"Singers, our family is not from Linchuan..."

  The grass is swaying in the breeze, and the green grass is leaning against each other.

  A picturesque and secluded place, a green tomb stands alone. The ancient tree beside it is lush and dense, with layers of leaves forming a canopy to shade it from the sun.

  Mù Qīng Gē stood in front of the grave, staring at the tombstone, but her mind was thinking about what Grandpa had said to her yesterday.

  Mo family is not from Linchuan?

  Where is he from?

  All along, Mu Qing thought that the Mu family were native to Linchuan, but unexpectedly, they weren't!

  How vast is the world beyond Linchuan?

  Years have passed down through generations, and the truth of the matter has long since become obscure.

  Even Miao Xiong only knew that the Mu family had moved to Linchuan tens of thousands of years ago. As for its origin, it was already unknown. The only thing that could prove the identity of the Mu family was a volume of damaged scriptures.

  Last night, Muxiong handed over the household token and that damaged scripture to her.

  After leaving Muxiong's house, Muxing Ge didn't sleep all night, studying the broken scripture. However, except for a map of unknown origin on the scripture, the remaining text was completely unfamiliar to her.

  Not just her, including Muxiong and all the previous heads of the Mu family, no one has ever been able to decipher the text on the scriptures.

  All I know is that this volume of scriptures was the only thing that the Mu family brought with them when they left their ancestral land and came to Linchuan. Because it came from their ancestral land, the first generation's ancestor had carefully instructed them to preserve it carefully and pass it down. Therefore, every generation of the Mu family's master has been careful to preserve this object.

  When Mu Qing saw Mu Xiong take out the scripture, he still had to wash his hands and burn incense, and only after confirming that everything was correct did he take out the box containing the scriptures from the dark room.

  Rustle——! Rustle——!

  The fallen leaves behind me were trampled by people and made a rustling sound.

  Mo Qing's thoughts were gathered, her eyes slightly lowered, and the corners of her eyes glanced at the newcomer.

  "Who would have thought that there was such a beautiful place near Ludu. And it's so hidden, no wonder Qin Jinyang sent people to find it but couldn't." A lazy voice slowly came over.

  Mu Qing didn't even turn her head back, and indifferently said: "What are you doing here?"

  Han Chai walked up to her side, looking at the tombstone engraved with 'Mu Qing Ge's wife', and smiled slyly: "Of course, I came to pay my respects to Mrs. Mu."

  Mrs. Mu, he said these three words with great relish.

  Mo Qingge slightly furrowed her brow, sensing an unclear meaning behind it.

  What does Han Chae-yoon want to say?

  For this male demon with 999 twists in his mind, Mu Qing Ge absolutely didn't believe a word he said, taking it at face value!

  However, Mu Qing did not want to fall into his trap.

  She didn't care about those three words at all and just replied faintly: "You're being considerate."

  This calm reply made Han Cai suddenly turn around, her slender and captivating phoenix eyes half-closed, staring at her face with utmost concentration.

  Those straightforward and fiery eyes fell on her face, making Mu Qingge extremely uncomfortable.

  After enduring for a while, she frowned and said: "What are you looking at?"

  Han Cai suddenly smiled slowly: "Mu Qingge, I didn't say you're very beautiful?"

  Mo Qing's eyes were deep and calm, but Han Chai felt that her gaze was strange, and the words she spoke seemed to have a hidden meaning.

  "Thank you for the compliment, you look very beautiful too." Mu Qingge's eyebrows slightly raised, her eyes gleaming with a hint of provocation.

  Han Chai furrowed her brow.

  He fell silent for a moment before speaking up to correct him: "Praising a man as beautiful doesn't seem quite right."

  Mu Qingge sneered: "I'm also learning as I go."

  Her words made Han Cai's eyes narrow even more, and the light in her eye slits flashed as if she was thinking about something.

  Han Chai's abnormal behavior made Mu Qingge also very puzzled, not knowing what he was venting about and constantly probing something.

  After a while, Han's lazy voice sounded again: "That day in the Sunset Wilderness, I vaguely saw a seductive body in Huoyun Yangyan's body, seemingly a...". He looked carefully at every expression on Mu Qingge's face and slowly spit out two words: "Woman."

  The phoenix's gaze swept carefully across Mu Qingge's face and then shifted to her neck.

  A slightly protruding Adam's apple that he couldn't ignore made him frown tightly and fall into deep thought.

  His words did not cause Mu Qingge's expression to show a hint of panic, and that calmness made him doubt whether he had misjudged her from the start.

