After pushing Mu Hanfeng out, Mu Hanyan hurried back to her own courtyard to pack her belongings. She said she was packing, but in reality, she was just checking to see if there was anything else she needed to take. The servants had already packed her belongings. Mu Hanyan wished she could fly away from Black Stone City. The thought of those old men's green eyes made her heart tremble. She wondered how her brother Hanfeng was doing, and whether he'd successfully escaped those old men. Just thinking about it must be enough to give him a headache.
Mu Hanyan pretended to sympathize with her "lucky" brother in her heart, and then continued to prepare to leave Black Stone City and go to the capital.
"Dad, Mom, I'm leaving. Take care of yourselves." Mu Hanyan held her parents' hands and said reluctantly, her voice choked with sobs.
At this moment, Mu Hanyan no longer had the coldness and ruthlessness she had when facing the enemy, only deep attachment.
"You have to take care of yourself too." Tears flashed in the mother's eyes, but she was afraid that Mu Hanyan would worry, so she tried to force a smile.
"By the way, Mom, where is Hanfeng?" At such an important moment of separation, Mu Hanfeng was nowhere to be seen. Mu Hanyan was secretly puzzled: No, he was really forced to consummate the marriage by those old guys.
"He left too. His strength is no longer suitable for staying in Black Stone City. It will only waste his time and talent." Mu Ruian said.
"What? He went to the capital, too?" Mu Hanyan exclaimed in surprise. Black Stone City was too small, and the Mu family's branch wasn't well-established enough to provide Mu Hanfeng, a swordsman, with better training resources or sword techniques. Besides the Mu family's main branch in the capital, or the four major academies, Mu Hanyan couldn't think of any other place that could help him improve his skills.
"No, he's not going to the capital. He said he has a better place to practice and his own path, and he doesn't want to be bound by so many restrictions," his mother said kindly. It was clear that she was a little worried about her son's departure, but she still supported his decision without hesitation.
Mu Hanyan suddenly realized and thought about it carefully. Although Mu Hanfeng was stronger than Mu Feng before, his strength was limited. After returning from this training, he was promoted to the level of swordsman in one go. He must have had some adventure and gained some insights that were different from ordinary people, so he made such a decision.
Mu Hanyan originally wanted to give the Tianxin Gongfa, which she had improved and upgraded several times, to Mu Hanfeng, but after knowing his decision, she gave up the idea.
Everyone has their own path to walk, and this applies to both life and cultivation. Her Tianxin technique, while profound and profound, wasn't accessible to everyone. Without Xinghuan Qianji's help in cleansing her marrow and strengthening her meridians, she wouldn't have been able to achieve any results. If she rashly handed it over to Mu Hanfeng, she might end up harming him. It was best to let him pursue his own path.
"First Elder, Second Elder, Third Elder, I'm leaving. I've caused you so much trouble in the past. Please be magnanimous and don't take it to heart." Mu Hanyan said apologetically to the three elders.
Although the three elders had prejudices against her in the past and often targeted her, Mu Hanyan had caused quite a lot of trouble and any elders would be overwhelmed, so they couldn't just blame the three elders.
"Han Yan, you are being too polite. Everyone has been young and reckless once. Young people should be full of vigor and vitality. Do they have to be as lifeless and old-fashioned as us old men?" The elder said seriously.
Hearing the words of the Great Elder, Mu Ze, Mu Ying and others behind him covered their mouths and laughed. The Great Elder did not say this before. Instead, he often scolded them for not being steady enough and not having the composure of a descendant of an aristocratic family. Why did he change his mind now? It was obvious that they were playboys and troublemakers, but in his mouth, they were described as young and energetic.
Hearing the chuckles behind him, the Great Elder turned around and cursed, "Laugh, laugh, you still have the nerve to laugh? Am I wrong? Who saved our Mu family from danger this time? Who was it that took the initiative and planned everything? If you continue to cling to the old ways and refuse to make progress, just sit back and wait for death, be careful or I'll skin you alive."
Uh... does this mean that they should also learn from Mu Dawanku and cause trouble everywhere?
Fortunately, the citizens of Black Stone City did not hear the words of the Great Elder, otherwise I don’t know how many people would dare to stay.
It would be fine if only the eldest Mu family was a playboy, but if all the younger generations of the Mu family became playboys, would there be any hope for human life?
"Don't worry, Great Elder. We will practice diligently in the future and work hard to revitalize the Mu family. We will never let down the elders, and we will not let Brother Hanyan's efforts go to waste." Mu Ze and others knew, of course, that the Great Elder now liked Mu Hanyan in every way and even regarded his various "bad" deeds as his strengths. If they really dared to stir up trouble like the great playboy Mu did in the past, they would probably be skinned alive, so they did not take it seriously and said with a serious face.
"Don't try too hard. Cultivation is most afraid of being impatient and irritable. Just proceed step by step." Mu Hanyan said with a smile. Not everyone has her fate, and she didn't want Mu Ze and the others to be influenced by her and focus on cultivation, losing the joy they should have.
In their previous lives, they suffered innocently because of their own involvement. In this life, I just hope they can live happily.
Not many people came to see him off. Besides Mu Ruian and his wife and the three elders, there were younger generations like Mu Ze who were familiar with Mu Hanyan. These people were also the future pillars of the Mu family. Another one was Yi Qinglian, who was becoming increasingly plump. Mu Feng stood next to Yi Qinglian with a flattering look on his face. Mu Feng finally discovered a truth, that is, Yi Qinglian's attitude towards him depended on his attitude towards Mu Hanyan. If he was kind to Mu Hanyan, Yi Qinglian would be kind to him. He also finally realized that Yi Qinglian and Mu Hanyan were truly friends and there was no romantic relationship between them. After confirming this, he was simply overjoyed. In addition, Yi Qinglian's attitude towards him had improved recently, and he felt that his future was brighter.
"Hanyan, you have to take care of yourself." Yi Qinglian said reluctantly.
"Well, silly girl, you have to take care of yourself too. I'm relieved to have Mu Feng looking after you. Just go ahead and enslave him." Mu Hanyan felt relieved as she watched Yi Qinglian and Mu Feng standing together. In her previous life, after Yi Qinglian's tragic death, Mu Feng nearly went mad. He was also desperate to avenge Yi Qinglian, but Mu Hanyan got there first. Mu Hanyan was certain of Mu Feng's sincerity towards Yi Qinglian. So, seeing these two together made her feel at ease.
"I don't want to take care of myself. I've gained weight recently and I want to lose weight! I won't look good if I get any fatter." Yi Qinglian's face turned a little dark when she heard Mu Hanyan's words.
"No, no, Qinglian, you look good in any look. Just eat whatever you want." Mu Feng said hurriedly and flatteringly.
"What a prospect." Mu Hanyan rolled her eyes at Mu Feng's servile demeanor. Well, it was foreseeable that he would be another wife slave in the future, and one who would enjoy it.
Everyone laughed, diluting the reluctance and sadness of parting.
Mu Hanyan was even feeling a little excited and anxious as she was about to go to the Mu family in the capital to find out the truth.
