Chapter 353: Chapter 354: The Dean’s Shock (Part Five)
The yellowed pages emanated an endless vitality, and under his astonished gaze, their stems stood upright. Such a bizarre scene made both old men simultaneously dumbfounded, completely at a loss.
“Qi Nourishing Medicine? Could this be the legendary Qi Nourishing Medicine?” Shen Ran watched with shock as Silver Leaf was enveloped in a green glow, his expression as though he had seen a ghost. Gradually his eyes turned toward Mu Ruyue, “A monster, this person is a monster! Otherwise, how could she be abnormal to such an extent?”
Shen Ran was deeply struck, encountering such a genius; even the proudest person would lose their arrogance.
The Dean suddenly came back to his senses and rushed over, only to stop in front of the Silver Leaf pot. He carefully lifted it, then suddenly threw his head back and roared with laughter: “Hahaha, my Silver Leaf has actually come back to life!”
He had never been as excited as he was now, almost as if his own son had come back to life.
“Silver Leaf, my dear treasure, you must never leave me again,” the Dean said with trembling hands, his words becoming incoherent in his excitement.
As if remembering something, he turned to look at Mu Ruyue: “Girl, I don’t even know how to thank you. Silver Leaf is my lifeline; if it weren’t for you, I would have lost my lifeline. Tell me, what do you need me to do for you?”
Mu Ruyue’s eyes twinkled slightly: “Weren’t you going to talk to me about the Dan Book? I only have one demand, the Dan Book will be mine from now on, Central State Academy cannot take it away.”
Although Yan Jin’s strength was formidable, he still couldn’t stand against a behemoth like Central State Academy. If Central State Academy wanted to take away the Dan Book, she would have no choice but to fight a life and death struggle.
The Dean was startled, then suddenly became angry: “Central State Academy wants to take your Dan Book? Which bastard wants to do this? Who is it? Tell me, and I, the Dean, will eradicate him!”
Mu Ruyue gave him a blank look: “That person… isn’t it you?”
“Me?” The fire in the Dean’s heart slowly subsided as he pointed to his own nose, asking in confusion, “I want to take your Dan Book? When did I ever want to do that?”
Hearing this, Mu Ruyue inadvertently froze: “Then why did you call for me today?”
“Oh, that’s because,” the Dean chuckled, “I just wanted to see what kind of genius the Dan Book had chosen. It seems its choice wasn’t wrong, and also, the ancestors in the back mountain want to meet the master of the Dan Book. When do you have time to come with me and see the founders?”
Mu Ruyue’s face instantly darkened.
Is this why this old man had summoned her? Just to see what sort of person the Dan Book had chosen? Then why had she been flattering him and helping him treat Silver Leaf?
And all that so the old man would owe her a favor, daring to expose her abilities before him.
Suddenly, Mu Ruyue smiled with a curl of her lips, her words through gritted teeth: “Meeting the ancestors? Sorry, I’m busy! Now that you’ve seen me, I will take my leave!”
The Dean stood there dazed, scratching his head in confusion as he watched Mu Ruyue’s departing figure: “What’s wrong with this girl? She was fine just a moment ago, has she taken the wrong medicine?”
Hadn’t she said she’d admired his great reputation for a long time? So why did she turn her face so quickly?
The Dean felt a sense of injustice; he hadn’t done anything, right? There was no one more innocent than him in this world…
