"How do we get to Zhongguo?" Mu Qing asked.
Cai Mo shook his head and said to her: "This question, wait until you break through the Purple Realm, see the realm after the Purple Realm, I'll tell you then."
Mu Qingge felt somewhat disappointed in her heart.
"In the path of cultivation, the method of gradual progress is the most solid and stable. Knowing too much will only disturb your mind and be harmful to you. When you enter the Purple Realm, I won't hide from you what you want to know."
"And you? Are you from Linchuan Boundary or Zhonggu Boundary?" Mu Qing Ge suddenly asked.
Her eyes were fixed tightly on Si Mo.
Cai Mo was taken aback for a moment, shook his head and laughed: "I am neither."
What!
Mochou was shocked.
At this time, Si Mo said: "Where I am from, Xiaoge will know sooner or later. For now, you only need to know my intentions towards you."
Suddenly becoming ambiguous, Mu Qingge's face stiffened.
His amber-colored eyes gazed at her with an unusual luster, seeing the stiffness of her face in his eyes.
He smiled and said: "I will never deceive Xiaoge, I will never hurt Xiaoge."
Recovering from his stiffness, Mu Qing sang a white glance at him and asked: "Where is Hunyuan Tianji Yan?"
"Jung Country, Endless Marshes." Si Mo spat out a place name.
……
On the way to meet with Mo Yang and others, Si Mo refused Mu Qing's suggestion of riding a horse and specially prepared a carriage for her. He also got into the carriage himself.
Mù Qīng Gē leaned against the carriage, closed her eyes and pretended to sleep, but still felt the scorching gaze falling on her.
Suddenly, she had a feeling that agreeing to go with this man might be a wrong decision.
She calmed her mind and a map of Linchuan Continent... or perhaps it should be said, the map of Linchuan Border, appeared in her mind.
Rong State, one of the second-class countries on the border of Linchuan, belongs to the southeast. It is now separated from the current location of Mocheng Ge by several countries, and it is impossible to rush over now.
"Alas, it seems that for now, I can only follow the original plan and head to the Medicine Tower first, then look for an opportunity to make a trip to the Rong State." Mu Qing Ge sighed in her heart.
The existence of Hunyuan Tiange Yan made her somewhat impatient.
But she also knew that some things can't be rushed.
Just as Cui Miao said, it would be more secure for her to subdue the Huanyuan Tiandi after breaking through the Violet Realm. At the same time, there will be more guarantees for her own safety.
Lan Jing Dianfeng, in a third-rate country, is already considered a person who can walk sideways.
However, according to Si Mo, such strength is not uncommon in second-rate countries.
Just think about it, a second-rate country's surface-level prosperity is already better than that of a third-rate country, so it's not hard to imagine the gap between them.
"The true way is to work hard and improve one's strength!" Mu Qing Ge thought to herself.
"Master Yin, Master Yin." Suddenly, a faint humming noise came out.
Mù Qīng Gē was taken aback and asked in surprise: 'Meng Meng?'
"It's me, your beloved, hurry up and enter the space." Moe Moe urged with a hint of anxiety.
At this time enter space? Driver Mo Ke just sat beside himself.
Mo Qingge hesitated for a moment.
However, hearing Mengmeng's voice seemed somewhat off, and after a moment of hesitation, she still made her decision.
Mù Qīng Gē slightly opened her eyes and stole a glance at Sī Mò.
He seems to have stopped looking at himself.
Closing her eyes again, Mu Qing entered the space instantly. However, this time, only her divine consciousness entered, while her physical body remained in the carriage.
"Moe moe." Mochi Light Song stood on the ground in space and called out a sentence.
In an instant, a small dot flew from afar and rushed into Mu Qing's arms, saying pitifully: "Waaah, Master Silver doesn't want to be cute anymore, wants to be with that big demon king."
Mochida picked her up and shook her in his hand, asking puzzled: "What are you talking about? What great demon king?"
Meng Meng's eyes welled up with tears as she sniffled: "Master, you can't abandon me."
"When did I say I didn't want you?" Mu Qing Ge's eyebrows slightly furrowed.
