"Thank you, Young Master, for making this happen. The Young Master is indeed as unfathomable as the Divine Dragon that shows only its head but not its tail; his strength is truly enormous. My admiration for the Young Master is beyond words. From now on, we will stay with Nanyan Chamber of Commerce and wholeheartedly serve the Nanyan Chamber of Commerce, bravely facing any challenges for the Young Master. In life, we belong to the Nanyan Chamber of Commerce; in death, we are the dead of the Nanyan Chamber of Commerce." The people were grateful yet awestruck, and there was also a hint of anticipation in their voices as they spoke to Mu Hanyan.
Initially, they all looked down on Mu Hanyan, thinking he was just a playboy with a notable family background. However, it was only now that they realized they had been completely mistaken. This wasn’t a playboy at all; he was a hidden giant dragon, destined to soar to great heights one day!
The Master indeed had foresight, having recognized his true talent early on. He shamelessly flattered and tried every means to please him. When it came to foresight, they couldn’t compare to their Master.
Thinking about the Master’s twenty-year indenture contract, they even grew envious and hurriedly volunteered to sign a lifelong indenture contract.
"Off with you, flatterers. Is it your turn to face fire and boiling water?" Zirong stepped forward, kicked the little flatterers aside, and said with a sycophantic expression, "It turns out the Young Master’s strength has advanced to such a realm, truly a cause for celebration. I, Zirong, do not flatter nor do I like those who butter up others. Of course, the Young Master, with his discerning wisdom and lofty ambitions, won’t be fooled by their sweet words. With his wise and merciful heart, he surely knows who is sincerely loyal and who is opportunistic..."
Mu Hanyan and the others wiped their foreheads together. Was this not considered flattery? If this wasn’t flattery, then what was?
"What exactly are you trying to say?" Mu Hanyan interrupted him.
"Young Master, my strength seems to have stagnated recently; could you perhaps think of some way to help me?" Zirong said earnestly with a troubled expression.
"And me," Huayue interjected more directly.
"Hmm, let me think of something," Mu Hanyan nodded.
She understood the intentions of Zirong and Huayue—they longed to become stronger, much more so than ordinary people. Seeing Qu Shanling become a Great Swordsman with her help, they inevitably felt an urge. Google seaʀᴄh novel※fire.net
Mu Hanyan didn’t mind, for in fact, to protect her family well against unknown enemies, the stronger Zirong and Huayue were, the better. Even if they hadn’t asked, Mu Hanyan would have found a way regardless.
However, their cases were different from Qu Shanling’s. She had been able to help Qu Shanling partly because her Heavenly Heart Technique possessed the miraculous power of embracing all things, and partly because Qu Shanling’s Hand Formation complemented and derived from the Heavenly Heart Technique.
To help them using the same method would require them to learn this Hand Formation as well. However, Qu Shanling had put in twenty years of hard work on the Star Illusion Thousand Mechanism Technique, which allowed him to achieve mastery abruptly, whereas she had mastered it immediately because she had cultivated the evolved Heavenly Heart Technique.
Teaching Zirong this Hand Formation might take years; it would simply be a lost cause.
Actually, the best way to rapidly increase strength was through combat, particularly at life-or-death moments, which could stimulate human potential. Mu Hanyan secretly pondered that it was time to find an opportunity to take them out for some real-world experience, which would greatly benefit her strength improvement too.
