At that moment, Mu Qiqi hastily said, “This really can’t be blamed on me. The Heart-Protecting Pill is a miraculous remedy for such injuries. I never expected there would be such a core issue. I was just careless…”
“But I’m a second-rank spiritual alchemist. Who does he think he is to scold me?”
“Moreover… no matter what, I did help him regain consciousness, didn’t I?”
Qing Shihua, upon hearing this, smiled and said, “Alright, alright, as long as the person is awake, that’s all that matters.”
Mu Qiqi’s father held an extraordinary position, and her mother was the current princess. Growing up in the Qingyun Pavilion, she had been surrounded by second-rank and even third-rank spiritual alchemists. She had been nurtured in an environment of care and protection.
Moreover, Mu Qiqi had an exceptional talent for alchemy. She had been cultivated as a genius since childhood and had never been scolded in such a manner.
Qing Shihua continued, “However, Shiyu does have a point. This fellow does seem a bit arrogant…”
“Humph!”
Mu Qiqi indignantly said, “I think I shouldn’t have come. He’s just an ordinary alchemist, and yet he dares to scold me!”
Qing Shihua once again said, “Alright, Miss Mu, you almost caused his death, but fortunately, no harm was done.”
“Moreover, this young man has achieved the subtle realm of sword intent, and he is also an alchemist. It seems he is also a spiritual array master. If you can truly bring him into the Qingyun Pavilion, it would not be a wasted trip.”
“I regret coming now,” Mu Qiqi huffed. “Shihua, let’s go.”
With that, Mu Qiqi was about to pull Qing Shihua away. However, at that very moment, at the entrance of the courtyard, two figures stood there.
Ye Wushuang, dressed in white, still appeared somewhat weak, stood there with the support of Ye Feifei. Upon seeing Ye Wushuang, Mu Qiqi’s expression immediately soured.
“What are you doing here?” Mu Qiqi humphed.
Ye Wushuang felt helpless but still stepped forward, clasping his hands in a gesture of respect, and said, “Thank you, Miss Mu Qiqi, for coming to my rescue.”
“I dare not accept such thanks. I almost killed you,” Mu Qiqi retorted.
“No, no,” Ye Wushuang insisted. “Miss Mu’s alchemical skills are remarkable. I am truly in awe and grateful for your life-saving grace.”
Had it not been for his mother’s insistence that he apologize, he truly felt it was… unnecessary.
“Are you mocking me?” Mu Qiqi humphed again. “I didn’t save you. I almost killed you!”
Ye Wushuang felt a headache coming on. This young woman, being a second-rank spiritual alchemist at such a young age, clearly held a high status. He didn’t know how Xia Lei had managed to invite her, but angering such a woman and trying to appease her was truly troublesome.
Ye Wushuang said once more, “I am sincerely apologizing to Miss Mu. Without your Heart-Protecting Pill, it would have taken me much longer to wake up.”
“In any case, Miss Mu did help me.”
Mu Qiqi humphed and ignored Ye Wushuang.
Beside them, Qing Shihua smiled and said, “I heard from Shiyu that you are also an alchemist?”
Qing Shiyu?
Seeing Ye Wushuang’s puzzled expression, Qing Shihua continued, “My name is Qing Shihua. I am Qing Shiyu’s elder sister.”
Ye Wushuang smiled slightly and said, “I have heard a little about you.”
“Heard a little about me?”
Mu Qiqi then laughed and said, “Since you have only heard a little, let me test you. Do you dare to accept the challenge?”
She had come for Ye Wushuang, and if his alchemical skills were truly just a little bit of knowledge, then her trip would have been in vain.
Hearing such a provocative question, Ye Wushuang instinctively wanted to say, “I dare not.”
But at that moment, Ye Feifei spoke up, “My brother is amazing. He knows both alchemy and array techniques. What is there to be afraid of?”
Her words left Ye Wushuang stunned for a moment. Seeing Ye Feifei’s proud gaze, Ye Wushuang smiled warmly and said, “Indeed, there is nothing I dare not accept!”
