CHAPTER 291: CHAPTER 291

Changgui ran back excitedly. Not only was he praised by the teacher today, but he also found a formula in the Book Collection Pavilion that could efficiently refine Heart-soothing Grass. However, the record was rather sketchy, and he still needed to compare it with the Qian Ding Sect’s secret manuals for a deeper analysis, so he applied to return today to exchange for another book.

Changgui ran up to Chen Muxue, opened his mouth intending to call out Sect Leader, but unexpectedly, as soon as he opened his mouth, a tooth fell out. Before anyone could react, Changgui swiftly picked up the milk tooth from the ground and stuffed it back into his mouth.

Seeing everyone’s surprised and slightly shocked gazes focused on him, Changgui’s fair little face immediately flushed, soon turning as red as his ears.

"Spit it out quickly, that’s disgusting!" Chen Muxue hurriedly said.

This child, being shy is one thing, but why put the tooth back in?

Changgui spat out the fallen baby tooth and, covering his face, ran toward his room.

"Oh, even kids know how to be embarrassed now." Chen Muxue waved her hand, letting the children go play by themselves.

Just as the children left, Chen Muxue stood there dazed for a while before suddenly turning around, her gaze sharp. The recently arrived Chu Wuyi was taken aback by her look.

"So it’s you." Seeing it was him, Chen Muxue slightly relaxed her vigilance.

In contrast, Chu Wuyi cautiously sized her up: "Are you okay?"

Chen Muxue squeezed her brow in some exasperation. What’s going on? Why does everyone keep asking if she’s okay? Is it because she hasn’t been cooking lately?

"Did that Black Qi do something to you?" Chu Wuyi didn’t hide it anymore and asked directly.

"Nothing much, didn’t I come out of it all right? Your sister is still under the control of the Black Qi unless that Black Qi learned how to use Shadow Clone..." Chen Muxue paused, thinking that people at this time should not know what a Shadow Clone is, but the literal meaning should be understandable, right?

Chu Wuyi’s eyes darkened. He could clearly feel the impatience in Chen Muxue’s tone.

No one knows what that Black Qi truly is, nor what abilities it actually possesses. It’s not impossible that it can control two people at once.

Moreover, from the time he knew Chen Muxue, it was because of her cooking. Throughout all that time, Chen Muxue never slackened, and he could clearly see the confidence and joy radiating from her inside out when she was cooking. Seeing the satisfied expressions on everyone’s faces when they ate her food clearly brought Chen Muxue great joy.

And now, she suddenly stopped cooking, even leaving the iron pot, which she always carried on her back, in her room.

Just by observing, it’s clear that the iron pot is no ordinary item. Black Qi might be able to control people, but it surely has no effect on Magic Artifacts, right? So, the Chen Muxue influenced by the Black Qi even put down that iron pot.

The more Chu Wuyi thought about it, the more he felt that the Chen Muxue before him was no longer the same Chen Muxue from before.

Chen Muxue rummaged through those books over and over again but truly couldn’t find anything about Black Qi. She had gone through them countless times, and at this moment, her heart grew increasingly agitated, an inexplicable rage filling her chest, yet her personality wasn’t the kind to get easily angry, so she felt increasingly uncomfortable.

Seeing Chen Muxue sitting there taking deep breaths continuously, seemingly trying to adjust something but clearly not engaging in cultivation, Chu Wuyi stepped forward slowly to check: "Are you really okay? Shouldn’t I get you a doctor or something?"

"I said it’s nothing, so it’s nothing!" Chen Muxue suddenly pushed back, and Chu Wuyi was unexpectedly sent flying by her!