  "Oh? Was there someone else at that time?" Mu Qingge looked at him in surprise.

  Han Chai's lips were pursed and she didn't say a word, only staring at her as if trying to see through her disguise!

  Mù Qīng Gē's eyes drooped as she pondered, "This is impossible. In that environment, it's hard for ordinary people to go down. Moreover, we passed by and didn't feel like there was a woman following us." Suddenly, she lifted her head and looked at Hán Cǎi Cǎi, with a calm expression in her clear eyes: "Could it be that Young Master Hán was dazed by the heat of Huǒ Yún Yangyàn, so he had an illusion?" However... She said with a face full of disdain: "The illusion you produced is actually a woman's body. Young Master Hán, you really are... Hehe, we're all men, let's understand each other."

  Mu Qingge suddenly smiled, that elegant and carefree appearance, how could it be possessed by a woman?

  Han Chai furrowed her brow in deep thought, and for a moment, she actually forgot to refute Mu Qing's teasing words.

  "Mu Qingge, what secrets are you hiding?" Han Caicai suddenly asked.

  Mu Qing's smile at the corner of her mouth instantly retracted, she looked at Han Cai and sneered: "What secret does Young Master Han have? Are you willing to share it?"

  Han Cai's eyes flashed with a stern light, and the aura around her body became several degrees colder.

  Mu Qingge sneered, "Everyone has secrets. Since Han Shaozhu doesn't want to reveal his own secrets to the public, why must he pry into mine? Besides, my secret has nothing to do with Han Shaozhu."

  Han Chai's breath was restored in an instant, and a layer of inexplicable smile appeared on his narrow and long phoenix eyes: "Indeed, I was too abrupt."

  Mo Qing's lips curled up in a mocking smile, and he fell silent.

  The two fell silent for a moment, and then Han Cai Cai spoke up again: "Is your interrogation over?"

  Mu Qingge didn't respond.

  Han Chai said: "To apologize for the suddenness earlier, I can provide you with information about the music masters of the Middle Ages for free."

  Mo Qing looked at him with raised eyebrows, as if saying: "You're so good?"

  Han Chai's smile was enchanting as she began to speak: "In the Middle Ancient Realm, there were countless families of all sizes. The vastness of the Middle Ancient Realm far exceeded your imagination. Generally speaking, the Middle Ancient Realm is divided into five states: Zhongzhou, Beizhou, Xizhou, Dongzhou, and Nan Zhou. The Music Clan was located in Nan Zhou. Among the several hundred families in Nan Zhou that could be considered famous, the Music Clan was at the bottom of the list, only able to be counted as a small family."

  Mo Qing listened intently and saw Han Chai suddenly stop, she smiled: "You're comforting me, what I've gotten myself into isn't a big deal, is it?"

  "No." Han Cai shook her head, smiling with a hint of cunning: "Even now, the Wei family is a giant compared to your Mu family. Just remember that in the Middle Ancient Realm, purple boundaries are as common as cow hair, and you'll know the difference between us. Moreover, every ten years, families in the Middle Ancient Realm will have a competition, and if they win, their ranking will rise, and they'll get more resources and attract more talent. Who knows, by the time you reach the Middle Ancient Realm and find the Yue family, they may have become even stronger. Oh, I forgot to mention that the next competition in the Middle Ancient Realm is just three years from now."

  Mu Qing's eyes narrowed: "How did I hear a hint of schadenfreude?"

  Han Chai did not deny or admit it, but continued: "Lin Chuan values the country as the most important, while Zhong Guo prioritizes family. This is the biggest difference between the two."

  For the medieval period, Mu Xueqing has not found it as difficult to understand its system as Han Zhenzong did.

  After all, she is not a native product. As long as the form of medievalism is understood as warlord separatism in history, it is easy to understand that various kings coexist.

  There is no unified regime, each doing their own thing, and the strong are respected, which is the best portrayal of the medieval world.

  In Mocheng's view, such a system is more backward than Linchuan's national honor. Because of too many non-unifications, it will lead to slow development.

  But there are also advantages.

  The power of family units is far more stable than that of national units!

  Mù Qīng Gē remembers that Sī Mò once said, her mother's Sang family was in the Western Continent of the Middle Ancient Realm. The Yuè family, on the other hand, was in the Southern Continent. Although they weren't exactly worlds apart, she had no idea how far apart they actually were.

