Chapter 46: Protector of Flowers Envoy, Mother-in-Law Has an Invitation

The next day.

The day of official registration at Northern Dipper University.

Although most students had already come to register early, some still chose to come now.

Also, the upperclassmen who went home for the holiday returned to school today.

Peking and Tsinghua's school rules are quite strict; during the holiday it's fine, but after the official start of term, students have attendance checks every day.

"Wow, what a beautiful woman."

"My dad wasn't wrong; Peking and Tsinghua really does have beautiful women like clouds."

A lovely figure attracted the attention of many students.

The person was Murong Wan.

Early in the morning, Murong Wan refused Murong Yan's suggestion to send her to school and entered the school alone.

Today she wore an exquisite white dress; sunlight danced among her hair, making her skin look as translucent as snow.

Her lotus-step demeanor carried a cool, aloof aura; her simple attire only highlighted that otherworldly temperament, making it even more breathtaking.

Every passing student couldn't help but slow their steps, whether male or female, all drawn by her fleeting, peerless beauty.

Before, she had no cultivation at all, yet she could outshine countless women of Rong Cheng, becoming Rong Cheng's number one beauty—certainly not an empty reputation.

"Are you a freshman this year? Let me take you to register."

An upperclassman moved the quickest, reaching her in just a few steps.

Murong Wan gave off a strong youthful vibe, so they took her for a junior.

"No need, thank you."

Murong Wan declined indifferently.

"Junior, you have so much stuff; it'll be inconvenient to carry upstairs later—let me help you move it."

On the trailer following Murong Wan, there were quite a lot of items.

This was an intelligent self‑following trailer.

"Yeah, junior, you have too much stuff; the dorm elevator is small, so it's a hassle—let us help you."

More upperclassmen arrived.

"No need, thank you."

Murong Wan was getting a bit impatient.

"Junior..."

"Sis, you've finally come."

That upperclassman was about to say more when a familiar voice suddenly cut in.

Murong Wan turned her head; the person was Lu Xun.

After giving her a slight smile, Lu Xun looked at the many upperclassmen and said, "With me here, there's no need to trouble you seniors."

"Are you her brother?"

The upperclassmen's enthusiasm didn't wane.

They didn't recognize Lu Xun.

"Not by blood, you know what I mean."

Lu Xun blinked.

"Oh, I see—sorry for the interruption."

The upperclassmen understood Lu Xun's meaning and stopped bothering Murong Wan.

"Lu Xun, thanks for the medicine you sent; my father's poison is cured. I don't have your contact info, so I haven't been able to thank you in person."

After walking in silence for a while, Murong Wan spoke up first.

"No need to be so polite; I didn't expect that medicine to be so effective. By the way, let's add each other on WeChat."

Lu Xun went along with it.

He didn't have Murong Wan's contact info; having one would sometimes be convenient.

"Okay."

After a few seconds of silence, Murong Wan took out her phone.

"Scan me."

"Mm."

They added each other's V.

"Is your father's recovery about complete now?"

"Mm, basically healed, though the old injury still gives some trouble."

"Your father is so rich; can't he buy healing pills?"

"His old injury damaged his dantian; the pill that could fully heal it is something his father can't afford."

After adding each other's V, Lu Xun and Murong Wan chatted as they walked.

Murong Wan's words made Lu Xun a little curious.

Are there pills that even a fourth‑realm master can't afford?

But that makes sense upon thought.

The higher‑grade the pill, the more precious its ingredients.

Take the Meridian‑Opening Pill used for opening meridians—its price is extremely high.

That's just for the first realm.

A pill that could completely heal a fourth‑realm master's dantian is surely extremely rare.

There are probably not many pill masters who can refine pills.

Like the Jia Clan Group, which is well reputed in the East, its current main business is limited to below the Fourth Realm.

Pills above the Fourth Realm are not beyond their ability to refine, but the effects are not particularly remarkable, and their reputation is rather ordinary.

"Wow! Beautiful woman!"

"So pretty~"

Along the way, Murong Wan's turn‑head rate was too high.

Even though Qingbei has many beauties, few are as beautiful as Murong Wan to this degree.

Many boys were eager to make a move, especially some upperclassmen.

At this point, the role of Lu Xun as the Flower Protector Envoy became evident.

Without Lu Xun, Murong Wan wouldn't know how many times she would have been hit on along the way.

Murong Wan obviously noticed this and felt quite grateful toward Lu Xun.

