Dongfang Jun was startled and turned his head to look at her as he asked, “What’s wrong, Zi Lan?”


  “Nothing,” Nangong Zi Lan shook her head. She then bit her lips and looked expectantly at him as she asked, “Elder brother Jun, you won’t lie to me and will always love me for my entire life, right?”


  Dongfang Jun’s heart shuddered, but with a mile on his handsome face, he lifted his hand to pat Nangong Zi Lan’s head as he replied dotingly, “Zi Lan, how can I bear to lie to you? I will always love you and won’t betray your feelings for me.”


  Nangong Zi Lan leaned into Dongfang Jun’s embrace with satisfaction after hearing that. Her lips curved up into a wide smile.

  However, Nangong Zi Lan, who was in bliss, didn’t notice the coldness hidden in the man’s eyes…


  Xiao Yue directly entered the Alchemy Book after returning home. This made Mu Ru Yue to be unable to understand her action. She frowned and shifted her gaze to Xiao Bai that entered after her.

  “Xiao Bai, did something happen when you were outside?”


  Xiao Bai hesitated for a while before he decided to tell Mu Ru Yue what he heard.

  The more Mu Ru Yue heard from Xiao Bai, the darker her expression became.

  She originally thought that Xiao Yue’s injuries were caused by Nangong Zi Feng. Who knew that the Dongfang family also played a part.

  ‘He wants Xiao Yue to be his concubine? Even the status of the head wife of the Dongfang family isn’t compatible with Xiao Yue’s!’


  “The Dongfang family? They will pay the price for their stupidity that year!” A cold light flickered in Mu Ru Yue’s eyes as she continued to ask, “What is the identity of that fiancee of Dongfang Jun?”


  “I don’t know,” Xiao Bai Shook his head before he continued, “Xiao Lang seemed to have called her Nangong Zi Lan.”


  “Nangong Zi lan?”


  Mu Ru Yue’s brows raised as she commented, “She seem to be a person from the Nangong family. Xiao Bai, go and accompany Xiao Lang in the Alchemy Book. i will make a trip to visit Ouyang Yun Jin.”


  She initially didn’t care about the conflict between the four large family clans, but it seemed that she couldn’t stay out of it this time…


  The Ouyang family stayed within the Imperial City. It was probably being instructed previously that Mu Ru Yue wasn’t halted by anyone when she entered it.

  Ouyang Yun Jin was discussing something with Ouyang Jing at this moment. They were stunned when they saw the sudden appearance of the girl heading toward them. Ouyang Yun Jin then greeted her, “What a rare guest. Why has Lady Mu visited us? The medicinal plants that you needed haven’t been transferred to the Imperial City.”


  Mu Ru Yue jumped straight to the point as she said, “I want to know about the alliance marriage between the Dongfang and Nangong family.”


  Ouyang Yun Jin smiled and asked, “When did you like meddling with others matter?”


  “Young master Ouyang,” Mu Ru Yue lifted her gaze to look at Ouyang Yun Jin face as she continued, “Don’t tell me that you don’t know that Sky Wolf Xiao Yue had previously been severely injured by the Dongfang family.”


  Ouyang Yun Jin sipped a mouthful of tea at his own pace. He then replied with a faint smile, “The Sky Wolf originally was the beast from our Ouyang family. According to a message left by an expert in the ancient past, people that could subdue it would have great abilities. Thus, the Sky Wolf had never been willing to be subdued by anyone even if it may lead to its death. You are the only exception.”


  Ouyang Yun Jin swept gazes toward Mu Ru Yue as he said that before he continued, “I have to say this beforehand. The Sky Wolf wasn’t injured by our Ouyang family. It was already injured when we first picked it up. We then locked it up within the Ouyang family for several years. Following that, it escaped and was rescued by the Dongfang family. Our Ouyang family didn’t continue to pursue after it on behalf of giving respect to the Dongfang family. We, however, didn’t expect that the Dongfang family would mistreat it so we picked it back to our Ouyang family when it was severely injured…’
