From beginning to end, the two never mentioned the matter of the 200,000 taels of silver. Before the Zhao family's grand plan, the mere 200,000 taels was not even mentioned.
…
At dawn, Mu Hanyan and others packed their luggage and prepared to set off.
Mu Ruian, two elders, and other family members also came to see them off.
"Be careful on your journey." Mu Ruian said lightly to Mu Hanyan, his expression still as indifferent as before. Only Mu Hanyan could hear the deep concern in his words.
"Okay, I got it." Mu Hanyan also pretended to be cold and emotionless, but nodded heavily.
"This time out is different from the one in Black Stone City. You don't have to... don't have to... Oh, forget it. I won't say much. You can take care of yourself." The third elder also came to say goodbye. He originally wanted to give Mu Hanyan some advice, but he didn't want to offend him in front of so many people. After all, he was the leader of the team, and it would not be good to be without some dignity. He hesitated and finally ended with a sentence of "take care of yourself".
"Don't worry, Third Elder. I will restrain myself and will definitely bring Fourth Uncle back safely." Mu Hanyan said confidently.
"How shameless." Mu Feng stood behind the crowd and sneered coldly.
"Second Grandfather is very pleased that Hanyan has this confidence. Then we will wait for your triumphant return." The second elder said with a wry smile.
Everyone could see that the Second Elder had absolutely no confidence in Mu Hanyan and was just waiting for him to come back and punish her according to the family rules. For a moment, everyone looked at the other young Mu family members who had been chosen, the ones who would be blamed for Mu Hanyan's actions, with eyes filled with sympathy.
"Sigh." Someone sighed, and a group of people listlessly got on their horses and followed Mu Hanyan into the distance.
Xiuzhou City is nearly ten thousand miles away from Heishi City. Although the horses selected by the Mu family are all one-in-a-million BMWs, which are much more majestic than ordinary horses and even have a slight protrusion on their foreheads, somewhat like the legendary unicorns, they are not real unicorns after all, so their range is still limited. At most, they can travel six or seven hundred miles a day, and it will take at least twenty days to reach Xiuzhou City.
So shortly after leaving the city, Mu Hanyan and others slowed down.
Mu Hanyan gazed at the scenery along the way, her thoughts lingering. Ever since learning the Star Illusion Thousand Machine Technique from Qu Shanling, her training speed had increased exponentially. As she became more proficient in the technique, its integration with the Tianxin technique became increasingly stronger. Last night, when she was practicing, her speed was over a hundred times faster than before.
If she continued like this, she would have a good chance of reaching the level of a swordsman before her sixteenth birthday. Then, she could return to the capital and ask her grandfather in person about the secret of her life experience.
Mu Hanyan was happy just thinking about it, and the more she thought about it, the more excited she became. Of course, a smile appeared on her face unconsciously.
But to others, this smile was seen as a malicious smile from Mu Dawanku. It was no wonder they assumed this. In their eyes, Mu Dawanku was a troublemaker, arrogant and domineering, lawless in Black Stone City, but at least he had the ties of his family. But now that he had left Black Stone City, the emperor was far away. Was he about to make a big move?
The Mu family disciples were thinking that Mu Hanyan had changed a lot recently. Maybe in the eyes of others he was still the same playboy, but they could see clearly that Mu Hanyan at this moment was completely different from the legendary playboy in the past.
Such a change may be due to Fu Ling's sudden maturity, but it cannot be ruled out that he is pretending to be sensible in order to paralyze his family. Once he leaves Black Stone City and is no longer bound by his family, it is inevitable that he will return to his old ways and become even worse.
So when the Mu family members saw Mu Hanyan's smile, they couldn't help but worry. They pulled the reins to slow down their horses and fell behind, whispering to each other.
