Chapter 581: Chapter 581 Identity 1 Chapter 581: Chapter 581 Identity 1 The Great Elder listened, a smile playing on his face.

He spoke, “I find you quite pleasing to the eye, can you remove your veil and let me have a look?”

The implication was that he wanted to select Mu Lingyun as his disciple.

Mu Lingyun heard this, a faint smile on her face as she said quietly, “Thank you, Great Elder, for your appreciation.”

Saying this, she was about to remove her veil.

The crowd standing beside Mu Lingyun heard this, and a look of disappointment appeared on their faces.

However, seeing the Great Elder asking Mu Lingyun to remove her veil, their faces also showed a trace of anticipation.

At that moment, Su Mingzhu suddenly rushed into the hall from outside and said to the Great Elder, “Great Elder, you cannot accept Mu Lingyun as your disciple, she actually knows nothing, she can’t even distinguish medicinal herbs! She cheated during the test.”

Upon hearing Su Mingzhu’s words, everyone looked towards her.

Including the Great Elder.

Upon hearing this, Mu Lingyun’s movement to remove her veil halted.

The Great Elder slightly furrowed his brow and looked at Su Mingzhu, asking quietly, “How do you know this?”

Su Mingzhu frowned and replied, “Earlier, I lived in the Taoist temple, and she would often come to visit me, so I naturally know her. From our previous interactions, I knew she knew nothing about medicine! How could a person suddenly know medicine and even come first in the test? So, she must have cheated.”

The Great Elder looked at Mu Lingyun and asked in a low voice, “What do you say?”

Mu Lingyun glanced at Su Mingzhu, a slight cold smile playing on her lips, “I don’t know her!”

“You’re lying! We clearly know each other!” Su Mingzhu said, glaring at Mu Lingyun.

Mu Lingyun’s lips curled slightly, “Since you insist we know each other, then I’ll ask you a few questions to see if you can answer them?”

Su Mingzhu’s brows knitted together, but to prevent Mu Lingyun from becoming the Great Elder’s disciple, she still nodded and said, “Ask.”

“Where is my home?” Mu Lingyun asked quietly.

“Below the Taoist temple.”

“How often do I go up the mountain?”

“Often, every two or three days.”

“What was I doing the first time we met when I went up the mountain?”

“Picking herbs!”

Mu Lingyun scoffed, then said to the Great Elder, “I’ve finished asking.”

The Great Elder nodded, looking at Mu Lingyun with a somewhat kindly smile.

Su Mingzhu furrowed her brows, unsure of what it meant.

“Great Elder, I have answered everything. I really do know her; believe me!” Su Mingzhu said.

The Great Elder looked at Su Mingzhu, a cold laugh escaping his lips, “Young lady, if your mind isn’t sharp, don’t try to deceive others like others do; it’s no good for you!”

Su Mingzhu heard this and furrowed her brows deeply.

An apprentice beside them spoke, “How can you be so foolish and still be the crown princess? Didn’t you say she doesn’t know medicine? That she doesn’t recognize medicinal herbs? Then how could you say she went to pick herbs? Are you foolish?”

Su Mingzhu heard this and felt speechless for a moment.

Mu Yun truly did not understand medicine, nor did she understand medicinal herbs.

But as she spoke earlier, she had swapped their identities.

It was Su Mingzhu who went up the mountain to pick herbs and met Mu Yun.

If she didn’t switch their identities in her statement, wouldn’t her own identity be exposed? That would bring even bigger troubles.

Yet, after switching it around, she failed to react in time.

Her face looked somewhat unsightly, she was so close to stopping Mu Lingyun from becoming the Great Elder’s disciple, but it all fell through at the last moment, which was infuriating!
