Chapter 659 “Youth Exchange (3)”
“Miss Mu Leng, I have some questions with alchemy I would like to ask you, mind helping me with the solution?” A young man scampers over to the lady’s side and looked on with expectant eyes.
When the others saw how the youngster was able to brave the pressure and go on over like so, its normal for them to be annoyed. However, it also gave them courage to join the fray. In no time at all, this Mu Leng has become surrounded by excited individuals of various backgrounds.
“Miss Mu Leng, your alchemic skills are truly admirable. Forget about being first within the Misty Fairy House, you should be first even among the Medicine Sect and Holy Land!”
“Isn’t that right? When I left a couple of days ago to take a short travel in the outside world, I actually heard the Medicine Sect’s leader saying he’s found his long-lost granddaughter. It’s said the girl is more capable than her own grandfather in the art of alchemy, but I say its nothing more than bluffs and air. How can that person be more skilled than Miss Mu Leng?”
Faced with the worshipping looks and flattering compliments of the crowd, this lady actually managed to keep her ego in check. That’s something not everyone could do, especially under such circumstances. This goes to show the level of maturity and intellect this girl has, which was clearly above the rest of her peers.
“I’m sorry everyone,” Mu Leng scans the crowd around herself and spoke in an apologetic tone. “Today is the Youth Exchange so I can only answer a couple of question. I fear anymore than that would be beyond the timeframe allowed in today’s event. Also… words of degrading matters like today mustn’t be spoken again in public. I hope everyone can remember my advice.”
The relationship between the Misty Fairy House and the Medicine Sect has never been the best to begin with. This could be seen in the disputes that’s constantly occurring between the disciples of both powers. Now if word were to be spread of her name in such manner, then it could only cause trouble for herself.
Look at that! Miss Mu Leng’s alchemic skill is not only high, she’s also not an arrogant woman like the one from the Medicine Sect. What a wondrous woman who cares for others! Thoughts like these were running rampant among the naïve youngsters.
It’s simply too easy to sway a mind that’s not fully matured or experienced the harshness of the world….
Meanwhile at one corner of the boat, Bai Yan was listening in on everything with her brows arched. “It can’t be right? I still got hit when lying on the floor?”
What’s this all about? I’m just attending some random event and things still ended up on my head….
Understanding his mother’s woe, the little fox licks the back of her hand in a soothing gesture. With that done, the faithful son then shifts his gaze over to Mu Leng. Just that instead of the warmth look he shows to Bai Yan, the boy’s eye gradually turned into a bloodthirsty red like his old man’s when irked.
“Hmm?” The lecherous man standing next to the shining girl didn’t care for all the attention, he’s used to this sort of fan craze in his life even if it was the negative version; instead, he’s now focused on Bai Yan who’s standing in the corner.
“What’s wrong?” Mu Leng asks, her brow furrowing after noticing the oddity: “Did something happen?”
“It’s nothing.” That’s said, the womanizer known as Xun Huan then retracted his gaze before being caught. For some strange reason, he’s getting a familiar vibe from the unknown woman wearing that veil like he’s seen her somewhere.
I must be imagining things….
Although Mu Leng didn’t raise a comment over this, she did however turn her head over to the same direction as her partner. Almost immediately, her forehead had wrinkled into a knot before eventually loosening them again with a smile on that face.
“It getting late everyone, let’s go inside first. During the exchange, I’m sorry, but I will have to limit it to ten questions.”
The crowd got quiet and turned to their seats as instructed. Thankfully the dragon boat was a huge vessel and could accommodate this many. Otherwise, some poor saps would have to standing during the entire occasion.
“Miss Mu Leng, I have a question to ask you…”
