I don't know him.

  The simplest words, yet they seemed like a ruthless slap in the face, striking Song Yu's proud eyes with a hint of cruelty.

  "Say it again!" Song Yu gritted his teeth, his eyes fiercely staring at Mu Qingge.

  It seemed that if she dared to say "don't know" again, he would rush up and tear her apart.

  Mù Qīng Gē felt this intense threat, but calmly said: "I say, I don't know."

  "You!" Song Yu's proud face twisted slightly, his tone carrying a chill: "A mere newly-entered disciple of the Medicine Tower, how dare you be so arrogant!"

  "You've already said I'm a new disciple who just entered the tower, it's normal that I don't know which one you are." Mu Qingge sneered and curled up the corner of his lips.

  Suddenly, faint laughter echoed from all around.

  The laughter fell into Song Yu's ears, it was an extremely piercing mockery, making his face instantly turn blue and red.

  "I want to duel with you!" Song Yu endured the mocking laughter from all around, remembering his original intention and the task given by Xie Yuan, and spoke again.

  Mo Qing's eyes were slightly cold, with a hint of playfulness at the corners of her mouth. She said word by word: "On what grounds?"

  Song Yu suddenly frowned, with a few hints of murderous intent mixed in his fierce gaze: "Just because I spoke up."

  "You want me to respond as soon as you open your mouth?" Mu Qingge sneered.

  Her arrogant attitude made the suppressed laughter around her gradually disappear, and at the same time, it also made the onlookers notice her again, this newcomer to the Medicine Tower who was the 'king of popularity'!

  "Aren't you daring to accept the challenge?" Song Yu sneered with disdain.

  Muxing smiled, her eyes scanning the surrounding crowd with a hint of curiosity. Her smile gradually turned cold. "You, a mid-level alchemist, ranked eighth on the popularity chart, are challenging me, a newly-entered disciple and a low-level alchemist? Are you looking to spar with me over alchemy or humiliate me?"

  Song Yu's pupils contracted and he couldn't believe that Mu Qing Ge would so bluntly say out loud the implication behind their duel!

  All around, a murmur of whispers could be heard.

  Not bad! He's indeed a member of the Duan Yuan faction, come to teach Mu Qing Ge a lesson and let her know who she absolutely cannot afford to offend in the Medicine Tower, and meekly hand over the goods.

  Although he didn't know what Xiangyuan wanted either, it didn't affect his admiration for Xiangyuan at all.

  Among the jeers of the crowd, Song Yu had an urge to run away.

  But when he saw Xie Yuan's cold eyes fall on him in the crowd, he shuddered and stiffened his scalp again, saying: "Hmph, aren't you the first person with unprecedented spiritual strength? I'm not bullying you by making a duel appointment with you."

  "When does spiritual consciousness represent the strength of alchemy?"

  Mochi's song had not yet begun, but a soft and gentle voice drifted in from outside.

  The onlookers unconsciously dispersed to both sides, revealing a narrow path, making way for the person who had spoken out.

  Mu Qingge raised her eyes and saw Mei Zizheng coming towards her in a white robe, as if stepping on clouds, with an unpredictable aura.

  "Master Mei!"

  "Master Mei!"

  "It's Master Mei!"

  "Master Mei has actually come?"

  "Master Mei!"

  Mei Zi Zhong Yi appeared, and the immortal aura surrounding his body made everyone around him bow down to him with reverence. The admiration in their eyes was completely genuine.

  This scene fell into Mu Qing's eyes, also fell into Song Yu's eyes, and similarly fell into Xiang Yuan's eyes.

  Plum blossom Zhong is so popular, while he, the eternal second-in-command, can only forever be relegated to second place. It seems that wherever Plum Blossom Zhong exists, no one can see Xuan Yuan.

  Xie Yuan's eyes gleamed with a hint of malice, originally just wanting to teach Mu Qingge a lesson, but unexpectedly brought out Mei Zizhong.

  "Could Mei Zizhong also be interested in that thing!" The sudden guess made Di Yuan's breath even colder.

  "What I have set my heart on can only be mine!"

  "What did you say, Brother Xiang?" Xiangyuan's low murmur fell into the ears of his followers beside him, but they didn't quite catch it.

  Xiang Yuan gave him a cold look, scaring him into silence.

  "Plum... Brother Plum." Mei Zi Zhong's sudden appearance made Song Yu's mouth twitch, and cold sweat dripped down his temples. He could only stiffen his scalp, clench his fists, and salute.

