Chapter 164: 164 Negative Example Big Playboy Mu

"Sun Yuzhe, you have such audacity. You learned only 30 percent of Master’s skills, and yet you deceive people outside. Even more audacious, you dare to deceive Master himself!" The young disciple hadn’t thought much about it, but he had some Eye Power and could see that Qu Shanling was displeased and disdainful, so he immediately took on borrowed authority to scold him.

"Back when we were fellow disciples learning together, you never respected any of us. And now, you dare to disregard Master too," another disciple also chided.

At this point, Mu Hanyan fully understood. This steward was actually quite capable, probably with a bit of ’the taller tree in the forest gets blown down hardest’ about him. Back when he was learning, his fellow disciples were jealous and shunned him. Now that Qu Shanling had been invited to Heishi City by him, other disciples were even more jealous and seized the opportunity to mock and scold him under the guise of obeying Master.

"Master, your disciple would never dare to mock your old self. Please, don’t look at Young Master Nan as young, but he is meticulous, loyal, and virtuous, possessing both talent and moral integrity. In the realm of business, he is exceptionally gifted—far superior to those spoiled, luxurious troublemakers who are playboys by the hundredfold, by the thousandfold." Housekeeper Sun hurriedly explained, and while doing so, he looked toward Mu Hanyan as if he wanted to use him as a negative example to highlight Mu Nan’s excellence.

Is he talking about me? Tsk, tsk, it seems I really am quite the negative example. Mu Hanyan thought to himself, resting his chin in his hand with self-aware acknowledgement.

"Don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to, daring to deceive even me, an old man. This is utterly unfilial and rebellious!" Qu Shanling exclaimed angrily.

He came to Heishi City with great expectations, only to find that Mu Nan and Sun Yuzhe had come to greet him just as he was about to enter the city, making him feel slighted and very annoyed.

If it had been someone else, simply getting the annoyance off his chest would have been enough, but he needed to maintain an air of superiority and calm detachment, requiring him not to react—even when two disciples mocked and ridiculed Qu Shanling, he had to step in to scold them, making him even more frustrated.

Harboring a frustration he had not yet vented, when he finally met Mu Nan in person, he found a reason to let his anger out.

Seeing him angry, Housekeeper Sun was so frightened his face turned pale.

"Senior Sun, neither the steward nor I have any intention of deceiving you. We invited you to Heishi City in all sincerity. Although young, I am confident in my abilities, and if you give me a little time, you will see that this trip to Heishi City is not in vain," Mu Nan said calmly, with confidence.

His composure did not seem that of a mere teenager; even Mu Hanyan nodded silently in approval.

"Hmph!" Qu Shanling had thought about leaving immediately but felt like leaving without accomplishing anything would be a loss. Surprised by Mu Nan’s composure, he momentarily suppressed his anger.

"Senior Qu, and two fellow disciples, why don’t we go to the auction event first and see how things go?" Mu Nan took the opportunity to suggest.

"Then let’s go and see. Show me what skills you have that make these unworthy disciples revere you so highly," Qu Shanling said with a cold face.

"This way, please, Master!" Seeing that Master was no longer angry for the moment, Housekeeper Sun breathed a sigh of relief and led them toward the carriage.

"By the way, Master, this is—" the steward started to introduce Mu Hanyan to Qu Shanling.

"No need to mention it. It doesn’t matter who he is," Qu Shanling said, stepping into the carriage without even giving Mu Hanyan a
