“Old man, with our relationship I will always stand on your side. Moreover, I already hate those stubborn fools. If it wasn"t for me having insufficient powers, I would have fallen out with them decades ago.”

The dean"s expression darkened slightly after hearing Xiao Bai Xuan"s words. “Old Man Xiao, it can"t be that you still haven"t gotten over Yun Yan, right? If it wasn"t for those stubborn fools hindering you, you perhaps would have already married Yun Yan…”

Xiao Bai Xuan shook his head and sighed. “Let"s not talk about the past. I"ve already aged. I just want to think about the younger generations now. It"s a pity that two of my sons died early while the other is collecting debts. I think that brat Xiao Feng isn"t bad. I plan to pa.s.s the head position to him.”

“Impossible!”

A voice was heard from the side just as Xiao Bai Xuan"s voice landed.

He turned his head to the girl at his side and asked grievingly, “Why?”

“My eldest brother has to return to the Sheng Domain to take over the Old Man"s position.”

“Can"t the two Xiao families combine? Senior Xiao Yun was originally a member of the Xiao family here…”

Mu Ru Yue"s gaze slightly dazed. With resolution in her eyes, she stated, “If eldest brother Xiao Feng is willing, I will support him. But if he isn"t, n.o.body, including you, can force him!”

"Willing?"

Xiao Bai Xuan chuckled bitterly. "How can that brat agree? He was so reluctant to head back to the Xiao family. If it wasn"t to seek for you, he probably wouldn"t have agreed.

"I originally wanted to force the position onto him. But now with the little girl"s words, I can"t even do that if I wanted to…"

“Sigh.” Xiao Bai Xuan sighed heavily as he lamented, “What wrongdoings had I done in my past life that I can"t even have an outstanding son? If Yun Yan was my wife, perhaps our son would have inherited her outstandingness…”

If only Yun Yan were still alive…

Xiao Bai Xuan"s heart ached slightly. No matter what, he must investigate who it was that killed her!

Seeing the melancholic Xiao Bai Xuan, Mu Ru Yue was at loss of words for a moment. She then purposely changed the topic as she requested, “Dean, I would like to have the ingredients from this list. Can I trouble you to prepare them for me?”

“Oh,” The dean curiously looked at the list that Mu Ru Yue pa.s.sed to him. He then looked shocked at her and said, “Little girl, you…”

Mu Ru Yue touched her nose and replied, “To refine pills.”

With her current ability, she should try to refine a Mundane Low grade pill. But all of her medicinal plants had been eaten by Xiao Bai so she could only use such a request. She needed to improve her strength now to protect those she wanted to protect.

She similarly wouldn"t slack on her alchemy!

“Three days. I will send these ingredients to you in three days. “The dean kept the ingredient"s list and raised his head to say that.

“If that"s the case, I will make my move first.”

Mu Ru Yue smiled as she turned around and left the room under the gazes of the two elders…

She saw a man leaning his back against a tree once she left the building.

The man looked dreamingly handsome as rays of light from the setting sun landed on his face…

When the man saw that the girl had exited the room, he gradually pushed off the tree as he walked toward her with a charming smile.

“Let"s go. We"ll head back now.”

Mu Ru Yue gazed at the man"s n.o.ble aura before shifting her gaze to his face. With a smile, she said, “Wu Chen, I will bring you to a place in a while. It"s a world only we can enter…”
