundred outer disciples.
Yet, even this Fuhua Peak, with less than 200 people, is the leader of the Five Peaks. Whether in terms of strength or reputation, it is the undisputed leader.
"Okay, I'll take you there, but don't make trouble and don't cause me any trouble." Mu Hanyan looked at the little girl beside her who was looking at her eagerly, her heart softened, and she agreed.
"That's great, that's great! Senior sister is the best!" The little girl jumped up, her eyes narrowed into a line with excitement.
"Only Junior Sister Hanyan would spoil you so much." At this time, a handsome but cold-faced man came in. His light words made the little girl silent in an instant.
"Big Brother." Mu Hanyan saw the newcomer's stern face but showed no fear. She smiled and said, "It's good to let Yanran see what's going on. Otherwise, if you stay confined to the mountain all day practicing, you won't understand the ways of the world, and you'll suffer when you go out." The newcomer was Big Brother Mu Hanfeng. Abandoned as a baby, he was picked up and raised by the head of Fuhua Peak. He was given the name Mu Hanfeng to keep Mu Hanyan company. He treated Mu Hanyan even more affectionately than his own sister, protecting her in every way and doting on her to the heavens. He always acted cold and distant in front of the world, but he was a completely different person in front of Mu Hanyan.
"Since Junior Sister Hanyan said so, Junior Sister Ye, you must remember your senior sister's words and not cause her trouble." Mu Hanfeng nodded and agreed after hearing what Mu Hanyan said.
Ye Yanran was so happy that she almost jumped up again, but when she saw Mu Hanfeng's expressionless face, she immediately became timid. She was not afraid of anyone except Mu Hanfeng. Every time she saw Mu Hanfeng, she was like a mouse seeing a cat, so timid that she couldn't be more timid.
Seeing this, Mu Hanyan smiled helplessly, reached out and touched Ye Yanran's head, and said softly: "Go to my room, I asked someone to buy some snacks, they are in the drawer of the desk, go get them yourself."
"Wow! Wow! Wow! Thank you, senior sister!" Ye Yanran's eyes lit up when she heard this. She ignored Mu Hanyan's terrifying cold face and jumped to Mu Hanyan's room.
"You always spoil her like this. When will she mature?" Mu Hanfeng sighed.
"Senior Brother, Yanran is still young. You are usually busy dealing with the many affairs of Fuhua Peak, and I am busy practicing. Second Senior Brother is obsessed with refining alchemy formations all day long, and no one plays with Yanran. She is at the age when she is free and easy, and it is not good to always restrain her." Mu Hanyan smiled and explained.
"She's very talented, otherwise Master wouldn't have accepted her as a direct disciple. I don't want her to neglect her cultivation and become..." Becoming a burden to you, dragging you down. Mu Hanfeng held back the last part of the sentence and didn't say it out loud. He didn't really care about others, but when it came to Mu Hanyan, he would think a lot and do even more.
Mu Hanyan's face was filled with smiles again, like a flower blooming at dawn. She whispered, "With my brother here, what should I be afraid of?"
Mu Hanfeng was instantly healed by these words, and beyond the healing, he felt like he had been given a shot of chicken blood. Often, in front of outsiders, they would call each other "Big Brother" and "Junior Sister Hanyan," but sometimes in private they would call each other by their childhood names, "brother" and "sister."
"Well, you don't have to worry about anything as long as your brother is here." Mu Hanfeng's originally hard facial lines became softened, and a gentle smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Then let's go early tomorrow. Let's see if there are any good seedlings this year." Mu Hanyan thought that if there were any good seedlings, they should be brought to their Fuhua Peak as soon as possible.
"Okay, then you should have a good rest tonight and we will go early tomorrow." Mu Hanfeng nodded and instructed.
After Mu Hanyan agreed, she separated from Mu Hanfeng and went to her own residence. The master of Fuhua Peak was still in seclusion, or rather, he had rarely come out. Mu Hanfeng basically handled all the affairs of Fuhua Peak, big or small. Several elders of Fuhua Peak also came to discuss matters with Mu Hanfeng. As expected, Mu Hanfeng would be the next master of Fuhua Peak. Someone had suggested that Mu Hanyan succeed him as the master of Fuhua Peak, but Mu Hanyan refused. Everyone praised her for her humility and courtesy, but in reality, only the master understood that his daughter was simply too lazy and didn't want to be the master of Fuhua Peak and worry about so many affairs.
Mu Hanfeng knew this, so he readily agreed. He would do anything his sister didn't want to do. The Peak Master was happy to see this happen. When the Canglan Sect's leader was about to be chosen by their master from among the seven disciples, before he could even think of a way to refuse, his sixth disciple secretly ran away from home. He was determined to avoid becoming the leader. The result was a tragedy for the remaining six, and their master had them all locked up until they agreed on the next leader before releasing them.
There was no other way. None of the six brothers wanted to take the top position, so they finally decided to play finger-guessing. After playing rock-paper-scissors, the unlucky third brother became the head of the sect, and the others became peak masters. He was tired of the elders asking for instructions on trivial matters, and finally found Mu Hanfeng. When Mu Hanfeng demonstrated his extraordinary abilities, he was overjoyed and quickly handed all the affairs to Mu Hanfeng, and went into seclusion. As for whether he was truly in seclusion, and how he did it, only he knew.
