Chapter 108 Such a Master and Disciple

The news that Mu Chen had level eight qualifications really made Mu Chen popular again.

Listening to the people around her praising Mu Chen generously, Ye Rong couldn't help but feel a deep sense of jealousy in her heart.

The reason why Ye Shi is with Muchen is actually related to the Ye family.

If the Mu family and the Ye family had not had an engagement, Ye Shi and Muchen would have never had the chance to meet.

The mother thought to herself that the engagement partners of the Ye and Mu families were not fixed, which meant that she actually had a chance.

In fact, she was the most suitable young person in the Ye family to be engaged to Muchen. However, Muchen had behaved very poorly since childhood, and was a typical second-generation rich kid. Her father thought that Muchen was hopeless, so he put the engagement on Ye Shi. Muchen also pushed for this behind the scenes.

When Ye Rong knew all this, she almost gritted her teeth.

If, in the beginning, this engagement had fallen on me, then perhaps now, I would be the one accompanying Mu Chen.

If she were Mu Chen's fiancée, then the fiancé who was so outstanding that no one could reach his level, countless Yuanshi, the Flame Talismans that were sold at sky-high prices on the black market, and all kinds of elixirs... would all be hers. Thinking of all this, Ye Rong felt dizzy.

Because of a slight change in the mind of his father and mother, all of this became Ye Shi's. Thinking of this, Ye Shi couldn't help but feel a little more resentful towards his parents whom he always respected.

"Ye Rong, aren't you going to get the mission?" A female student came over and asked Ye Rong.

"I'll go right away." Ye Rong replied.

"Why are you telling her about the mission? She's from a wealthy family and has plenty of money," said another female student.

"Really? Is she rich? No! She looks quite strapped for cash." The girl who reminded Ye Rong asked with some confusion.

Hearing the conversation between the two, Ye Rong's face suddenly turned red.

A warrior's training requires a large amount of Yuanshi. There are many rich children in the Holy Star Academy, but there are also many children from common families.

The academy provides some tasks for poor students so that they can earn a certain amount of Yuanshi.

Strong senior students in the martial arts academy can usually choose to go to the wild together to hunt monsters and collect spiritual herbs.

For freshmen, these tasks are too dangerous. Generally, freshmen can only choose to clean, assist teachers, help in the kitchen, help in the spiritual fields, and other rough and miscellaneous tasks.

The task Ye Rong had chosen before was to help out in the library. Although this task made Ye Rong complain a lot, many people envied her.

Helping out in the library, I could earn 20,000 shi a month, which was a huge sum of money for a poor freshman.

Ye Rong is the daughter of the Ye family after all. Twenty thousand Yuanshi is neither too much nor too little for Ye Rong. However, everything cannot withstand comparison. Thinking that Ye Shi does not have to do anything and there are hundreds of millions of Yuanshi waiting for him to spend, Ye Rong feels unbalanced.

Ye Rong looked at the Yuanshi card in her hand and felt depressed.

She wrote a letter to her father asking him to send some Yuanshi, but her father cried poor to her and scolded her for being useless. He said that Ye Shi, who was so beautiful, could have Mu Chen's support and had no worries about food and clothing, but she was so useless that she had to rely on her family after entering the college.

She wrote to Muchen asking her to send some Yuanshi over, but Muchen made all kinds of excuses and asked her to borrow money from Ye Shi.

If she could borrow money from Ye Shi, she would have done so long ago.

Ye Shi was really going too far! He was so rich, but he wouldn't even give him a fraction of his money. What a shameless and ungrateful guy!

When Ye Rong arrived at the mission hall, because she came too late, the easy and profitable missions had almost all been picked.

Ye Rong walked out of the mission hall trembling all over, feeling extremely angry.

What are those people in the Mission Hall doing? They actually recommended the job of Bone Remover to her.

She's a girl! And yet they made her do the work of slaughtering chickens and sheep?

That person even said that Ye Shi used to be a bone cutter. He had to endure a lot of hardships to become a successful person. It was because Ye Shi was a bone cutter that he became so successful now.

Ye Rong gritted her teeth. Ye Shi had been following the family chef since he was a child. He could tolerate doing that kind of menial job, but she, Ye Rong, could not.

"This is the Nine-Turn Body Refining Liquid, there are nine bottles in total. You will use one bottle every day for the next nine days. When you have finished drinking all the body refining liquid and adjusted your body to the best condition, you can take the pill." Mu Chen reminded.

Ye Shi nodded and said seriously, "Okay, Muchen, I'll be in seclusion in two days."

Mu Chen looked at Ye Shi, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "Why did you suddenly think of seclusion?"

Ye Shi pursed his lips and said worriedly, "Because I don't want to be left too far behind by you."

Mu Chen smiled and said, "Is that so! Then you have worked hard."

"Mu Chen, if I am left far behind by you, will you dislike me?" Ye Shi looked at Mu Chen uneasily.

Mu Chen knocked Ye Shi's forehead speechlessly, "What are you thinking about?"

"By the way, I heard that you bought a lot of level five spiritual fruits." Ye Shi said with a blink of his eyes.

Mu Chen nodded and said, "Yeah! How did you know?"

"Master, is the spiritual fruit you wrote down for making a cake for Master?" Ye Shi asked.

Mu Chen shook his head with regret and said, "It's not for your master, it's for making wine for my master." Jing Chiyan actually knew that he bought spiritual fruits. It seems that he not only has to make wine for Xiong Wei, but also prepare a dessert for Jing Chiyan.

"It's for your master!" Ye Shi frowned in disgust when he heard that.

