A shadow arrived in an instant, and as it landed, a fierce gust of power blew up a layer of dust, forcing the Mu Family’s servants to retreat.
One among them extended his hand after landing, his five fingers turned into claws, sharply reaching towards Mu Qingge. It seed he wanted to snatch Yan Qichuan back with lightning speed.
Xuan Kui’s eagle-like eyes narrowed, and without hesitation, he raised Yan Qichuan’s long weapon to stab towards that hand.
"Get lost!" However, before he got close, a powerful spiritual force slamd down on him, sending Xuan Kui flying along with the weapon, crashing heavily on the distant ground.
As swift as the wind, that hand, unstoppable as a bamboo, was already in front of Mu Qingge.
But Mu Qingge was unhurried, switching the direction of the captured Yan Qichuan in her hand to point at the opponent, while pressing the dagger in her hand against his neck vein.
The man was startled, the cold glint of the dagger flashed before his eyes.
Worried that Mu Qingge might kill Yan Qichuan in a desperate situation, he forcefully retracted his move and retreated the way he ca.
This coming and going happened in an instant.
Many people present didn’t see it clearly.
They only saw the Yan Family’s elder jump out and then jump back again.
In the midst of it, Yan Qichuan’s face turned pale, the coldness and sharpness on his neck, along with the strong claw force from his family’s elder earlier, made him feel clearly and acutely the imminent danger.
His fiancée was humiliated, and vengeance was indeed necessary, but it wasn’t worth risking his own life!
With thoughts churning, Yan Qichuan said to Mu Qingge, "You’re looking for the Su Family; this is already the place. Why not let go!"
Mu Qingge’s lips curled into a sneer, mocking his naivety. "You all acted like mad dogs biting indiscriminately. If I didn’t have a shield in my hand, wouldn’t I have no chance to speak at all?"
Yan Qichuan’s heart sank, gritting his teeth, "Technically, this is between you and the Su Family, and has nothing to do with the Yan Family. If you let go, I promise to take the Yan Family people and leave, never to ddle in this matter."
This statent made a teasing light erge in Mu Qingge’s clear eyes.
She looked at Yan Qichuan with so disdain, ridiculing, "You were just righteous in demanding revenge, claiming that not killing would be unbearable for your hatred. Why are you now eager to stay out of it?"
"..." Yan Qichuan was speechless, his face alternately red and green.
At this ti, Xuan Kui got up from the ground and walked to Mu Qingge’s side.
Another elder of the Yan Family, noticing Xuan Kui’s movent, moved stealthily, gathering power in his hand and abruptly grabbing towards Xuan Kui. "Get over here!"
The gesture seed to show he wanted to capture Xuan Kui to threaten Mu Qingge.
Mu Qingge’s eyes flashed, as she waved, sending out a spiritual light, intercepting the opponent’s attack midway. Xuan Kui also quickly retreated to her side, vigilantly watching the people around.
Just now, he almost caused trouble for the Young Master!
"Are you okay?" Mu Qingge asked in a low voice, her clear eyes turning cold, sweeping over the two elders of the Yan Family.
Xuan Kui shook his head, apologetically saying, "Young Master, I’m too weak."
"Knowing you’re too weak, then work twice as hard," Mu Qingge replied indifferently.
Xuan Kui’s body stiffened, his lips pressed tightly, nodding vigorously as if he was making a promise to Mu Qingge!
Mu Qingge glanced around, giving a cold warning, "Stop doing foolish things that will speed up your Young Master’s death." She looked at the Su Family Head and asked again, "Where is Miss Su?"
Since the victim is Miss Su, she naturally has to confront her face to face to know what happened.
These people kept calling her a beast and a lecher, as if she had a good temper?
"Death to the lecher!" A voice full of hatred suddenly appeared.
