120. Like a Master Shifu, like an apprentice (1)

The news that Mu Chen was an eighth-level qualification really made Mu Chen popular again.

Ye Rong couldn't help but feel a deep jealousy in her heart after listening to the generous praise of Mu Chen from the people around her.

The reason why Ye Shi was with Mu Chen was because of the Ye family.

If it wasn't for the marriage arrangement between the Mu family and the Ye family, Ye Shi and Mu Chen would have no chance to know each other.

In her mother's letter, she said that the marriage arrangement was set for any proper ones between the Ye family and the Mu family, which meant she actually had a chance.

Among the Ye family's juniors, she was the most suitable person to get engaged to Mu Chen, but Mu Chen had behaved badly since he was a child. He was a spoiled child. At that time, her father felt that Mu Chen had no future at all, so he arranged the engagement to Ye Shi. Her mother once did a little help to the arrangement.

When Ye Rong knew all this, she almost clenched her teeth.

If, at the beginning, she was the one to be married to Mu Chen, then maybe now, the person who was with Mu Chen was her.

If she were Mu Chen's fiancée, then she would be the one who had such a wonderful fiance, countless elementary stones, flame talismans that were priced at sky-high prices on the black market, all kinds of medicinal pills... Thinking of all this, Ye Rong felt dizzy.

Just because of her father and mother's change of thoughts, all of these became Ye Shi's. Thinking of this, Ye Rong couldn't help but feel a little more resentment towards her parents.

"Ye Rong, aren't you going to take the task?" A female student came over and asked Ye Rong.

"I'll go right away." Ye Rong replied.

"What did you tell her about the mission? She has a rich family and she doesn't need that money." Another female student said.

"Really? Is she rich? No! She looks quite poor." The girl who reminded Ye Rong was a little puzzled.

Hearing the two of them talking, Ye Rong's face suddenly turned red.

The cultivation of a martial art master requires a lot of elementary stones. There were many children of wealthy families in Saint Star Academy, but there were also many children of commoners.

The college provided some tasks for poor students, so that students could earn a certain amount of elementary stones.

The powerful senior students usually chose to go out in teams to hunt monsters and collect spirit grasses in the wild.

For freshmen, these tasks were too dangerous. Generally, freshmen could only choose cleaning job, being an assistant to the teacher, helping in the kitchen, help farming in the spirit land, and so on.

Ye Rong's previous job was to help in the library. It was such a task that Ye Rong complained about, but many people were envious of it.

Helping in the library could be rewarded 20,000 elementary stones a month. 20,000 elementary stones was already a huge sum of money for the poor freshmen.

Ye Rong was a young miss of Ye's family after all. For Ye Rong, 20,000 elementary stones was not too much, nor was it too little. However, everything can't be compared. Thinking that Ye Shi didn't need to do anything but he already had hundreds of thousands of elementary stones to spend, Ye Rong felt so unfair.

Ye Rong looked at the elementary stone card in her hand, feeling depressed for a while.

She wrote to her father and asked him to send her some elementary stones, but her father said that he had no money for her and even scold her for being useless. He said that even the ugly Ye Shi could find the cash cow like Mu Chen. But she was so useless that she stiill need to depend on the Ye family.

She wrote to her mother asking her to send some elementary stones, but her mother refused and asked her to borrow money from Ye Shi.

If she could borrow money from Ye Shi, she would have already done it.

Ye Shi was cruel! He was so rich, but he didn't want to give her a fraction of it. This shameless,  ungrateful thing!

When Ye Rong arrived at the task hall, because it was too late, the easy, money-making ones were almost picked.

Ye Rong walked out of the mission hall trembling all over, feeling extremely resentful in her heart.

What were the people in the mission hall doing? How dare they actually recommend her the job of a deboner!

She was a girl! How dare they actually let her do the work of killing chickens and sheep.

That person actually said that Ye Shi once did deboning before. It was because Ye Shi became a deboner that he had become rich now.

Ye Rong gritted her teeth. Because Ye Shi used to working with the chef at home since he was a child, he could endure doing that kind of sleazy job, but Ye Rong couldn't bear it.

"This is the body refining liquid. There are nine bottles in total. You will use one bottle every day for the next nine days. After you finish drinking the body-refining liquid and adjust your body to the best condition, you can take the medicine pill." Mu Chen admonished.

Ye Shi nodded and said solemnly, "Okay, Mu Chen, I'm going to close up for training in two days."

Mu Chen looked at Ye Shi and said in a puzzled way, "Why did you suddenly think of close-up training?"

Ye Shi pouted and said worriedly, "Because I don't want to be too far behind you."

Mu Chen smiled and said, "That's it! Then you have to work hard."

"Mu Chen, if I am too weaker than you, would you despise me?" Ye Shi looked at Mu Chen uneasily and asked.

Mu Chen knocked on Ye Shi's forehead, "What nonsense are you thinking about?"

"I heard that you bought a lot of fifth-level spiritual fruits." Ye Shi blinked.

Mu Chen nodded and said, "Yes! How did you know?"

"Master said it. Are those spirit fruits used for making cakes for Master?" Ye Shi asked.

Mu Chen shook his head regretfully, and said, "Not for your master, but for my master to make wine." Jing Chiyan actually knew that he bought the spirit fruits. It seems that he not only had to make wine for Xiong Wei, but also to prepare a dessert for Jing Chiyan .

 

 

121. Like a Master Shifu, like an apprentice (2)

"It's for your master!" Ye Shi wrinkled his nose in disgust after hearing this.

