In the black stele, the whirlpool seed like a door, opening a gateway, revealing the mysterious black object.
However, Mu Qingge was completely helpless with it.
As soon as she got close, she would be hurt by the unknown black substance, and her spiritual power would be devoured.
’What should I do?’
Mu Qingge stared at the stele, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.
Since she had found what Si Mo wanted, she had to find a way to take it out, no matter what.
"I can’t touch it, what about using a dium?" Mu Qingge muttered to herself.
Suddenly, she hardened her heart and said, "Might as well just collect it all into the space!"
This was a risky move because she didn’t know what would happen if she collected this mysterious object into the space. But she still did it.
Mu Qingge thought for a mont and released Yuanyuan.
"Mom boss, what are your instructions?" As soon as Yuanyuan appeared, Mu Qingge was thunderstruck once again.
This pink attire, although quite suitable for Yuanyuan’s chubby appearance, wasn’t it a bit too feminine?
Mu Qingge’s mouth twitched slightly. She said to him, "Go outside and ask Mo Yang and the others to back away a bit."
"Consider it done!" Yuanyuan made a salute motion with his little leg and disappeared from Mu Qingge’s sight in a flash.
Soon, Yuanyuan returned and said to Mu Qingge, "Mom boss, they’ve already retreated."
Mu Qingge nodded and took Yuanyuan back.
Then she communicated with ngng, ’Why was our connection broken just now?’
’It must be because the main Silver entered another space, and that space has isolation abilities.’ ngng quickly provided the answer.
Without dwelling on this issue, Mu Qingge told ngng that she was going to throw large objects into the space and started frantically collecting all the stones.
In the Transmission Sea, those stones disappeared one by one, all collected into Mu Qingge’s space.
Inside the space, ngng looked up, amazed by the stones continuously falling from the sky. "Master Silver is too ruthless! It’s simply like leaving no stone unturned! No! It’s going to strip this place bare!"
Despite the complaints, ngng quickly organized the stones thrown into the space by Mu Qingge after recovering.
Thousands of stones were all collected into Mu Qingge’s space.
Only white sand and the traces of large stones remained on the Transmission Sea.
"Now, it’s just you left!" After completing the outside, Mu Qingge turned her gaze to the black stele.
Mu Qingge thought for a mont and took off the Palace Bell from her waist, throwing it into the space.
The black stele, having lost the Palace Bell, trembled all over, and a powerful, destructive, violent aura surged from the stele.
Mu Qingge’s eyes narrowed sharply, and she opened the space channel, preparing to collect the stele.
However, before she could act, the aura of Si Mo from the Palace Bell in the space caused the black stele to jump into Mu Qingge’s space on its own.
This self-delivered scene made Mu Qingge’s mouth twitch as she quickly closed the space entrance.
Rumble, rumble, rumble——!
Suddenly, Mu Qingge felt a violent tremor from within her space.
ngng’s frightened voice ca, ’Master Silver, what did you bring in here!’
Mu Qingge blinked, pondering if sothing had gone wrong in the space?
Before she could figure it out, she felt the ground beginning to tremble violently, as if an earthquake had occurred.
Cracks and fissures appeared before her eyes, splitting the ground beneath her feet.
...
"The aura has disappeared!" Outside the Ancient Ruins, Si Mo held the Palace Bell, frowning slightly.
He closed his eyes and calculated in his heart. When he opened them suddenly, a sharp glint burst out. Instantly, he disappeared from the spot.
Inside the Ancient Ruins, the entire ground was unsteady, and Mu Qingge quickly rushed out, thinking, ’Could it be that I caused such a huge reaction by taking that thing away?’
At this mont, she certainly didn’t have an answer.
As Mu Qingge erged, she saw Mo Yang and others waiting anxiously.
Seeing that she was unhard, they all breathed a sigh of relief and quickly surrounded her.
"Young Master!"
"Young Master!"
"Young Master!"
