At dawn, Mu Hanyan got up, washed, and opened the gate as usual.
Outside the door, several maids were pruning branches quietly. When they saw Mu Hanyan come out, they just looked up and then lowered their heads as usual. Two servants, who were only fifteen or sixteen years old, walked past the gate of the yard. There was a little fear in their eyes when they looked at Mu Hanyan, but it didn't seem too abnormal.
Mu Hanyan was a little surprised. The Mu family has always been tolerant towards their servants and there are not too many rules. These maids and servants are fifteen or sixteen years old and are very lively and cheerful. After knowing the result of the competition between herself and Mu Feng, they should not be so calm, right?
You know, these guys usually chatter and gossip a lot when they have nothing to do.
"I have issued a gag order. You can only see the result of the competition between you and Mu Feng, but you must never let outsiders know about it." Mu Ruian's slightly low and magnetic voice suddenly sounded beside him.
"Dad." Mu Hanyan saluted quickly. After her rebirth, she understood her father's deep love for her and knew that he was actually protecting her in his own way, so she was filled with respect and love for him.
Mu Ruian was slightly stunned. In the past, Mu Hanyan had treated him with far more respect than affection, and she mostly addressed him as "Dad". Hearing her call him "Dad" so affectionately early in the morning was a bit unusual for him.
"Let's go inside and talk." Mu Ruian closed the gate and walked inside. He still had the same stern face as before, but his voice was much softer than before.
Mu Hanyan's heartbeat inexplicably quickened. For so many years, her father had been indifferent to her, like a stranger, never even visiting her yard. And now, so early this morning, was he here to solve the mystery? She had long suspected there was something else behind everything her parents did, but she simply didn't know how to ask. Of course, her father taking the initiative was more than she could wish for.
"When did your strength improve?" Mu Ruian asked when he came to the room.
Although he gave Mu Hanyan a Meridian Cleansing Pill, he also knew that this pill alone would not allow Mu Hanyan to be promoted from a first-level swordsman to a sixth-level swordsman in such a short period of time. In his opinion, Mu Hanyan's strength should have improved significantly long ago, and the Meridian Cleansing Pill was just the icing on the cake to help her reach a higher level.
When Mu Hanyan heard her father asking about her strength, she didn't want to hide it, so she told him everything about Xinghuan Qianji. At this moment, she felt a violent vibration from the star disk in her heart, and a strong warning flooded into her mind.
Mu Hanyan swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth, pretending to think, and her hand "accidentally" swept across the star plate hanging on her chest.
"Don't say it, otherwise it will bring him fatal disaster." A few small words quickly came into his sight, but with her hand as a cover, they did not attract Mu Ruian's attention.
"It's been a while." Mu Hanyan answered vaguely.
Xinghuan Qianji had inexplicably appeared beside her since the day of her rebirth. Its origin was already mysterious, and then it helped her to increase her strength soaring. Everything seemed even more bizarre, so Mu Hanyan did not dare to ignore its warning.
"It's been a while, and even I didn't notice it." Mu Hanyan's answer was exactly the same as Mu Ruian's guess, so he nodded without any doubt and said, "It seems that you also understand the principle that a tree that stands out in the forest will be overwhelmed by the wind, and you know how to keep a low profile. This is very good. In the future, if it is not necessary, don't easily reveal your strength, and try to conceal it as much as possible."
