Chapter 280: Forget It
"Oh? That’s such a coincidence!"
Just as Emperor Jiawen heaved a sigh of relief, he saw that Mu Qinghe’s face had no smiling intent. Mu Qinghe even looked at Chu Liuyue with an interrogative gaze.
Emperor Jiawen just realized that this didn’t make Mu Qinghe happy.
"You cultivate in all three disciplines? Which one are you better at?" asked Mu Qinghe lightly.
The palace was very quiet as everyone’s gazes kept shifting between Mu Qinghe and Chu Liuyue.
Yesterday, Mu Qinghe already acted very differently to Chu Liuyue. Now that he was here, he spoke to her again…
One would be lying through their teeth if they said that he had nothing to do with Chu Liuyue. However, they just didn’t know if it was a good thing or a bad thing.
Before Chu Liuyue could speak, Sun Zhongyan had already spoken. "Liuyue took first place in the warrior and Xuan Master competitions during the Qing Jiao Competition. She’s also very talented as a heavenly doctor…"
Yesterday, Sun Zhongyan had heard this person mention something to Emperor Jiawen, and it seemed like Mu Qinghe purposely came over to pick a few outstanding individuals.
Even if Mu Qinghe really didn’t like Chu Liuyue, he wouldn’t do anything unreasonable in consideration of her talent.
Mu Qinghe’s gaze remained unchanged. "Oh? So it seems like you’re an all-rounder?"
Chu Liuyue could hear the sarcasm in Mu Qinghe’s voice. He had been around her for many years, and she was very familiar with his every word and action.
Even though his face looked paralyzed most of the time and didn’t have much of an expression, Chu Liuyue could always guess what he was thinking. It seems like he is looking down on me being a so-called ‘all-rounder.’
"Rong Xiao said that you’re 14 this year. What’s your warrior standard?"
"Lieutenant Mu, I’m a stage-two warrior."
"What Xuan Master grade are you?"
"Second grade."
"What kind of pill can you produce?"
"Fourth-grade ones."
Mu Qinghe chuckled. "It seems like you’re pretty talented as a heavenly doctor, but you’re just so-so."
Chu Liuyue bent her knees and bowed. "His Majesty and Elder Sun are too kind toward me. Of course, my small talent isn’t good enough for you, Lieutenant Mu."
As he stared at Chu Liuyue’s calm and fearless expression, the anger in Mu Qinghe’s heart—which was derived from being offended—had unknowingly dissipated by quite a bit.
"At least you know your limits."
When that person was 14 back then… Mu Qinghe’s face suddenly became cold as if he had thought of something. Why did I think about that person again? She’s not the only cultivator that cultivates all three disciplines in the world, but how many of them can actually be compared to her?
Mu Qinghe didn’t speak any longer as he walked toward his seat with a cold face.
Emperor Jiawen stood beside him and could sharply feel that Mu Qinghe’s aura had suddenly become cold.
Emperor Jiawen couldn’t help but be curious. What happened? Weren’t they talking just fine? Chu Liuyue’s every word was spoken in a very polite manner, and she didn’t make any mistakes. So why does Mu Qinghe seem to be unhappy with her?
Even if Chu Liuyue’s talent can’t be compared to those in Tianling Dynasty, she is definitely one of the better ones in Country Yao Chen!
