Chapter 423 - Who Is The Real Senior Yue? Part 5

The crowd quieted instantly. Everyone looked at Qi Rong with curiosity.

Once the clamouring died down, Qi Rong said with smile, "I've assembled everyone here today to pick a disciple to help Lady Lan Yue with a matter. The academy will definitely not mistreat her after helping her."

'Helping her?'

Mu Ru Yue frowned as she had a feeling this matter was about her…

"Lady Lan Yue." Qi Rong turned toward Lan Yue and continued, smiling, "You can pick a person now."

Swish!

Countless gazes landed on Lan Yue at the moment.

In their gazes, there was both anticipation and nervousness… If those people knew what Lan Yue wanted to do, they probably wouldn't have such gazes.

Lan Yue's gaze swept the densely packed crowd before her sight landed on Mu Ru Yue. She then smiled. Her gentle smile was like the spring wind, giving people a soothing feeling.

"Her."

"She?" Qi Rong frowned as she looked at Mu Ru Yue.

That girl should be the talent Luo Yin had mentioned…

"Mu Er."

Ye Wu Chen's gaze chilled as he held Mu Ru Yue's hand firmly. His entire body's aura surged forth as he shot a sinister gaze at Lan Yue.

Lan Yue felt it difficult to breath as she paled after being locked on by Ye Wu Chen.

"Wu Chen, I will be fine." Mu Ru Yue shook her head. "Don't worry. Lan Yue won't be able to do anything to me as I don't want to die."

"Mu Er…"

"Don't forget. I still have the Alchemy Book."

Looking at the girl's relaxed smile, Ye Wu Chen's heart calmed down gradually. How could he forget that the Alchemy Book was in her possession? It was her final trump card.

"Even though it is like that, I still worry for you." Ye Wu Chen's brows rose as he continued, "I will go with you."

"You can't!"

Lan Yue smiled and a ray of light flashed in her eyes as she glanced at Ye Wu Chen. "This matter cannot involve a man so you can't come along."

It was laughable if she let such a tyrannically powerful man come along. Wouldn't she be seeking trouble that way?

"And if I insist?" Ye Wu Chen narrowed his eyes and his aura surged forth again as he spoke in a heavy and low voice filled with boundless killing intent.

"Wu Chen."

Mu Ru Yue looked at Ye Wu Chen and said seriously, "I don't want to always hide behind your back. I mentioned this to you long ago."

Ye Wu Chen's aura gradually withdrew as he looked pitifully at Mu Ru Yue and explained, "My wife, I'm just worried about your safety…"

"Don't fret. I will be fine. I can just hide in the Alchemy Book in the worst case scenario." Mu Ru Yue giggled. How could she dare to face Lan Yue by herself if she wasn't completely confident?

Moreover, there was still that person behind her. Perhaps that woman herself was that person…

"Alright, I will wait for your return." Ye Wu Chen looked at the two on the stage. At that moment, his voice was charmingly sinister and reverberated throughout the public square as he said, "If anything bad were to happen to you, Ben Wang won't mind causing a bloodbath in the Central Region Academy and have all the disciples of the academy die with you!"

He said that purposely for Qi Rong to hear.

If she met with danger, he would kill all the disciples of the academy to accompany her…

Qi Rong looked flabbergasted at the man's handsome and sinister face. This man was more ruthless than her. He wouldn't mind killing everyone in the academy for a girl. It was great that Lan Yue had prepared well. It would be impossible for him to detect the exchange between Mu Ru Yue's soul with an animal's soul at that time.
