At the time of the dawn tide, Mu Qingge had already taken her two maids and quietly left the city to meet up with the Mu family army outside the city and return to Yicheng.

  The more you delay, the more trouble will entangle you.

  And she could never have imagined that her swift action would throw into disorder the steps of several parties in Luodu.

  ……

  Treading on the night color, Mu Qingge rode a horse, with two girls riding horses behind her, leaving the city gate of Luo Du and gradually disappearing from view.

  On the dim city wall, a tall figure stood alone, gazing at her back, yet unwilling to be discovered by her.

  Until he couldn't see it anymore, he didn't move a single bit, as if he had turned into a statue.

  Suddenly, a black-clad figure appeared beside him.

  That man in black, with an aura of murder surrounding him, seemed to have walked out from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. Yet he showed unusual respect towards the man standing in the dark corner of the city wall.

  As soon as he appeared, the man in black knelt on one knee and clasped his fists: "Your Highness, the Han family, the Emperor, and the Empress Dowager have all sent people."

  The wind blew up the long hem of the man's garment, and the light yellow fabric was not conspicuous in the darkening sky.

  His thin body seemed as if it was blown by the wind and almost fell over. After struggling to steady himself, he said, "Do you know how strong I am?"

  The man in black looked at him with some concern, as if afraid his body wouldn't hold up.

  Afterwards, he replied to his question: "According to the intelligence gathered by those under me, most of the people and horses from these three parties are in the yellow boundary and green boundary, each led by a Qing boundary initial stage."

  "Is this the power of the Azure Boundary's first stage?" Qin Jingchen's pale face revealed a hint of mocking smile, and he said disdainfully: "It's just strength gained from piling up medicine after all."

  His words were casual, but in his black and white eyes, there was a hidden worry.

  Sending someone like this to hunt down Mu Qing Ge, it seems they really want him dead.

  "Is there no news from Rui Wang's side?" Qin Jincheng suddenly asked.

  The man in black slowly shook his head and said: "After Rui Wang left the palace, he went to Chang Le Gong Zhu's mansion. After leaving the mansion, he turned back to the imperial palace again, currently there is no specific arrangement."

  Qin Jincheng's eyes flickered and he ordered: "Closely monitor Rui Wang's movements."

  The man in black nodded and accepted the order.

  Soon after, Qin Jincheng asked again: "Does Chang Le know about the cancellation of the engagement?"

  The man in black hesitated for a moment before saying, "It seems that the King of Rui went to the Princess's mansion to discuss this matter, but the reaction from the side of Princess Chang Le was very calm. After the king left, she remained in the princess's mansion and never came out."

  Qin Jincheng's eyes drooped slightly, his eyelashes trembling: "Chang Le has really moved him, although I don't know why he wants to dissolve the engagement, but he is not indifferent to Chang Le. You send someone to secretly guard Chang Le, don't let anything happen to her."

  Then he continued: "Please ask Gu Shi to personally lead people out of the city, secretly protect Mu Xiao's safety and return to Yi City. Remember, absolutely do not let her detect your presence."

  The ancient master leads the team in person?!

  The man in black was startled and looked at his master with some surprise.

  He knew that his master valued the young lord of the Mu estate greatly in his heart, but he didn't know that it was to such an extent.

  Who is Guoshi?

  The master's teacher is also a formidable figure who trained them.

  Moreover, he is a master of the Blue Boundary's higher echelons. It is said that he has already set one foot into the Purple Boundary, and it is only a matter of time before he enters the pinnacle of this continent's strongmen.

  There is an ancient master secretly protecting, sending out more people will not be enough to see!

  "Go ahead." Qin Jincheng didn't mind the surprise of his subordinate, but instead let him leave. He himself remained gazing in the direction where Mu Qingge had left, as if bidding farewell.

  ……

  Changle Princess Mansion, Qin Yiyao sat silently in her own room.

  After her imperial brother Emperor Rui brought the news from the palace, she sat there. She didn't want to believe it was true, but when the imperial edict arrived, she had no choice but to believe.

  "Princess, the maid has returned from the Mu residence. They said that Young Master is not in the residence." The maid who was sent out finally returned, but the news she brought back was still disappointing.

  Qin Yiyao's eyes dimmed and she whispered: "Don't look for it anymore, you can go down now."

