"Someone more is coming, someone more is coming." Just after turning a corner, there were cheers of surprise coming from the front.
"There's someone in front." Mu Cheng cheered and ran forward.
Apart from the two Yang brothers, no other trial participants were seen along the way. Mu Cheng was worried that they were all dead, and he couldn't help feeling a little sad. But when he saw other people, and they were still alive, how could he not be overjoyed?
Mu Hanyan and the other person followed.
Ahead, the valley widened from narrow to reveal a vast basin. Near the mountainside, hundreds of young swordsmen gathered. They had built a camp, taking advantage of the terrain, and then worked together to build a wall of massive rocks, resembling a small fortress. The young swordsman who had just seen Mu Cheng was standing guard on the wall.
Hearing his cheers, the other swordsmen also rushed over. Seeing Mu Hanyan and the others from afar, they all looked friendly.
But when they got closer, the smiles on their faces faded.
"Brother, open the door and let us in." Mu Cheng shouted excitedly without noticing the coldness on the other party's face.
He had been worried and scared these days and hadn't had a good sleep. Now he just wanted to enter the fortress and have a good sleep.
"Wait, are you from the Mu family of Black Stone City?" A young swordsman on the top of the city asked coldly.
"Yes, I am Mu Cheng from the Mu family in Black Stone City. What's wrong?" Mu Cheng then realized that something was wrong. The smile on his face gradually disappeared, and he asked in confusion.
"Brother Qu has given instructions that everyone else can be allowed in, except people from the Mu family." The man said expressionlessly.
"Why?" Mu Cheng asked in confusion.
"Because Mu Hanyan of the Mu family is a despicable and shameless person who bullies men and women in Black Stone City and does all kinds of evil things, he has insulted the dignity of us swordsmen. We disdain to associate with such a person." Qu Fengting's contemptuous voice came, answering for him.
"You...you are talking nonsense. Those are just rumors spread by others. You can't take them seriously." Mu Cheng's face flushed red as he defended Mu Hanyan.
After spending so many days with Mu Hanyan, my prejudice against her has become less and less.
Sometimes, he'd be too worried to sleep at night. Thinking back, Mu Hanyan hadn't done anything truly rebellious over the years. When it came to eating, drinking, and having fun, how many of his family's sons weren't? And when it came to squandering money, how many of them weren't? Even when he'd dealt with Yuan Tianbo and Miss Zhao Si, it was their own fault. If Mu Hanyan hadn't woken up from a coma and shown a completely different disposition, much more astute than before, he'd have been the one to suffer. He didn't even know how Mu Hanyan's reputation as a playboy had spread.
The more Mu Cheng thought about it, the more he felt that his previous rejection of Mu Hanyan was unreasonable, and he felt ashamed of his past actions. When he heard Qu Fengting slandering Mu Hanyan in this way, he felt indignant.
"Hmph! Whether I am talking nonsense or not will be determined by others. I believe many people here have heard of the good name of Young Master Mu. Why don't you let them judge for themselves?" Qu Fengting said sarcastically.
"Do we need to judge what kind of person Mu Hanyan is? Everyone in Black Stone City knows him. Brother Qu, why bother talking to him? Just kick him away." Qu Fengting had just finished speaking when a follower behind him said contemptuously.
"Yeah, I heard he used to be called Mu Baijia, then Mu Danku, and recently he's been called Mu Shiyi. It's said he enjoys tearing off other girls' clothes. Tsk tsk, people like him are simply the scum among us swordsmen," another person chided. The words were spoken righteously, but his eyes were full of envy. Mu Cheng felt sick at the sight. These hypocritical ****! What's the matter? Even though he knew the other party was a man, Mu Cheng secretly cursed these people as ****!
