Your Highness, please stop chasing me.

He glanced at Mu Xue in shock, then his gaze hardened without a moment's hesitation.

He solemnly said, "Master, my surname is Mu, the Mu of Mu Xue."

Although they hadn't known each other for long, he had seen through Mu Xue's character.

She was the master he remembered and followed throughout his life!

......

Because she failed to purchase the fire dragon grass, Wang Xin'er was sullen when the goods arrived at the Wang family's house.

Wang Baiqi, the head of the Wang family and Wang Xin'er's father, has already received the news and is waiting in the hall.

As soon as Wang Xin'er stepped into the hall, she saw her father sitting there. She pouted, tears welling up in her eyes, and said, "Dad, I..."

"Xin'er, it's alright, Dad will think of something." He didn't know how to comfort his heartbroken daughter.

They have a very good relationship as siblings.

Hearing her father's words, Wang Xin'er's eyes lit up: "Dad, do you know who took the picture?"

“Not many people can get into the private rooms on the third floor. Only three families received invitations this time. It will take some effort, but we can find out. Dad will figure something out,” Wang Baiqi said.

Actually, he wasn't sure if he could find it.

But for the sake of her son, she had to try and see.

Hearing that there was hope, Wang Xin'er said, "Then I'll go see my brother."

"Go ahead, and go back to your room to rest after you're done watching." Wang Baiqi watched Wang Xin'er's figure disappear through the archway, then he sighed and turned to walk towards his study.

As soon as he stepped into the study, he sensed an unfamiliar presence.

There's someone in the room!

He hesitated for a moment, and in that instant, the person inside the room spoke up: "Master Wang, do not panic. I have no ill intentions. I am only here on my master's orders to deliver a life-saving pill to your young master."

Upon hearing the word "elixir," even Wang Baiqi, who was used to seeing all kinds of things, was extremely surprised.

Are these pills now readily available on the streets?

The person who arrived was none other than Mu Hu.

"Why should I believe you?" Wang Baiqi looked at the newcomer. He was not masked, but his arrogant demeanor made Wang Baiqi think highly of him.

"Whether Patriarch Wang believes it or not, this is something my master gave you to temporarily suppress the poison in Young Master Wang's body. We can talk about it later." Mu Hu took out the familiar white porcelain bottle from his bosom.

Wang Baiqi took the porcelain bottle and opened it only a crack. A rich medicinal fragrance wafted out, and he was astonished. This really was a medicinal pill!

He covered his face with the lid, his eyes darting around. After a moment's hesitation, he asked, "May I ask who your master is? What does he want me to do by giving me such a precious elixir?"

Mu Hu thought to himself: This Wang family patriarch is quick-witted.

"My master greatly admires the Wang family's business acumen and hopes to have the opportunity to cooperate." Mu Hu didn't mince words and directly stated his purpose.

"What? Does your master want my Wang family's business?" Wang Baiqi stared wide-eyed in shock.

The Wang family is widely recognized as the richest family in the vicinity of Yunan City. To want their entire fortune is quite an appetite.

"Patriarch Wang, you misunderstand. My master has said that it is possible. As for whether or not to cooperate, it is entirely up to your decision," Mu Hu said casually.

Wang Baiqi couldn't help but curse inwardly: What other decision could I possibly have?

With their only son's life still in someone else's hands, the entire family fortune is meaningless without an heir.

Thinking of his son lying in bed, growing thinner and thinner each day until he was unrecognizable, Wang Baiqi gritted his teeth and said, "I am willing to give up all my family property as long as it can save my son."

Mu Hu never expected that Wang Baiqi would actually give up such a large family business for Wang Xuanze.

He put aside his disdain and seriously examined Wang Baiqi. He was a business prodigy who had built such a large business from scratch. His intelligence, strategy, and shrewdness were all indispensable.

Now, however, she is willing to give up everything for her son, which shows her true nature.

