Mu Hanyan, Ye Lanfeng, and Qian Ji emerge from an illusion, realizing they know each other from childhood. Mu Hanyan bonds with a mysterious egg, suspecting it's a Phoenix egg. She instructs Ye Lanfeng and Qian Ji to only injure Chen Ziyu, not kill him. When Mu Hanyan jokes about offering herself to them if they weren't ugly, Ye Lanfeng and Qian Ji reveal their handsome faces, stunning her. They then agree to find treasures before leaving the secret realm, despite Mu Hanyan's initial desire to keep them close.

The good thing is, Han Yan won’t have a good face for these two, and he won’t have to worry about them benefiting from being close to her anymore. The bad thing is, these two actually made Han Yan so angry, damn it!

However, now is not the time to teach them a lesson. It’s not because Chen Ziyu is soft-hearted, but because his legs feel weak right now.

"Cough, cough..." Chen Ziyu felt his heart churning, coughed twice, then forcibly suppressed his discomfort, and stood up to walk towards Mu Hanyan.

"Junior Sister Han Yan." Despite his pale complexion, Chen Ziyu managed a smile as he approached Mu Hanyan.

"Brother Chen." Mu Hanyan could clearly see that the person in front of her was badly injured, and it was obvious that Ye Lanfeng and Fen Qianji had played tricks.

"Junior Sister Han Yan, were you alright when you went down there? I always felt this place is very eerie, very dangerous." Chen Ziyu asked worriedly.

"I’m fine." Mu Hanyan shook her head gently, "But Brother Chen, you seem to be seriously injured. What happened?" Of course, it was those two shameless fellows who plotted against him, Mu Hanyan answered herself in her heart.

"I probably accidentally triggered a prohibition here, it’s no big deal. No need to worry, Junior Sister Han Yan." Chen Ziyu smiled.

No, I’m not worried about you at all, really.

Mu Hanyan rolled her eyes inwardly.

"Brother Chen, you’d better be careful, I’m going to wait at the entrance." Mu Hanyan showed a polite smile, then quickly left without waiting for Chen Ziyu to respond.

Chen Ziyu stared blankly at Mu Hanyan’s back, his heart filled with bitterness. When will he ever appear in Han Yan’s eyes?

...

After completing the training, Fuhua Peak’s results were quite good. Upon returning to Fuhua Peak, Mu Hanyan wanted to ask her father about the egg she had been carrying.

"You all should come with me. You’ve been initiated for a while; it’s time you meet your master." Mu Hanyan decided to take Ye Lanfeng and the others to see her father.

Then she happily led her three junior brothers to the most secluded side hall behind the main hall of Fuhua Peak. The further they walked, the more puzzled Jin Yuguang became.

"Senior Sister, I remember Senior Brother said the Master is in seclusion. Are we disturbing his seclusion?" Jin Yuguang asked with some trepidation.

"Yes." Mu Hanyan replied briefly.

"Is this the place for secluded cultivation?" Fen Qianji asked.

"It looks more like the place where the Peak Master lives." Ye Lanfeng also spoke.

"Exactly." Mu Hanyan answered matter-of-factly, "My father’s idea of seclusion is staying home to sleep or play. Or else pretending to be in secluded cultivation while secretly sneaking out."

"Sneak out?" Jin Yuguang found Mu Hanyan’s words hard to digest.

"Sneak out just to have fun." Mu Hanyan added another sentence.

Ye Lanfeng and the other two fell silent.

This is not the image of Fuhua Peak’s Peak Master known to the outside world!

"What kind of person have you heard my father is from outside?" Mu Hanyan seemed to hear their thoughts and asked.

"A powerful, carefree expert."

"Unsullied, a Banished Immortal, the strongest in Canglan Sect."

"Not easily amused, staring at someone could scare them to the point of wetting themselves." After Jin Yuguang spoke, Ye Lanfeng and Fen Qianji’s gazes turned somewhat strange, and Mu Hanyan looked at him with a kind of affectionate gaze reserved for the mentally challenged.

"My father..." Mu Hanyan paused, her expression becoming complicated, "my father is somewhat unreliable, very lazy. Although he is strong, he wouldn’t scare someone just by glaring at them..." Mu Hanyan felt embarrassed to finish the last sentence.

"Anyway, you’ll know once you have more contact with him in the future." Mu Hanyan didn’t want to say more, so she led the three into the side hall, allowing them to wait in the lobby while she went to find Mu Rui’an.

Before long, Mu Hanyan emerged with a dark face, followed by a young man with a flattering expression.

This is the Peak Master of Fuhua Peak?

Ye Lanfeng and the others looked at the young man appearing before them. This person was quite handsome, bearing some resemblance to Mu Hanyan. Originally, such a handsome person would have an extraordinary demeanor, but the flattering smile on his face ruined everything. And the man seemed like he had just gotten up? Don’t ask them how they noticed. It’s because the man hadn’t even washed his face, didn’t they see the corner of his eyes still had sleep crust?

Jin Yuguang opened his mouth wide, unable to believe his eyes.

Is this the Peak Master of Fuhua Peak? Is this the immensely powerful Mu Rui’an? Is the strongest person in Canglan Sect as rumored... like this?

"Oh dear, Little Han Yan, your father didn’t expect you to come over so early." Mu Rui’an said to Mu Hanyan with a flattering face.

"Oh, it’s almost noon, and you call it early? If I hadn’t come over, you wouldn’t even have gotten up from bed?" Mu Hanyan asked coolly.

"Ah..." Mu Rui’an was a bit dumbfounded; he seemed to have said something wrong.

"Father, these are the disciples Senior Brother collected for you on your behalf. This is the fifth junior brother Ye Lanfeng, the sixth junior brother Fen Qianji, and the seventh junior brother Jin Yuguang." Mu Hanyan spoke irritably and then turned to the three junior brothers and said, "This is your master."

"Greetings to Master." The three bowed simultaneously.

"Ye Lanfeng? Fen Qianji? One from the Divine Clan, one from the Demon Clan. What are you doing in Canglan Sect? Want to be spies?" Mu Rui’an narrowed his eyes with a dangerous tone as he looked at the two below.

Divine Clan? Demon Clan?

Mu Hanyan was taken aback. Although she knew these two had extraordinary cultivation, she hadn’t expected their identities to be so special. Jin Yuguang was even more shocked, his mouth wide enough to swallow a double-yolked egg.

"Master has sharp eyes. I am indeed from the Divine Clan." Ye Lanfeng didn’t dodge or hide, meeting Mu Rui’an’s evaluating gaze, speaking neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Since I was young, I was captivated by Senior Sister Han Yan, so I came to Canglan Sect just to follow her."

"Nothing can be hidden from Master. I am of the Demon Clan." Fen Qianji also bluntly confessed, "When I was young, Senior Sister helped me, and from then I was determined to become strong and forever guard her."

Jin Yuguang’s mouth opened wider; he felt like he’d heard something unbelievable.

Mu Hanyan had not anticipated that these two would be so frank, frank enough to make her feel a bit awkward.

"Oh, quite ambitious." Mu Rui’an sneered coldly, then directly sat down, narrowing his eyes to assess the two, "Since that’s the case, you can stay. If Han Yan ends up liking you, I’ll kill you myself."

Hm?

Ye Lanfeng and Fen Qianji were puzzled.

Something seems off about these words. Father-in-law, why aren’t you following the script?

Who Han Yan might fancy should be followed by some kind of assessment, then approval of whoever ends up with her, right?

Jin Yuguang shrunk his neck, why did he feel a bit of danger here?
