Mu Cheng saw Mu Hanyan leaving and returning to the city with his own eyes. Thinking about his appearance at that time, he didn't look frightened at all. He was clearly full of confidence.
He didn't know what had happened to Mu Hanyan, but when he miraculously escaped the meteor shower and appeared in front of him again, the majesty and pride that seemed to be released from his bones made him instinctively feel awe. He had never felt that kind of feeling even from several elders.
In this competition, would Mu Hanyan really be as vulnerable as everyone thought? Mu Cheng shook his head. Although his reason told him how big the gap was between a first-level swordsman and a fifth-level swordsman, he still felt that things would not be that simple.
So, Mu Cheng just joined in the others' forced laughter, but didn't even dare to laugh out loud.
"Speaking of escaping, I remember that someone was chased for several blocks. He was so scared that he didn't dare to go home the whole night. He hid under the bridge like a stray dog. He was not found and brought home until dawn by servants. How come you forgot so quickly after just a few years?" Mu Hanyan said jokingly.
She was talking about something that happened seven or eight years ago, when she and Mu Feng were about seven or eight years old. They hadn't been practicing for long, and they didn't have much strength. Children inevitably fight, and Mu Feng, relying on his age, bullied the then-younger Mu Hanfeng. The two argued for a few words and then came to blows. This infuriated Mu Hanyan. How dare he bully her brother? He deserved a beating!
Mu Hanyan was raised as a son by her parents since she was a child, and they didn't pay much attention to her. Minor quarrels were common. Mu Feng was the eldest grandson of the great elder, and his family education was relatively much stricter. His practical experience was far less than hers. After a few rounds, he was beaten black and blue and had no strength to fight back, so he turned around and ran away, and was chased by Mu Hanyan for several blocks.
It was not a big deal for children to fight each other, and the matter should have ended there. However, Mu Feng was timid at that time and was so scared that he hid under the bridge and did not dare to go home all night. The whole family searched for Mu Feng all night before they found him who was half frozen to death.
Mu Hanyan was even severely scolded by Mu Ruian for this matter. Her reputation as a playboy actually began to spread around at that time. A seven-year-old child could beat up her brothers so badly that they dared not go home all night. If she wasn't a playboy, who would be?
As for Mu Feng, Mu Hanyan didn't see him very often after that, and of course, he wasn't in a good mood every time they did. She only knew that he practiced diligently, reaching the fifth rank of swordsman in just a few years, and was hailed as another talented young man in the Mu family of Black Stone City, besides Mu Hanfeng.
After hearing Mu Hanyan's words, Mu Feng's face changed immediately. What happened back then might be just a play between children in the eyes of others, but for him, it was the greatest shame in his life and a stain that would never be erased.
His achievements today are directly related to this shame.
Even in his dreams, he wanted to knock Mu Hanyan to the ground countless times, making him lose face in front of everyone, so as to regain the dignity he had lost.
It's a pity that although Mu Hanyan is a fool and has only reached the first level of swordsman after so many years of training, he is still the son of the head of the Mu family branch in Black Stone City and the son of the city lord. Even if he has the strength of a fifth-level swordsman, it is difficult for him to have the opportunity to take revenge. At most, he can only make a few sarcastic remarks.
And today is his best chance to avenge his previous shame.
