Han Yan couldn't help but secretly chuckle. She of course knew her mother's words were spoken in anger, yet she felt a quirky and satisfying delight seeing her father looking so cowed. After all, it was unlikely that anyone else would get to see her father in such a diminished state, and she felt fortunate to have the opportunity—why not enjoy the free show?
Yue Fanling hugged Han Yan, giving her much advice before finally letting go. She then gestured towards Mu Rui'an, who was still squatting in the corner like a poisoned mushroom. Mu Rui'an quickly sprang to his feet, as if resurrected, and began to instruct Han Yan on her tasks.
"Alright, pack up, meet with the elders, then you're off," said Mu Rui'an.
"Who else is going?" Han Yan inquired.
"Han Feng should have gone, but he has not yet returned from his training. Therefore, this time it'll be just you, Mu Feng, and the Second Elder's Mu Cheng," Mu Rui'an explained.