  Mei Zi Zhong's eyes gazed at him with a faint, unreadable expression, her anger unclear. She nodded lightly and shifted her gaze to Mu Qing Ge: "Didn't I say that if you had any trouble, you should come find me?"

  Mu Qing's mouth twitched, she had just been blocked by someone, and Mei Zi Zhong appeared. Not to mention that she hadn't thought of finding Mei Zi Zhong from head to toe, even if she had the intention, she didn't have the chance!

  Mo Qing's silent gaze fell into Mei Zizhong's eyes, causing his calm and peaceful eyes to be tinged with a faint smile. He turned his gaze towards Song Yu, who was tense all over, and slowly opened his mouth: "If you really want to spar with Mo Shidi in alchemy, it's better to wait until she has cultivated for a period of time before speaking."

  "This..." Song Yu's face was awkward. He couldn't move forward, nor could he retreat.

  If he could, he would not want to trouble a new person out of nowhere, let alone the new person was someone the dean had his eye on. However, Xian Yuan was still watching from the side, if he were to back down now, his outcome would likely be extremely miserable.

  Song Yu secretly looked towards Xiang Yuan in the crowd, as if wanting to get new instructions.

  But when Duan Yu's sinister and ruthless appearance fell into his eyes, it made his heart tighten, and he gritted his teeth: "Why does Master Mei need to plead for him? This is a duel between me and Mu Shidi, even if I refuse, Mu Shidi will still come."

  Mu Qingge was about to speak, having just clearly and unmistakably refused earlier, but Song Yu's next words made her change her mind on the spot.

  "Perhaps you don't know, Mu Shidi, but our duel is also a shortcut for you. If you win against me, you'll take my place in the rankings and become one of the top ten on the popularity chart, gaining more recognition for your strength. Moreover, do you know that anyone who enters the top ten, regardless of their seniority, gets to enter the top floor of the Danfang Pavilion once a month?" Song Yuxiao racked her brains to come up with all sorts of benefits to entice Mu Qingge to agree to the duel and complete Xie Yuan's task.

  Whether or not she can make it onto the popularity charts, Mu Qing doesn't care at all.

  However, the welfare of entering the popularity list made her envious. The top floor of Danfang Pavilion must be hiding good things, otherwise how could they have reserved such a reward?

  "After some thought, Mu Qing Ge said: 'Alright, I agree with you.'"

  Her response made Song Yu's heart relax. He couldn't help but think to himself: Kid, you only know the benefits of winning, why don't you think about what would happen if you lose?

  "Good for you, Brother Miao!" Song Yu hastily said, fearing that Mu Qing Ge would change his mind.

  Things took a turn for the unexpected, leaving everyone around them stunned. Even Mei Zi Zhong couldn't help but look at Mu Qing Ge with a puzzled expression, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.

  After hearing Mu Qing's agreement, Xian Yuan gave Mei Zi Zhong a fierce glance before turning around and leaving.

  "Now that Mu Shidi has agreed, let's set a time." Song Yu seemed to have regained his initial arrogance. He had never thought that Mu Qing Ge would win, and of course, he didn't think he would lose either.

  "I heard there's going to be a duel in two days? It's also the old versus the new." Mu Qing Ge said with interest.

  Song Yu was taken aback for a moment.

  Feng Yu returned because he was rumored to be a high-level alchemist, but when he arrived at the Medicine Tower, he concealed his true abilities. So, Xie Yuan sent someone to deceive him and wanted to confirm the truth of the rumors through a duel. He knew about this matter, but didn't understand what Mu Qingge meant by suddenly bringing it up.

  Although he didn't understand, Song Yu still nodded his head.

  "Alright, let's schedule our duel after theirs."

  Song Yu's eyes lit up, and he immediately said proudly: "In that case, I will await your arrival two days later, Brother Miao. Farewell!"

  After finishing speaking, he anxiously bid farewell to Mei Zizhong and quickly left.

  Song Yu left, but the crowd had not yet dispersed.

  Because beside Mu Qing's side was standing a more eye-catching Mei Zi Zhong. Compared to him, Song Yu was like the moon competing with the bright sun.

  "Why did you agree with him?" Mei Zi Zhong furrowed his brow slightly, disapproving of Mu Qing Ge's decision.

  Mo Qingge raised an eyebrow and looked at him with a hint of a smile, saying: "Can I refuse?" She didn't owe Mei Zizhong any explanation. Besides, since Song Yu was so persistent today, even if she refused, who could guarantee he wouldn't come again tomorrow or the day after? She didn't have that much time to deal with these things, so it was better to settle them all at once.

