After entering the Wei Mansion, Mu Qingge went straight to find Uncle Zhou. Unable to reason with the obtuse siblings, she knew she had to talk to soone sensible.
After recounting the gist of the situation to Uncle Zhou, Mu Qingge laid out her plans: "Uncle Zhou, this matter started because of , and there’s no need to involve the Wei Family. Moreover, I have my own way to resolve it, and having Wei Qi and Wei Guanguan stay beside would be inconvenient. For their safety, I ask you to keep a close eye on them."
Uncle Zhou listened, his face serious. He agreed with Mu Qingge’s words, but worriedly asked, "This concerns the entire Zhi City’s forces. How do you plan to extricate yourself?" After deliberating, he resolved, "You are a benefactor and friend to our young master and miss. If it cos to it, I can ask the City Lord to step in."
Wei Linlang?
Involving Wei Linlang might escalate the situation further.
Mu Qingge shook her head and firmly refused, "No need, I can handle it."
Seeing her determination, Uncle Zhou refrained from persuading further, rely suggesting leaving so Wei Family guards to protect Mu Qingge.
Mu Qingge also declined.
When it cos to guards, she only trusted the combat strength of her Dragon Tooth Guards.
Although the Wei Family guards were also skilled in the Yellow and Green Realms, they still lagged behind the Dragon Tooth Guards.
Currently, she had only one group of Dragon Tooth Guards with her, just over twenty people. Although few in number, they were more agile. In her previous life, she was alone and could still toy with those powerful forces. Now with support, should she fear a city’s force?
After bidding farewell to Uncle Zhou, Mu Qingge returned to her temporary residence and imdiately summoned Mo Yang.
Soon after, Mo Yang left the courtyard.
anwhile, the rest of the Dragon Tooth Guards quietly left the mansion and dispersed around Zhi City.
There’s no ti to lose; Mu Qingge planned to leave tonight.
As for those who harbored ambitions against her, she would kill as many as ca. However...
Mu Qingge’s gaze fell on the map laid out on the table.
The place where her fingertip rested was the location of Yu Zhi Town. She seed to think that she should prepare a lavish gift for the person she was about to et, to ensure protocol was followed!
Mu Qingge’s eyes slowly narrowed, a sharp cold glint flashing within the slits.
...
anwhile, news reached many forces in Zhi City.
The owner of the elixir being auctioned in Wanxiang Building was a young, stunningly handso youth in red. Accompanying him were the young master and miss of the Tu City Wei Mansion.
Suddenly, nurous powerful factions tried various channels to discover Mu Qingge’s background, but to no avail.
A person does not just appear out of thin air.
So, there was only one possibility: she was not from Li Country.
Since she was not from Li Country, what else did they have to fear?
Wei Linlang? No matter how powerful, this was not his Tu City. Would he really oppose the entire Zhi City for a girl?
Suddenly, the winds of change surged darkly through Zhi City.
Almost every faction coveting the Nine Lives Reversal Pill had covertly dispatched people to keep a tight watch on the Wei Mansion’s movents. More precisely, on Mu Qingge’s movents.
When the news reached the Zhu Mansion, and they learned that the adversarial person was the ragtag whom they’d had a dispute with outside Wanxiang Building, Zhu Li threw a fit, smashing countless ornants.
"Call everyone back to ! I want to make sure that boy never leaves Zhi City!" Zhu Li said viciously, while Yin Zhe’s eyes sparkled with malice.
...
Zhi City, Ge Family.
The storm in Zhi City had reached the Ge Family.
In terms of gratitude, Mu Qingge was a benefactor of the Ge Family. At this mont, with their benefactor in trouble, what choice would the Ge Family make?
The Ge Family Head sat under the lamplight, his brows tightly furrowed, seemingly contemplating this serious issue.
Soon, the door opened, and the Ge Young Master entered with the help of a servant. "Father."
The Ge Family Head looked up quickly, "Why aren’t you resting properly; what are you doing here?"
"I ca to see Father," the Ge Young Master said after sitting down.
"What’s there to see in a weary father?" The Ge Family Head avoided his son’s gaze.
Yet, the Ge Young Master wouldn’t let his father dodge, "Isn’t Father planning to help? That person is my benefactor."
The Ge Young Master’s face hardened, lowering his gaze to hide it: "Since that person refused our gratitude, naturally they do not want to associate with our Ge Family. In that case, why should we get involved in this ss?"
"Father!" The Ge Young Master’s brow furrowed slightly.
The Ge Family Head raised his hand: "As the Family Head, I must consider the Ge Family’s wellbeing. That person’s origin is unknown; who knows his identity? He could leave after the matter is resolved, but what about our Ge Family? Our roots are in Zhi City; should we bear the wrath of the entire city’s forces for an outsider? I have decided we will not intervene in this matter!"
His father’s words left the Ge Young Master silent.
Although discontent, he understood that his father’s concerns were not unfounded.
After a long pause, he sighed and left his father’s room with the aid of the servants.
"Tonight, Zhi City is fated to be restless," the Ge Family Head lanted, gazing up at the starry sky!
