"What with him?" Mu Hanyan widened her eyes.
"Do you think your grandfather is blind? Or that he was never young?" Mu Beichen said unhappily, then put on a nostalgic and complacent expression, "Back then, your grandfather was also a handsome and suave man, and the love between him and your grandmother was earth-shattering..."
Mu Beichen suddenly turned around and saw that Mu Hanyan had not even eaten yet. She held her chin with her hands, looking at him with bright eyes, as if listening attentively. He came to his senses and realized that it seemed a little wrong for her to sing about her love in front of the younger generation like this.
"Ahem, okay, let's talk about you and that Ye Lanxuan." Mu Beichen coughed dryly in embarrassment.
"He and I are just as my grandfather thought. As for his identity, I don't care. No matter what his identity is, I care about him as a person." Mu Hanyan said frankly.
"Okay, I believe in your judgment." Mu Beichen smiled. "Well, since you said so, I won't ask anymore."
Mu Hanyan returned a bright smile and nodded.
…
After dinner, Mu Hanyan slowly walked back to her own courtyard. When she returned, she saw Zirong and the others had also finished their meal and were resting in the courtyard.
"Come on, follow me out." Mu Hanyan waved her hand.
"Where are you going? Are you bullying people?" Jiang Yuzhe asked while picking his teeth.
"No, get things done." Mu Hanyan rolled her eyes at Jiang Yuzhe. This guy really acted like a lackey.
"Okay, let's go for a walk and help digest the food." Jiang Yuzhe nodded.
So Mu Hanyan took Hua Yue and others to the Zhang family, ready to ask where the ancient ruins were.
Before leaving the house, he met Mu Zexian and the other little playboy who were coming towards him.
"Hello, Brother Hanyan."
"Hello, Brother Hanyan." Upon seeing Mu Hanyan, Mu Zexian and the others stepped forward to pay their respects, their eyes filled with admiration. Although Mu Hanyan hadn't explained the situation with Kuang Guangyi, they knew they had been the cause of the trouble. They had felt guilty and uneasy at the time, but Mu Hanyan had comforted them. This had moved them, and it had deepened their faith and admiration for Mu Hanyan.
"Instead of practicing well, where are you planning to go and fool around?" Mu Hanyan asked jokingly when she saw how happy they were.
Mu Zexian and others have been performing well recently. They have been practicing hard every day and have not gone out to cause trouble, which makes Mu Hanyan very pleased.
"In a few days it will be time to collect our quotas. We are all waiting impatiently and have no time to focus on cultivation." Mu Zexian said to Mu Hanyan respectfully and uneasily.
"Then just relax for a while." Mu Hanyan didn't want to push them too hard. The way of cultivation was about relaxation and tension, and overdoing it was not a good thing.
Seeing that Mu Hanyan was not angry, Mu Zexian and others breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brother Hanyan, wherever you are going, we will go with you." Mu Zeran said excitedly to Mu Hanyan. It seemed that it was a great honor for them, a group of little playboys, to be able to follow behind the great playboy Mu.
"I'm going to meet a friend. If you want to go, come with me." Mu Hanyan said.
She didn't dislike these young playboys. She seemed to see her former self in them. Although the elders of the clan had given up on them, Mu Hanyan didn't want them to fall into depravity. As long as there was a chance, she still wanted to help him.
"Okay, okay, then let's set off now." Mu Zexian and others were ecstatic and happily followed Mu Hanyan and walked out of the mansion.
No one noticed that in the distance behind them, the Supreme Elder and the Third Elder were watching their departing figures with resentment in their eyes.
"Grand Elder, I have failed to teach well. I hope you will punish me." After a long time, the Grand Elder withdrew his gaze and said to the Grand Elder in fear and trepidation.
"You are talking about Chengyang. Well, he was young and ignorant and was bewitched by evil spirits. You can't blame it all on you. Since he has been punished, let's just let the matter go." The Supreme Elder waved his hand and said.
After returning home that day, he recalled Mu Chengyang's previous actions and felt more and more that something was wrong. Then, when he heard about the punishment the Third Elder had given Mu Chengyang, he became even more convinced.
No matter how hard you try, you still can't guard against a thief in your own family. It's impossible for the Supreme Elder not to be angry, but now that things have come to this, what good can he do if he's angry?
Not only was he fooled around by Mu Hanyan, but he was also severely blackmailed in the end. He and the Third Elder lost all their face and prestige. If he turned against the Third Elder again at this time, not to mention outsiders, even his own disciples would laugh at him.
According to his personality, even if he didn't execute Mu Chengyang on the spot, he would have to destroy his cultivation and expel him from the family. But now everyone knows that he and the Third Elder are in cahoots. If he did that, wouldn't it be like slapping himself in the face?
After much thought, the Grand Elder gave up the idea. The Third Elder had already broken Mu Chengyang's hands and feet, which was both a punishment and an explanation to him. The Grand Elder didn't want to cause any more trouble.
"Thank you for your magnanimity, Grand Elder. I will strictly discipline the next generation and will never let you down." The third elder breathed a sigh of relief.
"By the way, hasn't Mu Hanyan been back for a short time? I see why the disciples from each family are so respectful to him and follow his lead." The Supreme Elder didn't want to think too much about Mu Chengyang. He felt upset when he thought about it, so he changed the subject and asked.
He wanted to help Mu Chengxuan become the young master and then take over the position of head of the family in the future, but it would be difficult for him to do it alone. Without the support of the other branches of the clan, even if Mu Chengxuan relied on his support to become the young master, it would not be legitimate and would not be good for his reputation.
Therefore, when he saw Mu Zexian and others being so close to Mu Hanyan, he felt a little unhappy.
"The Grand Elder is referring to Zexian and the others, right? They are all good-for-nothing dandies from their respective families. They have caused trouble for the clan since they were young. Mu Hanyan was also notorious when he was in Black Stone City. He was known as the number one dandy in Black Stone City. I don't know how many troubles he caused. If it weren't for Mu Ruian's support, I don't know how many times he would have died.
It hasn't been long since he came back, but he's already causing trouble everywhere. Now he's known as the number one playboy in the capital. He and Mu Zexian and other good-for-nothings are naturally in cahoots with each other.
"When they get into big trouble, I wonder how Mu Beichen will end up?" The Third Elder knew what the Supreme Elder was worried about, but he himself didn't care and said with a sneer.
"What kind of trouble has he gotten himself into?" Upon hearing this, the Great Elder asked, a thought flashing through his mind. A few calculations flashed through his mind. But... the Grand Elder had no idea what was happening; his brain wasn't working very well.