  "If you don't want to, no one can force you." Mei Zi Zhong said seriously.

  But as soon as he said this, it was not Mu Qingge who was surprised, but the crowd of onlookers around them.

  Gasps of shock came from all directions, as if they had heard some earth-shattering secret!

  "My goodness! Master Mei actually said such a thing to him, this kid's life is too good!"

  "Will he be walking horizontally in the Medicine Tower one day, just like Master Mei?"

  "Hmm, you've gone a bit too far with that comment. We all know that Master Mei is a carefree person who doesn't like to fight with others. Being taken care of by him is an extremely great fortune, but don't forget about another person. Offending Master Mei and sincerely apologizing will get you through it. But offending him... I'm afraid even death won't be a clean getaway. Who Song Yu is, we both know in our hearts."

  "Song Yu is who, we're clear, Master Mei is also clear. But he insisted on participating, can't be that this time he plans to go with the other side..."

  "Hush! Some things are better left unspoken."

  The murmurs of disapproval gradually subsided, and it was unclear who had intimidated them into silence.

  In a distant and secluded corner, two slender figures stood shoulder to shoulder.

  Zhu Ling's tone was tinged with a hint of jealousy as she said, "Why is Master Mei so good to him? He's just a new disciple who has entered the tower."

  She has been in the tower for so many years and has never seen Mei Zizhong care about anyone's affairs like this. He actually said such words publicly.

  Shang Zisu's eyes flickered slightly, and she said lightly, "Perhaps, Master Mei is a wasted talent."

  "What a pity?" Zhu Ling responded, recalling the scene of watching the Spiritual Tower assessment in front of the black obsidian stele that day, and nodded: "That new disciple Mo is indeed a genius, but that only proves that his spiritual strength is stronger than ours, it doesn't mean he will definitely become a Dan medicine master!"

  "Don't forget, the strength of one's spiritual consciousness is a prerequisite for becoming an advanced, or even more formidable alchemist. No matter how his current alchemy skills are, he has already opened up the path to becoming the ultimate alchemist." Shang Zisu said calmly.

  Zhu Ling looked at her with some surprise: "It's rare to see you talk so much, could it be that you also have a different view of Mu Shidi?"

  She said with a smile and a hint of teasing in her eyes.

  The merchant's fingers trembled slightly at the cuff, but he said calmly, "A talent like that would naturally attract some attention."

  "Come to think of it, I've always felt that this Mu Shidi looks somewhat familiar, as if I've seen him somewhere before! Ah! That's right!" Zhu Ling suddenly realized: "He was the one who found fault with Lu Guo Feng, the Third Prince, on the Emerald Lake back then! The stunning red-clad young master!"

  Shang Zisu fell silent, only gazing at Mei Zizhong and Mu Qingge in the crowd, but it was unclear who he was actually looking at.

  "Thank you for your kindness, Brother Mei, but I don't need it." Mu Qingge lightly declined the protection offered by Mei Zizhong.

  Plum's eyes deepened in confusion, he seemed to not understand why Mu Qing Ge refused his kindness.

  He lightly pressed his thin lips together before speaking again: "You don't have to worry that I'll use this to coerce you into joining my master's sect."

  "Elder Mei is worrying too much." Mu Qingge smiled and said, "Today's matter, no matter what, thank you Elder Mei for your kind assistance. However, I've always liked to handle my own affairs myself, so in the future, there's no need to trouble Elder Mei again."

  After finishing speaking, she gave Mei Zizhong a hug and turned to leave. Originally wanted to go find the Wei family siblings, but now it's better not to go.

  "He actually refused?"

  "Are you out of your mind?! Such a great opportunity and you actually refused it?!"

  "What big news! First accepted Song Yu's duel invitation, then refused Mei Shixiong's protection, what kind of person is this new Mu Shidi?"

  "You also said you missed one thing, this Miao Shidi is exactly the person who broke Mei Shixiong's record at Lingzhi Tower that day!"

  "What! He's the one!"

  At this moment, the crowd fell into shock once again.

  Plum blossom Zhongmou sent a gentle song far away, the surrounding discussions and comments poured into his ears, but he seemed to have not heard them at all.

  Until Mu Qing Ge walked far away, he turned around and left.

  ……

  All disciples of Yao Tower who have passed the assessment period have the right to choose their own residence.

