Phoenix Cry Firmament

“Cough! Cough!” Mu Qing coughed, interrupting the flirting couple. “Your Highness, may I ask who this is?”

Ye Tian Feng came back to reality. Previously, he had been consoling Mu Ting Er and forgotten about his Master. Thinking that he had actually forgotten about his Master’s existence, he expressed guilt.

“Mu family’s head and Ting Er, this is my Master, Alchemist Grandmaster Tian Yuan of the Qing Yun Sect.”

It was like a strong blow that struck Mu Qing’s head.

Shortly afterward, he changed from being in a daze to expressing elation. He immediately went forth and, with a flattering smile on his face, greeted the guest. “So, it’s the Grandmaster honouring us of your arrival. I previously didn’t know Grandmaster’s identity. I plead for Grandmaster’s forgiveness for any unsatisfactory actions.”

Tian Yuan arrogantly nodded as he shifted his gaze at Mu Ting Er, who still had a pale complexion. “This is the girl that Feng Er had mentioned? She’s not bad. Feng Er’s eyesight has always been good.”

Hearing Tian Yuan’s praises, Mu Ting Er’s complexion slowly recovered as she bashfully leaned into Ye Tian Feng’s embrace.

“I don’t know who that girl from before was?” Tian Yuan asked, frowning.

“That’s my eldest daughter.” Mu Qing hastily replied, “Her blocked meridians made it impossible for her to cultivate. Moreover, since no one had disciplined her since she was a child, she became crafty and unruly, developing a personality that looked down on everyone. Ting Er had often been bullied by her.”

“En!” Tian Yuan nodded. “She’s also your Mu family’s daughter, but there’s a heaven and earth difference between them. It seems that it was an intelligent decision to terminate the marriage between Feng Er and her.”

At this moment, how could Tian Yuan know that the trash he didn’t put any thought into would actually be the peerless genius that Wu Yu had been secretly looking for?

“That’s right, I’ve come today about a favor Feng Er asked of me. I’ve heard that your daughter is currently at the Third Martial Stage practitioner. Here is a Human Stage high grade Green Pill in my hand. When used, she can break through to the Fourth Martial Stage.”

“What?” Mu Qing was stunned. ‘A Human Stage high grade Green Pill? Did I hear that properly?’

Mu Ting Er also forgot about her previous pain as she stared dazedly at Tian Yuan.

Tian Yuan enjoyed those revered gazes, his face displaying a light smile. With a flick of his finger, a pill flew towards Mu Ting Er. “I hope that you won’t disappoint me during the talent competition in a few month’s time.”

Mu Ting Er shortly received the pill. 1 With her head lowered, her long eyelashes covered the complacency in her eyes.

“I will, Grandmaster Tian Yuan. I won’t let you down.”

‘Mu Ru Yue, even if you are the genuine young mistress of the Mu family, while I, Mu Ting Er, am the adopted girl, so what? What was the outcome? Your ex-fiance is in love with me, and your father and sister protect me. Lastly, I have also been able to obtain a pill that Grandmaster Tian Yuan had manufactured.’

‘The Human stage high grade Green Pill is probably something someone like you wouldn’t be able to touch. Moreover, all of this I have snatched from you.’

With a slight raise of her brows, Mu Ting Er kept her head lowered, so nobody could notice the viciousness in her eyes.

✶

Just when Mu Ru Yue entered her room, the sunlight before her was blocked by a black figure.

Yan Jin raised his sword-like brows. He looked at the young girl before him with a smile that wasn’t a smile.

“Little girl, why have you come back so late?”

Mu Ru Yue frowned as she glanced at him. “Didn’t I tell you not to casually return to human form? If you were found out, it wouldn’t be good.”

“Hehe! Little girl, don’t worry. With this senior’s power, even if someone was near, they wouldn’t be able to sense my presence.”

Yan Jin sat down and poured himself a cup of tea. When he looked at Mu Ru Yue, it was undeniable that even though her appearance and body figure was still underdeveloped, with maturation, she would definitely be an exceptional beauty.

Mu Ru Yue didn’t bother with him as she took out the medicinal plants she had bought from that medicine store. After slowly placing her hand above the medicinal plants, a faint energy flowed from her palm….

1. Miki: Won’t it be funny if she dropped it? XD
