Chapter 725 will definitely be a henpecked husband in the future
Mu Hanyan pushed Mu Hanfeng out and then hurried back to her own courtyard to pack her luggage. Speaking of packing, it was actually a matter of checking if there was anything else she needed to bring; the servants had long finished packing for her. In any case, Mu Hanyan just couldn’t wait to sprout wings and fly away from Heishi City. Just the thought of those old guys with their eyes glowing green made her tremble with dread. She didn’t know how her brother Hanfeng was doing, whether he had managed to escape from those elders. It must be a hassle for him too.Pretending sympathy for her "blessed with women" brother, Mu Hanyan continued with her preparations for leaving Heishi City for the Capital.
"Dad, Mom, I’m leaving. Please take care," Mu Hanyan said, holding her parents’ hands, unable to hide the reluctance in her voice, which even sounded a bit choked up.
At this moment, Mu Hanyan had none of the cold ruthlessness she exhibited towards enemies, only deep affection and attachment.
"You take care of yourself too," replied her mother, her eyes shimmering with tears, yet she still managed to squeeze out a smile, not wanting to worry Mu Hanyan.
"By the way, Mom, where’s Hanfeng?" At such a crucial moment of departure, Mu Hanfeng was nowhere to be seen, which made Mu Hanyan secretly wonder: Could it be that he was actually being forced by those elders to consummate a marriage?
"He’s gone too. His strength is no longer suitable to remain in Heishi City. Staying would only waste his time and talents," said Mu Rui’an.
"What, he went to the Capital too?" Mu Hanyan asked in surprise. Heishi City was too small, and the branch of the Mu Family there lacked depth, unable to provide better cultivation resources or cultivation techniques for Mu Hanfeng, who was now a Sword Master. Apart from the Mu Family in the capital and the Four Great Academies, Mu Hanyan couldn’t think of any other place that could help him improve his cultivation.
"No, not to the Capital. He said he has found a better place to cultivate and his own path of cultivation and didn’t want so many constraints," said his mother with a kind face. It was clear she was worried about her son’s departure, but she still supported his decision unconditionally.
Mu Hanyan then realized, upon reflection, that although Mu Hanfeng had previously been stronger than Mu Feng, the difference was limited. However, upon returning from this latest endeavor, he had advanced to the realm of a Sword Master, likely due to some fortuitous adventure that gave him insights beyond ordinary people, leading to his decision.
Mu Hanyan had been planning to give Mu Hanfeng her repeatedly refined and upgraded Heavenly Heart Technique, but knowing his decision, she dismissed the idea. For origınal chapters go to ????????????????????※????????????????※????????????
Everyone has their own path to follow, in life as well as in cultivation. Although her Heavenly Heart Technique is infinitely profound, it is not meant for everyone. Without the help of the Star Illusion Thousand Machine in the Washing Marrow and Cutting Veins process, she might not have achieved any results herself. Giving it rashly to Mu Hanfeng might have done more harm than good, so she decided to let him pursue his own path of cultivation.
"Great Elder, Second Elder, Third Elder, I’m leaving now. I’ve caused you so many troubles in the past, please be magnanimous and don’t take it to heart," Mu Hanyan apologized to the three elders.
Although the three elders had been prejudiced against her in the past, often deliberately targeting her, Mu Hanyan had indeed stirred up a fair amount of trouble herself, and any family elder would be distressed by such behavior. She couldn’t entirely blame the three elders.
"Hanyan, don’t be such a stranger with us. Everyone has their wild youth. Young people should be full of vigor and vitality. Do you expect them to be solemn and depressed like us old guys?" said the Great Elder, with all seriousness.
Upon hearing the words of the Great Elder, those behind him, including Mu Ze and Mu Ying, all covered their mouths and laughed. The Great Elder hadn’t used to talk like this, instead, he often scolded them for not being steady enough and lacking the poise of family successors. How had he completely changed his tune now? Obviously, being a playboy and causing trouble by nature, yet in his mouth, it had somehow become youthful vigor and rashness.
