Chapter 104: Chapter 104: Dare to be More Arrogant
In fact, the old man really wanted Mu Ruyue to be his granddaughter-in-law, but he knew this girl had a stubborn streak and would definitely not agree. That’s why he wanted Qingyu to stay by her side, hoping that in time, affection would grow; he had all the time in the world to wait.
No sooner had his words fallen than not just others, but even Qingyu himself was stunned, looking at the Chairman with the most wronged expression in his eyes.
Was this considered being sold out by his own grandpa?
“Grandpa.” Qingyu furrowed his brows, his handsome face tinged with a look of grievance.
“You shut your mouth!” the Chairman glared at him viciously, “Your grandpa is talking business here, what are you butting in for? Go stand aside.”
Qingyu reluctantly shook his head, thinking how could he have such a grandpa? The man had sold off his own grandson without any hesitation.
“Miss, my grandpa is joking with you, please don’t take it to heart,” Qingyu raised his head, giving Mu Ruyue a shy smile. He scratched his head and said, “This old guy is just like that, no respect for—”
Before he could finish the word “respect”, a fist landed heavily on his head.
The Chairman, quivering with rage, glared at him like a ferocious deity: “Is that how you talk about your grandpa? ‘No respect for the old’? Brat, I am your grandpa!”
Qingyu pursed his lips, giving him a pitiful look.
Having such a mischievous old child for a grandpa was worse than not having one at all…
“Hehe, girl, what do you think?” the Chairman turned his head to look at Mu Ruyue, saying with a beaming smile, “My grandson is actually not too bad. He’s quite presentable, he’s got Talent, and can cook and clean. Why not consider taking him in?”
Mu Ruyue sighed helplessly, “I already have a husband, and besides, it doesn’t seem like your grandson is willing.”

Looking at Qingyu’s grievously woeful appearance, he was the spitting image of a little uke suffering inhuman abuse.
“How about becoming my apprentice then?” the Chairman fell silent for a moment, his eyes suddenly brightened, he asked.
Mu Ruyue shook her head, “I refuse.”
Refuse? She refused?
Everyone looked at Mu Ruyue in astonishment. Who didn’t know of the Chairman’s status? In the world today, the only person who could rival him was the haughty Elder Wu Yu. Yet, this girl had dared to refuse the Chairman’s offer to take her as an apprentice?
Could she be any more audacious?
“Girl, if you refuse me, you should at least give me a reason,” the Chairman said with a look of hurt.
He wanted to take an apprentice, and she refused? Could her master be even more formidable than him?
“Because I already have a master, and he will be coming here in a few days. If you want to take me as your apprentice, you can discuss it with him,” Mu Ruyue shrugged her shoulders and said with a half-hearted smile.
Hearing this, the Chairman breathed a sigh of relief, “Fine, when your master arrives, I will personally talk to him about this. If he agrees, then you’ll be my apprentice from then on.”
Within the Four Countries, aside from Elder Wu Yu, who else’s Elixir skills surpassed his? And he had never heard of Elder Wu Yu taking any disciple, so clearly, this girl wasn’t his student.
If that was the case, it should be easy for her master to give up his apprentice to him, right? As the Pill Association Chairman, asking for a single person should be met with agreement from that guy…
In the crowd, the Silver Mask man who had yet to leave witnessed the entire scene, a faint smile curling up under his mask.
The man felt an urge to keep Mu Ruyue all to himself to prevent others from coveting her, but he understood that this woman was not like other women; she was not content hiding behind someone else, basking in their protection.
She was destined, by her own efforts, to reach the Peak of Martial Arts, and to look down upon the world with cold eyes…
