"Then why didn't you tell me earlier?" Guan Qingyun thought for a moment. Mu Hanyan hadn't really asked him for help, and she didn't even know he existed. The so-called favor was just wishful thinking on his part.
But the more this happened, the angrier he became. He clearly had the ability to deal with Shi Renjie, but he didn't take action or say it clearly. He insisted on watching him show off. Wasn't he just being made a fool of himself?
"Isn't that just to save you some face?" Mu Hanyan said helplessly. She hadn't wanted to hurt his pride by not saying anything when she saw him flirting with her. But how could she have ended up being the one in the wrong?
"Save face? I think you are just making fun of me and making a fool of me. Mu Hanyan, you are going too far!" Guan Qingyun was stuck in a dead end and would not listen to any explanation. He roared and rushed towards Mu Hanyan again.
Before Mu Hanyan could make a move, a burly figure stood in front of her, stretched out a large hand like a palm-leaf fan, and slapped her.
Guan Qingyun was in mid-air, as if being hit by an invisible mountain, and fell to the ground with a "bang".
"You have such little strength and yet you have the nerve to come out and show off. I've disliked you for a long time. Get out of here now. If you keep complaining, I'll slap you to death." Taotie held the whole leg of lamb in one hand and chewed it, while pointing at Guan Qingyun and cursing.
Seeing Taotie's body, which was even fatter than Gao Weihu's, Chu Yanghe and the others were once again shocked. Previously, they had seen this guy eating and drinking like crazy, and they were wondering where this foodie came from. Now they knew that he was actually a hidden master.
The slap seemed ordinary, but it contained endless mysteries and also had the meaning of returning to nature, so much so that Guan Qingyun had no reaction at all and was knocked to the ground by him.
It turns out that there are many hidden talents in the Huayu Temple, and there is more than just Mu Hanyan.
"You dare to hit me, you dare to hit me..." Guan Qingyun touched his swollen face and screamed.
Being defeated by Mu Hanyan's sword could be considered a lack of skill, but this slap was a naked humiliation. Otherwise, why do they say that when you scold someone, don't expose their weaknesses, and when you hit someone, don't hurt their face?
"Fatty, you are dead. How dare you attack my young master? You are dead." The servant pointed at Taotie and cursed.
"Bang!" With a crisp sound, the servant flew straight out of the hall, leaving two trails of blood along the way.
This servant was used to following Guan Qingyun and was self-righteous. He never thought that Taotie even dared to hit Guan Qingyun in the face, so how could he take a small follower seriously.
"Get out of here!" Taotie looked down at Guan Qingyun and suddenly roared.
Looking at the ferocious look on Taotie's face, Guan Qingyun was so frightened that his heart was trembling. He got up and stumbled out of the temple. He no longer had any trace of elegance and grace, like a stray dog.
"Mu Hanyan, you will regret this." Perhaps because he felt it was too shameful to run away like this, Guan Qingyun turned around and uttered a harsh remark when he ran to the door.
Taotie took a step forward, looking like he was about to slap again.
Guan Qingyun was so frightened that his legs went weak and he fell flat on his face with a thud.
Chu Yang and the others were a little worried when they heard his harsh words, but they couldn't help laughing when they saw his expression. What a proud son of heaven, but it turned out to be just this kind of rubbish.
In the past, Guan Qingyun's talent, combined with his background, would have been enough to amaze and even awed them. However, after witnessing Mu Hanyan's elegance, their standards had risen significantly, and they were no longer willing to take Guan Qingyun seriously. To put it bluntly, he had only benefited from his upbringing; if it weren't for his good father, he would be nothing compared to Mu Hanyan.
Not daring to say another harsh word, Guan Qingyun took the servant and left Huayu City like a stray dog.
"Chief Priest Mu, you have offended Chief Priest Guan badly this time." Looking at Guan Qingyun's leaving back, Chu Yanghe and others shook their heads and smiled bitterly.
First it was Zhao Xinghong, then Liu Qianyuan, then Shi Renjie. Rumor has it there's also Zuo Qiuhan, and now Guan Qingyun has been added to the mix. Besides the Temple of Life, Mu Hanyan is on the verge of offending all of the most powerful families in the five higher temples. No wonder some call her the "dandy high priestess." Her arrogance is countless times stronger than that of those useless, dandy second-generation heirs.
"It doesn't matter. I haven't violated the laws of the temple. What can they do to me?" Mu Hanyan said indifferently.
She didn't intend to make enemies with these priest families, and she also wanted to keep a low profile, but there was nothing she could do. These guys had to mess with her, and she couldn't just wait for someone to slap her in the face and then put her face in front of them.
Didn't violate the temple's laws? Chu Yanghe and the others all looked strange. If they guessed correctly, Zhao Xinghong and those disobedient priests under their command were probably killed by her. Those five-colored soul beads probably fell into her hands. And she actually said righteously that she had not violated the temple's laws.
But speculation is speculation. They would keep this kind of thing to themselves and would never make it public. Anyway, Zhao Xinghong had brought this upon himself. What did it have to do with them?
"In short, it's better to be careful. Although our strength is weak, if there is anything we can help with, please feel free to ask, Master Priest." Chu Yanghe and others said.
They and the Flower Rain Temple were inextricably linked. Whether it was repairing and maintaining the temple's formations or tackling the current challenges, they needed its assistance. They certainly didn't want anything to happen to Mu Hanyan. More importantly, in the vast history of the Divine Continent spanning millions of years, such a gifted individual had never appeared before. It was a great honor for them to witness her rise to the pinnacle of glory. They didn't want Mu Hanyan to be snuffed out, a fleeting flash in the pan like a meteor.
"Well, I'll be careful." Mu Hanyan nodded and raised her glass again.
She could also see that Chu Yanghe and the others' concern for her was not entirely out of self-interest, but also the care of elders for their juniors, and she felt a little touched.
The dinner continued, everyone clinked glasses, and was still as happy as before, as if nothing had happened.
At the same time, in the darkness of the night, two lonely, desolate and sad figures were rushing towards the Temple of Life.
"Young Master, is your injury serious?" the young servant in green asked worriedly.
"They can't hurt me." Guan Qingyun tried hard to pretend to be indifferent, but the corners of his mouth twitched slightly because of the pain.
The sacrificial robe on his body had good defensive power, so Mu Hanyan's sword didn't hurt him much, but Taotie's slap was really hard, and his face was still burning with pain.
