"Stop, I'm calling for help..." Aunt Xiu was shocked and frightened, and opened her mouth to shout.
"Behave yourself." The leading thug covered Aunt Xiu's mouth with his hand and cursed viciously.
Aunt Xiu struggled hard, but her body was too thin and she had no skills, so she couldn't break free no matter what she did. She was so anxious that tears streamed down her face.
"Stop!" Just when Aunt Xiu was filled with despair, Mu Hanyan finally showed up.
Seeing Mu Hanyan suddenly appear, the thugs all showed their vigilance. The reason they dared to act was because they knew there was no one around, but they didn't expect that the mantis stalks the cicada while the oriole is behind. After all, the thief is guilty, so it is inevitable to panic at this time.
However, after seeing who was coming, they felt relieved.
Mu Hanyan's figure is thinner than that of the average man, and he is not very old. In addition, he has a handsome appearance and often has a harmless smile on his face. As long as he doesn't frown, it is difficult for people to feel awe towards him.
There are many hidden talents in the capital. Since these people dare to do evil in the capital, they must have some strength and do not take Mu Hanyan seriously.
"Who are you?" the leading thug asked contemptuously.
"A busybody." Mu Hanyan smiled and said.
"Minding other people's business? Just like that? Look at your tiny arms and legs. I'm afraid they'll be blown away by a gust of wind, hehe... hehe." The thug looked Mu Hanyan up and down, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world. If he was afraid of disturbing the neighbors and ruining their plans to make money, he wanted to laugh out loud.
"Little brother, listen to my advice. Go home and suckle your mother's milk. Come back and meddle in other people's business when you grow up. Be obedient." Another thug also said with a smile.
Mu Hanyan shook her head. It was not a good thing to be too delicate. She had no deterrent power at all.
"You little bastard, this is not your place to meddle in other people's business. Get out of here quietly, otherwise..." the leading thug threatened.
"What else?" Mu Hanyan was not interested in talking nonsense with them. Her face darkened and she said coldly.
"Otherwise, if you end up with broken arms and legs, don't blame us for being ruthless," the thug said cruelly. He was afraid of the long night and had no interest in arguing with Mu Hanyan any longer.
"Okay, I really want to try what it feels like to have broken arms and legs." Mu Hanyan smiled contemptuously and walked towards the few people.
"Go ahead, kill him for me." The leading thug was provoked by Mu Hanyan's contemptuous look and said harshly.
As soon as the words fell, the men drew their swords and surrounded Mu Hanyan.
Seeing the gleaming sword blade, Mu Hanyan felt strangely excited. As her fame in the capital rose, her opportunities to take action became fewer and fewer. Although Miss Mu never considered herself violent, she couldn't help but feel the urge to use her skills when she hadn't had the chance.
These people are all very strong. In addition to a few seventh-level swordsmen, the leading thug is actually a ninth-level swordsman. If they join forces to attack, they will be more or less a threat. They are perfect for training.
Mu Hanyan took a deep breath and prepared to take action.
"I, Zhao Yifeng, will not harm nameless people with my sword. You little bastard, tell me your name." A thug pointed his sword at Mu Hanyan and said arrogantly.
"Mu family, Mu Hanyan." Mu Hanyan said subconsciously.
As soon as the words came out of her mouth, Mu Hanyan regretted it so much that she wanted to slap herself in the face.
There was dead silence all around, even the air became icy cold, as if winter had come.
"Mu... Mu... Are you Mu Hanyan?" The leading thug trembled all over, his hands went limp, and his sword fell to the ground with a clang. Then, without waiting for Mu Hanyan to answer, he ran out. He had not run three meters away when he hit the wall with a bang. He got up dizzy and continued to run out, stumbling.
The other thugs were so frightened that their faces turned pale, they threw away their swords and ran away.
In just a blink of an eye, the thugs who had been showing off their power and not taking Mu Hanyan seriously just now disappeared without a trace.
Mu Hanyan looked bitter and slapped her forehead hard: I finally found an opportunity to take action, but it’s gone again!
The most dissolute playboy in the capital city is indeed very intimidating.
"Aunt Xiu, are you okay?" Mu Hanyan took two steps forward, supported the frightened Aunt Xiu, and asked with concern.
"No...it's okay." Aunt Xiu took a deep breath and calmed down a lot.
"Sir, why are you here?" Aunt Xiu asked curiously.
"If I hadn't been here, you would have been in trouble just now." Mu Hanyan smiled and said, "I was also at the Nanyan Chamber of Commerce just now. I saw you buy a pulse cleansing pill and was worried that it would fall into the eyes of Xiao Xiao's followers, so I followed you. As a result, my guess turned out to be correct."
"I'm sorry to have made you worry, sir." Aunt Xiu said embarrassedly.
"By the way, who did you buy that pill for?" Mu Hanyan said, glancing into the courtyard. She hadn't wanted to ask more, but since she was here, she decided to ask a few more questions.
"This... let's leave here first. I'll tell the master later." Aunt Xiu looked at the sky and said to Mu Hanyan nervously.
"If it's inconvenient to say it, then don't say it. I'm just asking casually." Mu Hanyan looked at her and guessed that she had something to hide, so she said with sympathy.
"No, sir, you misunderstood. I don't want to hide it, but there are some things I don't want him to know." Aunt Xiu thought Mu Hanyan was angry and explained anxiously.
Hearing her say this, Mu Hanyan became even more curious and followed her out of the alley.
"Actually, besides Yun'er, I also have a son." Aunt Xiu was worried that Mu Hanyan would be unhappy, so she couldn't wait to say it as soon as she left the alley.
"Oh, that meridian cleansing pill was bought for him. Why haven't I heard that you have a son before?" Mu Hanyan asked puzzledly.
"This is a long story. My husband's family was once a prominent family, but decades ago, they fell into poverty and were hunted by their enemies, so they ended up in the capital.
My husband was injured when he was chased by his enemies when he was young, and his health is not very good. Not long after I gave birth to Yun'er, his injury relapsed. In order to treat his injuries, our family owed a large sum of money, but in the end the disease could not be cured.
After my husband passed away, I sold myself as a slave in the Mu Mansion to pay off my debts. You know, there is a hierarchy in our Holy Court Continent. If I sell myself as a slave, my son will never have a chance to make a name for himself in his life.
He is from a famous family and has a deep blood feud. I was afraid of delaying his future, so I have cut off all ties with my husband's family since I went to the Mu Mansion. I would rather bear the stigma of abandoning my family than let him know that I sold myself into slavery.
Fortunately, the eldest son and his wife knew my family's financial situation and had provided me with a lot of support over the years. I would quietly return from time to time and leave some money for him. He also worked hard to learn from masters everywhere and now has reached the level of a seventh-level swordsman.
"Longyan College's general election will be held soon. His cultivation is still a little lacking, so I used my savings to buy this meridian cleansing pill. I hope his strength can be further improved. If he is selected by Longyan College, it will be worthy of his father's dying wish." Aunt Xiu said quietly, her face full of pride and happiness when she mentioned her son.