Mengmeng lowered her head, muttering against her fingers in a wronged tone: "I saw everything that happened last night, you and the Great Demon King rolling around on the bed, looking like you were having a great time."
Mu Qing's face suddenly turned bright red, and her mouth twitched violently twice.
He grabbed her hand and pinched Meng Meng in his palm, saying fiercely: "Do you dare to peep at me?"
"I didn't mean to! You're worried about me, afraid that the big devil will bully me. Fine, I won't watch Meng Bao Bao anymore! Bad master!" Meng Meng shouted loudly in grievance.
"Why did you call him the Great Demon King?" Mu Qingge asked with a furrowed brow.
"Hmph! Baby won't say!" Mengmeng turned her head away with a cold hum.
Mo Qing's eyes narrowed dangerously as he increased his grip: "Not speaking?"
"Ahh! It hurts so much, Master! You're so cruel!" Mengmeng struggled to resist, but couldn't change the fact that Mochi was her master, making all her counterattacks ineffective.
"Waaah, baby said so, Master, let go quickly." In the end, Mengmeng could only beg for mercy.
Mù Qīng Gē relaxed his grip, but didn't completely let go. "Quickly, say why you called him the Great Demon King."
Meng Meng pouted: "Because baby feels that he is very powerful and has a strong bloody smell on his body, it's really unknown how many people were killed to have such a strong bloody smell. Baby also felt that his blood was cold."
Meng Meng's words made Mu Qing Ge's eyebrows furrow even tighter.
Is there a bloody smell on Si Mo's body? How can she not feel it. Every time he appears, Si Mo is in white robes, clean and spotless, like an immortal. On his body, there is a faint fragrance, but not the smell of blood. Meng Meng also said that his blood is cold.
"You won't get it wrong, will you?" Mu Qingge frowned and asked, her tone somewhat skeptical.
Meng Meng proudly puffed out her chest and indignantly said: "Master can choose not to believe, but cannot doubt Meng Meng's abilities!"
"What is your ability?" Mu Qing asked with a strange expression.
Meng Meng was taken aback for a moment before reacting to Mu Qing Ge's words, and suddenly went ballistic: "I hate Master Yin! Master Yin is the worst!"
Mo Qingge was annoyed by her chatter, and casually threw her out. She dug her little finger into her ear and asked impatiently: "You called me in just to say these things?"
"Of course not!" Mengmeng's voice came from afar and suddenly appeared right in front of Muxingge.
She glared at Mu Qing with a burst of anger, but in the next second she leaned on her shoulder, rubbed against her affectionately and coquettishly said: "Meng Meng misses Master Yin."
Mu Qing's mouth twitched and he said clearly: "Did you eat all the medicine again?"
Meng Meng lifted her chubby little face, and in her big, shining eyes sparkled little stars as she nodded vigorously.
Mochi Song gave Mengmeng the medicinal pellets to eat, which were all measured doses. The rest of the medicinal pellets were kept by her in the alchemy room, and Mengmeng didn't dare to steal them either.
Mochi thought for a moment, she had been busy lately and indeed forgot to refine the dan for Mengmeng.
Looking at Xiao Buzhi's wronged expression, she also felt a hint of guilt in her heart, and casually grabbed a bottle of Dan medicine to throw at her.
Meng Meng hastily wrapped her arms tightly around him, and her plump little face suddenly bloomed with joy.
"Since nothing's wrong, I'll head back first." She didn't dare stay too long, afraid of arousing Si Mo's suspicion.
"Wait, Master." Mengmeng hastily called out to Mu Qingge.
Mo Qing looked at her with confusion.
Mengmeng stuffed a dan pill into her mouth and then said: "Master's bloodline has been activated, why not try refining equipment?"
This proposal made Mu Qingge's heart move slightly.
But now is not the right time.
In the end, she shook her head and said to Mengmeng: "Don't rush."
Having said that, he flashed away and left the space.
When she opened her eyes, the pair of deep, dark brown eyes that met hers belonged to Si Mo. The man's eyes crinkled at the corners with a smile, but somehow that feeling made Mu Qing Ge feel like he could see right through her, and she awkwardly turned her head away, shifting her gaze.
