"Miss Six, you have a guest here."
As soon as Qing Yu came back from the outside, the guard who asked the question stepped forward and said softly.
"My guest." Qing Yu raised her eyebrows. She doesn't seem to have any good friends in the capital.
At this time, in the living room, Yan Su was entertaining a tall woman in a light blue long dress. The woman had a delicate face, a pair of clear and eye-catching eyes were shrewd and wise, and her temperament was noble and indifferent. Often people can ignore her appearance. And was attracted by that unique temperament.
"Lai Lai" Qing Yu's eyes lit up, and she cried out with joy.
Hearing the voice, Mu Lai subconsciously stood up and took a few steps forward, and was hugged by the oncoming girl. That cold and indifferent face blushed imperceptibly, and then reached out and hugged her back.
It was rare for Yan Su to see a girl so happy, so he was a little surprised for a while.
"Qing Yu, you met Miss Mu"
Originally, the servants came to report that there was a Miss Mu visiting. He was still a little puzzled. There was only one family surnamed Mu in Kyoto, and it was a small family that was not well known, so he definitely would not make such a sudden visit.
But the servant said that it was the young master of the Mu family, the number one alchemist family in the mainland.
Although the Mu family is far away in a remote place at the junction of several countries and acts low-key, the name of the No. 1 medicine refining family is well-known far and wide, and everyone knows it, especially the young master of the Mu family, although she is a woman, But he is a rare genius with both medicine and martial arts, and he is the best among the young juniors of the Mu family.
After all, she is just a girl who has just turned eighteen, although the calm atmosphere around her often makes people ignore her age.
Qing Yu took the girl's hand and smiled at Yan Su, "Father, this is my friend, I'll entertain you, if you're busy, go and deal with the business."
Seeing this, Yan Su nodded, "Alright, your girl's family can get along better, so treat Miss Mu well."
After speaking, he nodded to Mu Lai and went out.
Mu Lai watched Yan Su's figure walk away, and slowly looked away, "Your relationship doesn't seem to be very good."
Although the relationship between her and her father is not very close, she has always been in a state of fatherly love and daughterly filial piety.
And the relationship between Qing Yu and Yan Su is even more strange. There is nothing obvious on the surface, but the alienation between words and deeds cannot be hidden, or it is Qing Yu's attitude towards this father. Not very enthusiastic.
Of course, this point cannot be hidden from her who has been sensitive since she was a child.
Qing Yu raised her eyebrows when she heard the words, and said carelessly, "It's not bad, so let's just be so-so."
This was her family matter, so Mu Lai didn't ask any more questions.
"By the way, why did you suddenly come to Kyoto to look for me?" Qing Yu said with some doubts.
"I just want to see where you live." Mu Lai's eyes softened, and then he said, "Last time I saved the head of the Assassination Palace, they sent a bunch of things to Mu's house the next day, I guess I couldn't find you, so I sent all the thank you gifts to me, and I will send someone to you next time."
"Yeah." Qing Yu was startled for a moment, then waved his hands and said, "Don't, you just keep those things. You have so many family members, and refining medicine requires a lot of precious medicinal materials, and the medicinal materials on the market are so expensive now. , you save and buy more medicinal materials for alchemy, which can be regarded as benefiting the people."
The Mu family has always had a good reputation outside the home, and even opened a pharmacy, which is specially opened for those poor people who are poor and cannot afford medicines. The medicines are given away for free. It has been open for five or six years.
After hearing her words, Mu Lai's beautiful eyes flickered slightly, "You are the one who has always benefited the people in obscurity."
Doesn't this girl know how many precious and valuable things the Assassination Palace has sent
It was enough to buy a few bustling streets, and she just gave it away so carelessly.
And the sixth-level spirit beast that she killed in the spirit beast lair back then, the crystal nucleus that she took out was given to herself without blinking an eye. You must know that if the crystal nucleus of the sixth-level spirit beast is put up for auction , At least it can be sold for several million.
But she just said lightly, "You need it more than I do."
Indeed, she and those in the family made a bet at the beginning. If she could not get back the crystal nucleus of the sixth-level spirit beast, she would give up the position of Patriarch.
But how can she lose, she must not lose.
So even if she wanted to kill that spirit beast with her last breath, she was born extremely proud, and she had only served Qing Yuren in her life.
Mu Lai suddenly thought of something belatedly, and then asked, "That Yan Ningluo seems to be a member of the Piaomiao Sect, and her status is quite high in it. If she goes in in the future, she won't be able to come back within two or three years." , don’t you guys have to run into each other often?”
Since knowing Qing Yu's identity, Mu Lai has a general understanding of her affairs. She knows that Yan Ningluo has always disliked her, and will never look up and look down. What if she makes things difficult for her
Qing Yu raised her eyebrows, "It's unlikely, she is an inner disciple, and when I go in, I must be an ordinary outer disciple. She is so far away from inner disciples, and I can't meet them once in a few months. .”
