However, what Mu Chengxuan didn't understand was how could his grandfather and Mu Beichen's family speak for Mu Hanyan
"Chengxuan, your aptitude is good, and you are fortunate to be accepted by the elders of the Taishang. This is a great opportunity for you, but being young and famous may not be all good for you. This time, you lost to Mu Hanyan. It can be regarded as a lesson learned, gaining some knowledge, knowing what is beyond others, less arrogance, more city, and don't underestimate any opponent, it will only benefit your cultivation and not harm." The third elder said earnestly.
"Grandfather, I understand. I will devote myself to cultivation, and I will be ashamed in the future." Mu Chengxuan has the current cultivation level at a young age. Of course, he is not a dull person. He quickly understood what his grandfather meant. said respectfully.
"Okay, okay. Don't be arrogant in victory, don't be discouraged in defeat, be brave after knowing your shame, this is my grandson, Mu Fengchen." The third elder said gratifiedly.
"My lord, the Longyan College election..." Mu Chengxuan looked at his grandfather with some shame. I thought I could easily defeat Mu Hanyan, and didn't give him a chance to make his mark in the Zong family, and didn't give him a chance to enter Longyan College. He didn't expect such a result, and he didn't know what to do.
"I have my own arrangements for this matter, so you don't have to worry about it." The third elder said leisurely with confidence, "Although I don't know what secrets are hidden in the Destiny Astrolabe, the ancestor Tianlie used this to soar into the sky and turn the tide to save the world. It is an indisputable fact that the Mu family was in distress and drove the Zhao family out of the capital.
Mu Hanyan's situation is very similar to that of Tianlie's ancestors. He was also judged to be a natural waste from birth. After staying in Black Rock City for more than ten years, he actually has the strength of the sword master. If I guessed correctly, He probably obtained the Destiny Astrolabe left by the ancestors of Tianlie in the Mu family branch in Black Rock City. "
"What!" Mu Chengxuan exclaimed in surprise. He also knew some of Mu Tianlie's secrets, and he had wondered how Mu Hanyan could have achieved today's cultivation level with waste materials, but he didn't connect the two. After hearing what my grandfather said, I couldn't help being surprised.
"Other than that, are there other possibilities?" The third elder snorted coldly and said, "Back when Mu Beichen sent his descendants to Black Rock City, I guessed that he had a plan. For nearly ten thousand years, I have not been able to find the Destiny Astrolabe, and I have not paid attention to Mu Hanyan, a good-for-nothing, but I never thought that he would succeed in the end."
"This old fox is such a deep city." Mu Chengxuan cursed in a low voice.
"No matter how deep the city is, waste material is still waste material after all. Senior Tianlie got the Destiny Astrolabe back then, and it didn't take long for him to be promoted to the realm of Sword Master. Mu Hanyan got the Destiny Astrolabe, and now it's just a sword. You are just an entry-level teacher, so it can be seen that your aptitude is too poor. With your aptitude, as long as you get the destiny astrolabe of Longyan College, you will not be trampled under your feet." The third elder said disdainfully.
It's no wonder he thinks this way. For the vast majority of cultivators in this world, the higher the aptitude, the faster they can cultivate.
And when Mu Hanyan obtained the Destiny Astrolabe, he was only promoted to a sword master, but he couldn't soar like Mu Tianlie, obviously because he didn't have enough qualifications.
Unfortunately, he didn't know that the reason why Mu Hanyan's improvement in strength was not as dazzling as Mu Tianlie's was that she cut the veins and washed the marrow, and her cultivation potential was endless, so that the difficulty of improving her cultivation was also greatly increased.
After all, Mu Hanyan's aptitude is not too bad, but too good, so good that even Mu Tianlie can't compare with her.
"Don't worry, Grandfather, I will never let you down." Mu Chengxuan said excitedly with confidence again after hearing the words.
"That's good. Try not to provoke Mu Hanyan during this time, especially Ye Lanyan." The third elder was relieved to see that he recovered so quickly, and nodded.
"Ye Lanyan, what is the origin of that man, and that sword, what kind of sword is it?" Mu Chengxuan couldn't help asking when his grandfather mentioned Ye Lanyan.
At this point, if he still thinks that Ye Lanyan is Mu Hanyan's servant, then he is really stupid.
"I don't understand what it is. As for the sword... broken sword, broken sword, is it... impossible, it should be impossible." The third elder murmured to himself in a low voice.
"Forget it, leave him alone for now, just remember not to confront him head-on." The third elder pondered for a moment, but still couldn't come up with an answer, and said to Mu Chengxuan.
…
In the end, Mu Hanyan returned the long sword to Ye Lanyan.
She knew that relying too much on Ye Lanyan would not do her any good in cultivation.
It didn't take long for Aunt Xiu to tidy up the room. Mu Hanyan washed up briefly, changed her clothes, and then went to visit her grandfather. Naturally, Huayue and the others would not disturb their grandparents' reunion, and stayed in the small courtyard.
"Jiufu, why are you still following me?" Seeing that Mu Yunshui followed her step by step, Mu Hanyan asked.
"I'll lead you the way," Mu Yunshui said.
"I know the way, you go back." Mu Hanyan said to Mu Yunshui.
Mu Yunshui's kind reminder earlier made Mu Hanyan feel that although this old guy was a bit of a philistine and selfish, his essence was not bad. He was somewhat similar to the elder of Hei's City, so he became closer to him.
"It's okay, I'm going back just now, so I'll give you a ride. Didn't Mu Ze want to buy you a drink first, I'm afraid you will be entangled by them." Mu Yunshui said coyly.
"Jiu Gongfu, you are not worried that I can't tell the difference between south, east and north after a few glasses of wine, and I will pour out my brains about what to say and what not to say?" Seeing his expression that hesitated to speak, Mu Han Yan understood and said.
Mu Yunshui's expression became even more coy, neither admitting nor denying it.
"Jiufu, you underestimate me, Mu Hanyan. As the son of the lord of Blackstone City, what is more important, I can tell what to say and what not to say. I promise you that I will definitely do it " Mu Hanyan said with a straight face.
"That's good, that's good, then you go to see the Patriarch yourself, I'll go back first." Mu Yunshui heard her reassurance, and her heart finally fell into place.
"Don't worry, I, Mu Hanyan, am not a big mouther. I will never mention to anyone that you begged Zhao Yuanji for mercy in Black Rock City." Mu Hanyan said with a proud face.
"Uh... I'd better take you there." Mu Yunshui stared blankly at Mu Hanyan, who was not with a big mouth. After a long while, he said dejectedly.
"Hahahaha." Looking at Mu Yunshui's bitter face, Mu Hanyan couldn't help laughing.
"Jiufu, I'm not joking with you anymore. I won't spread the matter of Black Rock City. You don't have to worry. However, if any rumors spread to the capital, it's none of my business." Mu Hanyan put away her smile , said seriously.
Knowing that Mu Hanyan was joking, Mu Yunshui was completely relieved now.
