Zirong hummed a little tune and went to Mu Hanyan's yard with Huayue. Zirong was obviously in a good mood. She had just slapped the head guard in the face and felt really good.
As soon as Zirong entered the courtyard, she saw Mu Hanyan leisurely drinking tea. Seeing them coming back, Mu Hanyan waved, "Hurry up and bring it here. Why are you taking so long to buy something? Did you get robbed on the road?"
Mu Hanyan was joking, of course, but Hua Yue remained expressionless and replied seriously, "No."
It wasn't rape, but it was kidnapping, right? Zirong thought to himself. However, he didn't intend to tell the guard leader about his attempt to steal their girlfriends, because he felt it was completely unnecessary. Looking at Mu Hanyan's leisurely look, Zirong felt a little bit of anticipation in his heart.
What will be the result of the competition between the eldest son and Mu Feng tomorrow?
On the morning of the second day, just after daybreak, the Mu family's martial arts training ground was already filled with people, from the three elders of the Mu family branch in Black Stone City to children who were only seven or eight years old and had just begun to understand things, and even the servants who happened to have some free time, all came to the martial arts training ground.
Today is the day for the competition between Mu Hanyan and Mu Feng. Logically speaking, this competition should not have attracted so much attention. A mere second-level swordsman - strictly speaking, an entry-level swordsman with only first-level strength, actually had the audacity to challenge a fifth-level swordsman. What suspense can there be in the outcome?
However, the situation is different when the first-rank swordsman who is ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth and does not know how to write the word death is the beloved eldest son of the city lord.
Mu Ruian was originally from the main branch of the Mu family in the capital, but he came to Black Stone City to become the head of a branch of the Mu family. Although it was an exile for him, it was not a good thing for other people in the Black Stone City branch of the Mu family. His arrival affected the interests of many people.
Before this, any one of the three elders had a chance to become the head of the family. Even if they didn't, by compromising with each other, they could still secure sufficient benefits for their respective families. The elders had been fighting openly and secretly for years, but who would have thought that in the end, a young man from the main family in the capital would take advantage of them? How could they accept this? And how could the children of their respective families accept this?
So they gathered in the martial arts arena today just to watch Mu Hanyan make a fool of herself. Since they couldn't deal with Mu Ruian, bullying his prodigal son would give them a chance to vent their anger, right?
When Mu Hanyan arrived at the martial arts arena, she saw playful smiles on the faces of several elders. The others had similar expressions. Their gazes were like watching fish on a chopping block, about to be slaughtered into horrific pieces. Seeing this made Mu Hanyan's teeth ache. They wanted to slaughter her, not even afraid of the nicks on their knives!
"Mu Hanyan, I didn't expect you to dare to come. Didn't you say you were afraid of death and ran away from the city? Why did you get scared back by the meteor shower?" Mu Feng smiled easily, slightly tilted his neck, and spoke to Mu Hanyan with contempt in a condescending manner.
A burst of laughter erupted from the crowd. Word had finally spread of Mu Hanyan's trip out of the city at night a few days ago, encountering a meteor shower before returning to Blackrock City.
Almost everyone thought that Mu Hanyan was too guilty to fight and wanted to slip away to avoid the limelight. However, she encountered a meteor shower and luckily survived, but was frightened and came back in disgrace. Naturally, she was regarded as a laughing stock again.
Mu Cheng stood in the middle of the crowd and laughed along with others, but his laughter was extremely forced. There was even an inexplicable fear hidden in his eyes as he looked at Mu Hanyan.