  If one is admitted as a disciple, they live with their master. This cohabitation refers to the same area, but not in the same room. That is, being connected together while not interfering with each other.

  Mei Zi Zhong returned to his residence and saw Zhao Nan Xing with his hands crossed over his chest, leaning against a pillar waiting for him.

  He paused slightly and looked at Zhao Nanxing with a questioning gaze in his eyes.

  Zhao Nanxing couldn't help but smile wryly, releasing his hands and walking towards him, saying helplessly: "Master has taken in three disciples. You and Zisu are as gentle as water and light as clouds. One is cold as ice and proud as a plum blossom. I'm stuck in the middle, it's really hard to find an opportunity to talk to you guys. I was really looking forward to having a younger brother, at least someone to talk to."

  A hint of a smile appeared in Mei Zi's calm and serene eyes: "It seems you know."

  Zhao Nanxing shrugged: "You've got a divine being from the Medicine Tower personally showing up, what don't I know?"

  Plum's eyes slowly drooped, his long eyelashes blocking the emotions in his eyes: "It seems that I didn't think this through. In that case, I've pushed Brother Mù to the forefront of criticism."

  "Brother Shifu, do you know why that Mo Shidi, who performed so brilliantly in the assessment, has no one to take him as a disciple?" Zhao Nanxing suddenly spoke with a heavy heart.

  Alas, this senior brother is a peerless genius in alchemy, but he's too simple-minded when it comes to human relationships.

  Mei Zi Zhong raised her eyes and looked at him with a puzzled expression.

  Zhao Nanxing couldn't help but sigh and say, "Because all the Dan masters have already figured it out, Mu Shidi has been favored by the Dean, and sooner or later he will become a disciple of the Dean. Who dares to compete with the Dean? Of course, our Master is an exception, but isn't he not in the tower? On this side, the Dean is secretly rejoicing that the only one who dared to compete with him is not here, so he can slowly observe Mu Shidi for a while. But you are so blatant in taking on disciples on behalf of the Master, openly poaching people, and publicly showing favoritism. Indeed, as you said, this Mu Shidi has been pushed by you to the forefront, even being placed on the fire to be roasted."

  Plum blossoms fall silently.

  It seems like I'm seriously thinking about Zhao Nanxing.

  "We don't know whether Song Yu's actions were instigated by Xie Yuan or hinted at by the Dean. Now that things have come to this, it's clear to everyone in Yaotai that our school is competing with the Dean's side for people. If we lose, it's fine, but if we win? Won't that make it difficult for the Dean's side to save face? With Master not here, just the three of us, how can we counter the Dean's influence? And how can we protect that disciple who admires our school?" Zhao Nanxing continued.

  These possible chain reactions were completely beyond Mei Zi Zhong's expectations.

  Reminded by Zhao Nanxing, he suddenly reacted and said in a slightly depressed tone: "I will immediately send a letter to Master, asking him to hurry back as soon as possible."

  "It's unnecessary." Zhao Nan Xing gave him a white eye: "I had already sent someone to deliver the secret letter to Master before you returned."

  Mei Zi Zhong let out a sigh of relief and bowed sincerely to Zhao Nan Xing: "Thank you, young master. Otherwise, I would have gotten into big trouble."

  "We are fellow disciples, no need to be so polite." Zhao Nanxing waved his hand, not taking it seriously.

  He said so much because he knew that his senior brother had put too much energy into studying alchemy, and didn't think about other things in the medicine tower. He didn't want him to do bad things with good intentions, and felt guilty at heart.

  "In short, Brother Mei. Before Master returns, you'd better not show your face for that Mo disciple again." Zhao Nanxing said seriously to Mei Zizhong.

  Meizi nodded in agreement.

  He is not a fool, he just doesn't quite understand these messy things.

  Today, Zhao Nanxing's reminder made him realize what his supposedly kind actions would bring to Mu Qingge. He immediately stated: "My recklessness has implicated Master Mu. From now on, I will not interfere arbitrarily, but please ask Master to secretly take care of him."

  "Don't worry, brother. I also want to have some interesting younger brothers. When Master returns, we'll put on another thrilling show. Haha, don't forget that both Purple Su and I were taken from the principal by Master, so let's believe in Master's abilities." Zhao Nanxing comforted Mei Zizhong with a smile.

  His smile infected Mei Zi Zhong and also made his lips slightly lift.

  ……

  Two fierce battles made everyone in Yaotai excited.

