"Fourth uncle, you're really back." Seeing Mu Ziqing jumping out of the carriage, all the young people in the Mu family were surprised.
Although Mu Ziqing is the elder, he is not much older than them. In addition, he has a gentle personality and does not have the airs of an elder. He is very popular among the younger generations.
"I'm back. I'm sorry for making you worry." Mu Ziqing also greeted them and smiled bitterly in his heart.
He also didn't expect that the first and second elders would be so impatient to attack Mu Hanyan. They didn't even ask a single question about the journey and were eager to punish her according to the family rules.
Unfortunately, he woke up a little late. As soon as he opened his eyes, he heard Mu Hanyan's questioning of the second elder. He had hoped that the two elders would give up and stop pestering, but the first elder was relentless. He was afraid that things would get worse, so he quickly showed up to testify for Mu Hanyan.
"Ziqing!" The Great Elder was obviously stunned when he saw Mu Ziqing.
Unlike the younger generations of the Mu family, he was far more surprised than delighted to see Mu Ziqing. He believed that the Second Elder's information was correct, and he understood the chasm between sword masters and swordsmen better than the younger generations. So he never dreamed that Mu Hanyan would actually rescue Mu Ziqing from Yan Yuchu's clutches.
The second elder and the third elder had the same expression, and were so surprised that they were speechless.
"Master Patriarch, Han Yan really did not lie. I can testify for him." Mu Ziqing emphasized again.
"Oh, since Ziqing is a witness, let's forget about it. No one should pursue it anymore. Let's all go our separate ways." The Great Elder finally came to his senses and waved his hand.
Although he really wanted to take this opportunity to teach Mu Hanyan a lesson and severely undermine Mu Ruian's prestige, Mu Ziqing had already escaped danger and personally testified for him, so it would be inappropriate to embarrass her.
What? They're disbanding just like that? Almost all the Mu family members were stunned.
In the past, no matter who went out on a mission, regardless of success or failure, as long as he did not commit any major mistakes, when he returned, several elders would hold a banquet to welcome him back, and then reward him according to his merits. Even if he did not accomplish anything, he would still be given some comfort.
But this time, are we just going to let everyone go like this?
Although he knew that the Second Elder had no good intentions in sending Mu Hanyan to lead the team to Xiushui City, and he also knew why the First and Second Elders were so aggressive before, but no matter what, Mu Hanyan's ability to help Mu Ziqing return safely was a great achievement, and it could not be just ignored.
Although they all had no good feelings towards Mu Siyi, the big playboy who bullied men and women and brought shame to the family, they still felt indignant for him when they saw the two elders being so unfair to him.
However, except for Mu Hanyan, the outlier in the Mu family, everyone else has strict family education. Even if there are some complaints in their hearts, no one dares to say it out loud.
"Grand Elder, I was trapped in Xiushui City this time. Thanks to Han Yan's rescue, I was able to escape safely. According to the rules of our Mu family, we should reward you according to your merits." They didn't dare to say it, but Mu Ziqing dared to say it. After all, his status was a generation higher.
"He is not the only one who went to Xiushui City, and he is not the only one who should be rewarded based on his merits." The Great Elder did not want to give Mu Hanyan the opportunity to show off, so he wanted to brush the matter off with a few words. Unexpectedly, Mu Ziqing insisted on bringing up the matter, so he said unhappily.
"It's all thanks to Brother Han Yan that we were able to bring Fourth Uncle back this time. It has nothing to do with us. If it weren't for Brother Han Yan, we might not even be able to go to Xiushui City, and even if we did, we wouldn't be able to come back." Seeing Mu Ziqing speak, Mu Yuying also spoke boldly.