  "As for the Middle Ages, if you have anything else you'd like to know, feel free to come find me. However, next time, it'll cost you." Han Chai said with a playful smile.

  Mu Qingge glanced at him with a cold smile and turned to leave.

  If she wants to know the news of Zhongguo, why look for him? It's better to find Si Mo directly, and it's faster, and you don't have to pay any reward!

  Wait, why did she subconsciously think of asking him?

  Didn't we agree to cut ties with him?

  This time I agreed to help Gu Yan, it's just because this matter is related to him.

  "What's wrong?" Seeing Mu Qingge about to leave, Han Cai hurriedly caught up with her, but then saw her suddenly stop and look puzzled, so she asked.

  Disturbed by him, Mu Qing's thoughts quickly withdrew.

  She faintly replied: "Nothing." and then left.

  Han Chai looked at Mu Qing's departing back and muttered to herself: "One day, I'll figure out the secrets on you!"

  ……

  Mu Qingge had just returned to the Mu residence when he was summoned by Mu Xiong.

  Nowadays Mu Xiong is indeed living the life of a retired cadre. He doesn't care about anything outside his window, and is busy taking care of the flowers and plants in his own courtyard.

  It's really hard to imagine Mu Qing Ge, a grandfather who has been dancing with knives and sticks all his life, picking up flowers and grasses.

  As expected, before entering Lao Ye's courtyard, a burst of "crackling" sounds came from inside.

  She quickened her pace and went in to take a look, only to see the whole yard full of mud and broken porcelain pieces, as well as withered flowers and grasses. Mu Xiong, however, stood innocently in the mud, his hands and sleeves covered in mud.

  Mo Qing's expression was shocked for a moment, and then he burst out laughing, holding his belly.

  Hearing his beloved granddaughter's laughter, Mu Xiong's old face suddenly turned red, and he said sternly: "You little girl, what are you laughing at!"

  Mu Qingge suppressed her smile and shook her head at Mu Lao: "Grandpa, this flower arrangement is really not suitable for you, why don't we change to something else?"

  Mo Xiong's eyes narrowed and he scowled, saying "Wait here." After that, he turned around and went back into the house, probably to wash up.

  Before long, servants came hurrying over to clear away the remnants of the meal.

  "What's going on here? It's such a mess!" Mu Lianrong happened to walk in while the servant was cleaning up.

  Seeing Mu Qingge was also there, he walked over and asked: "Qingge, where is your grandfather?"

  "Get dressed and tidy up in your room," said Mu Qing softly, "I'll wait for him here."

  "Get dressed up?" Mu Lianrong's expression became slightly strange.

  "Did you take Grandfather's words to heart, Auntie? Linchuan is a big place, have you thought about where to go first?" With Mu Lianrong's current abilities, as long as she doesn't stir up major trouble, there shouldn't be any safety issues. Moreover, the Thousand Valiant Army is stationed in various parts of the Third Rank Kingdom, so if anything happens, they can provide timely assistance.

  "This matter I have thought about, going out to take a look is certain, but also need to wait for things here to settle down first. If I were to go out, I think I would go to Gu Wu country first."

  "Gu Wu State? How did Auntie think of going there?" Mu Qing Ge asked in surprise.

  "What's wrong?" Mu Qingge's reaction made Mu Lianrong puzzled: "I just heard that it's very special there, so I've always wanted to take a look."

  Mu Qing shook her head: "Go and see, it's nothing, but the ancient witch country is in Linchuan, which is a relatively special existence. Our Mu family's power has not reached there yet, I'm worried about Auntie's safety."

  "Don't worry, I'm just going on a trip, not looking for trouble."

  "Anyway, be careful with everything. Keep in touch at all times."

  "Good. Now that you're the master of the house, you've got a style about you." Mu Lianrong teased.

  "Fourth Aunt is teasing me," Mu Qing sang with a smile.

  "Alright, I won't tell you anymore, I'll go first."

  "Grandma isn't waiting for Grandpa?" asked Mu Qing with a hint of surprise.

  Mu Lianrong shook her head and said, "No need to wait for me, I didn't have anything important to discuss with him. I just happened to be passing by and thought I'd drop in to take a look. There's a lot of work to be done at home now, so I should go take a look."

  "Auntie, walk slowly." Mu Qingge nodded lightly and saw off Mu Lianrong.

  Mu Lianrong had just left when Mu Xiong changed his clothes and shouted from inside the room: "Ge'er, come in!"

  Mo Qingge smiled silently and smoothed out the wrinkles on her clothes with a casual hand, then walked in.

