Mu Hanyan's eyes were a little moist, and she couldn't help but think of her parents far away in Black Stone City. Although their circumstances were different, when she saw Aunt Xiu's love for her son, she felt as if she felt her parents' love for herself.
"Aunt Xiu, just one meridian cleansing pill may not be enough. I have some pills here. You can give them to him." Mu Hanyan took out the pills and selected some suitable ones for Aunt Xiu.
Since opening the storage space of the mysterious star disk, Mu Hanyan has found it much more convenient to carry things.
"Sir, how can this be possible? The eldest master and his wife have taken good care of me over the years. How can I have the nerve to ask for your elixir again?" Aunt Xiu was flattered and kept declining.
"Yun'er is my adopted sister, and his elder brother is also my brother. Aunt Xiu, please don't refuse anymore." Mu Hanyan put the pill in Aunt Xiu's hand without saying anything.
"Young Master, I can never repay your kindness in this lifetime. I will work like a slave in my next life and repay you." Aunt Xiu knew that Mu Hanyan was a man of her word. She tried to refuse several times but failed. She had no choice but to accept the pill and said to Mu Hanyan with tears in her eyes.
"Aunt Xiu, it's too polite of you to say that." Mu Hanyan said with a smile.
But as she laughed, Mu Hanyan's heart slowly sank - a vague pressure was quietly enveloping her.
If it were someone else, even if they were several levels stronger than Mu Hanyan, they might not be able to detect the existence of this pressure. However, Mu Hanyan's six senses were originally much stronger than those of swordsmen of the same level. After practicing the Divine Martial Soul Refining Awareness, his mental power increased greatly. His six senses were several times stronger than those of ordinary sword masters. He almost instinctively felt the dangerous aura in the pressure.
Although the pressure seemed extremely weak on the surface, as if it was there and not there, it came from all directions, like an airtight net, trapping her firmly in the center.
Mu Hanyan almost subconsciously wanted to run away, but under the cover of such pressure, she felt like she had nowhere to escape.
Sword Saint! Although she hadn't seen him in person yet, Mu Hanyan was certain that only a master at the level of Sword Saint could unleash such a powerful aura.
Mu Hanyan knew that she had no chance of escape if she was targeted by such a master.
Taking a deep breath, Mu Hanyan forced herself to calm down.
"Aunt Xiu, please give the pill to him first." Mu Hanyan didn't want to implicate Aunt Xiu, so she said to her calmly.
"It's getting late and he should be back. Otherwise, I'll give it to him tomorrow." Aunt Xiu didn't realize the danger was coming at all. She thought for a while and said.
"Okay, then you go back first. I still have some things to do and will be back later." Mu Hanyan nodded and said.
After watching Aunt Xiu leave, Mu Hanyan's mood completely calmed down. Without Aunt Xiu around, at least she wouldn't be restricted.
"Come out. As a master of the Sword Saint realm, don't you feel ashamed of sneaking around?" Mu Hanyan said calmly.
Since there was no way to escape, the only option was to fight with all her might. With the thought of fighting to the death in her mind, Mu Hanyan showed no fear even though she knew the opponent was a master at the level of Sword Saint.
"As expected of someone Ye Lanxun has chosen, he is indeed extraordinary." As the words fell, a sturdy young man appeared before him.
This young man, dressed in black and with his muscular physique, exuded an awe-inspiring aura with every gesture. However, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes as he looked at Mu Hanyan.
With his strength at the level of Sword Saint, if he deliberately concealed his aura, even Sword Saints of the same level would find it difficult to detect him. Mu Hanyan was only a first-level Sword Master, but she could actually sense his presence, which was beyond his expectation.
"Thank you for the compliment. If you just want to praise me, then thank you so much and you can leave. Or you don't have to leave and I'll leave." Mu Hanyan smiled calmly, with a hint of joking in her words.
When Mu Hanyan heard him mention Ye Lanxun right at the start, she knew that the person coming was no simple matter. Although she had a smile on her face, she was secretly circulating her energy, ready to strike at any time.
Facing such a master, she definitely won't have many opportunities to take action.
"Your plan is good, but unfortunately, I have to disappoint you. Originally, I just wanted to see what's so special about the person that Ye Lanxun values so much. However, after seeing him in person, I changed my mind. I would like to invite you to go back with me and stay for a few days." The young man looked at Mu Hanyan and said slowly.
"Oh, what if I don't agree?" Mu Hanyan's heart sank slightly.
Although the other party spoke very politely, Mu Hanyan had a hunch that if she really followed him, it would definitely not end well.
"Do you think you have a choice?" the young man said arrogantly.
"Maybe there is." Mu Hanyan smiled slightly, suddenly moved, and slapped the young man with one palm.
"A grain of light dares to compete with the sunlight!" Seeing that Mu Hanyan, with the cultivation level of a mere first-level swordsman, dared to take the initiative to attack the dignified Sword Saint, the young man said contemptuously and slapped him with his palm.
In an instant, the wind and clouds surged, and a giant palm shadow poured towards Mu Hanyan like a raging wave. In the face of such enormous power, Mu Hanyan's beautiful figure was as weak and helpless as a small boat in a storm.
This is the gap between a swordsman and a sword saint, a gap as huge as a chasm!
"You don't know what life and death is." Looking at Mu Hanyan's weak figure, the young man showed a contemptuous smile on his face.
However, just after he said this, the smile on his face froze slightly.
Mu Hanyan's figure flashed and disappeared from sight.
His heart also beat violently, and he felt an instinctive threat, as if death was right in front of him.
This was the first time he had felt this way since he was promoted to swordsman at the age of seventeen.
It's a bit funny to say that with the strength of a Sword Saint fighting against a first-level Sword Master, he would actually feel the threat of death. But that's the fact. In just a moment, he felt his scalp tingling and a layer of cold sweat seeped out of his vest.
His spirit was instantly concentrated to the extreme, and he slapped his palms in front of him one after another, and waves of overwhelming power rushed out.
He heard Mu Hanyan's low muffled voice in his ears. Just when he thought that Mu Hanyan was either dead or seriously injured, a delicate palm appeared out of thin air and slapped him hard in the face.
"Snap!" With a crisp sound, his face turned red, so red that blood almost dripped out. It was not because of the slap, but purely because of shame and anger.
A great sword master was actually slapped by a first-level swordsman. At this moment, he was so ashamed and angry that his brain even went blank for a moment.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. If you hadn't hit me, I wouldn't have slapped you in the face." Mu Hanyan rubbed her hands embarrassedly, looking apologetic.
Accidentally, she slapped the sword master. Even with her toes, Mu Hanyan could imagine how big the shadow in the other person's heart was.