Mu Chen nodded and said, "Yeah! What's wrong? Did my master offend you?"

"He is biased! He only knows how to stare at us all day long. He didn't even know that Zhuang Yu was taken out of the quarry by Shi Ziyu. I've already inquired about it. Zhuang Yu didn't suffer much in the quarry. All the men in the quarry were fascinated by him. Someone did all the tasks for Zhuang Yu." Ye Shi said unhappily.

Ye Shi thought gloomily: He was in the quarry, and he couldn't even use some talismans to take a break. Zhuang Yu did nothing, and Xiong Wei didn't care either.

"So that's how it is!" Mu Chen thought secretly: Zhuang Yu really can get along well wherever he goes!

"There are so many bottles of wine out there, just buy some. Do you still want to do it yourself?" Ye Shi frowned.

Mu Chen nodded and said, "This wine is a little different. It's called Luoyan Wine. It needs to be catalyzed by strange fire. Only if I do it myself can the effect be good."

Ye Shi said thoughtfully: "So that's how it is. This wine must be very expensive."

Mu Chen nodded and said, "Yes!" The ingredients used in Luo Yan wine were all level five spiritual materials, which cost him a lot of his fortune.

"Did that damn old man give you any money?" Ye Shi said with some heartache.

Mu Chen shook his head and said, "No." Even so, he didn't suffer too much loss, after all, the recipe of Luo Yan wine was given by Xiong Wei.

This wine can not only resist the cold, but also help people practice. It is even beneficial to the cultivation of strange fire. The fifth-grade wine recipe is a priceless treasure.

It is too early for him to drink this wine now. When he reaches the Martial Spirit Realm, he will be able to drink some.

"This old guy is really a piece of shit. Remember to add some laxatives to his wine." Ye Shi said gritting his teeth.

"Is this necessary?" Mu Chen asked.

"Of course it's necessary. Look how fat he is! Giving him a handful of laxatives to help him lose weight is just right." Ye Shi said while gritting his teeth.

Mu Chen: “…”

…………

"Have you seen your junior brother?" Jing Chiyan looked around but couldn't find Ye Shi, so he asked Xin Ruge.

Xin Ruge shrugged and said, "Junior brother has gone into seclusion. Junior brother, don't you know?"

Jing Chiyan felt so angry that his teeth were itching. Usually, he told Ye Shi to practice hard, but Ye Shi turned a deaf ear to him. That day, he casually mentioned that if his cultivation fell behind too much, Mu Chen would abandon him, but Ye Shi actually went into seclusion obediently.

He said, "Ye Shi, why did you buy so many roast chickens and cakes all at once? Are you preparing for seclusion and stocking up on food? You still don't forget to eat during seclusion, really..."

Thinking of this, Jing Chiyan couldn't help but feel angry and amused.

"He brought so much food with him when he went into seclusion. I really don't know whether he was going there to retreat or to gain weight." Jing Chiyan said unhappily.

Xin Ruge smiled faintly and said, "Uncle Master, where is my disciple Xiao Shi?"

"What do you mean?" Jing Chiyan looked at Xin Ruge angrily.

Xin Ruge smiled awkwardly and said nothing.

"Senior Jing, classmate Mu is here. He said he came to give Ye Shi a gift, but Ye Shi is in seclusion." A classmate said.

"Ye Shi is in seclusion, but I'm still here. I can keep it for him!" Jing Chiyan strode out.

Xin Ruge raised her eyebrows as she watched Jing Chiyan leave excitedly. Jing Chiyan kept the pastries for Ye Shi, so Ye Shi might never be able to eat them again in his lifetime.

Jing Chiyan came back soon with a smug smile on his face.

"Mu Chen is a very sensible kid." Jing Chiyan was full of admiration. Although it was a gift for Ye Shi, the ingredients used were all level five, which made it obvious that it was a gift for himself. Such a sensible guy was given to a guy like Xiong Wei as his apprentice. It was really a waste of talent!

quarry.

Hua Shu looked at the pale Xiong Wei and said, "Brother Xiong, what's wrong with you?"

Xiong Wei said angrily, "Family disgrace should not be made public. I won't say more."

"Just tell me, I'm not an outsider." Hua Shu said with a faint smile.

Xiong Wei glanced at Hua Shu coldly and said with gritted teeth, "Mu Chen, that scum, put laxatives in my wine."

"Brother Xiong, can't you tell that the wine has been drugged?" Hua Shu asked with some confusion.

Xiong Wei laughed dryly and said, "The laxative isn't a big deal. Can't we waste it?"

The wine that Muchen sent over was brewed impeccably. Drinking it made one feel the blood boiling. He was suffering from a severe cold poison, and this wine was very effective in restraining his cold poison. The only flaw was that it was a laxative.

"Brother Xiong, you knew there was something wrong with the wine, but you still drank it." Hua Shu said with a frown.

Xiong Wei smiled dryly and said, "You know, I've always been a thrifty person."

Hua Shu looked at Xiong Wei strangely, as he was so frugal that he drank the drugged wine.

Xiong Wei gritted his teeth. The dosage of the medicine in the wine was not strong. If he drank it several times, it would not be a big deal. However, he was excited at the moment and drank a whole jar of wine.

"Have you offended your apprentice?" Hua Shu said with a strange expression.

Xiong Wei snorted coldly and said, "It must have been that brat Ye Shi who instigated this. He's just like his master Jing Chiyan, both of them are full of evil intentions."

When Ye Shi was at the quarry, he had threatened several times to put laxatives in Mu Chen's food, and as a result, Mu Chen really did it.

It was unfortunate for his family that he accepted such a soft-hearted person as his apprentice.
