"I'm not blind or deaf." Mu Ruian glanced at Mu Hanyan unhappily and said, "Every time a trial ended, there would always be some bizarre rumors. But this time, everyone who came out of the Valley of Exotic Beasts said exactly the same thing. So I guess something must have happened. Zhengying Academy is afraid that it will ruin its reputation if it gets out, so they're using both kindness and force to get all the family members to speak with one voice."
"Father is indeed worthy of being the lord of a city. He has extraordinary knowledge. He even let you guess this." Mu Hanyan said admiringly.
"Stop flattering me and tell me," Mu Ruian urged. Only when he was with his daughter in private did the lord of a city reveal his true feelings. Sometimes he acted like a big kid.
Mu Hanyan didn't hold back, revealing everything that had happened in the Valley of Exotic Beasts. According to the agreement with Pang Dezong, this matter could be disclosed to the clan heads. Pang Dezong knew that it was impossible to keep the clan heads in the dark, no matter how much he offered.
"I didn't expect that it would be the remains of Qiongqi, and Xia Youchen. Qu Fengting is really damnable. He let so many people die for him! If I had known it was so dangerous, I really shouldn't have let you participate in the trial." After listening, Mu Ruian was both moved and scared.
If he had known there would be such danger, he would never have dared to let Mu Hanyan take the risk.
"Fortune and honor are achieved through risk. I think it's worth taking a risk," Mu Hanyan said, a little smug on her face. Even in front of her closest relatives, Mu Hanyan would show her childish side.
"How much benefit did Pang Dezong give you to make you pretend to be deaf and dumb?" Seeing the smug look on Mu Hanyan's face, Mu Ruian could guess with his toes that his precious daughter must have received a lot of benefits from Pang Dezong.
"Others get a Meridian Cleansing and Marrow Strengthening Pill, a Seventh Revolution Qi Refining Pill, and a direct place in Zhengying Academy. I get this extra." Mu Hanyan pointed to the golden embroidery on her lapel, showing off.
"When did you learn how to embroider? You even use gold thread. It's so tacky. I can tell at a glance that you are a nouveau riche from a small place. You blame me. If I had the ability to protect you and you stayed in the capital, your taste might have been much higher." Mu Ruian certainly knew that there must be something special about the gold thread embroidery, but when he saw Mu Hanyan showing off, he couldn't help but joked.
"Daddy, if I tell you that this is called Cang Xuan Yun Sha, will you still think it's tacky?" Mu Hanyan was not angry, but said calmly.
"What, this is Cang Xuan Yunsha, the artifact known as Cang Xuan Yunsha of absolute defense." Although he guessed that the gold embroidery was unusual, he did not expect it to be the legendary Cang Xuan Yunsha. Mu Ruian was so shocked that even the teacup in his hand slipped down. He was so flustered that he grabbed it several times before he finally caught it.
It is not difficult to see how famous Cang Xuan Yunsha is that Mu Ruian, a direct descendant of the Mu family and the lord of a city, was so shocked.
"Yes, this is Cang Xuan Yunsha. I think old man Pang originally wanted to harm me, but it turned out to be a good thing for me." Mu Hanyan repeated the story of how she got Cang Xuan Yunsha.
"Isn't this luck too incredible?" If Mu Ruian didn't know that Mu Hanyan would never lie to him, he would almost think that she was making up a myth.
"It's a bit against the will of heaven, so I was thinking, maybe my real good luck might not be getting the Cang Xuan Yunsha, but getting this exotic beast egg. On the way back, I happened to pass by a small town called Xiaochi City. I don't know if you have received the news, Dad. The Yuan family actually found the meteorite gold mine in Xiaochi City and held a stone tasting conference..." Mu Hanyan was ready to continue speaking, to surprise her father again, and then help her see what the origin of this exotic beast egg was.
But as they were talking, Mu Hanyan found that her father was staring at the strange beast egg, his eyes almost falling out of his head in surprise, but it seemed that it had nothing to do with what he said about Xiaochi City or the meteorite gold mine.
"Dad, what's wrong with you?" Mu Hanyan waved her hand in front of Mu Ruian and asked worriedly.
"Oh my God, it's the bloodline of a lucky beast, the bloodline of a lucky beast, no wonder you have such good luck! My dear daughter, you really picked up a treasure this time." Mu Ruian held Mu Hanyan's arm tightly with both hands, and was so excited that he was almost incoherent.
"What, you said this is a lucky beast!" Mu Hanyan knew why her father was so excited.
Legendary ancient mythical beasts include not only ferocious beasts but also auspicious beasts. Ferocious beasts bring bloodshed and slaughter, while auspicious beasts bring peace and prosperity. Compared to ferocious beasts, auspicious beasts are much rarer, said to appear only when a sage is born or a wise ruler ascends the throne.
Not to mention Mu Ruian, even Mu Hanyan herself was equally excited and could hardly contain herself.
"Otherwise, where do you think you got such good luck? When I was young, I once saw a picture of the auspicious Anping passed down from ancient times. The auspicious clouds in the sky when the auspicious beast was born are exactly the same as the patterns on this picture. Your good luck is all brought by the auspicious beast." Mu Ruian pointed to the wonderful patterns on the alien beast's egg and said to Mu Hanyan with great emotion.
"Then what kind of auspicious beast is this?" Mu Hanyan asked.
In ancient times, countless rare and exotic animals inhabited the Holy Court Continent. There were even four types of ferocious beasts, and of course, more than one type of auspicious beast. In fact, in addition to auspicious beasts that brought a thousand-mile auspiciousness and heralded the birth of a sage, there were also some rare and exotic animals that could bring good luck to ordinary people, also known as auspicious beasts.
"You've really stumped me on this. Based on this beast egg alone, I really can't guess what kind of auspicious beast it is. But since it can make you so lucky, I think this auspicious beast is definitely not ordinary." Mu Ruian finally calmed down and said to Mu Hanyan with a smile.
"Forget it, we'll know once it hatches." Mu Hanyan was not in a hurry.
"What, you actually want to wait for it to hatch?" Mu Ruian looked at Mu Hanyan strangely.
"Isn't it possible?" Mu Hanyan also looked at her father strangely.
She had tried to hatch this strange beast egg and almost lost her life. Of course, she knew that it would be difficult to hatch it. She was originally waiting for it to hatch on its own, but looking at Mu Ruian's expression, it seemed that this strange beast egg was impossible to hatch at all.
"My dear daughter, do you know how many years it has been since auspicious beasts appeared in the Holy Court Continent? Do you know the reason?" Mu Ruian said with a wry smile.
Over the years, he had ignored Mu Hanyan and let her grow up on her own, leaving her to figure out everything on her own. He had forgotten that some things were simply beyond her reach through normal channels.
"It seems that apart from legends, I have never heard of the appearance of auspicious beasts." Mu Hanyan thought for a while and said.
Mu Hanyan felt a little depressed. Could it be that this auspicious beast could not be hatched?