  The maid retreated with some concern.

  With no outsiders around, Qin Yiyao's tears that she had been holding back finally fell from her eyes and left two clear streaks on her stunning face.

  "Why?" Qin Yiyao seemed to be asking herself, yet also appeared to be questioning Mu Qingge.

  But she was destined not to get an answer.

  She had her pride, Mu Qing Ge wouldn't easily give up on this engagement, nor would she find him and ask for an explanation like a resentful wife who's been abandoned.

  He is not in Mu Fu, and he also lets the emperor's brother come to inform her of this matter, which directly shows one point: he does not want to meet her.

  Qin Yiyao was clever and astute, how could she not see the hidden meaning behind it?

  So she didn't continue to look for Mu Qing's whereabouts, just to preserve her last bit of dignity.

  Tears dried up, Qin Yiyao's stunning features returned to their initial coldness, as if she had once again wrapped herself in an iceberg, sealing everything inside.

  ……

  When Mu Qingge arrived at the military camp of the Mu Family Army, the troops preparing to return to Yi City were already assembled and ready to depart.

  Mu Xiong and Mu Lianrong were also here, accompanying her for a night. The next day they parted ways, and it would be ten months before they met again.

  "Song, come quickly. See what Auntie has prepared for you." Mu Lianrong pulled Mu Qingge's hand and led her into a tent.

  As soon as they entered the tent, Mu Qingge was stunned.

  The things piled up inside were like a small mountain, and I was shocked with my eyes wide open.

  "Look, these snacks are all famous in Luodu, Auntie bought some of each for you. And these silks and satins, they're all from the south. Some of them even came from Yu Guo! Aren't they pretty? When we get to Yi City, you can make lots of clothes for yourself, our family's young lady can't be dressed poorly. Oh right, there are also various accessories... this package is rouge and powder."

  Suddenly, among the shocked and frightened Mu Qing's hands appeared a lacquer jewelry box with gold thread inlays.

  The weight in her hand brought her back to reality, and she looked at Mu Lianrong, who was immersed in excitement, with a twitching mouth corner.

  "Auntie, I'm a man!" Mu Qingge endured the headache-like feeling and reminded Mu Lianrong who had almost lost her composure.

  How did she feel that her aunt, after learning about her female identity, seemed a bit different from before?

  Mu Qing's reminder caused Mu Lianrong's smiling face to stiffen.

  The excitement receded like the tide, and Mu Lianrong's eyes were filled with heartache as she looked at her. She reached out and gently stroked her hair, no longer calling her "little stinker" as she used to.

  "Song Er, you've had a hard time." Mu Lianrong's words in her heart were suppressed for half a day before she finally said this sentence. Thousands of words and phrases seemed to have all transformed into this one sentence.

  Mo Qing shook her head: "Aunt, I'm not suffering. It's actually more comfortable this way." If she were a woman, wouldn't she have to spend every day in the Mo Manor, enjoying a life of staying behind closed doors and never stepping out? And then when she reached marriageable age, be casually handed over to some man?

  If so, she would rather live as a man.

  At least, the sky is vast and she can soar freely.

  "You're such a child." Mu Qingge's true words were taken as her being obedient by Mu Lianrong.

  It seems that the more Mu Qing understood, the more heartbroken she became.

  She did not marry and had no children. Mu Qing Ge was her own flesh and blood to her. Which parents in the world do not wish their sons and daughters well?

  At birth, Mu Qingge was innocently drawn into the family's rise and fall, shouldering a burden that didn't belong to her. For fifteen years, she endured alone, silently protecting this secret.

  At the thought of this, Mu Lianrong felt a pang in her heart.

  "When we are settled at home, I and your grandfather will find a way to restore your daughter's identity." Mu Lianrong promised seriously.

  As for this, Mu Qing Ge really didn't care at all.

  She just saw her aunt's serious look, and she didn't dare to refute. Smiling, she said: "Right, Auntie. Bai Suoyue seems to have an ambiguous relationship with Rui Wang, you should be careful at home."

  "Is it really Rui Wang?" Mu Lianrong seemed to have some difficulty believing it.

  Mu Qingge nodded and said: "Do you know why the princess knew I was going to Ya City?"

