Chapter 1222: Young Master Mu

Inside the box was a fist-sized luminous pearl. Its radiance was dazzling to the eyes. Countless people looked at the treasure in Young Master Mu’s hand in amazement.

“It’s a Star Pearl,” someone exclaimed.

“A Star Pearl. This treasure disappeared in Butterfly City more than 10 years ago. I didn’t expect it to appear in Young Master Mu’s hands now.”

“The Star Pearl is rumored to be very useful for cultivation. I don’t know if it’s true.”

Everyone discussed animatedly.

Those who did not know what the Star Pearl was also took a deep breath after hearing the explanations from the people around them.

The treasure that mysteriously disappeared more than 10 years ago had a very good effect on cultivation. These voices indicated that the Star Pearl was extraordinary.

“This is a priceless treasure. Instead of treasuring it, why is the Mu family taking it out?”

“Aren’t they afraid that someone might scheme against them?”

Ni Yinghong also glanced at the Star Pearl curiously. The function of this thing was unknown but from its appearance, it looked extraordinary.

She lowered her eyes slightly and asked, “Young Master Mu, what do you mean by this?”

Young Master Mu said sincerely, “The Mu family wants to invite you to become our chief blacksmith, Master Ni. This Star Pearl can be considered as a small token of our appreciation.”

When he said this, everyone was in an uproar.

Everyone could not believe their ears. The Mu family was a top family in Butterfly City. Hiring a blacksmith was still very easy. There was no need to pay such a huge price.

Star Pearls were a sensation more than 10 years ago. If this was auctioned off, it might be worth the entire assets of a large family.

The Mu family’s heroism shocked countless people.

Everyone looked at Master Ni and guessed what she would choose.

“If I were Master Ni, I’d immediately agree. The Mu family is too sincere. They even gave away a priceless treasure like the Star Pearl.”

Everyone looked at Ni Yinghong enviously. If she became the Mu family’s chief blacksmith, she would also become a noble in Butterfly City. Moreover, she would gain a treasure like the Star Pearl. This was a sure-win deal.

Ni Yinghong glanced at the glittering pearl. Just as he was about to speak, a strange voice came from below.

“What’s that broken pearl? It can’t compare to my treasure.”

Everyone turned their heads and saw a young fellow of about 17 or 18 years old squeezing out from the crowd. He looked at the priceless Star Pearl and said with disdain.

“Who is he?” Everyone looked at the young man with a strange look.

“Wow, that young fella’s too arrogant. He doesn’t want to live anymore…”

The 2-meter-tall man who had just communicated with Ou Yangming looked dumbfoundedly at the young fellow who pushed him away.

Countless gazes gathered on Ou Yangming. These gazes were complicated. There was shock and sympathy as if they were looking at a retard.

What kind of treasure was the Star Pearl? It was said to be worthless by this little br*t. He even said that it was not as precious as his treasure.

Regardless of whether he really had a treasure or not, if he stood out at this time, he would surely offend the Mu family. Going against the Mu family in Butterfly City was not a wise choice.

Ni Yinghong’s body trembled slightly. This voice was extremely familiar to her. She would never forget it for the rest of her life.

She turned around and saw an expression that was not a smile.

‘He’s back…’

Ni Yinghong’s heart almost jumped out. She wanted to pounce on Ou Yangming but was stopped by his gaze.

The two of them shared the same thought, and they quickly guessed each other’s thoughts.

Ni Yinghong suppressed the excitement in her heart, and her face returned to normal. Despite that, there was an additional tenderness in her indifferent eyes that was difficult to hide.

A ruthless look flashed across Young Master Mu’s eyes. In just a moment, he had concealed it. Ou Yangming, who had noticed this, snorted coldly in his heart.

Ou Yangming did not want to watch his wife being abducted from below. Young Master Mu obviously had other intentions. It was just that ordinary people would not be able to tell.

Ni Yinghong’s mind was simple. Ou Yangming did not want her to be deceived by others.

“Brother, happy to meet you.” Young Master Mu suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and said to Ou Yangming with a smile.

“Young Master Mu’s magnanimous indeed. He was provoked but still did not retaliate. He’s simply a role model for our generation.”

Many of the onlookers clicked their tongues in admiration. It could be seen that the image of Young Master Mu disguised on the outside had been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Ou Yangming, however, did not stand on ceremony. He raised his head and raised his eyelids slightly. “How happy are you?”

“Uh…” Young Master Mu was stunned. He had thought that the other party had thousands of ways to respond, but he had not expected such an answer.

How happy was he?

This question was really not easy to answer. The main reason was that he did not feel the slightest bit of happiness at the moment. On the contrary, he wished that he could immediately get someone to secretly take action and break the troublemaker’s legs.

“Of course, I’m very, very happy…” Young Master Mu forced a laugh. Then, he changed his tone and asked, “Just now, you said that my Star Pearl is a broken pearl and that you have an even more precious item. Why don’t you take it out and let everyone see it?”

