Chapter 119: What did it Mean?
Mu Liufeng’s appearance was one that was very sudden. He had just silently appeared by Ling Chuxi’s side out of nowhere seemingly. No one outside the house had noticed his presence. Even the people within the house hadn’t noticed. What kind of shocking level had Mu Liufeng’s cultivation reached?
“It’s just my master, Aunty Xia. There’s no need to worry,” said Ling Chuxi to comfort Xia Rulin. True enough, Xia Rulin managed to calm down after hearing Ling Chuxi’s words.
“What are you doing here, master? You’re such a stalker!” barked Ling Chuxi without care for being courteous.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk. Your technique earlier really shocked me. Under this sky, I’m afraid there is no second person with such a technique. If it were anyone else administering such treatment, I’m afraid they would have blinded the patient.” Mu Liufeng didn’t have any intention of answering Ling Chuxi’s question, instead he rather excitedly touched his hand to his chin and looked intently at Ling Chuxi. “Now, I’m truly curious as to who you really are.”
“Take a guess, why don’t you?” taunted Ling Chuxi with a smile and a raised brow. “However, even if you manage to guess right, there’s no prize to be won.”
“No prize? Forget it then. I’m not going to guess. But I must say, your technique earlier on was really not too bad at all,” remarked Mu Liufeng as he squinted at Ling Chuxi’s gold needles.
“Would you like to try it out then? If you’re ever poisoned or wounded one day, let me poke needles into you until you become a porcupine. Since you are my master, I’ll charge you half price,” retorted Ling Chuxi as she rolled her eyes at Mu Liufeng.
“Oh, I see. Well, that would require a person to actually be able to harm me first then,” said Mu Liufeng in a regretful tone. “I’d genuinely like to try, but it looks as though there is no opportunity for me to do so.”
His words didn’t contain any hint of narcissism or manner of joking. It was colored by absolute confidence and dominance.
“All right then. Do complete the face mask for me as soon as possible.” Mu Liufeng didn’t forget to chase for his face mask once more. To him, this was the truly important matter. Once he was done speaking, an afterimage flashed past Ling Chuxi and Mu Liufeng was gone just like that.
Mu Liufeng’s coming and going wasn’t noticed by anyone outside the house. Xia Rulin was very astonished. Who exactly was this person with such strong cultivation?
Once Xia Rulin’s eyes were cured, no two people were happier than Xia Zhuoyi and Zhong Xingkai.
“Miss Ling Chuxi, we are really too grateful to you. If you have any matters you need assistance with, please feel free to instruct us to do so,” said Zhong Xingkai excitedly with a flushed face.
“That isn’t necessary,” replied Ling Chuxi with a smile. “I’ve already received a gift from all of you.”
“Huh?” said Zhong Xingkai as he scratched his head, puzzled.
Ling Chuxi merely smiled gently and said no more. The pill formula for the Tian Luo Pill was a world-class treasure! What did it mean to be able to refine an endless amount of Tian Luo Pills? It meant riches, status and power. It meant having everything at your fingertips! Ling Chuxi would be the party all kinds of forces would do anything to win over.
However, fortune and misfortune were intertwined! If people knew she could refine Tian Luo Pills, how many of them would stupidly cause trouble? If they couldn’t win her over, then they would find ways to keep her captive or even get rid of her. Therefore, Ling Chuxi did not intend to let this secret leak out.

The semester began at White Stone Academy after the experiential training competition ended. Lessons were officially in session at the academy. After school each day, there were usually two topics that caused great discussion amongst the students. One was the terrible defeat of the academy’s peerless genius, Lan Xinyu. The second was that the unruly, impolite fifth princess had transferred over to the academy.
Meanwhile, Ling Yichen’s senior brother, the ninth prince, had secretly rushed over to White Stone City.
On the first day of school, everything went smoothly. The teachers taught with solemnity and the students absorbed their lessons with the same fortitude. Ling Chuxi, Ling Yichen, Xia Zhuoyi and the fifth princess were all placed in the same class. The fifth princess nodded off during class, but no one dared to wake her. Only Ling Chuxi dared to do so with a pinch without even a change in her expression.
After school, Ling Chuxi suggested they all enjoy a good meal and the rest of the group went along with her suggestion as they didn’t have much of an opinion on the matter. It was just that, they never thought going out for a meal would equate to seeking out trouble as well.
