Chapter 78: Senior Sister Lan, the Snow Lotus Brother Mu Gave Is So Pretty~ p1
After seeing Mu Zhi’an off, Old Man Huang turned around and returned to the hall.
He thought for a bit, turned his head to look at the servant beside him, and said in a deep voice, “Go call the young miss here.”
The servant bowed slightly and left the hall.
Before long, Huang Manting walked into the hall in black embroidered shoes. Her enchanting eyes swept over the man in the hall, and she crisply called out, “Father, what did you call me here for?”
Old Man Huang smiled and tapped the table, saying, “Sit down and let’s talk.”
After Huang Manting sat down, Old Man Huang leisurely picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said, “The young master of the Mu family just came to the Chamber of Commerce.”
Huang Manting’s delicate brows raised slightly, seeming a bit surprised, and said, “That Mu Zhi’an looks handsome like a scholar, but he actually has many tricks up his sleeve. Father, don’t underestimate him because of his age.”
Old Man Huang nodded with a smile and said, “I called you here to remind you of this matter.”
“Mu Zhi’an made an agreement with me. After entering the Two Polarities Sect, he will help you out. If you have any troubles in the future, you can go to him.”
Huang Manting pouted and played with a lock of hair, saying, “Father, I’m at the eighth stage of Qi Condensation. Do you think there will be times when I need him?”
If she had to say, she lacked a servant to please her.
Mu Zhi’an was quite suitable.
Old Man Huang shook his head and smiled, “His realm isn’t high, but he’s very smart. No one knows what will happen in the future.”
“Didn’t he trick you a few days ago?”
A few days ago, he didn’t want to get involved in the matters between the Bai family, Gongsun family, and Mu family, but Mu Zhi’an found his daughter… With no choice, the Gongsun family handed over three boulevards Mentioning this matter, Huang Manting’s face instantly darkened a few degrees, and she said, “At that time, I thought he was just a good-for-nothing young master indulging in beauties, without much brains. Who would have known…”
Recalling the scene of being taken advantage of by the other party and thinking she had control over him that day, Huang Manting’s originally indifferent smile instantly disappeared from her face.
“What did he come for today?” Huang Manting suddenly asked.
“You don’t need to worry about this matter. In short, our Chamber of Commerce won’t lose any benefits. In the end, it’s just a matter of going with the flow,” Old Man Huang said with a faint smile, “I called you here just to remind you not to casually offend Mu Zhi’an in the future.”
Huang Manting lowered her eyes, swinging her fair and tender feet, and said, “Didn’t Father think more highly of Ye Yu before?”
“I originally thought highly of Ye Yu because he became a waste for a few years but was still able to make a comeback and return to the Qi Condensation stage in less than a few months.” Old Man Huang paused and shook his head with a smile, “But with Ye Yu’s impetuous mentality, he won’t go far in the future.”
“As for the purpose of Mu Zhi’an’s visit to the Morning Glory Chamber of Commerce today…” Old Man Huang intentionally sold a cliffhanger.
“In a few days, you’ll know.”
Even if Bai Ruoxi only had a small part of demonic aura, so what if she was a half-demon or even a demonic cultivator?
When everyone thinks she’s not a demonic cultivator, then she isn’t.
…
Gongsun Manor.
The secret agent of the Gongsun family stood under the lamplight, carefully peeking at Gongsun Xiong, who was sitting in a chair drinking afternoon tea, and said, “Old Master, how should this matter be handled?”
He knew that the recent pressure from the Mu family on the Gongsun family made Gongsun Xiong extremely displeased. If he wanted revenge, this was an opportunity…
“Bai Ruoxi is not a demonic cultivator. The Gongsun family also hasn’t discovered any demonic aura. The Gongsun family believes in Miss Bai’s character,” Gongsun Xiong said indifferently, “If someone mentions this matter in the future, just answer like this.”
If the Bai family was exposed for privately harboring a demonic cultivator, it would naturally be a good thing, but now his injuries hadn’t healed. If the Bai family didn’t find a demonic cultivator, the Gongsun family, who took the lead in making things difficult, would become the target of public criticism.
Just as Mu Zhi’an had guessed, Gongsun Xiong was an extremely cautious man. Before his injuries healed, he didn’t want to make any big moves.
…
Ye Residence.
In the backyard, Ye Lingxuan sat alone cross-legged in front of a remote pavilion.
Her sitting posture was dignified, her appearance extremely beautiful. Under her purple silk dress, a small section of her snow-white calf was exposed. Her jade feet were wearing a pair of small short boots as she quietly listened to the information Elder Wei had obtained today.
After a while, Ye Lingxuan’s delicate brows raised slightly, and she said softly, “Bai Ruoxi is a demonic cultivator?”
Elder Wei slowly shook his head and said, “This morning, this old man indeed saw a wisp of pink demonic aura in the sky.”
“Young Miss, that sect assessment examiner is a genius. At such a young age, she has already had a glimpse of the Reversion realm. Even this old man noticed it, so it’s impossible for her not to have noticed.”
Elder Wei paused and continued, “If she really confirms that Bai Ruoxi is a demonic cultivator, then Mu Zhi’an will probably also be implicated… So Young Miss, it’s best not to be too close to him recently.”
At this point, he didn’t say anything more, only intentionally or unintentionally glancing at the elegant purple-robed girl.
Recently, Ye Lingxuan and Mu Zhi’an had been getting too close… so close that even Elder Wei was a bit panicked.
When the master had him follow the young miss, firstly, it was to protect the young miss, and secondly, it was also in hopes that the young miss wouldn’t fall in love too quickly.
Ye Lingxuan took a sip of tea, making her lips more lustrous with a hint of pink. With an unchanging calm tone, she said, “Mu Zhi’an is Mu Zhi’an, Bai Ruoxi is Bai Ruoxi. He has some relation with Bai Ruoxi, but he can’t be beheaded because of this matter, right?”
“Also, has Elder Wei forgotten that he handed this thing over to me for safekeeping?” Ye Lingxuan opened her palm, and in her hand was the Dragon Rising Root, emitting a faint luster.
This originally almost withered Dragon Rising Root seemed to have come back to life in Ye Lingxuan’s hand, showing its true appearance.
Elder Wei was silent.
This Mu Zhi’an was indeed quite something. Knowing the value of the Dragon Rising Root, he still gave this ancient medicinal ingredient to the young miss.
And what Mu Zhi’an received was merely two thousand spirit stones.
This was almost no different from giving it for free.
However… things that seemed to be given for free were actually not entirely free.
