Inside the restaurant, Lu Yang stood by Mu Ruyue's side, his hands lowered and respectful demeanor not at all like that of an almighty powerful man who could command the world.
At this time, Mu Ruyue and Yin Ling sat opposite each other in the restaurant. After a long while, Mu Ruyue slowly spoke: "Just now, I seemed to hear you mention the Alchemy Book..."
"Yes," Yin Ling pursed her lips, "I once heard the captain mention that the captain's grandfather accidentally obtained a book with the words "Dan Shu" written on the pages. It is said that whoever obtains Dan Shu can become the most powerful alchemist. However, this Dan Book is not available to everyone. It can only be obtained by those who are destined to obtain it..."
"Later, before he died, he gave the Danshu to an old friend for safekeeping, and asked him to find the right person for the Danshu. The man just now was the captain's brother. He tried every means to get the Danshu. He wanted to attack us because the captain didn't tell us the whereabouts of the Danshu."
Yin Ling's face was slightly pale and her tone was helpless.
"Where are the others?" Mu Ruyue asked calmly.
Hearing this, Yin Ling smiled bitterly and said, "Miss Mu, we have never told you our identities. The captain is not an ordinary person, but the Fifth Prince of the Empire. The Emperor has doted on him since he was a child. It was because of this doting that he was framed and almost died several times. Later, the Emperor entrusted him to other people to take care of him in order to protect him. It was called exile. He did not return to the Empire until His Majesty became seriously ill a few months ago... We are the people the Fifth Prince met outside and formed a team. Later, we learned the Fifth Prince's true identity and followed him back to the Empire."
Mu Ruyue listened quietly, remaining silent.
Yin Ling continued, "Not long ago, the Fourth Prince invited a high-level Heavenly Grade Alchemist from somewhere. One of the pills he made was missing a purple spirit flower. In order to save His Majesty's life, the captain went to the Purgatory Forest."
"Did you listen to what I said to you at the beginning?" Mu Ruyue's eyes darkened and she asked lightly.
"Are you saying that the Purple Spirit Flower can control people's nerves? We have already mentioned this to His Majesty, but His Majesty has full faith in Master Shen Mo and won't listen to us at all. Now as long as Master Shen Mo completes the preliminary preparations, he will refine the elixir to save His Majesty. If it is true as you said, perhaps this is another conspiracy of the Fourth Prince..."
Yin Ling was filled with worry. If this was true, the captain's situation would be even more difficult...
"Let's go."
Mu Ruyue stood up from her seat and said lightly.
Yin Ling was stunned for a moment: "Where are we going?"
"The Imperial Palace!" Mu Ruyue lowered her eyes slightly, a glimmer of light flashed across her eyes, "Take me to see the Emperor of the Empire, I want to see what disease he has!"
Yin Ling pursed her lips lightly and said nothing. Mu Ruyue could easily take out a heavenly intermediate elixir, so she might be the apprentice of a master alchemist.
With her here, maybe she can save your Majesty's life...
Thinking of this, Yin Ling felt happy and a sense of hope rose in his heart again.
"Miss Mu, I will take you to the palace now. If the captain and father see you, they will definitely be very happy!"
Looking at Yin Ling's hopeful face, Lu Yang snorted disdainfully.
Since she is Master Xuwu's disciple, as long as she asks Master Xuwu to help, there will be no symptoms that can stump him...
