With Shui Yunning coming out, the Shui family's old man, Shui Zhenyun, also said that he would not provoke Hua Ruge until the matter was clear.
Shui Yutong initially wanted her family to help her, but not only did she fail to achieve her goal, she was reprimanded by Shui Xiaoze. Hence, no matter how angry she was, she could only endure.
Hua Ruge knew that there would not be any big movements, so she did not bother with it. Recently, she had been using her time to stroll around the ore market, finding stones with spirit crystals and buying them.
Because she only bought the ores from the small shops, they weren't expensive. With her financial strength, she could afford them. However, the prices of the stones from the big fields were very high. She wouldn't buy them to avoid attracting attention.
Young Master Wu Hen would also come out to hang out with her when she was bored. As a result, the two of them would always be surrounded by scouts from the Shui Family.
But no matter how they looked at it, they could not see any flaws, because the Young Master Wu Hen was truly very good to Hua Ruge, and Hua Ruge was also very open with him in front of him, so the two of them got along as harmoniously as possible.
That day, Hua Ruge bought a few stones, and the two of them found a restaurant to eat. In fact, it was only two people eating, but only Hua Ruge ate at the table.
"I've been wandering around the city for a few days. What do you think I've gotten?" Hua Ruge asked while eating.
Young Master Wu Hen replied without even thinking, "You broke through your Profound Immortal Stage yesterday."
Hua Ruge nodded with glee: "My family's little beast is still very powerful. It swallowed all of those stones along with the skin, and then I broke through."
Seeing that, Young Master Wu Hen laughed and agreed: "Your family's little beast is truly powerful."
"However, this is only one of them. I still have one more reward." Hua Ruge sat on the second floor and pointed downstairs with his chopsticks.
Below them was a huge ore market. Half of the ore shops in Falling Moon City were gathered here.
Young Master Wu Hen looked at it for a moment, then said: "You want to think about it on the ore."
"Smart, this ore market is where most of the Falling Moon City comes from. There is a large amount of money traded every day and it is also where the Four Great Clans come from." Hua Ruge explained the situation to them.
"What do you think?" Young Master Wu Hen asked.
"Every ten years, the Raw Stone Clan in the city holds a stone gambling competition. The result of the stone gambling competition will make them reshuffle. " Hua Ruge laughed and said, "And this year is the tenth year."
Young Master Wu Hen did not reply, she only looked at her.
"If I can participate, my reputation will rise quickly and I will cultivate my power." Hua Ruge planned.
"Not just anyone can participate in this kind of stone gambling competition, right?" The Young Master Wu Hen asked her.
Hua Ruge nodded his head: "You asked the right question, and only those with a certain level of influence in the ore industry can participate, in the entire Falling Moon City, there are only a dozen or so families."
"Influence?" Young Master Wu Hen thought.
"That's hard to say, but it's not easy to say. It will take a while anyway." Hua Ruge calculated again: "There are still two months until the stone gambling competition, it's enough."
Young Master Wu Hen did not ask further, but asked, "What can I help you with?"
"Help me hide our relationship. Even if you have to do me a big favor, I can do it myself." Hua Ruge was always a little embarrassed when it came to this matter.
At that time, she was brought to the Shui Family by someone. Although she looked very arrogant on the surface, she was not confident when facing so many strong warriors.
Even if she was a little crazy, she wouldn't be able to tell that Wu Hen liked her. If she didn't have a choice, she definitely wouldn't do that.
"Don't worry." The Young Master Wu Hen then gave her a piece of meat, "Eating more is good for your body."
Hua Ruge could only nod his head and lower his head to eat.
Seeing her expression, Young Master Wu Hen's eyes looked doting. He understood Hua Ruge, although she usually had thick skin, she did not like to trouble others.
He understood, and therefore never made any further request. Not even teasing her.2
After the two of them had eaten, they had originally planned to leave together, but since they found that someone was following them, they decided to return to the Bamboo House together.
Once he returned to the Bamboo House, Hua Ruge went into his room to research on his future plans. She planned to give the Falling Moon City a good show off, and when she had the capital to negotiate with the Shui family, she would definitely bring her mother out.
The Nine-tailed Fox originally wanted to go up and play with Hua Ruge, but when she caught up to Hua Ruge, she had already closed the door.
The Nine-tailed Fox looked at Young Master Wu Hen with a puzzled expression.
"Elder sister Ruge has something to do." The Young Master Wu Hen said.
The Nine-tailed Fox ran over to Young Master Wu Hen's feet, its black eyes still showing a questioning look.
Young Master Wu Hen had been together with it for a long time, he was able to read its mind, and laughed when it saw the situation: "Don't worry, I did not anger her." Only then did the Nine-tailed Fox relax and began to rub his legs to play with him.
"You like her?" Young Master Wu Hen asked softly after he sat down and held it on his lap.
The Nine-tailed Fox heard this and nodded its head.
"I like it too." The voice of the Young Master Wu Hen lowered, yet the deep emotion in his eyes couldn't be hidden.
The Nine-tailed Fox seemed to feel its master's sadness and rubbed against his palm. Its bright black eyes looked at him worriedly.
Young Master Wu Hen laughed. "I'm fine, don't worry."
The Nine-tailed Fox was very understanding of human nature. He didn't believe these words and instead licked his palm. It seemed that his heart was in pain.
"Good boy." The corners of Young Master Wu Hen's mouth unconsciously curled into a smile.
Ever since Hua Ruge had broken through the Profound Immortal Stage, she felt that there was no need to go to the Academy for now. It was better to perfect her own plans, and so she stayed at the Bamboo House for the time being.
Young Master Wu Hen knew that she liked to eat, but he didn't have enough energy to cook, so he could only buy things for her every day.
Hua Ruge felt very embarrassed, so he suggested: "How about this, in the future, I will cook for myself, so that you don't run around.
"If I remember correctly, you don't know how to cook, right?" Young Master Wu Hen could not help but prick her.
"I learned this when I was in the mine. Although I didn't learn it very well, I should still be able to make it." Hua Ruge, on the other hand, was seeking truth from the facts.
Young Master Wu Hen laughed and said: "Don't bother, I'm afraid you will burn my Bamboo House."
"If I burn some words, I promise I will put out the fire as soon as possible. I definitely won't burn them all." Hua Ruge promised, she did not have the confidence to not burn down their house.
The corner of Young Master Wu Hen's mouth twitched, then he waved his hand and said: "Forget it, I'll buy it for you.
