CHAPTER 244: 244: MU MINGYU’S ARRANGEMENT

"If you have time, you should go. Your great-aunt’s temperament is too quiet, it’s good to bother her a little, or else, being so young, she’d end up like an old lady with no youthful vitality whatsoever. If your cousin hadn’t gone off to another place to film, I would definitely have asked her to take your great-aunt out for a good stroll..."

Mu Qing wanted to say, isn’t the great-aunt already an old lady? Having such a high seniority and all those mysterious skills, it’s no wonder she’s a little peculiar.

Seeing his aunt knowing nothing, only treating his great-aunt as a junior, he could only say: ignorance is bliss!

Although the Zhan family’s focus is not in the Capital City, after all, they are the richest in the country and still have houses in the Capital City.

Moreover, since Zhan Jingshu took Mu Qiuniang as his master, naturally, the disciple follows wherever the master goes.

After Mu Qiuniang returned to the Capital City, she informed Zhan Jingshu that if he had any doubts about his cultivation, he could come to ask her.

Furthermore, she mentioned that after a while, he would study alongside his junior disciple, Murong, by her side.

Old Master Zhan’s first reaction was to directly pack things up and send him over.

"Disciple Zhan Jingshu pays respects to Master."

Upon first meeting, Zhan Jingshu respectfully bowed to Mu Qiuniang.

"Hmm, rise!"

As soon as Mu Qiuniang spoke, he stood up and turned back into that sunny and handsome young man.

"Master, I heard that you and the Master appeared on ’A Date with静’? Were you showing your love again?"

Mu Qiuniang raised her eyes slightly: "Did you finish your morning lesson today?"

"Master, I just came over." He hadn’t even warmed the chair yet.

"Go finish your morning lesson first, then we’ll talk."

"Yes, Master!" Zhan Jingshu replied sullenly.

Ah... if only the Master were here, Master wouldn’t be so cold.

The one thing Zhan Jingshu was grateful for was that even though Jiang Nuo was busy every day with announcements, he would always return, no matter how late.

Zhan Jingshu was sent to his room by Mu Mingyu.

"Mingyu!"

As Mu Mingyu returned to the hall, he heard Mu Qiuniang calling him: "Great-aunt, any orders?"

"Stretch out your hand."

"Yes!" Mu Mingyu didn’t ask why and just stretched his hand out.

As he did, he saw a transparent white glass ball, about the size of a tennis ball, placed in his palm by his great-aunt.

This white glass ball was more beautiful and translucent than usual, seeming to have undergone some special treatment.

However, what surprised him was when the glass ball landed in his hand, Mu Qiuniang muttered something, and inside the ball, a gorgeous blue smoke rose, a beauty he had never seen before!

The blue smoke continued to swell until it filled the entire glass ball completely and stopped growing.

Mu Mingyu looked at Mu Qiuniang with curiosity; was this a new toy created by his great-aunt?

It was quite beautiful, somewhat like the witch’s magical crystal ball in fairy tales. If it could change to several colors, it would definitely be very interesting.

"You’ve been following me for a while now, and I’m sure you’re very puzzled as to why the family would appoint such an excellent and universal butler to serve such a young elder like me."

It wasn’t a question; Mu Qiuniang was merely stating a fact.

Mu Mingyu didn’t deny it.

"You’ve done very well! Although puzzled, you never interject where you shouldn’t, less listening and more doing, I’m very satisfied."

"Thank you for the compliment, great-aunt, I will work even harder to perform my duties well."

"Hmm! As an elder, I haven’t given you a meeting gift, so I’ll give you this ring."

Another ring? Mu Mingyu was indeed a bit surprised; it seemed his great-aunt had a knack for giving rings to people, but he took it anyway.

But as he received it, he felt something bite his finger. Looking down, a tear on his finger was swallowed by the ring?!

Yes, it was swallowed, with a small mouth opened and gulped down. When it realized he was watching, it grinned back at him.

Mu Mingyu widened his eyes, only now realizing that this thing, with a slightly archaic look and a small lion’s head engraving, was probably a living being?!

That’s right! The one that bit him was this little lion, not even the size of his thumb.

"There are some materials in there; look through them well and then decide which path to follow, whether cultivation or an ordinary life, just do what your heart desires."

When Mu Mingyu left Mu Qiuniang’s place, he was still somewhat in a daze.

Back in his room, he spread open his palm, and the ring he thought was just a ring lay there quietly, looking no different from an ordinary ring.

If it weren’t for that scene just now, he would still have believed it was just a ring.

Mu Mingyu couldn’t help but touch its head, and it immediately came to life, no longer a closed circle, but a thumb-sized lion, growling at him in dissatisfaction.

However, unfortunately, it was so small that its supposed mighty roar sounded like a kitten’s meow.

Mu Mingyu chuckled, "Are you from Lilliput? This is my first time seeing such a small lion. Great-aunt has always been mysterious, seeing you makes me know I made a right decision back then."

Since it’s the family’s arrangement, he would serve the great-aunt well.

"Great-aunt asked me to look at the materials and decide whether to pursue cultivation, can you tell me where the materials are?"

The little lion seemed to understand everything he said, though it couldn’t speak, it touched his finger and turned back into a ring.

"Is this the legendary space ring?" Remembering that Mu Qiuniang’s two disciples had both received a ring before, he suddenly felt very lucky.

Mastering the space ring wasn’t difficult; when he put it on his index finger, he felt something identical to his soul.

That voice told him: take whatever you want.

Then, a series of things appeared in his mind, floating like little light spots in mid-air, and he could reach out to grab them.

Mu Mingyu saw the one resembling an ancient book and chose it.

Then, a book introducing cultivation appeared in the real world, in his hand.

He didn’t rush to open it, instead rubbing the cover gently; he knew that once he made a decision, this thing could change his life’s destiny.

Once, his greatest dream was to become the most outstanding universal butler.

And now, will his dream change?

No!

His dream will not change.

No matter what path he takes in the future, no matter what kind of person he becomes, he will strive toward this goal, achieving it to the utmost, so that no one can surpass him again.
