954 It’s All Business (2)
“The Medicine Valley has always been peaceful, and Junior Sister likes it, so naturally, I like it too.”

Peaceful.

There’s nothing special about the Medicine Valley, just its tranquility.

Now, while the Cloud Heaven Medicine Valley is stirring up various forces, Han Muye says it’s peaceful here?

Guan Yu’s eyes sparkled, nodding as he picked up the tea cup in front of him.

Good tea.

“This tea—”

Guan Yu’s gaze turned towards Han Muye.

“It’s called Sword Heart, illuminating the clarity of the sword’s intent, nurturing the essence of countless swords.”

“A catty for ten million spiritual rocks, however much you want.” Han Muye said casually.

Guan Yu’s hand holding the tea cup trembled imperceptibly.

Everything was different from what he had expected.

He had come here because Dan Mingtao left with a sullen face.

He was interested in Han Muye.

Even if it meant causing trouble for the Sword Pavilion, it was worth coming here.

However, he never expected that Han Muye would serve him such tea and say he could have as much as he wanted.

As much as he wanted?

Tea was good stuff.

More importantly, he needed this strength.

A thought crossed Guan Yu’s mind as he held the tea cup, took a sip, and then asked, “I wonder how much Dan Mingtao bought?”

He finally knew what was in the small bag Dan Mingtao was carrying when he left the small courtyard!

He also understood why Dan Mingtao had a gloomy expression!

At this realization, he almost burst into laughter.

But the result was a business transaction.

A business transaction that would definitely cause significant repercussions.

“Elder Dan was generous and bought 100 catties,” Han Muye said softly.

Generous?

A hundred catties.

Guan Yu couldn’t help but smile.

Dan Mingtao was a sword cultivator.

How much savings could a sword cultivator have?

To buy 100 catties of tea, this guy must have emptied his coffers.

No wonder he left with a gloomy face.

No matter how he thought about it, it was impossible for him to expect such an outcome…

Guan Yu burst into laughter, raised his hand, and slapped a jade box onto the table.

Han Muye reached out and took it, nodded, and took out two small bags.

200 catties of tea leaves.

Guan Yu didn’t stay in the courtyard for long. After exchanging a few pleasantries, he picked up the two small bags and left, swaying as he walked.

Mu Wan approached Han Muye, a trace of concern on her face.

“What’s wrong? Do you think Senior Brother will shoot himself in the foot while dealing with these large sects?” Han Muye asked with a smile.

Mu Wan shook her head and whispered, “I’m afraid that the tea you prepared won’t be enough, Senior Brother.”

Han Muye burst into laughter.

His junior sister had always been a little obsessed with money!

When Zhao Yu arrived, he saw Guan Yu holding two small bags at the door with a smile on his face.

Seeing Han Muye laugh, Zhao Yu’s expression became even more unpleasant.

“Brother Han.”

Zhao Yu stared at Han Muye as Han Muye raised his hand and collected the tea cups from the table.

“It has been nearly a hundred years since we last parted ways, and during this time, Brother Zhao has made great progress in his cultivation,” Han Muye said with a smile.

Indeed, Zhao Yu had made significant progress in his cultivation.

But to his ears, Han Muye’s words sounded somewhat grating.
“Not as good as Prime Minister Han.”

Minister Han.

The Heavenly Mystic’s Minister Han stirred up a storm in the Dao battle.

Even Dan Mingtao said that Han Muye was extraordinary.

Han Muye shook his head and sighed softly. “If it weren’t for the circumstances, I would only want to be a peaceful sword cultivator.”

In the hundred years of the Dao battle, Han Muye had been maneuvering between various major forces, always teetering on the edge of death and destruction with the slightest misstep.

Looking back, winning the Dao competition and opening the Immortal Ascension Platform, it felt like a dream.

Amidst the scheming of so many powerful figures, being able to preserve the Heavenly Mystic was truly a difficult and arduous journey known only to himself.

Zhao Yu looked at Han Muye in silence for a moment.

He had crossed swords with Han Muye, and they had also exchanged knowledge about swordsmanship on the Suwei Star.

Based on his understanding of Han Muye, what Han Muye was saying now wasn’t a lie.

But with the great changes happening in the world, would people’s hearts also undergo changes?

“Senior Brother Han, do you remember what you said before about exploring a secluded place for cultivating the sword path until enlightenment?” Zhao Yu spoke up.

Back in the Suwei world, Han Muye and Zhao Yu had made that agreement.

Han Muye nodded and said, “Of course I remember.”

Zhao Yu looked at Han Muye. “If possible, I plan to go there in a month. Do you have the time, Senior Brother Han?”

A month later?

Han Muye turned to look at Mu Wan and smiled. “Junior Sister, you’ve been in the Medicine Valley for so many years without going out to explore. How about this time we go and investigate with Brother Zhao?”

Mu Wan nodded happily.

Frowning slightly, Zhao Yu didn’t refuse outright but remained silent.

When he returned to the Sword Pavilion’s base, he reported this matter.

“Exploring a secret place is never without danger. Is Han Muye doing this out of caution, or does he have another purpose?” A green-robed sword cultivator’s face showed a look of doubt.

“Bringing along a female alchemy cultivator, does he really think searching for a secret place is just a leisurely outing?” On the other side, a white-robed sword cultivator snorted coldly.

At the head of the table, Dan Mingtao waved his hand and said lightly, “If Zhao Yu is confident, then lead them on the trip.

“If he is willing to go, it shows that his thoughts are not focused on the Medicine Valley.

“Our previous assumptions may have been wrong.”

A month later, various factions would be running out of options and begin pressuring the Medicine Valley.

Han Muye’s departure would make it clear that he didn’t want to get involved in the affairs of the Medicine Valley.

By taking Mu Wan with him, he was expressing his intentions and completely distancing himself from the Medicine Valley.

This also exemplified the characteristic of a strategist who wouldn’t stand under a crumbling wall.

Such actions were in line with the traits of a cunning leader.

But then, did he really come to the Medicine Valley just for his Dao?

Li Qingshi only found out that Han Muye and Mu Wan were going to explore the secret place with Zhao Yu a month later when he visited Han Muye.
