Chapter 43: Chapter 43: Master, I Have Nowhere Else to Go
Editor: Henyee Translations
In the alchemy room, Mu Ruyue stared straight at Wu Yu. Wu Yu felt uneasy under her gaze, hurriedly touching his own face as he nervously said, “My dear disciple, your master doesn’t have flowers growing on his face. What are you staring at? Although I know I am handsome and charming, don’t look at me like that.”
Mu Ruyue carefully scrutinized him, unable to see where the handsomeness or charm was. All she saw was a kind-hearted old man.
She withdrew her direct gaze and said, “Master, I have nowhere to go.”
At this moment, Wu Yu was sorting herbs. Hearing this, his hand paused, and he glanced at her doubtfully: “Nowhere to go, what do you mean by that?”
“It’s simple,” Mu Ruyue shrugged her shoulders, “I’ve been disowned by my family.”
“Uh?” Wu Yu was taken aback, his eyes widening in surprise, “Is the old man from the Mu family sure he hasn’t taken the wrong medicine? Any power would be eager to snatch a genius like you, and he threw you out? Is he out of his mind? That old fool is an idiot, but this benefits me. Haha, now I am your only family.”
Mu Ruyue hadn’t heard this word for a long time, and her heart warmed: “Master, I have been your disciple for several months, and you haven’t given me anything yet. So, give me a house first, one in a quiet place where no one will disturb me.”
Wu Yu glanced at her and said, “Don’t you have a fiancé known as the Ghost King? Why not go to him?”
Although rumors outside painted the Ghost King poorly, the sect and the mortal world were different. Without seeing him in person, one wouldn’t jump to conclusions. Wu Yu was quite curious about this Ghost King.
He wondered if the man deserved this girl. If not, he didn’t mind going to the palace to threaten the Emperor to cancel the engagement. No one could force his precious disciple.
“Don’t you understand the difference between men and women? Even though that Dog Emperor issued the decree, the time hasn’t come yet. Besides, everything is subject to change. Who knows if I will really marry him?”
She initially accepted the decree to find a quiet place to expand her power. Who would have thought she could leave the Mu family so easily? Was there still a reason to marry him?
Suddenly, the pure eyes of Ye Wuchen appeared in her mind, causing Mu Ruyue’s heart to tremble…
“Little girl, I do have a house on Huayuan Street. I will give you the key later. You can live there.”
Just thinking about how Mu Qing would feel after driving away a peerless genius made Wu Yu burst into laughter. He wondered if the old man would regret it and bang his head against the wall.
“So you have a house in Feng City. Why do you still live in an inn?”
Faced with Mu Ruyue’s question, Wu Yu simply answered, “In the house, I have to hire servants and manage everything. Living in an inn, someone naturally takes care of my meals and daily life.”
Wu Yu’s laziness was well-known in the Qingyun Sect. Despite being the head alchemy master, he was unwilling to manage the pharmacists under him, focusing only on his cultivation.
Huayuan Street was the most tranquil street in Feng City. The street was lined with shops but had few pedestrians. Just as Mu Ruyue stepped into the house Wu Yu had given her, she felt a strong surge of Qi.
“It’s said that the houses on Huayuan Street are encircled by a Spirit Gathering Array. It seems to be true. Such dense Qi cannot be found elsewhere. Cultivating here would definitely yield twice the results with half the effort.”
