158: Wu Mushuang

"Do you know her?"

"I wouldn't say I know her."

"Who is she?"

"Old Wu's daughter."

"Who is Old Wu?"

"My teammate... he's already dead."

"So, were you entrusted with her care?"

Jiang Fei shook his head. "I wouldn't call it that..."

Chu Yuan watched quietly as the woman walked to the bar. Her face looked somewhat haggard. "Where is Dai Yang? Make him come out."

"Our boss isn't here, Young Miss Wu... would you like to drink something?"

"Not here? I don't believe it! Make Dai Yang come out to see me!"

The bartender's smile faded, and he couldn't be bothered to pay her any more mind.

This woman came every day, but the boss had long ago given instructions not to see her. If she wanted to cause trouble... just throw her out.

"Dai Yang... Dai Yang! Come out and see me! I know you're here! Come out!" The woman screamed, causing the crowd of bar patrons to cast frequent glances her way.

The manager hurried over and snapped angrily, "Hurry, someone! Throw this crazy woman who's causing trouble out!"

Behind him, several tall security guards pushed through and grabbed the woman to lead her outside...

"Aren't you going to do something?"

Jiang Fei didn't speak, but waved at the manager in the distance.

"What's the situation with this woman?"

"I apologize for disturbing your mood... she's just a crazy woman! She knew our boss before;

later, I don't know what triggered her, but she insists on having our boss give her an explanation." The manager complained, "You tell me, our boss is a dignified Sky Soaring Realm Martial Artist, what kind of explanation does he owe a weakling in the Leakless Realm?

It's only because of their past relationship that he tolerates her causing such a scene!

If it were anyone else..."

"Anyone else? Anyone without a status in the Ninth Legion?" Jiang Fei said abruptly, a mocking smirk playing on his lips.

The manager paused, sensing that something was wrong.

Indeed, this woman was a member of the Ninth Legion, so they didn't dare to truly do anything to her, at most just throwing her out.

But... how did the guest in front of him know?

He asked cautiously and defensively, "Do you know her?"

Jiang Fei didn't answer and asked instead, "How come I heard she used to be Dai Yang's lover?

And that when Dai Yang was poor and weak, she provided him with a lot of help?

What, has your boss climbed to a higher branch again?"

The manager's expression turned ugly. He was an Inner Breath Realm Martial Artist. Even though the two people in front of him didn't feel simple, was his own boss simple?

He immediately said with a fake smile, "So you two are here to stand up for that crazy woman?

In that case... excuse us, we won't serve you!

The two of you, please leave."

Chu Yuan blinked, thinking to himself, what does this have to do with me? He hadn't said anything yet.

Jiang Fei clenched his hand, shattering his wine glass, and flicked it out...

Although Wu Mushuang was struggling, her heart was deathly silent.

In fact, she knew that Dai Yang wouldn't come out to see her.

If not for his status as a Ninth Legion Martial Artist, he would have died inexplicably long ago...

But, why did it become like this?

Wu Mushuang remembered the first time she met Dai Yang. He looked honest and dull, and he even got nervous when he looked at her.

This reminded her of her father.

Under some inexplicable feeling, the two sides began to interact.

At that time, Wu Mushuang had already joined the Ninth Legion. Although a Second Realm Martial Artist was only a low-level soldier in the Ninth Legion... in the eyes of most people in Dawn City, she was already high and mighty enough!

Not all Martial Artists could join the legion, but for those who did, the minimum requirement was the Second Realm!

The process of their getting together went smoothly. Aside from her status, Wu Mushuang was also pretty.

So, it was only natural that they became a couple...

He envied Martial Artists and wanted to cultivate, but his talent wasn't enough to stand out.

Wu Mushuang used the military merit she had accumulated to exchange for a Cultivation Technique for him and earned qi and blood pills for him.

Fortunately, she had some talent in handling Alchemy Materials, which gave her an extra way to accumulate military merit...

Later, he successfully advanced to the Second Realm and joined the legion. Both of them could earn military merit and cultivate; everything was developing in a good direction.

Wu Mushuang told her father in the Dark Blade Camp this news... although she didn't know if her father had received it.

However, Dai Yang's ambition seemed to grow with his expanding horizons... or perhaps it was called motivation.

He wasn't satisfied with just being an ordinary soldier; he wanted to climb higher and become stronger!

Wu Mushuang supported him very much, so she reduced her own expenses and focused the military merit on cultivating him.

She still remembered the day he advanced to the Third Realm and successfully joined a squad... the two of them were overjoyed and spent a huge sum of money to celebrate at Tianxiang Tower...

But after the Third Realm, the help Wu Mushuang could provide to Dai Yang was limited.

So, the time Dai Yang spent executing missions outside became longer and longer, risking his life to fight... Wu Mushuang felt very distressed.

She thought she should find a way to help Dai Yang, preferably by also advancing to the Third Realm, so she could also execute some missions with high military merit.

But her military merit had all been spent on Dai Yang. If she asked Dai Yang to use his military merit to buy her cultivation resources... she felt she would hold him back.

Fortunately, a superior appreciated her talent for handling Materials and talked to her, investing a sum of resources in her, promising that after she broke through to the Inner Breath Realm, he would recruit her into his squad... An Inner Breath Realm Martial Artist could already perform Alchemy, and even if it was just refining low-level Medicinal Pills like qi and blood pills, it was an advantage and a source of income.

And the other party thought that since Wu Mushuang had talent in handling raw Materials, her talent in Alchemy might also be high...

She was overjoyed and immediately shared this with Dai Yang.

That day, Dai Yang, who was originally in closed-door cultivation, came back to find her. After learning the amount of those resources, he stammered and asked if he could use them first, saying he was at a very critical period.

Wu Mushuang said she wanted to break through quickly to help him.

Dai Yang said he would support her and take care of her in the future, and she just had to wait to enjoy the good life...

Wu Mushuang felt that wasn't good; wasn't that deceiving the superior who invested in her?

Dai Yang told her, "Just say your talent isn't good, that the resources were consumed but you didn't break through... When it comes to the Dao of Martial Arts, how can there be a 100% guarantee?"

Wu Mushuang finally agreed...

The superior who invested in her was very disappointed later, but didn't say much.

He just comforted her to cultivate well... and that was the end of it.

Although Wu Mushuang was disappointed, she felt a little relieved thinking that Dai Yang would become a strong person in the future.

Until Dai Yang advanced to the Fourth Realm.

That day he came back to find her, his expression calm.

Wu Mushuang happily went up to hug him, but was pushed away.

Then she heard a sentence:

"Your father is a sinner of the Dark Blade Camp? Why have you never mentioned it before? I don't want to be with the daughter of a sinner, and I certainly don't want to be with someone who lied to me... Let's break up."
