Mu Yunshui rolled his eyes inwardly. "Okay, I've already been a peacemaker, but Mu Chengxuan won't give me face, so there's nothing I can do. If you insist on standing up for the servant, that's your own business. You can't blame me." Mu Yunshui had no good feelings for Mu Hanyan, or for her entire family. He wished she'd suffer, so he didn't bother to remind her.
"Aunt Xiu, don't say anything. You have served my parents for many years. In my eyes, you are like an elder. Yun'er has a strong personality, which suits my temper very well. Today, I will accept her as my sister. From now on, your affairs will be my affairs. Anyone who dares to bully you will be an enemy of me, Mu Hanyan." Mu Hanyan waved her hand and said to Aunt Xiu.
Mu Hanyan knew that even if Zhuang Chengjun had not appeared, Mu Chengxuan would still find a reason to cause trouble for her, so it didn't matter whether she stood up for Aunt Xiu and her daughter or not.
But the matter was ultimately caused by them. Even if she could get through the difficulties today, Zhuang Chengjun would inevitably retaliate in the future, so she might as well be a good person to the end.
"Hahahaha, I've heard for a long time that the playboy Mu from Black Stone City is very approachable and courteous, and he can make friends with all kinds of people. I didn't quite believe it at first, but today I found out that the rumor is true. It would be fine if he stood up for his servants, but he actually wants to become a brother or sister with such a lowly person. If this gets out, I'm afraid the Mu family will lose face because of you." Mu Chengxuan laughed loudly and said sarcastically.
"I'll say it again, Aunt Xiu is my elder. I adopted Yun'er as my sister, so they are my family." Having said this, Mu Hanyan pointed at Hua Yue and the others and said in a resounding voice, "And they are my friends and my partners. If you humiliate them, you are humiliating me, Mu Hanyan."
Mu Hanyan's expression was so solemn. Her voice was not loud, but it sounded like a thunder in her ears.
"Young Master..." Aunt Xiu looked at Mu Hanyan, tears rolling down her cheeks again.
Han Yun'er also stared at Mu Hanyan blankly. Even though she had been insulted before, even though she was filled with grief and despair, she had not shed tears, but now they rolled down her cheeks.
Although she was a commoner, she had suffered from contempt and humiliation since childhood because of her mother's humble background. Mu Hanyan, as the eldest grandson of the head of the Mu family, not only stood up for her, but also accepted her as his sister regardless of their status. If she hadn't heard it with her own ears, she would have thought she was dreaming.
She was young, but she had suffered since childhood, and her mind was much more mature than her peers. She quickly realized that Mu Hanyan was worried that she would be retaliated by Zhuang Chengjun later, so she took her in as her sister. Thinking of this, she felt even more grateful to Mu Hanyan.
Not only Aunt Xiu and her daughter, but also Huayue and Zirong had tears in their eyes.
Mu Yunshui also looked at Mu Hanyan, feeling some inexplicable emotion in his heart.
During the battle of Black Stone City, the Wu family, the second largest family in Nanxi County, rushed to help from thousands of miles away because of Mu Hanyan. The Yuan family also joined the Mu family at the critical moment because of him. At first, he was a little confused, but after seeing this scene, he seemed to understand something.
"He is a fifth-level swordsman, much stronger than me. The Qingyun Sword he carries is also one of the seven divine swords passed down from our Mu family." Mu Yunshui gathered his energy and transmitted his voice, speaking to Mu Hanyan as if possessed by a ghost.
Mu Hanyan glanced at him and nodded slightly.
Didn't Mu Chengxuan say that she was just good at talking? She would let him know who was the one who was good at talking, and would make him regret his words and actions today!
"It's ridiculous that you've fallen into depravity!" Mu Chengxuan sneered disdainfully.
"We'll see who's the funny one later." Mu Hanyan's face was cold and expressionless.
"Let's do it." Mu Chengxuan suddenly drew out the Qingyun Sword.
Amid the dragon's roar, a sharp sword force, like a raging wave, enveloped Mu Hanyan.
Under the powerful pressure, Hua Yue and the others felt their heartbeats suddenly stop and their faces turned slightly pale.
Aunt Xiu and her daughter were forced to retreat more than ten steps before they could finally catch their breath.
"What a powerful sword!" Mu Hanyan's expression became more solemn than ever before.
With the art of shape-shifting barrier and the absolute defense of Cang Xuan Yunsha, she could compete with Mu Chengxuan, a fifth-level swordsman. However, the grade of Qingyun Sword far exceeded that of Zhenshui Sword, which was also an ancestral sword of the Mu family.
If Mu Hanyan was not mistaken, this Qingyun Sword, like her Hanxiao Sword, also had spirituality. Although its spirituality was not strong, it was by no means comparable to the ordinary so-called divine swords. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was a semi-divine weapon.
He is a fifth-rank swordsman himself and has a semi-divine weapon in his hand. Even if Mu Hanyan has the Hanxiao Sword in her hand, she may not be able to defeat him easily. What's more, her Hanxiao Sword is still sleeping in the Sword Heart Soul Washing Pool.
This battle is likely to be difficult. Mu Hanyan frowned slightly.
"Draw your sword," Mu Chengxuan said proudly, but suddenly he noticed that Mu Hanyan's waist was empty. He was slightly startled, and then he shouted sarcastically, "Black Stone City can't be so poor that it can't even afford a decent sword? Do you want me to give you one?"
Hearing his sarcasm, Hua Yue and the others glared at him and reached out to unsheathe their swords at the same time. However, when they looked at the brilliance of the divine sword in Mu Chengxuan's hand, they stopped at the same time.
In comparison, the quality of their swords is too ordinary, and they will probably be chopped into scrap metal by the Qingyun Sword in just a few moves.
At this moment, a plain long sword was handed to Mu Hanyan.
"Thank you." Mu Hanyan smiled slightly as she took the sword handed to her by Ye Lanxun.
"Between us, do we even need to say thank you?" Ye Lanxuan smiled calmly, but the doting in his eyes was so obvious.
Seeing this scene, Hua Yue and the others turned their heads away again, silently chanting the seven-word mantra in their hearts: "I didn't see anything, I didn't see anything."
"A member of the Mu family, you are so poor that you have to borrow a sword from a servant. Aren't you ashamed?" Mu Chengxuan didn't notice anything unusual and said with contempt.
"He is my friend." Mu Hanyan said lightly.
"Yes, I almost forgot. He is not only your friend, but also your partner." Mu Chengxuan said with a sneer.
As a member of the clan, and having been accepted as a disciple by the Grand Elder since childhood, it goes without saying how high Mu Chengxuan's status in the clan is. He doesn't even take a family worshipper like Mu Yunshui seriously, so how could he take servants seriously?
Mu Hanyan actually treated servants as friends and partners. In his opinion, it was a joke in the world, or a shame for all the members of the Mu family.
But this time...
Zirong and others looked at Mu Chengxuan as if he were an idiot.
Servant?
Hahahaha, go to hell with your servants.
The identity of this Mr. Ye Lanxuan is probably much higher than they imagined.
Wait for death, you idiot who keeps talking about cheap things.
No, go ****!
(Ask for a monthly ticket, everyone.)
