“Feng’er.”

Tian Yuan frowned. His apprentice was good at everything, but his temperament wasn’t calm enough.

Only then did Ye Tianfeng remember that his master was still there. He hurriedly suppressed the raging fire within him and said, “Master, this disciple was too outraged just now. That’s why…”

“It’s nothing, but it’s hard to take on the bigger picture with a temper like yours. Learn more from others.” Tian Yuan sighed helplessly. “By the way, a peerless genius was discovered during the test recently. That genius even moved Master Wu Yu into wanting to accept an apprentice.”

Astonishment flashed in Ye Tianfeng’s eyes.

He’s been a member of Qingyun School for over a decade, so did he still not understand Master Wu Yu’s temper? That old man had eyes above his head and a venomous, ruthless gaze. He had once wanted to worship him as a teacher, but was well and truly rejected.

Given his status in Qingyun School, if he was accepted as his disciple, he certainly could have walked sideways inside.

“I wonder which genius has moved Master Wu Yu into taking on a disciple.”

He was also curious as to who could catch Master Wu Yu’s attention, who had such high vision.

“It’s a young girl in her teens.” Tian Yuan smiled faintly. “But we don’t know her name, nor her identity. I’m not telling you this because I want your help to find her. After all, you’re a member of Qingyun School and actions that are too obvious would attract the attention of other forces. Master Wu Yu has given word that this matter must not be made known to anyone. The reason I’m telling you this now is to make you understand that there’s a peerless genius in Feng City. I’m afraid it’ll be a little difficult for you to get that woman you like to win the big game in a few months.”

Ye Tianfeng’s heart sank. “Master Wu Yu, even if Ting’er gets second place, I’m sure Imperial Grandfather won’t have anything to say.”

“Indeed,” Master Tian Yuan said as he stood up. “However, in order for her to enter Qingyun School, she must get first place. Compared to Your Royal Highness’ status and as a disciple of Qingyun School, don’t you want her to be first? Don’t worry; I’m always prepared.”

Ye Tianfeng’s heart missed a beat as he looked at Tian Yuan. “What Master means is…”

“Haha.” Tian Yuan stroked his beard and smiled vaguely. “I remember you seemed to have said that that woman is a third-ranked warrior. I have an Azure Essence Pill here that can help improve her strength. Let’s go. I’ll go with you first and also see if that woman is worthy of my apprentice.”

Azure Essence Pills, which could help warriors below the fifth rank to break through one rank, could only be taken once in a warrior’s lifetime.

Ye Tianfeng was instantly excited, his Adam’s apple bobbing up and down, “Then I’d like to thank Master for your kindness to Ting’er.”

Inside the Mu Residence, there’s been joy ever since Mu Qing’s return.

Mu Ting’er and Mu Yixue were chatting around Mu Qing, leaving peals of silver bell laughter in their wake. Suddenly, the sharp-eyed youngest daughter of the Mu Family glanced at Mu Ruyue, who had just stepped in through the door, and the corners of her mouth couldn’t help but tilt upwards.

“I’ve long said that His Royal Highness isn’t worthy of a certain someone, but she refused to listen. Now, it’s great that she’s going to marry a fool, haha. I heard long ago that that idiot not only isn’t smart but is also as ugly as a ghost—he scared a maid out of her wits! Do you think that certain someone would go mad the night she sees the Ghost King’s face after getting married?”

Ugly?

Mu Ruyue raised an eyebrow. That handsome, harmless face came to mind, along with that innocent pair of eyes that were seductive in their innocence.

Such a bewitching man had become ghostly and ugly to the public?

Rumors were indeed scary.

Perhaps because he rarely left the prince’s mansion and nobody helped him clear things up, in time, everyone thought he was ugly beyond recognition.

Who would’ve thought that his face was too handsome that it could render all living things dull?

Mu Ruyue wasn’t going to pay attention to this woman, but the other party was simply unwilling to leave her alone. As she walked towards her room, a dainty figure blocked her in front.

“Mu Ruyue, are you deaf? Didn’t you hear me talking to you?”

Gazing at the girl’s snowy fair face, Mu Ruyue replied in surprise, “Were you talking to me?”

“You…”

Mu Yixue’s pink face flushed with anger. Just when she swung her hand at Mu Ruyue, Mu Ting’er suddenly stopped her. “Enough, Xue’er. She’s your biological sister after all, so you can’t strike your sister no matter how angry you are. Otherwise, I’ll disown you.”
