Chapter 394: Chapter 395: Breaking Through to Low-level Mortal Alchemist (Part 3)
“Old Man, don’t you know me by now? Regardless, I am on your side, and besides, I’ve been displeased with those old immortals for a long time. If it weren’t for my lack of strength, I would have turned against them decades ago.”
Listening to Xiao Baixuan’s words, the Dean’s expression slightly darkened, “Old Man Xiao, have you not let go of Yun Yan yet? If those old immortals hadn’t interfered, you might have married Yun Yan years ago…”
“Ah,” Xiao Baixuan shook his head and sighed, “Let’s not talk about the past anymore. Now that I’m old, all I think about are my descendants. It’s a pity that my two sons died young, and another came just to claim debts. I see Xiao Feng as a promising young man and want to pass the position of Family Head to him.”
“No!”
Xiao Baixuan had barely finished speaking when a voice came from beside him.
He turned his head to look at the woman next to him, asking aggrievedly, “Why not?”
“Because big brother is supposed to return to the Saint Realm to take over the old man’s position.”
“Then why not merge the two Xiao families? After all, Xiao Yun, the elder, originally belongs to the Xiao family…”
Mu Ruyue hesitated slightly, a firm look in her eyes, “If big brother Xiao Feng is willing, I will support him from behind. If he isn’t, no one can force him, not even you!”
Willing?
Xiao Baixuan chuckled bitterly. How could that boy be willing? He was reluctant even to return to the Xiao family, only agreeing because he was looking for someone.
Originally, he wanted to forcefully appoint him to this position, but now, with this girl’s statement, even if he wanted to do so, he couldn’t…
“Ah,” Xiao Baixuan sighed heavily, “What sins did I commit in my past lives to not be able to produce a good son? If Yun Yan had been my wife back then, maybe our son would have inherited our strengths…”
If Yun Yan were still alive…
Xiao Baixuan felt a slight pain in his heart; nonetheless, he was determined to find out who had killed her back then!
Looking at the deeply melancholic Xiao Baixuan, Mu Ruyue didn’t know what to say for a moment and thus changed the topic, “Dean, I have a list of herbal ingredients here; could you please help me prepare them?”
“Oh,” the Dean said puzzledly as he took the list handed over by Mu Ruyue, giving her a surprised look, “Girl, you are…”
Mu Ruyue touched her nose, “Refining elixirs.”
Her strength had now enabled her to attempt refining Low-level Mortal elixirs. However, because Little White had eaten all the herbs last time, she hadn’t been able to take action. Now only when her power was stronger could she protect those she wanted to protect.
Refining elixirs must not be taken lightly either!
“Three days, I will send the elixir to you in three days,” the Dean said, looking up after putting away the list.
“Then I will leave first.”
Mu Ruyue gave a slight smile and then turned under the gaze of the two elders, heading towards the door…
As she just stepped out, she saw a man standing with his back to a tree.
The setting sun cast a pale glow on the man, making him look so unrealistically beautiful…
The man also saw the woman who had come out, slowly moving away from behind the tree, a roguish smile curling at the corners of his lips as he walked towards her.
“Let’s go, we’re heading back.”
Mu Ruyue stared at the man’s noble, transcendent demeanor, then set her gaze upon his features, smiling softly, “Wuchen, I will take you to a place later, a world that only the two of us can enter…”