Imdiately after, Mu Qingge saw a slender figure, holding a sharp sword, rush out of the crowd towards her. The montum showed that she didn’t care about Yan Qichuan’s life in Mu Qingge’s hands, just wanting Mu Qingge’s life.
"Nuannuan, stop!"
She might not care about Yan Qichuan’s life, but the Su Family Head could not.
He shouted in alarm, intercepting the rushing figure, also revealing the person’s identity.
"So it’s Miss Su." Dragon Teeth’s eyes darkened as he stared at the person forcefully pulled down by the Mu Family Head.
With a graceful figure and delicate features, she is indeed quite a beauty. However, the hostility between her brows sowhat marred her allure.
Su Nuannuan looked at Dragon Teeth with intense hatred in her eyes, and seeing her calm deanor only fueled her anger.
"Dad, kill her!" Su Nuannuan raised the sword in her hand, pointing it at Dragon Teeth, demanding from her father. She had given up her favored red silk, not only because it witnessed her most disgraceful mont, but also because she wanted to slice Dragon Teeth’s flesh piece by piece with the sword in her hand!
"Nuannuan, don’t be impulsive. Nephew Yan is still in this shaless person’s hands. Don’t worry, she won’t escape today!" The Mu Family Head comforted his daughter.
Su Nuannuan’s heart ached as if it were bleeding, wishing she could tear apart the person who humiliated her.
"Enough of this, can anyone tell what exactly happened? I’m just as innocent here, okay?" Dragon Teeth’s voice carried a hint of anger.
"You claim to be innocent?" the Mu Family Head retorted angrily.
His hatred for Dragon Teeth was no less than Su Nuannuan’s.
With the wedding alliance between the Su and Yan families imminent, such an incident occurred. How was he supposed to explain this to the Yan Family?
Dragon Teeth assertively responded, "Of course I’m innocent! I’ve been unjustly hunted down across the city without having done anything. Even now, I don’t know what happened."
"Fine! You claim not to know, so let remind you. Do you still rember the reed field by the lake?" Su Nuannuan said through gritted teeth, her voice full of hatred.
Bringing up that humiliating incident again felt as if she were being sliced apart.
But she wanted Dragon Teeth, this wretched thief, to die convinced and disgraced!
She stared intently at Dragon Teeth, not wanting to miss even the slightest change in her expression, wanting to personally tear apart her disguise, and shred her facade of innocence.
However, Dragon Teeth calmly said, "I don’t rember, don’t know, and have never been there."
"You’re utterly shaless!" Seeing Dragon Teeth’s denial, Su Nuannuan trembled with anger.
Dragon Teeth raised an eyebrow, "In what way am I shaless? I only arrived in Anmo City yesterday, and stayed in the inn the entire ti without going anywhere. At least three people can testify to this. Then, I was suddenly hunted down for no reason. I’m as curious as anyone to find out what I did to you, Miss Su, to warrant such action?"
"You—!" Su Nuannuan was so enraged by Dragon Teeth’s words that her eyes turned red, desperately wanting to ruin the face that was enviably beautiful even to won.
She couldn’t understand why a man with such looks would need any woman he desired. Why did he choose her, subjecting her to this indelible harm?
The less she understood, the more she hated!
"Pardon for asking, Miss Su, are you sure the person who hard you was ?" Dragon Teeth threw out a question.
This question stunned Su Nuannuan.
And Dragon Teeth continued, "As far as I know, the people the Su and Yan families sent to find only asked for a na, not a description. Doesn’t this suggest that even you, Miss Su, didn’t clearly see what the person who hard you looked like?"
Boom—!
These words struck a chord with Su Nuannuan, causing her face to turn pale.
The scenes she didn’t want to recall erged once again in her mind. She rembered the figure that insulted her, but indeed, as Dragon Teeth said, she never saw clearly what the person looked like, only rembering his words.
Su Nuannuan’s gaze sharpened, she argued, "He himself said his na was Dragon Teeth, how could that be false?"
