Though Her Eyes Could Not See, Her Heart Was Clear
The news that Mu Qingyan, the eldest daughter of the Mu Clan, was to marry Master Yan Hua spread like wildfire throughout Tan City.
Upon hearing this news, all the factions in Tan City couldn't help but sigh, realizing that the Mu Clan had truly fallen into ruin.
Back in the day, when the Mu Clan patriarch Mu Yinglun, was still alive, every master weapon refiner in the world addressed him as Master Mu.
But now, the eldest daughter of the Mu Clan has chosen to marry Master Yan Hua.
You should know that Master Yan Hua is actually older than the late patriarch of the Mu Clan.
A delicate young girl marrying such an old man has not only caused the Mu Clan to decline, but also to lose all sense of shame.
Although Mu Qingyan has become blind and disabled, she is still the eldest daughter of the Mu Clan, and that identity is unchangeable.
Although it's said that powerful families are ruthless, if the Mu Clan still had any sense of shame, they would at least find a decent husband for a young lady like Mu Qingyan, right?
Even if they aren't from other noble families, they should at least be of some similar rank, right?
But now, by marrying Mu Qingyan off to an old man older than her grandfather, the Mu Clan has truly lost all sense of shame...
Of course, not everyone thinks that Mu Qingyan marrying Master Yan Hua is a bad thing; in fact, many people say that the Mu Clan's choice is not wrong.
The Mu Clan is no longer the same as it used to be. Although the current head of the Mu Clan, Mu Chengkun, is still quite outstanding, he wouldn't even be considered a master in Tan City Mu Chengkun, let alone in the current ranking of the world's top weapon refiners.
The Mu Clan was once a prominent force throughout the entire Blazing Sun Continent, but what about now?
This time, news has emerged that after the Mu Clan married Mu Qingyan to Master Yan Hua, Master Yan Hua is willing to train several geniuses for the Mu Clan in order to ensure that the Mu Clan can rise again.
Therefore, exchanging Mu Qingyan for the Future of the Mu Clan is a worthwhile trade...
After all, no matter how outstanding Mu Qingyan was in the past, Mu Qingyan is now just a worthless cripple. What's wrong with using such a cripple to secure the Future of the Lineage?
The wedding became the talk of the Tan City for everyone in Tancheng.
In contrast to the discussions in Tan City, the Mu Clan is now adorned with red and colorful decorations.
Almost all Mu Clan were extremely satisfied with Mu Qingyan's marriage to Master Yan Hua, because once Mu Qingyan wedding was over, Master Yan Hua would select several disciples from the Mu Clan.
In other words, all of them could potentially be selected and trained by Master Yan Hua.
With the opportunity to learn from Master Yan Hua, wouldn't one become a master weapon refiner in the Future?
The Mu Clan was overjoyed to have exchanged such an opportunity for a worthless woman like Mu Qingyan.
Mu Qinglian is Mu Qingyan's younger sister... At this moment, Mu Qinglian and her servants are arranging things in her sister's room...
Although they are biological sisters, Mu Qinglian's gaze towards Mu Qingyan revealed absolutely no sisterly affection.
There was even a hint of mockery in his eyes.
When she was a child, Mu Qinglian felt like she was invisible because her older sister Mu Qingyan, was so outstanding.
Why should all the Lineage's resources belong to Mu Qingyan?
Why should everyone have to go along with Mu Qingyan?
Why should Mu Qingyan get whatever she wants? I, Mu Qinglian, am just as outstanding!
Later, after Mu Qingyan went blind, Mu Qinglian not only did not feel sad about her sister's blindness, but she was even extremely happy.
After my sister went blind, someone finally saw my talent, Mu Qinglian, and all sorts of resources began to flow towards Mu Qinglian.
This gave Mu Qinglian, who had lived in the shadow of her older sister's genius since childhood, a sense of triumph.
But Mu Qinglian was wrong... She thought she could replace Mu Qingyan, but in the days that followed, she found that no matter how hard she tried, she could only live in her sister's shadow!
"Qinglian... how can you be so stupid? Qingyan learned these techniques after just one viewing, but you've been studying them for half a month and still can't remember them..."
"Qinglian... do you know that your older sister was already countless times more advanced than you at your age...?"
"Qinglian... your sister can remember the properties of these ingredients at a glance, but why do you always forget them?"
The words of her father and the elders who taught her the art of weapon crafting made Mu Qinglian realize that the shadow of her sister's genius had never been dispelled.
No matter how hard I try, I will still be compared to my sister and belittled mercilessly!
Mu Qinglian didn't understand. Why? What was the right? Mu Qingyan was already a cripple.
She's blind, why are you comparing her to me?
When Mu Qingyan was to marry Master Yan Hua, Mu Qinglian not only didn't feel sad for her sister, but was even overjoyed.
Mu Qingyan, in everyone's eyes you are stronger than me, but in the end you can only marry a decrepit old man!
As for me, Mu Qinglian, I will follow this old geezer to learn the art of weapon forging. In the Future, my name, Mu Qinglian, will be remembered by the Three Continents. They will only remember me, Mu Qinglian, while you Mu Qingyan, are just a joke!