  "Come here, girl. Grandpa has something to ask you. I was busy with important things yesterday and forgot, but today I must get a clear answer." Mu Qingge had just entered the room when Mu Xiong beckoned her over.

  "What's going on?" Grandpa's mysterious appearance made Mu Qingge puzzled.

  Muxiong beckoned her to his side, and after ensuring no one was around, he asked with a serious face: "Ge'er, be honest with Grandfather, the person who guarded me yesterday, is that the same noble from the Holy King's side?"

  "Yes." Mu Qingge replied.

  Upon receiving the affirmative news, Mu Xiong suddenly inhaled a mouthful of cold air.

  He quickly paced back and forth in the room, making Mu Qing's eyes dizzy.

  "Grandpa, why are you walking back and forth?" She finally couldn't help but speak up to stop him.

  Mu Xiong's body stiffened as he looked at Mu Qing Ge, his expression serious: "Qing Ge, has the Holy King been in contact with you all along?"

  He?

  Mochi thought of Si Mo's unpredictable behavior and those ambiguous words, and subconsciously nodded.

  This answer made Mu Xiong's eyes widen suddenly, as if he had received a great shock.

  "What's wrong?" Mu Qing Ge asked in puzzlement.

  She remembered that a long time ago, she had pulled down Sima's big flag in front of Muxiong, and at that time, the old man didn't have such a big reaction!

  Mu Xiong's face was twisted in a knot, and he asked Mu Qing Ge again: "Then tell me, who is that extremely seductive young master who came to help yesterday?"

  "He is the young master of Wanxiang Building, and I have had some dealings with him." Mu Qingge said calmly.

  The old man frowned and asked, "Then... did they know you were a girl?"

  Mo Qing's mouth twitched, and he had a speechless feeling.

  After a moment, under the old man's urgent and expectant gaze, she steeled herself and said: "No."

  "Nothing?" Mu Xiong's eyebrows were furrowed so tightly they could almost pinch a fly to death.

  "Grandpa, what do you really want to ask?"

  "Uh... cough cough... haha, nice weather today." Murong changed the subject.

  That expression made Mu Qingge even more certain that he must be thinking of something else. "If Grandfather doesn't want to say, then forget it, I have other things to do, so I'll leave first."

  Mo Qing Ge is about to leave.

  "Wait!" Mu Xiong hastily stopped her, and after hesitating for a long time, he stammered: "Ge Er, you're not young anymore. It's not good to always dress up as a man, when do you plan to change back into women's clothes?"

  Mochida stroked her chin, "I think I'm still very young!" She's not even eighteen years old, and if she were in her previous life, she would have just entered university. It was the prime of her youth, so why did it become "not small" in Lao Ye's mouth? Moreover, what does age have to do with men's or women's clothing?

  "You're such a child! At your age, most women are already mothers of several children!" Mu Xiong scolded.

  Mo Qingyu almost choked on her own saliva!

  It turned out that the old man had been waiting for her here all along!

  Hehe......

  Mu Qing's mouth twitched violently at the corner, she really didn't have any plans to get married and have children in this lifetime! The old man's hopes were likely to be dashed!

  At her expression, Mu Xiong suddenly clutched his chest and lamented: "Alas! Heaven wants to destroy my Mu family, wants my Mu family to become extinct!"

  Mu Qingge suddenly felt a blackness in front of her eyes and had an urge to run away!

  But her sleeve was tightly grasped by the old man, and it seemed that if he didn't get a satisfactory answer from her today, he wouldn't let go!

  Mù Qīng Gē lā le lā zì jǐ xiù zǐ, yè bù dòng!

  Translation: Mu Qing Ge pulled her own sleeve, but couldn't pull it off!

  "Grandpa, don't be so childish, okay?"

  "Hmph! For the sake of the Mu family's bloodline, I'll be lenient today!" Mu Xiong's arrogant and proud hum made his whiskers twitch.

  Mu Qing's words left her speechless. In her heart, she grumbled: Even if one day she really lost her mind and got married and had children, wouldn't the child still take the father's surname? What did it matter whose bloodline the Mu family was from?

  Mù Qīng gē tàn le kǒu qì, yī biān chě zhe zì jǐ yī xiù, yī biān yǔ zhòng xīn zhǎng de dào: "Yé ye, wǒ zhēn de méi yǒu zhè fāng miàn de kǎo lǜ. Nǐ yǔ qí bǎ xī wàng jì zài wǒ shēn shàng, bù rú gěi gū gū xià lìng gěi nǐ zhǎo gè shàng mén nǚ xí huí lái. Zài bù rán, nǐ fǎn zhèng yě lǎo dāng yì zhuàng, jiù wǒi kǔ gè hòu nǎi nai, zài shēng gè xiǎo shū shū yě xíng ā!"

