It wasn't until Mu Hanyan settled in Mu Village that she gradually realized that even without Ye Yian's involvement, as long as she was willing to represent the Mu clan in the priesthood assessment, they wouldn't comment on her background and would simply treat her as one of their own. Life on the Divine Continent was incredibly difficult for the landless refugees, and after thousands of years of peaceful living, they absolutely didn't want to go back to the way things were. Of course, that was all a story for later.
Seeing that Mu Hanyan no longer had any doubts, Ye Yian made a hand gesture and removed the soundproof barrier.
Immediately, Mu Hanyan heard the whispered discussions outside. After such a long time, everyone was still envious of her for being able to meet Ye Yian.
This was a surprising discovery for Mu Hanyan. Although her strength was greatly suppressed, her spiritual consciousness remained unaffected. If she closed her eyes and concentrated, she could even pass through the thick wooden door and see the envious looks on everyone's faces. She didn't know how long it would take for her to regain her previous level of cultivation. Being able to retain such a powerful spiritual consciousness naturally provided her with a supreme guarantee of survival in the Continent of Gods.
"My Lord Saint, I may have to inconvenience you a little. In front of outsiders, you can only regard yourself as a junior." Ye Yian said to Mu Hanyan with an apologetic look.
"That's all right." Mu Hanyan waved her hand. She then remembered that she hadn't explained her identity to Ye Yian yet, but how should she explain it? Should she tell him openly about what the Holy Lord had done?
After much thought, Mu Hanyan finally gave up the idea. Ye Yian's loyalty to the Holy Court was evident from the fact that he had remained true to his original aspirations even after a thousand years of wandering on the Divine Continent. If he knew what the Holy Lord had done, who knows what he would think. It might be a fatal blow, just like what happened to Ye Lanxuan, Tantai Changqing, and Shao Chengxiong not long ago.
As for whether she felt wronged or not, Mu Hanyan didn't care at all. She originally regarded Ye Yian as an elder, so how could she feel wronged?
"Then I'll have to trouble Saint to help me up." Ye Yian said.
After all, he has lived for thousands of years, so Ye Yian has an open mind. He did not worry about the difference in status and spoke generously to Mu Hanyan.
With Mu Hanyan's support, Ye Yian stood up and walked towards the door tremblingly. After taking a few steps, he suddenly said to Mu Hanyan: "The sword robe you are wearing is a bit inappropriate. You should still wear casual clothes."
Mu Hanyan patted her forehead. Indeed, she was still wearing a sword robe from the Holy Court Continent. The villagers of Mujia Village had little knowledge and mistakenly thought she was a temple priest. Out of awe, they didn't dare to look at her too much or think too much, so they didn't notice anything unusual. Now it would be inappropriate for her to wear this sword robe again.
Fortunately, she had a star disk space, which contained plenty of spare clothes. Arriving at Ye Yian's quarters behind the ancestral hall, Mu Hanyan changed into a simple long dress. She was the eldest daughter of the Mu family, but she had been raised as a boy, so she didn't have any arrogance, and her clothes were mostly simple and plain. She had also observed that the clothing of the people of the Divine Continent and the people of the Holy Court Continent was not much different. Even if there were slight differences, it wouldn't arouse suspicion.
Seeing Mu Hanyan's attire, Ye Yian nodded in satisfaction. The Mu family lived a wealthy life, and Mu Hanyan's long dress was extremely simple, so it wouldn't look too out of place next to them.
Mu Hanyan supported Ye Yian to the door, pushed it open, and a dazzling light came towards them. Amidst bursts of exclamations, a group of people knelt down in front of them again.
"Master Worshiper! Master Worshiper..." Seeing Ye Yian appear, all the villagers bowed to the ground, their eyes filled with tears of excitement.
It was thanks to this old worshipper that they ended their wandering lives, found a place to live, and lived and worked in peace and contentment for thousands of years. In their minds, the old worshipper was like a guardian deity.
"Everyone get up." Ye Yian waved his hand and said.
Everyone stood up at once. No one dared to speak, and they didn't even dare to breathe. They were all as obedient as children in a private school.
"Mu Hanyan is the descendant of an old friend of mine. She came here specially to visit me. In fact, she is not a temple priest, but a natural-born priest of the gods." Ye Yian said in a hoarse and low voice.
"What, a natural born priest of the gods!" Out of awe for Ye Yian, everyone didn't even dare to breathe, but when they heard this, they all exclaimed in surprise, and their eyes looking at Mu Hanyan were full of respect.
When Mu Hanyan heard that Ye Yian had inexplicably given herself the title of a natural-born priestess, she was a little confused at first, but she quickly came to her senses. If she had become a priest of the temple, she naturally could no longer represent the Mu family in the priest assessment, so Ye Yian gave herself the title of a natural-born priestess.
As expected of an old monster who has lived for thousands of years, his mind is indeed meticulous.
However, what does it mean to be a natural-born priest of a god? It seems to be very remarkable.
"The so-called natural born priests of gods are born with the spiritual will left by the gods in the world. They do not need to practice the secret techniques of the temple to condense the power of heaven and earth, and can barely perform magical arts similar to those of the priests." Seeing Mu Hanyan's confusion, Ye Yian explained.
Mu Hanyan then realized that if she was not a temple priest, but could use the priest's magic, it still could not be explained. Ye Yian's statement was a perfect explanation.
"I have persuaded her to represent our Mujia Village in the priest assessment of Fengcheng Temple and become the new guardian priest of Mujia Village!" Ye Yian raised his voice and continued.
"Ah!" If everyone was just surprised when they heard that Mu Hanyan was a natural priest of the gods, then at this moment, surprise was written on everyone's face.
When Mu Hanyan first arrived at the Divine Continent, she had no idea what it meant to be a natural-born Divine Priest. While Divine Priests were the lowest rank among the Temple's priests, comparable to the swordsmen of the Holy Court Continent, a natural-born Divine Priest was like a swordsman born with their hidden meridians opened. Regardless of their current strength, their future achievements were limitless.
Natural-born divine priests are rare, sometimes appearing only once every thousand years. Once they emerge, they are eagerly sought after by every major temple and clan. To say they ascend to heaven overnight is no exaggeration. Mu Hanyan, a natural-born divine priest, was actually willing to become the Mu clan's guardian priest. They couldn't even believe their ears.
"Master, is what you said true?" After a while, Mu Chenglin said in a trembling voice.
"How could I joke with you about such a big thing?" Ye Yian said with a smile.
"Our Mu family is saved, we are saved!" After receiving the affirmative answer, Mu Chenglin laughed loudly towards the sky, but tears could not stop falling.
