"…That's basically what happened."
When Yan Ge was done, the room finally fell silent again.
Mu Hongyu was dazed.
Yan Ge waited for a while. Seeing that she didn't move, he stretched his hand out and waved it in front of her. "Hongyu? Hongyu?"
Mu Hongyu recovered her senses and looked at him with a complicated gaze. "This means that you long knew that Liuyue had the music score, so you specifically chased her to Country Yao Chen?"
Yan Ge nodded. "Yeah! But I later discovered that the music score had already recognized her as its owner, so I came back."
Actually, what Yan Ge said was right, but he left out the most important person. He really did not dare to say it!
Besides, he just acted according to his master's instructions. Only Master himself knew the specific reason. He could not say it even if he wanted to.
Mu Hongyu fell into deep thought.
She had long heard of that music score, and Yan Ge's explanation seemed flawless. Except…
"If it's just for that music score, Second Boss Yan, you seem to take care of her too much, right?"
Yan Ge immediately had a stern expression. "I have to! The music score is part of Fantasy Divine Hall, and it's very important. Since she's the owner of the music score, we have to do this."
Mu Hongyu asked, "Since it belongs to Fantasy Divine Hall, why does Zhen Bao Pavilion care so much?"
Yan Ge coughed. "Zhen Bao Pavilion and Fantasy Divine Hall are intricately connected. We also hope that the music score can successfully return to Fantasy Divine Hall."
"In this case, doesn't it mean that Fantasy Divine Hall wants to snatch Liuyue's music score?"
"Sigh, you can't say that. Don't you see that Fantasy Divine Hall treats her very politely? As long as she's in the Fantasy Divine Hall, doesn't it mean that the music score is around as well?"
Mu Hongyu thought for a moment and felt that it made sense, but she still felt that something was amiss.
Yan Ge said, "I've said all that I should. You should be satisfied now, right?"
Mu Hongyu took a deep breath in and tried hard to calm herself down. After some time, she then said, "I understand."
With that, she turned to leave.
Yan Ge hurriedly said, "Hey, you previously promised me that you'd keep this a secret!"
Mu Hongyu knitted her brows. "Actually, it's fine even if Liuyue finds out about this. She's not petty. Second Boss Yan, what are you worried about?"
Yan Ge sighed helplessly. "I know this. Actually, I've been finding a chance to talk to her properly, but I couldn't find an opportune time and thus dragged it until now. Hence, I would like you to temporarily keep it a secret. When I find the chance, I'll apologize to her personally."
Mu Hongyu thought for a long while and finally relented. "It's a deal."
Then, Mu Hongyu's figure rapidly disappeared from the room.
Yan Ge sighed deeply. He looked at the empty room and could not help but mutter, "It seems like she's really going to reach the Great Advanced Realm soon…"
…
After Mu Hongyu left Zhen Bao Pavilion, she returned to her own residence.
At this point, a ray of silver light flew up and slowly bloomed in midair.
She looked up.
Qi Han solved another Grandmaster-level Xuan formation.
According to this speed, he should be able to enter the Fantasy Divine Hall soon, right? Thinking of this, Mu Hongyu's gaze turned slightly, and she looked at the Fantasy Divine Hall.
At this time, Liuyue should also be watching Qi Han's situation. It would be better for me to talk to Liuyue later on. Besides, I seem to have faintly touched the Great Advanced Realm barrier!