……
Sai Miao said that the place where they rested was only one day's distance from Moyang and the others.
So at dusk, their carriage had arrived at the agreed location.
Long牙卫 and Yuè Hé's two maidservants have been waiting for a long time, standing under the sunset with their heads raised in anticipation.
By their side were Han Chai's four attendants. These few days of interaction had made the two groups somewhat familiar with each other, but not overly intimate.
After all, the relationship between masters is not necessarily friendly or enemy.
As they waited, a black carriage finally appeared at the end of the road.
Under the carriage, a golden wind bell was still hanging. As the carriage moved, it kept making crisp sounds.
"Is Master Jue back?" Huayue stood on tiptoes and stretched her neck to look at the carriage, asking Yuhua beside her.
The young lotus shook her head, but her eyes also looked forward with anticipation.
Soon everyone noticed the carriage.
The same expectation appeared in the eyes of both sides.
After a while, the carriage came in front of everyone and slowly stopped.
This move made everyone who was waiting feel delighted and they all rushed up.
The curtain of the carriage was lifted, revealing a splash of red, like the setting sun's afterglow, blending with the sunset on the horizon, complementing each other perfectly.
Mu Qingge jumped down from the carriage and had just stood firm when she saw two maidservants running towards her.
"Little Master!"
Young Lotus and Flower Moon rushed to Mu Qing's side, surrounding her on both sides, examining her carefully.
"Grandpa hasn't lost any weight and isn't injured, no need to look at me like that."
At this time, Mo Yang led the Longya guards to come over, worried and knelt in front of Mu Qing Ge, clasped his fists and bowed his head to pay respects: "Master!"
Gently sing a soft song, and let them rise up.
At this time, Han Cai's attendant walked over and said solemnly: "Mu Xiao, you went with our young master, now that you're back, may I ask where is our young master?"
That tone, as if Mu Qing Ge had done something to their young master.
In an instant, the previously harmonious atmosphere became tense. The Dragon Tooth Guard led by Mo Yang silently surrounded the four people, waiting for Mu Qing Ge's order.
The four of them looked around and also drew out their own weapons, gazing at Mu Qing Ge with anger in their eyes.
Mo Qing's mouth curved into a smile, and he let out a snort of laughter. He waved his hand at Mo Yang and the others, his eyes mocking as he looked at the four attendants: "Do you think I killed your young master?"
The four of them fell silent, but their expressions already spoke volumes.
"Rest assured. As they say, 'calamity begets a thousand years', your young master won't die that easily."
As soon as these words came out, Mu Qingge's camp immediately burst into suppressed laughter.
Han Cai's four attendants' faces changed, and they gritted their teeth as they looked towards Mu Qingge.
"Where is the young master of our house now?"
Mù Qīng Gē slightly raised her chin, shaking her head, as if she was a divine stick: "He is now accepting his fate, when the time comes, he will naturally return home. If you are worried, go to the Sunset Wilderness to find him. However, I said it first, at this moment, he cannot be disturbed. If you guard there, not to mention whether the search process will disturb him or not, what if you attract the attention of others and come to investigate, disturbing your young master's fate? It's likely that you will really harm your young master."
"Stop cheating us!" One of the attendants pointed sharply at Mu Qingge.
Mu Qingge glanced at him sideways, saying disdainfully: "If I had killed Han Cai, why would I still be here chatting with you? Wouldn't it be better to just kill and have no one know?"
"Or do you think I can't kill you?" Mu Qing Ge's eyes were cold and indifferent.
Her words left Han Chai's attendants speechless.
They stood there hesitating for a while before finally gritting their teeth and leaving.
But before leaving, he still left a ruthless remark for Mu Qingge. He said that if Han Cai had any accidents, the Wanxiang Building would not let her off.
"It's really hateful! Young Master had already told them that their master was receiving treatment and was not in great danger. What right do they have to still look so ferocious?" Hua Yue stood up for Mu Qing Ge, feeling indignant on her behalf.
Mo Qingge waved his hand and said indifferently, "They are just worried about the safety of their own masters. If it were you, I'm afraid you would have reacted even more violently."
One sentence left everyone speechless.