  This question also made Mulianrong feel strange. There were just too many things before, and she hadn't had time to think carefully or ask questions yet.

  At this moment, Mu Qing suddenly spoke out, a bright light flashed in her mind, and she blurted out: "Is it related to Xi Yue?"

  Mo Qing sang again.

  However, this time, Mu Lianrong furrowed her brow and shook her head: "Impossible. I didn't tell Xunyue about your trip to Yicheng. How did she know?"

  This also made Mu Qingge puzzled. Originally, she was going to investigate clearly after returning from Yicheng, but now she had to return to Yicheng again, and this matter could only be left to Mu Lianrong to do.

  She said, "I don't know why she knew, but judging from the princess's words, it seems that our conversation was overheard by her and ran to tell Rui Wang. And coincidentally, the princess was also in Rui Wang Fu, unintentionally heard, and then ran out to find me."

  "Yuè... " Mu Lianrong's willow eyebrows furrowed tightly, Mu Qingge's words making her hard to accept.

  Bai Taoyue is the child she watched grow up, but now she has turned against the Mu Manor and is walking with Rui Wang, exposing Mu Qingge's whereabouts.

  "Why her?" Mu Lianrong slowly shook her head.

  Mo Qing looked at her with clear eyes, and the clear light in his eyes seemed to pierce through to the heart. "Bai Suoyue is not as simple as she seems, can't you see that, Aunt?"

  Mu Lianrong was taken aback in her heart and had no words to respond.

  Since the last time Bai Qiuyue slandered Mu Qingge, she felt that the child seemed to have changed.

  Moreover, I also know that she has been hiding her true strength. Does Auntie know what realm she is in now? Mu Qingge asked, striking while the iron was hot.

  "Isn't she about to enter the Orange Realm from the Red Realm's higher ranks?"

  "She is indeed a solid middle-stage cultivator of the Yellow Boundary." Mu Qing Ge's smile carried a hint of mockery.

  Mu Lianrong's eyes suddenly narrowed, her face full of shock.

  "Why is she hiding? What on earth is this child thinking?" Mu Lianrong suddenly found herself unable to understand Bai Taoyue.

  Mu Qing didn't answer her question, but instead said: "I think Grandfather seems to have noticed something too, he just doesn't want to cut off this relationship. I'm worried about Auntie, she's been raised by you since childhood, and Auntie's feelings for her aren't any less than mine. However, our Mu family's position is sensitive, once some hidden matters are revealed to outsiders, it might bring catastrophic consequences. So, I beg Auntie to be cautious and on guard!"

  "I understand." Mu Lianrong's expression was somewhat dazed, but she still remembered Mu Qingge's words.

  Two men were talking in the tent when Mu Xiong also walked in.

  He was also startled by the items piled up like mountains in the tent, and frowned at Mu Qingge: "Qingge, do you know that this journey back to Yicheng won't be peaceful?"

  Mo Qingge nodded.

  How could she not know?

  She understood in her heart, and Mu Xiong didn't make any further explanations. He only asked: "Then what do you plan to do?"

  Mù Qīng Gē rolled her eyes and said nonchalantly, "When the water comes, cover it with earth; when the soldiers come, block them with generals." Ever since she found out that Mr. Yāo had secretly arranged for a bodyguard to protect her, she hadn't worried about her safety in the slightest.

  Originally, she was strongly opposed to Mr. Yokai's behavior of secretly protecting her. However, after Kokoro said that Mr. Yokai only asked him to protect her safety and not to peek into her life, and that he didn't need to report anything to him, she reluctantly accepted it.

  Anyway, as long as she wasn't being watched and had gotten a powerful free bodyguard, why would she need to pretend to be reserved and refuse with an arrogant face?

  The only thing that puzzles her is - why does Mr. Monster want to do this?

  But Mu Xiong, who didn't know the inside story, wasn't as calm as her. He furrowed his brow and said, "Do you think that just because you're a Green Realm cultivator, you're invincible? If you're not careful, you won't even make it to Yu City."

  At this time, Mu Lianrong also recovered from Bai Taixue's blow. Hearing her father's words, she took the initiative to say: "Why don't I send Song'er to Yicheng?"

  "No way!" Mu Qingge was the first to refuse.

