Chapter 313: The pain deep in the heart of 313

"You, you, and you, do you not know what sort of character Han Yan is? Don’t think he’s anything special just because he helped Yuying break the siege. If it weren’t for his father’s help, would he have been able to learn the Shadowless Sword Technique, to fight against Jiang Yuzhe? You’re all deluded, actually banding together with this kind of person; you wouldn’t even know how you were killed because of him!" Mu Ze grew more angry as he thought about it, unleashing a torrent of abuse towards Mu Yuying and the others.

"Brother Mu Ze, according to the family’s orders, we were originally supposed to follow Brother Han Yan’s commands," Mu Xitian said, embarrassed by the scolding, trying to offer an explanation.

"Would you go die if the family told you to?" Mu Ze gave Mu Xitian a cold glance and said, "Forget it, it’s your business if you want to take the blame for him; I won’t accompany you in that."

After saying that, Mu Ze no longer paid any attention to everyone else and turned to walk out the door.

Mu Xitian and Mu Yuying looked at each other, none of them expecting his mind to be so narrow, undecided on how to even begin persuading him.

More importantly, although they no longer trusted Mu Ze as they did in the past, they also felt that he wasn’t wrong; the only reason Han Yan shone today and defeated Jiang Yuzhe was because of his father from the Capital’s Zong Family.

Without receiving the Shadowless Sword Technique from Mu Rui’an early on, how could he have overcome Jiang Yuzhe?

Even his current strength as a Sixth-tier Swordsman, wasn’t that also because Mu Rui’an had privately given him the family’s meridian clearing and marrow washing concoction?

At the end of the day, he’s just an uneducated playboy, at most more responsible than other playboys.

Is such a person really worthy of trust? Mu Xitian and the others began to have their doubts.

Noticing the doubtful glances from Mu Xitian and the others, Han Yan’s heart still trembled slightly.

Although she had already learned the truth behind her family being sent to Heishi City, and even though her disposition was much more mature than her outward appearance after living two lifetimes, similarly, she had been repressing her resentment for those two lifetimes. The doubtful looks from Mu Xitian and others accidentally struck a deep, painful chord within her.

She didn’t want to keep enduring like this, nor wanted to be looked down upon forever, didn’t want to be constantly misunderstood by the family. This time, no matter what, she had to complete the mission, to rescue Mu Ziqing.

"Everyone, go and rest. We will leave for Xiushui City early tomorrow to bring the Fourth Young Master back," Han Yan looked at Mu Xitian and the others, declaring firmly.

The Second Elder wanted to use this opportunity to make things difficult for her, Mu Feng and Mu Ze were waiting to mock her, weren’t they? Then let them watch carefully, she thought, to see who would have the last laugh.

Hearing Han Yan’s resolute words full of confidence, Mu Ze paused for a moment, his expression darkening, and walked out.

The banquet had gone on until now, and everyone was more or less satisfied with food and drink; Mu Ze’s outburst had also dampened the mood, so they followed Han Yan’s instructions and returned to their rooms.

Upon Han Yan’s signal, Huayue and a few others left early. In the spacious dining hall, only Han Yan and Jiang Yuzhe remained.

"Was what happened earlier intentional on your part?" Han Yan had long harbored doubts about Jiang Yuzhe’s intentions, and without any pretense, she directly asked.

"Originally, I wanted to see if Mu Hanfeng or Mu Feng from the Mu Family were worth my, Jiang Yuzhe’s, allegiance. I didn’t expect to meet neither, but I met you instead. Nevertheless, although the course of events went entirely against my expectations, even leading me to feel utterly disheartened, the outcome wasn’t too bad; you didn’t disappoint me." Jiang Yuzhe picked up his wine cup, swirled it, set it down, and said with a bitter smile.
