I Fabricated the Techniques, but my disciple really mastered them?

"It's the Princess!"

Someone whispered in the crowd.

Princess Xiang Wei of Great Zhou es!

The dream girl of countless Great Zhou's gifted youths. Numerous talented young men tried their best to win her favor, exhausting their talents, working hard, and finding every possible way to accomplish the meritorious deeds.

However, the Princess suddenly decided not to get married.

There was even a rumor once circulated that the Princess had a butler.

This made countless young talents envious, secretly resenting why they themselves weren't her butler?!

Of course, some rumors about Princess's romantic affairs did not last long and were soon prohibited. Even about the existence of this butler became unknown.

Who this butler was, no one knew.

In contrast, there was a rumor from a Duke's Mansion that the Princess already had someone in her heart, and had secretly pledged her love to this person.

However, nothing came of these rumors, and they soon faded away.

Xiang Wei came to see off. In the capital, she had built a relationship with Su Lingxiu, a fairy dan doctor, on behalf of Xiang Family.

Shi'er guided Xiang Wei into Chang Qing Pavilion, where Su Lingxiu, Zi Yun, and Yue'er were already waiting.

Su Lingxiu still had a good impression of Xiang Wei. When they were sightseeing around the capital, they had traveled together. Xiang Wei gave her the feeling of a big sister.

At the entrance of Chang Qing Pavilion's consultation place, Meng Shushu had taken over and continued to receive patients in place of Shi'er.

"Today is the last day, and Chang Qing Pavilion will leave tomorrow."

Meng Shushu spoke up.

"Fast! Fast! This is the last day, and my old wound is not healed yet."

"The person in front, hurry up."

"Hey, this brother, I see you are withered, even if you go to Chang Qing Pavilion, there's probably no hope for you, right? Don't occupy a spot then?"

"Yes, you going will just waste the consultation time? The time spent on diagnosing you is enough to treat several people."

In the queuing crowd, someone looked at a man in line and muttered.

A man in the crowd, decrepit and almost incurable, was quietly standing in line.

Mu Qianliu was indifferent to the surrounding noise, he looked at the front, there were still a dozen people, and then it would be his turn. He did not come for medical treatment, but to see Xiang Wei.

Originally, he planned to go to the Inner Domain, but the Gate of Lingyu refused to open, unless there was an order from the Transcendent Spirit Sect, so he had to find Xiang Wei.

For Mu Qianliu, he didn't want to meet his lover in this manner, but he had no choice but to brace himself for it.

The method he used to refine the Heavenly Earth Lingji was obtained from Xiang Wei.

"Did she see the letter?"

Mu Qianliu wondered, if Xiang Wei had read his letter, she shouldn't have been so calm and still have the mood to visit the Chang Qing Pavilion.

"I hope no one else knows me except her."

Mu Qianliu thought silently.

He dared not mention the Ice State matter to Xiang Wei, fearing that Xiang Wei would want to take revenge for him and get caught in the Ice State.

That weird woman was too terrifying.

Even if he were to die, he wouldn't dare die in Lingyu but would rather die in the Inner Domain and take one last look at that gentle woman without bothering her to avoid bringing disaster.

Finally, it was Mu Qianliu's turn.

He looked up, ready to let someone inform Xiang Wei that an old friend was visiting, but to his shock, he found that the person treating him was — Meng Shushu!

He rubbed his eyes, fearing that his own illusion or simply a resemblance, only to find out that it really was Meng Shushu.

"Meng Shushu?"

Mu Qianliu was excited but also incredulous.

He was not aware of the opening of the Gate of Lingyu, so he was so shocked when he saw Meng Shushu in Lingyu. And if Meng Shushu was in Lingyu, wouldn't that mean that the gentle woman was also there?

Meng Shushu was in the process of a consultation, suddenly heard someone calling him. Also, the voice seemed a bit familiar, so he raised his head in surprise.

Standing before him was a man who was withered, with hollowed-out cheeks, dull hair, sunken eye sockets, like a man who had been sucked dry and was nearly like a dried corpse.

Such injuries had harmed the source, or even the source already dried up.

It was even more serious than the injury Moon Changming had before. The weirdest thing was that for some unknown reason, Meng Shushu always felt that this man was like someone who had indulged excessively in carnal pleasures and had become completely hollowed out.

"Who are you?"

He was a little puzzled. Who was this man?

He didn't recognize him.