Surrounded by the Dragon Tooth Guards, Mu Qingge nodded slightly and instructed them, "Let’s leave here first and talk later."
They rushed towards the entrance of the maze, but upon arrival, they discovered that the ground had cracked and the collapsing structures were not only in the Transmission Sea but seed to involve the entire Ancient Ruins.
’How could this be happening? I only took a few steles!’ Mu Qingge was shocked.
Oh co on, Young Master Mu, it wasn’t a few, but a few thousand!
"Let’s just get out first," Mu Qingge pursed her lips and led the way by jumping into the maze.
It was best if they could return the way they ca and exit the Ancient Ruins.
What about the others?
Could they escape safely?
The eight of them dashed through the maze, and the newly learned Star Beginning Step ca in handy! This step, which doesn’t consu spiritual power but relies on physical strength and steps, is simply a runaway artifact!
Of course, it’s also excellent for assassination!
Leading the Dragon Tooth Guards, Mu Qingge ran around the maze according to her mory. However, with the ground shaking, so walls of the maze began to collapse, and the routes were destroyed. They couldn’t go back the sa way, leaving them to run by instinct.
Suddenly, they ran into a group of people head-on.
Mu Qingge suddenly stopped, and the other party did the sa.
"Mu Qingge!"
"Jiang Li!"
The sudden encounter surprised both of them.
Unfortunately, it wasn’t the ti for a reunion. They exchanged a glance, and their respective teams rged, running in another direction.
"What’s going on? Why did the Ancient Ruins suddenly collapse?" Jiang Li asked as he ran.
Mu Qingge pressed her lips tightly together and didn’t answer.
In fact, she felt a little guilty.
Seeing she didn’t answer, Jiang Li looked at her with golden eyes and guessed, "Did you move sothing?"
Mu Qingge was about to humorously reply that he was correct.
However, before she could speak, a sharp cracking sound ca from the sky, and the entire ground shook even more violently. Large sections of the ruins began to collapse.
If they didn’t escape, they would be buried alive here.
"The ruins are collapsing; everyone quickly exit through this opening!" At that mont, Si Mo’s voice suddenly sounded from the sky.
Mu Qingge was the first to react. She looked up at the sky and saw that, indeed, the broken part of the sky had ford a huge whirlpool, as if there was a black hole inside.
Without much thought, Mu Qingge said to Jiang Li, "Go!" Then she leaped from the ground, heading straight for the whirlpool.
Her figure was particularly striking in the sky.
In bright red clothing, like a fla, she shot into the whirlpool, a sight that everyone scattered throughout the ruins saw.
Mo Yang, leading the Dragon Tooth Guards, pursued Mu Qingge.
Jiang Li also gritted her teeth and led the people from the Ancient Witch Country towards the whirlpool in the sky.
Subsequently, people from the ruins jumped into the whirlpool one after another. No one expected that, after finally entering the Ancient Ruins, the adventure would be cut short, forcing them to flee so embarrassingly.
This unexpected event ca so suddenly, leaving people at a loss.
The first to jump into the whirlpool, Mu Qingge felt herself fall from the sky instantly.
Before she could stabilize herself, a large hand wrapped around her waist, pulling her into a warm embrace.
The familiar fragrance and familiar white clothing made Mu Qingge relax and rest in the man’s arms.
Si Mo held Mu Qingge, carefully protecting her in his embrace as they descended slowly.
His disregard for others made Gu Ya, the single person, feel hurt with a thousand points.
In Si Mo’s eyes, there was only Mu Qingge. After catching her, he ignored the others erging behind. Gu Ya originally didn’t plan to bother, but considering that this exit was hastily opened by his master, any unexpected mishap could cause a collapse, leading those inside to be devoured by countless space rifts, he still felt a twinge of compassion.
Of course, the main reason was that quite a few people inside had a close relationship with Mu Qingge.
If they died here, and Mu Qingge blad him, who would he cry to?
