After returning to the Mu family, Mu Qing ordered two maids to take care of Mu Ting'er, but he never looked at her again. This daughter made him lose face, how could he still love her as before?

The only reason she was not abandoned now was because of the kindness of her biological father who died to save the old lady.

"Why did Mu Ruyue suddenly change so much?" Mu Qing frowned. If he had only secretly hated this little girl for deceiving him at the beginning when Mu Ruyue showed her strength as a third-level warrior, now that he knew her true strength, Mu Qing really regretted it.

If I had known this would happen, I should not have kicked her out of the house. It's no use regretting it now.

At this moment, there was a noisy sound outside the Mu family. Before he could send someone to see what was going on, one by one, officials and their wives walked in from outside the hall.

"Master Mu, congratulations."

The first person to speak was the Minister of Revenue Zhang Lin, who congratulated with a smile on his face as soon as he came in.

Mu Qing smiled bitterly: "What should I be happy about?"

"Your family's eldest daughter, Mu Ruyue, won the competition and was recognized by Qingyun Sect. Isn't this a good news?" Zhang Lin looked at him strangely and said.

Mu Qing sighed helplessly and shook his head: "Master Zhang, I guess you don't know that the rebellious girl has been expelled from the family by me and is no longer a member of my Mu family."

Unexpectedly, Zhang Lin did not turn around and leave after hearing this. Instead, he smiled and said, "Master Mu, as the saying goes, blood is thicker than water. How could Miss Mu Ruyue really leave the Mu family? As Miss Mu Ruyue's biological father, as long as you persuade her to return to the family with kind words, I'm sure she will agree."

Feeling that Zhang Lin's words made sense, Mu Qing put aside his worries and accepted the congratulations from others as a matter of course. It seemed that as long as he put aside his status and kindly persuaded her, Mu Ruyue would eventually return to the Mu family.

And in the period that followed, in addition to some dignitaries in Fengcheng, even people from Qingyun Sect came to visit, and some even expressed their willingness to accept him as a disciple. However, even Mu Qing didn't know where Mu Ruyue was, so he could only send people to look for her whereabouts.

As the person involved in this incident, Mu Ruyue has not left the house since leaving the palace. Of course, she had no idea that the Mu family was in turmoil because of their search for her.

On this day, she had just put the refined pill into the space ring, and then she thought that she had not seen Wu Yu for a long time, so she packed up the alchemy tools and left Mu's house.

The shopkeeper of Baicaotang was already familiar with Mu Ruyue, so when he saw her appear, he led her directly to the alchemy room.

At this moment in the alchemy room, Wu Yu saw Mu Ruyue walking in at a glance. His eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly stood up and strode towards her.

"Girl, why are you here?"

"Let me see," Mu Ruyue blinked, looked around, and said, "Master, what are you doing now?"

"Hehe, it's nothing, it's just that a medicinal herb in Baicaotang is about to wither, and I was wondering if there is any way to save it."

As he spoke, Wu Yu's gaze fell on the medicinal herbs on the table.

Mu Ruyue followed his gaze and saw a medicinal herb with eight lotus-like petals placed on the table. There was a bean-sized yellow core emitting a dull luster, and the other petals had drooped, obviously not long for the plant.

"Eight-Leaf Snow Lotus?" Mu Ruyue's heart moved. This Eight-Leaf Snow Lotus is the medicinal ingredient for refining the Earth-grade Intermediate Marrow Cleansing Pill. She didn't expect to encounter it here.
