"Then let's go."
Mu Qing turned around and headed out the door. As a result, he didn't notice the venom that flashed in the young girl's eyes behind him.
That wretched Mu Ruyue hurt Sister Ting'er so badly, why should she be allowed to return to the Mu Family? She would never let that malicious woman set foot in this place.
Moreover...
Mu Yixue's hatred for Mu Ruyue only deepened whenever she thought of that handsome and innocent boy.
——
At the Mu Residence, Mu Ruyue lay lazily on the Guifei Chair, her hands resting behind her head. The bright sun made her squint, and she could only half-open her eyes to look at the blue sky.
"Darling, darling..."
Suddenly, a naïve voice came from ahead.
She looked up and immediately saw Ye Wuchen running towards her excitedly, his handsome face lit up with an innocent and pure smile, his eyes filled with joy.
"Darling, look, I brought something for you."
Ye Wuchen opened his hand to reveal a necklace made of emerald-green beads. He handed the necklace to Mu Ruyue. "Darling, I thought these beads were beautiful, so I strung them together for you. Do you like it?"
Mu Ruyue was touched by Ye Wuchen's thoughtfulness and took the necklace from him. Suddenly, her gaze fell upon one particular emerald-green bead.
This bead was different from the others, brimming with a vibrant and lively aura.
"Ying Tree Fruit? Is this the Ying Tree Fruit?"
It looked the same as the beads but was actually the fruit of the Ying Tree.
Mu Ruyue pulled the Ying Tree Fruit off the necklace and excitedly asked, "Wuchen, where did you get this Ying Tree Fruit from?"
Ye Wuchen blinked his large eyes, curiously looking at Mu Ruyue. "What's an Ying Tree Fruit?"
"The Ying Tree Fruit is a fruit with a lot of Qi. Unlike elixirs, martial artists typically don't use elixirs to breakthrough since they can cause aftereffects that hinder future cultivation. But the Ying Tree Fruit is different. Consuming it can directly help a martial artist break through to the next level."
Otherwise, she wouldn't be so excited.
But as she spoke, Mu Ruyue couldn't help but shake her head with a smile. No matter how much she explained, Ye Wuchen probably wouldn't understand.
Sure enough, faced with Mu Ruyue's words, Ye Wuchen blinked in confusion. "I don't know about any Ying Tree Fruit. I found all these beads a long time ago and planned to give them to my future wife. Darling, you're my wife, so this necklace is yours."
In the shadows, the man in black who had been following Ye Wuchen almost stumbled to the ground after hearing this.
My lord, you went through so much to find the Ying Tree Fruit for your future mistress and came up with such a lousy reason? Planned to give it to your future wife? Before meeting the mistress, you never intended to take a wife.
Moreover, the mistress hasn't accepted you yet. When will you be able to make that 'darling' title official? Perhaps then the Ghost Hall will gain some popularity...
Just then, a figure hurriedly ran in from the front courtyard. When Li Lu saw Mu Ruyue, he heaved a sigh of relief and complained, "Master, didn't you ask me to be loyal to you? After the competition ended, you disappeared, making me search for a long time. If someone hadn't found your whereabouts, I wouldn't have been able to find you so quickly."
