Chapter 247: Chapter 247 Siblings Meet, Return Home (Part 1) Chapter 247: Chapter 247 Siblings Meet, Return Home (Part 1) The Medicine Sect conference came to a swift end, but those who attended felt their trip was not in vain. Praising the accomplishments of the mere seventeen-year-old who reached Earth-grade Peak and cured many afflictions that had stymied other Pharmacists, they left with more than enough stories to boast about.

Especially those who had underestimated her as a Mid-level Human-class Alchemy Master now wished they could hide in the cracks of the earth in shame.

During this time, members of the Qin Family had attempted to visit Mu Ruyue, but they were stopped by Ye Wuchen, who did not take kindly to strangers disturbing their peace.

Compared to these events, Ye Wuchen and Mu Ruyue decided to begin carrying out their plan.

To marry!

Thus, all the Alchemy Masters within the Medicine Sect received an invitation stating that Ye Wuchen and Mu Ruyue would soon wed, setting the date for the fifteenth of the following month.

Mu Ruyue thought it was quite sudden, but obviously, Ye Wuchen didn’t want to wait. If it weren’t for the incident with the Sect Leader of the Holy Maiden Sect, they likely would have been married already, and Mu Ruyue might even have had a child in her belly. This had been delayed for nearly a year.

Thinking about the escaped Sect Leader of the Holy Maiden Sect, Ye Wuchen’s brows furrowed slightly. For over half a year, Ghost Hall had been searching for the whereabouts of the Sect Leader, yet his location remained unknown.

That man was destined to be trouble, and Ye Wuchen resolved to eliminate him at the earliest opportunity. However, once he and Muer were married, he would stop targeting Muer…

After sending out the invitations, they hurriedly made their way to the Xiao Family to prepare for next month’s wedding ceremony, grateful that most of the arrangements had already been made, sparing them from further effort.

At that moment, in a forest not far from the Xiao Family estate, a man dressed in a linen robe lay unconscious in a thicket, his pale face clearly the result of excessive blood loss.

The man was very handsome, with sharp and defined features, his eyebrows arching boldly over his temples and black hair splayed across the ground. Despite his numerous and ferocious wounds, his beauty wasn’t diminished.

Still, his broad and strong chest bared to the sunset took on an enticing glow.

Mu Ruyue had intended to simply pass by this man without interference, but suddenly, her gaze was drawn to the Jade Pendant at the man’s waist.

A distinctly carved “Xiao” captured her attention, reflecting in her pupils…

“Xiao!”

Could it be that this man was from the Xiao Family?

“Muer, what’s wrong?” Ye Wuchen turned and looked at Mu Ruyue, his bewitchingly handsome face softening with a gentle smile.

Mu Ruyue’s eyes narrowed slightly, “This man is wearing a Jade Pendant from the Xiao Family; he must have some connection to our family. I want to save him!”

Perhaps the Jade Pendant was merely found or simply shared the same surname, but she would rather err in saving a thousand than overlook one. If he truly was of the Xiao Family, she would undoubtedly regret it for a lifetime.

Mu Ruyue took out an Elixir and placed it into the man’s mouth. The man, still holding onto some consciousness, swallowed the Elixir.

The moment the Elixir was ingested, the man’s eyes slowly opened…

What kind of eyes were they? So deep they seemed to draw one in, like an endless abyss that concealed any discernible emotion.

“Who are you?”

The man’s gaze fell upon the young woman, his black eyes tinted with wariness as he asked each word meticulously.

Mu Ruyue didn’t answer his question but asked faintly, “Are you from the Xiao Family? May I know your name?”
