Versatile Mage: The Zhou Family's Young Master Forcefully Marries Mu Ningxue

Chapter 13: Magic Palace, First Meeting with the Chief

"How did you come?"

An ethereal and pleasant voice came from the stairs. Zhou Haoyu looked up and found Mu Ningxue holding the escalator and looking at him.

"I came to see how your cultivation is going. Judging from your aura, you must have successfully broken through." Zhou Haoyu said after looking at Mu Ningxue.

"Well, thanks to your spiritual fruit."

Mu Ningxue was very clear about her cultivation progress. Without the help of the spiritual fruit, she would not have been able to break through to the intermediate level so early.

"There's no need to talk about this between you and me. It's just a spiritual fruit."

As he spoke, Zhou Haoyu patted the seat next to him.

Seeing this, Mu Ningxue sat down next to Zhou Haoyu very naturally.

After spending a month together, she felt that Zhou Haoyu was actually quite good. Although he often touched her, he knew the pros and cons, and he put as much effort into his cultivation as she did.

Moreover, Mu Ningxue had a vague feeling that Zhou Haoyu was far more than he seemed on the surface; his talent might even exceed everyone's expectations!
"My dear nephew, I took a while to make tea, please don't mind."

At this time, Mu Zhuoyun came out from another room carrying a teapot.

The moment he saw Zhou Haoyu hugging Mu Ningxue, the smile on his face suddenly froze.

There was an inexplicable awkwardness in seeing the couple being intimate.

"Uh~" Zhou Haoyu didn't expect Mu Zhuoyun to appear so timely. He was just about to take the next step.

"Ahem, I suddenly remembered that it's better to let the tea cool down for a while. You guys chat first."

After saying that, Mu Zhuoyun closed the door again.

Mu Ningxue, who had been very obedient, immediately took a few steps and distanced herself from Zhou Haoyu.

Looking at the closed door, Zhou Haoyu suddenly felt guilty of abusing the elderly.

"Uncle, I'm actually very thirsty. Let me have some tea first." Zhou Haoyu said.

Mu Zhuoyun opened the door awkwardly, quickly brewed a cup of tea and placed it on the coffee table in front of Zhou Haoyu.

"Ning Xue, have you broken through to the intermediate level?"

After doing all this, Mu Zhuoyun noticed the change in Mu Ningxue's aura. It was obvious that she had successfully entered the intermediate level.

Reaching the middle level at the age of seventeen, he is undoubtedly the top talent, even better than those children from aristocratic families.

Except Zhou Haoyu.

"Ah."

After being caught by her father, Mu Ningxue became noticeably more reserved.

After drinking a few cups of tea, Zhou Haoyu chatted with Mu Zhuoyun about some trivial matters.

"Uncle, Ning Xue, I haven't completed my training mission for today, so I'll take my leave now."

When the tea was about to get cold, Zhou Haoyu took the initiative to resign.

For Zhou Haoyu, the most important thing now is to become Pang Lai's disciple.

"Yes, yes, cultivation is more important, so I won't force you to stay here."

"Ning Xue, please see my nephew off."

"No need, Ning Xue has just broken through, and consolidating her realm is more important."

After leaving the Mu family, Zhou Haoyu took a taxi back to the Zhou family.

After returning to his room, Zhou Haoyu continued to explore the summoning plane. This is the advantage of having strong mental power, which allows him to enter the summoning plane continuously.

He must find a suitable summoned beast as soon as possible to make Pang Lai appreciate his talent.

Only in this way would he have a chance to successfully become a disciple. Three days later, Zhou Haoyu arrived at the gate of the Magic Palace at 7 o'clock on time. There were two guards standing at the gate, whose cultivation was higher than his.

Zhou Haoyu received a message from Jiang Yu in the morning, which roughly meant that Pang Lai was willing to meet him, and the time was agreed to be 7 o'clock in the evening.

"Is Jiang Yu going to stand me up?"

After waiting for twenty-five minutes, Zhou Haoyu finally said impatiently.

Another five minutes later, Jiang Yu finally walked out of the gate.

As soon as Jiang Yu came out, he saw Zhou Haoyu looking at him unkindly. "Sorry, sorry, the teacher was delayed for half an hour because of a meeting."

"What about you? You didn't send me a message and made me wait here for half an hour!" Zhou Haoyu said resentfully.

"Uh."

Jiang Yu didn't know how to explain it for a moment. He couldn't just say that the teacher didn't allow him to send messages.

The teacher’s explanation was that if someone was not willing to wait for half an hour, it meant that the matter was not that important to him.

Jiang Yu didn't intend to tell Zhou Haoyu this, as he was worried that Zhou Haoyu would get angry.

"The teacher is waiting for you in the conference room right now. I need to remind you that he is usually quite strict. If you accidentally offend him, then there will be no need to discuss what is going on."

Jiang Yu changed the subject. He was actually quite curious about whether Zhou Haoyu could convince the teacher.

Needless to say, Zhou Haoyu's talent is the most outstanding genius he has ever seen, and his major in magic is the extremely rare space system.

However, no matter how outstanding the space system is, it is still just the space system and has little to do with the summoning system, so he still feels that the probability of success is very slim.

"Let's go." Zhou Haoyu looked calm and composed, and even urged.

Under Jiang Yu's guidance, Zhou Haoyu witnessed the luxury of this magic palace for the first time. The splendor was just on the surface.

Looking around, there are murals and statues related to magic everywhere, and many historical magic items are exhibited in the corridor on the first floor.

Soon, the two entered a conference room.

All the lights in the house come from a spherical magic object. This magic object can release a light-like effect, and the light is not too strong, just the same as daylight.

The conference room was empty, with only an extra-long conference table.

At the end of the long table sat an old man with white hair and beard. Although his face was old, his body was very strong.

Most importantly, there is a big shiny treasure chest above your head.

[Unlocking conditions: Become a disciple!]

"Hello, Chief." Zhou Haoyu bowed modestly.

"At such a young age, he possesses such terrifying mental power. He truly deserves to be a genius who awakened the Space and Lightning Element at the initial stage."

The moment Pang Lai saw Zhou Haoyu, his pupils trembled noticeably, but he quickly calmed down.

With the Zhou family's ability, it is not difficult to get a small piece of mind stone.

"Thank you for the compliment, Chief. I just have more resources than others." Zhou Haoyu said calmly.

"Tell me, what do you want from me?"

Pang Lai didn't want to waste too much time on Zhou Haoyu. He had seen many geniuses, but most of them either died young or gradually became mediocre.

No matter how good your talent is, it will only be useful if it is developed.

"I want to become your disciple and learn the knowledge of summoning from you." Zhou Haoyu said seriously with his hands clasped.

Pang Lai was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Jiang Yu and said calmly, "As an old man, I only need one disciple. I simply don't have the energy or time for two."

"It won't be too late to consider it after the Chief meets my summoned beast."
