He only knew that if Mu Hanyan had not been willing to sacrifice her own strength to help him, he would not have been able to condense the mixed and impure power of the stars. He would probably never have made any major progress in his life, and it would be even more impossible for him to reach the second level of swordsman so quickly.
"There's no need to be so polite between us." Seeing the gratitude on Yan Yuchu's face, Mu Hanyan felt a little embarrassed.
It is true that Yan Yuchu had such a huge improvement thanks to her help, but to be honest, she gained more benefits from Yan Yuchu. Unfortunately, this matter involved too many secrets, so she couldn't say it directly.
"Yes, in short, I will remember this favor." Yan Yuchu nodded and smiled brightly.
The two of them didn't say much, but the onlookers were all stunned and speechless, their hearts agitated. A dignified third-level swordsman actually thanked Mu Hanyan. From the sound of it, it seemed like he only had Mu Hanyan's help to achieve such strength. How could that be possible?
They didn't hear what Yan Yuchu said in a low voice, and didn't know that he was actually a second-level swordsman. But even if they heard it, the result would be the same. For them, the second-level and third-level swordsmen were both unattainable and powerful existences, and there was not much difference.
"Could it be because of the artifact?" They quickly came up with the answer. Mu Hanyan had just defeated Dai Songling thanks to a protective artifact, and the fact that she was able to help Yan Yuchu must also be due to the artifact. This was the only explanation they could come up with.
Of course, they didn't know that even within the Mu family, a so-called divine artifact like the Cang Xuan Yun Sha was something you could only find by chance, so there wouldn't be many of them left for Mu Hanyan. However, since they thought they had found the answer, they didn't dwell too much on Mu Hanyan's strength.
"Hey, what is this?" Mu Cheng picked up a pendant from the ground and asked curiously.
"It fell from Mo Yanhong, the Lock of Immortality." Wu Qiyun glanced at it and said. He saw the pendant fall from Mo Yanhong with his own eyes, so of course he would not remind him.
"He's still wearing the immortality lock at such a big age. The Mo family really dotes on him." Mu Cheng said with a pout.
Usually only newborn babies wear the longevity lock for safety, and they will no longer wear it when they grow up. I didn’t expect that Mo Yanhong was still wearing the longevity lock even though he was already an adult. It is not difficult to see how much the head of the Mo family doted on him, and no wonder he was so useless.
"It's not an ordinary immortality lock, it's an alchemical artifact." Mu Hanyan is no stranger to alchemical artifacts now, and can see the traces of alchemy at a glance.
"Lin, is that Mo Yanhong's nickname?" Mu Cheng turned over the Changsheng Lock and saw the small words engraved on the back, and asked curiously.
"Maybe. My nickname is also Qilin'er," Wu Qiyun said. Many wealthy families would give their children such nicknames for good luck, so it wasn't surprising.
"The name is nice, but the person is a fool." Mu Cheng was not interested in looking at it any further and handed the Longevity Lock to Mu Hanyan.
He had no interest in alchemy, but Mu Hanyan seemed to be somewhat interested in it.
Mu Hanyan did not refuse. After seeing the magic of alchemy again and again, she was really interested in it. It was a good opportunity for her to try to figure it out. It is always good to have many skills.
…
In the distance, Ye Lanxuan watched this scene, a smile on his handsome face. This was her, step by step forging her own path, slowly blooming with her own brilliance.
"Sir, now that it's over, shall we go?" Jin Yuguang was delighted to see this. Not only was the matter resolved satisfactorily, but Mu Hanyan also received a promotion. His Excellency was indeed foresighted, so he wasn't worried at all. Seeing Mo Yanhong being beaten like a dog, he felt incredibly relieved.
"No." Ye Lanxuan shook his head gently, a hint of sadness flashing in his eyes. He really wanted to be by her side, but...
Ye Lanxuan said nothing more, only looking up at the sky. Ever since he first saw Mu Hanyan, he hadn't been able to take his eyes off her. It was then that he knew she was a woman. He could guess why she was disguised as a man. It must be because her family wanted to protect her, so they let her disguise herself as a man.
At first, he didn't understand what he was, but he couldn't help but want to look at her, to be close to her. The closer he got, the more he understood her, the harder it was to let go. Her every smile, every frown, every word, every action, always brought him more joy. And deep down, a feeling became increasingly clear. He always felt that he had been waiting for someone, waiting for a long, long time... Now, he had finally waited, and that person was Mu Hanyan. Why did he feel this way? He didn't know.
Mu Hanyan, Mu Hanyan...
Such a woman should not be a little white flower protected by him. She should have her own peerless elegance and her own dazzling edge.
"Let's go." Ye Lanxuan said softly, and then he tiptoed away.
Jin Yuguang hurriedly chased after him.
Ye Lanxuan turned his head slightly and looked at the inn that was getting farther and farther away, and the face that was getting farther and farther away, but a faint smile appeared on his face. Hanyan, I look forward to our next meeting.
