She had known about the falling out between the Mu and Yan families for a long time, but only now did she learn the true story. Fortunately, both sides were still exercising restraint, only appearing to be detached from each other, but the situation had not yet escalated into a heated debate.
"The Yan family, believing they had Yan Yuchu, considered this Destiny Star Plate a sure thing and wanted us to let it go. Little did they know that my precious granddaughter had already awakened her bloodline before she was sixteen, making her no match for Yan Yuchu. For your safety, I certainly wouldn't reveal this to the Yan family. I simply flatly rejected the Yan family head's request, and we parted ways unhappily.
"The Yan family is petty and afraid we'll attack Yan Yuchu, so they've even banned us, the descendants of the Mu family, from going to Xiaoyang City. I don't want to argue with them." It was clear that the old man was filled with anger at the mention of the Yan family, and he glared at them. Mu Hanyan finally understood why Xiaoyang City was designated a forbidden area and why they were not allowed to go there.
"Then let it just end like this?" Seeing her grandfather's angry look like a child, Mu Hanyan couldn't help laughing and then asked.
If they cannot reach a conclusion through negotiation, the Mu family and the Yan family will inevitably become enemies, and they might even repeat the mistakes of the Mu and Zhao families in the past. Whether for the overall interests of the Mu family or for her personal relationship with Yan Yuchu, Mu Hanyan does not want to see such an outcome.
"Of course not. The old man was sulking for a few days and then came to discuss with me, saying that he wanted to compete with our Mu family in the Longyan Academy Disciple Competition to decide the ownership of this Destiny Star Plate.
According to Longyan College's rules, three months after the new students are admitted, a competition is held each year, with the winner being able to enter the college's forbidden area for training. Longyan College has more than one forbidden area for training, and according to our information, this particular area is likely the hiding place of the Destiny Star Plate, killing two birds with one stone.
"That old fellow from the Yan family thought that Yan Yuchu's bloodline awakening was nothing special. This time, I'll show him how powerful our Mu family is." Having said that, Mu Beichen revealed another smug smile.
Obviously, Mu Hanyan was able to awaken her bloodline before the age of sixteen, which made him, as a grandfather, feel very proud.
"Don't worry, Grandfather. I won't let you down." Mu Hanyan said confidently.
If the opponent was someone else, Mu Hanyan might have been a bit worried, but since it was Yan Yuchu, Miss Mu had no worries at all. After all, Yan Yuchu's current strength was thanks to her. Whether they were real enemies or not, Mu Hanyan was confident that she would not lose to Yan Yuchu.
"I do believe what you said. To be honest, you have never disappointed me since I was a child. Not to mention outsiders, even the children of our clan haven't noticed anything unusual about you over the years. Many people still think that you are really an uneducated and dissolute dandy who only knows how to bully men and women. You are a spendthrift, a playboy, and a rip-off. Hahaha." After hearing what Mu Hanyan said, Mu Beichen laughed.
Mu Hanyan was sweating profusely. "Mu wasteful, Mu dandy, Mu ripped off clothes," she thought. "That's all thanks to you all, fanning the flames. How dare you laugh at me?" Especially that father who was such a jerk to his daughter. He was so good at it, so efficient.
"Grandfather, I don't have to hide my strength anymore, right?" Mu Hanyan asked.
"I'm afraid it's hard to hide it even if I want to. My strength has reached the level of Sword Master. If I want to improve further, I can't just rely on hard training behind closed doors. Only with more experience can I gain more insights and find the opportunity for a breakthrough. How can I keep hiding it forever?
Fortunately, the Temple's masters have arrived on the Holy Court Continent. Even masters comparable to Sword Saints will be suppressed to the level of Sword Masters, unless they risk everything to use forbidden techniques to break the seal. It's not easy for them to pass through the sealed forbidden land and reach the Holy Court Continent, so they won't use forbidden techniques unless it's absolutely necessary. So you don't have to worry too much about them. Even if they do use a forbidden technique, if you can't defeat them, just run away and wait until the forbidden technique is over.
"What I'm really worried about are the descendants of the other gods' guardians. "The Zhao family will do anything to secure the Destiny Star Plate, and others might be willing to do the same. Unfortunately, aside from the Zhao and Yan families, I know nothing about the descendants of the other gods' guardians, so I can't offer any advice. You'll just have to be extra careful," Mu Beichen said cautiously.
"Grandfather, I will be careful." Mu Hanyan said this with a serious expression.
She had no idea where the descendants of the other gods' guardians were, or whether they were good or evil, but there was one person she knew - Miss Zhao Si.
Although the Zhao family was destroyed, Miss Zhao Si came back to life. If I am not mistaken, Miss Zhao Si should have awakened the divine blood in her body and was reborn miraculously. She is likely to be more powerful than other descendants of the gods' protection.
The hatred of genocide and the murder of her own family—with Miss Zhao Si's temperament, she would never let it go. Of course, if they met again, Mu Hanyan would never give her another chance to live again. Mu Hanyan's eyes turned cold. If he could kill her once, he could kill her a second time!
"By the way, Grandfather, I have several guards around me, Hua Yue, Zirong and Jiang Yuzhe. There are also some strange things about them..." Mu Hanyan suddenly remembered Hua Yue and the others, and told Mu Beichen about the strange things about them. The key point was the eight words "The God of War has come to the world, and the world is dominated by him."
"What? There is such a strange thing!" After hearing Mu Hanyan's words, Mu Beichen was also shocked, and then he fell into deep thought.
Because his father was not very clear about the family secrets and was unwilling to interfere too much in Mu Hanyan's affairs, fearing that his subjective speculation would affect Mu Hanyan's growth, he was unwilling to ask many questions, and Mu Hanyan did not mention much either, so this was the first time Mu Beichen heard about it.
Seeing that her grandfather was frowning and thinking for a long time without saying anything, Mu Hanyan did not speak to disturb him.
"Your father mentioned Huayue's life story in his letter. I initially thought he was just an ordinary temple priest who, homesick for his homeland, rebelled and returned to the Holy Court Continent. When the continent split, some tribes were accidentally separated from their homeland and later found ways to return. This kind of thing has been common over the past hundreds of thousands of years.
But from what you said, is there something else going on?
Also, Zirong and Jiang Yuzhe also had such an adventure. Could it be that they are also descendants of the Guardian of God?
"But that doesn't make sense. Our Mu family has been searching for the descendants of the other guardian gods, but after all these years, we only know the identities of the Zhao and Yan families, and nothing about the others. How could so many descendants of the gods suddenly appear, and all gather around you?" Mu Beichen said in disbelief after a long pause.
"Grandfather, you don't know either?" Mu Hanyan thought she could find the answer from him, but she couldn't help feeling disappointed when she heard this answer that was not an answer.