Dragon Teeth laughed mockingly, "He said he’s Dragon Teeth, so he’s Dragon Teeth? Then if I say I’m the Mu Family Head, does that make the Mu Family Head?"
Dragon Teeth’s mockery left the Su and Yan family mbers indignant. However, within their anger, a sense of reason gradually returned.
"You might be trying to confuse the issue!" the Mu Family Head said sternly.
Dragon Teeth’s eyes showed derision, "If I really did it, would I voluntarily leave my na? This isn’t sothing to be proud of, and if I wouldn’t even show my face, leaving a na doesn’t make sense. Such a simple framing, and yet you can’t see through it?"
Indeed!
The Su and Yan families looked at each other.
Thinking about it carefully based on Dragon Teeth’s words, there were indeed many flaws. Doing sothing like this and leaving a na seed clearly intended for the Su and Yan families to find him, didn’t it?
So why wouldn’t he admit it now that he’s been found?
The main point is, they are all n. Who would leave their na behind after doing such a thing?
"Framing? What makes you say it’s a framing? What evidence do you have to prove your innocence?" The head of the Su Family persisted.
A cold smile appeared on Mu Qingge’s lips. Turning to Su Nuannuan, she asked, "Miss Su, did you fight with that person? Did you see what color their spiritual power was?"
Complex emotions surged within Su Nuannuan’s eyes.
She had to admit that Mu Qingge’s words made sense, but her only clue was the na Mu Qingge. If it wasn’t the person in front of her, how would she avenge herself, and who would she seek revenge against?
Mu Qingge’s words plunged her back into her mories.
She recalled, "Of course, there was a confrontation, but my cultivation wasn’t a match. That person was likely between the Fourth and Fifth Layers of the Gray Realm." She was already wavering, no longer saying ’Mu Qingge,’ but ’that person.’
Receiving her answer, Mu Qingge raised her hand and loudly announced to everyone around her, "Look closely." As soon as she finished speaking, a silver spiritual light suddenly rose from her palm, soaring into the sky like a tendril.
Hiss—!
Everyone gasped in shock.
"It’s the Silver Realm!"
"It’s actually the Silver Realm!"
"Aura can be restrained, but spiritual power cultivation cannot be faked!"
"Does that an the person who bullied the young lady isn’t the one in front of us?"
Mu Qingge’s spiritual power erged as undeniable evidence.
Su Nuannuan widened her eyes in shock as she looked at the silver light. She was unwilling to believe it but couldn’t help but accept the truth.
"Silver Realm!" Yan Qichuan’s face turned ashen as he looked at Mu Qingge in shock.
Had he actually faced soone from the Silver Realm? If they had wanted to kill him, would he still be alive?
Mu Qingge’s display of her cultivation left the two Elders of the Yan Family, the Elder of the Su Family, and the head of the Su Family silent. They were all from the Silver Realm and could sense more acutely than those in the Gray or Purple Realm that this young man in resplendent attire was a master of the Second Layer of the Silver Realm at such a young age.
Such talent could indeed earn a place on the Green Talent List!
Ignoring the surrounding astonishnt, Mu Qingge waved her hand and withdrew her released spiritual power.
For a mont, the head of the Su Family’s gaze was inscrutable, pondering sothing.
The two Elders of the Yan Family exchanged a look and imdiately changed their stance.
They politely cupped their hands toward Mu Qingge. The one who first took action said, "It seems everything was a misunderstanding. Soone impersonated Young Master Mu to commit shaless acts. Since it’s a misunderstanding, we ask Young Master Mu to release our Young Master, and we’ll discuss everything further at a later ti."
The Yan Family had decided to ease this tense situation.
After all, the prick wasn’t on them, and the matter with Su Nuannuan only embarrassed the Yan Family. It’s not worth offending a genius who could make the Green Talent List over it.
