Mu Hanyan was looking for the two people in the crowd. She had no intersection with these two people in her previous life, but Mu Hanyan had a photographic memory. When her mother Yue Fanling discovered this talent, she was so happy, but her father frowned slightly and just said "oh" lightly. In the following days, whenever Mu Hanyan showed her photographic memory again, she was scolded by her father. Over time, Mu Hanyan never showed it again.
Later, Mu Hanyan realized that her father's frowns and scoldings were a sign of his concern. He worried that his daughter's excessive talent, drawing attention, would bring disaster upon her. That's why he forbade her from expressing such talent in the future. At the time, she didn't understand, believing her father truly hated her to the core. It wasn't until the end that she understood his earnest intentions.
The Mu family is a prominent family in the capital, renowned for their wealth and influence within the imperial court. However, her father and mother were exiled to the remote town of Black Stone City. In her previous life, it was said that her father was exiled to Black Stone City because of her involvement. Since childhood, she had been predicted by a renowned figure to have no talent for cultivation and be a worthless person. This renowned figure was a renowned astrologer. In this world, astrologers hold a unique profession, able to discern the mysteries of the universe, predict the future, and ward off disaster and bring good fortune. It is a highly respected profession.
However, the unique characteristic of this profession is that truly capable astrologers are incredibly rare. Many people have claimed to be astrologers, only to be proven to be nothing more than fraudulent charlatans. Accomplished astrologers are a rare commodity. The person who predicted that Mu Hanyan would achieve nothing in her life due to her lack of cultivation talent was a renowned astrologer. Consequently, the world unquestionably believed his words, naturally believing Mu Hanyan to be a total loser.
But now Mu Hanyan thought about it carefully, and that reason simply didn't hold water. She was useless, but her brother, Mu Hanfeng, was incredibly talented! Furthermore, her parents' strength and abilities would have been a significant asset to the Mu family if they had stayed in the capital. However, Murong Liang, the patriarch of the Mu family and Mu Hanyan's grandfather, resolutely exiled her parents to this small town.
Later, Mu Hanyan realized that this was probably the family's way of protecting her! Who could possibly want her life? Even the Mu family couldn't save her, so they had to come up with this method to protect her. Who was the enemy she had to face? And the astrologer who predicted that she would achieve nothing in her life was probably the patriarch of the Mu family who had tricked him into saying that to hide it from the world. What efforts had the family made for her? Mu Hanyan's heart tightened.
Mu Hanyan shook her head slightly, coming back to her senses. She always thought about the past inadvertently. The more she thought about it, the more she felt the love and protection her family had given her, which made her more determined to become stronger as soon as possible to protect her family!
Mu Hanyan walked into the crowd, searching for the two men. The guards in the City Lord's Mansion now knew why they had been summoned. Some despised Mu Hanyan's choice of personal guards, yet they also hoped to be chosen. Becoming the personal guard of the City Lord's eldest son not only increased monthly wages, but also provided access to superior cultivation resources. Although Mu Hanyan was a frivolous and dissolute man, he couldn't stand up to the overly doting City Lord's wife. For the safety of her precious son, she would undoubtedly allocate a significant amount of cultivation resources to Mu Hanyan's personal guards.