  She looked at her grandfather and aunt, "Now that there are three of us in the Mu family, if any one of us were to die, those people would set off firecrackers to celebrate. Aunt, you're sending me to Yi City, but what about when I come back?"

  "I'm fine." Mulianrong insisted on holding on.

  Ke Mu Qing Ge merely hooked her lips into a smile and said: "To use Grandfather's words, do you think that just because you have the Green Boundary, you are invincible?"

  As soon as these words came out, Mu Xiong's beard was raised, and Mu Lianrong's face turned red.

  "Then you all stay in Luodu, I'll go to Yicheng alone, nothing will happen."

  "Where did you get your confidence from?" Mu Xiong frowned and asked.

  Seeing her grandfather's relentless questioning, Mu Qingge had no choice but to wave the demon flag again. She spoke bluntly: "The Holy King has indeed sent that great person by his side to secretly protect my safety. Who can take my life? Are you not afraid of the Holy King's wrath?"

  "Is it true that His Majesty the Holy King has secretly sent someone to protect you?!"

  This shocked Mu Xiong and Mu Lianrong thoroughly.

  "But why did His Majesty the Holy King send someone to protect you?" Mu Lianrong asked curiously.

  "Perhaps it's because I'm super invincible and cute, so handsome that heaven can't tolerate it!"

  Bang!

  A crisp and clean slap landed on Mu Qing's head.

  She covered her head and looked up at Mu Xiong with a resentful gaze.

  Muxiong didn't even glance at her, and thought to himself: "I reckon the Holy King's Palace must have taken a liking to Song'er's talent. After all, our Song'er was able to go from being a waste material to becoming a Green Boundary expert in just a few months - such talent is truly one-of-a-kind! It's not impossible that the Holy King's Palace wants to take her on as a disciple!"

  Mu Qingge looked at the old man with a self-satisfied expression and twitched the corner of his mouth.

  Hey, old man, can you stop being narcissistic?

  No matter what, with Mu Qing's words, Mu Xiong and Mu Lianrong finally felt at ease about her safety.

  ……

  The next day, before dawn broke, the army set out.

  Mù Xióng and Mù Lián Róng saw him off on horseback, repeatedly reminding Mù Qīng Gē to write more letters home, take care of his body, and other trivial matters.

  From early morning till noon, the two had no choice but to return to Luodu.

  The rest of the road is up to Mu Qing Ge alone.

  With an army of 5,000, Mu Qing Ge marched towards Rui City with a majestic momentum. As for those who plotted against her, she not only didn't fear them but also somewhat anticipated it.

  It seems that these assassins who want to take her life are all targets for her to practice on.

  However, when she slowly walked all the way to Yicheng, none of the imagined assassinations occurred, leaving her feeling depressed.

  Back in the castle of Yue City, Mu Qing Ge summoned Guan Ya with a gloomy face.

  "Didn't you say that you would only take action when I'm in mortal danger?" Mu Qing Ge said with a bad tone.

  "It has nothing to do with me."

  "None of your business, where is he? Where are those assassins who want to kill me?"

  "I didn't make a move, but someone else did." Guanyan said calmly.

  Is anyone going to make a move?!

  Mo Qing's eyes flashed with a hint of thought, and her mind quickly recalled people she knew. Who would secretly lend her a helping hand?

  Princess Chang Le? Don't be ridiculous. Cancel the engagement, and she wouldn't kill her would already be a good thing, how could she possibly secretly protect her? Moreover, those who want to kill her are all influential people, with Qin Yi Yao's ability, how could she possibly protect her so thoroughly?

  Shao Bing?

  It's even more impossible. As soon as this guess came out, Mu Qingge denied it without thinking. Instead, she was in a hurry to leave and didn't have time to say goodbye to Pangzi, which made her feel a little guilty.

  I don't know if this fat guy will remember the grudge next time we meet!

  None of them, then who will it be?

  If it were Grandfather who sent someone to protect her, he would definitely not keep it from her. Moreover, she had already said that there was a lonely cliff protection, and they would not make such a move.

  Mochizuki racked her brains, but she couldn't figure out who was secretly protecting her.

  "Those who kill me, those who protect me, have you all seen clearly?" Mu Qing Ge suddenly raised her eyes and looked at Gu Ya.

