Free Web NovelChapter 1315: Chapter 1309
"No, no, deceiving the Family Head is a grave offense. Don’t you drag me down with you."
Mu Chen felt this idea was unreliable as soon as he heard it.
"But aside from this method, do you have any other way to help Ziyue? Or are you planning to just sit by and watch Ziyue and her mother jump into the fire pit?"
Xin Lin glanced at Mu Chen.
"Their business has nothing to do with me."
Mu Chen muttered.
He had no intention of offending Third Aunt.
"Ziyue, let’s go. Anyway, capturing the Corpse King is a colossal merit. If you monopolize it alone, then in the Mu Family, and even across the entire Eastern Continent, you’ll be famous far and wide. An opportunity like this is once in a lifetime."
Seeing Mu Chen refusing to agree, Xin Lin turned around, grabbed Murong Ziyue, and was about to leave.
"Come back!"
Hearing that, Mu Chen hurriedly followed.
"You little girl, always full of sneaky ideas. Be honest with me—do you really know the Corpse King? Where exactly is he hiding?"
Mu Chen lowered his voice as he spoke.
What a joke. The Corpse King carried a powerful treasure on him; not just on the Eastern Continent, but on the other continents as well, everyone was scrambling for it.
Before leaving the clan this time, he had declared he would definitely find the Corpse King.
The Family Head had also publicly said that if someone could find the Corpse King, even if they failed to obtain the treasure, as long as they found the Corpse King, the position of Young Master would belong to that person.
Mu Chen was already the strongest contender for the title of Fengdong Young Master. It was just that this generation in Fengdong was brimming with talent. Although Mu Chen was confident, if someone else seized the credit—even Murong Ziyue—the position of Young Master might very well fall into someone else’s hands.
Mu Chen still felt Xin Lin’s proposal was unreliable, but even if there was only a ten percent chance, it was worth a try.
"If you want to meet the Corpse King, then obediently do as I say. As long as we can help Ziyue and her mother escape their misery, I promise you’ll definitely get to pick up the Corpse King."
Xin Lin’s small face was solemn, without the slightest hint of joking.
She never joked with her friends’ lives.
Murong Ziyue was her friend.
"Xin Lin, you really don’t have to do this for me..."
Murong Ziyue had been listening on the side and was deeply moved.
This wasn’t the first time Ye Lingyue had helped her.
"Ziyue, have you forgotten? Back during the Zixiao Palace Exam, you helped me too. When Sikong Ran humiliated me, you were the first one to stand up for me."
Xin Lin said with a smile.
"Fine, fine, fine, I’ll trust you this once. Let me tell you, if we get to Fengdong and I still don’t see the Corpse King, I’ll refine you into a Ghost Servant on the spot."
Seeing the two of them cherish each other like that, Mu Chen actually felt a bit envious.
After pondering for a moment, Mu Chen glared at Xin Lin, but still decided to take the risk and try.
"You definitely won’t be disappointed."
Xin Lin’s red lips curled up slightly as she smiled.
Ziyue’s mother’s wedding was in seven days; the three of them didn’t have much time left.
Mu Chen went to the Academy to request leave. As for Xin Lin and Murong Ziyue, one had already taken leave and the other was still on medical rest, so leaving the Academy posed no problem.
Murong Ziyue went back to the little wooden cabin to pack her things.
Xin Lin planned to settle matters at the School Clinic before leaving. Besides that, she had to make a trip to the Imperial Palace. It would be best if she could see Little Xinzhuo; she needed to tell Little Xinzhuo that she was going to Fuzhou.
On the way back to the School Clinic, Xin Lin unexpectedly ran into Little Xinzhuo, who was hurrying toward the School Clinic.
"Ah Zhuo, why are you back?"
Seeing Little Xinzhuo, Xin Lin was a bit surprised. Little Xinzhuo should still have been in confinement right now.
