Seeing the high spirits of the people, Mu Hanyan was filled with joy. Although their strength was not that great, the hundreds of people in the tribe, men, women, and children, were all comparable to beginner swordsmen. For a village like this, this was already very formidable.
Even if the Blood Wind Bandits make a comeback, Mujia Village still has the strength to fight. Even if they cannot defeat them in the end, they can evacuate calmly. They can even survive well in the wilderness.
"Master, there is still some spring water left here. Please keep it." Mu Hanyan handed the water bag to Ye Yian.
"How can that be possible? You should keep it for yourself." Ye Yian declined.
"There's no use for me keeping it. There are still some children in the village who will need it sooner or later when they grow up," Mu Hanyan said. It would be a waste for her to keep it anyway, so she might as well give it to the Mu family, making it worth their while to take her in.
"You're thoughtful. But you don't need so much. How about this, I'll take half and you can keep the rest." Ye Yian said with relief.
Soon, Ye Yian took out the water bag and distributed some spring water, leaving the rest to Mu Hanyan.
Seeing Mu Hanyan's actions, the Mu family members were even more grateful. If she hadn't resolutely stopped them, they would probably have knelt down again.
"Let's go back and continue the banquet." Ye Yian said.
"Yes, let's continue eating." Mu Tu quickly rushed back to the table. The others were also in high spirits and returned to their seats.
Even the injured tribesmen were bandaged and returned to their original positions. They were lucky enough to have Mu Tu at their front, so they escaped with no fatalities. With their strong constitutions and tenacious vitality, they believed they would be able to recover as before in no time.
Soon, the village was filled with joy and laughter again.
Mu Hanyan was secretly ashamed. The battlefield hadn't even been properly cleaned up yet, and they were already eating again. However, she also knew that this wasn't because the Mu family was too rough, but because survival on the Divine Continent was too difficult. Those refugees slept in the open air, starving to the point of eating raw meat and drinking blood. Compared to them, the Mu family was considered wealthy, but they probably only had a few good meals throughout the year. How could they bear to waste such a rare table of fine wine and food?
The banquet lasted until midnight, and everyone was well fed. But the one who enjoyed the meal the most was the prayer priest Sikong Qinglan. When Mu Tu half-carried him back to his room, his stomach was so bloated that he could hardly walk.
"Alas, I wonder how difficult life is in the Huayu Temple." Seeing this scene, Miss Mu was worried.
Nothing happened that night. At dawn, all the members of the Mu clan came to the village entrance to see Mu Hanyan off.
"Hanyan, take care on your journey and be careful about everything." Ye Yian said lovingly to Mu Hanyan.
"Master, won't you go with me?" Mu Hanyan said reluctantly.
She was completely alone and helpless when she came to the Continent of Gods, so she subconsciously regarded Ye Yian as an elder. Ye Yian respected her because he misunderstood that she was a saint, but after getting along with her, he unconsciously regarded her as a junior. Not only did he care for her, but he also risked his life to protect her in times of crisis, so she was reluctant to part with her suddenly.
"I'm old, so I won't follow you around anymore. Besides, with Priest Sikong with you, I don't have to worry. Cough cough..." Having said that, Ye Yian coughed heavily a few times, and a few strange blushes appeared on his pale face.
"Master Gongfeng, you should take good care of yourself and recuperate. I will definitely find a way to help you prolong your life." Mu Hanyan hurriedly patted his back and said softly.
Looking at the sickly blush on Ye Yian's face, Mu Hanyan felt inexplicably sad. With his cultivation level, it was a miracle that he could survive until now. He was seriously injured in the previous fight with Kang Qingyuan and Chen Xuefeng. His life span, which was already nearing the end, was affected again. He probably didn't have much time to live. What's more, the Seven Treasures Life-Extending Pill that he used to save his life was wasted on Liuguang, which made Mu Hanyan feel deeply guilty.
"It's good that you have this heart. Fate is determined by God. You can't force me to defy God and prolong my life. I'm already satisfied to live to such an old age and to see you. You don't have to worry about me. Taking care of yourself is the most important thing. If one day I'm gone, remember to help me take care of these Mu family members." Ye Yian said to Mu Hanyan with relief.
Although he missed the Holy Court every day, he had lived in Mujia Village for a thousand years and had some feelings for it, so he was still worried about the Mu family.
"Yeah." Mu Hanyan nodded. Her eyes were a little moist, and she had made up her mind to improve her strength as quickly as possible and find a way to extend Ye Yian's lifespan.
The carriage slowly drove out of the village. Mu Hanyan waved goodbye to everyone. She didn't pull the curtain until the dark crowd of heads disappeared from her sight. However, she still felt a little lost in her heart.
"Miss Mu, don't be too sad. When you officially become a priest, you can come back to visit when you have time," Sikong Qinglan said soothingly. Because the old ox pulling the cart was too old and walked too slowly, Mu Hanyan simply invited him to the carriage. The carriage was already large enough, and with Ye Yian not going, it would be just her and Ling Baobao, so there was naturally more space.
"Thank you, Lord Sikong." Mu Hanyan said politely.
"Miss Mu, please don't be so polite." Seeing Mu Hanyan being so polite, Sikong Qinglan felt a little flattered and said shyly.
"By the way, Lord Sikong, I, Mu Hanyan, am deeply grateful to you for reminding me a few days ago in Fengcheng Temple, and for helping me when I met Kang Qingyuan and the Blood Wind Bandits. But there is one thing I can't understand. We have never met before, so why is Lord Sikong so protective of me?" Mu Hanyan asked.
