Chapter 59 Mu Yixue Gets Beaten

"Are you sure I'm a beggar?" Wu Yu pointed at his nose and asked once more.

He had merely accidentally blown up the Pill Furnace, making himself look this disheveled, yet for the first time in his life, someone called him a beggar.

Does such a handsome, elegant beggar exist?

"So it turns out you're not just a beggar, but an idiot too." Mu Yixue scoffed contemptuously. She had always despised dirty beggars the most.

To her, people like him were a stain on the world, unworthy of living here.

Mu Qing frowned and glanced at Wu Yu in front of him. Though the old man looked weird and bedraggled, for some reason, he sensed that this old man was not simple.

Before gauging the other's strength, it was best not to offend people recklessly.

After all, some strong individuals on the continent liked to disguise themselves as beggars.

"Esteemed sir, my daughter is a bit ignorant. I hope you won't hold it against her for her youth and naivety."

Generally speaking, the strong disdain to argue with the weak, especially when the other party is a thirteen-year-old girl. However, Wu Yu was an oddball who didn't care about strength; anyone who bullied his apprentice was no good.

"What are you here for?" Wu Yu regarded them warily as if guarding against wolves. He hadn't forgotten how shameless the Mu Family could be. What if his precious apprentice got bullied?

"Esteemed sir," Li Lu glanced briefly at the silent Mu Qing and walked over to Wu Yu, lifting his chin, saying, "The Mu Family Master came just now, forcing the master to return, but the master was unwilling. If it weren't for your sudden arrival, the Mu Family Master might have taken action."

He had seen every one of Mu Qing's moves clearly. At this moment, he certainly wouldn't miss the chance to lodge a good complaint.

"Oh?" Wu Yu raised an eyebrow. He had experienced the Mu Family's shamelessness too lightly. The one who kicked Yue out was him; now, the one who wanted to drag her back was him too. Was there anyone more shameless in this world?

"So what if that is so? Father kindly came to invite her back, but she didn't appreciate it and even spoke insolently." Mu Yixue had always been spoiled and naturally regarded Wu Yu as an ordinary beggar. She couldn't understand why her father treated him so courteously, feeling it demeaned their status.

"Smack!"

Wu Yu's face darkened, and he struck Mu Yixue on the cheek with a slap. Instantly, five clear red fingerprints appeared. Before she could react, with a loud thud, he kicked her and sent her flying.

"Xue'er!" Mu Qing shouted in shock, hurriedly.

Mu Yixue landed heavily on the ground, the pain bringing tears to her eyes. She had been spoiled since childhood and never endured such a beating.

And the one who hit her was a beggar.

"You hit me! You filthy beggar actually hit me! I'll have my father kill you!" Mu Yixue stood up with disheveled hair, a fierce gleam in her eyes, the pain causing her tears to fall uncontrollably. Her delicate face was twisted with rage.

"Xue'er," Mu Qing shouted sternly, then turned to Wu Yu with a grim face, "Esteemed sir, no matter what my daughter did wrong, it's not for an outsider to teach her a lesson. Besides, you're an old man bullying a little girl, don't you think that's going too far?"

"Ha ha," Wu Yu laughed twice, his white hair fluttering in the wind. He turned his gaze to Mu Qing and said, "Too far? More than you, the bastard who abandoned his own daughter? I will hit anyone I want. Who dares to say 'no' to me? I wouldn't even hesitate to hit you."
