Adopting A Stray Cat Chapter 1022: The Talking Mute

Chapter 1022: Chapter 1022: The Talking Mute

Qin Sisi was startled by Xiao ng’s words: "That doesn’t sound good, what if Teacher Ru Lin sees us..."

"Oh, she won’t. We just have to be careful." Xiao ng unhesitantly pulled Qin Sisi towards Tianmu Mountain, persuading her along the way, "Don’t you want to properly learn forging skills? Master Shuoyu is the most skilled forging master in Demon Sacred Realm. Hearing a single word from him is worth ten years of study. No, it’s worth forging a hundred longswords."

Qin Sisi couldn’t help but smile wryly, but Xiao ng’s words truly moved her. She really did hope to receive guidance from Shuoyu, so in the end, the two of them stealthily snuck into Tianmu Mountain.

As they drew closer to the peak, Xiao ng took out two stalks of Invisible Grass, giving one to Qin Sisi and using one herself.

One after another, they released their magic power, activating the Invisible Grass, and their figures turned transparent, blending in with the air.

After circling the mountaintop, they realized they might have beco invisible a bit too early. For so reason, there was not a single soul on Tianmu Mountain.

Even though the teachers at Heavenly Magic God’s Castle don’t use as many servants as the clan leader young ladies from the big families, there were still a few servants handling miscellaneous chores around. When Qin Sisi and the others were in class, Ru Lin’s servants even helped them prepare the props needed for the lessons.

Today, Tianmu Mountain seed unusually quiet, and they could guess that this probably had sothing to do with that genius forgemaster.

Finally, they reached the vicinity of Luoying Forest and saw the figure of Teacher Ru Lin. She was dressed, as always, in a long greenish-blue dress, graceful and elegant. Beside her was another person, none other than Master Shuoyu himself.

He was still in his white clothes, like frost and snow, sitting dignified in a wheelchair. Unlike last ti, there was no tall, burly man standing behind him.

The weather was warming up, and the trees in Luoying Forest were blossoming. One bloom, then two, three, and four, countless flowers were competing to open first on the branches, sweet fragrance pervading the air.

Beneath the dazzling canopy of blossoms, two figures, one in white, the other in green, one seated, the other standing, as if in a painting.

Now, even the pure-minded Qin Sisi couldn’t help but acknowledge that there was sothing unusual between Master Shuoyu and Teacher Ru Lin.

Xiao ng was even more excited, tugging at Qin Sisi to carefully approach. Shielded by the invisibility of the Invisible Grass, they silently moved closer to the two figures, who looked as if they were painted.

"You... do... not... like... it?"

A very awkward and strained voice suddenly rose. Qin Sisi and Xiao ng were both shocked.

Of course, it wasn’t Ru Lin’s voice, nor was it theirs. That left only one possibility: it was Shuoyu speaking.

But wasn’t he mute? How could he possibly be talking?

They stared intently at Shuoyu’s mouth, afraid to miss out on this major secret.

Ru Lin, unaware of the presence of the two mischievous girls, heard Shuoyu’s question and gave a slight glance to the box next to her, replying indifferently, "I have clothes to wear."

Then Shuoyu spoke again: "What about... the... other one?"

This ti Qin Sisi and Xiao ng finally saw clearly, beyond any doubt, it was Shuoyu who was speaking. They exchanged a dumbfounded look, both full of questions.

At this mont, Ru Lin spoke again, "Too extravagant. When have you ever seen

wearing such flashy jewelry?"

Qin Sisi and Xiao ng glanced at her side and discovered two large boxes beside her. One was filled with brand-new clothes, all in shades of teal, which was Ru Lin’s favorite color.

The other large box contained a variety of jewelry: headdresses, necklaces, bracelets... They were all glittering and gleaming gold, dazzling to the eyes.

Although they were indeed a bit too flashy, as Teacher Ru Lin said, a closer look would reveal that these pieces of jewelry were expert forging items, made with exquisite materials and delicate craftsmanship, definitely not cheap.

Qin Sisi felt that these clothes and jewelry must have been crafted by Shuo Yu himself.

"Then, what do you... like?" Shuo Yu spoke again.

His voice was even more hoarse and strained than that of an ordinary person, and he spoke very awkwardly, like a baby who had just learned to talk.

Yet, his clothes were whiter than snow, and his gaze was clearer than crystal. Quietly sitting there, he lifted his head and earnestly looked at Ru Lin. The breeze ruffled his silvery-white hair, strand by strand, inexplicably stirring a sense of heartache.

Ru Lin’s eyes reddened. She walked over to Shuo Yu, crouched down before him, lifted her head to lock eyes with him for a mont, and then slowly leaned her head against his knee.

"You really... don’t know?" Ru Lin’s voice was as soft as petals falling from a branch.

Shuo Yu opened his mouth, but no sound ca out. Instead, he lifted his hand and gently stroked Ru Lin’s hair, over and over.

Qin Sisi felt she couldn’t bear to watch this scene any longer. It was too beautiful yet too sorrowful. Such privacy was not ant for their prying eyes.

She tugged on Xiao ng, signaling her to leave, but Xiao ng, driven by curiosity, did not want to leave. They tussled for a bit, inadvertently making so noise.

Ru Lin’s expression changed instantly. She stood up, swiped her palm, and a pale green Magic Light swept toward the source of the noise.

The Invisible Grass, struck by the Magic Light, withered in an instant, losing its effectiveness. Being of the Muyin family, Ru Lin was well aware of the strengths and weaknesses of Invisible Grass.

Qin Sisi’s and Xiao ng’s figures were revealed, and both were extrely embarrassed, wishing they could just disappear into the ground.

However, the person who felt more awkward was not them, but Ru Lin, whose privacy had been invaded.

"You two..." Ru Lin, both shy and irritated, pointed at Qin Sisi and Xiao ng, too angry to speak.

Seen by her students in an intimate mont with another, how could she face teaching class in the future?

"Ru... Teacher Ru Lin, we didn’t see anything," Xiao ng stamred in defense, trying to drag Qin Sisi away.

Her words only aggravated Ru Lin more. Seeing them attempt to flee, Ru Lin’s face darkened, her arm swept outward, and a vine as thick as a wrist shot out, securely tying up Xiao ng, one tendril even gagging her mouth, silencing her completely.

Qin Sisi panicked, realizing Teacher Ru Lin was truly angry. She quickly bowed her head in apology, urgently saying, "Teacher Ru Lin, please don’t bla Xiao ng. It was my idea to co here. I saw Master Shuoyu’s flying device at the foot of the mountain. I had a brief encounter with Master Shuoyu on the flying device before. Xiao ng said he’s the greatest forgemaster in the Demon Sacred Realm, so I really hoped to receive his guidance. That’s why I dragged her up here in search of him; it wasn’t to purposefully intrude on your privacy. But regardless, it was wrong of us to enter Tianmu Mountain without permission. I am willing to accept any punishnt. Please spare Xiao ng."
