Chapter 683: What a Joke
Fu Meng thought that Yu Shijin would not reject her this time.
After all, it was Old Master Zhuge.
Unexpectedly, Yu Shijin was even more straightforward this time.
After hearing her words, he didn’t even look at her and just sat in the backseat of the black car.
The chief detective was also very tactful. After Yu Shijin boarded the car, he immediately stepped on the gas and drove off.
Fu Meng remained standing there with a twisted expression.
Yu Shijin sat in the backseat and didn’t speak. He just looked out the window. The sky was already turning dark. The chief detective didn’t have the lights on, and his face was a little blurry in the rearview mirror.
Yu Shijin looked down at his phone. There was a message asking where he was.
His slender and fair phone rubbed against the screen. After a long while, he replied that he would be back soon.
After replying, Yu Shijin was still deep in thought. He reached into his pocket and took out a cigarette.
A faint blue light flashed from the lighter. The chief detective, who was driving, saw the flames in the rearview mirror and immediately said, “Boss, Miss Su said that you better not smoke.”
Yu Shijin glanced at him and ignored him.
That gaze was as cold as always. If it was in the past, the chief detective would definitely not say anything to him. However, it was different this time. The chief detective had someone backing him up.
He drove the car expressionlessly, his voice emotionless. “Boss, feel free to smoke. If you don’t tell Miss Su when we get back, it will be my loss.”
Yu Shijin paused.
This time, the chief detective was no longer afraid of Yu Shijin’s gaze. He looked very determined.
He remained expressionless.
The chief detective was still driving, but he glanced at the rearview mirror from the corner of his eyes. Seeing Yu Shijin pause for a few seconds before extinguishing the cigarette, he snorted.
You have such a day!
…
The black car slowly drove into the manor.
There were quite a number of people inside.
Elder Yu was also here.
He massaged his temples and looked at Su Huiqing who was sitting on the sofa and typing on her laptop. He said in a low voice, “Bring me the things that Young Master hasn’t settled recently. I will help him settle them. He can’t be too busy.”
“Those things?” Yu Yan snapped out of his trance and shook his head. “Miss Su seems to have already dealt with them.”
“Miss Su?” Elder Yu was stunned. “When did you settle it?”
“She brought it back the night before, and I brought it over the next day,” Yu Yan said very honestly. “I plan to send it back to the island tomorrow.”
Elder Yu couldn’t help but knock his head. “What a mess. That’s a week’s worth. It’s not like you don’t know your master’s habits. He has always liked to pile things up and finish them. One night is not even a tenth. You dare to send this back to the island? Get someone to send it to me later.”
Yu Yan had never dealt with such matters before. Only after hearing the elder’s words did he react. He said somewhat aggrievedly, “I asked Miss Su. She said that she had finished dealing with it. What if she found out about this?”
Elder Yu glanced at him and ignored him.
Yu Shijin and the chief detective returned.
Yu Shijin didn’t look too good.
The chief detective placed the keys on the table. Yu Yan walked over quietly and asked, “What happened?”
The chief detective wanted to laugh but didn’t dare to. He just said seriously, “Don’t say I didn’t tell you. Don’t provoke Boss for the time being.”
Yu Yan muttered, “I know even if you don’t tell me.”
“Young Master.” Elder Yu stood up.
“You haven’t eaten yet?” Yu Shijin nodded casually before walking to Su Huiqing’s side and asking Yu Qin.
Yu Qin shook her head.
Yu Shijin immediately nodded and took the laptop away from Su Huiqing. “Let’s eat.”
Su Huiqing didn’t say anything. It was indeed lunchtime.
“Where did you go today?” The others went to the kitchen to serve the food. Yu Shijin sat beside her and asked in a deep voice.
Su Huiqing saved the photo on her computer and replied casually, “Nothing much. I was just taking a walk.”
Yu Shijin stared into her eyes for a long while before sighing helplessly.
He felt a little upset. This person had always been one to do whatever she wanted. She seldom stopped for anyone. This was the first time he saw her somewhat aggrieved.
It was impossible to say that she was unhappy.
“Don’t go tomorrow,” he said softly. However, how could he let her do such a thing?
Only then did Su Huiqing realize that he probably knew something. She couldn’t help but smile. “Alright, let’s go eat.”
Yu Shijin glanced at her and wanted to say something, but Yu Han came over. He swallowed his words and followed Su Huiqing to eat with a cold face.
