Chapter 819: Chapter 817: Is Su Yingxue from the Great Wei Dynasty?
Seeing Mu Fei again, Su Yingxue didn’t show a pleasant face, after all, she didn’t like to deal with abnormal people.
But the look Mu Fei gave her was especially strange. At first, he was very excited, but as he calmed down, it turned into a still pool of dead water.
It seemed waveless, but Su Yingxue always felt that beneath his eyes lurked turbulent waves.
Yet she was sure she didn’t know Mu Fei, and there was absolutely no connection between them.
However, on her way there, she heard Ah Hong say that the owner of Xi Lou used to be a woman, a slave master with the highest status in the Ghost Market, who had lived in Xi Lou for twenty years, and her position had never been challenged by anyone; she had also kept quite a few male pets.
Mu Fei was one of her male pets.
However, Mu Fei was ruthless. He killed Hua Yi and took her place to become the largest slave master in the Ghost Market.
This was the most sensational event in the Ghost Market in the past two years.
But those living in the Ghost Market were no ordinary people, so this bit of gossip entertained the masses for a while and was soon forgotten.
“Miss Su, are you from the Great Wei Dynasty?”
Mu Fei waved his fan, and Ah Jing, who was serving at the side, passed a cup of tea to Su Yingxue.
Her eyes were bright, seemingly not at all in the Ghost Market but acting as a maid in an ordinary family, exhibiting even more color than before.
With her lips pursed, Su Yingxue took the tea cup but did not drink, replying to Mu Fei, “I come from the Great Cheng Dynasty. My identity, you probably bought with a female slave. You paid such a big price to see me; are you plotting against the Great Wei Dynasty, or against me?”
After two days in the Ghost Market, Su Yingxue had already adapted well.
Although she didn’t think it was a good habit, she took it as a sign of her strong adaptability.
Mu Fei’s mouth curled up, his red lips revealing an enchanting charm, “Worthy of being the Ninth Princess Consort, with exceptional courage and insight. I won’t hide it from you, Miss Su. Before coming to the Ghost Market, I was also from the Great Wei Dynasty. The first time I saw you, I felt you looked very familiar, as if we had met before.”
“Sorry, I’ve never been to the Great Wei, you must be mistaken,” Su Yingxue said indifferently, but suspicion arose in her heart.
Indeed, she had never been to the Great Wei, but her mother had intricate connections to it.
Before she met Rong Sheng, she suspected her mother was from the Great Wei. After meeting Rong Sheng, he said their souls from another world had been arranged with their own identities by Wu Dao, and none of them were ordinary, so her mother was the same.
But even Rong Sheng didn’t know her mother’s identity.
If she wanted to find out, she could only rely on herself to investigate.
“It’s a pity then. The Great Wei once had a famous beauty who looked exactly like you, Miss Su. It seems I’ve been too homesick, and thus mistaken someone else for her,” Mu Fei said with a tone containing an apology, very obligingly nodding to Su Yingxue in apology.
To her, his behavior wasn’t humility but seemed like… a habit ingrained over many years.
Mu Fei wanted to change it, but couldn’t.
This habit was an instinctive desire to please women.
After being discovered by Su Yingxue, a hint of annoyance quickly flashed through his eyes.
Ah Jing seemed to notice too, as the atmosphere in the room turned a bit gloomy, “Young master, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”
Mu Fei’s roar was hoarse with rage, startling Ah Jing.
She quickly bowed and left the room.
Seeing this, Su Yingxue stood up to take her leave, “If there’s nothing wrong, Master Mu, I will take my leave.”
She didn’t like Mu Fei and so didn’t stay long.
