Mu Ruyue raised her eyebrows slightly. Of course, she would not tell him that this was the effect of cultivating the elixir. In the past few months, in addition to breaking through the third level under Wu Yu's guidance, she also improved a lot in the art of making elixirs. Now it is easy for her to refine low-level earth-level elixirs. This kind of talent really scared Wu Yu.

With the cultivation of some auxiliary elixirs, Mu Ruyue had the confidence that no one of the same level would be her opponent.

"Mr. Li, do you still remember what you just said?"

It would have been fine if Mu Ruyue didn't mention it, but as soon as she did, Mu Qing's face darkened.

Li Lu didn't reach the third level until he was over nineteen, so his talent was not strong. The only thing he had was a powerful father. As the general defending the country of Ziyue, he had three thousand elite soldiers and hundreds of thousands of soldiers under his command. But the general had only this one son, and he spoiled him like a treasure. As long as Li Lu made a request, he would not refuse it no matter what it was.

Even the emperor showed him some courtesy.

If Li Lu agreed to the bitch's request, it would probably bring some trouble to Ting'er. After all, she had the support of the General's Mansion, and she was no longer a waste. If she proposed to marry the Crown Prince, His Majesty might agree. What would Ting'er do in this case?

So, he could never let this happen.

"Shut up!" Mu Qing shouted with a hint of anger on his face, "Mu Ruyue, what is the status of the young master of the general's mansion? How dare you let him become your slave? Apologize to Young Master Li immediately!"

No one expected that he would scold his daughter in public. They were stunned for a moment. They had heard that Mu Qing didn't like Mu Ruyue, but they didn't expect it to this extent.

After all, she was their biological daughter, and blood was thicker than water. Why did they feel that Mu Qing wanted her to die? On the contrary, they doted on Mu Ting'er, their adopted daughter.

"The Mu family?"

Wu Yu frowned upon seeing this, his eyes gradually becoming unfriendly: "My disciple should not only let the boy from the general's mansion be her slave, but even if she wants the empress to serve her, it is reasonable. It seems that the Mu family is really too arrogant. I really don't know how my precious disciple has been through all these years."

If Mu Ruyue didn't want people to know their identities, he would have rushed down and severely taught that damn Mu Qing a lesson! However, since this matter cannot be exposed, he will wait until the end of the competition and use Ye Tianfeng to give him a good beating, just to vent his anger for his beloved disciple.

"Master Mu, this doesn't seem to be your business," Li Lu glared at him in dissatisfaction and said unhappily, "Although I, Li Lu, am lustful, I am also a man of honor. My father has long taught me to keep my word. Since this is what I promised Miss Mu, of course I must keep my promise."

Mu Qing's face suddenly changed. He never expected this to happen.

Li Lu knew everything Mu Qing had done over the years, so he glanced at him and said, "Also, I've heard that the Mu family, from the master to the servants, bullied and humiliated the legitimate daughter, but they loved and cared for the adopted daughter who was brought in from somewhere. Is this the style of a big family? Or is that adopted daughter an illegitimate daughter born to you and some brothel girl?"

Hearing this, Mu Ting'er's pretty face turned pale instantly. She clenched her fists tightly and looked at Li Lu angrily.

This boy actually dared to insult her by saying that she was born from a prostitute. This is truly unforgivable! Don't think that you can do whatever you want as the son of a general's mansion. Her Mu family is not bad either.

If it wasn't for maintaining her weak image in public, she would definitely make that brat bleed to death on the spot!
