Everyone looked towards Chu Beiqing.
Chu Beiqing, thick-skinned, wasn’t burned on the finger. Seeing everyone staring at him, he felt a bit embarrassed, scratched his head, and revealed a set of white teeth.
"Yue... girl... I’m brewing dicine again..."
"Uncle Chu, thank you, for helping brew the dicine."
Murong Ziyue smiled, her eyes showing a bit of emotion; the people in the School Clinic were all very good to her.
Here, she felt a sense of familial bonds that she had never felt in Fengdong.
"Hey, hey, fool, why are you interrupting? Where were we? Xin Lin, you’re not bold enough to exchange veins, are you? Such a wicked thing, and yet you can still do it!"
Mu Chen was shocked.
Even Fengdong may not commit such an evil act.
That would be a vein exchange, switching soone else’s Spirit Martial ridian onto oneself.
The one gaining the vein might say it’s nice, but the one losing it might not survive or would be crippled.
This thod seed all too familiar.
Mu Chen recalled seeing such a deceitful thod sowhere before.
Yes, the Corpse King!
Xin Lin’s sinister way was exactly like what the Corpse King did back then.
"I haven’t said whose vein I’m exchanging, so how is it wicked? If I were to exchange it with Chang Yan’s vein, then it would be a case of revenge, but... I might not even fancy her Martial ridian."
Xin Lin scoffed.
The vein that was shattered in Ziyue was the Heavenly Heart ridian.
Chang Yan couldn’t beat Ziyue, so her Martial ridian couldn’t be that great either.
"That’s easy to say, but do you think Heavenly Veins are so easy to find? Wait, are you actually planning to exchange Ziyue’s vein?"
Mu Chen expressed concern; he had a bad feeling about this.
"No need to worry about this; I have my own judgnt. All you need to do is help persuade Fengdong to let Ziyue stay."
Xin Lin waved dismissively.
To outsiders, exchanging veins sounded inconceivable, but to Xin Lin, it seed plausible.
If it doesn’t work, there’s also the possibility of directly devouring a Heavenly Vein.
Besides humans, even the Martial ridian in a Dark Beast can be devoured, though such Dark Beasts are hard to find.
"I can’t say I’m entirely sure, since she hasn’t really reached the Blood Realm, and the Old Family Master is a very stubborn man, and the Xiliao side isn’t easy to deal with either."
Mu Chen hesitated for a mont.
"If I can secure a top-three position in the Little Eagle Conference, would that convince the Old Family Master?"
Murong Ziyue said.
"Top three? Murong Ziyue, are you sure? That’s the Little Eagle Chick Conference attended by students from the entire Eastern Continent. Although it’s not as full of masters as the real Eagle Chick Conference, this year’s competition is sowhat special..."
Mu Chen was taken aback. He was about to persuade Murong Ziyue but then stopped himself halfway.
The details of the Little Eagle Conference hadn’t been officially announced yet, and no one, including him, was allowed to leak any information.
If anything were leaked, not only Mu Chen but even Qingtian Academy would be implicated.
"I will keep my word. I’ll definitely secure the top three. If I don’t, I’ll return to Fengdong and beg for punishnt. Then, whether you want to marry or be a servant, I’ll agree. What you risk at most is about three months of ti, but for , it’s my entire life."
Murong Ziyue said resolutely.
Mu Chen pondered for a mont.
He looked at Murong Ziyue, who had never been as determined and decisive as she was today.
"Alright, I’ll give it a try."
Mu Chen nodded.