  Originally, Feng Yu's duel was still worth looking forward to. However, as soon as the news of Mu Qingge and Song Yu's duel came out, it immediately overshadowed Feng Yu's limelight.

  Because Feng Yu was a mid-level alchemist, and those who had agreed to fight him were also mid-level alchemists.

  But Mu Qing Ge was just a primary dan master, and the one who had agreed to duel with her was actually the eighth most popular person on the popularity rankings.

  Moreover, the number one person on the popularity chart has come out to help Mu Qing Ge. Moreover, Mu Qing Ge's performance in the Spiritual Tower assessment can be described as a shocking debut!

  When Mu Qing woke up from her cultivation and pushed open the door, she was immediately enveloped by numerous gazes.

  Even those five people who had nothing to do with her cast ambiguous glances at her, let alone the Wei siblings who were close to her.

  "Mo Ge, you really agreed to duel with the eighth most popular person! " Wei Qianqian's eyes sparkled with little stars, her face full of excitement.

  She had confidence in Mu Qing's strength and never worried that Mu Qing would lose to Song Yu.

  Mo Qingge nodded slightly.

  Wei Qi also excitedly said: "At that time we will go cheer for you, you can win beautifully."

  "Hmph! Does he think he can win? Don't forget, he's just a low-level alchemist, while Brother Song is an intermediate alchemist." One of the five people said with a sarcastic tone.

  The gaze towards Mu Qingge was also unknown whether it was jealousy or ridicule, or schadenfreude.

  The three people who were chatting happily suddenly cast their eyes on him, but he didn't back down and stared back at them.

  "Hey, if you don't know, then don't talk nonsense. Our Mu Ge is very powerful!" Wei Juanjuan pointed at the person who just left.

  "Hmph! A low-level alchemist, how formidable can he be? Won't he still hide his true strength even when he reaches the Medicine Tower?" Another person spoke up.

  Wei JuanJuan angrily said: "You..."

  "Qiongqiong, no need to say more to them." Murong Qingge spoke lightly, stopping Wei Qiongqiong from getting into an unnecessary argument with outsiders.

  Wei Qianqian nodded vigorously after hearing Mu Qing's words, but couldn't help glaring at the five men with a huff.

  "Hmph, a lowly dan master, and you're only worthy of being with a medicine boy." One of the five people spoke disdainfully.

  Wei Qi flew into a rage, pointing at the five of them and saying: "Hey! You talk as if you're very powerful. Let me see your registration certificates, are they intermediate or advanced? Our Mu Ge may not be great, but at least we have top players on the popularity list who will challenge us to a battle. What about you? I'm afraid even if you were to offer yourselves up to others to polish their shoes, no one would want you!"

  "Brother said it well!" Wei Juanjuan rarely took the initiative to call Wei Qi a brother, and this time it was really because he scolded him in a way that was very satisfying.

  "You two pieces of trash!"

  The five people were furious.

  Just as both sides were on high alert, Mu Qing Ge suddenly stood in front of the Wei family siblings, coldly staring at the five people.

  She swept them with her eyes, and the five immediately fell silent, huddling together.

  It was as if Fei Mu Qing Ge had personally taken action and killed them.

  "Mu Ge, you... what do you want to do?"

  Jian Mu Qing Ge slowly walked towards them, one of whom couldn't help but ask in fear.

  Mochida's footsteps didn't stop, although he walked extremely slowly, but gave people an overwhelming pressure. "One orange boundary, one low-level yellow boundary, three high-level yellow boundaries."

  "You... what do you want to do? I'm telling you that in the Medicine Tower, you can fight for Dan, but you cannot privately use martial arts, and even more so, you cannot use spiritual power to harm fellow disciples. If you dare to do anything to us, you will definitely be expelled from the Medicine Tower."

  Mocheng's gaze was able to see through the cultivation of all five people at once; the only possibility was that her own cultivation far surpassed theirs.

  This realization caused the five people to retreat one after another and issue a warning.

  Muyin Song let out a cold snort: "You all overestimate yourselves. From now on, take care of your own mouths and don't let me hear any words that displease me again. If you can't manage... it's not just spiritual power cultivation that can make people disappear."

  The dense threat made the five people's faces turn pale.

  Mo Qing's boldness exceeded their imagination, but they were unwilling to swallow this breath.

  One of them, ignoring the warning, shouted: "What right do you have to threaten us? Once we tell Master Dan about this, you'll be out of here!"