"Sister... I must congratulate you... on becoming Master Yan Hua's legal wife... but I've heard that you're already Master Yan Hua's sixth legal wife..." Mu Qinglian's face was full of mockery. She knew she didn't need to pretend to congratulate him, because her sister wouldn't see it at all!
"My elder sister became Master Yan Hua 'Yan Hua legal wife, while I can only become his disciple. In the Future, I will also have to learn the art of weapon crafting. Sigh... it's so difficult. But for the sake of the whole Lineage, no matter how difficult it is, I, your younger sister, will strive to become the world's most renowned female weapon crafter!"
Mu Qinglian's face was filled with anticipation for the Future.
But as soon as Mu Qinglian finished speaking, she realized that her sister seemed not to have heard her at all. In fact, Mu Qinglian could not see the slightest sadness on her sister Mu Qingyan's face!
Even at this moment, her sister still had a faint smile on her face. Mu Qinglian could tell that the smile was not a forced one, but a genuine smile from the bottom of her heart!
But the happiness on her sister's face only fueled Mu Qinglian's anger!
How dare you! You, Mu Qingyan, are a useless piece of trash! You Mu Qingyan, are just blind!
What gives you the right to be happy! You're a piece of trash, what right do you have to be happy?
How dare you, a piece of trash, be happier than me Mu Qinglian?
"Sister may not know yet, but Father said he has found a handsome young man from Tan City to be my husband. We will get married after I return from studying under Master Yan Hua. Although that young man is very handsome, he can't Dharma Aspect to a great figure like Master Yan Hua. Sister is so lucky! I'm so envious..."
"Oh, by the way... Sister, do you think if I study under Master Yan Hua, I can become the world's number one female weapon refiner in the Future?"
After Mu Qinglian unleashed her attack, Mu Qingyan finally spoke up.
"Sister... I don't know how to answer you about this, but I know that how high a person can go depends on themselves. They can't rely on others forever. As for becoming Master Yan Hua's apprentice, you don't need to have too high expectations. You should focus on learning the weapon-forging techniques of our Mu Clan. The weapon-forging techniques left by Grandpa are already one of the most advanced in the world, so why go to such lengths?"
"What do you mean? Are you saying I'm not talented enough?" Despite Mu Qinglian's various provocations, Mu Qingyan broke down, but Mu Qingyan did.
"Sister, you're overthinking it. You're outstanding, I've known that since you were little. It's just that I won't be marrying Master Yan Hua this time, so I'm afraid you won't be able to become his disciple!"
"Haha... Sister... Are you joking? Everyone knows you're going to marry Master Yan Hua. It's not like you can just refuse!" Mu Qinglian's face showed a hint of madness.
Mu Qingyan smiled calmly and said, "Sister, if I don't want to marry Master Yan Hua, then I don't have to!"
"Mu Qingyan! Stop dreaming! Your marriage to Master Yan Hua is a done deal. Even if you die, your body will be sent to Master Yan Hua!" Mu Qinglian was already somewhat insane.
Mu Qingyan did not answer her sister's question... because Mu Qingyan knew that although she was blind and could not see the world, her heart was clear.
You can never wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep or blind, because even if their eyes can see the world, their heart is blind!
Mu Qingyan had given her younger sister countless pieces of advice when they were young. Mu Qinglian's talent was not bad, but compared to herself, the gap was really too big.
Mu Qingyan has never flaunted her talent in front of her younger sister since childhood, but her sister insists on living in her shadow and always wants to compete with her in everything.
Given Mu Qinglian's talent, even if Future couldn't reach the top, she would still have some fame in Tan City.
Mu Qinglian always measured everything against herself, comparing herself to her past self. As a result, she lost herself and her path in weapon crafting became increasingly narrow.
Mu Qingyan knew that nothing she said to her younger sister would make a difference, because everything she said would be seen as a mockery in her sister's eyes...
Mu Qinglian is gone, taking her with her to become Master Yan Hua's apprentice. The dream of Future becoming the world's greatest female weapon refiner is gone...
The entire Mu Clan was also decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations.
Master Yan Hua's betrothal gifts were also sent to the Mu Clan. These gifts were not meager and were befitting Mu Qingyan's status!
The Mu Clan was overjoyed with the betrothal gifts sent by Master Yan Hua. They didn't want to wait until the 5th of next month and even wanted to send Mu Qingyan to Master Yan Hua on the spot!
Just as the entire Mu Clan was overjoyed at the prospect of marrying Mu Qingyan to Master Yan Hua.
Huan'er has also arrived in the Haotian Mountain Range!
Huan'er was born in Tan City. Although she was sold into the Mu Clan as a maid, Mu Qingyan never treated Huan'er as a servant and always treated her as a Huan'er.
So Huan'er had a pretty good childhood, but later Mu Qingyan became a cripple, Huan'er also faced extreme hardship because of Mu Qingyan's loss of power.
But no matter how difficult things got, Huan'er never thought of leaving her mistress's side.
Today, Huan'er, holding her mistress's little hammer, has arrived at the Haotian Mountain Range, just a step away from the Vast Heaven Holy Land...
But Huan'er didn't know if someone like Ouyang Ming, the world's number one weapon refiner, would really remember his promise to his young lady.
Can this little hammer really change the young lady's fate?
