Chapter 346: Enemies on a narrow road

Seeing Mu Hanyan and the others enter the teahouse, sipping hot tea and munching on pastries, Mu Ze’s stomach embarrassingly began to growl.

Forget it, he couldn’t just go back to Heishi City feeling starved. Mu Ze rummaged through his bag, glanced at the last few pieces of dry rations, and decided to set aside his pride and fill his stomach first.

Qi Transformation Pills were too precious, and he hadn’t been willing to use them for healing, so he limped towards the teahouse. In reality, Yan Yuchu had left him some dignity, or perhaps it was out of respect for Mu Hanyan. Although the beating seemed brutal, it was all superficial skin wounds, and the pain had just been intense in the moment—nothing serious. After all, if he had been hurt too badly, it wouldn’t have been easy for Mu Hanyan to explain upon returning.

"Brother Mu, have a seat here," Mu Yuying beckoned, shuffling over to make some space.

Seeing Mu Hanyan pass the Qi Transformation Pill to Mu Ze, they understood that he bore no grudge for what had happened before, still treating Mu Ze like a brother. While admiring his magnanimity, they were also secretly pleased—after all, they were relatives, and no one wished to see them become enemies.

"Brother Mu, sit here with me, Brother Mu, sit here with me," Jiang Yuzhe changed his previous animosity towards Mu Ze and said enthusiastically.

"What business do you have being so solicitous?" Mu Yuying couldn’t help but take a dislike to Jiang Yuzhe and said with displeasure.

"Who says it has nothing to do with me? We’re going to be one family in the future, naturally, we should get closer," Jiang Yuzhe said, winking and making faces.

"Who’s going to be one family with you? Don’t spout nonsense," Mu Yuying’s face went slightly red as something crossed her mind.

"In the future Jiang Yuzhe will follow me, so we can also be considered one family," Mu Hanyan said seriously, yet his eyes clearly showed a teasing light.

"I have nothing to do with him, whether you all are one family is your business," Mu Yuying was no fool and could not miss the teasing intent in his eyes, her face growing even redder.

Mu Yuying was soft on the outside but tough inside, and Mu Xitian and others had never seen her show such a blush before; they couldn’t help but burst into hearty laughter.

Amidst the laughter and joy, even Jiang Yuzhe, once an intimidating figure to Mu Family’s disciples, seemed to blend in unknowingly.

Mu Ze felt quite emotional. Although he had interacted with these younger siblings plenty, there had always been an indescribable sense of detachment. He had never experienced such a scene like this.

Mu Ze glanced at Mu Hanyan again and suddenly realized that, aside from the bad reputation in the rumors, he was actually quite easy to get along with. Of course, that seemed to apply only to his family members because to outsiders, he didn’t seem so approachable—for instance, Fourth Miss Zhao and Yuan Tianbo were prime examples.

The group chatted and laughed, hiding in the cool teahouse, drinking tea, and enjoying the pastries, a truly rare and comfortable moment.

"Senior Qu, please, this way." Just then, a few more people approached the teahouse.

The person in the lead walked with an imposing gait, commanding presence, while another older man and a middle-aged man followed behind him, both looking extremely respectful.

"Have you found the whereabouts of that person you were told to investigate last time?" The leading man inquired arrogantly.

"We haven’t found any news yet, but since he chose to enter the Longyan Mountains from Dragon Whisker City, he must be a Family member from nearby. We’ve arranged for disciples to search everywhere; we should have some information before long," the older man by his side answered.

"Good, make sure you find him. With his strength, he probably won’t be able to refine the Dragon Blood Stone anytime soon. If we find him, we still have a chance," the leading elder nodded and said.
