"Is that all you can think of?" Mu Hanyan asked.
"What else?" Yan Yuchu looked at Mu Hanyan with some confusion and suddenly his face went pale.
Their situation was strikingly similar to that of an ancestor of the Mu Family. The same label of uselessness, the same overnight transformation from useless to genius, and the same assassination attempts.
However, the only difference was that their strength was far less compared to that ancient Mu Family ancestor, and the assassins they faced were much weaker, which was why they had managed to survive.
"I don’t know what secrets lie behind this, but becoming famous too early might not be a good thing. So, I’ll keep your secret and hope that you can join forces to fight against your enemies as you said, and not follow in the footsteps of that Mu family ancestor." Mu Ziqing saw Yan Yuchu’s pale face and knew he had fully realized the situation, so he didn’t explain further.
Although Mu Ziqing had promised to help, Yan Yuchu’s face did not look much better. Mu Hanyan could continue to hide much longer, but he had long been eager to proclaim, "I am a master," on his forehead. Could he still keep it a secret?
"Alas, had I known this, I wouldn’t have rushed to reveal my strength. I was set on seeking victory and acclaim, isn’t this seeking death?" Yan Yuchu sighed.
Mu Hanyan also felt some regret. She empathized with Yan Yuchu’s mindset; if her father hadn’t sent her traveling in time in her previous life, she might not have lived that long. Sometimes, she thought it would be better to remain a playboy for life, at least there wouldn’t be life-threatening danger.
However, having lived another life, she already knew that some things are beyond one’s control and must be faced bravely.
"Actually, you don’t need to worry too much. After all, the strength you have shown so far isn’t too formidable. Even if others attempt against you, you still might have the chance to ’play the pig to eat the tiger,’" Mu Hanyan comforted.
"’Play the pig to eat the tiger?’" Yan Yuchu pondered for a moment, and his frown gradually eased.
Although he had been a bit ostentatious before, cultivating the Heavenly Star Technique had a fatal weakness. Even if he found suitable followers to practice together, his achievements in this life would still be limited. However, with Mu Hanyan’s help, his strength could definitely reach a higher level.
This was actually a great opportunity for him to survive against all odds.
Of course, the premise was that this matter must remain confidential. With the previous lessons learned, he was now aware of the crisis and would not be as ostentatious as before. Read full story at novel-fire.net
"I understand, I will try my best to hide my strength," Yan Yuchu said seriously, nodding.
"You also don’t need to make it too obvious. Mixing the real with the unreal, that’s how you truly deceive others. With your straightforward demeanor, anyone can tell something is off," Mu Hanyan said.
"What should I do then?" Yan Yuchu, now aware of more inside information, was even more impressed with Mu Hanyan’s patience and humility, and asked.
"Simple, just do whatever you would normally do. If you need to indulge in food, drink, and women, then do it. If you need to bully and dominate, then do it. The key is to not let anyone notice anything unusual," Mu Hanyan said.
"Food, drink, women, bully, and dominate... I’ve never done any of these things," Yan Yuchu scratched his head.
"Haven’t you ever thought of learning?" Mu Hanyan glanced at him with visible irritation.
"Oh, it sounds like it could indeed be a good method to divert attention. I’ll give it a try," Yan Yuchu thought for a moment and said.
