Chapter 853: Playing Pigs to Eat Tigers is More Rewarding Later



Mu Hanyan then realized that next year would be the year for the once-every-three-hundred-years competition among the eight great families. She knew the significance of this competition: different rankings would equate to different statuses for each family, and thus, different resources. This competition could very well affect the future of the Mu family.

This is probably the reason why Mo Qingkuang returned to the Mo family at this time.

Her grandfather didn't tell him about such a big thing, and even her parents didn't tell her, obviously not wanting to put too much pressure on her.

Thinking of the love and care her elders showed her, Mu Hanyan was secretly moved and made up her mind: no matter what, she must give her all in next year's competition and give her grandfather and parents a surprise.

"Master Shen, how exactly does this competition work?" Mu Hanyan asked.

"I don't know about that. The method of each competition is different. It will be decided by the eight major families at that time. But no matter how the competition is carried out, it is definitely related to the strength of cultivation." Shen Moce replied.

It turns out that the method of the competition is different every time. Mu Hanyan originally wanted to make some preparations in advance, but now she doesn't know where to start. However, Shen Moce is right. No matter how the competition is carried out, it is definitely related to the strength of cultivation. It is better to improve your cultivation honestly.

Seeing that it was getting late, Shen Moce and his companions took the initiative to go to the Nanyan Chamber of Commerce to fulfill their promise.

Mu Hanyan met Che Xiang and told him to entertain the masters well, then took Hua Yue and others to the restaurant. Originally, she arranged a banquet for Shen Mo Ce and others, but they had just learned the Xinghuan Qianji Jue and were not willing to waste time on eating and drinking.

Han Yun'er had just witnessed Mu Hanyan's miraculous astrology skills, and especially when she saw that several famous astrology masters in the capital were respectful to her sworn brother, she was filled with admiration. She chattered about what had just happened all the way, and her little face turned red with excitement.

"Yun'er, we can just talk about what happened just now among ourselves, don't spread it outside." Mu Hanyan said.

"Why? If others knew that Brother Hanyan is so powerful, I wonder how surprised they would be. Soon you will be the best fortune teller in the capital, and you will make so much money that you won't be able to count it." Han Yun'er looked at Mu Hanyan in confusion. When she talked about making money, her eyes were full of golden stars.

I didn't realize that this little girl is such a money-grubber.

Mu Hanyan was about to explain when Han Yuner patted her head and said in sudden realization, "I understand. Brother Hanyan is afraid of hurting the reputation of those old guys. They are unwilling to contribute to the Chamber of Commerce, right?"

"I'm glad to understand." Mu Hanyan patted Han Yun'er's little head with satisfaction, as she knew she had some understanding despite her young age.

In fact, there is another reason besides this. Mo Yanlin's talent is too good, too amazing, but there is something wrong with his brain. Sometimes he is clear-headed and sometimes confused. If the matter gets out, it is very likely that someone will do something bad to him.

Next year will be the ranking competition among the eight great families. For the sake of family interests, anything can happen. She doesn't want to harm Mo Yanlin.

Mu Hanyan could think of this, so naturally Shen Moce and the others could also think of it. Even if they were convinced by Mu Hanyan and did not think it was shameful to lose to him, and did not mind telling others about it, in order to keep the secret of the Mo family, they would definitely not talk about what happened today.

Otherwise, if they ruined the Mo family's plans and angered Mo Qingkuang, they would not be able to bear it.

As they were talking, they had already arrived at Yingfeng Tower. It was said to be the finest restaurant in the capital, frequented by royalty, prominent families, and wealthy individuals. It was said that a single meal cost thousands, or even tens of thousands, of taels of silver. Mu Hanyan and Ye Lanxun had eaten at several restaurants before, but had never been to this one.

Of course, Master Mu had invited everyone to dinner and had promised to treat them to the best, so he wouldn't take such a small amount of money seriously. It just so happened that I had never been to this restaurant before, so I might as well come and try it.

"Dear guests, please come in." As soon as the servant at the door saw Mu Hanyan and the others, he came forward to greet them.

Although his attitude was quite enthusiastic, his eyes were clearly filled with disdain. He had seen many wealthy guests on a daily basis, so when he saw Mu Hanyan and the others dressed in ordinary clothes, he didn't take them seriously. However, they were guests, so even if he didn't take them seriously, he didn't dare to show it too obviously, let alone kick them out.

Mu Hanyan also noticed the servant's contempt, but didn't take it seriously. In her two lives, she had seen many people who looked down on others, and she didn't want to waste her energy and experience with such a person. Generally speaking, the final outcome of such a person would not be good.

After entering the restaurant, Mu Hanyan discovered that it had two floors. The hall on the lower floor was decorated in a quiet and elegant style. The diners were all talking in low voices. While eating, they listened to the sound of stringed instruments coming from behind, and recited poems to the rhythm. Although it was a bit pretentious, it also added a bit of elegance.

"The best private room, lead the way." Mu Dawanku brought them here to eat and drink because someone donated one million taels of silver. Wouldn't it be a shame to not enjoy the one million?

"Sir, elegant seats require additional money, the better the better, the more expensive it is." The servant reminded him with a look of contempt, thinking in his heart: I don't know where this local rich man came from, how dare he come to the capital to pretend to be rich?

"Just lead the way when I tell you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense?" Jiang Yuzhe glared at me, and a dandy air rose up in his body.

If he hadn't spoken, Mu Hanyan would have almost forgotten that this guy was also a playboy among playboys.

"Gentlemen, follow me." The servant was glared at by Jiang Yuzhe, feeling very unhappy, but he didn't dare to talk back. He led the others towards the private room, secretly cursing in his heart: "A bunch of country bumpkins, do you know how much the best private room costs? You are showing off so much that you even came to the capital. If you can't pay the bill later, you will cry."