The extrely wronged Gu Ya had no choice but to resign himself to guard the exit, catching those uncontrollable bodies and bringing them to safety.
Following Mu Qingge closely, Mo Yang ca out with the Dragon Tooth Guards. Then, it was Jiang Li and those female officials and guards of the Ancient Witch Country...
On one side, the black hole kept spewing out people, while on the other side, Si Mo had already taken Mu Qingge a bit farther away.
As soon as they stopped, Si Mo’s eyes began actively examining Mu Qingge.
Noticing the worry in his eyes, Mu Qingge smiled at him and said, "I’m fine."
Upon hearing her assurance and confirming that she indeed had no injuries, Si Mo finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as he was about to say a few words to her, Mu Qingge’s expression changed suddenly, and she urged, "Quickly take your things away, or they’ll destroy my space!"
Having said that, Mu Qingge waved her hand, and a palace bell along with a black stone tablet abruptly appeared.
The mont the black stone tablet appeared, Si Mo’s amber eyes narrowed sharply.
At this mont, an eerie scene unfolded; after the ergence of the black stone tablet, it abandoned its entanglent with Mu Qingge’s palace bell and directly hurled towards Si Mo.
Mu Qingge was taken aback and was about to act when she saw Si Mo extend his arm and directly grasp the mysterious object in the stone tablet, which she could not approach no matter what.
Before Mu Qingge’s eyes, that thing flashed and then disappeared.
It seed Si Mo had taken it away.
The black stone tablet instantly turned ashy gray, shattered into dust before them, and vanished with a gust of wind.
Mu Qingge stared wide-eyed at this scene and then looked towards Si Mo.
Si Mo opened his hand, and Mu Qingge’s palace bell fell into his palm.
Then, Si Mo lifted his other hand and wiped the palace bell, causing the black substance attached to it to disappear. The palace bell returned to its brilliant golden appearance.
Under Mu Qingge’s gaze, Si Mo lowered his eyes, reattached the palace bell to Mu Qingge’s waist cincture, and gently brushed over it.
"Is everything okay?" Mu Qingge looked at him and asked.
Si Mo nodded lightly.
He lifted his amber eyes, with a deep gaze at Mu Qingge, sincerely saying, "Little Ge’er, thank you."
This seed to be the first ti Si Mo had thanked her.
Mu Qingge’s lips curled into a vibrant smile. She raised an eyebrow, patted Si Mo’s chest, and lightly lifted her chin, saying, "No need to thank , consider it a betrothal gift."
Si Mo was montarily stunned, looking at Mu Qingge’s smiling eyes, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes, yet he indulgently said, "Alright, I’ll accept Little Ge’er’s betrothal gift."
Mu Qingge laughed heartily, "Having accepted my betrothal gift, you’re mine from now on!"
"Yes, Little Lord," Si Mo said dotingly.
Suddenly, Mu Qingge’s smile froze, and she lowered her voice to Si Mo, "The sudden collapse of the Ancient Ruins, could it be because I took this thing?" She rembered that indeed, after removing the black stone tablet, changes began to occur.
However, Si Mo shook his head at her with a smile.
As she showed a puzzled look, he said, "It has nothing to do with you. Soone else took away a supre treasure. The existence of this place was for that treasure to find a new owner. Apparently, it has found one. Therefore, this place, long destined to vanish in ti, has no reason to exist anymore."
Mu Qingge’s eyes widened suddenly with astonishnt, "A supre treasure! Who’s so fortunate?"
Feeling no excessive disappointnt that the treasure didn’t end up with her, Mu Qingge thought of what she had actually gained from these ruins.
While they were talking, those who entered the Ancient Ruins had already made their escape through the black hole.
Si Mo returned with Mu Qingge, his gaze imdiately landing on Shen Bicheng.
When Shen Bicheng saw him, her eyes didn’t waver in the slightest.
"Little Ge’er said, you want to beco my disciple?" Si Mo suddenly asked.