  "You! You damned fool! What kind of nonsense are you spouting!" Mu Xiong was so angry that he raised his hand to hit her.

  Mu Qingsong took advantage of the opportunity and slipped away quietly.

  Before leaving, only one sentence was left echoing in the room: "Grandfather, your sealed spiritual power has just been released, and your meridians have been damaged. Remember to take the medicinal pills on the table to nourish your meridians."

  Mu Xiong, who was furious, heard this sentence and suddenly felt a warmth in his heart. He slowly lowered the hand he had raised, and looked at the dan medicine bottle on the table that Mu Qing Ge had put down at some unknown time.

  With a surge of emotions in his heart, he said with moist eyes: "Alright alright, you've grown up too, knowing the boundaries, I'm old, so I won't worry about this anymore!"

  Mu Qingge fled in a hurry from Mu Xiong's courtyard, as if there was a fierce ghost chasing after her.

  The entire Mu Manor's servants were staring at her in astonishment.

  After walking far away, Mu Qingge finally stopped and tidied up her clothes, then walked towards Zhu Ling's temporary residence with her head held high and chest out.

  Things outside the imperial city, although only one day has passed, Qin Jincheng's swift and decisive speed still suppressed all subsequent problems caused by the incident.

  The Luo Du of today seems no different from the past.

  But Mu Fu's status in Luo Du seems different now!

  These past few days, Mu Qingge has been busy dealing with family matters and has neglected Zhu Ling. At this moment, after escaping from the old man's room, she went to see her fellow sister who had traveled with her through thick and thin.

  Zhu Ling was arranged to live in a quiet and secluded small courtyard in the Mu Mansion, although the scenery couldn't compare with Mu Qing Ge's Chi Yun Yuan, it wasn't much worse either.

  When Mu Qingge walked into the small courtyard, Zhu Ling was instructing the maids to help her dry some medicinal herbs.

  Xian Mu's gentle voice came in, and she smiled as she approached. "Is Young Master free today?"

  Mu Qing smiled and said: "Zhu Shijie still calls me Mu Shidi, Little Master is too formal."

  Zhu Ling bowed her head and smiled: "Young Master has given an order, I dare not disobey."

  She said, "Brother Miao came to find me today, is there something on his mind?"

  Mocheng Ge thought for a moment, nodded: "There is indeed one thing, but it's also to take a look at Shifu Jie. In the past few days, I've been troubling Shifu Jie with busy work, and I feel uneasy in my heart. Now that things have been resolved, from now on, Shifu Jie can live in Mocheng Fu with peace of mind, and if you want to go out for a walk, it's also possible. I promise you, in Luodu, you will be absolutely safe."

  "Are you treating me like an outsider?" Zhu Ling smiled and said, "I'm a wandering soul, I'm grateful for your help. The recent experiences have broadened my horizons and left a lasting impact on me, I don't feel any suffering at all. On the contrary, if you were to leave me out and not let me participate, I would be disappointed instead. Since we agreed to travel together outside of Linchuan, why are we still being so polite? Wouldn't it be difficult for us in the future?"

  Mu Qingge nodded in agreement, smiling and saying "Sister Shifu is right." As soon as she finished speaking, she raised her hand and waved it, and on the stone table in the courtyard appeared a set of soft armor with a silver glow, along with two slender curved knives that were extremely delicate and sharp.

  "This is......" Zhu Ling said in surprise.

  "This is a soft armor made from the skin and scales of a giant python, which can effectively withstand attacks below the Violet Boundary. These two weapons were also custom-made by me for Zhu Shijie, and they can also enhance her combat power. The other three seniors, I have also prepared theirs, and when we meet again, I will give them to them."

  "So soon!" Zhu Ling exclaimed in surprise. On that day, Mu Qing Ge had said he would use the giant python's scales and skin, as well as its bones to forge soft armor and weapons for them, but she hadn't expected it to be ready so quickly.

  Mu Qingge smiled slightly and said to her: "Sister, try it on, does it fit?"

  "Alright." Zhu Ling picked up her soft armor and weapon, then headed into the house.

