Mu Ruyue’s heart gradually sank.
She hoped that nothing had happened to Wuchen...
While Yi Shaochen went to search for dicinal materials, Mu Ruyue returned to her room. Since advancing to the Dark Origin Realm, she had been able to attempt refining Earth-grade Peak Elixirs.
Unfortunately, what she currently lacked were the necessary dicinal ingredients and money...
Moreover, Xiao Yue was gravely injured and unable to revert to human form, so her top priority was to heal his injuries...
Just as she was hesitating, a voice ca from outside the door, "Miss Mu, soone is here to see you."
Mu Ruyue slightly furrowed her brows and, after pondering for a mont, said, "Wait for in the study."
"Yes, Miss Mu!"
...
Outside the study, Mu Ruyue slowly raised her hand, pushed the door open, and was montarily stunned upon seeing the two n inside.
They were two middle-aged n.
One wore Qing Yi, his face stern, his eyes sharp like those of a hawk. The other was clad in dark clothing, his gaze chilling like frost-laced wind blades, landing on Mu Ruyue as she entered.
Mu Ruyue slightly frowned.
She recognized these two n as the ones who had accompanied the Emperor that day from the Ouyang Family. She wondered why they had co to seek her out.
"Miss Mu, we apologize for the intrusion today," the man in Qing Yi slowly withdrew his gaze and spoke seriously, "I am Ouyang Yunjin, and this is Ouyang Jing. We co from the Ouyang Family, though I assu you already know our identities."
Ouyang Yunjin stated their identities directly, thus precluding Mu Ruyue from feigning ignorance.
Mu Ruyue smiled faintly, "Why have you co to find ? Don’t tell you want to take Xiao Yue back?"
"You do indeed know the demon beast cos from our Ouyang Family," Ouyang Yunjin finally revealed a slight smile. "Indeed, it is ours. I arranged for the Emperor to test you with it. Since it wishes to follow you, I won’t force it to return to the Ouyang Family. However, the reason I’m here today is for another matter!"
"What matter?" Mu Ruyue’s voice was calm, seemingly devoid of emotion.
Ouyang Yunjin didn’t mind her tone and said with a light smile, "I am here to ask for your help!"
"Ask for help?" Mu Ruyue laughed, "I am but an ordinary woman. What can I do that would lead the Ouyang Family to seek my help?"
"An ordinary woman? An ordinary woman can’t get Yi Shaochen to seek collaboration, nor can she command Xiao Yue. Truly, are you just an ordinary woman?"
Mu Ruyue’s pupils slightly constricted.
He actually knew about her collaboration with Yi Shaochen!
"Miss, do you know why the Ouyang Family can stand above Lingyun Country?" Ouyang Yunjin, sensing her inner doubt, chuckled lightly. "Because every move by the royal family is under our surveillance. Yi Shaochen is still too naive, thinking that such actions will gain him power, even aspiring to overthrow our Ouyang Family’s rule. With his capabilities, he could never achieve such a feat! However, Miss Mu, this ti I am truly seeking your help. The pattern in Wujie indeed needs changing. Hidden Families should maintain the decorum of the hidden world and not ddle in worldly affairs, especially when so individuals’ ambitions are far too great, even fantasizing about uniting Wujie..."
Mu Ruyue looked at the two n in front of her and said nothing, her mind filled with thoughts...
