Mu Hanyan spread out the letter paper, and everyone took a glance at it and was shocked.
"It seems that I have to wait a few days before going to the capital." Mu Hanyan put the letter away and said lightly.
"Young Master, aren't you worried at all?" Jiang Yuzhe asked in confusion, not seeing any worry on Mu Hanyan's face.
"Why should you worry?" Mu Hanyan smiled softly and said, "I was still worried about leaving, so I let you stay. Now I can rest assured."
Seeing Mu Hanyan's confident look, Jiang Yuzhe and the others thought of something and their eyes lit up.
How could he forget that even Qu Shanling, the famous old sorcerer, had to ask him for advice on astrology. Maybe he had already figured out some things.
"Mu Cheng, come here." Mu Hanyan shouted to Mu Cheng who was fighting with Mu Ze and others.
"Yes, Brother Hanyan." Compared to others, Mu Cheng felt not only awe but also gratitude towards Mu Yan, and said respectfully.
"I'll write two letters and you deliver them personally." Mu Hanyan said as she picked up the pen and ink on the table, quickly wrote two letters and handed them to Mu Cheng.
"Yes." Mu Cheng took the letter, turned around and left the Mu Mansion without asking any more questions.
Then, Mu Hanyan went to the Nanyan Chamber of Commerce to find Mu Nan. After the two discussed for a while, Mu Nan hurried out.
Mu Hanyan returned to the Mu Mansion and went straight to her father's house.
It was not until late at night that Mu Hanyan pushed the door open and walked out, but instead of returning to her room to rest, she changed into a black suit and flew out from the backyard.
In the moonlight, Mu Hanyan's face was as cold as ice, and the long-lost murderous aura appeared on her body again.
…
For the next half month, Mu Hanyan continued to accompany Mu Ze and others in practicing and sparring. Except for the stricter requirements, there was no difference from before.
Black Rock City was also calm, and only a few people knew that the undercurrent in Black Rock City was turbulent at this time, like the brief calm before the storm.
"Why don't you do it yet? Waiting like this is really frustrating." Mu Hanyan said slowly as she looked at the ever-changing clouds in the sky.
Hua Yue and the others looked at each other, smiled slightly, and a strong fighting spirit appeared in their eyes.
The rapid sound of the bell made Mu Ze and the others stop and look towards the meeting hall in surprise. This ancient bell used for warnings would only be rung when something extremely serious or urgent happened.
Mu Hanyan and the others also stood up at the same time. There was no surprise on their faces, only excitement and anticipation: After waiting for so many days, it’s finally here?
Soon, all the Mu family members came to the spacious open space outside the meeting hall.
I saw the chief elder and two strange men, one old and one young, standing at the door of the hall, looking at everyone with dignity.
"Great Elder, what happened?" Mu Ze and others asked anxiously.
"Be patient, you will find out soon." The elder said calmly, looking extremely excited.
Hearing the long ringing of the alarm bell, Mu Ze and others were all worried and anxious. However, when they arrived, they saw that the Great Elder was calm and composed, and it seemed that nothing important had happened. They couldn't help but complain in their hearts: If there is nothing urgent, why ring the alarm bell? It's just a waste of time.
Of course, under the power accumulated by the Great Elder over the years, no one dared to say such words.
"Grand Elder, what are you doing? Why have you gathered everyone here?" Mu Ruian came quickly, surrounded by several guards. Seeing the Mu family members gathered in a mess outside the meeting hall, he frowned and asked.
"Mu Ruian, you are so bold. The head of the family handed the Mu family lineage in Black Stone City to you, hoping that you would work hard to govern the family and bring honor to the family. Who would have thought that you would abuse your power for personal gain and favor your own children. Do you really think that after leaving the capital, you will be free from the constraints of the clan and can do whatever you want?" The Great Elder did not answer, but the old man next to him started shouting with his beard puffing and eyes glaring.
Everyone was shocked to hear the old man's scolding. Who was this old man and how dare he point fingers at the city lord?
"Who are you?" Mu Ruian looked at the old man and actually showed a look of doubt.
"You unfilial descendant, you have only been away from the capital for a few years, yet you don't even recognize me." The old man started by giving Mu Ruian a severe show of power. He thought Mu Ruian would be frightened and panicked, but he didn't expect that the other party had a confused look on his face and couldn't remember who he was at all. He felt very disappointed, and then roared in anger.
Next to him, the Great Elder also had an embarrassed look on his face. He responded to the old man's scolding with his head held high and chest puffed out, acting condescendingly. However, he didn't know that Mu Ruian couldn't even remember who he had invited. He was about to join in the scolding, but now he couldn't open his mouth.
"Mu Ruian, this is the ninth priest of the Mu clan in the capital, Lord Mu Yunshui. Don't you even recognize him?" The Great Elder could only hold back his temper and introduce the old man's identity first.
Upon learning of Mu Yunshui's origins, all the Mu clan members below were in an uproar. It turned out to be someone from the main clan in the capital. Although they were all descendants of the Mu clan, the branch of the Mu clan extended beyond Blackrock City. The status of the main clan members and those of the branch clans was vastly different.
This Lord Mu Yunshui, as the ninth ancestor of the Mu clan in the capital, held a status far beyond the reach of ordinary clan members. After a brief commotion, everyone quieted down and looked at Mu Ruian with concern.
Those who come with bad intentions will not come. Of course, they could hear that this chief priest came to call Mu Ruian to task.
Most of these descendants of the Mu family are not very old and do not have much desire for power. In the past, they were influenced by several elders and felt repulsive to Mu Ruian's family. But now, even the second and third elders have changed their attitudes, so they will naturally follow suit.
Mu Ruian's biggest weakness in the past was his unlearned, useless eldest son. But now, Mu Hanyan was no longer a useless playboy; she had already become the idol of the younger generation of the Mu family in Blackrock City. Their love for Mu Hanyan was so strong that they respected him even more than before, and they certainly didn't want an "outsider" to harass their patriarch.
"It turns out to be Uncle Seventeen. Why didn't you tell me earlier? I haven't seen him for more than 20 years and I have forgotten what he looks like." Mu Ruian said kindly.
After hearing Mu Ruian's words, Mu Yunshui's expression finally brightened a little. After all, the Mu family was very large, with many relatives, both those who were related to him and those who were not. It was normal for Mu Ruian not to recognize him after not seeing him for over 20 years, and he couldn't blame him.
"We are all family. If Uncle Seventeen wants to come, he can come. Why make such a big fuss? Everyone, just go away." Mu Ruian waved his hand and said to everyone.
