Speaking of her grandfather, Mu Hanyan was completely unfamiliar with the man. As far as she knew, shortly after her birth, she was deed to have no prospects, a born waste, and thus her father was dispatched to Heishi City by her grandfather. Even after her brother Mu Hanfeng showed exceptional talent, they still had no opportunity to return to the Capital.
As for herself, she had never even seen her grandfather.
In the past, she harbored doubts about this, holding resentnt towards her grandfather. Now, she realized she was completely mistaken in blaming him; his actions were actually to protect her, and both her father and brother must have been affected by her misfortune, hence they were stuck in Heishi City.
"Do you want to find your grandfather and ask him for clarity on these matters?" Mu Rui’an asked, discerning Mu Hanyan’s thoughts.
"Yes," Mu Hanyan nodded. In her previous life, she had been ignorant, but now that she had been reborn, she naturally didn’t want to live in confusion again; she was determined to find the answers.
"When we were leaving the Capital, your grandfather once said sothing to ," said Mu Rui’an after a mont’s pause.
"What was it?"
"He said, ’If you are destined for diocrity in this life, it’s not necessarily a bad thing. You are a child of the Mu Family, and it doesn’t matter whether you turn out to be a dragon or a worm, as long as you are safe and sound for this life, he would be completely satisfied. He also warned not to attempt to enhance your cultivation for you, everything must be done by your own efforts, otherwise, helping you would actually harm you,’" Mu Rui’an spoke with seriousness, then added, "Your grandfather’s decision for our family to move to Heishi City may seem like a banishnt to outsiders, but in fact, it was also to protect you."
Even without his words, Mu Hanyan could have guessed this.
A deep warmth surged in her heart. Although she had no mories of her grandfather, this sentint allowed her to deeply feel his care and affection for her. A child of his own, whether they beca a dragon or a worm, as long as they had a peaceful life, that was the utmost fulfillnt of a grandfather’s blessing and hope, wasn’t it?
"He also said that unless you manage to advance to the Sword Master Realm by the age of sixteen on your own, you should not set foot in the Capital; and unless you can reach the Sword Saint Realm by the age of twenty by yourself, you should never expect to understand the cause and effect of these matters," Mu Rui’an continued.
"I understand," Mu Hanyan nodded.
Since her grandfather’s actions were also for her protection, she naturally had to respect his decisions. Moreover, Mu Hanyan had an intuition that her own background, and the unknown enemy, might not only bring disaster upon her but could also threaten the entire family. Otherwise, her grandfather would not have made these ticulous arrangents.
"What do you understand?" Mu Rui’an said with a wry smile. "The Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill I gave you, which was ant to enhance your cultivation, has already gone against your grandfather’s arrangent. You can never go to the Capital in this life and will never find the answers."
No wonder in her forr life, her father waited until she was sixteen before giving her the Vessel Cutting Marrow Cleansing Pill. Perhaps, seeing that she could no longer et the requirents set by her grandfather, he had finally let go.
Mu Hanyan completely understood and directly took out the Vessel Cutting Marrow Cleansing Pill from her bosom.
"What?! You actually didn’t take the Vessel Cutting Marrow Cleansing Pill?" Mu Rui’an looked at Mu Hanyan in surprise, then at the pill in her hand, a look of disbelief on his face.
