2317: Ignorant

Ignorant

Most importantly, he seemed to have come at a bad time.1

When the two people in the room heard this voice, they looked out the door.

Rong Xiu raised his sharp brows slightly. "This is—"

Ming Shu's heart trembled violently. Originally, he wanted to run, but it was clearly too late.

Speaking of going in… He really couldn't move his legs!

Chu Liuyue's lips curved up slightly. "Lord Ming, why are you here? Please come in."

Having been given the order, he didn't dare to disobey.

Ming Shu held his breath silently and walked stiffly into the house.

Chu Liuyue stood up. "Rong Xiu, let me introduce you. This is Master Ming Shu from Zhen Bao Pavilion. He treats me very well and even helped me a lot previously."

Rong Xiu's thin crimson lips curled up. "I see. Master Ming Shu, I've heard a lot about you."

Ming Shu's legs went weak. Forcing a smile, he barely restrained the urge to kneel down and bow. "You flatter me! I've heard a lot about you two! Hahaha…"

Rong Xiu smiled and said, "Since Master Ming Shu has taken good care of Yue'er, as her husband, I naturally have to thank you."

Ming Shu didn't dare. "It's just a small matter. It's not worth mentioning!"

At this moment, he was extremely grateful to Yan Ge.

If not for that person's reminder, he wouldn't even know when he had offended Madam. How could he still stand in front of this person and speak?

Chu Liuyue raised her hand. "Master Ming Shu, please take a seat. Tell me slowly."

How could Ming Shu dare to sit down?

He coughed and waved his hand. "No need, no need. I came today because I have something to tell you. After that, I'll leave."

Chu Liuyue looked at Ming Shu and felt that his behavior today was a little strange. He seems… very nervous?

"It's definitely not a small matter for you to solve the case yourself. Please tell me."

Ming Shu tried his best to look as calm as usual and said, "It's like this. I came over this time to ask you if you've been in contact with Mu Yafeng recently?"

Chu Liuyue was dazed. "Mu Yafeng? No, why?"

Ming Shu frowned. "Actually, it's nothing much. It's just that… Since yesterday, Mu Yafeng has continued to travel the Star Path. And in just one day, she cracked three Grandmaster-level Xuan formations. I felt a little strange, so I came over to ask you. Look…"

"Master Ming Shu thinks that I revealed the contents of the Li Fire Xuan Painting to her?" Chu Liuyue immediately understood.

"Don't misunderstand." Ming Shu hurriedly explained, "I just feel that this matter is really strange, so I want to ask you for confirmation. After all, it's extremely difficult to crack those few Xuan formations. Previously, she didn't make any progress for so long, but she has now suddenly advanced by leaps and bounds…"

Chu Liuyue nodded in understanding. "Master Ming Shu makes sense. Previously, Senior Xiao Ran also said that back then, he spent a few years on those Grandmaster-level Xuan formations before he could barely comprehend them. According to his speculation, it should've taken Mu Yafeng a long time to crack these Xuan formations…"

Previously, she was busy with the Fantasy Divine Sea, so she didn't know that Mu Yafeng had made a move again. Now that she heard about it, she also found it very strange.

"The Li Fire Xuan Painting is a treasure of Zhen Bao Pavilion. When I agreed to help replicate it, I already knew the rules and would never easily reveal it to outsiders. I didn't even leak anything to these people under me. Master Ming Shu, you can rest assured about this."

Ming Shu hurriedly said, "Of course, I believe in you. I have no intention of doubting you!"

Heavens! I was really just curious, so I came over to ask. How did I know that I would bump into this person?! Aren't I suspecting that there is something wrong with Madam in front of him?

Even if I had ten more guts, I wouldn't dare to do this! If I had known that this person was here, I would never have stepped into this courtyard!

Chu Liuyue smiled. "I know that Master Ming Shu doesn't mean any harm. Actually, it's not just you—I also find it a little strange when I hear it. Mu Yafeng is talented, but with her own strength, it's indeed impossible for her to crack three Grandmaster-level Xuan formations in a row in such a short time."

Chu Liuyue's words were still tactful.

In fact, it should be said that it was impossible. If she had this ability long ago, she wouldn't have dragged her feet on the Star Path for so many years.

In the eyes of many people in Fantasy Divine Palace, Mu Yafeng was already a rare genius. But with Chu Liuyue… She was just so-so.

Ming Shu heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Not only that, but she's not done yet. She's still on the Star Path. When I came just now, I passed by and took a few glances. It was like a hot knife through butter."

Chu Liuyue was a little surprised. "You mean… she plans to walk straight through the Star Path and enter Fantasy Divine Hall?"

Ming Shu paused. "It's hard to say, but if her performance continues like this, then… It might really work."

Chu Liuyue frowned slightly.

Actually, she didn't really care about Mu Yafeng, but this matter was really strange. Otherwise, Ming Shu wouldn't have specially made this trip.

"I'm mainly here today to talk about this. It's up to you to decide," Ming Shu said.

Chu Liuyue nodded. "Thank you for your reminder, Master Ming Shu."

Ming Shu waved his hand. "Then… If there's nothing else, I'll leave first? Zhen Bao Pavilion still has some things to deal with. Ahem."

When Chu Liuyue heard this, she didn't ask him to stay. "I'll send you off."

"No need, no need. I was rash to disturb the two of you. I'll leave now."

How could Ming Shu dare to let the two of them send him off? As he spoke, he walked out.

"Take care, Master Ming Shu," said Rong Xiu nonchalantly.

Ming Shu staggered, and a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

He barely stabilized himself and looked up. The corners of his eyes then twitched. "Yan—"

Yan Qing stood with his sword in his arms. There was no expression on his handsome and cold face as he looked at him quietly.

Ming Shu hurriedly swallowed the rest of his words and nodded slightly before leaving in a hurry.

For some reason, he walked faster. In the blink of an eye, he had already opened the door of the courtyard and left.

"…So anxious." Chu Liuyue gazed at Ming Shu's back and muttered softly.

"The person he was talking about just now is the one who asked you for the Li Fire Xuan Painting previously?" Rong Xiu turned his head and asked.

Chu Liuyue nodded in deep thought. "That's her. But with my understanding of her, she shouldn't be able to do this…"

Even if she went back to seclusion for a period of time, she wouldn't have advanced so quickly.

"The Seventh Deity values her very much. I wonder if she went to consult him."

Rong Xiu raised his eyebrows slightly and said lightly, "Then, the Seventh Deity really doesn't have good taste."