Hearing the snickering behind him, the Great Elder turned his head and scolded with disappointment, "Laugh, laugh, you still have the face to laugh. Did I say anything wrong? This time, who helped our Mu Family escape from danger? Who was always one step ahead, with flawless planning? If you all continue to stick to old ways without striving for progress, acting subservient and just waiting for death, beware, I’ll skin you alive."
Uh... Did he mean they should also learn from Big Playboy Mu and cause trouble everywhere?
Luckily, the citizens of Heishi City didn’t hear the Great Elder’s words, otherwise, who knows how many would dare to stay.
One Big Playboy Mu was enough; if all the younger members of the Mu Family turned into playboys, how could anyone live with that?
"Don’t worry Great Elder, from now on we will certainly practice cultivation diligently, striving to revitalize the Mu Family, and ensuring not to let our elders down. Moreover, we won’t let Brother Han Yan’s efforts be in vain," said Mu Ze and the others, of course. They knew the Great Elder now found everything about Mu Hanyan pleasing to the eye, even his various "faults" were seen as merits. If they dared to cause trouble like the former Big Playboy Mu, they probably would indeed end up being skinned alive, so they didn’t take it seriously and spoke earnestly.
"There’s no need to overdo it, the Cultivation Path is most averse to impatience and agitation. It’s better to proceed in an orderly and graduated way," Mu Hanyan said with a smile. Not everyone had her experiences, and she didn’t want Mu Ze and the others to focus solely on cultivation because of her influence, to the point where they lost the joy they ought to have.
In her past life, they suffered innocently because of her, so in this life, she simply hoped they could live happily.
Not many had come to see her off—apart from the Mu Rui’an couple and the three elders, there were only the younger members like Mu Ze who were familiar with Mu Hanyan, these people were also the future pillars of the Mu Family. And then there was the increasingly chubby Yi Qinglian. Mu Feng stood beside Yi Qinglian, trying to please her. Mu Feng had finally realized a truth, which was that Yi Qinglian’s attitude towards him depended on his attitude towards Mu Hanyan. If he was kind and pleasant to Mu Hanyan, then Yi Qinglian was kind and pleasant to him. Moreover, he finally realized that Yi Qinglian and Mu Hanyan truly had a friendship with no romantic feelings involved. Once he was sure of this, he was over the moon. Since Yi Qinglian’s attitude towards him had recently improved, he felt even more optimistic about the future.
"Han Yan, you take care of yourself, and look after yourself well," Yi Qinglian said with reluctance to let go.
"Yes, silly girl, you take care too. With Mu Feng looking after you, I’ll rest easy. Just feel free to enslave him," Mu Hanyan said, looking at Yi Qinglian and Mu Feng together with a sense of relief in his heart. In the past life, after Yi Qinglian’s tragic death, Mu Feng was almost driven to madness, recklessly seeking revenge for Yi Qinglian—only, Mu Hanyan beat him to it. Mu Hanyan was quite certain of Mu Feng’s true feelings for Yi Qinglian. So these two being together was quite reassuring for her.
"I don’t need to take care," said Yi Qinglian with slight irritation upon hearing Mu Hanyan’s words. "I have gained weight recently, I need to lose weight! If I get any fatter, it won’t look nice."
"No, no, Qinglian, you look great no matter what. Just eat whatever you want," Mu Feng quickly interjected, groveling at her side.
"Future prospects," Mu Hanyan rolled his eyes at Mu Feng’s groveling. Okay, it was foreseeable that he would be another husband enslaved by his wife, yet one who took pleasure in it.
Everyone laughed, lightening the air of the heavy-hearted farewells.
About to embark for the Mu Family in the capital to learn the truth, Mu Hanyan even felt a mix of expectation and eagerness.
