Chapter 454: Chapter 456: Middle-level Mortal Alchemist (Part 5)
Master Wushan furrowed his white brows and, as he lifted his head, the sunlight in front illuminated his pupils with the reflection of a figure dressed in snow-white robes.
His aged frame shook slightly, and after taking a deep breath, he managed to suppress the shame in his heart and strode towards Mu Ruyue: “Miss Mu, I was indeed in the wrong just now. May I know if you are available to accompany me for a trip now?”
For the sake of the Fourth Prince, Master Wushan had completely cast aside his pride.
His gaze was entirely on Mu Ruyue, thereby missing the changing expressions of others around him…
Miss Mu? Was she the Miss Mu that Master Wushan was looking for? When had this wretched girl formed a relationship with Master Wushan? And he was even so polite to her…
Third Young Master Xiao’s face stiffened.
Even when speaking with Tian’er, Master Wushan had never used such a tone. To those around, he seemed to look at Mu Ruyue as an equal.
It was as if they were peers.
How could this be possible? When had Mu Ruyue ever been on equal footing with Master Wushan?
Third Young Master Xiao took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the shock within his heart.
“Haha!” Yan Fei reacted quickly, laughing loudly as he strode towards Mu Ruyue, “This lady must be the one who disciplined my son and his group? I must say, you did exactly the right thing. My son indeed deserved it, and I truly appreciate you teaching him a lesson. I originally came to express my gratitude today, but Third Master Xiao misunderstood my intent, causing inconvenience to you. Please forgive us.”
Though he spoke to Mu Ruyue, that comment was actually intended for Master Wushan to hear.
At that moment, Third Young Master Xiao’s face could not have been darker.
Gratitude? Misunderstanding? Misunderstand your mother! You come to express gratitude yet you wreak havoc on my Xiao Family and still speak of a misunderstanding?
Third Young Master Xiao trembled with rage, his furious eyes locked onto Yan Fei.
Yan Fei, appearing oblivious to that gaze, smiled obsequiously: “Miss, if you don’t have any other matters, I shall take my leave now. If you are ever free, feel free to visit my Yan Family to discipline anyone.”
Jokes! How strong could the Second Prince be? Wasn’t he too seeking to please Master Wushan? Given a hundred guts, he wouldn’t dare trouble Mu Ruyue at this moment.
Having said this, he waved his hand and swiftly retreated with the people of Yan Family, not feeling a cold sweat break on his back until they reached the door.
“Miss,” Master Wushan hesitated for a while before saying, “Perhaps we should…”
Mu Ruyue raised an eyebrow: “Am I someone who is summoned and dismissed at will?”
As if already aware of Mu Ruyue’s response, Master Wushan’s heart hardened, and he pulled out a Space Ring from his rob, inhaling sharply due to the pain: “Miss, this is the Endless Ring, found by me in an ancient relic. It can contain an entire world, and I’ve already placed many precious medicinal materials inside. Please accept this as a welcome gift.”
Third Young Master Xiao looked at Master Wushan in astonishment.
No one knew better than him the importance of that ring to Master Wushan, yet now he was presenting that ring to this girl?
Instantly, his heart churned like a stormy sea, nearly being swallowed by jealousy.
“The Endless Ring?” Mu Ruyue accepted it unceremoniously, “Lead the way.”
