Jiang Yuzhe was sharply taken aback. The Mu Family in the Capital was one of the most ancient and powerful families in Anyun Country. Even though Mu Hanyan’s family had been exiled to Heishi City, they were still of the Direct Lineage of the Mu Family in the capital. Mu Hanyan was right; even if Jiang Yuzhe beat himself up, as long as he didn’t kill himself, his Fourth Uncle truly wouldn’t dare to do anything to Mu Hanyan.
What he did not know was that the Mu Family in the capital actually did not care whether Mu Hanyan lived or died. This fact became the perfect tiger skin that Big Playboy Mu used to flaunt his power.
"I’m too lazy to argue with you anymore. Don’t say I didn’t give you a chance. Just beat him, and not only will I apologize to you, I’ll stay out of your business from then on. You can do whatever you want. However, if you lose, from now on, you’ll follow me and loyally serve as my guard just like those two," said Mu Hanyan nonchalantly.
Initially wanting to flaunt his playboy swagger with a fan flick, as the sky grew darker and the chill more intense, fanning cold air made his neck cold, so Big Playboy Mu decided against doing so. It must be said, sometimes putting on airs comes at a price.
Behind him, Huayue, Zirong, and Mu Nan all looked at Mu Hanyan thoughtfully.
Initially, when Mu Hanyan stood up for Mu Yuying, they thought that it was just Big Playboy Mu who had endured in silence to the breaking point and couldn’t hold back any longer and now wanted to show his strength in front of his siblings to reclaim his rightful position and dignity. Now it seemed they had thought too simply.
Clearly, from the moment Mu Hanyan stepped forward, he had made up his mind to recruit Jiang Yuzhe for his own use. However, at that time, Jiang Yuzhe’s momentum was strong, and from his words and actions, he was definitely not a brainless person, not someone who could be subdued by a few words or a single contest. Hence, Mu Hanyan took a more cunning approach, first letting Demon Sword Hua Yue and Demon Sword Zirong beat him severely, suppressing his rebellious spirit.
At the same time, he also stirred up Jiang Yuzhe’s resentful and indignant heart. Then, by further provoking him with Huayue, any person with even a little bit of blood would hardly refuse such a challenge.
Thinking the situation through from beginning to end, Huayue and the others couldn’t help but exchange glances, each seeing the admiration in the others’ eyes. This kind of strategy, where was the uneducated playboy? He was simply a cunning little fox. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ N0velFire.ɴet
The only thing they couldn’t figure out was what was so extraordinary about the Jiang Yuzhe before them that he warranted Mu Hanyan’s great effort.
Of course, they wouldn’t know that in just a few years, Demon Sword Hua Yue, Demon Sword Zirong, and Ghost Sword Jiang Yuzhe would become some of the most famous swordsmen in Anyun Country. All three of them were of similar age and notorious reputations, thus collectively known as the Three Great Calamities.
However, in that future, Huayue and Zirong, who also came from the Mu Family, hardly interacted with each other, and they had even less to do with Jiang Yuzhe. But in this lifetime, since Mu Hanyan had already recruited Demon Sword Hua Yue and Demon Sword Zirong under her banner, and now had the opportunity to meet Jiang Yuzhe before his fame, how could she possibly let him slip through her fingers?
Thinking about the future where the Three Great Calamities, so notorious they could stop children from crying at night, might all become her henchmen, sent a thrill through Mu Hanyan, filled with a sense of achievement.
Of course, the sense of achievement was only one aspect, more importantly, she needed to protect her family and not let them suffer the harm they did in another life. She needed not only stronger personal power but also a more formidable force.
Jiang Yuzhe, however, had no idea what Mu Hanyan was thinking. After a moment of consideration, he spoke, "Once a word is spoken..."
"It can’t be taken back even by a team of four horses!" Mu Hanyan interrupted immediately.