  Gu Ya nodded silently, and coolly said: "The killers came in three batches at first, and then another batch joined. They were all led by Qing Yu's Huang Lü. It seems that this lineup was specially arranged for you, a green boundary. There is only one team protecting the person, but the leader of the team is a blue boundary peak expert who has set foot in the purple boundary. Although there are not many people in his hands, they are all ruthless and cunning, and they are all in the green boundary."

  So strong!

  Mo Qing's eyes narrowed slightly, shaken by Guan Yue's words.

  Who has such great ability to command people separated from the purple boundary by a single line to protect themselves?

  "Are those people still there?" Mu Qing asked after a moment of contemplation.

  Guai replied: "After Young Master arrived at Yi City, they retreated."

  "Do you know their background?" Mu Qingge raised her eyes and looked at Gu Yai.

  Gu Ya fell silent for a moment, still coolly saying: "Matters of third-rate countries, generally speaking, won't enter..."

  "Whatever, if you don't know then just say you don't know." Mu Qingge cut off Gu Yeh's words without any politeness.

  Gu Ya's face turned dark and he shut his mouth.

  Watching Ao Jiao's proud face being humbled in front of her, Mu Qing Ge felt an indescribable joy!

  Let Guanyu leave. Mu Qingge raised her hand and stroked her chin thoughtfully for a long time, but still couldn't think of who would secretly protect herself with such great power.

  If you can't figure it out, just put it aside for now.

  After all, those who will protect her shouldn't be considered enemies, right?

  ……

  The isolated city of Yi Cheng gave Mu Qing Ge a sense of liberation and comfort.

  For others, coming to Yi City might be a form of exile, but for her, it was a kind of reward.

  On the tenth day of arriving at Yicheng, early in the morning, before the dew had dried, Mu Qingge slowly woke up from her cultivation. When she opened her eyes, a deep and profound green light flashed across the depths of her clear pupils.

  Green Boundary Step!

  Two days ago, she broke through!

  From being a nobody in the Ling Chi boundary to jumping into the Green Boundary stage, it only took less than five months. Such speed, if spread out, would probably shock everyone under heaven to the point of dropping their jaws.

  What genius, what freak?

  Can't compare with her rocket-like cultivation speed at all!

  The door was lightly knocked, Mu Qingge's eyes suddenly retracted, and he said in a low voice: "Come in."

  The sound falls, the door opens.

  Young lotus and Huayue come together, holding washing utensils in their hands.

  "Master, your servant is waiting for you to wash up."

  "Little master, what would you like to eat today?"

  Two people inquired with a smile, their footsteps had already walked to Mu Qingge's side, preparing everything.

  Mu Qingge got out of bed, enjoying the service of the two maidservants, and said: "I don't have too many requirements for eating. As long as it's not bad-tasting, not too strange, not too greasy, not too bland, with some spicy flavor is fine."

  Young lotus smiled and nodded, but in her heart she was thinking: My little prince, you call this not being particular?

  "By the way, this city is very windy and desolate all around. Can you two adapt?" Mu Qing Ge suddenly thought of something and asked.

  The two of them exchanged a smile, and Yuhe said: "Young Master doesn't need to worry about us. The scenery in this city is not something that Luodu can compare with. Here, we sisters can not only serve Young Master but also cultivate together with other brothers at ease, it's simply the best."

  "You can talk." Mu Qingge stretched out her hand and pinched Yuhe's nose tip, saying with a smile.

  Suddenly, she paused, and a similar scene flashed through her mind. It seemed that someone had also done something similar to her before...

  Shake off the white figure that rushed into her mind, Mu Qingge would never admit that she had been teased by that damned old monster!

  "Little Master, what's wrong?" Mu Qing Ge suddenly became dazed, but was still noticed by the meticulous You He.

  Mu Qing shook her head and said to Er Nu, "After having breakfast, inform the others to gather at the foot of the city."

  After finishing speaking, she narrowed her eyes and thought to herself: Having cultivated for ten days, it's also time to continue the next step of training.

  Although her newly formed guard showed extraordinary strength in the last beast tide attack, it was still not enough for her, and the distance to what she had in mind was still very far.

  If these people want to always follow her forward, they must undergo even more cruel training.

  These ten months are not only a time for her to improve herself, but also a time for her entourage to collectively improve.

