“Moreover, Xia Lei has brought several pills with him. I took a look, and they are indeed extraordinary. Xia Lei claims that these pills were crafted by Ye Wushuang,” Mu Qiqi said, as several pills appeared in the palm of her hand, emitting a faint and delightful fragrance.
Qing Shihua glanced at the pills and smiled, “This young man is truly remarkable. However… what does this letter mean by ‘unconscious’?”
Mu Qiqi took the letter but did not respond. Instead, she affectionately embraced Qing Shihua’s slender waist and said with a grin, “I had originally planned to send a second-rank pill master, but since you’ve said this, I must see for myself.”
“Really?”
Qing Shihua teased immediately, “Be careful not to be charmed by some pretty face and lose your way back.”
“Are you talking about yourself?”
Qing Shihua!
The eldest daughter of the Zhen Shan Wang of the Qingyun Empire, and now a distinguished talent on the Qingyun Academy’s Tayan list, she is truly a favored child of heaven.
Mu Qiqi’s background is also far from ordinary. Her mother is the imperial princess, and also Qing Shihua’s aunt.
For Qing Shihua and Mu Qiqi, they are cousins, and the two have been extremely close since childhood, sharing everything with each other.
“Wait a moment,” Mu Qiqi said abruptly, “Could it be that Shiyu is not deceiving you?”
“I don’t think so,” Qing Shihua replied with a smile, “That girl… I think she’s been completely captivated by this Ye Wushuang.”
“Really?”
“You have no idea…” Qing Shihua continued, “Ever since she came back and was confined by her father, she’s been constantly talking to me about how amazing and incredible this Ye Wushuang is…”
“She even said… once Ye Wushuang arrives at Qingyun Academy, my top-ten position on the Tayan list will definitely be surpassed by him.”
Upon hearing this, Mu Qiqi stood up, spread her arms, and stood by the window, looking as ethereal as a fairy. She smiled and said, “In that case, I must see for myself even more.”
“Hmm? For a mere pill master, even if he is very talented, is it really necessary for the daughter of the Qingyun Pavilion’s head to take action personally?” Qing Shihua laughed, “I think you just want to see if he’s handsome, don’t you?”
“Silly girl, talking nonsense.” Mu Qiqi playfully tightened her grip on Qing Shihua’s neck, but laughed, “He is truly a genius, and it’s worth my trip.”
“Recently, the Sacred Pill Pavilion has been pressing down on us so hard that our Qingyun Pavilion can hardly breathe. Even Old Master Cheng is quite troubled.”
“Especially with the emergence of a young first-rank pill master from the Sacred Pill Pavilion, who has refined several unique first-rank pills with low prices, taking away a lot of our business.”
Hearing this, the smile on Qing Shihua’s face also disappeared, and she said, “The Sacred Pill Pavilion has a deep background, and even the royal family dares not provoke it. I’m afraid my aunt must have been very worried about this.”
“My mother…”
Mu Qiqi said, “My mother won’t be troubled, because my father is there to support her.”
Thinking of Mu Qiqi’s father, that unfathomable figure, Qing Shihua also nodded slowly.
If it were just the Qingyun Empire’s royal family establishing the Qingyun Pavilion to compete with the Sacred Pill Pavilion, they would definitely not be a match.
But with Mu Qiqi’s father there, the Qingyun Pavilion is not really afraid of the Sacred Pill Pavilion.
However, the Sacred Pill Pavilion is backed by external forces of the empire, with deep roots and extremely strong pill masters, and the quality of their refined pills is indeed better.
This is something the Qingyun Pavilion cannot match.
What the Qingyun Pavilion lacks is pill masters.
“Since that’s the case, I’ll go with you!”
Qing Shihua said with a smile.
“Oh? The precious daughter of the Zhen Shan Wang, accompanying me to a remote place like Liuyue City, I’m truly honored.”
“Ask for a beating,” Qing Shihua laughed, and then calmed down, saying, “Shiyu originally went to the Liuyue Mountains to carry out an academy mission, but she encountered Chu Yunsheng of the Chu clan and almost died at his hands. It was Ye Wushuang who saved her.”
“Now that Chu Yunsheng is dead, Chu Yuntian accuses Shiyu of killing a fellow disciple. The academy takes this matter very seriously and has sent disciples to investigate discreetly. I’ll take a look as well.”
“Ye Wushuang again,” Mu Qiqi said in surprise, “It seems it’s really necessary to make a trip.”
With that, Mu Qiqi took Qing Shihua’s wrist.
“What for?”
“Let’s go!”
“Now?”
Mu Qiqi laughed, “Of course. He’s in a coma. If we go too late and he dies, wouldn’t our Qingyun Pavilion suffer a great loss?”
