"Is this what they call ’good people being rewarded’?"
If it hadn’t been for her reluctance to let outsiders know her secret, Han Yan would have probably laughed out loud on the spot.
"Really, you’re actually willing to help again? I’ve experienced firsthand how formidable the power of Heavenly Star is. I’ve thought of many ways but failed to purify the impurities within it, and I even suffered serious injuries because of it. Although I don’t know how you manage it, it mustn’t have been easy. If you feel any discomfort, just say so, there’s no need to push yourself and risk damaging your foundation." Seeing Han Yan with a serious face, Yan Yuchu thought she might have been hurt while helping him and was too embarrassed to speak, expressing his concerns with a mix of worry and gratitude.
Han Yan felt sheepishly embarrassed. The only reason she kept a straight face was for fear that he might see her pleasure and get his guard up, as she was counting on his help to enhance her strength.
To be honest, the Heavenly Star power within Yan Yuchu’s qi was much the sa as during the last teor Shower, but it was also a lot milder than the energy contained in the teor Shower itself. Even without the help of the Star Illusion Thousand Machine, she could have easily transford it into Heavenly Heart Energy. It was said that she was helping Yan Yuchu, but in reality, she benefited even more.
Who would have thought that just a bit of vague mystique would lead to such rich conjecture from Yan Yuchu? Could it be that she really had the potential to be a god-man?
"It’s nothing, just a slight discomfort, no need to worry. If you encounter any trouble in your cultivation practice later on, feel free to co to . Don’t forget, we’re friends. We should be helping each other, standing side by side and facing strong enemies together," said Han Yan earnestly in a noble manner to Yan Yuchu.
"Uh..." Yan Yuchu looked at Han Yan, suddenly feeling how his serious and righteous manner seed sohow unsettling.
"It turns out everyone has underestimated you. The joke about being a talentless playboy is a great one. You are the real cultivation prodigy of the Mu Family." At this mont, the voice of Mu Ziqing, filled with admiration, ca from behind.
"Uncle Four, you’re awake. How is your injury?" Even the biggest secrets must co to light soday; one can’t keep them hidden forever. Since Mu Hanyan had co to Xiushui City alone, she was prepared for Mu Ziqing to discover her secret, so she responded calmly.
"I’m fine, it’s not a big deal. Hanyan, thank you for this ti," Mu Ziqing said seriously to Han Yan. On the Holy Court Continent, the strong are revered, especially among swordsn, so even as an elder, Mu Ziqing showed considerable respect to the much stronger Han Yan.
"There’s no need to be polite, Uncle Four. The fact that you didn’t treat as an outsider has already moved ," Han Yan earnestly replied. Mu Ziqing had not treated her with cold indifference because of her reputation as a playboy; in tis of crisis, he had even risked his life to save her. This familial affection was all the more precious to her.
Mu Ziqing smiled. What moved him more was Han Yan addressing him as Uncle Four. Mu Feng was known as a Fifth Rank Swordsman and one of the two young geniuses of the Heishi City Mu Family. He often carried himself with excessive pride and indifference towards Mu Ziqing. Han Yan, however, a Ninth-Order Swordsman, still showed him due respect as a junior. How could that not move him?
All those rumors of being ignorant and playboy-like, how ruinous idle gossip can be.
"By the way, Uncle Four, about my strength and what happened today, I hope you can keep it a secret for , as if you know nothing," Han Yan said to Mu Ziqing.