  Feeling the dangerous aura emanating from Moe's body, Osamu and Hanazuki exchanged a glance, knowing that their peaceful days were over and a new challenge was approaching.

  "Little Master, letters from Ludu have arrived!" Suddenly, the messenger from Yicheng hurriedly came to see Mu Qingge and presented him with three letters from Ludu.

  Mù Qīng Gē had just put on a brand new set of clothes, Huā Yuè was helping her adjust the hem, while Yòu Hé was putting away the washing tools.

  Young Lotus handed over the letter and passed it on to Mu Qing's hand.

  Mu Qingge quickly scanned through it, and one of them was a letter from the Mu Mansion. The elegant handwriting and familiar tone told her that it was from her aunt, Mu Lianrong.

  The letter didn't say anything major, just asking if she can get used to life in Yi City, if she's eating and sleeping well. It told her to take care of herself and not worry about the Luo Du Mu estate.

  The second letter is from Shao Pangzi.

  Contrary to Mu Qing's expectations, this kid knew that after leaving Luodu, he couldn't wait to write a letter scolding her.

  Xin Li said she had no sense of justice, wanted to leave, didn't even say goodbye... not enough brotherhood... but Mu Qing Ge still saw from the words that Shao Pangzi missed her, as if he couldn't wait to personally come to Rui City to accompany her through thick and thin.

  Looking at Luo Du's second-rate handwriting, Mu Qing Ge couldn't help but laugh.

  These words seemed to have turned into a warm current, flowing into her heart.

  The last letter, after Mu Qingge opened it, showed a look of surprise in her clear eyes. She didn't expect that the person who wrote this letter to her was actually Little Princess Qin Yiliang.

  Yonghuan Princess, who had only met her a few times but seemed unusually dependent on her, also expressed strong reluctance to see her leave.

  This letter, not written very well. Inside it describes the daily life of Little Princess and thoughts about her, in one letter, asked no less than ten times when she will come back, the final sentence is that she will wait for Little Brother to return to Luo Du, at that time want to invite Little Brother to eat sugar again, also want to tell Mu Qing Ge many secrets.

  The first two letters, Mu Qingge had made brief responses. Only Qin Yilian's letter, she didn't plan to respond.

  This innocent little princess really didn't want to get entangled in conflicts. Keeping a distance might allow the beauty in her heart to last forever.

  After dealing with the trivial matters, Mu Qingge took the two maids to the square at the foot of the city.

  Five hundred Imperial Guards, plus Mo Yang, a total of five hundred and one people, stood in formation on the square, ready to depart.

  In the distance, it was the Mo family's garrison troops, they were all watching from afar, as if waiting to see what would happen next.

  Mu Qingsong walked from afar, and the leader of the city's defenders hurriedly went out to greet him.

  "Little Master, what are you going to...?" Last time in the battle of Yu City, all the Mo family soldiers had only admiration for Mo Qingge, no contempt.

  At this moment, if someone dares to say half a bad word about Xu Muge in front of them, they will probably be met with their full force counterattack.

  Mu Qing's gaze swept over him, and she asked lightly, "You've come at just the right time. You've been stationed in Yue City for many years, so you should have a map of the Qinling Mountains area, shouldn't you?"

  "What's the map of Qinling for?" The guard was startled in his heart and opened his mouth carefully: "May I ask, young master, what do you want the map of Qinling for?"

  Mu Qingge didn't hide it and said directly: "I want to take them into Qinling for intensive training, the shortest is one month, the longest is three months."

  Who would have thought that the general's face changed greatly after hearing this, and he hastily stopped him: "Young master, you can't! Qinling is full of dangers, and it's also the territory of the beast tribe. Even if young master takes the map in, it's still not safe. Please withdraw this order and stay in Yicheng. If something unexpected happens to young master, I won't be able to explain it to General."

  Mu Qingge gave him a sideways glance, took two steps forward and shouted to her guards: "Did you hear that? Are you afraid?"

  "We're not afraid!" The sound was loud and clear, like thunderclaps echoing in the sky above the city.

  A resolute and unwavering voice made the Mo family's army in Yue City cast sideways glances.

  They were amazed at the audacity of these people. They had been stationed in the city for many years, and no one was more qualified to say what Qinling was really like than they were.

