My Foolish Husband Turned Out to Have a Hidden Identity Too

Chapter 112: Chapter 112 I Don’t Like Hiding Behind Others

Since leaving Feng City, Ye Wuchen had not planned to appear before her under this identity; thus, he had been protecting her safety from behind the scenes.

However, after what had just occurred, he realized that only by her side could he manage emergencies because if one day she truly disappeared before him, never to return, how immense would his despair and self-blame be?

Therefore, he was unwilling to remain hidden behind the scenes…

Mu Ruyue’s heart tightened slightly, and she raised her eyes to gaze at the man’s silver mask: “Who exactly are you?”

The man’s devilish smile brimmed with a gaze full of tenderness: “Who I am, you will know in the future. For now, for your safety, I must still keep it from you.”

It seemed that he needed to resolve some matters sooner so that he could be by her side…

Suddenly, Ye Wuchen’s eyes hardened, and he quickly moved aside with Mu Ruyue, avoiding a sudden sword light that struck where they had stood, creating a large gash in the ground.

A figure clad in black flashed before their eyes, and upon seeing the black clothing, Mu Ruyue slightly narrowed her eyes, a trace of cold light flitting across them: “Ling Ye, you’re still here!”

This was none other than Ling Ye, who had lost to Mu Ruyue at the Alchemy Conference.

Ling Ye snorted coldly, a sneer curling at his lips: “Miss Mu, to be honest, there aren’t many I admire in my life, but you are one of them. Hence, if you would hand over the Phoenix Tripod to me, I would spare your life. Otherwise, even if I admire you, I’ll have no choice but to kill you to take the Phoenix Tripod.”

Mu Ruyue laughed coldly, her stunning face void of any warmth.

“If you have the ability, come and take it. Since you lost to me in elixirs, that proves your strength is not to be feared.”

Ling Ye slightly narrowed his eyes and laughed coldly: “Miss Mu, my aspirations do not lie in elixirs, so indeed, I am not as skilled as you. However, my cultivation talent far surpasses my elixir skills. If you would hand over the Phoenix Tripod to me, I will certainly spare your life. After all, something like the Phoenix Tripod should belong to those who can properly possess it. You lack the capabilities and will never keep it forever.”

The Phoenix Tripod was the most precious treasure of the Alchemy Conference. His master had once coveted stealing the Phoenix Tripod and was expelled from the conference. Now that the Phoenix Tripod was in the hands of a young girl, would his master not feel unbearably aggrieved? And if he could take the Phoenix Tripod and give it to his master, his master’s elixir skills would surely advance further.

“Give it to me,” Ye Wuchen grasped her hand, saying softly.

“No need,” Mu Ruyue shook her head and looked up at Ling Ye, “He is looking for me, so let me handle this battle. I don’t like hiding behind others.”

Ye Wuchen gazed at Mu Ruyue’s determined face and burst into unexpected laughter: “I knew it. You’re not a woman who settles for being protected. I respect your decision. However, if you’re in danger, I can’t sit back and do nothing.”

It was because of her uncommon character that he appreciated her so much, wasn’t it?

Mu Ruyue stepped away from Ye Wuchen’s embrace, picked up Yan Jin who had been clinging to her, and threw him into Ye Wuchen’s arms, but Ye Wuchen thoughtlessly dropped Yan Jin to the ground.

He certainly hadn’t forgotten that this little beast had been constantly clinging to his woman, so Ye Wuchen had no fondness for Yan Jin, and besides Mu Ruyue, he disliked anyone or any creature coming close to him.
