"Qianqian."
Zheng Ran furrowed his eyebrows: "Where have you been recently? Why are you with a human?"
As he spoke, Zheng Ran glanced at the human behind Zheng Qianqian, a trace of coldness flashing in his eyes.
He had always despised humans, having encountered many cunning and deceitful people, but he never imagined these humans would be so insidious, to the point of infiltrating the rfolk Clan through Qianqian.
It had to be said, Zheng Ran was right. Mu Ruyue indeed followed Zheng Qianqian to Zheng Family with the intention of using her...
"Father," Zheng Qianqian bit her lip, "Not long ago, in order to breakthrough to the Peak of King Rank, I was poisoned. She can cure my poison, that’s why I brought her back."
"Poisoned?"
With a swish, Zheng Ran hurriedly stood up, asking nervously: "What happened? How did you get poisoned?"
Zheng Qianqian pursed her lips, recounting in detail the explanation Mu Ruyue had given her earlier, then said: "Father, she can save , so..."
"Qianqian," Zheng Ran’s face darkened, "I won’t hold you accountable for leaving the rfolk Clan without permission. But, humans cannot be trusted. I will find a renowned master to examine you and treat you!"
"But, when will that be?"
Zheng Qianqian smiled bitterly: "I have a competition in just three days. Not only have I failed to break through to the Peak of King Rank, but I also can’t even hold up physically. Father, this competition is not just for the dicine field under our Zheng Family na, but also for the status of the number one family in Cloud City, so I absolutely cannot lose!"
Zheng Ran frowned, wanting to say sothing, but just at that mont, Zheng Lin followed closely into the hall. He glanced at Mu Ruyue, whose expression was calm, and then looked at Zheng Ran, saying: "Father, I trust my sister’s judgnt. These humans don’t seem malicious. Why not give her a chance?"
"Sigh!" Zheng Ran sighed, "Alright, for your sake, I’ll trust her."
With that, he looked towards Mu Ruyue and said coldly: "Human, I’m only letting you stay for the sake of my children! If I find out you have other motives, don’t bla for being unkind!"
Mu Ruyue lifted the corners of her lips, her gaze falling on Wu Wang: "Let’s go."
"Oh."
Wu Wang nodded obediently and followed Mu Ruyue towards the outside of the hall.
"What are you doing!" Zheng Ran said with a stern expression.
Mu Ruyue paused, then laughed coldly: "Since you suspect us of ulterior motives, leaving will save you from being overly suspicious. However, let remind you, if your daughter’s poison is not resolved within three days, her skills as an Alchemy Master will never progress beyond their current level."
After all, she had already arrived at the rfolk Clan and no longer needed Zheng Qianqian.
The only reason she ca here was because of a promise.
But since the people of Zheng Family were not welcoming, she saw no reason to stay...
"Wait!"
Zheng Lin was stunned for a mont, and seeing that they were about to leave, he hurriedly called out to stop her.
Then, he quickly walked up to her, raising a captivating smile on his exquisitely beautiful face. He bowed slightly and said: "Miss, my father was deceived by a human once, so he never trusts humans, but he ans no harm. Could you please stay to save my sister’s life? As long as you save my sister, I’ll agree to any request you make."
