Chapter 54 Secret Feelings (V)

"Hehe, actually the Mu Family's intentions have already become quite clear to everyone," Wu Yu stroked his white beard, smiling as he spoke, "because you fought against many opponents in the contest and defeated Mu Tingting, who is fifth-rank, many elders of the Qingyun Sect want to take you as their disciple. With no external elixir support, you've reached this level on your own. If you go to Qingyun Sect, you'll advance even faster. More importantly, many people are quite curious about the swordsmanship you used. The Mu Family has lost the capital to form marital alliances; in order to curry favor with Qingyun Sect, they will surely send you there."

Mu Ruyue laughed, her stunningly beautiful face became exceptionally vibrant with that smile. However, her whole demeanor exuded coldness, making even Wu Yu wonder why this young girl could be so... cold?

"I am not a person of the Mu Family, they can't control me."

After all, the original Mu Ruyue had perished after that collision, and she was merely a wandering ghost who had inadvertently arrived on this continent.

"Rest assured, as long as I am here, no one would dare to snatch my disciple," Wu Yu proudly stroked his white beard, his whole being radiating an aura of confidence.

If anyone knew that Mu Ruyue was Wu Yu's disciple, they wouldn't even think of snatching her away, let alone display the slightest intention.

Who was Master Wu Yu? He wasn't someone who would reason with you. If you angered him, even the Sect Leader of Qingyun Sect wouldn't be able to earn his forgiveness.

This visit to Wu Yu had proven fruitful for Mu Ruyue; this Nine-leaf Snow Lotus was indeed an invaluable treasure. It had several times the effect of an Eight-leaf Snow Lotus despite only having one more petal.

After a few unimportant words, Mu Ruyue took her leave. However, on her way back to the Mu Residence, she was seen by a steward of the Mu Family named Mu Ren Gui.

It happened that Mu Ren Gui was also on Huayuan Street to handle some affairs and saw Mu Ruyue turn into a courtyard with the "Mu Residence" sign glistening in the sunlight.

Over time, Mu Qing had sent the Mu Family's Guard Team everywhere to search for Mu Ruyue's whereabouts. Nobody expected to find her in the least likely place.

What was Huayuan Street? Even if you had the money, you couldn't buy a residence here. Even the Mu Family couldn't settle in such a tranquil place.

So when Mu Ren Gui saw this scene, he hurried back to report to Mu Qing.

"What did you say?" Mu Qing stood up with a bang, his eyes flashing with an inscrutable light, "Why would Mu Ruyue stay there? Could it be that this is the reward His Majesty gave her for winning the championship?"

Now, Mu Qing could only think of this possibility.

"Someone, I need to see Mu Ruyue."

Taking a deep breath, Mu Qing gave a cold order.

At that moment, Mu Yixue ran out from the inner room, grabbing Mu Qing's arm. Her charming face bore an extremely adorable smile, "Daddy, I want to go too."

Mu Qing frowned slightly, glancing at his restless younger daughter, and said, "If you want to go, don't irritate your elder sister again. This time we need to lower ourselves to invite her back."

Only this way could they ensure the Mu Family's connection with the people of Qingyun Sect.

"Daddy, don't worry. Xue'er will listen to everything you say. I promise not to make that slut…" Seeing Mu Qing's displeased gaze, Mu Yixue quickly corrected herself, "I promise not to make elder sister upset."
