Chapter 98

For Ma Pi, Mu Qingxue was not just the object of his admiration but also the object of his worship. Her shining aura was simply too much.

At the same age of eighteen or nineteen, she was like an NPC in a game with cheats enabled. Her academic performance was outstanding, and her martial arts cultivation far surpassed his by a wide margin. Moreover, the things she was doing were beyond what even his father might be capable of.

Swallowing the surrounding noble families and integrating them into the Mu family system;

Dismembering listed companies and selling them for profit;

Even more incredibly, personally driving a yacht to lead people out to sea to hunt the mysterious creatures with claws.

The things she did were beyond what Ma Pi could even imagine.

This was truly a life winner.

And now, this ice-cold beauty was standing right in front of him. If it weren't for his father, Ma Pi would have probably already taken out a pen and paper to ask for an autograph.

Of course, as a normal man, he couldn't help but have some fantasies. If he could get a girl of this level, he wondered what it would feel like. Tsk, tsk.

Unfortunately, he would never have the chance. A girl like Mu Qingxue could only be within the reach of the young masters of the noble families in the capital or Songjiang. The Ma family, though large, was just an ordinary family in the entire Huaxia country.

Moreover, he had heard that as early as twenty years ago, the Zhong family and the Mu family had already agreed to become in-laws.

Zhong Chuyun, the son of the Zhong family, was the president of the martial arts club at Yanjing University, and was said to be the first person to advance to the Yellow level before the age of twenty-five, a true genius among geniuses.

He and Mu Qingxue were a perfect match.

While he was lost in thought, Mu Qingxue's gaze shifted back to him. She glanced at him, her cherry lips curved slightly, and she asked indifferently, "You are Ma Pi?"

Her voice was smooth and clear, unlike the locals who always mispronounced his name as "Ma Pi," which made him feel speechless.

Hearing the goddess speak, Ma Pi immediately snapped back to reality, nodded, and flattered her, "Yes, it's me. I have long admired Miss Mu, and today, seeing you in person, you are truly a celestial being."

Mu Qingxue didn't show much expression, just smiled faintly, "Thank you for the compliment."

After saying that, she didn't say more and sat down in a nearby seat.

The smiling Lu Butler then came forward and explained, "My young lady has just returned from a tour of the South Asian countries. She happened to pass by Nanling and decided to visit your esteemed residence to learn more about her future place of study. I hope you can understand any inconvenience this may cause."

Ma Wei immediately smiled, "Not at all, Miss Mu's visit to our humble abode is a great honor. Please treat this place as your home. My father is currently out, so if there are any shortcomings in our hospitality, please forgive us. If you have any needs, feel free to let me know, and I will do my best."

"Thank you!" Mu Qingxue's lips curved, and she slightly bowed from her seat.

This arrogant attitude, if shown by anyone else, would have made Ma Pi want to beat them up. But because it was Mu Qingxue, he didn't feel offended at all. Instead, he thought it was the queen's style, amazing! Very amazing! It was a pleasure to watch.

"By the way, Miss Mu, Mr. Lu just mentioned that you want to learn more about your future place of study. What do you mean by that?" Ma Wei suddenly remembered what the Lu Butler had said about her wanting to learn more about her future place of study.

Mu Qingxue said indifferently, "Uncle Ma, it's like this. After the college entrance exam this year, I plan to apply to Nanling University. I want to check out the geographical environment here first to see if I, a northerner, can adapt."

"I see..." Ma Wei suddenly realized, but then he was surprised, "With Miss Mu's talent, prestigious universities like Jinghua University, Yanjing, or Songjiang University would be more fitting. Why would you choose to attend Nanling University, which is far less well-known?"

Ma Pi also paid full attention. Mu Qingxue was giving up the most famous universities in the capital or Songjiang and choosing to attend Nanling University, which was far less renowned than Jinghua or Yanjing.

This was too unbelievable.

Her level was such that she could easily enter any Ivy League university in the world, so why did she choose an ordinary Nanling University?

Hearing this, Mu Qingxue smiled lightly, "Where I study and whether I study is not important to me. I am determined to travel the world. Although Nanling University is not as prestigious as Jinghua or Yanjing, or even Songjiang University, the Jiangnan region is rich in talent. I want to see for myself, so I plan to stay here for half a year or a year. If I find it not worth staying, I will leave..."

These words left Ma Wei and Ma Pi speechless.

How arrogant!

In Ma Pi's understanding, she meant that she wanted to test the level of Nanling University and would leave if it was unsatisfactory.

In other words, Nanling University was only worth her staying for half a year or a year.

On the surface, she was answering his father, but in reality, her words seemed to have a deeper meaning, likely directed at Feng Yingruo.

Feng Yingruo was currently the recognized top talent in the Haixi region, scoring 746 out of 750 in the mock exam, the highest score in the history of the Haixi region and Huaxia.

If she took the college entrance exam, with the bonus points for being a martial artist, it was reasonable to believe that Feng Yingruo might set a new record for the highest college entrance exam score in history.

Feng Yingruo had already decided to attend the Phoenix College of Nanling University.

So if Mu Qingxue came, it was undoubtedly to challenge Feng Yingruo.

Nanruo and Beixue, the two top talents from the south and north, would undoubtedly clash at Nanling University.

Too exciting. Ma Pi immediately made up his mind not to apply to Yanjing University. He would stay in Haizhong District and enter Nanling University to watch the two goddesses compete.

"Uncle Ma, it seems you have something important to discuss. We won't disturb you then." Mu Qingxue, after answering, prepared to leave.

Ma Wei's eyes twinkled, and he laughed, "Miss Mu, you're being too formal. The Ma family has no secrets from you. We happen to have some questions and can also seek your advice."

Ma Wei thought that if he could bring Mu Qingxue into this, it would be beneficial for the matter at hand.

Ma Wei's thoughts were different from Ma Pi's. He believed that Mu Qingxue's only goal for coming to Haizhong District was the Feng Ying family.

Moreover, from her words, it seemed she planned to dismantle the Feng Ying family within half a year or a year.

The alliance between the Ma family, the Zhong family, and the Mu family was no longer a secret. Now, with this female strategist present, whether she could help or not, as long as he could tie her to his cause, it would be a significant step forward.

After saying that, Ma Wei had Ma Pi recount the events of the day.

Mu Qingxue didn't leave but listened very attentively to the entire story. Afterward, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she didn't offer an opinion, only saying indifferently, "This Ning Yi is quite interesting."

Ma Pi and Ma Wei exchanged glances, and Ma Wei asked, "Miss Mu, with your extensive knowledge, do you think it's possible that the old man Feng Yingkong is secretly supporting him?"

Mu Qingxue smiled faintly, "If Feng Yingkong wanted to support him, why would he hide it?"
