Chapter 117: Chapter 117 Master and Disciple Reunion
A shadow fell behind Ye Wuchen, bowing respectfully; then quickly, that figure vanished, as if it had never been there…
“Girl, you’ve arrived?”
Within the Alchemy Conference Hall, Wu Yu turned his head upon seeing Mu Ruyue walking in, his eyes immediately lighting up, and then he couldn’t help but laugh, “You stir up such a big commotion just by attending one meeting, but as your master, I’m proud of you.”
That old Chairman had previously won against him by fluke, yet now his precious grandson had still lost to his disciple, hadn’t he?
Mu Ruyue stepped forward and glanced at Wu Yu, “I’ve been out for a while now, it’s time for me to return to Feng City.”
“Hehe, there’s no hurry for that, disciple. Just now, the old Chairman suggested that you become an honorary Elder of the Alchemy Association, what do you think?” Elder Wu Yu said with a smile, rubbing his palms together.
“Not interested,” Mu Ruyue’s refusal was swift and to the point.
Wu Yu was startled, not expecting her to reject the idea so directly, without even considering it.
Mu Ruyue looked at him coolly and said, “It’s too tiring and thankless. Only idiots would do such a thing.”
Upon hearing this, everyone else, aside from Wu Yu, was stunned. Did she mean to say that all the Elders of their Alchemy Association were idiots, taking on such grueling and thankless tasks?
Which alchemy master in the world wouldn’t want to join the Alchemy Association? Yet, to her, it seemed like something only an idiot would do.
“Idiot!” Wu Yu glared at her, frustrated, “Do you even know what an honorary Elder is? It means you don’t have to do anything yet still enjoy all the privileges of an Alchemy Association Elder, and the Association just borrows your name for its promotion. You’re rejecting such a good deal? Isn’t that foolish?”
This girl couldn’t grasp the enjoyment of it; such a good opportunity and she calls it ‘idiots’ work’?
“Is it that good?” Mu Ruyue’s eyes brightened slightly, and she smiled, “Then, I accept the position of honorary Elder.”
After all, if she didn’t have to do anything and could just enjoy the privileges, that was enough for her.
“Hehe,” the Chairman chuckled, a sly glint in his eye, “Girl, all the Dan Pavilions in the world are under our Alchemy Association’s power. So, if you need any medicinal ingredients, you can have the Dan Pavilion’s people help you find them. However, I need to trouble you with one thing.”
Mu Ruyue raised an eyebrow, “What is it?”
“It’s ,” the Chairman said with a cunning smile, “Although my grandson’s talent is not bad, he’s still lacking compared to you, girl. Therefore, I’d like for my grandson to learn from you for a while, how do you feel about that?”
“Hey, old man, you’re not still eyeing my precious disciple, are you?” Wu Yu glared at the Chairman unhappily, clearly displeased.
The Chairman’s smile stiffened, and he shot Wu Yu a look, “You’ve already said your disciple is married, how could I still have designs on her? I genuinely want my grandson to learn from her for a while. I assure you there’ll be no other intentions, although I really wished she could’ve become my granddaughter-in-law, if only we had met her sooner.”
At this thought, the Chairman shook his head in regret. He did truly want his grandson to learn from her; after all, he wasn’t the sort to break up a pair of lovebirds.
