Chapter 467: Wizard Clan Wuming
"What are you saying, Muyu? You're going?" Chen Yu asked. "You need to think this through."
"I have thought it through, Chen Yu," Bai Muyu said with a smile. "After my father passed, I was very depressed. If I want to emerge from this depression, only work can help. Besides, this research is my father's life's work, so I must take up his burden."
Chen Yu fell silent; he did not understand why she had suddenly made this decision.
"Chen Yu, thank you so much for everything you've done for me these days." Bai Muyu held Chen Yu's hand and smiled slightly. "But there are some things I must do. I know, you are a dragon."
"A small place like Fengling could never contain you. Sooner or later, you will roam the four seas. I will be in Shengjing, waiting for you..."
Chen Yu did not know what to say. Bai Muyu was right; he would eventually have to go to Shengjing.
Furthermore, given her current state, going to the Academy of Sciences to take over her father's work might be the best choice, so Chen Yu could not force her to stay by his side.
"Chen Yu, don't worry. Shengjing is not like other places. Even if foreign forces want to stir up trouble, they have to consider whether their heads are hard enough. I promise I will take good care of her."
At this point, Chen Yu had nothing more to say. He could only nod slightly. "Send me a message when you get there."
"I will." Bai Muyu smiled. She threw herself into Chen Yu's arms, and tears fell uncontrollably.
Late at night, in a wooden hut in the wilderness, a heavily wounded Taige stumbled into the room.
His skin was festering, and he was severely injured; he looked as if he had only one breath left.
Inside the room, a man wearing a bright red Wizard robe and holding a Wizard staff sat at a table.
This man wore a Golden Mask on his face, revealing only his eyes. His eyes were incomparably cold, making one shudder at the sight.
"Save me... Wuming... save me." Taige collapsed in front of the wooden table and reached out his hand.
"Were you poisoned with a Gu?" Seeing Taige's state, Wuming was somewhat moved.
"No, not Gu, it's insects. A type of insect. The insects Chen Yu planted in me, they are Liuxin Bees... Now the pupae have transformed and are constantly gnawing at my internal organs inside my body. Please, save me..."
Taige lay on the ground, scratching his body from time to time, as if thousands of insects were gnawing inside him, causing him unbearable pain.
"It's actually a Liuxin Bee. Chen Yu is indeed extraordinary." Wuming stood up slowly, his voice hoarse. "I cannot solve this problem of yours, so I can only see you off to reduce your suffering."
"No, don't..." Taige hissed. "I was sent by Tang En. I am his confidant. You cannot treat me like this. Find a way to save me, hurry! Aren't you a Wizard? You have ways."
"Heh, a Wizard is not omnipotent either," Wuming muttered. "People like Tang En have no sentimentality to speak of. If you are of no use to him, he will kill you directly."
"You're lying, save me, hurry..." Taige felt unbearable pain in his body; he screamed and kept scratching himself.
"Is someone following you?" Wuming suddenly furrowed his brows. "You trash, you didn't even know you leaked my whereabouts?"
"Save me, hurry and save me..." Taige lay on the ground, repeating only these words.
"Wait for death yourself." Wuming snorted coldly. He turned around, took a few steps, and vanished without a trace.
Boom! The door of the wooden hut was kicked open from the outside, and Ao Zhan rushed in with his men.
Inside the room, apart from the dying Taige, there was no one. Ao Zhan punched the wall fiercely. "We're too late."
"Is he the one who killed Mo Chen?" Jiu Ge saw Taige lying on the ground and could not help but be furious. "I'll kill you."
Just as Jiu Ge was about to act, countless bumps appeared under Taige's skin. These foreign objects moved rapidly beneath his skin and finally gathered at the center of his forehead.
"Watch out." Ao Zhan was startled and stopped Jiu Ge.
With a *pop*, the center of Taige's forehead broke open, and dozens of colorful bees flew out. These bees circled the room once, then flapped their wings and flew away.
As for Taige, he lay on the ground with a bloody hole in his forehead, dead as could be...
The matter was temporarily settled. Bai Muyu had left Fengling quietly; she did not like scenes of parting, especially with Chen Yu. She was afraid that if she became impulsive, she wouldn't go to Shengjing after all.
That day, just as Chen Yu finished handling matters at Xinglinju and was about to leave, Song Siyu ran over mysteriously. "Uncle-in-law, I finally found you. Come with me quickly, something big is going to happen."
