"I'm not in a hurry. Even if I stay at this level, I won't have much of an impact on my strength." Tuoba Rui said calmly.

However, Hua Ruge knew that he had never made a breakthrough because he was afraid that his Illusory Sea Sect was too vigilant.

As for her strength, it had always been inconspicuous, so no one else would pay attention to it.

"Fine, you attract the current firepower. I'll protect you when the fight starts." Hua Ruge patted his chest, and said with loyalty.

Tuoba Rui was amused by her, but even if he did not want her to be disappointed, he still replied: "Alright."

Hua Ruge was very proud, she sat for a while longer before returning. This time, the enemy she was facing was probably stronger, furthermore, she was alone, so she did not dare to slack off anymore.

Her talent and comprehension ability were both very good. Even if her Innate Ability was a bit thick, it could still be filled with hard work. It's just that previously, she felt that her hard work had little effect, so she gave up.

Now that she cultivated day and night using the Exterminating Heavenly Scripture to temper her body and spirit energy, her cultivation was slowly increasing as well.

In order to make her cultivation easier, she had even consumed some medicinal pills refined from a natural treasure. These medicinal pills were extravagant for others, but for her, the owner and alchemist of Nine Regions Chamber of Commerce, they were nothing out of the ordinary.

The crazy old man saw that she was cultivating and refining pills all day, and felt that the word 'child' was abnormal. One day, he pulled Hua Ruge and asked, "My good disciple, why are you working so hard now?"

"It's my intention to propose. I'm afraid that the weak Cheng family will not agree." Hua Ruge casually mentioned a reason.

The mad old man was elated when he heard this. "Not bad, not bad at all. Finally, he's enlightened."

"That disciple went back?" Hua Ruge probed.

"Go, go. Cultivate properly. If you have anything you don't understand, ask me." The crazy old man sent her away with a laugh.

Thus, Hua Ruge successfully passed.

Her body was very suitable for training Exterminating Heavenly Scripture, of course she did not understand this Obscure Heavenly Scripture from time to time. Before, she had been slowly groping around on her own, but now, she could directly take it to ask the crazy old man.

After a few pointers from the crazy old man, he sighed at Hua Ruge's intelligence, "This kid knows how to compete with me."

"Master is indeed more powerful." Hua Ruge said these words in his heart.

The Heavenly Scripture was so overbearing and obscure, that even if he started cultivating from the beginning, he might not be able to understand it. It had to be known that her master started from the middle of her cultivation.

"Brat, you're always too lazy and never put your mind to training. If you study hard, you'll be able to rule the entire territory in less than fifty years." The crazy old man said sincerely.

"Fifty years?" Hua Ruge's eyelids jumped.

The crazy old man nodded. "As long as you work hard and train, you definitely can."

Hua Ruge nodded repeatedly, and promised himself that he would train diligently in the future. Only then did the crazy old man let her go satisfied.

The moment Hua Ruge left the great hall, he scratched his head and whispered: "Even if I didn't train diligently, I wouldn't have needed that long."

What a joke, she was someone with a cheating device, how could she possibly cultivate properly?

She wanted to return to her room to cultivate, but just as she stepped out, she saw a man dressed in black walking towards her.

She had seen this man before, and he should be a protector of Illusory Sea Sect.

"Brother Hu, how have you been?" Zhan Ling laughed and said.

Hua Ruge also returned the courtesy: "Thank you for your concern, Senior Zhan, everything about me is fine."

She remembered more details now, as if he was the one who investigated on Zhong Zheng's matter. Thinking about the suicide notice, her smile grew wider.

"If I remember correctly, Junior Hu loves to drink wine. I wonder if you would come and drink a pot with me today." Zhan Ling invited.0

On the other hand, Hua Ruge was curious, what was there to drink about someone who did not have any feelings for one another, and did not even have time for new years?

However, since she was personally invited, she could not say no. She then said, "I wish for nothing more."

"Then junior apprentice-brother, please." Zhan Ling gestured to invite her in.

When Hua Ruge thought about how he was going to climb the mountain again, he felt a little apprehensive. Thus, he opened his mouth and said: "Since Senior Brother Zhan is here, why not let me be the host again. I do have good wine."

"That's good." Zhan Ling was not polite.

Hua Ruge could not discern anything from his face, so he decided to temporarily not try to guess his intentions. It would be a waste to think too much into it while drinking.

Seeing her unrestrained attitude, Zhan Ling didn't seem like those kind of shrewd and shrewd people. Could it be that he was wrong about her in the past?

"Senior Brother Zhan, even if you didn't come, I would have invited you." Hua Ruge poured a cup of wine for him and said, "To think that you helped me clear my suspicion of Senior Brother Zhong's matter. Otherwise, everyone would still suspect me."

Zhan Ling raised his glass and said: "I am only doing things impartially, Junior Brother Hu is frank, so I naturally do not need to help."

"You can't put it like that. If it was someone who heard rumors and didn't understand what was going on, they would have already blamed me." Hua Ruge was rejoicing.

Seeing her sincere expression, Zhan Ling did not know whether it was because he was thinking too much or because she was pretending too well.

"Come, drink." He smiled.

"I toast you, senior apprentice-brother." Hua Ruge raised his cup as he spoke, and finished it in one gulp.

Zhan Ling also drank it cleanly and then said: "Junior Brother, this wine is indeed good wine."

"Not only that, this dish is also a delicious high-rank dish. Senior brother, try it." Hua Ruge said as he picked up his chopsticks again.

Zhan Ling picked up a piece of duck meat, and after eating it, nodded his head repeatedly and said, "It's really delicious."

"Our Illusory Sea Sect is really good, but it's not that much of a fun job. That's why I can only pick a few cooks from the bottom of the mountain to specialize in cooking." Hua Ruge laughed.

"Junior apprentice-brother truly lives up to his expectations." On Zhan Ling's face, there was an even more probing look.

Hua Ruge then pointed to the wine cup and said, "I brewed this wine myself. There are many medicinal herbs, such as Snow Lotus Lingzhi, that can increase your cultivation after drinking it. Senior brother needs to drink a few more cups."

"I didn't expect that junior apprentice-brother would be such an expert." Zhan Ling said as he drank another cup. He had indeed never tasted such a sweet and mellow wine before.

Hua Ruge laughed and said: "This is how a person should be, they should be the first to eat and drink, it's interesting to see them come and go like this."

"I truly envy your temperament, junior apprentice-brother."

"However, there are very few people who can find joy in being imprisoned on this mountain." Hua Ruge poured wine for the two of them and said: "We might as well get to know some friends, it's not a waste of time."

As she spoke, she drained her cup in one gulp. Her smile was very sincere.