  "Right! What's the use of being arrogant now? We're waiting to see how you'll lose to Song!" Others chimed in.

  "What's with Master Dan?" Mu Qing Ge's disdain at the corner of her mouth grew thicker. Looking at their eyes, they seemed like children.

  Suddenly, she smiled mockingly: "It seems that you all think I've lost for sure."

  The five of them exchanged a glance, and although no one replied, their eyes and expressions said it all.

  "Alright, I'll make a bet with you." Mu Qing Ge said.

  The five of them were taken aback and immediately became vigilant, saying: "What are you betting on?"

  Mù Qīng Gē folded her arms behind her back, a hint of arrogance between her eyebrows: "Don't you all think I'll definitely lose? If I lose, I'll automatically withdraw from the Medicine Tower. But if you lose..."

  "How did we lose?" someone asked anxiously.

  Mo Qing's smile at the corner of his mouth grew thicker: "You haven't lost yet, from now on you'll have to obey the Wei family siblings, and after learning, you'll also serve their family for a lifetime."

  "That's not fair! Why is it that when you lose, you just leave, but when we lose, we have to sell ourselves for the rest of our lives?"

  Someone immediately raised an objection.

  "You can choose not to gamble. Or is it that you think I won't lose, so you don't dare?" Mu Qingge's tone carried a hint of provocation.

  The five of them consulted with each other and gritted their teeth, saying: "Alright! Let's bet!"

  Mu Qing's eyebrows rose slightly as she said loudly, "I'm willing to bet and admit defeat. Let's make a written agreement now to avoid any disputes later."

  "Don't worry, none of us five are heroes or anything, but we can still keep our promises." One of the five walked out and said to Mu Qing in a loud voice.

  The other four people also nodded in agreement.

  Mo Qingge smiled and nodded, turning to face the Wei siblings with a wink: "Alright! Juanjuan, go prepare the writing materials."

  "Alright!" Wei Juanjuan responded quickly and turned around to find a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

  Soon, written evidence was put down in black and white on paper.

  Everyone present put down their hands and pressed their seals one by one.

  "Master Yin, you can make them swear an oath with their spiritual power. That way, they won't be able to betray the contract." Momo's voice suddenly rang out.

  Mo Qing's eyes flashed with a hint of understanding, and she responded in her heart: 'No need, once they arrive at the Wei Manor, Wei Linlang will know how to handle them.'

  Jian Mu Qing Ge said so, Meng Meng didn't speak again.

  However, Moe's mention of making a vow with spiritual power did spark some interest in her.

  Later, Mu Qingge made a decision in her heart and handed the signed document to Wei Qi, who accepted it with pleasure.

  "Let's just wait for the outcome then," Mu Qing said as he turned around to face the five of them.

  The five of them snorted in unison and left separately.

  Five people left, and Wei Kuo burst out laughing. Wei Qi took the letter of evidence to Mu Qing's face and shook it, saying with a smile: "Another five people were cheated by you, really didn't know they had been sold."

  "Also saw Mu Ge's pitfall, it was really enjoyable." Wei Juanjuan laughed extremely happily.

  Mu Qing Ge smiled faintly and said, "Your father is stationed in Tuo City. If there's a war, Dan Shifu will definitely not be absent. Consider these five people as my gift to Wei Da Ge."

  Her words made Wei Qi and Wei Qianqian both restrain their smiles.

  Wei Qi gratefully bowed and made a fist: "Mu Ge, thank you so much. I'll thank Father for you."

  Mo Qing's eyes curved into a faint smile of disbelief.

  Wei Qianqian hesitated and said: "Muge, we don't know where your home is, only that you come from Qin State. Does your family need a dan master?"

  Mu Qingge shook her head and said, "No need." The Mu family army naturally needed Dan Shifu, because she couldn't stay in the Mu family army to practice alchemy forever.

  It's likely that the demand is even more urgent than Weilin's. However, the road from Yu State to Qin State is long and arduous, and it's unclear when these five people will be able to leave Yao Tower. As for Mufei, it's hard to say how she'll react, so it might as well be given to Weilin now as a gesture of goodwill.

  As for Dan Shifu from the Mu Family Army side, she will find an opportunity to send some over.

  Anyway, she is now refining low and middle grade elixirs in batches, which can temporarily alleviate the urgent need.

  "You're all here!"

  Three people were talking, and Shuiling and Fow Tianlong also returned together.

  That day, after the conversation between the two, although their feelings were still unclear, Shuiling had consciously reduced her contact with Muxing Ge to avoid misunderstanding Fowei Long again.