…
At the same time…
Murong Family…
Elder Murong and the rest sat in the hall. Everyone looked worried. The Murong Family Head frowned. “In that case, Old Master Yang intends to stand by and do nothing?”
“In that case?” Elder Murong sighed. “Nothing else. The main thing is that Fu Meng is in too much of a limelight this time. If it was only the miracle doctor’s sect, Old Master Yang would have had a relationship with us for generations. He wouldn’t have stopped interfering just because of the miracle doctor’s sect. However, this time, it’s related to Old Master Zhuge.”
“That’s right.” Murong Bing’s expression was somewhat cold. “Old Master Yang wants his grandson to follow Old Master Zhuge. Only the miracle doctor’s sect can help them. Fu Meng must have won this time. Old Master Zhuge came especially for her. Our Murong Family is going all-out against the miracle doctor’s sect. If the Yang Family continues to cooperate with our Murong Family, how can they have the chance to follow Old Master Zhuge? It’s understandable. We can’t blame them.”
Upon hearing Murong Bing’s words, the Murong Family Head and Elder Murong frowned tightly.
It was expected that they would go against the miracle doctor’s sect.
After all, it was very obvious that the miracle doctor’s sect wanted to monopolize everything. This was just an opportunity. Without this reason, there would still be other reasons. It was just a matter of time.
They just didn’t expect Old Master Zhuge to appear.
Originally, there was only the miracle doctor’s sect. As the Murong Family’s potion maker, the Yang Family would not betray them.
However, with Old Master Zhuge around, even Old Yang couldn’t help but be tempted.
“Master, Old Master Yang is here.” An old man entered.
Upon seeing the person, everyone from the Murong Family in the meeting room could not help but stop and look at the person who entered.
“Sorry, Master.” Old Master Yang glanced at the Murong Family Head. He was somewhat ashamed, but he was still very determined. “I will never have the chance to break through to become a high-level potion maker in my life. This time, Miss Fu Meng will arrange a chance for Mr. Duo to seek guidance from me. I might break through to a top-level potion maker. I will not give up such an opportunity.”
“You!” Although Murong Bing thought of Old Master Yang’s words, he could not help but hit the table when he heard it. “If not for my grandpa taking you in, would your Yang Family still be alive now?”
“My Yang Family has let you down.” Old Master Yang shook his head. “Moreover, I have refined a few bottles of high-level potions for your Murong Family for so many years. We are even.”
With that, he turned and left.
Murong Bing wanted to go forward but was stopped by the Murong Family Head. “Forget it. Let’s find another way.”
At the miracle doctor’s sect…
After Old Master Yang left the Murong Family, he went to meet Fu Meng.
Fu Meng was reading an ancient book. When she heard the reply, she couldn’t help but smile. Her voice was cold. “This is just the first step. Without my miracle doctor sect and without my high-level potion, let’s see how your Murong Family will be the only one left in this resource competition. Murong Bai, the good days have just begun.”
Old Master Yang received Fu Meng’s assurance and felt even more refreshed after leaving the house.
However, on the way, he met a familiar face.
“Old Master Yang.” The middle-aged man greeted him.
“So it’s Master Chen.” Old Master Yang recognized the middle-aged man as Master Chen.
“I heard that Old Master Yang is leaving the Murong Family?” Master Chen was the person who helped Su Huiqing get to know the stones at the stone-cutting competition. “Can I ask why?”
“People strive for greater heights.” Old Master Yang’s smile faded. “Master Chen, forgive me, but you should leave the Murong Family as soon as possible. Without a potion maker, the Murong Family will only receive fewer and fewer resources in the future. There will be no benefits for you there. Moreover, your mother needs potions to extend her life. Staying in the Murong Family is not a good choice.”
“Leave the Murong Family?” Master Chen was stunned. “Why do you want to leave the Murong Family? The Murong Family doesn’t lack potions.”
“No lack of potions?” Old Master Yang couldn’t help but look at Master Chen. He wondered if this person was crazy. Their Yang Family had already left, and the miracle doctor’s sect wouldn’t cooperate with the Murong Family. How could the Murong Family have potions?
“Forget it, I won’t talk to you anymore.” Old Master Yang felt that he shouldn’t waste his breath.
With the pressure from the miracle doctor’s sect, the Murong Family probably couldn’t even take out a bottle of intermediate-level potion.
Master Chen was even more stunned.
He took out a bottle of high-level potion that Murong Bai had just given him a few days ago. The Murong Family lacked potions? What a joke.
