"Mu Hanyan, why don't you come out? Do you have to wait until we old guys come to invite you in person?" The second elder shouted angrily at the carriage.
"Elders, Hanyan apologizes for my impoliteness. I should have personally met with you, but my injuries are too severe to move. I beg for your forgiveness." Mu Hanyan, seeing the First and Second Elders being so arbitrary, became angry and coughed twice. Her voice sounded lazy, yet full of energy, without the slightest sign of injury. It was clear she was refusing to respect the First and Second Elders, and their faces turned pale with anger.
"Master Patriarch, you saw it, you saw it too. Not only did Mu Hanyan fail to complete the task, but he also tried to confuse us and use this ridiculous excuse to fool us. If we don't punish him today, other descendants will follow suit. I'm afraid our Mu family's thousand-year foundation will be destroyed." The Great Elder said angrily.
"Well, let's deal with it however we need to." Mu Ruian said calmly.
He was becoming increasingly confused about his precious daughter. He felt that she was bringing him more and more surprises. He really wanted to see what kind of surprise she would bring him this time.
Logically speaking, Yan Yuchu was already a master at the level of swordsman, and there was no way Mu Hanyan could rescue Mu Ziqing from him. But strangely, when Mu Ruian heard Mu Hanyan's lazy voice, his worried mood suddenly relaxed.
"Mu Hanyan, you deceive your superiors and subordinates, and are disrespectful to your teachers. According to family rules, you should..." Seeing that Mu Ruian did not speak for Mu Hanyan, probably because he felt that he was in the wrong, the elder became more confident and said sternly.
Before he could finish his words, Mu Feng and several guards surrounded him aggressively, waiting for him to finish his words so that they could enforce the family rules.
"Wait, Great Elder, you said that I deceived my superiors and subordinates. Are you saying that I didn't report the news of Fourth Uncle's safe return in time? If that's the case, I will accept any family rules, but if not, I will never accept it." Mu Hanyan interrupted the Great Elder and said firmly.
"What?" Everyone was stunned.
"Hahahaha, Mu Hanyan, do you still want to lie at this time? I have heard clearly that Yan Yuchu is already a master at the level of swordsman, and he is paranoid and cruel by nature. How can you rescue people from him?" The second elder was the first to react and laughed sarcastically.
While the others remained silent, some expressed disapproval. While Mu Hanyan's recent strength had greatly increased thanks to the Meridian Cleansing Pill, and his brain had reportedly become much sharper, even Miss Zhao Si, Zhou Huacheng, Yuan Tianbo, and the others had suffered losses at his hands, it was still down to his status as the City Lord's Mansion's eldest son.
If it weren't for this identity, why would Miss Zhao Si and others bother to play any tricks on him? They could just beat him up.
Unfortunately, his identity was only useful in Black Stone City. It would be strange if anyone would buy into his account in Xiushui City. He was lucky enough to come back with all his limbs intact. He actually claimed to have rescued Mu Ziqing. Wasn't that just wishful thinking?
"Second Elder, this is where you're wrong. Knowing clearly that Yan Yuchu's strength is at the level of a swordsman and that he has a cruel and eccentric temperament, you still sent us to rescue him. Isn't that clearly sending us to our deaths?" Mu Hanyan said.
