In fact, long before Mu Hanyan arrived, many rumors had already spread to the capital. No one knew whether they were true or false, and he didn't take them to heart. As long as Mu Hanyan didn't spread the rumors, he would be even less worried.
"Also, thank you for what you did just now." Mu Hanyan said to Mu Yunshui again.
"Hanyan, you're too polite. I just can't stand Mu Chengxuan's arrogance. Besides, we are both descendants of the Mu family, so why should we fight to the death?" Mu Yunshui shook his head and said.
Hearing him say this, Mu Hanyan felt a little more favorable towards him. She remembered the last time he accepted the Great Elder's favor and came to Black Stone City, he had originally intended to bring an army to bear against Mu Ruian's family. However, as soon as Zhao Yuanji and the others showed up, he immediately turned his attention to the matter. Although he underestimated the enemy and was seriously injured by Zhao Yuanji's palm, his loyalty to the clan was evident.
Mu Hanyan didn't find it strange that Mu Yuanshui had begged Zhao Yuanji for mercy after being severely injured. To outsiders, the main and branch branches of the major families seemed closely connected, but in reality, even the Mu family was not that close. Just as the Mu clan in Blackstone City always treated Mu Ruian's family as outsiders, the main family members rarely took the branch families seriously.
What's more, many descendants of the main family have lived a life of luxury and have never experienced much life and death. It is impossible to expect them to fight for the division of the family.
Although Mu Yuanshui was the Ninth Priest of the family, this position was originally obtained through the influence of his father and master. In terms of strength and courage, he did not live up to the title, so his behavior was not surprising. In fact, it was probably only Mu Zexian and other descendants who were abandoned by the Mu family early on that would take him seriously as the Ninth Priest.
No one is perfect. Mu Hanyan has lived two lives and has seen much of the world's joys and sorrows, and the warmth and coldness of human nature. Her heart is much more open-minded than that of ordinary people.
"By the way, how is Mu Ziping?" Mu Hanyan asked.
"Oh, don't mention it. Ever since he returned to the capital, he has been staying indoors all day. It must be that the blow he suffered in Black Stone City was too great, and he couldn't get over it for a while. No matter how I tried to persuade him, it was useless. Han Yan, if he provokes you again next time, I hope you will show mercy." Mu Yunshui said helplessly.
Mu Yunshui was tortured by Mu Hanyan's jokes and felt much more emotional, so he made such a request.
Perhaps others are not very clear about Mu Hanyan's strength, but he knows it best. In the entire Mu family, only the third elder's family is qualified to compete with him. Others, including Mu Ziping, simply do not have this strength.
"As long as he doesn't go too far, I won't make things difficult for him." Mu Hanyan promised.
Although Mu Ziping's father had competed with Mu Ruian for the position of the head of the branch family, and was furious after being defeated, he attacked Mu Ruian from behind, but he ultimately failed and was seriously injured. His cultivation could never be improved for the rest of his life, which could be considered as the punishment he deserved.
Mu Ziping came to Black Stone City but failed. Not only was he seriously injured, but even his True Water Sword was destroyed by Mu Hanfeng, which could be considered a punishment.
This family was truly unlucky. They had to mess with Mu Ruian's family when they could have messed with anyone else. As long as he didn't go too far, Mu Hanyan would certainly not mess with him anymore.
As they were talking, the two had already arrived at Mu Beichen's residence.
Yun Bo was already waiting at the gate of the courtyard. When he saw Mu Hanyan, a gentle smile appeared on his face.
Mu Yunshui said goodbye, and Mu Hanyan followed Yun Boyun to see his grandfather.
"Hanyan, you're here." When Mu Beichen saw Mu Hanyan, a warm smile immediately appeared on his face, and his eyes were full of love.
"Isn't grandma here?" Mu Hanyan only saw her grandfather and asked in confusion.
During the time she was away from Blackrock City, she spent every day with her mother, listening to her talk about the clan family, and naturally, she mentioned her grandmother. However, every time she mentioned her grandmother, her mother was vague, only full of respect. So Mu Hanyan was full of curiosity about this grandmother she had never met. She had thought she would see her once she returned to the clan family, but she didn't see her, which was a bit disappointing.
"Your grandmother went back to her parents' home to visit her relatives and hasn't come back yet. Today it's just the two of us, grandparents and grandchildren." Mu Beichen said.
"Where is my grandmother's family?" Mu Hanyan had never heard her mother talk about her grandmother's family background, so she was a little curious.
"Your grandmother is not from Anyun. Her family is tens of thousands of miles away. When your grandmother and I got married, both families tried their best to obstruct her. Later, your grandmother broke off relations with her family in a fit of anger and went back to Anyun with me. So this is the first time she has been back in all these years, and she may have to stay for a while. Let's not talk about this anymore. Come on, we haven't seen each other for more than ten years. Come and have a couple of drinks with grandpa." Mu Beichen was obviously reluctant to talk more about his grandmother's family background, and said it vaguely.
Only then did Mu Hanyan realize that her grandfather and grandmother's marriage had such a difficult journey. Thinking about it carefully, her grandfather must have been incredibly talented to become the head of the family. Furthermore, given the Mu family's status, every wealthy family in Anyun Kingdom would have been eager to marry into their family. However, he had chosen a woman from outside Anyun Kingdom. Not only would the Mu family disapprove, but even the Anyun royal family might have disapproved.
After all, the origin of the Mu family is too special. Even though their strength has declined after the battle with the Zhao family, and the two former aristocratic families have become eight major families, the Anyun royal family dare not underestimate them. How could they easily allow the Mu family to marry into a family from another country?
What made Mu Hanyan most curious was that the Mu family obstructed it, and the other party actually disagreed. Her grandmother's family background should not be that simple.
Although the gossip fire in her heart was slightly ignited, she didn't ask more questions since her grandfather was unwilling to say more.
After sitting down with my grandfather, the maids soon started serving the dishes.
The dishes are not luxurious, but extremely exquisite, with good color, aroma and taste.
The grandfather and grandson were having their meal while chatting about some interesting things in Black Stone City. They were having a great time and it didn't seem lonely at all.
"By the way, you don't have a suitable sword yet, so you can use this sword." Mu Beichen handed a long sword to Mu Hanyan seemingly unintentionally.
Mu Hanyan took the sword and slightly unsheathed the tip of the sword. Immediately, Mu Hanyan felt the bone-chilling chill and the agility in the sword.
"This is..." Mu Hanyan looked at her grandfather in surprise.
"This is the Wunian Sword." Grandfather said lightly.
"No, I can't take this sword. Let grandpa keep it." Mu Hanyan was slightly startled and handed the sword back respectfully.
The Wunian Sword is the first of the seven ancestral divine swords of the Mu family. It ranks even higher than the Qingyun Sword in Mu Chengxuan's hand. Even the Qingyun Sword can be called a semi-divine weapon, so the Wunian Sword is of course of a higher grade.
Not everyone possesses Ye Lanxuan's detached and carefree nature, possessing the arrogance hidden beneath his indifferent smile that sees him look down upon the world and tower over all things, even dismissing legendary artifacts as scrap metal. For the vast majority of swordsmen on the Holy Court Continent, the sword is their most loyal friend, their loved one, and even their life.