"Little song." Suddenly, a low, mellow voice like fine wine came from inside the carriage.
Everyone was stunned, some looked at Mu Qingge in surprise, and then looked at the horse carriage.
Mo Qing's mouth twitched and he turned to walk towards the horse carriage, pulling open the curtain.
A figure in white appeared before the crowd, and when everyone saw Xiao Mo's face clearly, a group of people seemed to have turned into statues, stunned on the spot.
"How can there be such a beautiful person?"
"This kind of appearance is simply not something a mortal can possess!"
"I thought that Korean young master was already at the pinnacle of perfection, but unexpectedly, this man appeared and instantly surpassed him. No, no, no, the Korean young master can't even compare to his own master, how can he be compared to the man in front of him?"
"Hmm, what was Han Shaozheng like? Who still remembers?"
"It seems that in terms of appearance, Master finally met his match!"
Innumerable thoughts flow through people's minds.
From shock to astonishment, as the astonishment in everyone's eyes gradually subsided, they wondered about the identity of this man and why he was with their young master, and even called her so intimately.
Little... Little Song...
They dare to guarantee that if they dared to call it that way, they would definitely be beaten to death without thanks! Hmph!
Mo Yang looked at the two people standing shoulder to shoulder, who were extremely harmonious in both appearance and temperament. It seemed that only such a man could match their young master.
In the introverted and profound eyes, gradually dimming down.
"Little Master, who is this..." asked Yōga softly.
"Oh, just call him Uncle Mo then. A relative from my mother's side of the family."
"Hello, Master Xiao. I am Xiaojie's maid, Youhe." Youhe immediately curtsied to Master Xiao.
However, she immediately exchanged a glance with Huayue and asked: When did the madam's family have relatives? Didn't they say that the madam was an orphaned girl without a maternal family?
Two girls were puzzled in their hearts, but they didn't ask.
Similarly, Moyang, who had been following Muke Song since childhood, also looked at Simo with suspicion after hearing this explanation, with a hint of vigilance in his eyes.
The other Longya guards were unclear about Mu Qing's mother, and after hearing her say so, they didn't think much of it, all calling Si Mo 'Master Mo' like Yu He.
Hua Yue was also shocked and followed with a cry.
Being able to openly and honestly appear in front of Mu Qing's subordinates made Si Mo's mood much better.
Without further delay, everyone continued on their journey, heading towards the State of Yu.
Mù Qīng Gē found her own black carriage, and naturally refused to accept Sī Mò's invitation to ride together. However, this guy was too shameless, and actually squeezed onto her carriage as well.
Originally, in her carriage, apart from herself, there were only Yu He and Hua Yue, the three of them didn't feel cramped inside. But as soon as Si Mo squeezed in, it suddenly felt crowded inside the carriage, even the air seemed to thin out a bit, making Mu Qing Ge feel stifled.
The most hateful thing is that the one who started it all doesn't even realize his own fault!
Mu Qing was so angry that she clenched her teeth all the way, making a "clicking" sound.
Originally, You He and Hua Yue were still somewhat puzzled about Si Mo's identity, but seeing their master being so familiar with him, they also felt relieved.
Anyway, as long as it's not something unfavorable to Young Master, why should they care so much?
……
Yu Guo's capital was called Feng Jia, but it wasn't Mu Qing Ge's destination.
Originally, her plan was to go through Feng Jia and then head to the Medicine Tower Branch in the northwest corner of Yu Guo. However, too many unexpected things happened along the way, causing a lot of delay.
The enrollment time for the Medicine Tower is approaching, and if she goes to Feng Jia for a tour again, she might miss the opportunity to enter the Medicine Tower and have to wait another year.
So she took a shortcut and bypassed Fengjia, going directly from the northwest line of Yu State to Sangzhi City where Yao Ta was located, and joined forces with the Wei siblings.
Only I don't know if they have arrived at Yao Ta yet.
"Sangzhi City." Mu Qingge looked at the map in her hand and didn't think Sangzhi City was anything special, originally just an ordinary town in Yu Guo.
"The Medicine Tower Branch is not actually located in Sangji City. Sangji City is just a town near the Medicine Tower Branch, and it's also famous because of the Medicine Tower." Si Mo said suddenly.
