Chapter 70: Birthday Banquet (7)
Mu Su gave a generous offer because he was well aware that even without the spirit root, the Xuan Ling Clan would still be forced to accept you Qingtang, given His Majesty's personality.
As soon as Mu Su suggested that, people were confused again.
What happened to His Majesty?
Why was he so friendly towards Ye Qingtang?
Not only did he come all the way here to meet her, he even agreed to her almost unreasonable request. Now, he even offered to escort her personally just to check on her spirit root!
Everyone knew Mu Su's honorable status and many of his acquaintances were certainly not ordinary people.
At this moment, many green-eyed gazes landed on Ye Qingtang, especially from the young people among the guests who were about to kill to fill his shoes.
Just being able to obtain Mu Su's reference alone was already a boon.
The Great Elder's face was overcast. He never expected Ye Qingtang to change his life.
And Ye Xun, who was already shocked to see Ye Qingtang's new spirit root, became extremely shocked when Mu Su agreed to his referral request as well. Now, an uncomfortable feeling surfaced in his stomach as he instinctively turned to face Duan Tianrao who was standing beside him.
What he saw were knitted brows and his blazing eyes, glued to Ye Qingtang among the crowd.
“Duan Lang ..”
While in a daze, Duan Tianrao turned his gaze towards the nervous Ye Xun, and he asked with a frown: "Xun-er, aren't you claiming that Ye Qingtang's spirit root has been destroyed?"
Ye Xun shrugged stiffly, “That's right…. But I don't know how he can grow it again..”.
Duan Tianrao had originally insisted on canceling his engagement to Ye Qingtang due to rumors of his terrifying appearance and the loss of his spirit root that would hinder future progress in his cultivation.
Yet….
All the rumors were lies before his eyes.
Ye Qingtang was not at all terrible. Instead, she was a beauty queen and somehow she gained a new spirit root in place of her broken roots.
It was at this moment that Duan Tianrao began to hate Ye Xun, because it was he who seemed to have tricked him into believing the rumors.
“Duan Lang ..” Ye Xun could only utter his name nervously again when his displeasure became apparent.
But Duan Tanrao turned his back on him and left his side without a word. Even though he remained in the hall, it was clear he didn't want to hang out with her anymore.
Ye Xun became worried.
On the other hand, Ye Qingtang pondered Mu Su's offer. Since the reappearance of the spirit root was a mystery he had never encountered, he would receive any advice from anyone who might have some knowledge in this field.
Yet….
A subtle glint could be seen from his eyes. He hasn't gotten a show on the road, staying behind is inevitable.
“Thank you very much for your good support and consideration, My Lord. But as a hostess, it is my duty to serve our other guests for the night. So, may I suggest going at a later time? That's of course, if you don't mind? ” Ye Qingtang asked politely.
Mu Su would never make things difficult for her. Just getting his acceptance was enough to meet his goal.
