Chapter 60 - The Young Master's Verdict
Yu Mingye grabbed the hands of the head of the elders, his eyes wide open. “We were all set up by Feng Xiaowu. Feng Xun was furious, and I had such a tantrum, but Jun Linyuan didn’t even frown! Wasn’t that strange?!”
The head of the elders gave his young master a knowing look and vented his sarcasm inwardly. So, the young master was aware of his tantrum.
“Hey, answer me!” Yu Mingye was vexed when he saw the mind of the head of the elders wander off.
The elder replied, “Yes.”
Yu Mingye was satisfied. He went back to rubbing his chin, and resumed talking. “Let’s analyze why Jun Linyuan wasn’t angry. The first explanation is that he’s so emotionless that nothing in this world can disturb him. But, that’s not it.”
The three elders turned to look at their young master in unison, then exchanged awkward looks. Since when did their young master think with his head?
Looking into the distance, Yu Mingye narrowed his eyes and shook his head earnestly. “No, that’s not it. If Jun Linyuan really was as indifferent and ascetic as Buddha, why would he travel thousands of miles to the northern border of the country for an Immortal Spiritual Fruit? It must be very important to him!”
Yu Mingye darted a look at the elders as he spoke.
The three elders nodded repeatedly at him.
Yu Mingye was satisfied with that reaction. Still rubbing his chin, he analyzed, “What was more, the ugly girl used such shameless tricks to steal the juice and even took Jun Linyuan’s first kiss during the process! Given what a neat freak Jun Linyuan is, shouldn’t he just smash that girl into a pulp on the spot? But he didn’t do that! Plus, who is Jun Linyuan? The crown prince that has never been defeated! But, he wasn’t angry! Don’t tell me you don’t find that strange?!”
“So, Young Master, what’s your verdict?” All three pairs of eyes were on Yu Mingye.
Raising his chin, Yu Mingye snorted. “My verdict is that Jun Linyuan likes that ugly girl!”
The head of the elders shuddered. “Young Master, please don’t make fun of us. Have you forgotten who Jun Linyuan is? He’s the exceptionally talented crown prince, whose power is limitless. Would he fall in love with that… ugly girl? He’s not blind.”
Glaring at the elder, Yu Mingye clenched his fists and tried to refute, but all words failed him.
“Just find her!” Yu Mingye waved his hand impatiently.
“But Young Master, Frozen Forest is so vast. How are we supposed to do that?”
“Just follow Jun Linyuan!” Yu Mingye snapped. “Isn’t he supposed to be so brilliant? Follow him and you’ll find her!”
At the same time.
After kicking Yu Mingye away, Feng Wu sank to the bottom of the river immediately and let an undercurrent take her all the way downstream.
Feng Wu knew perfectly well that Jun Linyuan and Yu Mingye would do everything in their power to search for her. Hence, she didn’t dare dally, but kept moving downstream as she held onto a piece of driftwood.
She went ashore where the river divided into three.
“My Immortal Spiritual Fruit.” Looking at the transparent liquid in the white porcelain bottle, Feng Wu smiled. “I can’t refine anything here in the mountains. Once I’m back at home, I’ll finish that Nine Transformation Spirit Restoration Pill and I can resume my cultivation!”
Her long-cherished wish would finally come true!