“Why should I show it to you?” Ou Yangming asked in return.

Young Master Mu’s heart was boiling with anger. The gentlemanly demeanor that he had maintained for such a long time almost collapsed. There was a hint of coldness in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice, “If you can take out a treasure and prove that it’s better than my Star Pearl, your words just now will be ignored, brother. If you can’t prove it, you’re taking the initiative to provoke me. If that’s the case, don’t blame the Mu family for not being polite.”

His voice gradually turned cold. Young Master Mu removed part of his disguise. He was angered by the rascal.

“That fella has offended Young Master Mu,” the onlookers below said.

“Young Master Mu has been very tolerant. His priceless treasure was said to be a broken pearl by that fella. Besides, that fella came out to cause trouble when Young Master Mu invited Master Ni. If I were Young Master Mu, I’d have long been unable to resist teaching him a lesson.”

The 2-meter-tall brawny man who was next to Ou Yangming just now cheerfully said to the surrounding people, “That rascal was just by my side just now. He’s just jealous of Young Master Mu’s handsome appearance and strength.”

“Jealous?” Everyone was speechless. Although it was normal for people to be jealous of Young Master Mu, they could not be so jealous that they did not even want their lives.

When everyone looked at Ou Yangming again, there was a little more sympathy.

Ou Yangming’s eyes were filled with embarrassment as if he was calmly thinking about something.

This made the people around him think in shock, ‘Could it be that he really has a treasure?’

‘Even if he has a treasure, it can’t be compared to Young Master Mu’s Star Pearl. That fella will definitely be unlucky.’

After a moment.

Ou Yangming seemed to have made an important decision. He said in a deep voice, “In that case, I’ll take out my treasure, and I’ll let Master Ni judge which of our treasures has the higher value.”

“Okay!” A cold light flashed in Young Master Mu’s eyes. He really wanted to see what the young fellow could take out.

“Master Ni, please judge,” Young Master Mu asked.

Ni Yinghong lowered her eyes and said, “Yes.”

Young Master Mu turned his head and looked at Ou Yangming. “Master Ni has agreed. Hurry up and take out your item.”

Everyone was also focused on Ou Yangming. They wanted to know what kind of item this young fellow would take out to compare with Young Master Mu.

“Could it be a Good Grade magic tool?” Someone guessed.

“I’m afraid a Good Grade magic tool won’t do. Even a magic tool of Good Grade Rank Five can’t compare to the Star Pearl. Unless it’s a High Grade magic tool.”

While everyone was still guessing what Ou Yangming would take out, he took out something that no one had expected.

“Candied haws? A stick of candied haws?” Everyone carefully confirmed that the thing that the young man took out was undoubtedly candied haws. A part of the crisp sugar on it had melted.

“Is that it?” Someone said in disbelief.

To compare a treasure like a stick of candied haws with a Star Pearl, how big of a brain would one have to be to come up with such a thing?

“Crazy, that guy must be crazy!”

Young Master Mu originally thought that the other party would take out some treasure. No matter how bad it would be, it would at least be a Good Grade magic tool. He did not expect that the other party would take out candied haws. ‘Isn’t this junk food that only common folks eat?’

“You’re joking with me!” Young Master Mu clenched his fists. His body was trembling from anger. No matter how good his self-restraint was, it had been destroyed by the candied haws.

Ou Yangming laughed. “Young Master Mu, what kind of joke is this? I’m serious. Look, what’s the use of that pearl of yours? It can only emit light and not be eaten. This treasure of mine is different. Not only can it be eaten, but it’s also delicious. Besides, I have 7 beads here while you only have one pearl. Since it’s 7 to 1, I win!”

“B*stard, you’re courting death!” Young Master Mu was furious. How could he not see that this young man was simply spouting nonsense?

Since when food became treasure?

“Don’t be agitated. Neither of us has the final say. It’s Master Ni who will judge which of our treasures if more previous.” Ou Yangming looked at Young Master Mu, who was trembling with anger, and said indifferently.

Speaking of Master Ni, Young Master Mu suppressed the fire in his heart and looked at Ni Yinghong. “Please judge, Master Ni.”

“Is there a need to judge? How much is a stick of candied haws? If the Star Pearl is exchanged for candied haws, the people in Butterfly City would probably not be able to finish them in 100 years.”

Everyone’s gaze turned to Ni Yinghong, waiting for her decision. After Master Ni’s judgment, this young fellow would be done for. The Mu family would not let him off.

It was a pity that no one knew what Ni Yinghong was thinking at this moment. How could a stranger’s item compare to Ou Yangming’s?

Even if it was just a piece of candied haw, the meaning in it was something that could not be exchanged for even 10,000 gold coins.

NI Yinghong’s gaze stopped on the candied haws. She smiled with a hint of charm and said, “I think this is more precious.”