"Wait a mont!" However, as they sought to ease relations, the head of the Su Family was unwilling. He looked at Mu Qingge coldly and said, "How do I know if you used so trick to change the color of your spiritual power? And even if you didn’t do it personally, you are involved. Otherwise, why didn’t that person leave soone else’s na behind instead of yours?"
Mu Qingge smirked, "What now? Is the Su Family planning to extort ?"
The head of the Su Family also sneered coldly, his calculations obvious in his eyes. "The victim is my daughter. Now you simply say it wasn’t you, yet want to wash your hands of it? That won’t do. Either hand over the real culprit imdiately, or take responsibility for this!"
"I would love to hand over the real culprit, but with you pestering like this, the true perpetrator has probably fled far away. According to the head of the Su Family’s logic, can I assu you are accomplices of the real perpetrator, letting them go so I can’t find the one framing ?" Mu Qingge sneered repeatedly. She had already seen the sches in the head of the Su Family’s eyes.
After a pause, she continued, "As for taking responsibility? I am also a victim, so how should I take responsibility?"
"You! You’re simply being unreasonable!" the head of the Su Family said angrily.
In any case, the Yan Family certainly wouldn’t marry a woman who had lost her purity. He had planned to make the best of a bad situation and marry his daughter off to Mu Qingge. In this way, even if they lost the Yan Family, they could gain so compensation in another way.
However, the person in front of him seed to see through his intentions, not following his script and preventing him from proposing the solution of marriage.
"Unreasonable? Isn’t the head of the Su Family forcing the impossible?" Mu Qingge sneered sarcastically.
"Enough!" Su Nuannuan suddenly interjected, breaking up the argunt between Mu Qingge and the head of the Su Family.
She descended the steps one by one until she stood before Mu Qingge, "I’ve realized you aren’t that person. Release the Young Master of the Yan Family. I guarantee no one will make a move against you."
Mu Qingge looked at her, and her clear eyes showed no ripple.
She withdrew the dagger pressed against Yan Qichuan’s throat, finally granting him freedom. The latter looked at Su Nuannuan, unsure of what to say for a mont.
Su Nuannuan remained calm. She told Yan Qichuan, "I’ve made up my mind. From today, the marriage between the Su and Yan Families is off."
Yan Qichuan opened his mouth, wanting to say sothing, but in the end, said nothing and turned toward his family’s elders.
After Yan Qichuan left, Su Nuannuan looked at Mu Qingge and said, "I only have one question for you. Do you know that person?"
Mu Qingge raised an eyebrow and nodded.
She had no obligation to take the fall for Mu Luofeng, nor would she cover up for him.
"Who is it!" Su Nuannuan demanded, her eyes flaring with intensity.
Mu Qingge faintly smiled. "Is it that person? I only have my suspicions. After hearing the whole story, I think it was him. His na is Mu Luofeng.’"
Fire ignited in Su Nuannuan’s eyes, burning with hatred.
She stared intently at Mu Qingge for a mont before saying, "You may go now!"
Mu Qingge looked at her, then at Xuan Kui, and said, "Let’s go."
"Nuannuan, what are you doing? How could you let them leave?" the head of the Su Family asked indignantly.
Startled, the head of the Su Family was shocked to see her.
Su Nuannuan looked at him with pain in her eyes, "Father, what did you say? How could you let them go?"
The head of the Su Family was taken aback, looking at her in shock.
Su Nuannuan looked at him with heartache and said, "Father, when will you genuinely care for ? Father, I’m already ruined, so don’t think of using to do anything for you anymore." With that, she turned and walked away.
Returning to the inn, the four people who had stayed there imdiately surrounded them, asking about the situation. Xuan Kui, animatedly narrating the events, also spoke of Mu Luofeng’s framing of Mu Qingge, causing everyone to beco furious.
"Young Master, I can’t believe Mu Luofeng would do such a thing!" Xuan Kui said angrily while they walked. He felt shaless about what had been done. A bit of anger simred within him too. "We can’t just let him get away with this."
