"I don't want to say thank you. I want to say that you look much better when you smile. It's not good to have a stern face all day long." Mu Hanyan said earnestly, but the tenderness in her eyes could not be concealed.
“Uh…” Fen Qianji was stunned.
"Also, if you have anything to say, it's better to say it out loud. Don't keep it in your heart. It's even worse to be repressed." Mu Hanyan continued with a smile in her eyes.
In fact, she had wanted to say this to Fen Qianji many times in her previous life, but she never found the chance. Now that she wanted to say it today, she might as well say it all at once.
I don’t know if his injury has become more serious, but cold sweat rolled down Fen Qianji’s forehead like a waterfall. He suddenly turned around and strode out, looking like he was about to flee.
However, his habitually tense face gradually relaxed into a cheerful smile.
Behind him, Hua Yue and others smiled knowingly as they watched him flee in panic.
Those words before not only untied Mu Hanyan's last knot in her heart, but also made them no longer guard against Fen Qianji.
"Huayue, don't just laugh. Actually, you should also stop keeping a straight face and pretending to be cool. Don't keep things in your heart if you have anything to say. It's not good to be repressed." Mu Hanyan glanced at Huayue and spoke earnestly before going into the house.
"Oh, what does it have to do with me?" Hua Yue, who was innocently caught in the crossfire, touched his head with a confused look on his face.
Although Gu Huangji was defeated and fled, he did not dare to underestimate this old fox Mu Hanyan, for fear that he would strike back again. So he took Hua Yue and others and the sleeping Ye Yanran, and quickly left the Yan family's villa and returned to the Mu family.
Although the Mu family didn't have any particularly powerful masters at the moment, they were still numerous and powerful. Unless Gu Huangji risked everything to tear open the barrier, with his strength suppressed to the ninth level of Sword Master, even if he launched a surprise attack, he would definitely not gain any advantage. He had gone through countless hardships to reach the Holy Court, and he would never take any risks unless he was absolutely sure.
Mu Hanyan understood this very clearly.
Thinking that she would have to leave the capital for Luoan City tomorrow and would not even have the chance to spend more time with her parents, Mu Hanyan was reluctant to leave. However, seeing that it was already late at night, she did not want to disturb them any longer. After washing up, she took a few qi-replenishing pills and went back to the house to rest.
No words were spoken that night.
At dawn, Yan Yi brought a group of Yan family members and those from aristocratic families who were affiliated with the Yan family to the Mu family to reunite. The Zhang family members also arrived at the same time.
"Dad, Mom, I'm leaving. Take good care of yourselves." After Mu Hanyan said goodbye to the uncles and aunts who were injured and recuperating at home, she said to her parents reluctantly.
Dozens of Mu family members stood behind her, all with solemn expressions, and perhaps even a bit of tragic grandeur as they were about to go to the battlefield.
"Don't worry about us, just be careful. Those strange beasts may not be as powerful as the ones that attacked the capital, but since they can make Luoan City ask for help one after another, they must not be weak either. You must not be careless and underestimate the enemy." Yue Fanling reminded him tirelessly.
In fact, Mu Hanyan had said these words more than once when she got up and greeted her parents and said goodbye, but she couldn't help but say it again now.
"Okay, I'll be careful." Mu Hanyan didn't seem impatient at all. She threw herself into her mother's arms and spoke softly, her voice a little choked.
Even though she had grown up, and even her strength impressed her father, in her mother's eyes, she was still just a little girl who had just come of age. The love and warmth that came from her heart warmed her heart, and she was reluctant to let go.
Fortunately, she has changed back into women's clothes, otherwise she would not be able to enjoy the warmth between mother and daughter.
"Okay, Han Yan is stronger than us, so there's no need for you to worry about her. Let's go quickly. Don't forget, the future of the Mu family is in your hands." The father said directly. Looking at his expression, it seemed that he still treated her as his son as before.
However, Mu Hanyan could still see deep concern and reluctance in his eyes.
"Well, Dad, I won't let you down." Mu Hanyan looked at her father and nodded heavily.
"Take care." Mu Hanyan finally left her mother's arms, turned over and jumped onto a red charcoal cloud beast, and led everyone towards the city gate.
"Take care." Looking at Mu Hanyan's departing back, Mu Ruian waved his hands vigorously, and tears of relief had appeared on his face at some point.
As soon as she arrived at the city gate, Mu Hanyan met the younger generations of the other five major families and affiliated families led by Tan Taixuan.
Those who attended the palace banquet last night were only the elite children of major aristocratic families. The number was actually not that large, so although in the end only two major families and one small family turned to Mu Hanyan, the difference did not seem to be too big. But now, when compared again, the difference is suddenly obvious.
There were more than fifty Mu family members who went to Luoan City this time. Because the Mu family was too famous in the past, they were regarded as rivals by all the aristocratic families and became the public enemy of the aristocratic families. Therefore, no family had ever been attached to the Mu family.
The only one who, because of Mu Hanyan, had made a desperate bet, placing all their hopes for the family's rise on the Mu family's Zhang family. This time, the Zhang family had put all their efforts into the battle, with all the capable men brought by Zhang Chihua, totaling over forty people. The two families combined had almost a hundred men.
The situation of the Yan family and the He family was much better. The main family and the families dependent on them together had about 200 people each.
In the end, there were about five hundred people in total.
However, among the other five aristocratic families, the Changsun family, the Song family, and the Qu family all have large populations, and several of them are from the Anlin aristocratic families. They can be said to have a deep foundation and have been operating for many years. Their connections and reputation are not much worse than those of the Mu and Yan families, and there are many more famous families dependent on them.
This time, in the battle for the ranking of the Eight Great Families, several families revealed their long-hidden secrets. The Changsun, Song, and Ju families alone sent over a thousand young elites to Anluo. Add to that the Mo and Fang families, and the hundreds of Saint Court masters from Tan Taixuan, and the total number reached over 1,500, three times that of Mu Hanyan's team.
Amidst the dark crowd of figures, several battle flags fluttered in the wind, making the scene even more imposing.
"Mu Hanyan, so you only have so many people. Once we get to Luoan City, I'm afraid we won't even be enough to fill the teeth of the strange beasts." Seeing that the number of people on his side far exceeded that of Mu Hanyan, Tan Taixuan felt a sense of pride in his heart, and said with a loud laugh.
"Quality is more important than quantity. Haven't you heard of this? But it makes sense. Anyway, you all ran to Luoan City just to fill the teeth of the monsters. It's better to have more people so that the monsters won't starve." As the number one playboy in Black Stone City, Beijing City, and Longyan, Miss Mu would never suffer a loss in words, and she immediately retorted.
