“Young Master, I heard that the Grandmaster Hai Rong has yet to leave as he is waiting for someone.”

Hearing this, Mu Ling’s face changed.

Originally, Mu Ling had gotten Hai Rong to treat the old master, in the hope that the old master would get better before his birthday, even if he knew that Suyi would return to the Mu family. The old master’s strength had been greatly depleted. Even if the old master could never fully recover, Hai Rong might be able to stop the old master’s strength from depleting further.

Moreover, Mu Ling knew that Hai Rong would not stay long in the Mu family. However, he had never thought that Hai Rong would stay for such a long time.

“Alright, I hear what you say. Have you sent all the invitation letters out?” Mu Ling waved his hands and sank into contemplation.

“The subordinates had sent out all the letters.”

“Uhm.” Mu Ling knitted his brows together, seemingly worried.

When the old master was still in good health, he had acquaintances all over the world—people of Tian Shen Manor and other clans.

However, ever since the old master’s health had declined year after year, those who attended his birthday feast too had declined year after year.

That was not all. Many clans in Tian Shen Manor were working together to seize the power from the Mu family. Mu Ling could not help but arrange a marriage for Nan Xian in order to maintain the Mu family’s foothold in this realm.

Although Mu Ling knew that Nan Xian was a rare talent and his strength would be unrivaled someday, that was too long from now. He could not wait any longer.

“Get someone to inform me when Qingyan is back. I am going to see the old master.”

***

Feng Ruqing and Suyi were sitting next to each other, chatting cheerfully.

At this time, a familiar voice spoke and broke off their conversations.

“Young Lady Xiao Qing, I am here to see you.”

Hearing this, Feng Ruqing’s face darkened.

‘It turns out that many people like to break into someone else’s manor without consent. I must get the snow wolf to guard the door next time.’

“I have been waiting for you in the herb chamber for half a month. I have even asked Yiyi to invite you, but you did not show up. I really could not think of other ways. Hence, I am here to see you.” Qian Kun smiled brightly. He did not, in the slightest bit, feel guilty for what he had done.

“Oh, I have been too busy lately. I don’t have time to go out of my manor” Feng Ruqing smiled as she said.

Feng Ruqing was too busy dating Nan Xian. She simply had no time for the old fart—Qian Kun.

“Haha!” Qian Kun laughed heartily. Although he knew that Feng Ruqing was making an excuse, he did not seem to care.

“I have promised my old friend to introduce you to him. He was supposed to leave earlier, but since I did not manage to see you, I have brought him here.”

‘You have even done this without consent!’ Feng Ruqing’s eyes swept past Qian Kun disdainfully.

Before Feng Ruqing could respond, the old man who stood next to Qian Kun rushed over and held tightly onto Suyi’s arm.

Exploding with rage, Feng Ruqing’s foot shot out to kick him. The old man dodged nimbly, her feet brushed past the old man’s ear. However, a gust of wind from her foot had blown his hair into a wild tangle.

Qian Kun panicked and stared blankly at the old man.

“Hai Rong, how could you do this to a lady? Even if this lady is pretty, you must not do that. You have ruined my reputation!”

Qian Kun brought Hai Rong to see Feng Ruqing, but he had never thought that Hai Rong would do something so rude to a beautiful lady.
