Chapter 324

Purple Glow Ultimate Jade

“Since when did you own a store, Gramps?”

Ku Mu gave the two a nod. “You two have changed quite a bit.”

“Greetings, Sir Ku Mu.” The couple gratefully bowed on their knees.

“Get up. I’m no longer the proprietor. I’m a mere Golden Core Realm cultivator now.” Ku Mu sounded different to his usual tone.

Ji Zitang respectfully replied, “Cultivation has no effect on what you did for us. You took us in and passed your herb knowledge on to us, taught us to cultivate and entrusted this clinic to us.”

“We heard about your misfortune. Sadly, our cultivation is too poor to help you. Sorry,” expressed Gu Xiaomin, apologetic.

“Don’t worry about it. I have luck on my side.”

The couple rose and asked, “You must be the famous Mu Yu?”

“I am. It’s good to meet you.”

The couple exchanged thoughts via eye contact. Gu Xiaomin then apologised, “We did not recognise you before. It was mainly because of your different appearance... Please forgive us, Sir Ku Mu.”

“Don’t sweat it. It’s been thirty years, after all. I didn’t know you two were still here.”

“We did not want to let the clinic you and Madam Yuyan started go to waste,” asserted Ji Zitang, wondering how Ku Mu’s changed so much.

“Madam Yuyan? Gramps, you didn’t open this clinic with my shiniang, did you?”

“You have a problem with it?”

“No, not at all, haha.”

Ku Mu set up a medical clinic to help injured cultivators at Twenty-Five Kilometres South Garden after departing from Pill Cauldron Sect and before going to the valley. Twenty-Five Kilometres South Garden was where he first met Miao Yuyan, where he brought her back to the clinic when he chanced upon her in her injured state. She decided to help out at the clinic to repay him and named the place Qing Yu, which was a combination of their names.

Around the corner, they bumped into two familiar faces, the white ape fiend king and Qiao Xue. Pleasant surprise flitted across Qiao Xue’s face before she averted her gaze. The fiend king, on the other hand, sauntered over and stared Mu Yu down. “We meet again. Qiao Xue, I suggest you drop him. I caught him at Hell on Earth. Not even I would want to go there. You can’t judge a book by its cover.”

“You were the one who went, yet you’re accusing me?”

“How would you know I was there if you didn’t go?” The white ape fiend king asked with a smirk.

“That’s my question!”

Wanwan looped her arm around Ku Mu’s. “Just admit it if you went, Mu Yu. What’s the issue? I saw you, but you didn’t bring Uncle with you. Otherwise, we could’ve had some fine, right, Uncle?”

Ku Mu ripped his arm out of Wanwan’s hold and stomped off.

Mu Yu pointed to the fiend king and said, “Wanwan, this man is tough, too. How about you find somewhere to have some fun with him? I need to have a word with Qiao Xue.”

“I wouldn’t stoop so low as to do it with beasts.” Wanwan ambled off.

“You think everyone is you, thinking of erotic things all day?” The fiend king puffed his chest and started.

“Who was staring at her peach the entire time?”

“What’s with that language? I was admiring her aura.”

Qiao Xue intervened, stating, “Uncle, please let me have a word with him in private.”

“You should be careful of frauds, Qiao Xue. Look at the real him. He’s scum. I’m going to go to Hell on Earth every day from now to watch him. I’ll smash him every time I catch him.” The white ape fiend king pushed open the door and headed in.

Mu Yu awkwardly smiled and explained, “I really didn’t go there t-“

“So you admit you went?” Qiao Xue looked as though she was resisting a laugh.

“I... I did, but not for the reason you’re thinking. I j-“

“I know you’re not that sort of person. You don’t need to explain.”

Mu Yu heaved a breath of relief, thinking, finally somebody normal.
