Chapter 110: Leaving the Cottage
Mu Chen walked towards the courtyard. The student in charge of cleaning the courtyard saw Mu Chen and immediately stepped forward and said politely, "Mr. Mu, classmate Ye Rong is here again."
"I understand." Mu Chen frowned and said impatiently.
Mu Chen didn't know what Ye Rong was thinking. She ran over and told him a bunch of nonsense.
For example, the person engaged to the Ye family was not Ye Shi, but her, Ye Rong. She said that she didn't want to compete with Ye Shi and volunteered to be a concubine. Mu Chen was almost disgusted to death by Ye Rong.
"Don't pay attention to her." Mu Chen said impatiently.
Not to mention, Ye Shi and Ye Rong have no blood relationship at all. Even if they do, they are sworn enemies. Last time, he and Ye Shi were sent to the quarry because of Ye Rong's instigation. Mu Chen really didn't understand where Ye Rong got the nerve to come to him again and again.
Not seeing Muchen, Ye Shi returned to his dormitory somewhat dazed. He went there several times but didn't see Muchen. Ye Rong was not stupid, so she naturally knew that Muchen was deliberately avoiding her.
"Ye Rong, there's a letter for you." said a student.
"Oh, thank you." Ye Rong adjusted her expression.
Ye Rong had originally been looking forward to receiving letters from home, but recently she felt disgusted with them.
Her father has already arrived in the imperial capital. Ye Rong originally thought that as long as her father arrived in the imperial capital, he would be able to teach Ye Shi a lesson, restore his face, and her situation would also improve. However, she didn't expect that things would not develop as she imagined.
Ye Shi is in seclusion. Even if Ye Xun has all the tricks up his sleeve, he can do nothing if he can't see him.
The consumption in the imperial capital was astonishingly high. Ye Xun didn't have many Yuanshi on him. Both Ye Shi and Wang Li were people who loved to enjoy life. After arriving in the imperial capital, they immediately spent most of the Yuanshi they had.
Ye Rong opened the letter and saw Wu Yu. Her father and mother actually asked her for money, and said that most students at Holy Star College were rich.
Ye Rong gritted her teeth. There were many students in Holy Star Academy who had relatives, such as Tang Zhuer, but she was not one of them!
Thinking of Tang Zhuer, Ye Rong felt a little lonely again. Tang Zhuer was not as good-looking as herself, but she was wealthy and had everything she wanted. Her life was really good. If she also had a father as rich as a country, how could she live such a miserable life?
Rest day.
Because Ye Shi was still in seclusion, Mu Chen had to go out alone to look for Mu Yuanfeng.
Mu Yuanfeng has a solid foundation and has accumulated a lot of experience. After being promoted to a martial spirit, he has no shortage of resources and his cultivation quickly rose to the two-star martial spirit realm. Recently, he has shown signs of being promoted to a three-star martial spirit.
"Chen'er, you're here." When the father and son meet, they usually talk about alchemy. Mu Yuanfeng is experienced and has many practical things that Mu Chen can benefit from.
"Father, what's the number you've called recently? Do you have enough Yuanshi to spend?" Mu Chen asked attentively.
Mu Yuanfeng smiled helplessly and said, "It's enough to spend, enough to spend. Have you forgotten that your father, Ye Shi, is at least a third-level alchemist. It is not a problem for him to support himself. You can save those Yuanshi for marrying a wife." During this period, his strength improved rapidly, his alchemy skills also improved rapidly, and the success rate of alchemy increased greatly.
Mu Chen said disapprovingly: "Shi Tou is still young. You can earn Yuan Shi slowly. There is no rush." Ye Shi is only fourteen years old. In Mu Chen's eyes, Ye Shi is just a child who has not grown up yet. If he marries him so early, Mu Chen will feel like he is underage.
"Even so, it's not a big deal if I always spend your money!" Mu Yuanfeng shook his head helplessly.
Mu Chen smiled disapprovingly and said, "It's only natural for a son to earn money for his father to spend."
