Chapter 29: Chapter 29: Apprenticeship (Part 2)

In the room, all was quiet.
Yi Xu poured tea for the two of them and quietly stepped aside.
Mu Ruyue took a light sip of tea, set down her cup, and looked up at the elder in front of her, waiting for him to speak.
“Girl, let me ask you, was that Revitalization Powder refined by you?” Wu Yu asked, rubbing his fists and smiling at Mu Ruyue.
Mu Ruyue raised an eyebrow and said, “That’s right, the Revitalization Powder was indeed made by me. Is there a problem?”
“No, how could there be a problem,” Wu Yu’s eyes lit up, clearly realizing that this girl was the one he was looking for. “Also, girl, the medicinal materials you sold to Huichun Hall, were they the 50-year-old medicinal materials you bought not long ago? Each of our herbs at Huichun Hall has its own mark, so it’s easily recognizable.”
This came as a surprise to Mu Ruyue.
She was taken aback; she hadn’t expected Huichun Hall to place marks on their herbs. It seemed she had been a bit negligent on this matter…
“Girl, don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone about this, nor will I ask you anything, I just wanted to confirm this matter.”
Wu Yu smiled cunningly like a fox. This girl had good talent in alchemy, and with proper training, she could definitely become an outstanding Alchemy Master.
Suddenly, a voice filled with surprise came from the side.
Elder Zhao had been silent the whole time, pondering why this girl’s voice sounded so familiar, as if he’d heard it somewhere before. Until now, the figure finally slipped into his mind.
It seemed that Mu Ruyue was unlucky. If it had been anyone else, they wouldn’t have been able to identify her just by her voice.
But Elder Zhao was no ordinary person.
Especially after the Talent Test, Elder Zhao had been quietly helping Master Wu Yu find someone. The girl’s laughter, appearance, and figure had appeared countless times in his mind, so he was intimately familiar with them…
“Elder Zhao, what are you saying?” Wu Yu was very displeased at having their conversation interrupted, and his old face gradually grew less pleasant.
“Master Wu Yu, do you remember the genius I told you about, who not only had a colorless talent but also spiritual power so strong that the test stone couldn’t handle it? She is that genius!”
This time, Master Wu Yu truly couldn’t remain calm. He stood up with a start, looking at Mu Ruyue in astonishment. Shortly after, his astonishment turned into excitement, and he couldn’t calm down for a long time.
“Girl, I have been looking for you for so long. I didn’t expect to be so lucky; both people I was looking for turned out to be you.”
“Looking for me?” Mu Ruyue raised an eyebrow. “What exactly do you want from me?”
“Hehe,” Wu Yu smiled slightly, “Girl, I want to take you as my disciple.”
Mu Ruyue took a sip of tea to moisten her throat and replied without looking up, “I refuse.”
Her words were decisive and without hesitation, leaving everyone in the room stunned. Who was Master Wu Yu? The chief Alchemy Master of Qingyun Sect, even the Alliance Hierarch had to show him some respect.
For such a powerful figure to want to take on a disciple, only to be refused? If the favored sons and daughters of Qingyun Sect heard this, they’d probably be itching to beat this woman up.
“Girl, if you refuse me, you should at least give me a reason,” Wu Yu was also taken aback, not expecting Mu Ruyue to turn him down.
“There’s no benefit in being your student.” Mu Ruyue glanced at him, speaking slowly and deliberately.
She had always avoided things that had no benefits.