He said, "Patriarch Wang, you misunderstand. My master truly doesn't want your family business; it's just a cooperation."

"Is it really just a collaboration?" Wang Baiqi asked incredulously.

"Really," Mu Hu confirmed again.

Mu Hu didn't know what kind of story his master had with Wang Xuanze, but he could tell that Mu Xue cared a lot about Wang Xuanze.

Because he hadn't been Mu Xue's personal protector before, Mu Hu didn't know how Mu Xue was bullied when she was chasing after Mo Shijie outside, and therefore didn't know that Wang Xuanze was the only person who had helped her over the years, more than once.

The original owner had no chance to repay these kindnesses, but Mu Xue was a person who clearly distinguished between love and hate, and she would repay those who were good to her a hundredfold.

Wang Xuanze was poisoned by the Blackfin Snake. All that's needed is to refine a sixth-grade Hundred Poison Pill and add a medicinal guide. The only difficult part is the medicinal guide, the Blackfin Snake's gallbladder.

If it's a regular blacktip reef snake, you can try your luck and catch it, but if it's a king blacktip reef snake, it's much more difficult.

With Mu Xue's current skills, if she sends one, they'll die; if she sends two, they'll both die.

Mu Xue explained all of this to Mu Hu, and Mu Hu relayed it to Wang Baiqi.

Hearing that they needed the gallbladder of a blackfin serpent, he sighed. He wanted to help, but his fighting skills wouldn't allow it!

He hesitated for a moment before saying, "To be honest, the guards of our Wang family are not very strong in combat, otherwise Ze'er wouldn't have been poisoned."

Mu Hu raised an eyebrow. So, it was the young master of the Wang family who protected the guards and helped them escape from the Cangmang Mountains.

Seeing Mu Hu's expression, Wang Baiqi smiled awkwardly. The Wang family may be rich, but sometimes you also need power!

Therefore, in recent years, due to the constant underhanded actions of the Prince Jing's heir and his confidant Chen Li, the Wang family has also suffered considerable impact.

No one can say for sure whether this incident was caused by human intervention or an accident.

Mu Hu was speechless. He looked at Wang Baiqi and said, "Does Patriarch Wang think about getting something for nothing? You should know that you can only encounter the Blackfin Serpent if you go deep into the Cangmang Mountains. I don't need to say more about how dangerous it is."

Wang Baiqi gritted his teeth, seemingly having made a great decision.

He resolutely said, "As long as your master can save Ze'er, I am willing to acknowledge him as my master and offer half of my family business."

Mu Hu silently gave Mu Xue a big thumbs up. This was exactly what her master had said! Her master was simply amazing!

"Alright! Since Patriarch Wang is so sincere, let's wait for good news in five days," Mu Hu said with a smile.

Wang Baiqi: Why do I feel like I've been tricked?

“Five days? But I’m afraid my son…” Wang Baiqi said with difficulty. The Grand Elder of the Immortal Medicine Valley had said that Wang Xuanze only had three days left.

Mu Hu pursed his lips and gestured to Wang Baiqi to look at the bottle in his hand: "Has Patriarch Wang forgotten that you still have the pills my master gave you?"

Oh right, there are also some pills, Wang Baiqi realized.

"There are six pills in total, enough to keep Young Master Wang safe for six days." After saying this, Mu Hu got up to take his leave.

"Wait, um, this gentleman hasn't told me who your master is yet?" Wang Baiqi asked anxiously.

"My mistress is the fifth young lady of the Mu family, Mu Xue." After Mu Hu finished speaking, he leaped onto the roof and disappeared in an instant.

"It's her!" Wang Baiqi exclaimed, his eyes widening in surprise.

He didn't believe that the reason Mu Xue could be ordered around by someone with such high combat skills was simply because she was General Mu's daughter.

With this pill, even the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion in the capital could probably produce one. Thinking of this, he smiled smugly. It seems that some people are going to be in trouble now.
