Chapter 391: Chapter 392: He Who Doesn’t Court Death Won’t Die (Part 3)
Those who have never had their relationship disrupted by a mistress and seen her successfully take their place can never truly understand the disdain and anger they feel toward such people.
“By the way,” Yao Yunqing slowly quelled the anger in her heart, her eyes turning toward Mu Ruyue, “Yue’er, I need to leave the Academy for a while.”
Mu Ruyue had just stepped down from the sparring stage when she unexpectedly heard Yao Yunqing’s words, her eyebrows raising as she said, “You’re leaving?”
“Hehe,” Yao Yunqing scratched her head, smiling, “I only wanted to come here for some fun, but it seems that there’s not much to it after all. Yue’er, I plan to go away for some time. If you need to find me, look for me in the Fengyun Empire.”
Mu Ruyue nodded slightly, “Qingqing, while you’re out, keep an eye out for someone for me.”
“Who?”
“Xiao Feng…”
Yao Yunqing silently noted the name in her heart, her face full of smiles as she patted Mu Ruyue on the shoulder, “Don’t worry, I’ll keep an eye out for Xiao Feng for you.”
As she said this, a look of reluctance appeared in her eyes. It was not easy to meet a fellow countryman in an otherworldly place, and now they had to part so soon, but she had more important matters to attend to…
Once she finished that matter, she would come back to see her.
After one last glance at Mu Ruyue, Yao Yunqing bit her lip, and ultimately left without looking back…
Only after the other party had disappeared did Mu Ruyue withdraw her gaze, “Wuchen, Jingjing, let’s go back.”
She was about to turn and leave when suddenly, a voice came from behind, “Girl, what is your relationship with Xiao Yun?”
At the mention of that name, Mu Ruyue’s steps halted abruptly as she turned to look at the elderly man approaching her.
This old man walked over accompanied by the Dean, his eyes scrutinizing Mu Ruyue with a hint of a smile. He didn’t seem to harbor any ill will, merely waiting with a smile for her to answer.
“Who might you be?” Mu Ruyue frowned and asked coolly.
“Hehe, girl, my name is Xiao Baixuan. Let’s find a different place to talk, shall we? And just you alone will be enough, there are some things I would like to discuss with you.”
“Muer!” Ye Wuchen’s hands tightened, gripping Mu Ruyue’s arm as his chilling Purple Eyes glared at Xiao Baixuan, a powerful aura emanating from him instantly.
“Wuchen, don’t worry, I’ll be fine.”
Mu Ruyue shook her head slightly and gently patted Ye Wuchen’s hand before turning to Xiao Baixuan, “Lead the way.”
“Haha, girl, you’ve got guts. Then follow me now.”
Xiao Baixuan laughed heartily twice. He had just enjoyed a great show for free, which left him feeling curious about this woman who could possibly be related to Xiao Yun.
…
Inside the Dean’s office, a gentle breeze brought in a subtle fragrance, and the setting sun cast its light over the several figures present.
Mu Ruyue gazed at the two old men in front of her. They did not speak, and she did not break the silence either. After a while, seemingly unable to bear the atmosphere, Xiao Baixuan chuckled.
“Girl, you haven’t answered my question yet. What is your relationship with Senior Xiao Yun?”
With the use of the word “senior,” Xiao Baixuan expressed his reverence.
However, Mu Ruyue remained indifferent, her voice cool as she said, “My ancestor.”
Even though he had anticipated this, upon hearing her words, Xiao Baixuan’s heart couldn’t help but stir with excitement, “Haha, I never expected Senior Xiao Yun to have two such remarkable descendants. In that case, you and Xiao Feng are siblings?”