  Mocheng Ge sat in the courtyard waiting, thinking back to a few days ago when she had urgently given the 500 Dragon Tooth Guards a medicinal pill mixed with Jiao blood, forcing them to break through their spiritual cultivation. Now all of the Dragon Tooth Guards were at least at the Green Realm level, and half of them had entered the Blue Realm. After that, she gave them armor made from Jiao skin, scales, and other materials, which further strengthened their weapons, each person equipped with a grenade launcher, before rushing to Luo Du to start a battle.

  When the five hundred dragon teeth guards took the elixir of blood dan, that painful scene was deeply etched in her mind.

  At that moment, she admitted to herself that she was a selfish person. In order to gain more control, she took the risk of raising the cultivation level of this group of people. If something went wrong, someone might lose their life.

  But they knew it clearly, yet they still took the medicine without any hesitation or resentment.

  Later, Mo Yang told her that she did this not only to increase the success rate of the mission, but also because she didn't want anyone from Longyawei to die there. So, she was considering the lives of Longyawei, don't worry about it.

  He also said that the Dragon Tooth Guard was born for her, fought for her, and even if the road ahead was treacherous, they would not hesitate to step in, and regarded this as a supreme honor!

  Have to say, Mu Qingge was moved by Mo Yang's words.

  Longya Wei is her indispensable and irreplaceable comrade-in-arms for this lifetime!

  "Admiring the younger brother, it fits perfectly." Zhu Ling put on her soft armor and walked out with a pair of knives.

  Mu Qingge looked up and saw that her clothes were still the same, but she knew that Zhu Ling had already put on a soft armor inside. She stood up and said to Zhu Ling: "The current soft armor can only withstand attacks below the purple boundary. When we leave Linchuan one day, I will upgrade it and improve its defensive capabilities."

  "Brother Miao, you really know how to refine equipment!" Zhu Ling's eyes lit up. Earlier, when she saw Mu Qing Ge equipping the Dragon Tooth Guard with full armor, she had her suspicions.

  Today Mu Qing said so, it is an acknowledgment.

  But Mu Qing's no longer hiding from her also made her clearly aware that Mu Qing had already taken her as one of his own!

  This made her very happy.

  Originally, the two should have been enemies due to their different schools. However, they inexplicably became friends and companions, a fate that left her marveling at its wonder.

  ……

  As Mu Qingge walked out of Zhu Ling's residence, she couldn't shake off the feeling that she had forgotten something.

  But somehow I just can't seem to remember what it is.

  When she walked to Chi Yunyuan, seeing Guanyan's figure, she suddenly remembered what she had planned to do before.

  She walked towards Gū Yá and said directly: "This matter has come to an end, you can also go back and report to your master."

  The lonely cliff faintly said: "Master let me stay by your side and wait for orders."

  Mu Qing Ge frowned and said: "I have my own personal guard, I don't need his people staying by my side."

  Guai Xie looked at her with a slanted gaze: "Young Master, isn't this killing the donkey after crossing the river?"

  Mu Qing's cold smile: "The cause of this matter, it is now difficult to investigate who implicated whom. I also admit that your master has indeed helped me a lot. However, now, I only need my own space and do not want him to intervene again."

  Seeing Guan Ya's silence, Mu Qing Ge continued: "Don't worry, I owe your master a favor, and I will repay it sooner or later. Now, you can leave."

  Gu Ya took a deep look at her and turned around, disappearing into thin air.

  Mo Qing sighed in her heart.

  Since that night, Si Mo let her think carefully about the relationship between them, she had a mind to escape. Didn't want to have any more connection with him.

  Mu Qingge shook her head and walked towards her own room.

  But she didn't know that the two people who had been entangled for a long time could easily cut off their relationship.

  When Mu Qingge returned to his room, Gu Ya had already used special means to return to Si Mo's side and report back, telling him everything Mu Qingge had said.

  Cai Mo listened and remained silent for a long time.

  Just as Guan Ya and Guan Ye thought their master was going to kill the person, Si Mo instead smiled coldly, his smile containing a hidden danger that made both of them feel like retreating.

  "Still? Still have to settle?" These few words were slowly and coldly spat out from Si Mo's lips.

  Achoo!

  Mu Qingge, who was soaking in a hot bath in the room, suddenly let out a sneeze, and she couldn't help but rub her nose.

  "Boss! Boss! Where are you? The Regent is in trouble!"

  Outside the door, Shao Pangzi's urgent voice suddenly came. The implication in his words made Mu Qingge's eyes cold, and she got out of the water, took off her clothes and changed into new ones.

