During their conversation, the group had already walked into the teahouse, their gazes swiftly sweeping over the faces of the crowd.
Suddenly, the three of them froze.
Mu Hanyan looked at these three n and also froze. Qu Shanhai, Zong Dingfang, He Songhua—Mu Hanyan recognized them in an instant. Back in the Longyan Mountains, she had snatched the Dragon Blood Stone from their grasp.
"Been looking all over for you and couldn’t find you, never thought I’d actually run into you here. It’s like finding what you need without even trying. Hahaha." Qu Shanhai quickly recovered from his shock and burst into raucous laughter.
Last ti, a group of experts at the Great Swordsman level had gathered in the Longyan Mountains for the Dragon Blood Stone, only for a young junior to take advantage of them. Although they had been forced to back off due to Ye Lanfeng’s threat at the ti, they couldn’t truly accept it.
Reflecting on the incident, they confird that Mu Hanyan and Ye Lanfeng were not partners, just a coincidental eting, which sparked their interest again. However, they had underestimated Mu Hanyan back then and failed to ask for her na or background. Now, looking for her had beco tricky, so they turned to Zong Dingfang and He Songhua in Dragon Whisker City. Despite the distance from Heishi City to Dragon Whisker City, they hadn’t heard any news for many days, yet unexpectedly, here she was.
Hearing Qu Shanhai’s words, Mu Hanyan felt a slight sink in her heart. She could guess why they were looking for her and knew that it would be difficult to escape today.
"What should I do?" At this critical mont, Mu Hanyan instinctively reached for her Star Plate.
"Figure it out yourself; you can’t always rely on ." A few characters flashed on the Star Plate, then there was no further response.
Seriously? It used to be so proactive, but now it seems to fail at critical monts.
Mu Hanyan forced a smile; it seed that as her strength increased, the Star Illusion Thousand Machine grew less inclined to intervene in her affairs. While it’s true that "a jade stone must be carved to form," it shouldn’t just stand by every ti. What a letdown!
Mu Hanyan felt sowhat helpless. Although her power had advanced rapidly and she had reached the Ninth Rank Swordsman, she was up against three Great Swordsn. Among them, Qu Shanhai’s power was only a step away from that of a Sword Master.
Even if her true combat power could barely fend off a Great Swordsman, how could she possibly win against three, especially since they were well-known Great Swordsn?
Mu Hanyan knew she was being driven into a corner.
"It’s been so long since I’ve seen the three seniors; I truly didn’t expect to et you here. Quite the fate, isn’t it? I hear you were looking for , may I know why?" Mu Hanyan maintained her composure and asked with a smile.
The more crucial the mont, the more necessary it was to stay calm. She mustn’t lose her composure. If speaking about courage and composure, Mu Hanyan was many tis stronger than ordinary people. If facing even stronger foes, these three n would hardly compare to her.
"Don’t play dumb with . Hand it over, or I’ll make you beg for death today," Qu Shanhai said sharply.
Since there were other people around, he didn’t explicitly ntion the Dragon Blood Stone, nor did he want to make a public issue of it.
Mu Yuying and the others flushed at the sa ti. Although they didn’t know exactly what these n wanted from Mu Hanyan, the situation clearly indicated malintent.
As disciples of the Mu Family, with the Zong Family being a prominent household in the Capital, they naturally had a sense of pride and, seeing Qu Shanhai’s aggressive deanor, naturally felt a surge of shared indignation.
They had no sense of fear, not fully knowing the capabilities of the three n before them.