She went in, not to learn anything, but because there were too many secrets in this body, she just wanted to figure it out, and the reason why she went to the Misty Sect was also because there seemed to be a voice in her heart guiding her.
After hearing this, Mu Lai felt that it made sense, nodded and said, "During this time, I live in the capital, and we can meet anytime if there is anything to do."
"What, do you have something to do in Kyoto?"
Although he came to see her, Qing Yu could still see that something was wrong with her expression, even though it was well hidden, she still found some clues.
"What happened"
Mu Lai was stunned for a moment, then shook his head lightly, "It's nothing, I just have never been to the capital of Qinglan Country, and I want to see the scenery here."
"You're lying to me." Qing Yu looked at her with a frown, "You are the young master of a big family. The family has so many things to deal with all day long. It's strange that you can still play around with your birth. Did something happen?"
In her previous life, let alone how many tedious affairs she had to deal with when she took over as the head of the family, even when she was selected as the heir, the pressure on her body was indescribable.
Moreover, there are so many branches of the Mu family staring at her, if she is not careful, her position as the young master will be snatched away, and the daughter must have gone through many obstacles in order to defy all opinions and sit on the position of the young master. Those people were respectful on the surface, but secretly they didn't know what sinister tricks they wanted to kill her.
Qing Yu couldn't be more clear about these dirty things in the big family.
Seeing Mu Lai's appearance now, she vaguely had some bad premonitions in her heart.
Seeing the girl's worried expression, Mu Lai's heart trembled slightly, and then he picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, as if he wanted to relieve the emotions that had accumulated in his heart for several days, "My father may not die soon. .”
Her tone was very flat, so flat that it was almost impossible to hear sadness or joy.
But her words shocked Qing Yu severely, how could
The Patriarch of the Mu Family, Mu Qingtian, is only about forty years old, and he is kind and kind. He is also a highly respected gold-grade pharmacist. How could the bad news happen so suddenly
Qing Yu was very unwilling to think about the bad things, but seeing the girl who had always been stable and arrogant showing such a powerless expression, she still asked tentatively, "It was done by your own people."
Mu Laishi's eyes tightened, and her slender knuckles made a "clack" sound. She opened her lips lightly, "If my father hadn't been so kind and merciful back then, he wouldn't have suffered such unexpected disasters now. When it comes to backlash, not only is the vitality seriously injured, but in just a few days, it has dropped from the third level of the gold level to the eighth level of the silver level, a total of five levels, and most of the hair has turned white."
This is the shortcoming of alchemists, who can make their physique stronger than ordinary people through alchemy, and look much younger, but if their vitality is damaged, they will continue to degrade and accelerate aging. The oil is exhausted and the lamp is dry.
After listening to what she said, Qing Yu felt a burst of emotion. She never thought that such a big thing would happen to her during the days of training in the Nether Canyon.
"Lai Lai, if you need my help, just tell me." Qing Yu took her hand and said seriously.
She came to the capital from such a long distance, probably because she wanted Qing Yu to give her some spiritual comfort. After all, she was only a teenage girl, and her father had such a big change, so she had to survive on her own. The whole family, and those wolves, tigers and leopards staring at him, the pressure can be imagined.
She was strong enough without the collapse of these oppressions.
In the past, she might only be able to hide these in her heart alone, but now, she has a friend who can treat each other sincerely and confide in her heart, at least she will no longer feel as if she can't breathe.
"Qing Yu, I want to save my father." Mu Lai suddenly lowered his eyes and said softly, "But after he knew the way to save him, he told me that he would rather die than accept me to save him. I even had a fight with him."
Qing Yu paused slightly, listening to what she said, this method of saving people didn't seem to be a good idea, otherwise Patriarch Mu wouldn't be so emotional.
"I read the classics in the bookstore. Father's state is dissipating Qi. As long as you feed a little ghost with the ability to gather energy with a wisp of the soul of a close relative, the little ghost will lose his energy after seventy-seven forty-nine days. After gathering all the essence, let father absorb it, and he will be healed."
"You're crazy." Before she could finish speaking, Qing Yu interrupted her sharply, "Do you know that this method is very vicious, and if you do this if you lose your cultivation, don't talk to me in the future if you are mentally disabled." A pharmacist has no chance, and is likely to become a puppet of a ghost exorcist."
"But I can't watch my father die." Mu Lai clenched his fingers, "The Mu family can't live without him."
"Then can we live without you?" Qing Yu glared at her, "I won't let you do such a thing."
Mulai frowned, "But"
"No but, since you came to me, I will help you solve it no matter what." Qing Yu snorted coldly, "I am the only friend who makes you so bad-tempered. If I don't help you, whoever will help you."
