Wu Yu coughed twice and continued, "My disciple, I want you to be the dark horse in the competition this time. You should come out on top at the critical moment and scare those old guys to death."

As if thinking of the frightened looks of those old guys at that time, Wu Yu couldn't help laughing. Who made that damn old man of Dan Hui often brag about his grandson in front of him? No matter how talented his grandson was, how could he compare to his beloved disciple?

Mu Ruyue shook her head helplessly. It was really a headache to have such a disrespectful master.

"So when do I leave?"

"Let's do it today. I've calculated your journey. It will take just one month to reach the alchemy meeting place. Haha, my disciple, you must work hard and fight for your master."

"Today?" Mu Ruyue tightly held the post in her hand and nodded slightly, "Okay, I'll go say goodbye to Wuchen and then leave for the Alchemy Conference."

Under the peach tree, petals fall with the wind.

Ye Wuchen stood in the wind, not knowing what he was looking at. The pink petals falling all over his shoulders looked so dreamy, as if it was an unreal scene.

"Wu Chen."

A soft voice sounded behind him. Ye Wuchen turned around slowly, and when he saw the girl behind him, a touching smile appeared on his handsome face.

"Ma'am, you're here."

At some point, Mu Ruyue felt that his way of addressing her had become very common, and she also calmly accepted his dependence on her. However, ever since he knew that she lived here, he shamelessly stayed, and was even willing to serve her tea, water, and warm her bed, and was treated like a fool by her.

"Wu Chen, I'm here to say goodbye to you." Mu Ruyue raised her head and looked at the handsome face in front of her. For the first time, she discovered that Ye Wu Chen was so handsome.

His skin was undoubtedly very white, but not unhealthy white, but the color of milk. His clean and clear eyes were full of innocence, and with his beautiful eyes, he looked so charming. His eyelashes drooped slightly, and he looked at her pitifully like an abandoned puppy.

"Where are you going, madam? Will you never come back like my father and mother?"

Mu Ruyue's heart softened, and she could not bear to be cruel to him.

"I'm just running errands, I'll be back soon."

Hearing this, Ye Wuchen was obviously relieved. He slowly approached Mu Ruyue, which made her heart skip a beat. At such a close distance, she could even feel his hot breath.

Ye Wuchen's face was perfect. Even when viewed from a close distance, it was flawless. His thin lips, slightly pursed, outlined soft lines.

"Wu Chen... um..."

Before he could finish his words, they were blocked by a pair of thin lips.

Different from the light kisses he had in the past, Ye Wuchen kissed her awkwardly. Mu Ruyue's body trembled slightly, and she suddenly raised her hand to push Ye Wuchen away.

She narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at the handsome boy standing in front of her, but she didn't say anything, and there was no emotion in her expression.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Madam... Madam..." Ye Wuchen's heart began to panic. It seemed that he always went too far in front of this woman, but how could he forget that she was not an ordinary woman? Wouldn't she have noticed something just now?

"Last time in the Imperial Garden, I saw Prince Hua pin a little palace maid to the ground, and then, he did this..."

Ye Wuchen lowered his head, looking as if he had made a mistake.
