Chapter 4 Plan

"Outrageous!" The middle-aged man clenched his fist, the muscles in his temple twitching. His gaze was as if he was looking at a mortal enemy. "Ting'er is my daughter! How dare you insult her like this?"

It seemed that in his heart, only Mu Tingting and Mu Yixue were his daughters. Mu Ruyue was a wild child who spoke ill of his precious daughter.

"Father, forget it," Mu Tingting grabbed the middle-aged man's arm, shook her head, and bit her lip. "Ting'er knows her place. I am just a foster-daughter of the Mu Family and ask for nothing else. I lost my real father when I was young, and just having a bit of fatherly love from you makes me content."

"Ai," the middle-aged man sighed. "Ting'er, your real father died saving the old madam. At that time, I vowed to treat you as my own daughter. How can I allow anyone to harm you even slightly?"

He cast a dark glance at Mu Ruyue.

Clearly, the 'anyone' he spoke of referred to Mu Ruyue...

"Father, the Young Master Shi is still here." Mu Tingting hung her head and said quietly.

No one noticed the cold smile on her lips.

Of course, she wasn't pleading for Mu Ruyue's sake. She understood that the Young Master Shi favored understanding and considerate women. It was the reason he had fallen for her in the first place.

"Heh, Young Master Shi, forgive this embarrassing scene," the middle-aged man apologized with cupped fists and then turned to Mu Ruyue, frowning and speaking coldly. "What are you standing there for? Get out of here immediately! If you dare interrupt again when the Young Master Shi and Ting'er are together, I'll break your legs!"

A cold light flashed in Mu Ruyue's eyes, but she had just arrived on this continent and needed some time to fully digest some things. So she only cast a piercing gaze at her father, Mu Qing, and then walked toward her dwelling based on her memories.

Mu Qing was startled. Did his daughter really have that kind of look? However, he did not think much of it and turned to Ye Tianfeng, saying, "Young Master Shi, you see, Ting'er is still an unwed girl but has already given her purity to you. When do you plan on breaking the engagement with that useless person and marrying Ting'er?"

Ye Tianfeng frowned slightly and, after a moment, said, "Don't worry, Mu Family Master. Ting'er will definitely become my Lady Shi. However, we cannot inform Grandpa Emperor that Ting'er and I have already shared intimacy. Otherwise, given his nature, since this happened before she is married, he would only give Ting'er the title of concubine, which would be too unfair to her."

His Ting'er was so outstanding and wonderful that only the title of Lady Shi could match her.

"Then what does Young Master Shi intend to do?"

"In several months, the Imperial City will hold a martial arts tournament. Now that Ting'er is already a Third-level Martial Artist, there aren't many young people in the Purple Moon Country who can surpass her. If she wins, Grandpa Emperor will view her differently. At that time, I will introduce her to my master, and even Grandpa Emperor has to listen to my master. Moreover, my master is also an Alchemy Master."

An Alchemy Master...

Mu Qing's breathing tightened, his eyes shining brightly.

Due to the scarcity of Alchemists, they held the highest status on the continent. If one could befriend an Alchemist, they would never have to worry about elixirs again.

"Young Master Shi, rest assured, Ting'er will definitely win that martial arts tournament. Heh, just as you said earlier, in this Imperial City, there are very few geniuses who can compare to Ting'er."

Mu Qing smiled slightly. He had great confidence in the foster-daughter he had raised for over ten years.
