"By the way, check if there’s some unsightly jerk to bully a bit, to relax and unwind," Han Yan added another sentence.
"Ah, sure, sure," Zirong, whose nature was obviously not yet deep enough, immediately became excited at the mention of bullying someone.
Ever since the last time they took care of Yuan Tianbo and Fourth Miss Zhao, Zirong found that their potential for violence and wicked taste had been greatly unleashed, achieving great psychological satisfaction and discovering joy in life, becoming endlessly enthusiastic about it.
Seeing Zirong’s excited face, Han Yan began to doubt if this was really the renown Demon Sword Zirong, famous for her cold and cunning ways. It seemed that rebirth had changed not only herself but many others as well, all influenced by her.
"Don’t do anything stupid," Huayue said blankly from the side, suddenly dropping such a remark.
"Talk about yourself. Last time, the Young Master only asked you to stall someone, yet you went all out fighting them. Who’s the one doing stupid things?" Zirong looked at Huayue with contempt, expressing her disdain.
Huayue’s mouth twitched rarely, and she silently lowered her head; however, her heart was touched, obviously recalling what Han Yan had said at that time.
Han Yan chuckled inwardly at the interaction between these two, finding it rather amusing. She then led the way forward, yet not toward the exit of the City Lord’s Mansion, but to the backyard.
Though Mu Rui’an was both the City Lord of Heishi City and the Family Head of the Mu Family, the two roles should not be conflated. The City Lord’s Mansion and the Mu Family Mansion were built on separate grounds, only connected by a small gate in the backyard of the City Lord’s Mansion, leading to the Mu Family Courtyard.
"Aren’t we going to bully someone?" Zirong asked, puzzled, noticing that Han Yan looked a bit off and quickly correcting herself, "Oh, no, we’re looking for treasures to enhance cultivation."
"Do you know where to find them?" Han Yan asked. Of course, her face looked off because she wondered if she might lead Zirong even further astray. Could it be that in the future, when people speak of Demon Sword Zirong’s shrewdness and cunning, they would blame it on her "bad influence" while they followed the young master of the Mu Family?
At that moment, Han Yan had no idea that her casual thoughts would hit the nail on the head, that in the future, when people spoke of the notorious Demon Sword Zirong’s cunning, it would all fall on Han Yan’s head, believing that she had a great influence on Zirong. Though that was true to some extent, it was mainly because Zirong’s own nature was already twisted! Google seaʀᴄh novęlfire.net
Zirong shook her head. Heishi City was not large or bustling, and although some cultivation items could be found in the market, their quality was low and not much help to Han Yan now.
Seeing how composed Han Yan appeared, Zirong, who had already seen many surprises from her, started to find this playboy noble a more and more mysterious figure, so without further questions, followed her.
At this time, Han Yan indeed had a plan; if her memory served correctly, there was a treasure about to appear during this period, exactly what could help her increase her strength.
She needed to become stronger—and quickly!
And Han Yan had not anticipated that during this treasure hunt, she would meet him—the one she had bumped into at the city gates after the Meteor Shower, the one... who in this life became entangled with her, who treasured her dearly, keeping her close to his heart—Ye Lanfeng.
The guard stationed at the gate had the fortune to witness Han Yan’s match with Mu Feng and, upon seeing her approach, hurried to salute respectfully, not daring to ask any extra questions.
Arriving at the Mu Family Courtyard, Han Yan went straight to a secluded small yard, the residence of Mu Nan. The treasure she was looking for had something to do with Mu Nan, and she had to find him to get it.