  "Shao Gongzi, please wait a moment, our young master is taking a bath." The voice of Hua Yue came from outside the door.

  Right away, a hurried pacing sound came over. Before long, Shao Biaozi was heard shouting outside the door in a strained voice: "Boss, hurry up! If we delay any further, the Regent will be done for!"

  No sooner had he finished speaking than the tightly closed door was opened and Mu Qingge, dressed in a red robe and soft armor, walked out.

  She still had a faint scent of bath on her body, which made Shao Baozi, who was close to her, take a deep breath and sigh: "So fragrant!"

  Mu Qingge immediately kicked him and asked: "What's wrong with Qin Jincheng?"

  Shao Pangzi shrunk his short neck, muttering to himself: In this Qin country, probably only he, the old master, dared to address the Regent King by name.

  "But, without beating around the bush, he replied to Mu Qingge's question: 'The Regent suddenly fell ill, and the imperial physician has given up. My father can only ask me to find you and see if we can get the beautiful sister who came with you to help treat him.'"

  "Let's go." Mu Qingge said, and then walked out of Chi Yunyuan.

  Shao Pangzi was taken aback and hastily caught up with him, asking: "Where are you going?"

  "The Imperial Palace." Mu Qing Ge replied briefly.

  "Imperial Palace?" Shao Biaozi said woodenly: "But haven't called out the beautiful sister yet!"

  "I'll just go." Mu Qingge replied lightly, but her footsteps quickened by a few paces.

  "Who?" Shao Pangzi was stunned, and instantly reacted: "Boss, you're too amazing! When did you actually learn to refine elixirs!" He came looking for Zhu Ling, of course knowing her identity as a Dan Master.

  Now Mu Qing Ge says this, isn't he indirectly saying that he can refine elixirs?

  Shao Pangzi caught up with a dogged expression, and when they reached the gate, Mu Qingge rode Hei Yan directly towards the imperial palace. Shao Pangzi rode an ordinary horse, desperately chasing after him from behind.

  When they arrived at the imperial palace, Shaobuzi was already panting with exhaustion.

  General Shao immediately approached Mu Qingge as soon as he saw him: "Young Master!" After finishing speaking, he looked around and didn't see any sign of Zhu Ling.

  Just as he was in doubt, Mu Qing Ge suddenly said: "Take me to see Qin Jin Chen."

  Shao Pangzi caught up at this time, humming and hawing, and immediately explained to his father: "Dad, the eldest is Dan Shifu."

  General Shao's eyes narrowed and he immediately said seriously: "Young Master, please!"

  When Qingmu Xingge saw Qin Jincheng, he was already lying weakly on the bed, with a blood-stained silk handkerchief by his side. Several imperial physicians were gathered together, discussing treatment options.

  The imperial court's alchemists also took out their own elixirs and fed them to Qin Jincheng, but he spat them all out.

  Also present was Gu Shi, whom Mu Qing had met before. He furrowed his brow and stared at Qin Jincheng with a very unpleasant expression.

  Everyone was shocked when Mu Qingge appeared and immediately bowed to her.

  Now Mu Qingge can be considered the uncrowned king of Qin State, who dares to offend him?

  Gu Shi saw Mu Qing Ge and immediately stepped forward, bowing deeply to her. "Young Master, please save my king! My king was originally weak, and during the period when Qin Jing Yang held him under house arrest, he was already exhausted. These past two days, he has been working day and night to handle state affairs, without regard for his own body. At this moment, he..."

  The old master's voice was choked with emotion as he looked at Qin Jincheng, who appeared fragile and on the verge of shattering at any moment, unable to speak.

  "Let me take a look." Mu Qingge walked to the bedside and took a clearer look at Qin Jincheng's sickly appearance.

  At this time, Qin Jincheng's skin was almost transparent enough to see the blood vessels, his breathing was as weak as a thread, and he had almost reached the final stage. If it weren't for a thought that was supporting him, he would have probably stopped breathing long ago.

  Mo Qing's eyes dropped, and in the next second, she flipped her palm, and a dan medicine had already appeared in her hand.

  The spiritual energy and medicinal properties hidden in Nandan's medicine made everyone in the room involuntarily take a deep breath.

  "What... what level of elixir is this!" The imperial court's alchemist couldn't help but ask excitedly.

  But at this time, no one answered him.

  The old master saw Mu Qingge take out the elixir and was also excited, but thinking that Qin Zhenchen could no longer swallow the elixir at this moment, he became worried again.

