âMiss Mu Leng, I have some questions with alchemy I would like to ask you, mind helping me with the solution?â A young man scampers over to the ladyâs side and looked on with expectant eyes.
When the others saw how the youngster was able to brave the pressure and go on over like so, its normal for them to be annoyed. However, it also gave them courage to join the fray. In no time at all, this Mu Leng has become surrounded by excited individuals of various backgrounds.
âMiss Mu Leng, your alchemic skills are truly admirable. Forget about being first within the Misty Fairy House, you should be first even among the Medicine Sect and Holy Land!â
âIsnât that right? When I left a couple of days ago to take a short travel in the outside world, I actually heard the Medicine Sectâs leader saying heâs found his long-lost granddaughter. Itâs said the girl is more capable than her own grandfather in the art of alchemy, but I say its nothing more than bluffs and air. How can that person be more skilled than Miss Mu Leng?â
Faced with the worshipping looks and flattering compliments of the crowd, this lady actually managed to keep her ego in check. Thatâs something not everyone could do, especially under such circumstances. This goes to show the level of maturity and intellect this girl has, which was clearly above the rest of her peers.
âIâm sorry everyone,â Mu Leng scans the crowd around herself and spoke in an apologetic tone. âToday is the Youth Exchange so I can only answer a couple of question. I fear anymore than that would be beyond the timeframe allowed in todayâs event. Also⦠words of degrading matters like today mustnât be spoken again in public. I hope everyone can remember my advice.â
The relationship between the Misty Fairy House and the Medicine Sect has never been the best to begin with. This could be seen in the disputes thatâs constantly occurring between the disciples of both powers. Now if word were to be spread of her name in such manner, then it could only cause trouble for herself.
Look at that! Miss Mu Lengâs alchemic skill is not only high, sheâs also not an arrogant woman like the one from the Medicine Sect. What a wondrous woman who cares for others! Thoughts like these were running rampant among the na?ve youngsters.
Itâs simply too easy to sway a mind thatâs not fully matured or experienced the harshness of the worldâ¦.
Meanwhile at one corner of the boat, Bai Yan was listening in on everything with her brows arched. âIt canât be right? I still got hit when lying on the floor?â
Whatâs this all about? Iâm just attending some random event and things still ended up on my headâ¦.
Understanding his motherâs woe, the little fox licks the back of her hand in a soothing gesture. With that done, the faithful son then shifts his gaze over to Mu Leng. Just that instead of the warmth look he shows to Bai Yan, the boyâs eye gradually turned into a bloodthirsty red like his old manâs when irked.
âHmm?â The lecherous man standing next to the shining girl didnât care for all the attention, heâs used to this sort of fan craze in his life even if it was the negative version; instead, heâs now focused on Bai Yan whoâs standing in the corner.
âWhatâs wrong?â Mu Leng asks, her brow furrowing after noticing the oddity: âDid something happen?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âItâs nothing.â Thatâs said, the womanizer known as Xun Huan then retracted his gaze before being caught. For some strange reason, heâs getting a familiar vibe from the unknown woman wearing that veil like heâs seen her somewhere.
I must be imagining thingsâ¦.
Although Mu Leng didnât raise a comment over this, she did however turn her head over to the same direction as her partner. Almost immediately, her forehead had wrinkled into a knot before eventually loosening them again with a smile on that face.
âIt getting late everyone, letâs go inside first. During the exchange, Iâm sorry, but I will have to limit it to ten questions.â
The crowd got quiet and turned to their seats as instructed. Thankfully the dragon boat was a huge vessel and could accommodate this many. Otherwise, some poor saps would have to standing during the entire occasion.
âMiss Mu Leng, I have a question to ask youâ¦â
