"Ignore them. If he wants to follow, let him follow." Qu Fengting instructed the follower.
"Master Alliance Leader, you don't really believe that that good-for-nothing dude has the strength of a great swordsman, do you?" the follower said with some disapproval.
He had also heard of Mu Hanyan's great name. In addition, Mu Feng had always belittled Mu Hanyan in front of them, so he had long believed in Mu Hanyan's reputation as a playboy and a good-for-nothing, and absolutely did not believe that he had the strength of a great swordsman.
"Humph, do you mean that Yang Boqiao dared to lie to me?" Qu Fengting said unhappily.
The Yang family was just an insignificant small clan. If it weren't for the protection of the Qu family, their survival would be a question. Moreover, Yang Boqiao had to rely on him to save his life. He didn't believe that he had the courage to deceive him. Having held a high position for many years, Qu Fengting was still very confident in his prestige. This guy had such doubts, could it be that he looked down on him?
"No, no, Lord Alliance Leader, you misunderstood me. What I meant was that brother Yang Boqiao has no family background and no strength, so how can he have good judgment? Mu Hanyan is, after all, the eldest son of the Black Stone City Lord's family and the son of the City Lord. He might have some magical weapons or elixirs that can temporarily improve his cultivation, and with a bit of bad luck, he was able to kill the Earth-Splitting Crocodile. Yang Boqiao, that country bumpkin, didn't have the judgment to understand and might have overestimated his strength." The follower hurriedly explained.
"Well, what you said is not impossible." Qu Fengting supported his chin and said thoughtfully.
The status of the Mu family is comparable to that of the Qu family. Mu Hanyan and his son are of great origin. They are direct descendants of the Mu family's main branch in the capital. How could they not have some good things on them? With a little luck, they might indeed be able to kill the Earth-Splitting Crocodile. However, their strength may not be as strong as Yang Boqiao said.
"Do you want me to give it a try?" the follower asked eagerly.
Although he didn't know the details of Qu Fengting's purpose in participating in this trial, he was certain of one thing: if he achieved his goal, his future strength and status would undoubtedly surpass their imaginations, and even becoming the head of the Jing family in the capital would be a piece of cake. That was why he was so eager to show off in front of Qu Fengting. If he could secure this strong leg quickly, he would be filled with endless wealth and glory.
"Forget it, don't act rashly for now. Let's see how things develop. Also, tell everyone to ignore them and stop causing trouble," Qu Fengting said, waving his hand. Regardless of Mu Hanyan's true strength, it wasn't the right time to cause trouble. The people from Zhengying College should be arriving soon, so they had to hurry, or they'd have no chance.
After hearing what he said, the follower had no choice but to give up the idea of looking for trouble with Mu Hanyan and passed on his order.
The others had no grudges against Mu Hanyan, and seeing that Qu Fengting had this attitude, they naturally would not meddle in other people's business. They even praised Qu Fengting highly.
"As expected of the young master of the Qu family, he clearly dislikes Mu Hanyan, yet he still lets them follow him."
"They are quite pitiful, with only a few of them. If Young Master Qu hadn't been so magnanimous and allowed them to follow us, they would have been eaten to the bone by the strange beasts in less than two days."
"Yes, only someone as broad-minded as Young Master Qu is qualified to be our leader. No one else can do it."
Although Mu Hanyan was far away, she could vaguely hear their generous words of praise, and she found it both funny and sad: these poor guys didn't even know that they were going to be sold soon, but they were still full of praise.
