"Alright, alright, go if you want to go, but don’t think you’re sothing special just because you’ve reached the Fourth-tier Swordsman. Your strength is still far behind Brother Han Yan; keep your tail tucked in," the Second Elder said helplessly, offering him a bit of advice at the end.
"Thank you, Grandfather, I definitely won’t disappoint you," Mu Cheng said excitedly.
It was done; this kid, having just been promoted, was so excited he was out of his mind. Didn’t he see how he angered his own grandfather to the point where his beard nearly fell out? Yet he was still so thrilled. Everyone else shook their heads and sighed quietly.
Little did they know, Mu Cheng actually had other plans in mind.
Since returning from the Longyan Mountain, Mu Cheng was convinced that Mu Han’s achievents today were all thanks to the assistance of that mysterious young master. He was determined to poach him but, unfortunately, after several days of following, he ca up empty-handed.
A few days earlier, having sensed signs of a breakthrough, Mu Nan went into seclusion for cultivation and then successfully advanced to a Fourth-tier Swordsman. In Mu Nan’s view, his opportunity for a breakthrough had a great deal to do with the trip to Longyan Mountain. Otherwise, why would he have such an epiphany imdiately upon his return?
A true expert is indeed an expert. rely glancing from afar, he was influenced subtly and managed an effortless promotion. If he succeeded in poaching, what kind of gains would he receive?
In any case, Mu Cheng beca even more infatuated with the mysterious Ye Lanfeng.
It must be said, this guy had seen too many of Mu Han’s astonishing and magical feats. He racked his brains, pondering over and over, driving himself nearly mad with obsession.
Today, upon leaving seclusion, Mu Cheng heard of the glorious deeds of Mu Han Yan. The joy of his recent promotion vanished, leaving him in the depths of depression.
How could Mu Han Yan possibly discern the authenticity of a Griffin Egg? Even Zhao Sinin, the one who brought out the Griffin Egg, didn’t know. How did he co to know? The Third Elder would credit all this to Qu Shanling, but the obsessed Mu Cheng didn’t believe it.
A Star Divination Master, huh? They’re just charlatans, there’s no way they possess such Divine Skills. It must be that mysterious high person helping him!
It’s a pity that he went into seclusion for just a few days and missed the perfect opportunity to et the high person and poach him. Had he known, why would he care about advancing at all? Being able to poach would an far greater achievents than just becoming a Fourth-tier Swordsman. Even soone with Mu Han’s ager talent could reach the Sixth Rank with his guidance, let alone soone with his capabilities.
Mu Cheng made up his mind; he had to stick close to Mu Han Yan, especially this ti heading to Xiushui City. There could be dangers, and there was a greater chance for the high person to show up. He absolutely couldn’t miss it.
Of course, Mu Han Yan was unaware of Mu Cheng’s motives. If he had known, he would probably have burst out laughing.
Such foolishness was beyond compare!
Once things were settled, the young ones ntioned by na went back to get ready. Seeing their head-shaking, sighs, and dejected expressions, others felt sympathetic, though, of course, they felt even more sympathy for Mu Han Yan: This playboy was in for major trouble this ti.
Seeing their sympathetic looks, Mu Han Yan felt sowhat emotional. In the past, facing such situations, they would only have schadenfreude, never a hint of sympathy. This change was also a significant gain since his rebirth.
"Han Yan, co with ," said Mu Rui An with a stern face after the others had dispersed.
The two went one after the other, still maintaining the cold distance as before, and arrived at Mu Rui An’s study.
