Chapter 89: Incredible Secre

Chapter 89.1: Incredible Secret

She still remembered that it was at a spirit beast’s lair in the northern part of the Constellation Lands.

Since the beginning of time, Divine Lingzhi herbs was always closely guarded by a spirit beast and Qing Yu had also gone there to try her luck as well.

After she saved Mu Lai, they had spent about half a month’s time with each other. But due to some strange series of events, they encountered a beast stampede. It was not known what kind of a terrifyingly enormous creature could have caused the many thousands of beasts to become so agitated, which then kicked up a powerful sandstorm.

Qing Yu was caught off guard for a moment and was immediately pulled into it. By the time she landed, she suddenly found herself in the White Fen Lands’ border where she then came across Lou Jun Yao and his gang and she successfully seized from their hands a high vintage Polar Fire Core that was filled with robust spirit power.

For many years after that, Qing Yu did not meet the little girl again. Afterall, besides her name, she knew nothing else about the girl.

As she was highly focused only on her cultivation and did not pay much attention to worldly affairs, she was not aware that after Mu Lai escaped from calamity, Mu Lai sent people to search for her in that place for three whole months. When no news resulted from the search, Mu Lai was depressed for a long while and she became even more cold and aloof.

Now that they saw each other again, with the changes over four whole years, the puerile countenances of the two people had blossomed, far different from the way they had looked when they were younger. But there were certain people that you do not need to judge by the way they looked as the extraordinary flair and incomparable grace they carried just drew people’s gazes upon them unconsciously.

There was no doubt that both Qing Yu and Mu Lai belonged to such a group of people, ones who possessed that special and unique flair.

The first time they met, the little girl’s dressing had been highly unsuited for one at her age, so dark and sombre in all black, making her highly unapproachable.

But Qing Yu knew that the little girl had an extremely soft heart. Qing Yu then blinked her eyes and said in a soft and gentle voice: “Lai Lai, it’s been a long time.”

The body of the cold and indifferent girl in black clothes suddenly stiffened a moment, and the ears hidden beneath her hair reddened almost unnoticeably.

That affectionate term used to address her. That was the name she was called by, Lai Lai.

Even her father had not called her by such an affectionate name.

From that year that they lost contact, no matter how long had passed, she firmly believed that the person was still alive, but was just in a place that she did not know about.

Although so many years had passed, she had never once forgotten that such a person existed, the one whom even when she was abandoned by kin from her own clan, had rescued her from right under the sharp claws of that spirit beast.

The one who had bandaged her wounds, the one who had stayed together with her in that dangerous and pitch dark lair of the spirit beast.

The one whose back was shown to her unguardedly, and when food was found to ease their hunger, she was the one who ate first.

The one who took care of her when she was wounded, the one who kept watch while she slept.

It had been clear that that person was a little girl younger than she was, but had moved her heart completely, to care for someone so much, and to like so much.

And at that moment, that one person was right before her eyes, smiling at her.

Mu Chi was sensing the strange atmosphere in that scene, seeing that the expression on his older sister’s face did not feel right.

Just as he was suspecting that some dispute because of love or hatred had happened between them before, he suddenly saw Mu Lai’s body move, to take a few steps forward, before she stretched her hands out and grabbed Qing Yu in a big hug.

Mu Chi’s jaw almost dropped. “….. ? ? !”

[She….. hugged her! ?]

Mu Lai was very tall, the kind that could gaze over all the heads of others among females, so when she embraced the similarly tall Qing Yu in her arms, although she was just about half a head taller, she looked to be clearly taking position of the elder sister in that scene!

The two people, one in white and one in black, just stood them locked in an embrace, and it was hard to describe but it felt like they were kind of a….. well matched! ?

Chapter 89.2: Incredible Secret

Mu Chi was taken aback by his own shocking thought and he quickly shook his head to shake off that messed up thought in his head.

Doesn’t Qing Yu already have someone she likes already? And he had even met him before. It was a very handsome looking and highly powerful man, so he was certain that there was no problem with Qing Yu’s sexual orientation.

But as for his elder sister….. He really did not dare guarantee it!

For that strong and dominating woman, where men were weak as chickens in her eyes, she was much more manly then men around her.

There was no need to mention the women. To her, they were all just a bunch of frail and weakly white lotuses who plotted and schemed pretentiously against each other to get ahead. She hated those weak and dainty little ladies the most and if they come to encounter her on a bad day, she would not hesitate to speak with her fists.

He had never seen Mu Lai show anyone polite courtesy, needless to mention such intimate action.

So….. could the person that Mu Lai really likes….. be Qing Yu? !

The expression on Mu Chi’s face was utterly horrified and he had never thought that he could be so sharp!

He seemed to have discovered a very incredible secret! !

Suddenly being embraced, Qing Yu was stunned for a moment as well before she then said softly with a smile: “Have you been well?”

The scene felt strangely familiar. Why did her friends seem to like using an embrace to express their delight and excitement in their hearts?

Hearing that, Mu Lai released her and her gaze stared deeply at the young lady with her exquisite featured countenance. “So….. you are a daughter of the Duke of Eternal Peace.”

No wonder she had not been able to find a single trace no matter how hard she tried. She would never have thought that the young lady would really be from the Eternal Peace Duke Manor.

“I had not thought that the Young Miss of such a famous Elixir Cultivators family would be Lai Lai, you’re really very good!” Qing Yu smiled and said, her eyes two smiling arcs.