Mu Chen nodded and said, "Yeah! What's wrong? Did my master mess with you?"

"He's not fair to us! He only focused on us while punishing us. He did not even know that Zhuang Yu was taken out of the quarry by Shi Ziyu. I have already inquired about it. Zhuang Yu  didn't suffer much at all in the quarry. The men over at the quarry were all fascinated by him. Zhuang Yu's tasks were all done for him." Ye Shi said unwillingly.

Ye Shi was full of depression and thought: Back in the quarry, he was not allowed to use talismans to help the labor work, but Zhuang Yu didn't do anything, and Xiong Wei didn't give it much care.

"So that's what it is!" Mu Chen secretly said, "Zhuang Yu really can get along well wherever he goes!"

"There's so much wine outside. You can buy whatever you want. Why do you need to do it yourself?" Ye Shi said with a frown.

Mu Chen nodded and said, "This wine is a bit different. It is called Luoyan wine, and it needs to be catalyzed by strange fire. Only if I do it myself will the effect be good."

Ye Shi said thoughtfully, "So that's the case. This wine must be expensive."

Mu Chen nodded and said, "Yes!" Luoyan wine's ingredients were all five-level spiritual materials, which cost him a lot of money.

"That silly man did not pay you anything for it?" Ye Shi said.

Mu Chen shook his head and said, "No." Even so, Mu Chen thought it was worthwhile doing so. After all, the recipe for Luoyan wine was given by Xiong Wei.

This wine could not only resist the cold, but also help people to cultivate. It was even good for the cultivation of strange fire. It was an invaluable treasure.

It was too early for him to drink this wine now. When he reached the realm of martial spirit, he could drink some.

"This old guy is really way over the line. Remember to add a handful of laxatives to his wine." Ye Shi gritted his teeth.

"Is it necessary?" Mu Chen asked.

"Of course it's necessary. Look how fat he is! Add a handful of laxatives to help him lose weight." Ye Shi gritted his teeth.

Mu Chen: "..."

 

............

"Have you seen your junior brother?" Jing Chiyan looked around, but couldn't find Ye Shi, and asked Xin Ruge.

Xin Ruge shrugged and said, "He has gone for a close-up training. Master Uncle, don't you know?"

Jing Chiyan gritted his teeth for a while. Usually, when he told Ye Shi to practice hard, Ye Shi didn't listen at all. The other day, he casually mentioned that if he did not work hard, Mu Chen would abandon him. In the end, he actually focused on training.

He was curious why Ye Shi bought so many roasted chickens and cakes all at once. It turned out that he was going for a close-up training and stocking up food.

Thinking of this, Jing Chiyan couldn't help feeling angry and amusing.

"Bring so much food to the training. I really don't know whether he went to a close-up training or to raise fat." Jing Chiyan said angrily.

Xin Ruge smiled lightly and said, "Uncle, like a master Shifu, like the apprentice."

"What do you mean?" Jing Chiyan looked at Xin Ruge angrily.

Xin Ruge smiled awkwardly, but did not speak.

"Senior Jing, classmate Mu is here. He said that he came to send cakes to Ye Shi. However, Ye Shi has gone to close-up training." A classmate said.

"Ye Shi has closed up, but I'm still here. I can keep it for him!" Jing Chiyan strode out.

Xin Ruge looked at Jing Chiyan who was leaving excitedly, and raised her eyebrows. Jing Chiyan kept the cakes for Ye Shi, but she thoughts that Ye Shi might not be able to eat it for the rest of his life.

Jing Chiyan came back soon, with a smug smile on his face.

"Mu Chen is good enough." Jing Chiyan was full of admiration. Although he said it was given to Ye Shi, he used all five-level ingredients, suggesting that he made the cake for him. What a pity that he was Xiong Wei's apprentice!

............

Quarry.

Hua Shu looked at the pale Xiong Wei and said, "Brother Xiong, what's wrong with you?!"

Xiong Wei said angrily, "It's family business. I don't want to say it."

"Tell me, I'm not an outsider." Hua Shu smiled lightly.

Xiong Wei glanced at Hua Shu coldly, gritted his teeth and said, "Mu Chen put laxatives in my wine."

"Brother Xiong, how could you not sense that the wine has been given laxatives?" Hua Shu said in a puzzled way.

Xiong Wei laughed dryly and said, "The laxative is not a big problem, but I can't waste the wine can I?"

The wine that Mu Chen brought over was impeccably brewed. Drinking it made one's blood boil. He had a heavy cold poison. This wine had an excellent restraint effect on his cold poison.

The only flaw was the laxative.

"Brother Xiong, you did know that there is a problem with the wine, but you still drunk it. Right?" Hua Shu frowned.

Xiong Wei smiled dryly and said, "You know, I've always been a thrifty person."

Frugal enough to drink the wine that was mixed with laxative. Hua Shu looked at Xiong Wei strangely.

Xiong Wei gritted his teeth. The amount of laxative in the wine was not heavy. If he drank it several times, it would not be a big problem, but he was excited and drank a large jar of wine.

"Have you offended your apprentice?" Hua Shu asked.

Xiong Wei snorted coldly, and said, "It must be Ye Shi's idea. Like his master Jing Chiyan, he has bad ideas all the time."

When Ye Shi was in the quarry before, he threatened to put laxatives in his meals several times, but Mu Chen actually did it.

Poor him! He actually accepted such a pushover person as his apprentice.