  Mo Qingge stuffed the dan medicine into Qin Jincheng's lips, and the dan medicine was stuck motionless between his lips.

  She furrowed her brow and pinched open Qin Jincheng's lips, letting the medicine slide in a few times. "Get some water."

  Someone immediately brought over a bowl of water.

  Mù Qīnggē lifted the jade bowl and gently poured some into Qin Jǐnchén's lips.

  The elixir in Qin Jincheng's mouth dissolved immediately upon contact with water. Previously, it was because the saliva in Qin Jincheng's mouth had stopped secreting, so it couldn't be dissolved. Now, Mu Qingge assisted with water, and the elixir instantly turned into a clear stream, entering Qin Jincheng's limbs and bones.

  At this moment, Qin Jincheng, who was as if placed in an icy coldness, suddenly felt a warm current wrapping around him, slowly taking him away from that frozen land, warming his lungs, meridians, and even his flesh and skin.

  After an unknown period of time, he woke up from his daze and saw clearly what was in front of him.

  This is the imperial palace.

  The light in his eyes dimmed.

  He seems to be nostalgic for the warmth in his memories.

  In a daze, he saw a tall and straight figure standing by the bed with its back to him.

  That bright red color, so enchanting and unparalleled, made him recognize her identity at a glance.

  "A gentle song..." Qin Jincheng sat up with his back against the bed board.

  He suddenly found that he didn't need to exert himself to do all this, but rather easily sat up. Sitting on the bed, he stared at his hands in amazement, feeling the strong heartbeat inside him.

  "You're awake." Mu Qing Ge slowly turned around and looked at Qin Jin Chen.

  Qin Jincheng stared at her in a daze and nodded slowly.

  Mu Qingge walked closer to him, sat down beside the bed and asked: "How are you feeling now?"

  Qin Jincheng covered his chest and took a deep breath, then said: "I feel like I've never been so relaxed before, it even feels like my illness is completely gone."

  Mo Qingge nodded and said to him: "Take out your hand."

  Qin Jincheng's hand stretched out woodenly, and Mu Qingge placed it on his pulse, listening carefully before releasing it: "Indeed, he has already recovered, but still needs to be nursed back to health for a period of time."

  Her medicine is naturally not an ordinary product.

  This high-grade perfect quality Boneless Dan was refined by her earlier according to Qin Jincheng's situation.

  Tu Gu Dan can improve Qin Jin Chen's physical constitution and keep him away from illness. It fundamentally solved the congenital problem he had since birth.

  Later, with Qin Jinchens qualifications and the guidance of Gu Shi, it wasnt difficult to cultivate.

  "Was it you who saved me?" Qin Jincheng wasn't stupid, Mu Qingge's every move had already let him guess what happened after he fainted.

  However, what he didn't expect was that his life was actually saved by Mu Qingge.

  Mocheng Ge left Qin State for a while and when he came back, he was able to save his life.

  For a moment, Qin Jincheng couldn't tell whether he was happy or sad, only feeling that the distance between him and Mu Qingge had grown further apart. So far that all he could see was her blurry back figure.

  "Who are you planning to let be the emperor next?" He didn't answer her question, Mu Qing Ge lowered her head and asked.

  Qin Jincheng gathered his emotions and looked at her with those clear black and white eyes, answering seriously: "Me."

  ……

  When I came out of the imperial palace, it was already dark.

  Mo Qingge didn't expect Qin Jincheng to give her such an answer.

  In the end, he still sat in that seat.

  She let out a mouthful of turbid air, and Mu Qingge didn't know whether to congratulate him or say something else. So she left the palace and also declined Shaobuzi's invitation to go on a flower boat tour.

  Returning to Mu Fu, Mu Qing Ge returned to Chi Yun Yuan, originally wanting to put down all matters and take a good rest. However, You He rushed over with news from Lu Guo.

  "Little Master, news has come from the Lu Guo side that the Emperor of Lu Guo has suddenly fallen ill and is seriously ill. They are currently discussing the matter of establishing a crown prince. At present, Feng Yu Xiang and Feng Yu Fei are fighting fiercely, and their supporters are also fighting to the point of no reconciliation." Yu He handed the organized intelligence report to Mu Qing Ge.

  Mo Qingge quickly scanned it, her eyes narrowing slightly as she stood up and ordered: "Prepare the horse, go to the imperial palace."

  Digression

  The long holiday is over, but my heart hasn't returned yet. I have no interest in going to work, so the best thing to do is laze around~
