"Why are you hiding it?" Yan Yuchu asked, puzzled. Back then, when his strength had just grown by leaps and bounds, and he hadn't even reached the Sword Master level yet, he'd already made a big fuss about his newfound prowess, wanting to show off his prowess. But Mu Hanyan was the exact opposite. She was a ninth-rank Sword Master, a significant step above him at the time, yet she refused to publicize it and instead tried desperately to conceal it. What was the reason?
"Okay, I understand. I will never tell anyone a word about what happened tonight." Mu Ziqing promised.
Mu Hanyan didn't expect that he would agree so readily, without even a doubt, which was a bit strange.
"You were right to hide your strength. I once heard something, and maybe I should let you know a little bit." Mu Ziqing said slowly, recalling something.
"Please speak, Fourth Uncle." Mu Hanyan said.
Yan Yuchu also looked curious.
"That was when I was very young, and my great-great-grandfather was still alive. I once heard him talk about an incident. It was said that thousands of years ago, our Mu family's main family in the capital was at odds with another aristocratic family. We were once suppressed by the other party and could not raise our heads. We were almost driven out of the capital. But at that time, a member of the Mu family who was originally regarded as a natural loser suddenly appeared. It was as if he turned from a waste into a peerless genius overnight. With his powerful strength, he injured several top masters of the other side, saved the family from danger, and finally drove the other family out of the capital, and the other family fell apart." Mu Ziqing said with longing.
"Is this true? Why haven't I heard of it?" Mu Hanyan asked in confusion.
Since they were a noble family that could force the Mu family into a desperate situation, their strength was self-evident. The strength of those top masters could also be imagined. Even if they had not reached the level of Sword Saint, they should not be much different. However, they were all defeated by one person from the Mu family, and that person was once regarded as a natural waste. Such a legendary figure should have been famous all over the world and praised by literati and poets, but why had she never heard of him?
"Because not long after this incident, the ancestor of our Mu family died unexpectedly. It was announced to the outside world that he died of serious injuries, but in fact he was assassinated." Mu Ziqing said seriously.
"What!" Mu Hanyan and Yan Yuchu exclaimed at the same time. Judging from what Mu Ziqing had said earlier, this ancestor of the Mu family must be a Sword Saint-level expert. Looking at the entire Anyun Kingdom, this is a top expert. How could he be ambushed?
"This matter is a secret of the Mu family. Even many direct descendants of the Mu family do not know about it. The ancestors of our Black Stone City Mu family followed that ancestor in the past, so they know the inside story." Mu Ziqing continued.
"What happened next? Who was the other party? Did the Mu family help him get revenge?" Yan Yuchu asked.
"No, our ancestors at that time neither investigated nor publicized the matter. They just kept the matter secret." Mu Ziqing shook his head and said.
"Why don't you check? You have to know that he is a member of your Mu family, and he also saved the entire..." Having said this, Yan Yuchu suddenly stopped, because he found that Mu Ziqing and Mu Hanyan were looking at him as if he were an idiot.
"I understand now. The opponent is too strong, so strong that the Mu family doesn't even have the capital to compete. If the results are found out, it will only bring disaster to the Mu family. So the Mu family has to swallow their anger and wait for the opportunity to find a way to take revenge." Yan Yuchu reacted after a little thought and said with sudden enlightenment.