Her eyes flashed, Mu Qingge closed the map and asked: "Why did the Medicine Tower choose to establish a branch in Yu Guo? Why not Lai Guo, Qin Guo, or Ba Guo? Is it really because the people of Yu Guo are more talented in alchemy than others? Or is it just because of the medicinal materials in the Mystic Dream Forest?"
Cai Miao smiled and replied, "The people outside all say that the reason why the Medicine Tower chose to set up a branch in Yu Guo is because of the innate talent of the people of Yu Guo for alchemy. They want to absorb those with talent into the Medicine Tower's headquarters. In fact, this is just an excuse made by the Medicine Tower to shift everyone's attention."
"Oh? Does Medicine Tower have other intentions?" Mu Qing's eyes sparkled with interest.
Si Mo shook his head: "It's not really a deliberate intention. The Medicine Tower was established in Yu Guo, and it chose such a remote place, just because of the Misty Dream Forest."
"Misty Forest? It's just some herbs, is it that important?" Mu Qing Ge said vaguely.
His slender fingers slowly unfolded the map in her hand, pointing to the Mystic Forest: "This forest is the only thing that the Medicine Tower asked for from the Yu Imperial Family when it entered the Yu State. Can you say it's ordinary?"
Mu Qingge furrowed her brow, pursing her lips as she gazed at the map of the Mystic Dream Forest, but didn't say a word.
"In fact, the Mystic Forest isn't that mysterious, it's just a natural treasure trove of medicinal herbs. For alchemists, medicine is life, so this place is like a treasure trove, how could the Medicine Tower not be moved? Of course, in the Linchuan territory, almost every forest has medicinal herbs, but none have as many varieties and quantities as the Mystic Forest. Most importantly, many precious medicinal herbs grow exceptionally well in the Mystic Forest, and once they leave that land, they can't survive. So, the Medicine Tower chose to establish a branch in Yu State mainly because of this treasure land, selecting talented alchemists was just a bonus." Si Mo explained, and couldn't help but smile himself.
He couldn't help but laugh at that group of old men who were almost fighting to the death over a few herbs.
"So that's how it is." Mu Qingge suddenly enlightened.
"The Medicine Tower Branch, every other year, will escort a large amount of medicinal materials and selected innate alchemists back to the Medicine Tower headquarters." Suddenly, Si Mo said something with an unclear meaning.
Mo Qing's eyes lit up, and she understood clearly.
The headquarters of Yao Tower is located within the territory of the Holy Yuan Empire, while Rong Guo is adjacent to the Holy Yuan Empire.
If she could take advantage of this opportunity, ride the Medicine Tower's ship across the Sea of No Return, enter the Sacred Yuan Empire, and then look for opportunities to go to Rong Guo, it would shorten the entire journey and reduce the risks involved.
She looked at Si Mo silently without saying a word.
……
Under the leadership of Yan Ma, they rushed for nearly a month before finally arriving at Sangzhi City.
However, the troops arriving at Sangzhi City had thinned out a lot.
Apart from Mu Qingge, only You He's two maidservants followed. Of course, Si Mo naturally followed her as well.
Mo Yang led the Longya Guard into Yu Guo, where they were ordered by Mu Qing Ge to join forces with the nearest Thousand Valiant Army and continue their training.
Of course, apart from this, Mo Yang also had another task.
That's getting to the bottom of Fengniang in Luoshi Town.
Mochizuki suspected that she was the eldest princess of Ligu, but he was more curious about her husband, Muye, and whether or not he was from Linchuan.
Mo Yang wanted to figure out the whole story, and if possible, she hoped to see Feng Niang again and ask her in person about the situation when Mu Yi went missing.
Murphy admitted that he was a bit careless at first.
Although Fengniang took out the half-god artifact dagger, she had thought that Muyi had encountered an accident in the Luoshen Forest or left for some other reason and didn't have time to send a message back.
However, after hearing the story of Princess Lu Guo, Mu Qing Ge felt that things were not so simple.
Suppose Fengniang was indeed the eldest princess of Ligu, then how could that powerful man in the story have an accident in the humble Luori Forest?