"What happened to your aunt?" Chen Yu's first reaction was that something had happened to Song Mengyan, but he immediately realized. He smiled bitterly, "Let me state again, your aunt and I are colleagues. Don't call me uncle-in-law."
"I don't care, I only recognize you as my uncle-in-law, no one else works." Song Siyu giggled. "And you reacted quite quickly just now."
"What happened to your aunt? I'll contact her now." Chen Yu took out his phone to call Song Mengyan.
"You're about to have a love rival, uncle-in-law. You don't even know it yourself, do you?" Song Siyu said.
"What's the situation?" Chen Yu was baffled.
"Zhu Zijian, my aunt's old suitor. He's returned from overseas and insists on meeting my aunt, saying that unless she has a boyfriend, he will continue to pursue her." Song Siyu said.
"Isn't that a good thing?" Chen Yu smiled bitterly.
"What's good about it?" Song Siyu glared at Chen Yu. "That jerk is a hypocrite. Before he went abroad, he was a total playboy. I can't rest easy knowing my aunt might marry someone like that."
"Your aunt is an adult and has the ability to judge for herself. If she really wanted my help, she would have come to me herself," Chen Yu said, speechless.
"She's a girl, and she's thin-skinned. How could she take the initiative to ask you for this kind of help? I..." Song Siyu suddenly stopped. She stared blankly ahead, seeing that Song Mengyan was right in front of her and Chen Yu.
"Aunt, why are you here?" Song Siyu swallowed hard.
"Go back to school," Song Mengyan said angrily.
"Okay, I'm going back now." Song Siyu shrank her head and scurried away.
"Do you really have something to ask me?" Chen Yu asked with a smile.
"I do have something, but that little girl was just talking nonsense. Don't mind her," Song Mengyan said, unable to laugh or cry.
"Why do I feel like she's terrified you won't be able to get married?" Chen Yu was also a bit speechless.
"After her parents divorced, they each lived their own lives. She treats me like family, so she doesn't want me to be alone," Song Mengyan smiled.
"What do you need me for?" Chen Yu asked.
"I want to talk to you about the overseas layout of Tianyun Pharmaceuticals," Song Mengyan said. "Our medicine's reputation has been established, but selling it overseas will touch the interests of some people, so we are facing a rather serious problem."
"It's fine, we'll chip away at it bit by bit," Chen Yu smiled slightly. "I assume you are planning to eat away at it zone by zone? Tell me, where is your first target?"
"Fusang," Song Mengyan said. "Compared to other places, it is easier to accept traditional medicine there."
"Not bad. What's the plan?" Chen Yu asked.
"A classmate of mine, the Zhu Zijian that Siyu mentioned, stayed in Fusang after studying abroad. He has extensive connections, and he is in the pharmaceutical industry himself. I think he can help. I'm inviting him to dinner; you should come along and talk to him too," Song Mengyan said.
"Hmm, alright, let's go meet him." Chen Yu nodded.
Arriving at a very nice hotel, just as they got out of the car, someone behind Chen Yu shouted, "Brother Chen."
Chen Yu turned his head and saw it was Huang Shaoming. He ran over and smiled, "Brother Chen, what a coincidence, why are you here?"
"I'm discussing something with a friend," Chen Yu said. "What about you?"
"My dad is meeting an old comrade-in-arms today, right here. Which private room are you in, Brother Chen?" Huang Shaoming said.
"Which private room is it?" Chen Yu turned his head to ask Song Mengyan.
"Prosperity and Auspiciousness," Song Mengyan said.
"Alright, Brother Chen, you go ahead and get busy. I'll contact you later," Huang Shaoming said with a smile.
When Chen Yu arrived, he discovered that the classmates Song Mengyan mentioned were not just one person.
There was a man dressed in a very "bewitching" style, as well as two female classmates dressed in luxurious clothing who looked a bit like socialites.
The group was laughing and chatting. When Song Mengyan entered, that "man" covered his mouth and stood up with an exaggerated expression: "Oh my, look who's here, our great beauty Song Mengyan. Tee-hee, it really has been a long time."
"Yu Jian, it's been so long, you really are... becoming more and more... handsome." Song Mengyan looked at the man in surprise. Back in university, this classmate was already quite feminine, and now he was even wearing makeup.
