Such breadth of vision, such courage, she was truly impressed and proud. If it weren’t for her, her father would have been a figure that swayed the masses, definitely the center of attention. But because of her, he was confined to the small Heishi City... Mu Hanyan clenched her fists tightly, determined that one day, she would certainly make her father proud!
After finding something to eat in the kitchen, Mu Hanyan left the Mu Residence.
Before she could get out the door, she saw Mu Nan running after her.
"Brother Han Yan, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time," Mu Nan said, panting, "why did you only get up now?"
"You still dared to wait for me, not afraid of your grandfather blowing his top?" Mu Hanyan looked around and did not see the Third Elder’s grim face. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novｅlfire.net
"I’m not afraid, Grandpa probably won’t bother me much anymore," Mu Nan said with a face full of joy.
"What do you mean?" Mu Hanyan looked at Mu Nan curiously. Not bothering him meant completely giving up, right? What was there to be happy about?
"Yesterday, didn’t my grandpa hold a banquet to entertain an extraordinary sage? Do you know who that sage was? It was Qu the God—oh, no, I mean Master Qu," Mu Nan grinned, catching himself midway and quickly corrected his words, looking cautiously around to make sure no one had overheard before he relaxed.
"My grandpa invited him to divine the fortunes for us brothers yesterday. I arrived late, and initially, he favored Brother Huaidong, but as soon as he saw me, he changed his face faster than flipping a book..." Mu Nan continued explaining as he walked out the main door, enthusiastically recounting the events from the previous night’s banquet.
Speaking of extraordinary people doing extraordinary things, talking about his own fortune derived from Star Divination, Mu Hanyan’s Heavenly Star descending, he laughed forward and backward, occasionally gagging a few times.
Mu Hanyan was also stunned. This old god-man was truly shameless. Even if he wanted to flatter her, there was no need to be so disgraceful. Just hearing a name, and it’s a Heavenly Star descending. In others’ eyes, a shameful and promiscuous behavior, in his words, becomes unrestrained and extraordinary deeds, even harassing innocent young girls turned into having manners.
Ah, spit! Mu Hanyan couldn’t help but retch twice.
"Until the banquet ended, Master Qu kept praising me which turned Brother Huaidong’s face white. Grandpa sighed for a while, it seemed he also had a realization. Before leaving, he especially told me to take care of myself in the future and leave some leeway in everything, not to take matters to extremes.
And yeah, Grandpa also asked me to have a chance to advise you something like ’Do not mourn the coat woven with gold threads, cherish the time of youth’, basically wanting you to learn well," Mu Nan continued.
"Okay, I understand, later I’ll thank the Third Elder," said Mu Hanyan.
Knowing that the Third Elder’s attitude towards Mu Nan had changed, Mu Hanyan felt much more relieved. Otherwise, seeing Mu Nan always being aggrieved would also distress her.
"By the way, Brother Han Yan, my grandfather also asked the old god-man to determine the fortune for my uncle, fearing he might meet some mishap. I’m not sure if he has that ability, but if not, could you help out?" Mu Nan looked at Mu Hanyan with hopeful eyes. Compared to the old god-man, who could only brag, he trusted Mu Hanyan more.
"You shouldn’t look down on him too much; he does have some abilities," Mu Hanyan said ambiguously.
What did she know about Star Divination? Just now when Mu Rui’an mentioned Mu Ziqing, she had been recalling her past life, wondering if Mu Ziqing had ever encountered any mishaps.