  Today, they were originally refining Dan and hurried back after hearing Mu Qing's summons.

  "Mu Ge, I heard you agreed to a duel with Song Yu, who's ranked eighth in popularity. Is this true?" Shui Ling walked up to Mu Qing Ge and asked anxiously.

  She didn't know Mu Qing as well as the Wei siblings did, so it was natural that she would be a bit worried.

  Feng Tianlong saw them talking and silently walked over to Shui Ling's side.

  Mo Qingge nodded and smiled: "It seems the news has spread quickly."

  "We heard it from Feng Yu's side." Shui Ling gave her a glance, "You don't know how jealous that person looked when he overheard everyone discussing your duel everywhere."

  "What does it have to do with me?" Mu Qing Ge raised an eyebrow and said.

  Weiduo walked to Shuiling's side, excitedly saying: "Shuiling, you don't know that Muge just made a bet with someone." As she spoke, she roughly told her what had happened earlier, of course not mentioning that Mugelight would definitely win.

  "Are you sure, Mu Ge? If you lose, you'll have to leave the Medicine Tower." Shui Ling asked worriedly. She could tell that Mu Ge had hidden some of her strength, but she couldn't guess how much strength she really had.

  Mu Qing Ge smiled lightly: "Don't worry."

  Fu Tianlong heard Mu Qingge's bet, pursed his lips and suddenly stood up to her in a low voice: "Mu Ge, I'll also make a bet with you."

  As soon as he opened his mouth, the surroundings immediately fell silent.

  Shui Ling looked at him with a mixture of surprise and curiosity, unable to guess his intention for a moment.

  "What are you up to again, Fútian Lóng?" Wei Qiongqiong asked guardedly.

  Fu Tian Long didn't look at them, but instead stared at Mu Qing Ge and said: "If you lose, leave the Medicine Tower. If you win, I'll tell you something."

  Mo Qingyu met his gaze and after a brief moment, replied: "Alright."

  Feng Tian nodded and glanced at Shui Ling again before turning around and heading towards his own room.

  Futian Long's strange behavior made Wei Cuo Cuo poke the water spirit beside him and ask in a low voice, "What's going on with you two these past couple of days?"

  Shuiling shook her head, seemingly a bit dazed.

  ……

  In another treehouse, Feng Yu returned with a gloomy face and sat in his own room.

  The news he received today made it impossible for him to focus on refining his elixir.

  He had already attracted the attention of the Medicine Tower with his scheduled duel. The other party had already inquired about him and found that their levels were roughly the same. If he could win, not only would he make a name for himself among the new students of the Medicine Tower, but also dispel the unfavorable rumors surrounding him previously.

  But before he could show off his skills, Mu Qingge jumped out again and actually wanted to duel with Song Yu, who was ranked eighth on the popularity chart after him.

  The two fights are scheduled so close together, it's clear they just want to steal his thunder!

  "Damn you, Mu! You got me shut out by Master Xie, and now you're still against me everywhere! It seems you really can't get along with me!" Feng Yuexiu gritted her teeth and said.

  Knock knock!

  The knock at the door suddenly rang out.

  Feng Yu suppressed his anger and asked in a cold voice: "Who?"

  "It's us." Someone outside replied in a low voice.

  Feng Yu's eyes sparkled as she said to the person outside the door, "Come in."

  After getting permission, the people outside pushed the door and entered. The three who came in were all followers who had just attached themselves to Feng Yu not long ago.

  As the Phoenix Returns to the Crown Prince's identity, it naturally has an appeal to some people.

  "Have you found anything?" Feng Yu asked.

  One of them replied, "That Mu guy is really unlucky, he actually offended Master Xian. That Song Yu is Master Xian's person, without Master Xian's indication, how would he take the initiative to find trouble with that Mu guy?"

  "Is it that Master Diao has made his move?" Feng Yu's eyes flashed with calculation. "What exactly did she do to offend Master Diao?"

  The three of them looked at each other and shook their heads.

  This made Feng Yu furrow his brow and purse his lips.

  The person who made an appointment with him to fight, he found out that it was sent by Xiang Yu to test him.

  So he should respond positively, as long as he wins that person but doesn't refine high-grade elixirs, then he'll have the opportunity to surrender to Xuan Yuan again and rely on his introduction to enter under the Dean's door.

  "Now that Mu has offended Master Xian, isn't it heaven helping me too?" A spark flashed in Feng's returning gaze.

