Mu Hanyan was still pondering.
Her strength had increased incredibly fast, and too bizarrely. Others might think it was due to the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill, but Mu Cheng had followed her to the Longyan Mountain and had seen how she unexpectedly defeated Zong Dingfang and He Songhua. Naturally, he would not believe that a Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill alone could enhance her power to such a realm.
When they saw Ye Lanfeng step in to help, attributing everything to him seemed reasonable.
No wonder this guy had been acting weird lately. It turned out to be for this reason. Mu Hanyan hadn’t expected that she would inadvertently draw on his influence like waving a huge banner.
Seeing how eager Mu Cheng was to take Ye Lanfeng as his mentor, even going as far as to subtly tarnish her reputation in his eagerness, Mu Hanyan wasn’t angry; only secretly amused.
This Mu Cheng, although of average natural talent, possessed an unusually persistent cultivation spirit. Mu Hanyan remembered that his future achievements would surpass Mu Feng by far. The only issue was his obstinacy, not just in cultivation but in other matters as well, which was why he was always being toyed with by Fourth Miss Zhao.
No, she could not let him continue to be blinded by Fourth Miss Zhao. It was time to wake him up. In another life, Mu Cheng only realized the truth when Zhao Zhou and several families suddenly moved against the Mu Family. Even though Zhao Zhou and the others ultimately failed, Mu Cheng still faced unanimous criticism from the Mu Family members due to his ambiguous relationship with Fourth Miss Zhao.
This was a major stain in his life; even after his cultivation far surpassed Mu Feng’s, he still lived under a cloud of gloom. Mu Hanyan thought if it weren’t for the shadow this incident had cast on his heart, his achievements might have been even greater.
If this had been earlier, Mu Hanyan couldn’t care less about his fate, and watching the disaster unfold would have been quite amusing. But now, she didn’t want him to repeat the same mistakes.
Hearing Mu Cheng subtly slander her, Ye Lanfeng naturally felt some displeasure, but seeing Mu Hanyan’s amused expression, he realized she wasn’t taking it to heart, and his slightly furrowed brows relaxed.
Zhou Binghai, having followed Ye Lanfeng for many years, understood his disposition and was internally shocked by the scene.
When had the master’s mood ever been so easily influenced by others?
But with his status, was this really okay?
"Do you truly wish to take me as your master?" Ye Lanfeng asked.
"With all my earnest sincerity, I hope the senior will fulfill this wish," Mu Cheng, sensing an opportunity from Ye Lanfeng’s tone, immediately kowtowed again, excitedly saying, "As long as the senior is willing to accept me as his disciple, even if it means death, I will have no complaints."

"Get up first. Being accepted as my disciple is not so simple. I’m currently occupied with other matters and don’t have the time to assess your character. However, I have already accepted Mu Hanyan as my disciple. For now, follow him for a while. Serve your senior apprentice well and make him happy, and perhaps I’ll agree to accept you as my disciple," Ye Lanfeng said with a teasing smile on his lips, cocking his head slightly as he glanced at Mu Hanyan, giving her a suggestive eyebrow raise.
Hey, hey, hey, since when did I become your disciple? That’s taking advantage of me! Mu Hanyan rolled her eyes but didn’t voice out her thoughts.
