"Our Nanyan Chamber of Commerce has flourished throughout the past year, relying on Senior Wenren's reputation to move forward unimpeded. However, Lin'an County is the only place where we find ourselves facing difficulties. Not only our Nanyan Chamber of Commerce, but also the descendants of the eight great families in the capital, have to behave themselves when they arrive in Lin'an County.
If Miss Yu really fell into the hands of the nobles, and you rushed to Lin'an County like this, let alone whether you could find out Miss Yu's whereabouts, even if you did, how would you rescue her?"
"Che Xiang, I know what you said, but Zirong is my friend. I can't ignore his affairs. Let alone the aristocratic families, even if it's a dangerous place, I will go there to break in." Mu Hanyan said firmly.
Looking at Mu Hanyan's determined gaze, even Hua Yue and the others' eyes became moist.
They had also heard of the might of the Anlin nobles. Although these ancient families had long faded from the sight of ordinary people, they knew that these nobles were like sleeping beasts, guarding their territories. Even the Anyun royal family was reluctant to offend them lightly, fearing that awakening these sleeping beasts would bring unforeseen disasters to their own royal power.
However, Mu Hanyan did not hesitate at all, and this was just for a guard.
"Well said, this is the descendant of our Mu family." At this moment, an old and relieved voice sounded outside the door.
"Grandfather!" Mu Hanyan was surprised when she recognized Mu Beichen's voice and opened the door.
"Greetings to the master of the family, greetings to the master of the family." Upon seeing Mu Beichen's awe-inspiring face, Hua Yue and others hurriedly bowed in greeting.
Che Xiang did not dare to be negligent and kept changing the tea and pouring water. He was so excited that even his fingers were shaking.
This is the head of the Mu family, one of the eight great families in the capital. Even the children of the branch families rarely see him, and he never dreamed that he would have such an opportunity.
"Grandfather, why are you here?" Mu Hanyan handed over the tea and asked in confusion.
"I also received a letter from your father. Zirong's matter is your matter, and your matter is also my matter." Mu Beichen said with a smile.
"Grandfather, are you willing to help?" Mu Hanyan said in surprise.
Knowing the strength of the Anlin clan, Mu Hanyan had originally not wanted to implicate the Zong family, so she decided to personally travel to Anlin County with Zirong and the others. Of course, Mu Hanyan knew that this decision was a bit of a righteous decision and might not have a good outcome, but she couldn't just stand by and watch the tragedy of her previous life befall Zirong again.
If Mu Beichen was willing to take action, the situation would be very different. As one of the eight great families in the capital, or even one of the two great families of Anyun, he must be much stronger than them.
"Black Stone City is the territory of my Mu family, and the people under its jurisdiction are also my Mu family's citizens. They were kidnapped for no reason. It's clear that they don't take my Mu family seriously. How can I just ignore it?" Mu Beichen's expression darkened and he said proudly, releasing an invisible aura from his body, making him inviolable.
Hua Yue and the others looked at the old man's majestic face and couldn't help but feel the urge to bow down and kowtow. Everyone was secretly shocked. Just how powerful was the head of the Mu family?
"Okay, don't worry about this matter anymore, just leave it to me." Mu Beichen waved his arm and said neatly.
"Master Patriarch, will doing this bring trouble to the clan?" Zirong hesitated for a moment and said to Mu Beichen.
Although Mu Beichen's words had been righteous and awe-inspiring, Zirong knew they were merely excuses. While Blackrock City had enjoyed peace and prosperity under Mu Ruian's governance, there were still cases of crime, murder, and arson. If he were to manage them all, could he manage them all?
The only reason he intervened was Mu Hanyan.
However, Zirong also knew that the aristocratic families in Anlin County were not to be trifled with, and she was afraid that she would harm the Mu family because of her. These aristocratic families were intertwined and interconnected, and if she was not careful, she might offend not just one aristocratic family, but several major families, and even the royal family.
The current Mu family is not the Mu family of ten thousand years ago, and it is absolutely unable to face such tremendous pressure.
"It's no wonder that Han Yan values you so much since you think so. You don't have to worry. I know how to handle this matter. In short, just leave it to me." Mu Beichen looked at Zirong deeply, nodded with satisfaction, and said.
After saying this, Mu Beichen walked out proudly.
Behind him, Huayue, Zirong and others bowed respectfully and saw him off, with heartfelt respect in their eyes.
No one had expected that Zirong's affairs would alarm the patriarch, and no one had expected that he would intervene without hesitation. Being able to follow Mu Hanyan was not only Zirong's fortune, but also the fortune of all of them.
"Okay, you can rest assured now." Mu Hanyan finally breathed a sigh of relief and said to Zirong.
"Since the Patriarch is willing to help, I'm certainly relieved." Zirong smiled, a rare smile. Although it was still a little reluctant, she felt a little relieved.
"Zirong, I know you are anxious, but there is nothing you can do now. Just calm down and wait for good news from my grandfather." Mu Hanyan could only comfort Zirong in this way.
"Yeah." Zirong nodded vigorously.
"By the way, if it was really the aristocratic families who took action, why would they find Miss Yu?" Che Xiang asked with some confusion.
Mu Hanyan and others were only concerned about Yu Qingwan's safety and did not think of this. They were also confused and looked at Zirong.
"I don't know about that either. Although the Yu family is considered a respectable noble family in Black Stone City, it can't be compared with the Anlin noble family. They shouldn't have any hatred." Zirong said with a heavy face.
"Okay, let's not think about this for now. Once my grandfather finds the person, there will naturally be an answer." Mu Hanyan never seeks trouble for herself, and this time is no exception.
"Sir, we have found some clues about the purple-heart nectar grass you asked me to inquire about last time. I am asking people to investigate it in detail. I should have news in a few days." Che Xiang's excited mood finally calmed down, and he said to Mu Hanyan.
"There's no rush for this matter. Let's send more people to find out Yu Qingwan's whereabouts," Mu Hanyan said, waving her hand. Although Grandfather had already taken action, Mu Hanyan couldn't just sit there and wait for news.
"Yes, sir." Che Xiang responded quickly.
"By the way, please help me pick out some decent swords, similar to the ones from last time. Also, pick out a batch of high-quality elixirs." Mu Hanyan counted them and took out 20 million silver notes and handed them to the roof of the car.
The Chamber of Commerce belongs to the Chamber of Commerce, and she belongs to herself. Mu Hanyan doesn't want to develop the bad habit of spending money lavishly and at will, otherwise she might accidentally collapse the Chamber of Commerce. After all, the cultivation resources she needs now are becoming more and more valuable.