Surprised, Mu Qingge looked at him, seemingly not expecting him to bring this matter up now.
Before, when she proposed this, Si Mo’s attitude had always been ambiguous.
Now, his attitude had beco definite. Could it be because the person who acquired the supre treasure was Shen Bicheng?
Mu Qingge’s eyes shimred as she uncovered the key to the situation.
Si Mo’s words caused Shen Bicheng’s body to tremble, a trace of excitent flashed in his eyes. Huangfu Huan also beca nervous, even his breathing turned a bit rapid.
Although, in the words of His Majesty the Holy King, he was not ntioned.
But, he believed in Mu Qingge, believed that His Majesty the Holy King already knew his intentions.
Shen Bicheng suddenly knelt on one knee and said to Si Mo, "Please accept as your disciple, Your Majesty the Holy King!"
Si Mo said indifferently, "Following will require enduring far more than you can imagine. Moreover, you must sever ties with your family, bear endless loneliness, and not even have the chance to regret."
Shen Bicheng raised his head, looked at him, his eyes full of stubbornness, and gave his answer, "Please accept as your disciple, Your Majesty the Holy King!"
The Holy King, who had never taken a disciple, suddenly wanted to take on a student!
This news stunned the others.
Shen Bicheng’s good fortune made them envious, even secretly wishing that if only they could also be noticed by His Majesty the Holy King!
Yet, they understood the gap between themselves and Shen Bicheng.
The top talent of the Holy Yuan Empire was not just an idle boast!
"You should be very aware of what stirred my heart to take on a disciple. Even so, do you still wish it?" Si Mo’s tone remained noble and unattainable, yet distant.
Shen Bicheng pressed his lips together and said solemnly, "I know. Please accept as your disciple, Your Majesty the Holy King!"
Si Mo’s gaze shifted from him to Huangfu Huan. "To be my disciple, you can never betray , even if I ask you to die, you must die. Think it through, three days later, co to Li Palace to find ."
With that, Si Mo took Mu Qingge and disappeared before everyone’s eyes.
Once they left, those who remained were left bewildered.
The only ones who understood were Shen Bicheng and Huangfu Huan.
Especially Huangfu Huan, even though Si Mo had never ntioned his na, he knew clearly that the last words were not only for Shen Bicheng but also for him.
...
Mu Qingge only felt a stream of light passing before her eyes, and upon landing, she had already been brought into the Li Palace by Si Mo.
Mu Qingge looked at him and asked, "You wouldn’t have decided to take them as disciples because of what I said, would you?"
"What does my little Ge’er think?" Si Mo looked at her with a smile.
Mu Qingge gave a cunning smile, "I think you found out that the one who took the treasure was Shen Bicheng, so you decided to take him as a disciple. However, you made it clear from the start that you had a purpose in taking him, and since he is willing, it’s a case of one willing to hit and the other willing to suffer, no one can bla anyone."
"My clever little Ge’er," Si Mo said, his brows slightly curved.
Mu Qingge pouted and said discontentedly, "Stop always treating like a child."
After a complaint, she continued, "But, for what reason did you take Huangfu Huan? Don’t think I didn’t notice, your last words were said to both of them."
"Didn’t I say my little Ge’er is smart, nothing can be hidden from you." Si Mo embraced Mu Qingge, holding her close to his chest, savoring the feeling.
Playing with Mu Qingge’s hair, he whispered in her ear, "Huangfu Huan’s cultivation talent may not be as good as Shen Bicheng’s, but he has a keen mind. He might not be a warrior who can expand territories, but he is a rare strategist. With Huangfu Huan’s intellect paired with Shen Bicheng’s talent, they could accomplish sothing great."
Mu Qingge was dumbfounded, pointing at him and said, "What you’re doing isn’t taking on disciples; you’re clearly recruiting subordinates!"
Si Mo smiled, neither denying nor affirming it.
The smile on Mu Qingge’s face gradually faded.
