Chapter 343: 343 is obviously instigating

"Lord City Master Yan, these elixirs and medicinal herbs are truly too precious; how could I have the audacity to accept them?" Even though Mu Hanyan was tempted, he didn’t want to take advantage of Yan Yuchu and thus spoke euphemistically.

"Young Master Mu need not be so polite; these things are of little use to me. My strength has already reached a bottleneck, and if I want to improve further, I must think of other methods. Of course, with your cultivation, I estimate you won’t need these things either. But at the very least, it’s a token of my sincerity; I hope Young Master Mu won’t look down on it." Yan Yuchu said, with an implied meaning.

Mu Hanyan suddenly understood; Yan Yuchu was clearly saying that if he wanted to enhance his abilities, he needed Mu Hanyan’s help; as for these items, they were nothing more than a favor given conveniently so that Mu Hanyan wouldn’t take them too seriously.

Once Mu Hanyan understood, the guard did too, showing an expression that said ’as expected’. Just look—Lord City Master used to guard these elixirs and various plants so jealously, and now, with a gesture of his hand, he gave them away, even explicitly stating it was a token of his sincerity—what else was there to doubt?

Such profound brotherhood, bursting with deep feelings!

"Then I shall accept with respect rather than decline such generosity; thank you, Lord City Master Yan." Mu Hanyan was not one to play coy; seeing that Yan Yuchu had made his point so clear, he accepted the gift under the envious gazes of Mu Yuying and others.

"Wait." Just then, Mu Ze stepped forward, shouting loudly.

"Brother Mu Ze, what’s wrong?" Mu Hanyan frowned and looked toward Mu Ze.

"City Lord Yan, you detained the disciples of the Mu Family without cause, and now you are fawning over us in all sorts of ways; what exactly is your intention? Do you really think the Mu Family is so easily bullied, to be detained and released at your whim?" As he saw Mu Hanyan smoothly take back Mu Ziqing without a fight and gain such a significant advantage for nothing, Mu Ze became more jealous and discontent; he could no longer bear it and burst forth.

"Heh, I indeed took a liking to Fourth Uncle Mu at first sight, and it was wrong of me to detain him reluctantly; but haven’t I already apologized? What more do you want?" Yan Yuchu was very cordial toward Mu Hanyan, but he showed much less patience with others; although he still wore a smile, his gaze became somewhat cold.

"No, we from the Mu Family are not so easily bullied. If you don’t give us a proper explanation today, we will not let this matter rest." Mu Ze didn’t notice his chilling gaze and continued to speak with great vehemence.

"What kind of explanation do you want? Surely you don’t intend to start a fight?" Yan Yuchu still wore a faint smile, but his eyes were growing colder.

Watching Mu Ze’s frustrated demeanor, he seemed to recall something. Let’s not forget, his and Mu Hanyan’s life experiences were strikingly similar; they both suffered from the disdain and ostracism of their own clan members from a young age. Guessing their thoughts was not difficult for him.

Mu Ze was taken aback; in his resentment, he had acted rashly, but what explanation did he actually want? In the end, he was simply indignant that Mu Hanyan had so easily rescued Mu Zi, while he had played the fool from the beginning to the end, losing face entirely.

"You’re the lord of a city, and moreover, a master rumored to be of the Sword Master Realm, yet you’re so timorous. As soon as you see our Brother Han Yan, you even lose the courage to fight. It’s not that I look down on you, but honestly, if it came to a fight, you wouldn’t be able to withstand even three moves from our Brother Han Yan. Yet you dare to bully the disciples of the Mu Family; you’re truly courting death." Mu Ze’s eyes swiveled, and he berated with these words, clearly trying to stir up trouble.
