After walking among the huge rocks for two hours, the group gradually entered the depths of the valley. The road under their feet, which was not really a road, became more and more rugged and difficult to walk on. At Qu Fengting's command, everyone rested on the spot.
The terrain was steep and there was no flat land that could accommodate hundreds of people, so everyone dispersed.
"Mr. Mu." Mu Hanyan and the others were eating dry food when they saw Yang Boqiao quietly walking towards them, avoiding the eyes and ears of others.
"What are you doing here? Aren't you afraid that your leader Qu will suspect you of being a traitor?" Mu Cheng said sarcastically.
"It is true that I was wrong about what happened to Brother Mu before, but I have my own reasons. In this generation of our Yang family, there are only three of us brothers. My eldest brother has met with a tragic death, and my third brother is still young. Even if I don't consider the family, I can only seek refuge with Qu Fengting and do my best to keep him safe." Yang Boqiao smiled bitterly and said helplessly.
Hearing this, Mu Cheng was at a loss for words. He knew that no matter how strong Mu Hanyan was, it wouldn't be easy for her to protect them all at once. If the Yang Boqiao brothers really caught up, it wouldn't necessarily be a good thing.
"Is there something wrong?" Mu Hanyan didn't take it to heart and asked lightly.
"Qu Fengting just asked about your strength, and I answered truthfully. I hope you can forgive me." Yang Bojiao accidentally revealed Mu Hanyan's true strength just now. After he said it, he remembered Mu Hanyan's instructions. He secretly regretted it in his heart. After thinking about it, he felt that it was inappropriate, so he hurried over to inform Mu Hanyan.
"What?" Mu Hanyan frowned.
Although she knew that her secret might not be hidden for long, and she also expected that Yang Boqiao might not be able to keep his mouth shut in front of Qu Fengting, Mu Hanyan was still a little unhappy that he told it so quickly.
"Didn't Yang Boxing promise that he would never leak it? How could you tell it so easily?" Mu Cheng's anger, which had finally subsided, flared up again and he questioned Yang Boqiao.
In fact, he never understood why Mu Hanyan concealed her strength, nor did he think it was necessary. However, he was already dissatisfied with the Yang Boqiao brothers, so he was naturally angry when he heard about this.
"I was careless for a moment and said it casually, but it has nothing to do with my third brother. He was not there at all. If you want to blame someone, blame me. If you want to blame or punish me, I, Yang Boqiao, will not hesitate. It has nothing to do with my third brother." Yang Boqiao said with a firm face.
Although he had been forced to seek shelter with Qu Fengting, Mu Hanyan was by no means inferior to him in terms of personal strength. If they were to encounter real danger, he couldn't say whether the others could escape, but Mu Hanyan would most likely escape. He didn't want Mu Hanyan to blame Yang Boxing after learning about this.
After all, he still respected Mu Hanyan's strength.
Mu Hanyan was also a little angry at first, but when she saw the determination on Yang Boqiao's face, and the concern and expectation in his eyes when he mentioned his brother, her heart softened inexplicably.
"Forget it, it's not a big deal. I won't take it to heart. I know you are here for your brother. Don't worry, no matter what happens in the future, I will never vent my anger on him." Mu Hanyan said indifferently.
Upon closer inspection, this result wasn't entirely unexpected. For centuries, the Yang family had been reliant on the tyranny of the Qu family. As members of the Yang family, they had little resistance to the Qu family; it had become almost instinctive. It would have been fine if Qu Fengting hadn't asked, but if he had, Yang Boqiao would have likely spilled the beans without a second thought.