  Disdainful eyes and sarcastic gazes all fell upon the 500 Imperial Guards.

  However, they did not waver in the slightest. Their previous experiences had instilled in them an unshakeable conviction: believe in Master Jue, and you'll live forever! Follow Young Master Jue, and you'll definitely have meat to eat!

  No one saw the excitement and madness hidden deep in their eyes.

  Their trust in Mu Qing's song had been born since the day her talent changed, and nothing, no one could ever erase it.

  "Very good." Mu Qingge smiled with satisfaction, curling up the corners of her lips.

  Her clear eyes were as calm as water, her gaze as thin as ice swept over everyone's face. Perhaps she didn't remember each and every one of them, but those pairs of determined eyes made her remember.

  This is the Imperial Guard she wanted!

  "I once said that when I am absolutely worthy of you, I will tell you the name of this Imperial Guard. Today is the time." Mu Qing Ge took a step forward and shouted to the five hundred and one people.

  The general guarding the city furrowed his brow and remained silent.

  Perhaps he wanted to know what Mu Qing Ge really wanted to do. The soldiers of Yi City also remained silent, but everyone's gaze was focused on the city wall below.

  After Mu Qing's words fell, all 501 people were solemn and silent, pursing their lips.

  But in their eyes, there was a glimmer of excitement and fervor.

  It seems that their efforts have finally been recognized by Mu Qing Ge, and it seems that they finally have a name of their own!

  "From today on, you are the Dragon Teeth Guards of Mu Qing Ge!" Mu Qing Ge shouted out the name that had been buried in her heart for a long time with a high-pitched voice.

  Dragon Tooth Guard!

  The domineering name made the eyes of five hundred and one people gather light quickly. In their eyes, a raging flame was ignited.

  "Rooooaaaar! Dragon Tooth Guard!"

  "Longya! Longya! Longya!"

  No need for a command, the unified and loud shout made the two words "Dragon's Tooth" linger in the air above the city of Yi for a long time.

  Mù Qīng Gē's heart was also surging, no one understood the significance of 'Longyá' to her more than she did. Longyá was the code name of her past life.

  The dragon is the leader of all beasts, and its teeth are its sharpest weapon, hidden in its mouth, yet suddenly revealing their sharp edges.

  She was once the sharpest blade in the country's hand, ranked No. 1 on the global spy ranking list. So, her codename is Dragon Tooth.

  It is likely that after her sacrifice, no outsider will know, making all the dark forces in the world feel fearful and chilled, and other national organizations are also feeling headache and helpless. The Huaxia Dragon Tooth is a 29-year-old woman.

  Longya, accompanied her past life's all glory.

  Today, she bestowed this codename upon her personal guard, hoping they would live up to its illustrious name.

  The legend of Longya is not only an invincible myth in Huaxia, but also in this alien world, it will echo through the ages and create new myths!

  Dragon Tooth Guard?

  This name has been circulating in the hearts of the Mu Family Army in Yi City.

  Perhaps at this moment, they only feel that this name is a bit domineering, and don't think much of it. But one day, they will understand the true meaning of Long Ya.

  Mo Qingge raised his hand and clenched his fist, and his voice came to an abrupt halt.

  Five hundred and one people, with excitement in their hearts, suppressing the turbulent emotions, all looked at her with scorching gazes.

  "From today on, you will form your own groups. Every twenty-five people will be a group, electing their own leader and following his command. And Moyang will be the overall commander of all of you, directly under my command. The position of leader can be challenged, the loser steps down, and the winner takes over. However, this challenge is not just about fighting ability, but also tests leadership skills and more. As for Moyang, if I feel he is no longer suitable to be the overall commander, everything will be wiped clean, and everyone will have a fair chance to compete."

  She adopted the simplest and most effective distribution method, borrowing from her previous life's set.

  Benign competition is conducive to team progress.

  She has limited time and really doesn't have extra energy to spend on this, teaching them bit by bit like elementary school students.

  Her words fell, and in the Mu family army behind her, a great commotion was stirred up.

  But as for Longyawei, he remained silent, like a stone sinking into the ocean.

  "Now give you a incense time to allocate. After one incense, we enter Qinling and start training." Mu Qingge threw down a sentence and turned to look at the guardian of Yicheng.

