Enchantress Amongst Alchemists: Ghost King’s Concubine

Chapter 1239 - The Region Head Manor’s Mishap Part 3

“Chief…” Wang Hai narrated bitterly, “An expert sought trouble with the Region Head Manor, looking for you. Old Housekeeper Kong Fan sacrificed his life to let us brothers escape. If we didn’t consume the Concealing Presence Pill that you had left behind all along the way here, making it impossible for her to discover our location, I’m afraid we wouldn’t be able to survive and inform you about this…”

There wouldn’t be anyone who could understand the ordeal they had gone through during this journey.

They didn’t dare to stay at a spot for too long, not to mention daring to appear in the main streets. They could finally heave a sigh of relief after rushing back to God Academy now…

If they could report this incident to their chief, they would be worry-free even if it might lead to their death… 

“Who was it?”

Boom!

An aura filled with fury emerged from Mu Ru Yue’s body, rising up from her head. Her current expression was ice-cold; her eyes glacial.

“Who was it that killed a member of my manor?”

Wang Hai gritted his teeth as he replied, “I do not know who that is but I heard him mention a name, Zi Yu…”

“Zi Yu?!”

An exclamation sounded behind Mu Ru Yue before she could even ask who Zi Yu was.

Lin Luo Yu heard Wang Hai’s report the moment she stepped into the dormitory. She suppressed her suspicions and asked, “Is the full name of the lady you mentioned Zhu Zi Yu?”

“I am not sure. I had only heard him mention that name. Chief, you should quickly go into hiding for a period of time. I believe that person will find this place real soon…”

Mu Ru Yue’s gaze gloomed. ‘It seems Lin Ruo Yu knows who this person known as Zi Yu was.’

“Yi Lian, I will have to trouble you to bring the Wang family’s brothers to find Lu Zhen and have him organize a place for them to rest.”

“Chief, we are not tired. You should quickly run for your life instead! Otherwise, it will be too late”, Wang Hai said anxiously.

“Since you have returned, I will certainly not let anything else happen to you. I need to settle some matters now. You all are to come and find me again after resting up.”

Mu Ru Yue turned her head to face Lin Ruo Yu upon saying that before she said, “Auntie Yu, I would like to have a chat with you…”

Lin Ruo Yu nodded as she agreed, “Alright, let’s have a chat. I coincidentally also have some questions I would like to ask you too…”

Only Lin Ruo Yu and Mu Ru Yue were in the room after the crowd was dismissed.

Mu Ru Yue asked after remaining silent for a moment, “Auntie Yu, who is Zhu Zi Yu?”

Lin Ruo Yu glanced at Mu Ru Yue before replying, “You have to answer a question of mine first before I will answer that question. I have been wanting to ask since the exam. What is your relationship to Wu Wang? Why do you know his ultimate move ‘one sword pierce the heaven’?”

Mu Ru Yue lowered her gaze slightly with a little smug on her face.

“I originally didn’t plan to come clean to you before finding out the reason for his disappearance. But now, I don’t have that kind of leisure to continue with that decision. Phoenix, come out…”

Swish!

A flame rose from Mu Ru Yue’s body. An enormous Flame Phoenix momentarily appeared at her side.

Lin Ruo Yu’s pupil dilated when she saw the appearance of the Flame Phoenix that appeared out of thin air, staring at the impeccable face of the Flame Phoenix in astonishment.

“Phoenix, wh-why are you here?”

Even though Huang Yu mentioned Flame Phoenix when previously seeking trouble with Mu Ru Yue, he didn't mention it was a demon beast. Hence, Lin Ruo Yu thought it was just a coincidence. But now, she didn’t expect to truly see it…

“Lady Lin, it has been ages since we last met. I am accompanying my Master this time.”
