My Foolish Husband Turned Out to Have a Hidden Identity Too-Chapter 1197 - 1203: The Grey-clothed Venerable’s Invitation (Part 8)

The Grey-clothed Venerable before her looked cautious, and there was a glimmer of expectation in his eyes.

Suddenly, three black lines appeared on Mu Ruyue’s forehead. She coughed lightly twice and said, "My matters are already settled. Next, let’s talk about yours."

"My matters?"

The Grey-clothed Venerable was taken aback and asked in confusion.

"That’s right," Mu Ruyue nodded, "If I’m not mistaken, your body is already failing, like an oil lamp running dry. Managing to hold on until today is already quite difficult." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Hearing these words, the Grey-clothed Venerable gave a bitter smile. "Over the years, for her sake, I’ve worried myself sick, and it’s worn my body down. If I can’t make a breakthrough, I’m afraid my life won’t last much longer..."

As long as one hasn’t reached the final step, life is not infinite.

The Grey-clothed Venerable was powerful, which allowed him to live for so long, but his lifespan was also limited. Unless he breakthrough, it could not be extended further...

"Three years, I have three years left. However, making a breakthrough within these three years seems unlikely."

The Grey-clothed Venerable shook his head and sighed. "What saddens me is that I might not be able to see her one more time..."

"Three years?" Mu Ruyue frowned, then relaxed. "I will, within these three years, refine an elixir that will allow you to breakthrough."

"What did you say?"

The Grey-clothed Venerable’s eyes widened in astonishment as he stared at Mu Ruyue’s calm face. "You said you could help me breakthrough within three years?"

"I cannot guarantee success, but I will do my utmost!"

Three years is a very short time for a cultivator and can pass in the blink of an eye. However, she only has three years, so the urgency to increase her strength is even greater.

...

In the banquet hall, everyone looked at Mu Ruyue, who walked out unscathed, with shock in their hearts...

She... She came out alive?

The Grey-clothed Venerable actually let her go?

How can this be possible?

As everyone was in a state of shock, a figure in grey clothes appeared in front of them...

"Grey-clothed Venerable, what... what is going on here?" Chen Yi suppressed the resentment in his heart and asked, "She violated the regulations. Why are you shielding her?"

"Regulations?"

The Grey-clothed Venerable sneered coldly. "Do you have any evidence that she harmed someone from your Chen Family? Besides, these regulations were set by me. Do I need to consult your opinion on how I handle them? Moreover, I have an announcement to make at today’s gathering!"

His voice paused before continuing. "I am going to gift the Beifeng Plain as a welcoming gift to Miss Yue. No one is to contest this."

He was not intending to give it back to the Academy, but had gifted it to Mu Ruyue.

This meant the Divine Academy had no right to forcibly reclaim Beifeng Plain from her!

"Girl, are you satisfied with your master’s decision?" The Grey-clothed Venerable turned his head to Mu Ruyue with a somewhat ingratiating smile, "If you are, then... call me master for everyone to hear."

Boom!

A thunderclap resounded from the sky, exploding in everyone’s hearts.

For a moment, they doubted their ears, staring in amazement at the handsome face of the Grey-clothed Venerable...

Did they hear wrong?

The Grey-clothed Venerable wants to give Beifeng Plain to Mu Ruyue? And, he even calls himself master?

Chen Yi’s face turned pale as a sheet, his body swaying, nearly collapsing to the ground...
