Chapter 898: Hai Rong’s Plan IV
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Hai Rong smiled a little. “No problem. I don’t care about that. I can’t just leave after arriving here. I will leave after the old master’s birthday.”
“Master.” Mu Huan panicked. She dared not show any expression on her face. “But the spirit herbs on the back hill would be eaten by the spirit beasts if no one is looking after them.”
Hai Rong was feeling uneasy and she had basically determined that his guess was right.
“Huan’er, why are you stopping me from joining the old master’s birthday feast? Is there someone whom I can’t meet there?”
A clear panic could be seen in Mu Huan’s eyes this time.
Even if it was just for a second, Hai Rong could still clearly see it.
“Master, how could there be anyone whom I don’t want you to meet at the birthday feast?” Mu Huan smiled. She then said kindly, “I’m really asking because of the spirit herbs on the back hill. Master has always looked after the spirit herbs well. Didn’t you mention that there were a few spirit herbs that would mature soon? I fear that the spirit beasts would fight over them. Master has initially wanted to go back before they mature, right?”
Mu Huan paused. “So how can I bother you for Grandfather’s birthday?”
What she said was reasonable, it was as if she was really thinking about Hai Rong.
Hai Rong’s eyes sank a little. He stared at Mu Huan for a while before he burst out laughing.
“You’re right. The spirit herbs on the back hill are about to mature. I should go back. Huan’er, you don’t have to escort me this time. You shall return to Divine Cloud Mountain after the old master’s birthday.”
“Yes, Master.”
Mu Huan’s fl.u.s.tered heart finally relaxed.
‘It seems that Master really does not know about Suyi. As long as the two of them do not meet, Mother’s lie would not be detected.
‘At least, the two of them must never meet each other at the birthday feast.’
“Huan’er, I’m a bit tired. You shall go back and prepare for the birthday feast. If I can’t make it to the feast, I will definitely send a big congratulatory gift to the old master!”
He purposely aggravated the word ‘big’ with a gentle smile.
No matter how cunning Mu Huan was, she was still too young. Even if she had sensed that something was wrong at first, how could she have won against an experienced old fox?
“I thank you on behalf of my grandfather.” Mu Huan left with a cheerful smile on her face.
Hai Rong’s face turned cold after Mu Huan had left. He clenched his fists tightly.
“Everyone knows that I am Mu Huan’s master. Mu Ling knows that I don’t like fame and fortune. I hate those who value fame and fortune. He dares not ask me to do anything for the Mu family, but it doesn’t mean that he will not use my name to do other things in the future.”
“Mu Ling and Chen Qingyan have treated me as a fool. Mu Huan also did not tell me the truth. This time, I’ll let everyone know that I will cut off my relations.h.i.+p with the Mu family!”
He did not like fame and fortune and also detested deception!
He could not forgive anyone who had cheated him regardless of who he was.
***
The old master’s birthday feast was coming and Tian Shen Manor was busier than ever.
The old master had made many friends and it was normal for many people to join him in celebration. However, that was in the past. After the old master had taken ill, those people had disappeared and had never shown up even once. It had never been so lively like today for a long time.
Even Mu Ling was a little surprised.
He had only regained his senses after he heard Han Feng’s report.
“Those people have decided to come because they heard that Grandmaster Hai Rong is at the Mu family. They want to take this opportunity to build connections with Grandmaster Hai Rong. Grandmaster Qian Kun is at the chief manor. Those people could not approach him. However, Hai Rong also does not value fame and fortune at all. Therefore, he is even more difficult to approach.” Mu Ling was a little regrettable. “It’s such a waste. Hai Rong’s name can be used anywhere. If only he is willing to help the Mu family, I don’t have to ask Nan Xian to return and arrange the marriage for him. We have Grandmaster Hai Rong with us. We don’t have to fear that those families would not unite with the Mu family.”
