Chapter 109: Chapter 109: An Old Acquaintance Seems Familiar (Part 5)
The scorching sun blazed like fire.
Under the oppressive sun, a young girl took gentle steps, her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed, lost in thought. Her hands harshly kneaded the soft, squirming body of Yan Jin, unaware of the pleading look in his eyes.
By now, Mu Ruyue had become a celebrity within the city. Who attending the Alchemy Conference didn’t know her? Thus, her appearance instantly attracted many gazes.
But at that moment, the girl who had been under the sunlight suddenly disappeared.
Yes, she indeed vanished into thin air before everyone’s eyes…
And just as she disappeared, a silver figure swiftly approached from behind, his eyes beneath the silver mask filled with undisguised urgency.
“Muer.”
Fear like never before surged in Ye Wuchen’s eyes as he saw her disappearing right before him. The fear seemed unshakeable, as if he feared… feared that she might never return.
If she never came back…
No! That could not happen!
No one could snatch her from before his eyes; otherwise, he would never forgive himself!
“Muer, I will not let anyone take you away, never!” Ye Wuchen calmed his inner turmoil. Beneath the mask, his extraordinarily handsome face twisted into a grim smile.
If his subordinates saw him now, they would know their master was truly angry.
“It seems Muer has been taken to another space. It doesn’t matter who he is, I won’t let her be taken away, especially not right before my eyes,” Ye Wuchen declared.
At that moment, within a void of space.
Mu Ruyue lay on the ground, her mind throbbing with pain. Slowly, she opened her eyes, her gaze confused as she surveyed her surroundings, suddenly a figure of unparalleled beauty appeared before her.
The man wore white robes as pure as snow, his appearance untouched by dust. His long, snow-white hair fluttered in the wind as he gazed down at Mu Ruyue, his stunning, immortal-like features marked by a hint of complexity.
“You have finally returned,” the man sighed softly, endless sorrow in his dark eyes,” It’s a pity I can’t meet you personally and can only bring you here.”
Mu Ruyue lifted her gaze to the man. For some reason, his white hair seemed to tug at her heart, evoking a sense of familiarity as if they had known each other before.
Yet she was certain she had never met this man before, and his strength was overwhelming, stronger than anyone she had ever encountered.
“Actually, I sensed your presence from the moment you arrived here from that otherworldly place. Only recently could I be sure,” the man said, his gaze soft on Mu Ruyue as he smiled faintly.
His smile was ethereal, free of any worldly taint.
“Who are you?” Mu Ruyue’s gaze darkened slightly. Did this man know that she had crossed over? Suddenly, she felt Yan Jin trembling in her arms, her arms tightening around him instinctively.
“Yan Jin?”
“Girl, don’t worry. I’m fine. It’s just that there’s something about this man that frightens me,” Yan Jin couldn’t explain why, but he felt an inexplicable fear toward the man.
Mu Ruyue looked up at the man, seemingly waiting for his answer.
The man took a step forward, his smile fading to almost nothing, except his dark eyes which conveyed a deep melancholy, making him seem so forlorn.
