Chapter 825: The Renowned Mu Family’s Mu Hanyan
"Brother Han Yan." When Han Yunyun saw Mu Hanyan coming, she let out a long sigh of relief and quickly snuggled up beside him.The little playboys felt as if a sudden flash was blocking their view; a few figures stood in front of them, startling them, and they dared not make a move.
"Are you Han Yunyun’s brother?" He Qingwei was also slightly surprised.
Even he couldn’t clearly see how Mu Hanyan and the others appeared before them. Obviously, their skills were not bad, and before figuring out their identity, he dared not act rashly.
"Yes, Yunyun is my sister." Mu Hanyan said calmly.
"That’s good, your sister just kicked and injured me, how do you think this account should be settled?" Upon hearing that he was Han Yunyun’s brother, He Qingwei relaxed.
He had visited the Mu Residence and knew that Han Yunyun was just the daughter of a servant. Even if her brother had some skill, at most he was a servant of the Mu Residence, merely possessing some talent to have been taught some Cultivation Technique by the Main Family. Their He Family had lots of such people; no matter how skilled, a servant is always a servant.
Although he vaguely heard Han Yunyun call "Brother Han Yan," on the Holy Court Continent, order and hierarchy are respected, and noble family sons are especially arrogant. So long as he and Han Yunyun are siblings, no one would link him with Mu Hanyan, the grandson of the Mu Family’s Zong Family Head.
"How do you want to settle it?" Mu Hanyan looked at He Qingwei tranquilly.
"Let’s see, paying with life for killing, and compensation for injuring is only natural. But I know your family background; if I asked you to pay compensation, you couldn’t afford it. Just let this little girl serve at my residence for a period, and when I’m healed, she can return." He Qingwei said lustfully, glancing at Han Yunyun.
"Well, then I think I’d rather compensate with money." Mu Hanyan said without expression.
"Compensate with money?" Hearing Mu Hanyan’s words, He Qingwei was initially taken aback, then looked at Mu Hanyan as if looking at an idiot, bursting into laughter, "Others may not know your status, but don’t I, He Qingwei, understand it? Your mother is just a servant of the Mu Residence. Compensation, can you afford it?"
"Brother He, I guess this idiot doesn’t know your status, he thinks he’s just dealing with a beggar?" the little Skinny mocked.
"Look carefully, this is the second grandson of the He Family Patriarch, one of the Eight Great Families of the Capital. Dare to injure him, and you think several taels of silver can settle it?" Another little lackey boasted.
"Don’t overestimate your worth just because you’ve got some skills; you’re just a lowborn, a servant’s child. If you’re sensible, send your sister to the He Residence obediently. Otherwise, I’ll make sure you die without a burial place today."
"Hehe, if you serve our Brother He comfortably, maybe he’ll make your sister his concubine, and then you’ll be the brother-in-law of the He Family, living a life far better than being a servant at the Mu Residence." The others chimed in.
Hearing He Qingwei elaborate on Han Yunyun’s identity, they all assumed Mu Hanyan was a servant of the Mu Residence, ignoring him. Although their status couldn’t compare to He Qingwei’s, they were still offspring of the Capital’s wealthy families, with plenty of elite guards, even Death Soldiers among them. Regardless of their strength, before them, those still had to tuck their tails.
"Silence!" Seeing He Qingwei and others not only insult Han Yunyun but Mu Hanyan as well, Huayue and the others boiled with anger, unable to resist making a move.
But Mu Hanyan waved his hand, stopping them.
"Are these silvers enough?" Mu Hanyan smiled, handing a silver note to He Qingwei.
"Haha, you really want to pay? But a mere servant, how much silver can you have?"
"For your worthless life, even selling yourself wouldn’t fetch much, and you have the nerve to take out a silver note, do you think we haven’t seen one before?" The group of little playboys continued their mocking tones.
"Shut up." He Qingwei originally wasn’t intending to accept the silver note Mu Hanyan handed over, but upon seeing the small writing on it, his eyes widened immediately.
One million! Indeed, this was the one million graciously sponsored by Mu Chengyang.
Even though the He Family was one of the Eight Great Families of the Capital, He Qingwei being the second grandson of the Family Patriarch, one million was no small figure for him. After all, with a large family and business, expenses were also significant. No matter how wealthy, they couldn’t allow the family’s descendants to squander arbitrarily.
Seeing He Qingwei’s expression change, those playboys turned to look at the silver note’s amount and were all astonished. They hadn’t expected Han Yunyun’s brother to be so wealthy; his status within the Mu Family must be significant.
Thinking of this, the group of little playboys simultaneously quieted down. Generally speaking, the status of servants in noble families is extremely humble, but there are occasional exceptions. If they possess strong skills and are loyal to the family, accomplishing great feats, even those of servant origin have hopes of being appointed as Tributor or Guest, even marrying into the Zong Family, raising their status above many less capable descendants of the family.
"That single-eyed boy looks decent, if having some skill, maybe some Zong Family lady might fancy him as a candidate son-in-law." Seeing Han Yunyun’s "brother" young yet bearing a remarkable demeanor, spending so generously with seemingly considerable cultivation, the little playboys couldn’t help but think, no longer daring to underestimate him as before.
"Since that’s the case, then I won’t make it difficult for you; we’re leaving. Also, next time let your sister be more aware, not everything in the Capital is her business to meddle with." He Qingwei didn’t hesitate much, directly pocketing the silver note.
After all, Han Yunyun’s cultivation was significantly low, her earlier kick cunning though it was, he wasn’t seriously injured, and one million compensation would suffice. He had guessed that Han Yunyun’s brother’s status in the Mu Family wasn’t just that of an ordinary servant, so he chose not to strain their relationship.
Of course, as one of the notorious playboys of the Capital, upon leaving, he had to toss a harsh line; otherwise, it would be a loss of face if word got out.
"Humph, next time if you offend our Brother He again, it won’t just be about a million, even selling yourselves wouldn’t suffice." The other playboys followed He Qingwei, refusing to show weakness as they jeered.
"Having accepted my million, wouldn’t you at least ask my name?" Mu Hanyan wasn’t angry, smiling as he spoke.
"What is your name?" He Qingwei asked casually without thinking.
"My name is Mu Hanyan, Mu Family, Mu Hanyan."
Mu Hanyan’s voice wasn’t loud, but within He Qingwei and the others’ ears, it sounded like a shocking thunder.
Oh my god! It’s Mu Hanyan, it’s Mu Hanyan!!!!
Mu Family, Mu Hanyan. That Heishi City’s number one playboy Mu Hanyan... Oh no, reportedly soon to become the Capital’s number one playboy, Mu Hanyan! The same Mu Hanyan who upon arriving at the Capital immediately smashed Ji Gaoxian’s sign and beat up Mu Zexian! Who after staying a single night at home slapped Mu Chengyang, walked away unscathed, and even trapped someone into losing half a year’s stipend, Mu Hanyan! The Mu Hanyan who left Mo Yanhong broke beyond recovery, forfeiting even ancestral business property!
