Of course, Mu Hanyan didn't know what happened in the Third Elder's yard. She was practicing well in the house for the entire night.
The next day.
Mu Hanyan concentrated her mind and looked inward. The Tianxin Qi in her heart meridian was obviously much stronger, comparable to the effect of a month of practice in the past.
Mu Hanyan was very excited. The combination of the Star Illusion Thousand Machines Technique and the Tianxin Gongfa had such a miraculous effect. Even if she couldn't find any decent treasures for a while, she didn't have to worry too much.
Today, I should continue to look for the back of Qushan Spiritual School. Mu Hanyan did not delay and left the yard after washing up.
As soon as I got outside the door, I met Mu Ruian.
My father was still as cold and stern as before. When he saw Mu Hanyan, he just nodded slightly. However, there was a warmth in his eyes that only Mu Hanyan could understand.
"Father," Mu Hanyan saluted perfunctorily, just like before. If anyone saw their relationship change so drastically, it would inevitably raise suspicions and potentially lead to trouble. So, in public, Mu Hanyan tried to get along with Mu Ruian as best she could.
"Yeah." Mu Ruian nodded.
"Father, is there something wrong?" Mu Hanyan noticed that there seemed to be worry between her father's brows and asked in a low voice.
"Ziqing went out to buy herbs and hasn't come back today. I'm a little worried." Mu Ruian looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he whispered to Mu Hanyan.
"Seventh Uncle is quite capable and a good person. Nothing should happen. Father doesn't have to worry too much." Mu Hanyan said comfortingly.
"That's true, but according to the time, he should have returned three days ago. I heard that the third elder released a carrier eagle, but there is no news. I'm worried that something happened to him." Mu Ruian said in a deep voice.
"Third Elder..." Thinking of the Third Elder who was full of prejudice against her, Mu Hanyan subconsciously smiled bitterly.
"I know that the Third Elder looks down on you and doesn't have a good face for you, but this result was intentional on our part, so you shouldn't take it too seriously. He is the elder after all. If you really want to blame someone, you should blame me, your father. If I wasn't so weak that I couldn't protect you, why would I resort to such a desperate measure and let you suffer so much grievance?" Mu Ruian sighed and said apologetically.
In fact, the reason why Mu Hanyan's reputation became so bad was because he deliberately condoned and even fanned the flames. It was no wonder that others misunderstood her, especially the elders in the clan who valued the family reputation more than anything else.
"I won't blame him. He is actually doing this for my own good." Mu Hanyan nodded.
"It's right for you to think this way. You must remember that they are always our relatives and family. As long as you don't go too far, you must leave a way out for everything." Mu Ruian reminded.
In the past, he wouldn't have had to say this, but now he already knows that Han Yan is no longer the Han Yan of the past. Her strength has improved so quickly that even he is surprised. He can't even predict what kind of achievements she will make in the future. If she harbors hatred towards the Third Elder and others, it will not be a good thing for the Mu family.
"Hanyan will remember this. Please rest assured, father." Mu Hanyan said solemnly.
Mu Ruian nodded with satisfaction and left.
Watching her father leave, Mu Hanyan felt a sense of emotion. Although several elders viewed her father as a rival, secretly scheming against him, intent on dragging him down from the position of patriarch, her father never considered them enemies, but rather family members.