Even though she had established a relationship with Si Mo, to her, he remained very mysterious.
Where did he co from? Who is in his family? What is he carrying on his shoulders?
She didn’t know.
However, Mu Qingge also didn’t want to ask. She felt that if one day, Si Mo felt it was ti to tell her, he would willingly do so without her needing to ask.
Just like her imnse curiosity about that black mysterious object taken from the Ancient Ruins.
Even now, she hadn’t seen clearly what it looked like.
Si Mo took it away without any explanation. She also didn’t want to ask.
If he didn’t say anything, it could only an that it wasn’t sothing she was ant to know at this mont.
"I’m sowhat curious about what exactly Shen Bicheng took," Mu Qingge raised her eyebrows as she looked at Si Mo.
Si Mo paused, staring at her, scrutinizing her for a mont, then suddenly hugged her tightly, bringing her close to his chest, listening to his strong and powerful heartbeat.
Mu Qingge obediently leaned against him, not resisting.
The sound of the heartbeat entered her ears, rging with her own heartbeat.
Everything is understood without words.
After a while, Si Mo released his arms and said to Mu Qingge with a smile, "There will be a chance to know."
Mu Qingge smiled slightly and didn’t continue to probe.
Si Mo probably thought she would ask him what that thing was. However, she deliberately didn’t ask, instead, she inquired about Shen Bicheng.
Their earlier silence was a natural tacit understanding between the two.
She didn’t ask, and he didn’t say.
It wasn’t concealnt, just that the ti wasn’t right.
As long as he doesn’t let her down, she won’t let him down. Even if he uses that thing to kill everyone in the world, so what?
And Si Mo’s answer had multiple anings.
Not only did it respond to Mu Qingge’s previous question, but it also made a promise. He would eventually tell her what that strange and violent thing was.
"By the way! Do you know what the Divine Strategy is?" Mu Qingge suddenly rembered her scripture and asked.
"Divine Strategy!" Si Mo’s always calm eyes slightly narrowed. This small action was still captured by Mu Qingge.
Under Mu Qingge’s gaze, Si Mo slowly nodded, "Of course I know. In the era of gods and demons, it was the strongest cultivation technique among the Divine Clan. It’s said that those of the Divine Clan who cultivated it would beco the strongest god, with the greatest chance of breaking through the void and entering a higher realm. However, a long, long ti ago, during a great battle, the Divine Strategy disappeared."
The strongest cultivation technique!
Mu Qingge felt her heart surge. This strongest cultivation technique, she now had a volu with her!
"Where is the end of the higher realm?" Mu Qingge murmured.
This question was one even Si Mo could not answer. "No one knows. It’s like climbing a mountain, always thinking the peak you’re on is the highest, but when you reach the top, you discover there are even higher mountains nearby. Even when standing on the highest peak, there is still so distance to the sky."
"How many volus does the Divine Strategy have?" Mu Qingge asked.
This question made Si Mo’s eyes flash as he replied, "It’s said to have three volus: the upper is the Body Refining Technique, the middle is the Refining Divine Skill, and the lower is the Great Dao Laws, Origin of Technique."
Mu Qingge was slightly dazed.
Si Mo looked at her and continued, "Having one volu is already incredibly formidable, but no one has ever possessed all three."
’Has no one ever possessed all three?’ Mu Qingge thought silently to herself.
However, though she had obtained one volu, she couldn’t understand the Divine Clan’s language.
"Little Ge’er, although I don’t believe in fate, so things truly cannot escape the word ’chance.’ What is ant to be yours, will be yours. What isn’t, cannot be forced." Si Mo suddenly said to Mu Qingge.
This sentence imdiately lifted the clouds from Mu Qingge’s gloomy mood, revealing the clear sky.
Her clear eyes shimred as she looked at Si Mo, "I understand."
Leaving Si Mo, Mu Qingge planned to return to the Post House in Tiandu City. Having been away for so long, she needed to check on the remaining people and prepare for the return journey since things were settled.