But after Mu Lai heard that, there was no hint of a smile on her face. Her eyes dimmed as she looked at Qing Yu. “Famous? Are you mocking me? If I was really so famous, then why have you not come look for me before? You must not care all that much for a friend like this right…..”

Those words were clearly said in a calm tone and without any traces of emotion, but Qing Yu could still detect a sliver of sadness and aggrievement.

Qing Yu then sighed slightly. “After that time, I was brought to the White Fen Lands and it took me a good half year of floundering before I managed to come back. The recovery of my younger brother’s legs was also going through a critical stage and we had to defend against rounds of scheming and assassination plots one after another. I really could not pull myself out of all that at all.”

About Qing Yu’s younger brother’s condition, back when the two of them just got to know each other, Mu Lai had come to know about it, aware that he was a youth with quite a unfortunate fate in life. So hearing Qing Yu mention that, she could not help but ask. “How is he now?”

“He can already stand up. Back when I came to land in the White Fen Lands, I actually came across a superior grade Polar Fire Core. That kid then received fortuitous luck out of misfortune where not only were his legs cured, his meridians were cleansed and boosted, to turn into a prodigy from his wrecked and ruined body.” Qing Yu shook her head as she said with a smile, comforted by the great fortune of that silly little fella back home.

Mu Lai raised her head up slowly. “That is also sweetness that came only after so much bitter suffering.” After saying that, she then remembered something and raised her eyes up to ask: “In the selection trials of the sects that are six months away, have you made any decisions about that?”

Qing Yu was a little surprised by Mu Lai’s question. “Mm. Both Little Bei and I will be going to the Faint Mist Sect.”

“What a coincidence.” Mu Lai said as she raised an eyebrow. “I am also going to the Faint Mist Sect, but I am not interested in their selection trials at all. I need the Faint Mist Sect’s spirit spring water to help me breakthrough to become a Golden Grade level Elixir Cultivator.”

Qing Yu nodded her head in understanding and then smiled. “Then that means that I will have another companion at that time.”

“Great, then it’s agreed that we’ll meet there.” Mu Lai said as her gaze deepened. “This time, I will not be unable to find you anymore.”

Qing Yu could not help but be speechless and to laugh helplessly.

On the side, Mu Chi watched how the two of them were chatting away merrily and he was already numb from the shock. To think that the haughty and arrogant woman could really have such a gentle side to her. He was almost blinded by this absolutely incredible sight.

But there was one thing he was even more certain of. The person Mu Lai liked was definitely Qing Yu!

The good looking face was twisted up into a ball. [Should he….. be kind hearted and go remind Qing Yu? She was afterall someone he had liked before and although she did not like him back, but having caught Mu Lai’s eye….. that was a really very dangerous thing!]

On the other side, Mu Lai was instead waving for him to go over, her demeanor showing a rare moment of amicability, where even her icy face that would not change in a thousand years was now showing a faint hint of a smile. “Ah Chi, Qing Yu is the only friend that I recognize and she had saved my life before. But….. How did you two come to know each other?”

Mu Lai had not forgotten that he had been the one who suggested that he would go find Qing Yu. He had never thought that the person she had not been able to find for so many years had just been found by him.

But Mu Chi had been in the Limitless Sect all this time and just came out occasionally once in a while. He would always either come back to the Mu Family to see his father or go look for his friends for drinks. So how had he come to know Qing Yu?

Mu Chi had not yet responded when Qing Yu said helplessly with a light laugh: “I really have quite a strong affinity with you siblings. He had a bit too much to drink before and fell into other people’s treachery, where he fell in my courtyard gravely poisoned. I saved him.”

“Mm. And extorted a million in gold out of me.” Mu Chi then said, as he cast a mournful glance at her.

Hearing that, Mu Lai snorted derisively and her face turned contemptuous. “Do you know how high Qing Yu’s level is as an Elixir Cultivator? The elixirs she cultivate are of full and complete purity, without the slightest contamination of any impurities. Almost not a single Elixir Cultivator in these lands is able to achieve such a perfect level of purity at all. Do you that if one of her elixirs is taken out to be sold in the black market, it will be a loss at a million in gold?”

Mu Chi was speechless. “…..” [So he has earned from this?]

But….. he had only made just one statement. Sis, aren’t you being too highly protective here? [And look clearly here. This is your younger brother you are saying that too. Don’t you think you are defending the wrong person here? ?]

Qing Yu could not help but laugh as she watched the two siblings squabbling with each other. She then looked out at the sky and saw that it was nearing the dawn as the colours were just about to change.

As the people from the Assassination Temple had been too worried about their comrade’s injuries, they had immediately taken Ah Zhan back to his room upon hearing Qing Yu’s instructions, cleaning out his wounds and putting him in the bath to absorb the poison out of him.

Mu Lai and the rest spoke for a while out there and they then went together to check on the man’s condition.

Because he had to soak in the water for a good four hours, the man was still in the bathtub as the steam rose around him. His eyes were closed and his face had become a little rosy from the comforting heat.

After the malevolent and horrifying looking snake head that had invaded his body was now gone, it could be seen that the man was actually exceptionally good looking. The exquisite features on his face did not pale in comparison to a woman’s, eyes deepset, his stunning brows extending almost to his temples, the kind of man that captivated people with just one glance. It was not known just how stunning those eyes would be when they were open.

But the most attractive part of that face was at the edge just below his left eye, where there was a black floral blossom barely the size of a fingernail, small and petite. Even though it was so tiny, the layers of its petals could be seen, its shape highly unique, a species that had never been seen before.

With that black blossom under his eye, it gave him an added sense of devilish mystery.