Besides, even if he was forced to leave, how could he not have found a way to send back information and make his wife wait in vain for ten years?
In short, this matter has many doubts, making Mu Qingge have a kind of curiosity to get to the bottom of it.
A mighty army has dwindled down to four people.
Nature also abandoned the carriage. Even their own horses were temporarily exiled to the surrounding forests, waiting for summons.
"Little Master, we've arrived at Sangzhi City." Yuhua smiled and said to Muxing Ge.
Mo Qingge nodded and looked towards the city gate.
At the city gate, there were guards on duty, and many people came and went, but they didn't seem to have undergone any special checks.
"We're leaving." Mu Qingge lifted her feet.
She had an identity certificate issued by the Tuo City Garrison, but unfortunately, it hadn't been used many times. It was just unknown whether Sangzhi City would also require such proof like Tuo City did.
When they arrived at a crowded place, Si Mo leaned in closer to Mu Qing Ge. The latter glared at him several times.
"There are many people." Si Mo said with a shallow smile.
Mo Qing's heart was not in sync with his words, but she could understand what the man was saying. He was complaining that there were too many people here and it was dirty, so he wanted to get closer to her.
"If you dislike crowds, you can fly over from above." Mu Qing Ge said through gritted teeth.
"But unless Xiaoge comes with me," said Si Mo, shaking his head.
"Hey, that's enough." Mu Qingge's mouth twitched violently.
Why has this man changed into a different person over the past month and been acting strangely all day?
The two of them chatted idly, but didn't notice the changes in the people around them.
"Look quickly, those two young masters are really handsome, even more so than the people in paintings!"
"My goodness! Are we seeing gods now?!"
"Such an extraordinary beauty, must be of high status, I wonder what brings them to Sangzhi City?"
"That young master is elegant and refined, with a handsome face that is unmatched. His five features are strong and prominent, his appearance is truly one-of-a-kind. And then there's the little young master, dressed in red like a fiery sun, wild and free-spirited. His five features are exquisitely beautiful and delicate, it's hard to tell whether he's a boy or girl, just one glance and people's hearts start racing with excitement."
However, in an instant, the two became the focus of the crowd.
One red and one white all around, as if in a true vacuum zone, no one dares to approach, only daring to observe carefully from a nearby position.
The young lotus quietly walked a little further away after hearing these idle words. She didn't want to get too close and attract all sorts of deadly stares.
With Mu Qing's cultivation, she could hear the conversations around her without intentionally trying. As for Si Mo, it was even more so. However, both of them treated these discussions as nothing but a gentle breeze in their ears and didn't take them to heart.
When they arrived at the city gate, the guarding guards were also stunned, staring blankly at the two of them with eyes full of astonishment.
Mu Qingge furrowed her brow, just about to step forward and ask questions.
Cai Mo took a step forward and blocked her way, asking: "We want to enter the city, what procedures do we need to go through?"
"Ah! Ah? Oh, you two want to enter the city?" The guard who came back to his senses hastily spoke up.
This time, Si Mo didn't speak again, but instead Yu He walked forward and smiled at the guard: "Guard big brother, we really need to enter the city."
"May I ask, what brings you all into the city?"
Good looks can really change a lot of things, even the tone of this guardian has become gentle and careful, as if afraid of scaring off the two handsome men.
Of course, there are also two distinctively styled dolls.
Xiaohua glanced at Mocheng Ge and the latter nodded almost imperceptibly.
Afterwards, she said to the guard: "Our young master wants to sign up for the Medicine Tower, I wonder if brother guard can give us some directions."
"It turned out that they were going to register at the Medicine Tower!" The guard's expression became even more respectful, and he stepped aside to make way, gesturing for them to enter: "Those who are registering at the Medicine Tower, as well as the disciples of the Medicine Tower, do not need to show anything. Please come in, everyone. However, I'd like to remind you that today's registration deadline is about to expire, so after entering the city, please hurry to the Hundred Herb Building to register."
"Thank you, Guardian Brother." Young He said with a thank you, and handed the gold ingot in his hand to the guardian's palm.
This is a repayment of his kindness.
