"Forget it, forget it. You are not guilty of ignorance. Don't be so reckless next time." The Supreme Elder still wore a high hat of magnanimity on his head. Of course, he couldn't contradict himself. He waved his hand and said calmly.
"I will keep the teachings of the Supreme Elder in mind and take him as an example in the future. I will think twice before doing anything." Mu Hanyan said respectfully.
"Okay, okay." Seeing Mu Hanyan's respectful look, the Supreme Elder inexplicably felt that this child was teachable.
"Well, it's getting late, so I won't disturb the Grand Elder anymore. I'll take my leave first." Mu Hanyan bowed and was about to retreat.
"Go...wait." The Supreme Elder had heard such words too many times. People who came to visit him always said this before leaving, so he habitually waved his hand and was about to say go. However, he realized that something was wrong after saying only half of it. He came here to question the culprit, so why would he just let him go like that? So he quickly changed his words.
"puff……"
"Puff..." Seeing that the Grand Elder was almost fooled by Mu Hanyan, a burst of uncontrollable laughter was heard again from the surroundings.
The Supreme Elder had a frown on his forehead: What a cunning boy, I almost got fooled by him again.
It was obvious that I came here to call for an explanation, not for him to pay me a visit. Why did he say he would leave without disturbing me? Wasn't that just digging a hole for him to fall into?
Damn it! How damned! The Supreme Elder’s heart, which had finally calmed down a bit, was once again surging with rage.
"I wonder if the Grand Elder has any other instructions?" Mu Hanyan looked at the Grand Elder calmly.
She didn't expect to get away with it this way, she just wanted to lighten the atmosphere and dissipate the momentum of the Supreme Elder and the Third Elder.
Mu Hanyan's cunning tactic of turning the tables worked. As the saying goes, the first push is strong, the second weakens, and the third is exhausted. When the Supreme Elder came over, he had made up his mind to yell at Mu Hanyan in public as soon as he saw him, and not even give him a chance to defend himself. However, after Mu Hanyan caused such a farce, he felt that his momentum was greatly reduced, and he didn't know how to say the words he had prepared to accuse him.
"Mu Hanyan, do you still want to pretend to be crazy and stupid to get away with it? Hand over the token honestly, and maybe the Grand Elder will give you a way out for the sake of the patriarch!" The third elder saw that the Grand Elder was hesitating for a long time, and knew that he had been in seclusion for many years, and his wit and adaptability were far from comparable to that of a playboy like Mu Hanyan. He hurriedly stepped forward, pointed at Mu Hanyan and said loudly.
The Third Elder had a stern and majestic look on his face at this moment. If it were any other day, the Mu family members around him would have been silent in awe, but after Mu Hanyan's disturbance just now, the atmosphere became a little subtle. Many people still had a faint smile in their eyes, and it was impossible to be solemn at all.
"Third Elder, you want my token? If you wanted it, you should have said it earlier. This token is hard to come by, but as long as you ask, I will give it to you. Why bother asking so many people for help? Third Elder, you underestimate me, Mu Hanyan." Mu Hanyan said disapprovingly, and threw a token to the third elder.
The third elder was confused again by Mu Hanyan's words and subconsciously took the token.
"Okay, Third Elder, I'll give it to you. Why bother asking so many people to intercede for a token? In the future, just tell me about this kind of thing. We are all family, there is no need to be so distant. Also, you should just keep this kind of thing to yourself. If you make such a big fuss about it, it will be bad for the Third Elder's reputation if it gets out. Don't do this again in the future." Mu Hanyan added.
"Mu Hanyan, what are you talking about?" The third elder was holding the token that was obviously not the token of the Supreme Elder, and had no idea what Mu Hanyan was talking about.
"It's this token, the Night Fragrance Token from Zui Xiang Lou. I heard that Zui Xiang Lou closes at three o'clock in the morning, and a friend was worried that I might go there to have fun in the middle of the night and not be able to open the door, so he kindly gave me this Night Fragrance Token. However, I, Mu Hanyan, have always been very chaste, so this token is definitely not useful to me. Since the Third Elder wants it, I'll give it to you.
"Oh, oh, I'm sorry, Third Elder. Since you want the Night Fragrance Card, you must be trying to hide it from others. I shouldn't have said it, but it doesn't matter. We all understand. The Third Elder is still strong and healthy. If the news gets out, we, the younger generation, should be happy for him. There's no need to be so embarrassed." Mu Hanyan said with an "I understand" expression and blinked at the Third Elder.
"Zui...Zuixianglou!" The third elder's relatively fair old face turned red in an instant.
As a native of the capital, although the Third Elder has always been strict with himself, he also knows where Zui Xiang Lou is.
Seeing Mu Hanyan's expression of "I understand", the Third Elder wanted to kill her. He was going to throw dirty water on Mu Hanyan, but before he could even pick up the basin, Mu Hanyan splashed dirty water on him.
All around, the Mu family members bit their lips tightly, their facial muscles twitching constantly. They wanted to laugh but were too embarrassed to laugh out loud.
Mu Zexian and the other young dandy even squatted on the ground, holding their stomachs, their faces turning purple. Although they had never been to Zui Xiang Lou, they knew that there was no such thing as a Ye Xiang brand there. Mu Hanyan was clearly making fun of the Third Elder.
Huayue and the others were at a loss for words. It was clearly a token for leaving Blackrock City at night, so how did it become a night fragrance token? It seemed like the eldest young master was deliberately trying to piss them off to death.
I’m going to kill him, I’m going to kill him! The Third Elder clenched his fists tightly, and the token was instantly squeezed into a discus by him, and a voice roared angrily in his heart.
However, the third elder did not take action in the end and forced himself to suppress his anger.
"Mu Hanyan, don't think you can get away with it like this. Hand over the Supreme Elder's token quickly, otherwise don't blame me for being merciless." The third elder took a deep breath and said to Mu Hanyan in a stern voice.
All the Mu clan members around put away their smiles and their expressions became solemn again.
The intentions of the Supreme Elder and the Third Elder were obvious. Even if Mu Hanyan took the initiative and avoided their thundering attack, she still had to face it.
The Supreme Elder and the Third Elder left no room for maneuver, obviously they were fully confident. How should Mu Hanyan respond?
"Third Elder, are you saying that the Grand Elder's token is in my possession?" Mu Hanyan's expression suddenly turned cold. "I respect you as my elder and don't want to embarrass you, but if you slander me and accuse me of innocence in front of everyone in this hall, don't blame me for turning my back on you."
"Mu Hanyan, I don't think you'll cry until you see the coffin. Search!" The Third Elder had finally reacted, knowing he was no match for Mu Hanyan in a verbal battle, and he gave the order directly to the guards. He thought to himself, "Don't think you can get away with your clever words and deceitful tactics. Once we find the token and catch you red-handed, we'll see what you have to say."