  Suddenly, Feng Yu thought of something important and immediately got up, striding towards the door.

  The three people in the room looked at each other in confusion, just about to follow up, when they heard Feng Yu return speaking from outside the door: "You don't need to come after me."

  The three of them immediately stopped in their tracks.

  Feng Yu returned from the tree house and jumped down, treading on the night color towards the interior of the medicine tower.

  He wanted to see Duan Yu, and as for Duan Yu's residence, he had already inquired about it long ago.

  Wait for Phoenix to return to Xuan Yuan's residence, and was stopped by someone before getting close.

  "What a person!"

  "Feng Yu Gui hurriedly said: 'Two senior brothers, I am a new disciple of the tower, Feng Yu Gui. I have an urgent matter that requires me to see Xie senior brother, would you please inform him for me?'"

  The person who blocked Feng's way back didn't react at all, but instead gave a cold laugh.

  One of them said to Feng Yuqiu: "Feng Yuqiu? I've heard of you. Can Brother Xian see you whenever he wants?"

  The phoenix's eyes dimmed slightly.

  He is the prince of a country, how could he have been looked down upon by others like this?

  However, this is a medicine tower and not Lü Guo. Even if he were a golden dragon, he could only temporarily yield and compromise.

  He forced a smile and said to the two of them again: "I really have something important to see Master Xie, please help me."

  "What's wrong with you? Are you afraid to show up and want Master Xian to come out and solve this for you?" one of them sneered.

  Another person followed up and said: "Aren't you known for being able to refine high-grade elixirs? Why are you afraid now?"

  Phoenix returned with a pair of eyes spewing flames, and in her heart, she once again hated Mu Qingge.

  After calming down, Feng Yu said in a more sincere tone: "You two, I came here because I know some things about Mu Ge and want to tell you, Xian Shixiong."

  When mentioning Mu Qing's song, the two gatekeepers finally put away their teasing mood.

  This vastly different reaction made Feng Yu secretly resentful in her heart.

  It seems that these concerns should have been his, but now they have been taken away by Mu Qingge.

  "Is it true you have news about Mu Ge?" someone asked Feng Yuexia for confirmation.

  Feng Yu nodded his head at the iron-clad point.

  The two exchanged another glance and finally made a decision.

  "Wait."

  Then one of them flew back.

  They finally went to report, and Feng Yu returned slightly at ease.

  The person who left has been gone for a long time. Feng Yu Hui is waiting outside, being treated coldly. Several times, he wanted to leave in anger.

  But then he thought that this was a good opportunity to get along with Yuan Huan, and thinking that if everything went smoothly, he would soon be able to enter the hospital under the leadership of the dean, and he suppressed his anger again.

  It was almost half a time before the person who went to report finally appeared slowly.

  He exchanged a glance with his companions before looking at Feng Yu and saying, "Follow me."

  Feng Yu heard and immediately followed him in.

  He hadn't walked for long before he was brought to a man-made lake.

  The lake is not very large, and there are stone blocks decorating the shore.

  In the pavilion by the shore, Xiang Yu had his back to him, and there was no one else around.

  The man who brought Feng back home bowed to Xuan Yuan in the pavilion and said respectfully, "Brother Xuan, I've brought him back."

  "Step down." A cold and sinister voice came over.

  That person didn't hesitate at all and left immediately.

  Feng Yu took two steps forward before facing Xie Yuan and saying, "Brother Xie."

  "Do you have information about Mu Ge?" Di Yuan asked calmly.

  It's hard to tell from his tone whether he is happy or angry.

  Feng Yu returned with a small heart, guessing the meaning of his words, but never got the key.

  Di Yuan's inquiry made him reply: "Not bad. Di Shixiong also knows that before entering the Medicine Tower, I had some dealings with this person, so I have also inquired about some information."

  "Speak and let's hear it," said Di Yuan.

  Feng Yu returned with a dark and resentful expression, but didn't dare to resist, and could only say: "I only know that he once caused a riot in my country's Ling City because of a high-grade elixir. The high-grade elixirs on his body seem to be more than one, and from his words, those high-grade elixirs seem to have been refined by him."

  "What did you say? He can refine high-grade elixirs?" Finally, Duan Yuan turned around, his gloomy face in the darkness looking towards Feng Yu Gui.

  Feng Yu returned with a clenched jaw: "Right! He's the one rumored to be able to refine high-grade elixirs, the new face of the Medicine Tower!"