If he had just let them into the city without saying those reminding words afterwards, he probably wouldn't have earned this gold ingot.
After the four of them had walked far away, the guard finally came out of his daze.
He opened his palm and found a gold nugget about one-third of the size of his palm lying in it, shining brightly.
Four people entered the city of Sangzhi, and the surrounding buildings were quite special. The main body was mostly in cyan and white, with blue tiles and white walls, looking very simple and elegant.
"This Sangzhi City is quite interesting." Mu Qingge looked around and found that there were particularly many pharmacies in this city.
Almost every one or two shops, there will be a sign of a pharmacy. Moreover, the pedestrians on the street, in addition to ordinary civilians, also have many people wearing white robes and green shirts, walking among various pharmacies.
"Sangzhi City, I've actually been here twice. However, this is still the first time entering from the city gate." Si Mo smiled at her.
Mu Qingge lazily replied to Yu Tong, "Ask the guard about the way to Bai Cao Lou."
"Yes, young master." Yōko nodded and took orders, and went with Hanazuki to gather information separately.
Before long, the two maidservants returned and reported to Mu Qingge: "Young Master, we have already found out the location of Baicao Building. The guard did not lie, today is indeed the last day for Yaotai to accept apprentices. Moreover, it will end in just one hour."
Mù Qīng Gē nodded and said to Yòu Hé, "Huā Yuè Lǐng Lù, you go find a quiet place to stay. I reckon we'll be staying in Sāng Zhī City for a few more days."
The young lotus bows and withdraws.
Huā Yuè then walked ahead, leading the way for the two of them.
On the road, Mu Qing sang softly to Si Mo: "Sang Zhi City has arrived, when are you leaving?"
"Little Song, can't wait for me to leave?" Si Mo's amber-colored eyes, with a hint of hurt emotions, looked at Mu Qing Ge.
It's as if Mu Qing Ge is a heartless scoundrel who abandons people after using them.
"You said you had something to do when you came here, didn't you? Why are you still lingering around and not going to take care of your business?" Mu Qing Ge frowned.
"Is Xiaoge annoyed with me for being a nuisance?" Si Mo's voice became even more aggrieved.
"What exactly do you want to do?"
"I don't want to do anything, I just want to be with you." Si Mo thought in his heart. But seeing Mu Qingge's gloomy face, he didn't say it.
After a while, he said: "Xiao Ge'er, don't worry. When it's time for me to leave, I will naturally leave. After you enter the Medicine Tower, I will be gone."
"Hmph." Mu Qingge flicked her sleeve and quickly took a few steps back, increasing the distance between them.
That appearance seems to be an angry and arrogant rascal.
But actually, she felt somewhat uncomfortable in her heart after getting his exact departure time.
It feels strange, she can't wait for Si Mo to leave immediately, but when she knows he really has to go, she feels uncomfortable.
"Why is it so strange?" Mu Qingge frowned and muttered.
This emotion exceeded her cognition and made her unclear why.
"Don't think about it if you can't figure it out! Just go with the flow!" Mu Qingge said to herself in her heart, and her gloomy face slightly eased up.
Always paying attention to Mu Qing's song, Si Mo suddenly saw her complexion and felt a little disappointed.
"It seems that this little girl really can't wait to leave. As soon as she heard that she was going, her complexion improved a lot." This result made Si Mo helpless.
Sangzhi City is not big, but Baicao Building is very famous.
So, without much effort, the three of them arrived outside Baicao Building.
However, outside the building, there was still a long queue of people waiting, apparently all students preparing to sign up for the Medicine Tower.
Mu Qingge swept his gaze over the queue, this endless queue that seemed to have no end in sight. If they were to wait until the very last person, it would probably take at least an hour just to get through the line.
"Stinky Wei Qi, I saw Mu Ge!"
"Shut up, you stinky girl! I saw it too!"
Some familiar bickering voices came over, and before Mu Qing Ge could turn around to look, someone was already calling out her name.
"Admire the song!"
She raised her eyes and saw Mu Qing singing with a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.
The Wei siblings actually came.
Looking at the Wei siblings desperately waving at her, Mu Qing Ge whispered to Si Mo: "I'm going to see two friends."
