Chapter 323 Has He Come Too?

At this moment, in the Yun Family of South City.

In a secluded courtyard at the back of the ancient Yun Family residence, a girl wrapped in a white fringed scarf sat by a fireplace, her beautiful eyes gazing blankly at the snow-filled night sky above the courtyard.

A fierce gust of cold wind blew past, scattering her black hair and revealing half of her exquisite face.

Five months had passed, and the once vibrant and proud girl seemed to have become more serene, yet her beauty had become even more breathtaking.

She sat there in her white dress under the lamplight, exuding an ethereal charm that captivated the soul.

Yunzhe held his breath as he approached. She turned her head slightly and closed her phone.

"You came?"

Yunzhe glanced at the phone in her hand and asked lightly, "Did Ji Ming call you again?"

"He said it was a wrong number," Yun Mu replied, pausing before adding, "But his tone was off. Yunzhe, did something happen?"

She was always so perceptive.

Yunzhe hesitated for a moment before speaking honestly, "The Huanyuan Family recently recognized their long-lost eldest son, Yi Jue."

Yun Mu's expression faltered slightly.

Yi Jue, Huo Tingying?

Has he come to the Southern Mystic Continent too?

Didn't he say he didn't want to return to the Huanyuan Family? Why did he come back now?

Hearing his name after five months sent a sharp pain through Yun Mu's heart. It felt like a lifetime had passed in just those few months.

After a brief moment of distraction, Yun Mu regained her composure.

"He has the blood of both the Yi and Huanyuan Families; returning to the Southern Mystic Continent is normal."

Yunzhe looked at her and continued, "He attended the Ji Family banquet today to introduce his girlfriend, Liu Ling."

Liu Ling, is that A'Ling?

"Isn't A'Ling from a branch of the Yi Family?"

Yun Mu had previously investigated A'Ling's background. With the same blood disorder, she was undoubtedly from the Yi Family.

"Her mother, Liu Yan, couldn't bear children, so she adopted a daughter from her brother, which is A'Ling. A'Ling's father, Yi Chengdong, disliked her because she wasn't his biological daughter and often mistreated her. Since Yi Chengdong was only from a branch of the Yi Family, A'Ling suffered constant bullying. The first thing Yi Jue did upon returning to the Southern Mystic Continent was to expose A'Ling's true identity and send her back to the Liu Family, announcing their relationship."

So that's how it is.

Ha, sending A'Ling back to the Liu Family just to announce their relationship.

After all, if A'Ling stayed in the Yi Family, she would be his cousin.

Yun Mu showed no emotion on her face, but her heart ached deeply.

"Yun Mu, now that he's also in the Southern Mystic Continent, you..."

"Wherever he is, it doesn't concern me," Yun Mu said firmly. "I used to love him, and he once saved my life. So I gave him my eyes in exchange for his life, making us even. From now on, we have nothing to do with each other."

Yunzhe looked at her lifeless eyes, feeling a pang of sorrow.

"Don't worry, I'll cure your eyes soon."

Yun Mu responded with a faint "Mm" and added, "Now that you're managing the Yun Family, you must be very busy. There's no need to spend extra time on my eyes; I can treat them myself. Instead, you should focus on managing the family. If you want to become the head, I can..."

"I don't want to!" Yunzhe suddenly raised his voice, his tone filled with anger. "This Yun Family is your responsibility. Get better quickly and manage it yourself!"

With that, he turned and left the courtyard.

Yun Mu, "..."

Is he crazy?

When we were kids, he always competed with me, just to become the head of the Yun Family. Now that I'm willing to step down, why won't he take it?

What's wrong with him!

Yun Mu shrugged and lazily leaned back, drifting off to sleep by the fireplace.

Just as she was about to fall asleep, the door to the courtyard burst open, and Ji Ming rushed in.

"A'Mu! A'Mu! How can you sleep here? It's so windy tonight! That bastard Yunzhe is definitely mistreating you; I'll fight him!"

Yun Mu grabbed his arm, "I'm not cold. Wasn't it Ji Shu's birthday party tonight? Why are you here?"

Ji Ming remembered his purpose, "I came to tell you something. Do you know who I saw at the banquet today..."

"Huo Tingying?" Yun Mu smiled. "He should be called Yi Jue now."

Ji Ming was taken aback, "How did you know? Do you know he also..."

"Brought a girlfriend, A'Ling." Yun Mu interrupted him, smiling. "I already know. It's not a big deal; no need to rush over like this."

She lowered her head, her eyes unfocused.

For a moment, Ji Ming couldn't tell whether she was truly indifferent or simply hiding her sadness.

"A'Mu, you don't have to pretend with me. If you're sad, you can cry. Or if you still can't let go of Huo... Yi Jue, I can knock him out and tie him to your bed. Although I really don't want to..."

Yun Mu smiled. "Can you beat him?"

"A-Mu, if you don't love me, that's fine, but you also look down on me." Ji Ming felt wronged.

Yun Mu picked up a medicine box nearby and handed it to Ji Ming.

"I'm just being honest. You were seriously injured last time; these medicines are what I prepared for you. Come back when you've finished them."

"It's still A-Mu who cares about me."

Ji Ming happily took it and said flatteringly, "By the way, I see you cooped up in this small courtyard all day, almost growing moldy. I found something for you to do. How about becoming a lecturer at South City University?"

Mainly, he always felt that Yunzhe had hidden A-Mu in this small courtyard with ulterior motives; he had to take A-Mu out!

Yun Mu was slightly taken aback. "I'm blind; what can I teach as a lecturer?"

"With your skills, you can teach whatever you want, whatever you like."

Yun Mu smiled. "A few months ago, I was just an ordinary college student at Imperial Capital University; now you want me to be a university lecturer."

"That's different. In the Southern Mystic Continent, you're like a god. Of course, you can't be an ordinary student. What do you say, want to give it a try?"

A god?

Just a fallen deity, that's all.

Yun Mu gave a bitter smile inwardly and then said, "Alright, I'll give it a try. I can teach some medical courses. Help me communicate with the school, but don't force them."

"Force them? They'd be thrilled! When I mentioned you becoming a lecturer, the president of South City University was overjoyed, promising you national treasure-level treatment!"

"Alright. But tell the school to treat me like any other lecturer. I don't want any special treatment."

"Okay." Ji Ming nodded.

Before leaving, Ji Ming couldn't help but ask again.

"A-Mu, you might meet Yi Jue in the future. Are you really not bothered by it anymore?"

Yun Mu shook his head. "Not anymore."

Ji Ming didn't quite believe it but eventually turned and left.
