Chapter 466: Chapter 468: Continuing Past Relations

Chu Ge said that even if she didn’t mention it, he had already planned to help treat her legs.

Chu Ge stretched out his hand and leaned forward to pick up the meticulously packaged box.

The box was not light, made of sandalwood. After removing the outer wrapping paper, inside was a very delicately carved box with intricate patterns, especially the pattern on the lid of the box, depicting a dragon soaring with such clarity that even its whiskers were vividly visible.

Chu Ge touched the box and felt a sense of familiarity with the pattern, "Where did you get this box from?"

Mu Qing, not noticing Chu Ge’s expression, furrowed her brows and thought for a moment, then said to Chu Ge: "This box was given to me by the master who handed me the secret manual."

Mu Qing looked puzzled at him, and asked, "What’s wrong?"

Chu Ge shook his head, as if trying to confirm his suspicions, quickly opened the box without even glancing at the secret manual inside, and directly pulled out the manual, then flipped open the inner compartment of the box...

Chu Ge’s eyes widened in shock as he looked at the bottom of the box, on which four characters were printed—- "Supreme Unrivaled."

The handwriting was sloppy, and the character for ’supreme’ had been written over several times, making one stroke particularly thick.

It’s him!

This box belonged to him!

Chu Ge set the box aside, picked up the secret manual, and glanced at it. The font was difficult to recognize, but he immediately knew what was written.

"Where did you get this secret manual from?" Chu Ge’s voice couldn’t hide his excitement.

Mu Qing was a bit stunned. She didn’t know why Chu Ge suddenly became so excited, but she still truthfully answered, "I found it in the mountains after getting lost there once."

Chu Ge’s voice tightened as he asked, "Near a small creek?"

Mu Qing was even more stunned, puzzled as she looked at Chu Ge, somewhat astonished, "How did you know?"

Chu Ge’s lips curved into a slight smile, he breathed out softly, "This book is actually not much of a secret manual. It’s a scripture that Master Guangde gave to my grandfather. It contains a mental method that can be very helpful for an Innate Grandmaster, no wonder the Black Witch Sect is so desperate to get it."

According to what he knew, recently several people in the Black Witch Sect had broken through to the Innate Grandmaster level by practicing some secret technique.

Because their breakthrough was too rapid, their Inner Strength couldn’t keep up, hence they needed this mental method to enhance their own powers.

Mu Qing was shocked, "No wonder I couldn’t understand this secret manual at all; it turns out to be just a Heart Sutra!"

Mu Qing was a Postnatal Martial Artist, she had been guided by a master to open her governor and conception vessels by a stroke of luck, and had stayed in the Late Postnatal stage for years, never breaking through to Great Perfection.

That she didn’t understand this was quite normal.

But thinking that she almost killed herself and caused unrest in her home for just a Heart Sutra made her feel particularly unworthy.

Even now, she felt that deciding to auction this book was a wise choice.

"By the way, since you can understand this scripture, do you know what exactly is discussed in it?"

Mu Qing asked with some curiosity.

She really wanted to break through to Great Perfection, but these years she had been stuck, unable to find any breakthrough.

Chu Ge flipped through a few pages and although he recognized the characters, there were still many words he couldn’t fully understand. Chu Ge slightly shook his head, "Perhaps it’s because I’ve lost all my martial arts skills, or maybe because I haven’t achieved the breakthrough to Innate Grandmaster, there are many words here that still need to be deciphered."

Mu Qing’s brows showed her disappointment. She nodded slightly and uttered an "oh" before saying, "So Mr. Chu, does this mean our cooperation has been established?"

Chu Ge nodded slightly, "Yes."

The disappointment on Mu Qing’s face was instantly replaced by joy. She maintained a proper smile and nodded slightly, "Thank you, Mr. Chu."

Thus, Chu Ge obtained the secret manual and also reached an understanding with Mu Qing.

He tucked the secret manual into his bosom and then bade farewell to Mu Qing.

Right as Chu Ge reached the door, he heard Mu Qing calling him back, "Mr. Chu, I’ve booked a restaurant for tonight, why don’t you stay and have a simple meal with me?"

Chu Ge stood at the door, looked back at her, and then said, "There’s no need for dinner, I’m in a hurry to get back to Su City."

Mu Qing laughed, "From Dang City to Su City it’s only a one and a half hour journey, very close. Anyway, as a woman, I can’t really drink, and it’s just a simple meal, it shouldn’t take up too much of your time."

Chu Ge still hesitated, especially considering Zhao Wuji, thinking about his relationship with her made Chu Ge feel somewhat awkward.

It seemed like Mu Qing saw through Chu Ge’s thoughts and chuckled dreamily, "Mr. Chu, are you worried about me and Zhao Er feeling awkward?"

Zhao Er?

Chu Ge was taken aback.

"Zhao Er is Zhao Wuji’s nickname. Ever since he went to university, very few people call him Zhao Er anymore, especially after entering society, and gaining fame in Shanghai, even fewer people know his nickname."

The corners of Chu Ge’s lips twitched, realizing Zhao Wuji also had such an old-fashioned name.

"You don’t find it awkward being with Zhao Wuji?"

After all, they were once so deeply in love. Isn’t there a saying that two people can only be friends because they had never loved each other deeply?

Mu Qing saw the somewhat awkward expression on Chu Ge’s face and knew that Zhao Wuji must have said something about them in front of him, probably something about them being star-crossed lovers!

"Mr. Chu, don’t just believe Zhao Er’s side of the story. We parted ways amicably and there is no owing between us."

Mu Qing knew that Zhao Wuji probably felt his grandfather’s death was still a sore point in his heart.

Thus, he attributed everything to himself, but the matter from back then was also her responsibility. As the saying goes, it takes two to tangle, and that mistake was made by both of them.

Mu Qing’s lips curled into a slightly bitter smile, "Besides, it’s been so many years since then, our children have already settled down, what awkwardness could there possibly be between us?"

Chu Ge was puzzled, but from Zhao Wuji’s demeanor just now, it was obvious that he still harbored deep feelings for Mu Qing.

Mu Qing coughed lightly, gave an embarrassed smile, and said, "This old man just wants to rekindle our past relationship. These days he has come to Dang City to see me several times, but at our age, how could I possibly agree to him?"