"What? I'm not convenient to meet Xiaoge's friends?" Si Mo said with a hint of a smile.
Mu Qingge looked at him with narrowed eyes.
She knew that if she didn't take him with her, he would go there by himself anyway.
"Let's go." Wrinkling her brow, Mu Qingge compromised.
Sai Mo smiled contentedly, and on his handsome face, he looked pleased as punch.
He quietly followed Mu Qing's back, sizing up her friends.
"Mu Ge, we've finally waited for you! I was afraid you wouldn't come!" As soon as they met, Wei Qianqian warmly jumped to Mu Qingge's side and linked her arm.
As for Wei Juan's intimate behavior, Mu Qingge was already used to it, so she didn't resist too much.
It was Wei Qi who walked up to Mu Qing Ge, looking a bit embarrassed, and after hesitating for half a day, he made a fist and bowed, calling out: "Uncle Mu."
"Cough cough." As soon as she opened her mouth, Mu Qing almost choked and had trouble breathing.
"Deadly Wei, look at you scaring Muge!" Wei Qianqian immediately stood up for her. People who didn't know the situation would think that Mu Qingge was her family member and Wei Qi was her enemy.
"Admiring Uncle?" Si Mo's eyes gleamed with interest as he gazed at Mu Qingge's back of the head, his eyes narrowing slightly.
"You think I want to?! It's all because of your dad's pressure." Wei Qi said with a bad tone.
"Alright. Your dad is your dad, and you are you. Let's just be equals and interact with each other normally, calling me uncle or whatever is really awkward." Mu Qing Ge made up her mind at first.
In an instant, the previously somewhat listless siblings suddenly came back to life as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
"Huh? Who are you? Why are you so good-looking?" It was then that the two of them discovered Si Mo's presence. The one who spoke up was naturally the straightforward Wei Juanjuan.
Si Mo's mouth curved into a gentle smile as he looked at Mu Qing Ge, waiting for her introduction.
Mu Qing Ge pulled the corner of her mouth and said to the Wei family siblings: "This is my cousin, Sang Mo, you can just call him Mo Da Ye." After that, she said to Si Mo: "They are the children of Wei Guo Taicheng's Wei Lin Cang, Wei Qi and Wei Qiu Qiu."
"So you're Mu Ge's older cousin! Why do they call you Mo Da Ye? Can't we just call you Older Cousin like Mu Ge does?" Wei Qiongqiong asked with a smile.
This man is really good-looking, although she still likes Murakami more. But looking at a handsome man makes eating more enjoyable too!
"As you wish." Si Mo replied with a faint smile.
To friends who recognize Mu Qing's song, he is still very tolerant.
"Then we'll call you brother-in-law." Wei Qi also smiled and said.
Mu Qing Ge was speechless in her heart. She had never called Si Mo 'brother-in-law' before, but this identity was something she had revealed herself, and now it was too late to take back.
"Right, and these two are..." Mu Qing Ge slightly raised her eyes, looking at the man and woman standing not far behind the Wei family siblings.
These two people were dressed in a very special way, with a strong sense of ethnic costumes that Mu Qing had seen before.
Among them, the young man had a strong and handsome face, with slightly dark skin, long hair braided into one braid, tied up with a ribbon. The girl was innocent and lovely, like crystal, delicate and pretty, with a embroidered headscarf on her head. Her legs were exposed outside, only wrapped around with exquisite cloth strips.
"Right! I forgot to introduce you." Wei Qi patted her forehead and hastily introduced Mu Qingge: "These two are our new friends, Fu Tianlong and Shui Ling. They both come from Ba Country."
"Are you Mu Ge? I've heard Weiqi and Cuicui talk about you for a long time, and today I finally get to see the real person." The girl from Ba country named Shuiling didn't show any shyness at all when meeting for the first time. As soon as Weiqi finished introducing herself, she jumped to Mu Qingge's other side, imitating Weicui's mannerisms by hooking her arm around Mu Qingge's and even winked at her.
Mù Qīng Gē was somewhat taken aback by the girl's forwardness, and just as she was about to withdraw her arm, she heard the girl whispering in her ear in a very soft voice: "I know your secret, sister!"