Si Mo had once said he stayed in Linchuan to find that item.
Now that he had obtained the item, he would probably leave Linchuan as well.
However, she didn’t plan to ask, nor did she plan to have so sort of farewell.
Partings were sothing she could never get used to.
After all, they both had their own things to do; they would et when they could, and leave when they had to. One day, when she could enter his world and stand side by side with him, there might no longer be these small farewells.
Mu Qingge’s heart was understood by Si Mo.
So, he didn’t say any farewell words.
Their Palace Bell was their best connection. No matter where they were, they could sense each other’s existence.
Before Mu Qingge left, she asked him if he could transfer spiritual power through the Palace Bell.
His answer was a no.
This exception was entirely due to the special nature of that item, resulting in such an outco.
Watching Mu Qingge leave, Si Mo murmured in an extrely soft voice, "Little Ge’er, did you obtain the Divine Strategy? Fate truly loves playing tricks on people! But..." His eyes suddenly sharpened, his tone firm, "I never believe in fate!"
...
Upon returning to the Post House, Mo Yang and the others had already been brought back by Gu Ya.
How they were brought back was not ntioned, nor did she ask.
Mu Qingge directly went to find Zhao Nanxing and Feng Yufei.
"How was it? Any gains?" Mu Qingge asked straightforwardly.
Zhao Nanxing and Feng Yufei exchanged bitter smiles.
"We hadn’t even started our treasure hunting journey when, right after defeating a monster, we were brought out," Zhao Nanxing said, spreading his hands.
Feng Yufei also nodded.
This trip to Tiandu didn’t seem very fruitful.
Mu Qingge smiled slightly, waved her hand, and a pile of cultivation techniques and weapons fell in front of them.
So of these were obtained from Ancient Ruins, while others were from her own space. "You two can distribute them. How to divide them is a matter for your Li Country and Yu Country."
"This..." Zhao Nanxing looked at her in shock.
Feng Yufei shook his head, "We can’t take these."
Zhao Nanxing also nodded in agreent, "Right! These are things you obtained, we can’t take them."
"It’s okay, I’m keeping what’s mine," Mu Qingge insisted, preventing their refusal.
She initially intended to give two of the three imitation pieces to them. Despite being imitations, they were top-grade treasures and rare in Linchuan.
However, the three top-grade treasures included a fork, a double axe, and a hamr.
At a glance, none matched Zhao Nanxing and Feng Yufei’s temperant.
So, she decided to abandon that idea and planned to organize her space properly and see if there were more suitable weapons for them.
Alternatively, she could refine her Artifact Refining Technique at so point and personally create top-grade weapons for them.
"What about mine?" Jiang Li, who had already made the Post House of the Third-class Country her ho, suddenly appeared.
She glanced at the pile of items on the table, her gaze falling on Mu Qingge.
Mu Qingge seed to have expected her arrival, smiled, and said, "I’ve long prepared for this." With that, she tossed a Suru Ring into Jiang Li’s hand.
Jiang Li received the Suru Ring, swept it with her spiritual sense, and was imdiately astonished.
The contents inside were indeed... incredibly rich!
Faced with Mu Qingge’s smiling expression, Jiang Li showed no reservation, accepted the Suru Ring, and said, "Then I won’t be polite with you."
Mu Qingge teased her, "As if you’ve ever been polite with ."
After the Trial Space battle, this was the first ti the group sat together so leisurely and chatted.
After chatting for a while, Jiang Li said to Mu Qingge, "Since things here are finished, I plan to take people back to the Ancient Witch Country in the next two days. When you co to the Ancient Witch Country, I’ll give you a proper welco."
"Why are you leaving so soon?" Feng Yufei said a little reluctantly.
After spending ti together, she truly grew fond of Jiang Li, the Empress of the Ancient Witch Country.
Such an unpretentious, grounded, and righteous empress was truly a refreshing presence among the Imperial Family’s nobility!
