Chapter 751 a bunch of playboys
Of course, this is not surprising—many charlatans enjoy playing this trick. They are clearly greedy for wealth but still put on an act of being aloof and contemptuous of material gain.But heaven bears witness, I really didn’t have such thoughts. Could it be that I have a natural talent for being a charlatan? Mu Hanyan couldn’t help but think this way.
"Master Mu, our Zhang Family has some reputation in the capital, but we can hardly compare with the Mu Family. You probably wouldn’t take a second glance at the treasures we have at home. So, here, take this item as a gift. Perhaps one day, it might prove to be useful," contemplated Zhang Chihua before taking out a brocade box to give to Mu Hanyan.
The brocade box was extremely small, yet Zhang Chihua kept it close to his person, which obviously made it very precious.
"Brother Zhang, you really don’t need to be so polite," Mu Hanyan declined.
"Master Mu, your assistance today was like giving my child another chance at life. If you refuse even a token of thanks, would it not seem like you’re looking down on the Zhang Family?" Zhang Chihua earnestly said.
"Well then, thank you very much," seeing his persistence, and as the conversation had reached this point, Mu Hanyan felt obliged to accept the brocade box.
Speaking of it, seeing the deep love the couple had for their child, she was touched and took a great liking to them, also wishing to establish a friendship.
However, being addressed as ’Master’ made her somewhat uncomfortable, and she added, "You don’t have to call me Master Mu either. If it’s all the same to you, why not just call each other brother?"
"Alright, then I’ll take the liberty of calling you Brother Mu from now on," seeing Mu Hanyan’s forthright and unpretentious nature, Zhang Chihua responded warmly.
"We must take our leave, Brother Mu, you should return to the Mu Family as well. The matter from earlier should be dealt with promptly," said Zhang Chihua.
"Thank you for the reminder, Brother Zhang; we’ll head back now," responded Mu Hanyan, realizing that Zhang Chihua was in a hurry to express gratitude, which was actually a way to urge her to return to the Mu Family as soon as possible.
One reason was to avoid Zhang Zexian getting home first and playing the victim, especially since she’d been away from the capital for sixteen years and had no dealings with the Zong clan members; yet Zhang Zexian was raised in the Zong Family, so it was clear who was closer to whom. If not handled properly, her time in the Zong Family might not be too pleasant.
Although Mu Hanyan did not care about these things, she also did not want to cause a situation like the one in Heishi City, where even her own clan’s disciples shunned her.
Another reason was to prevent Zhang Zexian from coming back with more people seeking revenge. The previous misunderstanding was one thing—it wasn’t too dramatic. But if there was another conflict within the clan, it would disgrace the Mu Family’s reputation.
After bidding farewell to the Zhang couple, Mu Hanyan and her companions quickly headed towards the Mu Mansion.
"By the way, Brother Mu, the item inside the brocade box was obtained by the two of us from those ancient ruins. Those ruins have been destroyed, and we only took this one item. We’ve pondered over it for several years without unraveling its mysteries. You must keep it safe and not reveal it lightly," Mu Hanyan heard again Zhang Chihua’s voice in her ear through a Gathering Qi Transmission, just before they parted.
Only then did Mu Hanyan realize that the object in the brocade box was so valuable. Unfortunately, the couple had already gone too far, and it was too late to return it to them.
"Impressive for being the number one playboy of Heishi City, not sparing even his own people."
"The capital is set to become even more lively now."
"It’s hard to say how lively the capital will be, but the Mu Family is definitely going to heat up first." Only after Mu Hanyan and her entourage had walked far away did the onlookers start to discuss the matter with relish.
Thus, the name of Mu Hanyan, the Big Playboy Mu, spread its wings and flew to every corner of the capital, and in no time, it became the talk of the town for the citizens to chat about over tea and meals.
The Mu Mansion, located on the west side of the capital, was vast and majestic. Though the red walls and gates bore some mottled marks, displaying their ancient and timeworn appearance, they also added a sense of dignity.
"Who is so bold as to dare to bully our Mu Family? We’ll cripple them right away."
"How dare they disregard our Mu Family! Not only will we cripple him, but we will also annihilate the clan behind him." Mu Hanyan and the others had just reached the entrance and hadn’t even had time to send someone to announce their arrival, when they saw a group of young men storming out, cursing loudly as they went.
Mu Hanyan secretly wiped off a cold sweat, glad that she had arrived in time. If they had encountered each other on the street, with their temperament, they would have surely started a fierce fight without asking any questions. If word of this got out afterwards, not to mention Anyun Country, even people from other nations would laugh their heads off.
"It’s them, it’s them!" As soon as Mu Hanyan saw them, they naturally also saw her. Mu Ze, who was at the forefront of the group, thought his eyes were playing tricks on him at first. After rubbing his eyes, he was certain he had not recognized the wrong person, and he shouted out loud.
"What do you mean ’them’?" The others were still confused and looked at Mu Ze in bewilderment.
"It was them who attacked and injured me just now." Mu Ze looked at Mu Hanyan with some fear and said resentfully.
"What? It’s bad enough that they hurt one of our Mu Family’s disciples, but they even dare to come knocking on our door!" The rest of the Mu Family’s disciples were all shocked. Read full story at ????????????????????※????????????????※????????????
There are actually such arrogant people in the world, not only do they not run after beating someone up, they dare to come to our door looking for trouble! Do they even have brains? Do they even know where they are? This is the Mu Family, one of the Eight Great Families of Anyun City!
"Bullying to such an extent, this is truly outrageous; do they really think our Mu Family is without its people?"
"So disrespectful towards our Mu Family, we don’t need to be polite to them, attack!" Despite being surprised, as disciples of the Mu Family, and at their own doorstep, they naturally were not afraid of a confrontation. Who knows who led the charge, but over a dozen Mu Family’s disciples drew their longswords and charged towards Mu Hanyan and her party.
"Wait, I am..." Mu Hanyan hurriedly shouted.
She really hadn’t expected the descendants of the Mu Family in the capital to be so hot-tempered, ready to cripple people and wipe out their families at the drop of a hat. To think someone called her a playboy, this was the true definition of playboys, and not just one, but a whole bunch of them.
Mu Hanyan certainly did not want to start a blood feud on her first day back home, so she hurriedly announced her identity.
Unfortunately, before she could finish speaking, seven or eight longswords were already pointing at her face. Unable to help it, since Mu Ze had pointed her out, most people went straight for her as soon as the fight started.
True to their status as Zong Family’s disciples, although they appeared young, their strength was not weak. Their cultivation mostly reached the levels of Eighth and Ninth Rank Swordsmen, with a few even achieving the cultivation of Great Swordsmen like Mu Ze.
Mu Hanyan dared not be too careless, and with quick footwork, her palms struck out continuously, sending the oncoming Mu Family’s disciples flying through the air as if they were mounting the clouds and riding the mist.
Fortunately, this time Mu Hanyan knew their identity and did not strike with lethal force. The disciples landed lightly and were not injured.
