Chapter 524: Chapter 526: Immortal Doctor Meeting (Part 5)
Hate?
How could he not hate?
Every time he thought of that incident, his heart was filled with a bone-chilling hatred, and it was this that drove him to strive for greater strength. However, he had joined the Medicine Sect for only a short time, so he couldn’t yet make a significant mark. Out of necessity, he was then prompted to seek shortcuts to success.
When Mu Ruyue turned him into a puppet, she didn’t erase his past memories but merely imprinted her own mark in his mind. Thus, he naturally hadn’t forgotten anything about his past…
“Have you ever considered that the Medicine Sect could easily find out that the Alchemy Tower isn’t really your force?”
Lingyun was slightly startled and bowed his head in shame, “It was my desire for revenge that clouded my mind, leading me to make such a reckless move. Thankfully, my master appeared and led me out of my confusion.”
Mu Ruyue touched her nose, speechless. Lead him out of confusion? She seemed not to have done such a grand thing…
“Prepare a report about the Immortal Medicine Sect and the four major forces and deliver it to the Alchemy Tower tomorrow. After that, you are dismissed.”
Mu Ruyue yawned and turned to look at Yan Jin, “Let’s go.”
Yan Jin nodded his head, his domineering gaze swept over Lingyun, and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly. It looked like this Puppetry Technique was indeed quite useful…
After returning to the Alchemy Tower, Mu Ruyue saw the man waiting for her at the window. She hadn’t informed Ye Wuchen about tonight’s events but had asked Yan Jin to assist her instead, which clearly left the man unhappy, his gaze filled with sorrow and grievance.
As if he had been abandoned…
However, Mu Ruyue ended up being so tired the next day she could hardly stand straight. It was hard to understand why Ye Wuchen had such stamina—could it be a matter of strength?
That was quite possible…
The next day, after accommodating Old Master Xiao and returning to the Xiao Family to acknowledge her relatives, Mu Ruyue went back to the Alchemy Tower. With the Xiao Family’s protection, they would likely face no danger…
But as she entered the Alchemy Tower, she was greeted by strange expressions, which left Mu Ruyue rather puzzled, “What happened?”
“Tower Master,” Wushan gave her a peculiar look and said, “Someone is looking for you.”
Mu Ruyue’s eyebrows lifted, and her gaze swept past the crowd to fall upon that firm face, understanding why they were looking at her so oddly.
“Master!”
Lingyun, upon seeing Mu Ruyue, was overjoyed and hastened forward, saying, “These are the materials you requested. I have prepared them.”
“Hmm.”
Mu Ruyue nodded and casually accepted them, “You are dismissed, go out.”
Lingyun was taken aback and looked at her with a hint of grievance, “Master, are you abandoning me?”
It must be said that Lingyun was rather handsome, with a chiseled face and a stalwart appearance, which combined with his expression, could indeed evoke sympathy. However, before Mu Ruyue could reply, someone grabbed Lingyun by his collar and flung him out of the door.
Ye Wuchen’s face was dark, his purple eyes filled with a frosty coldness. After giving Lingyun a chilly glance, he approached Mu Ruyue and only relaxed his handsome features when he stood behind her.
But the others were clearly still trying to comprehend what had happened…
Yesterday, Mu Ruyue had told them all not to interfere, that she would handle the situation herself. Everyone thought she went on a midnight killing spree, but who could have imagined that the proud disciple from the Medicine Sect would actually call her ‘Master’?
What exactly had transpired last night?