"You!" Mu Yuanfeng smiled in a somewhat annoyed manner, "Where's Shitou? I haven't seen him for a long time. Is he still in seclusion?"
Mu Chen nodded and said, "Yes!"
"You should also learn from Shi Tou and stop wasting too much time on other things. Practice well. Strength is the foundation of life." Mu Yuanfeng warned seriously.
Mu Chen nodded and said, "Father, I know my limits."
"By the way, father, Ye Rong came to tell me that the person I am engaged to is her." Mu Chen said with some disgust.
Mu Yuanfeng was stunned for a moment and sneered: "In fact, it was really that girl." Mu Chen's performance in his early years was too bad, but Ye Rong was an outstanding girl with a beautiful face, so naturally she was unwilling to compromise with her son.
Mu Chen was stunned for a moment and asked, "How could it be?"
The two families arranged a marriage for children, and the person from the Ye family who married into the family would be Mu Chen’s legal wife.
People like Shuang'er, who can be male or female, are actually looked down upon by many people. Most Shuang'er can only be concubines.
Children from wealthy families generally don't marry Shuang'er, as they think it would be a loss of face.
Mu Yuanfeng had no prejudice against Shuang'er, so when the Ye family arranged the marriage with Ye Shitou, Mu Yuanfeng didn't say much.
Mu Yuanfeng said sarcastically, "Originally, Ye Rong was the most suitable, but her mother didn't like you, so she arranged the marriage with Ye Shitou."
"Ye Rong said that she was originally my fiancée, but Ye Shi used despicable means to snatch her away." Mu Chen said helplessly.
Mu Yuanfeng's face darkened, "This girl, it's a good thing that it wasn't her that the Ye family engaged you to." From what the girl said, you could tell that she was not a good person.
Mu Chen nodded in agreement.
My son performed so well, no wonder Ye Rong would regret it. I'm afraid Ye Rong's parents are already regretting their decision. That woman hasn't been doing well recently!
"By the way, Ye Xun has come to the imperial capital." Mu Yuanfeng said lightly.
Mu Chen narrowed his eyes and asked, "Father, how did you know?"
"Ye Xun came to see me, but I was refining medicine at the time and didn't see him." Mu Yuanfeng said.
Mu Chen nodded and said, "Father, you don't have to pay attention to him."
Mu Yuanfeng nodded and said, "Okay."
…………
Ye Xun's temporary residence.
"Mu Yuanfeng is still missing?" Wang Li asked Ye Xun.
Ye Xun's face flushed. When he first arrived in the imperial capital, Ye Xun couldn't bring himself to see Mu Yuanfeng.
As the Yuanshi was spent more and more, Ye Xun no longer cared about his face. However, he lowered his face to ask Mu Yuanfeng for help, but Mu Yuanfeng avoided him.
"That guy must have done it on purpose." Ye Xun said gritting his teeth.
He went to see Mu Yuanfeng three times. Mu Yuanfeng was in seclusion for cultivation twice and for alchemy once. It would have been fine if he was in seclusion once, but he was in seclusion every time. It was obvious that he was deliberately avoiding him.
"Mu Yuanfeng is going too far. After all, our two families are related by marriage." Wang Li said somewhat unwillingly.
"Mu Yuanfeng is a guy who looks down on others." Ye Xun said angrily.
Wang Li looked at Ye Xun's ferocious face and couldn't help feeling a little worried.
"Is there any news about Ye Shi? Is he still in seclusion?" Ye Xun asked.
Wang Li nodded and said, "It seems so."
"Retreat, retreat. What's the point for a Shuang'er to retreat all day long? No matter how strong he is, he will have to get married in the end." Ye Xun said with disdain.
"That's right." Wang Li agreed.
"Where is Rong'er? Ask her to bring Huiyuanshi over. Has Huiyuanshi arrived?" Ye Xun asked with a bad look on his face.
"Rong'er said that it's not easy for Rong'er without money." Wang Li said pitifully.
"No money, no money. If you have no money, can't you just borrow some? Muchen is so rich!" Ye Xun said with jealousy.
"But Muchen ignores Rong'er." Wang Li said helplessly.