And this man seemed very excited, which made him wonder even more. After a close look, he saw the faintly familiar outline.

"It's me, Shushu, is Wan'er here? How did you guys get to Lingyu?"

Mu Qianliu's voice trembled as he asked.

Meng Shushu's face suddenly turned pale, his eyes widened, and he had an incredulous look on his face.

He couldn't reconcile this man with the handsome, elegant man from before.

The gap was too vast.

However, the man standing in front of him was indeed the Mu Qianliu of the past!

In an instant, Meng Shushu exploded in fury. He grabbed Mu Qianliu and dragged him outside Chang Qing Pavilion, using the formation from the Pavilion to conceal them both.

"Mu Qianliu, you have the nerve to come here?"

Mu Qianliu opened his mouth, but before he could defend himself, Meng Shushu furiously interjected: "I, Meng Shushu, treated you with such respect, Sister Su admired you, loved you. You said you had an urgent matter and left without returning.

"Turns out, everything you said was lies, you deceived Sister Su's feelings."

"In the Ling Domain, you have so many lovers everywhere, you are renowned as a womanizer of the Mu family, aren't you?

"What happened to you now? You just destroyed yourself. Serves you right!"

The more Meng Shushu thought about it, the angrier he got, and he began to berate Mu Qianliu.

Mu Qianliu remained silent. When Meng Shushu had finished cursing, he painfully admitted, "Yes, I hid the fact that I had many lovers, but there's one thing I didn't lie about.

"Wan'er was indeed the one I liked best!"

"You have the audacity to say that? Mu Qianliu, you're talking nonsense!"

Meng Shushu was livid.

He railed against Mu Qianliu again, unleashing the anger that had been building inside him.

"How is Wan'er?"

Mu Qianliu asked after Meng Shushu had finished venting.

Meng Shushu fell silent, and after a long while, he replied, "Sister Su has already passed away!"

Mu Qianliu swayed, grabbing Meng Shushu's arms and asked, "How did this happen? How could Wan'er have died?"

Meng Shushu gritted his teeth, "After giving birth to Lingxiu, Sister Su's body was severely depleted and she became more and more frail, and eventually passed away from illness!"

"What about the spiritual medicine I gave? The spiritual medicine?"

Mu Qianliu asked in anger.

"It was all used up, otherwise, Lingxiu wouldn't have been born."

Mu Qianliu fell silent, his sunken eyes empty of tears.

"What about the old man?"

"He's dead! Murdered!"

"What happened?"

Mu Qianliu was stunned.

"It was done by people from Yinlou Pavilion, Lingxiu has taken her revenge."

Meng Shushu briefly explained the incident.

Mu Qianliu's eyes suddenly flared with anger, and he roared through gritted teeth, "Tang Jinyan!"

"What did you say?"

Meng Shushu was taken aback.

"Where is Lingxiu?"

Mu Qianliu suppressed his anger and asked with a shaking voice.

"You don't need to worry, Lingxiu has her loving master and senior brothers. She's the renowned Fairy healer in the Ling Domain and lives a good life. However, your appearance makes me conflicted."

Meng Shushu's expressions were mixed.

Should I tell Lingxiu that this is her biological father?

Would Lingxiu's life still be as carefree?

"As long as she's living well... living well... A damned man like me will not disturb her."

Mu Qianliu nodded in agreement.

Then, with trembling hands, he took out a pale blue plaque from his chest and handed it to Meng Shushu, saying, "This is the most precious thing in my life. I had to leave the Inner Domain in a hurry because of it.

"Find an excuse to give it to Lingxiu."

"Remember, this holds some unknown secrets. Don't attempt to explore them on your own. When the time is right, it will give you a hint.

"Also, remember, do not go to Ice State. Never go to Ice State. It's a place of extreme danger.

"Ice State now is not what it used to be, remember!"

Mu Qianliu spoke solemnly.

Meng Shushu initially didn't want to take the blue plaque, but seeing Mu Qianliu in this state and his current pain, he ended up accepting it.

After Mu Qianliu finished, he prepared to leave. However, he turned back and said seriously: "Shushu, remember not to mention me to anyone. Pretend that this never happened, that you've never seen me.

"Remember, no matter what, never mention me and don't let anyone know that you've seen me and that you know me!"

Meng Shushu was bewildered. With Mu Qianliu being so stern, what could possibly have happened to him, causing him such fear?
