Mu Hanyan walked slowly towards her residence. Looking at the beautiful scenery on both sides of the corridor, she always felt a sense of disharmony. But she couldn't tell what was wrong. As the palace of the master of Fuhua Peak, it was naturally magnificent. Mu Hanyan stopped and looked at the pool outside the corridor. In the pool, large unknown leaves floated on the surface, and huge white flowers grew between the gaps between the leaves, swaying gently in the wind. On the edge of the pool, a pavilion was surrounded by white mist, and there was a crane in the pavilion combing its feathers, as if in a fairyland. It was very beautiful, as beautiful as a dream.
Dream?
Mu Hanyan frowned slightly, something flashed through her mind, but was interrupted by Ye Yanran's voice the next moment.
"Senior sister, senior sister, don't think about eating Master's cranes. Last time you ate one, Master was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. You can't eat this one." Ye Yanran's voice came from far away, and she said anxiously and worriedly.
Did I eat one of my father's cranes?
Oh… yes, that time, I was craving a crane and wanted to try it, so I roasted it. I ended up telling my eldest brother, with a look of disappointment, that it wasn't very good. My father caught me red-handed. He stamped his feet in anger, wanting to hit me but unable to, and ended up howling in anger. It was only when my eldest brother offered to get him a more docile crane that my father finally calmed down a bit.
"Then, don't eat it." Mu Hanyan nodded woodenly, then shook her head, "No, that's not right. I never thought about eating it."
"Then what are you thinking about, senior sister? Are you thinking about senior brother Chen?" Ye Yanran asked curiously with her eyes wide open.
"Senior Brother Chen?" Mu Hanyan was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly. She rubbed Ye Yanran's head and said, "You, do you also listen to the nonsense those people outside say?"
"But, everyone says that you and Brother Chen are a perfect match, a match made in heaven..." Ye Yanran blinked her big eyes. She was still confused about this kind of thing, but she knew what a match made in heaven meant. Senior sister is beautiful and powerful, and many people admire her. But because Brother Chen is standing in the way, many people dare not express their feelings. Brother Chen is also handsome and very powerful. The two of them, one is the jewel in the crown of Shoufeng, and the other is the beloved son of the headmaster. They have equal status, equal strength, and equal fame. Naturally, everyone thinks that they are a perfect match.
Senior Brother Chen was the son of the headmaster's uncle. He was a very kind man, but... Mu Hanyan shook her head helplessly. She was helpless about the fact that everyone in Canglan Sect was pairing her with Chen Ziyu. But it was just helplessness; she always ignored their comments. Some things become more confusing the more you think about them. Over time, everyone will naturally understand what's going on. That was what she had thought, but now it seemed that things had gone a bit too far. Even Junior Sister thought so, which was not good.
"That's not the case." Mu Hanyan guiltily straightened Ye Yanran's hair, which she had accidentally messed up. "I only treat Senior Brother Chen as a brother. I don't have any other intentions towards him. Got it?"
"Is that so?" Ye Yanran nodded vigorously after hearing this. "Then I'll beat them up if they say anything nonsense again."
Mu Hanyan laughed at this. This really is Dad's teaching style. Actions always speak louder than words. If the other party is dissatisfied with something, a beating will make them submit. If beating him once doesn't solve the problem, then beating him twice will do. After all, everything depends on strength!
"Remember to wake me up tomorrow, senior sister, and remember to take me with you." Ye Yanran grabbed Mu Hanyan's sleeve and refused to let go.
"Okay, got it. I will definitely take you with me." Mu Hanyan promised, and Ye Yanran let go.
…
The next morning, Mu Hanyan brought a hazy-eyed Ye Yanran and met up with Mu Hanfeng at the main hall entrance. Together, they went to the teleportation array at the entrance to Fuhua Peak, teleported to the main peak's square, and then walked back to the entrance. Within Canglan Sect, flying is prohibited unless it's urgent. So, they walked all the way to the last step of the stairs leading to Canglan Sect, then used wind control techniques to fly down. The candidates were all gathered at the foot of Canglan Sect, waiting. A dense crowd, at least a thousand people, was waiting.
When Mu Hanyan and the other two appeared, they caused quite a stir.
"That's Mu Hanyan from the first peak, Fuhua Peak!"
"Is that Mu Hanyan, who single-handedly rescued over a hundred disciples trapped in the secret realm?"
"Wow, it would be great if I could be her junior apprentice."
"Wake up."
"That's right, wake up."
"I'm having a sweet dream, and you want me to wake up! How cruel!" The mocked person didn't get angry, but instead exaggeratedly shook his head in feigned anger and condemned everyone. This behavior actually made others feel a little better about him.
Mu Hanyan and the other two, of course, had exceptional hearing, and they also heard these words. Mu Hanyan looked towards the optimistic figure and was met with a pair of quirky eyes. This was a young man who looked no more than fifteen or sixteen. Seeing Mu Hanyan looking at him, he gave her a broad smile. This man was quite interesting. Mu Hanyan smiled slightly, turned around, and looked at the list in her senior brother's hand.
At this moment, the crowd became agitated again.
Chen Ziyu has arrived.
He was dressed in white, his smile as gentle as jade, and he slowly approached, using the power of wind control. The wind gently lifted his sleeves, and he looked like a banished immortal. Many of the women who had come to participate in the selection blushed at the sight.
He ignored everyone and landed directly beside Mu Hanyan, showing her a gentle smile: "Junior Sister Hanyan, you came really early. When I went to look for you, your maid said you had already left."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's minds were in a state of flux. It seemed the rumors about these two being a couple might be true. The way Chen Ziyu addressed Mu Hanyan suggested a close relationship. And considering both of them had achieved fame at a young age, whether in appearance, ability, or status, they were a perfect match.
Mu Hanyan frowned slightly and said calmly, "For something as important as selecting disciples today, we naturally have to arrive early. Senior Brother Chen should also arrive earlier in the future."
Mu Hanyan's words made everyone's mind wander. Judging from their attitudes, it's probably wrong to say that the two of them are attracted to each other. One calls Hanyan "Junior Sister," while the other calls Chen "Senior Brother." Furthermore, Mu Hanyan's words and actions clearly indicate she doesn't want to be with Chen Ziyu. Is this just one-sided? Or is Mu Hanyan, as a woman, more reserved in public?