"It's such a waste that I raised her up. In the end, she's not even as good at hooking up with men as that kid Ye Shi. She's useless!" Ye Xun said unhappily.
Wang Li's expression changed again and again as she listened to Ye Xun's words, but she didn't dare to refute anything in the end.
…………
After Ye Shi stabilized his cultivation as an eight-star martial artist, he ended his retreat and came out.
"Junior brother, you finally came out of seclusion." Xin Ruge said with some joy.
Ye Shi nodded and said with some pride: "I have been promoted to an eight-star warrior."
"Eight-star warrior!" Xin Ruge's face twisted. Eighth-level talent was truly incredible! Ye Shi had been in seclusion for less than a month, and he had already advanced three levels. It was truly terrifying. It seemed like it took her three years to advance from a five-star warrior to an eight-star warrior.
Of course, Ye Shi’s terror is still bearable. In comparison, Muchen’s progress is really unbearable.
"Yesterday, your Muchen went to the Inscriptionist Association to get certified as a Level 3 Inscriptionist. He is now a Level 3 Inscriptionist." Xin Ruge said.
Ye Shi nodded lightly and responded, "Oh."
Xin Ruge looked at Ye Shi's calm face, frowned, and said, "Aren't you surprised?"
Ye Shi asked in confusion, "Should I be surprised? He's Mu Chen!"
Xin Ruge: “…” Indeed, if it was Mu Chen’s words, there was no need to be surprised.
"By the way, where is Mu Chen?" Ye Shi asked.
"Mu Chen's words should be a test." Xin Ruge said.
"Test?" Ye Shi asked in confusion.
Xin Ruge nodded and said, "Yes! Today is the day for each school in the Academy to apply for teaching funds. The outstanding schools in the Academy are all capital for applying for funds. Mu Chen is a third-level inscription master, so naturally he has to participate."
Ye Shi narrowed his eyes and said, "Mu Chen is a student of the Inscription Academy. With him here, the Inscription Academy should be able to apply for a lot more funding."
Xin Ruge nodded and said, "That's right, at least an extra 20 million." If a third-level magician appears among the new students, the academy's funding will double."
Ye Shi opened his mouth wide and said, "So many, I'm rich!"
"These Yuan Stones will be used for daily teaching in the Inscription Academy." Xin Ruge said with regret.
Ye Shi curled his lips and said, "Oh, it's not for Muchen, then it's a waste of effort."
"During the time you were in seclusion, Ye Rong came to see you several times." Xin Ruge said.
Ye Shi narrowed his eyes and couldn't help feeling a little impatient, "What is she doing here again?" Ye Shi felt that Ye Rong was just a fly, which couldn't hurt anyone, but was annoying.
"She said that your father has arrived in the imperial capital." Xin Ruge said.
Ye Shi narrowed his eyes, his expression showing deep disgust. It was bound to be no good when Ye Xun came here.
Ye Shi was still young, and before he knew the truth, he always had some respect and expectations for Ye Xun. After knowing the truth, Ye Shi's expectations for Ye Xun immediately vanished.
Ye Shi thought that if Ye Xun showed off to him like before, he would punch him.
"By the way, there is something I don't know whether I should tell you." Xin Ruge said hesitantly.
"Just say it! What's there to be afraid of?" Ye Shi said with blinking eyes.
"I'm worried that you'll get excited after hearing this." Xin Ruge looked embarrassed, but a glimmer of interest flashed across her eyes.
Ye Shi said disapprovingly: "No, I have a good attitude and won't get excited."
Xin Ruge curled her lips, a hint of teasing flashing in her eyes. "It's like this. I heard that Ye Rong went to find Mu Chen and told him that the person who was engaged to Mu Chen in the Ye family was actually her, but you took over her."
Ye Shi's face changed instantly, "This damn bitch." Ye Shi punched the towering tree next to him. The tree, which was one meter in diameter, fell to the ground with a loud bang, and wood chips flew everywhere.
Xin Ruge: Junior brother, you seemed to have said before that he has a good attitude and won’t get excited.