Jiang Li sighed, "I have no choice, a country cannot go a day without a ruler. I’ve been away from the Ancient Witch Country for too long, if I don’t return soon, those old ancestors in my country might co to Tiandu to catch ."
Saying this, she looked at Mu Qingge, "Sotis, I really envy how you can live so freely."
"You can too, as long as you’re willing to let go of the Ancient Witch Country," Mu Qingge joked.
Jiang Li said, "The responsibility that cos with Ancient Witch Country is a matter of bloodline. Unless I can find a more outstanding bloodline and abdicate, only then will I be free!"
"That... is difficult," Mu Qingge laughed.
Jiang Li nodded in dismay, "Indeed not easy."
However, she quickly regained her spirits and said to Mu Qingge, "But I’ll try hard! Maybe one day, I’ll co to find you!"
"You’re very welco," Mu Qingge nodded and smiled.
"Qingge, when are we departing? Are you... planning to stay in Tiandu for a while?" Zhao Nanxing asked cautiously. Now, the relationship between Mu Qingge and the Holy King was well-known.
When people are in love, how could they bear to part?
Zhao Nanxing had already prepared to return first with Feng Yufei and the others.
Unexpectedly, Mu Qingge said, "Let’s all leave together in three days."
"You’re leaving too?"
"You’re leaving too!"
"You’re coming with us?"
Three surprised voices echoed simultaneously.
Mu Qingge looked at the six startled eyes, her face full of confusion and said, "Why wouldn’t I go?"
"Cough, cough, can you manage to go?" Zhao Nanxing mumbled.
Mu Qingge raised her eyebrow and asked with a dangerous tone, "Why can’t I go?"
Zhao Nanxing shrank his neck and shut his mouth tightly.
"Ah! Right. Aren’t you going to see that Young Master from Wanxiang Building? On the day of the great battle, when we ca out, he was really quite concerned about you," Jiang Li said with a laugh, covering her lips.
Her expression clearly showed she was enjoying the misfortune.
At the ntion of Han Caicai, Mu Qingge didn’t feel any embarrassnt. She simply nodded naturally, "I’ll thank him when I get the chance." Since Han Caicai hadn’t proactively co to find her, it indicated he didn’t care much about the matter. Why should she eagerly go to express thanks?
Mu Qingge’s words made Jiang Li feel infinite sympathy for Han Caicai!
While they were talking, suddenly, a house servant from the Post House ca to report that Lord Xue from Yu Country requested to see the young Lord Mu.
Xue Qiong ca to find herself?
This news imdiately reminded Mu Qingge of her aunt.
She t Xue Qiong.
And Xue Qiong brought her a piece of extrely good news.
"What did you say? Aunt is expecting?" Mu Qingge stood up, shocked.
Xue Qiong nodded with a smile, "I also just received news from the family. The couple Xue Qiao returned to the Xue Family in Yu Country more than half a month ago. At that ti, they were already expecting. Calculating the ti, the child is probably already more than three months old."
"Aunt is expecting! We need to inform the old man!" At this mont, Mu Qingge’s expression was probably the most expressive it’s ever been.
Even those familiar with her, like Zhao Nanxing and Jiang Li, were astonished.
So Mu Qingge could have monts of losing composure.
Excited, Mu Qingge paced back and forth in the room, her smile blossoming now and then. Her exceptionally beautiful face beca a stunning scenery in the room.
Once her emotions gradually stabilized, Xue Qiong said, "Young Lord Mu, do you have any plans next? My father’s suggestion is that if Young Lord Mu is free, please visit the Xue Family in Yu Country, and you may also visit your aunt."
Mu Qingge raised an eyebrow at him.
It seems Xue Qiong has already reported her situation here to the family, so the Xue Family extended an invitation.
I must go, definitely!
As her aunt’s family, she certainly must go to support her aunt.
"Alright, then I’ll visit the Xue Family in Yu Country!" Mu Qingge gave her answer.
