The reason Grand Elder asked this was because in today's meeting, the one who was absent was not only Mu Furong, but also Yun Yufei.

"I don't know." Bai Ruyue spoke the truth but Grand Elder was surprised. "You don't know? "That brat is so close to you. Didn't you also get along well with him …"

"Grand Elder, I am only friends with him." Bai Ruyue hurriedly explained.

"Come on! I'm already an old man, do you really think I'm blind? I know, you are afraid of Hibiscus! " Grand Elder sighed:

"Sigh, Furong, this child is too stubborn. If Yufei is interested in her, why would he treat her so courteously? Actually, it's not that she doesn't know, it's just that she can't let it go! "

"Grand Elder …"

"Bai Ruyue, you better not make a fuss about it with Hibiscus! I accepted Yufei as my disciple, so other than me, there's only him in the Medicinal Valley. Although Hanyu was also accepted by me, he is after all a person from the Qi Kingdom, so Hibiscus could not marry outside, and therefore could not get close to him, that's why … "

"Senior Brother Han is from the Qi Kingdom?" Bai Ruyue was a little surprised.

Eighteen States used to have seven nations, but after the invasion of the demon race over five hundred years ago, only five nations remained: Qi, Jing, Lu, Hai, and Zhao.

Bai Ruyue hadn't been at the Eighteen States for a long time. Although she had sneaked back from the lower realms a hundred years ago, she wasn't clear on the specifics of the state's position in the Eighteen States.

Among the five nations, the Qi Kingdom is the strongest, possessing six continents.

The two states of Lu came next, with four continents each.

The two with the smallest area were Zhao and Hai, one was three continents, the other was one continent.

However, that continent of the Ocean Country was a large island in the sea, so even though it seemed to be the weakest of them, because it was independent on the outside and far away from the border, it had long since become indifferent, as people were accustomed to it.

Therefore, the so-called five kingdoms were like the existence of four kingdoms.

Cloud Sea Island was the territory of Chao Guo. It was also known as the Southern Region, Ba Province, and belonged to the southern region.

Furthermore, because it just so happened to be in the sea region adjacent to the Ocean Nation, and because it had been taken over by the Demon race, the entire Chao Guo was actually a southern border, and as a result, South Zhao had a more appropriate name: the Southern Wilderness.

During the year-round battles, the nation's power was almost all used up to fight the demon barbarians, so the development prospects of Chao Guo was naturally not too good.

However, the neighboring Qi Kingdom was rich and powerful because it was located in the center of the Eighteen States, and it was also stable and stable.

Every year, Qi Kingdom would give a certain amount of silver to help Chao Guo.

This was equivalent to giving "wages" for the Chao Guo, allowing it to still defend this ocean.

However, even though this type of attachment was undoubtedly the most realistic and optimal choice, it made the people of Chao Guo feel as if they were dogs leg of Qi Kingdom, as if they were little brothers.

This kind of feeling hurt too much for their self-esteem, so everyone was generally resistant to Qi Kingdom.

When people with Qi Kingdom met people with Chao Guo, they would usually act like a superior person and act like a master, which caused people to feel disgusted.

So when Bai Ruyue found out that Han Yu was actually from the Qi Kingdom, she was very surprised. Even though Han Yu had an icy face, and was not very intimate, when he helped her back then, it wasn't that annoying.

"He's from the Qi Kingdom, and his talent isn't low either. However, he's a person who was exiled by the Qi Kingdom, and we don't know the specifics, but we can be sure that he was implicated due to the sin of his family."

Grand Elder patted Bai Ruyue's shoulder: "If you are interested in Yufei, take care to cherish him. I love Hibiscus, but I won't forget about disciple's heart for my granddaughter's willfulness."

"Grand Elder, thank you for your love, but I really have nothing to do with Young Master Yun. Maybe he had a good impression of me before, but I believe that it was only a moment of confusion.

"Oh?" Grand Elder had an astonished face, "Is what you said true? Don't you like him? "

"I don't like it."

Grand Elder opened his mouth in shock, but then laughed involuntarily: "Interesting, everyone likes the Young Master Yun, but you don't, girl, aren't you thinking too highly of yourself?"

Bai Ruyue could not help but sigh in her heart:

High sight? Not necessarily!

She had seen the splendor of the sun, so how could she be moved by the radiance of the moon?

Moreover, with Yun Yufei's current power, he could only be considered as a star!

More importantly, her heart was already filled with love. No matter how outstanding someone else was, it had nothing to do with her!

"I'm not a child, and I'm not infatuated with the wind and dust. My life desires nothing but the great Dao."

Bai Ruyue openly said her farewells and left in front of the Grand Elder's appreciative eyes.

"This girl is extraordinary!"

For a total of ten days, Bai Ruyue concentrated on stationed the Pill Sect's pill room as she worked hard at learning.

Occasionally, when he left the Pill Sect, he would head to various auction houses to purchase medicinal ingredients to truly master some basic pill formulas.

In the past ten days, she did not return to the Bai Mansion, but was extremely stubborn. She would wait for her father, who was so cheap, to apologize to her before she went back.

And during these ten days, Overseer did not harass her again, just like how she did something to provoke him after dinner, the two of them had never met again.

During the same ten days, everyone was busy with their own matters:

City Lord Yun was busy with meetings every day, looking for various families to discuss how to choose a suitable successor for the Lu Family Industry.

Bai Changwu was busy going in and out of the house, as though he was looking for a buyer for the herbs produced in Herb Mountain, completely ignoring the fact that Lady Baiyan had gone back to his parents' house.

Lady Baiyan, on the other hand, was busy on the streets of Cloud Sea City, inquiring about everything there was to know about the Overseer and his wife.

Compared to their work, some people seemed to be silent.

Yun Yufei didn't use his Pill Sect again.

Mu Furong also did not appear the entire time, so Bai Ruyue agreed that she was using her temper.

The Overseer did not make a move, Bai Ruyue believed that he was busy with planning.

In short, ten days had passed in the blink of an eye.

First of all, in these ten days, she had read a large number of basic tier books, so she had a better understanding of pill refining.

Secondly, Overseer had shown her < Alchemy Fire > that day, allowing her to grasp the trick and the precautions to take when raising a alchemy fire. Thus, in these past few days, she had chosen to concoct pills in a very orderly manner.

Within her Pill Palace, not only did the pill rack already have five rows of pill scrolls, the fire beneath the cauldron had also finally become as wide as four fingers!

Bai Ruyue was very satisfied with her harvest.

However, thinking that it was fine if her father didn't come to apologize, but her mother also didn't come to ask, so she couldn't help but stay.

It's already been ten days. Father should have already brought Mother back from home, right? But why was there no movement?

No, I have to go back and see my mother.

Bai Ruyue thought to herself as she exited the pill room, preparing to return to the Bai Mansion. But who knew that just as she went downstairs, she was surrounded by seven or eight people before she left.
