"After I returned to Beijing, I offended many young men from aristocratic families and accidentally earned the reputation of being the capital's number one playboy. Some people said that I was causing trouble and making enemies everywhere, ruining the clan's affairs, and they were going to punish me. I'm waiting to be punished. I'd better accompany you for a drink another day." Mu Hanyan said with an embarrassed look on her face.
"Bullshit, bullshit, that's all nonsense." The old drunkard flew into a rage upon hearing this. "We cultivators travel the world with swords, how can we not have a bit of blood and fighting spirit? A few useless children from aristocratic families, we can just deal with them, it's not a big deal, why should we punish them? Who said that? It's complete bullshit! Call him out, I'll give him two slaps in the face."
Everyone subconsciously looked towards the Grand Elder. Mu Dawanku had said something like this before, but he was just pretending to be stupid and it could only be considered a joke. However, when it came out of the mouth of the He family's ancestor, it might not be a joke anymore.
"Ahem, Han Yan is naughty by nature and causes trouble everywhere. When Senior He first came here, didn't he also want to find him to question him?" The Supreme Elder said to He Changzai with an embarrassed look on his face.
"Really? Didn't I say I was here to find him and ask for an explanation? Why don't I remember?" The old drunk rolled his eyes, seeming a little confused.
"Senior He didn't say it explicitly, he just said that his great-grandson was bullied by Mu Hanyan, and he came here today to seek justice for him." The Supreme Elder said with a frown.
Even a fool would know what He Changzai was talking about when he came to the Mu family. How could he forget it so quickly? He was clearly denying it.
"Oh, I think I said that. I must be drunk and talking nonsense." The old drunk rubbed his red nose and said to himself.
"What?" The Supreme Elder almost suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.
Drunk? You've been a Saint-level master for nearly a hundred years. How could you get drunk so easily?
"Yes, that's right, I'm drunk." To prove that he was really drunk, the old drunkard staggered a few times and said in a "drunken" manner, "My great-grandson is uneducated and has taken advantage of his family's influence to do evil. Fortunately, your Mu Hanyan talked him through reason and made him much more sensible. So I came here today to thank him. If he said anything unpleasant while drunk, please don't take it to heart."
Uh... The Supreme Elder looked at He Changzai who looked drunk, and suddenly felt that he was not drunk, but he was the one who was drunk.
Obviously, He Changzai was speaking up for Mu Hanyan, but because of his status, it was inconvenient for him to directly interfere in the Mu family's affairs, so he came up with this excuse.
But you are the ancestor of one of the eight great families after all, a sword master who became famous throughout the world a hundred years ago. Can you please be more responsible when you speak?
I'm drunk. Just because I'm drunk, does that mean all the previous words are just bullshit?
At first I thought Mu Hanyan was incredibly shameless, but now I realize that there are people who are even more shameless than him.
I had thought that once He Changyi arrived, I could legitimately question Mu Hanyan, but I hadn't expected this He family patriarch to be so shameless, even throwing his skin away to stand up for Mu Hanyan. How could the Grand Elder be willing to accept this? He subconsciously looked towards He Qingwei.
Although He Chang changed his words shamelessly, it was obvious that the little fat guy hated Mu Hanyan to the extreme. As long as he insisted that Mu Hanyan would not give in, He Chang would have to save some face in front of his juniors.
"The ancestor was right. I used to be naughty. Thanks to Brother Hanyan's teachings, I finally realized my mistake and turned back. I followed the ancestor here today to express my gratitude to Brother Hanyan." What the Supreme Elder never expected was that the little fat man's eyes rolled around, and while speaking, he respectfully bowed to Mu Hanyan, tears of gratitude welling up in his eyes.
He was not a fool. When he saw this situation, he knew that the ancestor and Mu Hanyan had a very good relationship. It seemed that even the ancestor's strength had been improved due to Mu Hanyan's credit.
If I still insist on picking on Mu Hanyan, wouldn't that be intentionally causing trouble for the ancestor?
After all, he is a child of an aristocratic family. If He Qingwei doesn't even have the ability to adapt to the situation, he might as well just run into a wall and die.
Seeing He Qingwei's genuine feelings, the Supreme Elder suddenly felt the urge to slap the fat boy to death. However, the old drunkard was very fond of his own fat boy. Well, not bad, although he is fat, but he has a very good brain. The old drunkard gave the fat boy an appreciative look, and the fat boy puffed out his chest in joy.
"You didn't seem to say that just now." The Supreme Elder suppressed his anger and said to He Qingwei.
"Oh, I'm drunk too." The little fat man tilted his body and began to shake.
Shameless, so shameless! Is this really the He family, one of the eight great families in the capital? The old ones are shameless, and the young ones are also so shameless. The Supreme Elder was so angry that his whole body was shaking, and he was shaking like an old drunkard.
Now that things have come to this, it is obviously impossible for him to use the previous excuse to make things difficult for Mu Hanyan. He finally found the opportunity, but failed at the last moment. The Supreme Elder is really unwilling to accept this.
"Grand Elder, Master of the Family, the ancestor of the Mo Family and the Master of the Zhang Family are outside the door requesting to see you." Just when the Grand Elder was secretly annoyed, the guard came in again to report.
"Ancestor of the Mo family, which ancestor of the Mo family?" The Supreme Elder was slightly stunned and did not react for a moment to who he was talking about.
"It's Senior Mo Qingkuang." The guard replied.
"What? Senior Mo has returned to the capital. Please come and see him." The Supreme Elder was cheered up when he heard that the ancestor of the Mo family wanted to see him, and he spoke loudly.
He heard from the third elder that among all the children of the aristocratic families in the capital, the one with the deepest hatred for Mu Hanyan was Mo Yanhong of the Mo family. Was there any other possibility for the ancestor of the Mo family to come in person other than to seek justice for Mo Yanhong?
This is the ancestor of the Mo family. When it comes to reputation, his reputation is much more famous than He Changzai. When he came to Mu Hanyan to demand an explanation, even He Changzai couldn't protect him.
As for the Zhang family's Patriarch, perhaps he had come to support the Mo family's patriarch at their invitation. Given the Zhang family's status, the Grand Elder didn't take it seriously, and didn't bother to think about it too much.
Soon, Mo Qingkuang and Zhang Moyang came quickly accompanied by guards.
"Junior greets Senior Mo." The Supreme Elder, Mu Beichen and others stepped forward, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.
"No need to be so polite." Mo Qingkuang said politely.
Seeing that Mo Qingkuang was so polite, and had none of the arrogance as the legend said, everyone in the Mu family felt flattered.
"Senior Mo, are you here today also for our Mu family's good-for-nothing young man, Mu Hanyan?" The Supreme Elder asked impatiently.
