Chapter 420: Did the miser become generous at 420?
CHAPTER 420: DID THE MISER BECOME GENEROUS AT 420?
"Brother Han Yan, what do you need us for?" Mu Yuying asked.
Mu Hanyan looked at Mu Yuying with interest. The girl’s complexion looked good, her face radiant with vitality, bearing no trace of the distress from their last encounter. It seemed that her past seven days spent with Jiang Yuzhe had been quite agreeable.
"I’ve got some good stuff for you." Mu Hanyan said, taking out a longsword and handing it to Mu Yuying.
"What a fine sword." Mu Yuying drew the blade without any coyness and was immediately greeted with a surge of coldness, prompting her to praise it loudly.
The others recognized the exceptional quality of the sword, watching Mu Yuying with envy.
"Don’t just stare at her; you all will get your share." Mu Hanyan said, then handed another longsword to Mu Ze.
Mu Ze drew the longsword and his face lit up with joy as well. The quality of this sword was no less than that of Mu Yuying’s—a rarity indeed.
Following that, Mu Hanyan distributed the rest of the longswords to the young generation based on their abilities.
With cherished weapons in hand, everyone was naturally excited and cheerfully noisy, adding a bustling warmth to the small courtyard.
"The Bishui Sword, this is the Bishui Sword!" Mu Ze exclaimed as he lovingly caressed the longsword in his hands.
"The Bishui Sword, wasn’t that bought for a hefty sum by the Great Elder ten years ago? I heard it was always treasured in the Treasure Vault. Could you be mistaken?" Mu Yuying questioned with skepticism.
They all knew the miserly nature of the Great Elder. Items easily went into the Treasure Vault but seldom came out. How could the Bishui Sword he had purchased for a high price possibly end up in Mu Hanyan’s hands?
"Indeed, this sword was taken from the Treasure Vault, and so were the ones you’re holding." Mu Hanyan realized then that no one knew of her fruitful return from the Treasure Vault.
This wasn’t surprising. If it weren’t for Housekeeper Geng’s clever idea to conceal all the worthy items, leaving just a few behind, she probably would have picked a few and left, never experiencing her subsequent fortune. Instead, he outsmarted himself, and she not only obtained the Heavenly Destiny Star Plate from Mu Tianlie but also the Great Elder’s years of collections in one fell swoop.
With such an embarrassing event, she wouldn’t mention it, and how would they dare to openly brag about it themselves?
"What, all these longswords were taken out from the Treasure Vault? When did the Great Elder become so generous?" Holding the longsword in her hands, Mu Yuying felt it was almost too hot to handle. They had long coveted the treasures of the Treasure Vault, but not even their parents’ generation could easily take anything of value from the hands of the Great Elder, who was like a miser, never would they have guessed he could be so liberal this time.
"Actually, the Great Elder prepared these items originally for the family, for all of you. He was just worried that you were too young and wouldn’t appreciate them. So this time, he let me take them out. You must not disappoint the Great Elder’s painstaking efforts and must cultivate well so as to be able to contribute to the family in the future." Mu Hanyan said solemnly.
Having lived through two lifetimes and being twice the age of these youths, her words carried the weight and authority of an older brother, naturally commanding respect.
"Yes, we understand. We will not disappoint the Great Elder’s painstaking efforts," said Mu Yuying and the others, moved to tears.
"Here, there are also some elixirs and cultivation techniques and whatnot. Just divide them among yourselves as you see fit." Mu Hanyan added generously.
"Yes, okay." Despite being moved, when it came to claiming their share, the young members of the Mu Family did not hold back at all, promptly dividing up the heap of remaining elixirs and cultivation techniques.