"Young Aunt, Young Aunt, how did you come so early?"

Then Chu Youqing arrived.

Murong Wan got up too early; by the time Chu Youqing arrived, Murong Wan had already set off.

Chu Youqing then came after her.

"Lu Xun, are you here too?"

"Yeah, I just happened to see your young aunt and helped block some flies for her."

Upon seeing Lu Xun, Chu Youqing didn't think much of it.

She linked arms with Murong Wan and chatted away.

Their ages are not far apart, and they have plenty of common topics.

When they stood side by side, one was as pure and lovely as a newly blooming cherry blossom, the other as bright and gorgeous as a rose in full bloom, like twin lotuses, each displaying a distinct yet equally captivating beauty.

"Phew, young aunt, you have so much stuff—thanks to Lu Xun."

"Youqing, I'll head off first."

"This afternoon I plan to go eat with my young aunt; are you coming?"

"No, I still have things to do."

"Alright."

An hour later, finally, all of Murong Wan's belongings were moved into the dormitory.

Lu Xun then left.

He discovered.

His girlfriend seemed to be missing a screw.

Could it be that Chu Youqing already forgot about that night's events?

Her proper course should be to avoid letting Lu Xun and Murong Wan have too much contact, to prevent further romantic development between them.

That's right.

Back when Lu Xun and Murong Wan spent that night together, it was Chu Youqing who personally gave her the medicine.

His girlfriend really is missing a screw.

Unfortunately, Lu Xun never got the chance to give Murong Wan the dark energy and martial technique.

Given their current relationship, giving gifts isn't easy, so they'll have to wait until later.

"Classmate Lu Xun, someone is looking for you."

Just after leaving the dormitory building, Lu Xun suddenly received a call from the Student Affairs Office.

"Someone is looking for him?"

"May I ask who is looking for me?"

"Student Affairs Office," Lu Xun asked.

"It's me, Lu Xun."

A familiar voice sounded.

"Aunt?"

Lu Xun turned around.

The person looking for him was Murong Yan.

Today Murong Yan wore an exquisite moon‑white cheongsam; the slit design subtly outlined her long legs, and the delicate silver embroidery on the collar wound down to her waist, accentuating her curvaceous figure while hinting at an aloof nobility.

This outfit exuded elegance with a touch of charm, nobility with a hint of sensuality, making her especially alluring.

Passing students couldn't help but glance at her a few more times.

"Lu Xun, I also just found out you opened your spiritual meridian—I didn't expect your talent to be so outstanding."

Murong Yan walked over gracefully, and as soon as she spoke, she lavished praise on Lu Xun.

"Aunt, you flatter me—it was just luck."

Lu Xun, unaware of Murong Yan's intent, replied humbly.

"Being able to open the Double Heaven Earth Meridian—how could that be mere luck? You are a true genius."

Murong Yan's eyes shone with admiration.

This sudden change in her attitude left Lu Xun somewhat bewildered.

"Aunt, are you looking for me because of Youqing?"

After thinking, Lu Xun got straight to the point.

Upon hearing this, Murong Yan let out a soft sigh, her expression gaining a touch of tenderness.

Well, it's still about this, but I've figured it out. With Youqing's talent, by the time she graduates from university she'll definitely have third or fourth level cultivation. Our Chu family has her, and you as her son-in-law—we will surely rise in the future. Why rush for a moment?

Her words made Lu Xun couldn't help but show a happy expression.

Auntie, does this mean you agree to me being with Youqing?

Lu Xun felt somewhat happy and asked.

Well, I won't stop you anymore. Coincidentally, I have some matters at home, so I'll head back to Rong Cheng tomorrow. I'd like to ask you to keep an eye on the shop on Qingbei Jie—the shop has a manager in charge; you just need to check the accounts every few days.

Murong Yan nodded.

Watch the shop?

That's not really a big deal.

Anyway, Lu Xun doesn't need to cultivate, so he has plenty of time.

Auntie, that's fine.

Lu Xun agreed.

I won't let you work for nothing; I'll give you twenty percent of the shop's monthly income.

Auntie, no need, no need...

Alright, it's settled. Come with me to the shop now, and I'll brief you on the details.

Oh, okay, then I'll let Youqing know.

No need for now; she's out shopping with her younger aunt. I'll have her come over tonight and give her a surprise.

Alright.

In the midst of their conversation, Lu Xun left school together with Murong Yan.
