The Marriage of an Esteemed Supreme Healer, a Noble Ruler Webnovel - Chapter 2214

2214 Ha
Mu Yafeng had never thought that she would be humiliated like this.

Even though the other party didn’t say a single dirty word and his attitude was still polite, those words still made her blush in embarrassment because it was the truth!

In Fantasy Divine Palace, geniuses were as common as clouds.

The fact that she had her current reputation and status was enough to show that she was indeed very outstanding. However, one was most afraid of comparison when it came to talent.

If you were first, others would naturally have nothing to say. However, if someone suddenly came out one day and crushed you easily—how would you feel?

!!
Mu Yafeng didn’t like Chu Liuyue from the beginning because she knew very well how shocking a talent one needed to complete the Star Path to that point in just a few days!

Previously, she could still comfort herself that Chu Liuyue was just a Great King Xuan Master and that there was nothing to take it to heart. But now, Ming Shu’s actions were equivalent to revealing everything. It reminded her bluntly that she was indeed inferior!

“Although Miss Shangguan is only a Great King Xuan Master now, I can imagine that she should be able to break through to become a Grandmaster Xuan Master soon. Miss Mu, you’re also a Xuan Master. You should know how important talent is to a Xuan Master.”

Perhaps diligence could make up for one’s shortcomings when cultivating as a warrior, but not for Xuan Masters.

Without that comprehension and spiritual energy… Even if one stared at a Xuan formation map for ten years or a hundred years, they would still be unable to comprehend it.

The higher the level, the more obvious the difference in Xuan Master talent was. This was also why they had rejected Mu Yafeng’s request previously. There was no other reason but that they didn’t like her.

Although Ming Shu didn’t say it out loud, how could Mu Yafeng not understand what he meant?

She slowly clenched her fists in her sleeves.

“By the way, Miss Mu, you said that you wanted some herbs just now?”
“It’s nothing important. Since Lord Ming is busy today, I’ll come back another day.” Mu Yafeng gritted her teeth and tried to keep her expression calm.

“Then, I won’t send you off.”

Lord Ming smiled and looked at Chu Liuyue. “Please—”

Chu Liuyue nodded slightly and went up the stairs.

Mu Yafeng turned around and left.

…

The staircase in the middle of Zhen Bao Pavilion spiraled up. It was completely hollow and used top-notch wood.

Chu Liuyue walked up step by step and quickly arrived at the second floor.

The decoration on the second floor was very different from the first floor. There were no external treasures here. Instead, there were private rooms that were very private.

“Miss Shangguan, the things are in the innermost room.” Ming Shu followed and led Chu Liuyue over.

Chu Liuyue scrutinized her surroundings but didn’t say anything. She followed him forward.

Ming Shu opened the door.

Chu Liuyue walked in.

Although the room wasn’t big, it was decorated elegantly. Everything she saw and used was top-notch.

Ming Shu came to the bookshelf by the wall and took down a wooden box. He turned around and handed it to Chu Liuyue.

“The upper and lower volumes of the Li Fire Xuan Map’ are both here. You can start with the upper volume. Everything you need to copy is on the table over there—use as much as you want.”

Chu Liuyue looked in the direction he was talking about. There were indeed many items on the table by the window sill.

She took the box, thought for a moment, and asked, “It takes a lot of time and energy to replicate the Xuan formation, especially since my current realm isn’t high enough. I might not be able to complete it immediately—”

“Miss Shangguan, you don’t have to worry about this. We all know that this is a delicate job and can’t be rushed. Just come back when you have time. As for the things that Miss Xiao Ba took away just now…”

He took out a list and quickly read it again. “You just need to replicate the ten Great King Xuan Master-level Xuan formations. Of course, if it’s a Grandmaster-level Xuan formation, one is more than enough.”

Chu Liuyue calculated that this ‘price’ wasn’t high.

If it were anyone else, they might find it a little troublesome, but this was really not a problem for her. Of course, she also wanted to see what mysteries were hidden in “Li Fire Xuan Map.”

“If there’s nothing else, then… I won’t disturb you anymore?” As Ming Shu spoke, he planned to leave.

“Wait.” Chu Liuyue suddenly stopped him. “I have another presumptuous request. I wonder if it’s convenient for you to help, Lord Ming?”

“Just say it. If I can help, I definitely won’t decline,” Ming Shu immediately said.

Chu Liuyue looked at him, and her lips slowly curled up. “I admire the Second Boss of Zhen Bao Pavilion very much. I wonder if I can have the chance to meet him?”

“This…” Ming Shu didn’t expect her to say this and was stunned for a moment. “Second Boss hasn’t been feeling well recently. You probably… can’t see him.”

“I know that. What I mean is: when it’s convenient for Second Boss, I want to thank him in person.”

Ming Shu hesitated for a moment. Since Chu Liuyue had already said so much, there seemed to be no reason to reject her.

“Then, I’ll ask Second Boss for instructions later. However, Miss Shangguan will probably have to wait for a while.”

“It’s fine.” Chu Liuyue had already guessed that this Second Boss wasn’t easy to meet, and Ming Shu’s answer was also within her expectations. “I can wait.”

Only then did Ming Shu relax and turn to leave.

…

The door was closed.

Only Chu Liuyue was left in the room.

She stared at Ming Shu’s departing figure for a while before retracting her gaze. Then, she walked over and opened the wooden box.

Two books were lying quietly inside.

Chu Liuyue took them out. On the surface, they weren’t much different from an ordinary Xuan formation map book.

Chu Liuyue picked up the first volume and flipped it open.

The first thing she saw was a Great King Xuan Master-level Xuan formation.

Yes, it was very familiar.

Chu Liuyue wasn’t surprised and flipped to the second page.

Yes, it was still very familiar.

Her expression didn’t change. She continued to the third page and smiled.

“Splitting the Grandmaster Xuan formation into several Great King Xuan Master-level Xuan formations… They really know how to play.” Her tone was light, and there was a smile on her lips. Then, she flipped through the first volume unhurriedly.

It was indeed as the rumors said. The Xuan formations in it had a high degree of overlap with the ones on the star path.

And on every Xuan formation, there was an annotation. Some had more, and some had less, but it was extremely useful for comprehending Xuan formations.

Chu Liuyue leaned against the chair for and then picked up the second volume.

“Hah.”

…

Mu Yafeng left Zhen Bao Pavilion and wanted to go back directly, but there seemed to be something stuck in her chest.

The scene just now kept replaying in her mind, making her temples hurt. Finally, she took a deep breath and changed direction, heading in the direction of Fantasy Divine Hall.

…

Jin Yunlai looked up from his book, his glabella furrowed slightly. “Mu Yafeng? What’s she doing here?”
