Chapter 26.3: Stirrings of Love in the Youth

"It's only a million in gold, merely a drop in the ocean to me. Heh, all those people were so eager to flatter me they were all rushing forward, only too happy to pay for me foolishly. It's not my money anyway, what's paid is paid!" Mu Chi's eyes were two crescent arcs, his face split with a harmless and benign smile, looking just like an obedient boy next door.

This fella had great looks, a highly intelligent mind, and possessed great gift in cultivation.

Although he had been stripped of his t.i.tle as a prince, but the lad still had a Master who was from one of the Three Great Sects of the lands, the Limitless Sect.

He was the last disciple accepted by the Master and was also the youngest among the disciples. Great looking and with a honeyed tongue, he was greatly doted upon by his seniors male and female alike. However big the amount of people who were fighting tooth and nail seeking to gain the instruction of the Limitless Sect's Sect Leader would mean that the same number of people would be fawning on and trying to win the favour of this most favoured disciple in the inner circle. Hence, it could well be imagined how rich this fella could very well be.

So, a million taels in gold to him, really did not mean much.

Xuanyuan Che sighed, feeling really helpless against him.

"Alright alright. don't stay here to give me such looks anymore. Hurry up and go busy yourself with your own things. Yawn~ I'll sleep for awhile more." Mu Chi yawned lazily, and waved his hand dismissively at Xuanyuan Che, before he climbed back up onto the soft lounge. Turning his back to the Crown Prince, Mu Chi then fell asleep.

Xuanyuan Che was speechless. "…."

Qing Yu had been helping her younger brother to train his actual combat abilities the past few days and she also had to engage in a battle of wits and guts with Mo Han Yan.

And those Ladies and Young Misses who were so idle with nothing better to do were intermittently coming in through her doors as well. It was only till she had some free time that she came to realize that she had forgotten about her promise to go purge the poison for Lou Jun Yao another time after a few days.

She changed into a set of male clothing and disguised her face slightly before she went out through a side door.

The Gathered Cloud Loft was two streets away from the Duke's Manor, in a dark alley. Saying that it was far, it really wasn't all that long a distance away. It was about time for dinner and there wasn't too many people on the street or Qing Yu would have been stuck for quite a while, blocked by the crowd before she would be able to get out.

Actually if she were to disguise her looks to become uglier, then she wouldn't attract that much attention. But she had found that too bothersome and was too lazy to spend so much effort just to turn her face into one that she would not be able to recognize herself.

She traversed past two streets and was just walking into the alley where she would soon see the Gathered Cloud Loft.

"Miss!" A nice sounding voice tinged with smiles suddenly rang out.

Qing Yu lifted a brow, guessing that it must be a young couple out and about. The setting sun's rays were beautiful. [Arranging to meet at dusk, yup. It's great to be young.]

"Miss, why are you ignoring me?" The voice had become a little mournful. She guessed that the young lad must have made his sweetheart unhappy and his sweetheart must be throwing a tantrum.

Qing Yu was confident she was right and she continued her way forward. [Mm, almost there at last.]

A gust of wind suddenly blew past her from behind, and a person was suddenly standing in front of her. Dressed in silver, slender and tall figure, a head of black hair bound up by a single silver hair band, looking refreshed and highly trained.

It was a young man who looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, his smiling eyes making him easily likeable, not to mention his exceptionally handsome good looks, a splendid example of a fine young man.

When one saw beautiful things, their moods were always great.

And Qing Yu was no exception.

But, having him appear so suddenly in front of her to block her way, and addressing her as….. Miss, that wasn't really all that great for her.

"This Young Master here, are we acquainted?" Qing Yu said, smiling gently and gracefully.

Who else would this handsome lad be but Mu Chi?

He had immediately come keep watch outside the Eternal Peace Duke's Manor the moment he awoke and had waited so long before he saw her come out. Don't even ask how he was still able to recognize her even after she had disguised herself before she came out.

Because….. he would never admit, back at that time when he was barely conscious from the poison, he had felt himself surrounded by the aura emanating from this young lady that made him feel so ease, and that was a feeling that he would not fail to recognize.

Moreover, she possessed such a beautiful pair of eyes.

[But….. why is she not able to remember her already?]
