Chapter 21 An Encounter with Consort Ya
When Xiao Yixian and Qinglin officially moved into the Mu family home, Chen Hui arranged for them to live next door to Mu Zhan.
Chen Hui and Mu Chen also pulled Mu Zhan aside and gave him a long speech, implying that they were very satisfied with Little Fairy Doctor and Qing Lin.
Mu Zhan interrupted the two elders in time, saying that she was still a young girl and he was only twelve, so it was definitely impossible for them to be together for the time being. They could only be friends for now.
After the two elders left, Mu Zhan shook his head, putting all these trivial matters behind him.
……
"Mu Zhan! Mu Zhan, you come out here!"
Mu Zhan had barely sat down, his bottom not even warm, when he heard a familiar voice calling from outside, seemingly calling his name.
"Isn't this Nalan Yanran?"
"Yes, what does she want with the young master?"
"I don't know, could it be that the young master dumped her?"
"..."
Some members of the Mu family who enjoy gossip were drawn over by Nalan Yanran's voice and began speculating about her purpose in being there.
Nalan Yanran also heard the whispers nearby, some of which made her blush. She clenched her fists and gave a fierce look to the crowd.
They knew Nalan Yanran's reputation; she was the little tyrant of the capital, and only Mu Zhan among her peers could suppress her. When they saw that Nalan Yanran seemed about to resort to violence, they quickly scrambled away.
"Hey, Nalan Yanran, what brings you to my Mu family with such a grand entrance?"
Upon hearing the sound, Mu Zhan walked out and looked at Nalan Yanran outside the door.
Compared to a year ago, Nalan Yanran has shed some of her naivety and grown much taller. Her strength is still at the Dou Qi stage, but she's close to becoming a Dou Zhe.
"Mu Zhan, you..."
Nalan Yanran suddenly found herself unable to say it. She was very happy to hear that Mu Zhan had returned today, but who knew that she would also hear that Mu Zhan had brought back two little girls, and that they were both very beautiful.
This news ignited a nameless rage within her, and she grabbed a weapon and stormed into the Mu family's residence, demanding an explanation.
But when she actually got there, she lost her temper. What was her status? She had no relationship with Mu Zhan, no engagement, and it seemed she had no right to question him.
"What's wrong? Why did the engine stall?"
Mu Zhan looked at the hesitant Nalan Yanran in front of him, wondering what she was up to this time.
However, he was still prepared to keep his promise from last time, so he stretched his ankles and walked towards Nalan Yanran.
"What...what are you doing?"
Nalan Yanran saw Mu Zhan walking towards her with a strange expression, and she began to panic.
"Didn't I say that if you break into my Mu family's house and cause trouble again, I'll kick your ass?"
As Mu Zhan approached, he prepared to lift his foot.
"Mu Zhan! You...you're so mean! I...I'm going back to tell my teacher!"
Upon hearing Mu Zhan's words, Nalan Yanran recalled the time she was kicked in the butt by him. She quickly covered her bottom, her face flushed with shame and anger, and ran away while looking back to see if Mu Zhan was catching up.
"This little girl is quite interesting."
Mu Zhan couldn't help but laugh as he watched Nalan Yanran flee in disarray. He and Nalan Yanran were childhood sweethearts, weren't they?
After all, Nalan Yanran used to come and spar with him all the time, and sometimes he felt a little lost without this little girl.
Afterwards, Mu Zhan used his family's connections to collect a lot of poisons for Little Fairy Doctor, in order to help her break through to the next level.
With the help of the Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil, Qing Lin quickly broke through to the Dou Zhe level. There was no suitable cultivation technique for Qing Lin yet, so Mu Zhan could only find a Xuan-rank cultivation technique for Qing Lin as a transition, and make further plans after they went to Canaan Academy.
Because the original work did not describe in detail what Qinglin experienced in the Heavenly Serpent Palace, Mu Zhan was not too keen on sending the current Qinglin to the Heavenly Serpent Palace.
Qinglin still lacks a sense of security, so Mu Zhan thinks it would be best for her to go to Canaan Academy with him. Perhaps there will be some records about the cultivation of the Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil at Canaan Academy.
"In the original story, Xiao Yan even found a jade tablet recording the Three Transformations of Heavenly Flame in the Alchemist Guild's market. I wonder if I can find it if I go there now."
Since Mu Zhan had nothing to do at the moment, he decided to try his luck at the Alchemist Guild. So he left the Mu family alone and came to the market of the Alchemist Guild.
There were many alchemists from the empire setting up stalls, displaying all sorts of strange and unusual items. Mu Zhan scanned them one by one with his soul power, visiting several stalls, but he couldn't find anything special.
"I guess I'm just not destined to be the protagonist."
Mu Zhan shook his head, preparing to leave.
"Young Master Mu Zhan?"
Just as Mu Zhan was about to leave, a charming and alluring voice came from behind him.
Mu Zhan turned his head and saw a beautiful woman with outstanding temperament, her jade-like legs wrapped in black stockings, and wearing a cheongsam.
"It really is you!"
Ya Fei had some business to attend to at the Alchemist Guild today, and she spotted a familiar figure while passing through the market.
From a distance, it looked like Mu Zhan. As she got closer, she confirmed that it really was Mu Zhan. Moreover, Mu Zhan was all alone today, without the two girls by his side. Ya Fei immediately felt like striking up a conversation with him.
The Mittel family has always valued the art of judging character, and Yafei felt that befriending Mu Zhan, a genius with enormous potential, would be a sure-fire way to make money.
"Who are you?"
Although Mu Zhan did not recognize the woman in front of him, he could roughly guess her identity from her clothes and demeanor.
"It's a pleasure to meet Young Master Mu Zhan. I am Mittelya Fei."
Ya Fei's eyes were alluring, her beautiful red lips slightly upturned, and she extended a hand to Mu Zhan, wanting to shake hands with him.
"So it's Miss Ya Fei, I'm very happy too."
Mu Zhan exclaimed, "Is this the woman Mu Zhan licked in the original novel? Her looks are indeed extraordinary."
His large hand gently grasped the front half of that delicate, pink hand, and then they parted.
Ya Fei's eyes flashed; this was the first time she had ever encountered a man who didn't lose his composure in front of her.
She had only caught a fleeting glimpse of admiration in Mu Zhan's eyes.
This only made Ya Fei more interested in the man in front of her. She wanted to know his inner self and how he had become the number one genius in the capital.
"Miss Yafei, if there's nothing else, please excuse me for not keeping you company any longer."
Although Mu Zhan thought Ya Fei was very beautiful, he wasn't obsessed with her. He still felt that finding the Three Transformations of Heavenly Fire was the most important thing.
"Young Master Mu Zhan, are you looking to buy something? Is there anything Ya Fei can help with?"
She had just seen Mu Zhan looking around at these stalls, seemingly searching for something.
"It's nothing important, so there's no need to trouble Miss Yafei."
Mu Zhan felt that if he couldn't find anything, Ya Fei probably wouldn't either.
However, he underestimated a woman's intuition.