  Those quiet eyes seemed to be asking for the map of Qinling from Shou Jiang.

  "Little Master, what's going on..." Guardian General was extremely unwilling in his heart and looked embarrassed.

  He understands the importance of Mu Qingge to the Mu family and Mu Xiong. Even if he had ten thousand guts, he wouldn't dare let this little ancestor enter Qinling.

  "If you don't want to give me the map, I can still get in," Mu Qing Ge said lightly.

  This threat almost took half of the guardian general's life.

  There is a map and it's still dangerous, without a map, entering Qinling Mountains would be reckless, and it's hard to say whether one can return alive. The general thought for a moment, gritted his teeth, and made up his mind: "Young master, please wait, I'll go prepare the map right away. However, I also ask young master to promise me that you will only stay on the outskirts of Qinling Mountains and must not venture deep inside. I will also dispatch an army of 10,000 soldiers to follow and protect your safety."

  "Ten thousand people following me? I'm here to train, not on vacation." Mu Qing's face turned dark as he ruthlessly rejected the guard's suggestion.

  The general's face suddenly turned bitter and he almost cried.

  In the end, he still couldn't bear to part with Mu Qingge, and could only cry as he handed over the map of Qinling Mountain. With a million regrets and worries, he watched as Mu Qingge and the others left Yicheng.

  Beyond the winding city walls, across the plains that were once bathed in blood and fought over, you can see the outline of Qinling.

  The mountains stretched endlessly in both directions, with dense forests hiding steep and treacherous terrain, holding unknown dangers for humans, revealing their ferocious claws to those approaching Qinling.

  Qinling, strictly speaking, is not called Qinling.

  From "Linchuan? Lu Di Zhi", Mu Qingge learned that Qinling is just a small section of the Wanlie mountain range that runs east and west across the mainland, and it's not even the most dangerous section.

  Because it is within the territory of Qin State, it has been called Qinling Mountains for generations in the Qin State.

  The Qinling Mountains stretch from the northwest to the north of the entire state of Qin, marking its boundary. The other end of the Qinling Mountains is the border of the second-rate country Di.

  In the "Linchuan? Lu Di Zhi", it is said that the Di State is a country with a narrow and long territory. The Wanlei mountain range occupies nearly half of its border. To the north of the Di State, there is a vast desert without edges, hiding killing intent, which forms a barrier for entry and exit.

  When Mu Qing heard this, she was filled with doubts in her heart.

  Her worldview and cosmology tell her that the world is round, just a celestial body in the universe.

  If you keep walking in one direction from a point, you will eventually return to the starting point. There is no such thing as boundaries or barriers.

  However, she also knew that the world she was in now seemed to be very different, so she was full of curiosity and suspicion about the desert-like barrier. If she crossed the desert and broke through the barrier, would she reach a new world?

  Looking at the Qinling Mountains' outline within sight, the mountain body shrouded in mist seemed to be telling its mystery. In Mu Qingge's eyes, apart from curiosity, there was a strong desire for challenge.

  She wants to conquer this land and make Qinling submit from now on!

  "Little Master, the map says that outside Qinling Mountains are mostly ferocious beasts with chaotic thoughts. Only by going deeper can we find traces of spiritual beasts." Mo Yang said in a low voice, holding the map drawn on animal skin and riding his horse to Mu Qing's side.

  Mo Qing's gaze swept across the map.

  This map is drawn very simply, roughly dividing the Qinling Mountains into several large blocks, marking some obvious geographical locations and beast territories.

  Mu Qingge's eyes locked onto a region marked as 'Yanma Department' after roughly glancing at the map.

  She pointed her finger at this place and said faintly: "Tonight, we will set up camp here."

  Mo's eyes flashed, and he didn't say anything else, but obediently retreated to arrange everything.

  After he left, Mu Qing's eyes narrowed slightly. In the gap between her eyelids, there was a calculating gaze like starlight: Yan Ma, with a slender and tall physique, its speed was as fast as lightning, and when it stomped its hooves in anger, it could shatter the earth. Moreover, in combat state, its entire body was wrapped in black flames, which would burn anything that touched it, and no sword or spear could penetrate. It was considered a mid-tier spirit beast.

  Such a good treasure, if you don't find a way to get it for her Dragon Tooth armor, how can you live with yourself?