Upon hearing her words, Zhao Nanxing and Feng Yufei could only share a wry smile.
What happened to going back together?
Can we still have fun?
However, they also understood Mu Qingge’s decision.
The Mu Family’s bloodline is already thin, and Mu Qingge’s aunt’s child represents new hope, so Mu Qingge naturally pays it great attention.
After discussing so details with Xue Qiong, he left.
Mu Qingge agreed to leave Tiandu with him three days later, heading to Yu Country.
Yu Country is right next to the Holy Yuan Empire, not far away. Visiting Yu Country first to see her aunt and then returning to Qin Country is the sa, just a slight detour and a little late return.
...
Three days later, Mu Qingge departed Tiandu with Xue Qiong, taking five hundred Dragon Tooth Guards without alerting anyone.
By the ti Huangfu Huan and his team received the news and rushed over, they could only see a trail of dust.
Xue Qiong was an agile person; he first used the flying beast of the Holy Yuan Empire to travel, then switched to fast horses pulling carts at the border. In just over twenty days, Mu Qingge arrived at the city where the Xue Family in Yu Country resides.
The city was large and bustling.
Its size could almost compare to the capitals of third-class countries.
From the look on Xue Qiong’s face, Mu Qingge could guess that the city’s developnt to today’s scale was entirely due to being the headquarters of the Xue Family.
Xue Qiong returned from Tiandu and didn’t report to Yu Country’s Emperor imdiately but brought her back to the Xue Family instead. This alone showed the Xue Family’s status in Yu Country.
"We’ve arrived; that mansion ahead is the Xue Family’s ancestral residence," Xue Qiong said to Mu Qingge, pointing to a deep courtyard at the end of the street.
Mu Qingge rode on Black Fla, followed by five hundred Dragon Tooth Guards.
Their Fla Horses created a stunning sight that left the street’s inhabitants amazed and pointing.
Especially after seeing Mu Qingge returned to female attire, her unparalleled beauty shocked them greatly, leaving them to wonder in their hearts about such an outstanding and stunning woman—who could she be?
Returning with the second young master of the Xue Family, could it be...
Of course, these rumors hadn’t spread before the cold glare from the Dragon Tooth Guards nipped them in the bud.
Their young Lord was not soone these people could talk about as they pleased.
The Dragon Tooth Guards were no longer what they used to be; now, of the five hundred mbers, almost half were in the Purple Realm, and the rest were striving towards it. All so they wouldn’t hold their young Lord back and could accompany their young Lord in conquering places.
Their fierce gaze is sothing these ordinary citizens couldn’t withstand.
In no ti, there were citizens with pale faces and cold sweat, collapsing to the ground, causing a commotion.
Xue Qiong saw that, shook his head with a wry smile, and could only secretly instruct his subordinates to pacify and manage them.
"Mo Yang, have them tone it down. After all, we are guests," Mu Qingge quietly instructed Mo Yang.
Mo Yang understood and gestured to the Dragon Tooth Guards.
Imdiately, the Dragon Tooth Guards retracted their aura, warming the surrounding temperatures by several degrees.
Following Xue Qiong, they reached the gates of the Xue Mansion, where the tightly shut doors, along with two side doors, simultaneously opened from the inside. The Xue Mansion’s servants and maids hurried out, lined up on both sides, kneeling on the ground.
They shouted in unison, "Welco Second Master ho!"
The display made Mu Qingge raise her eyebrows.
Xue Qiong sneaked a glance at her, cleared his throat, and said to the kneeling servants, "This is Young Lord Mu."
Lady?
The servants and maids were surprised, but Mu Qingge’s appearance left them wary, and they quickly shouted, "Welco Young Lord Mu!"
Mu Qingge smiled faintly and said to Xue Qiong, "The Xue Mansion is indeed a wealthy family."
Xue Qiong laughed awkwardly and said to the servants and maids, "You may rise."
Upon hearing this command, everyone began to stand up.