Returning to the inn, those who had remained there imdiately gathered around and demanded to know what had happened. Xuan Kui recounted the events in detail, also ntioning Mu Luofeng’s framing of Mu Qingge, causing the crowd to erupt in indignation.
"Young Master, we cannot just let him get away with this," Xie Ya said, stepping closer to Mu Qingge, her voice filled with unprecedented determination.
"Indeed," Hua Yue added coldly. "Fortunately, I didn’t choose this brute yesterday, or I would have no way to face my family in the Wandering Soul Desert."
"We cannot let him go unpunished, Young Master," Xie Ya said, approaching Mu Qingge with unprecedented intensity in her voice.
In contrast to the others’ anger, Mu Qingge appeared calm.
She spoke slowly, "Dragon General, how much do you know about Mu Luofeng’s situation over there?"
Dragon General paused, surprised, and looked at her.
He then explained, "Originally, Mu Luofeng wasn’t a direct descendant of the Mu Family in the Middle Ages. His lineage split off from the Mu Family a few hundred years ago. The Young Master of the Mu Family in this generation is naturally talented, so Mu Chen took them away, along with half of the Mu Family’s resources, and fully supported Mu Luofeng."
The Dragon General nodded, "It should be like this. They’ve split half of the resources and haven’t brought Mu Luofeng back to the Mu Family, indicating that their original heir hasn’t given up."
After speaking, he paused slightly, and then said, "The Young Master of the Mu Clan is to be chosen through competition. Young Master, you need to handle the upcoming journey carefully."
Mu Qingge remained silent.
She was involved in this affair not for the position of Young Master of the Mu Clan. She was after the Divine Strategy, so even if there were no other candidates, she would still proceed as planned. With these candidates, she follows her own steps.
This ti, not seeing another candidate only ant they hadn’t captured the clue related to the inheritor tribe.
"So you’re also unaware of where Mu Luofeng’s hideout is?" Mu Qingge asked.
The Dragon General shook his head, "I really don’t know. I only know that they constantly select extre environnts for him to train in during cultivation."
"Doesn’t that make it difficult to find their whereabouts?" Xuan Kui frowned and said.
Mu Qingge, however, laughed lightly, "No rush. Xie Ya and Xuan Ya are with . As long as they’re still thinking about the Divine Strategy Middle Volu, they’ll appear again. There’s no need to waste ti and effort searching for him. He’ll co on his own."
Everyone nodded in agreent.
"Then Young Master, should we proceed according to the original plan?" Xie Ya asked.
Mu Qingge nodded, "I guess we can’t leave today. We’ll depart early tomorrow morning."
...
The next day, after Mu Qingge finished breakfast, Xie Ya returned and said that the city gates and teleportation array had been opened normally. She had also arranged the teleportation array for traveling to the West Continent Prefecture and Wuyin Mansion.
After packing everything, Mu Qingge led a few people out of the inn, heading for the teleportation array to Wuyin Mansion.
On their way to the teleportation array, they unexpectedly encountered soone.
"Miss Su?" Mu Qingge was sowhat surprised to see the young woman in front of her, who seed to have been waiting there for quite so ti.
"Young Master Mu." Su Nuannuan nodded slightly. Her gaze swept across the people standing behind Mu Qingge. When she saw Xie Ya, Xuan Ya, and Hua Yue, her eyes changed slightly.
Apparently, she hadn’t anticipated that Mu Qingge would be accompanied by such three stunning beauties.
Her appearance was nothing compared to these three.
Su Nuannuan couldn’t help but mock herself, ’With such beauties accompanying him, how would Mu Qingge possibly humiliate ? The true culprit is truly sinister.’
"Young Master Mu, are you leaving Anmo City?" Su Nuannuan asked.
Mu Qingge nodded, "I am indeed leaving Anmo City. Since Miss Su appears here, does it an that I haven’t explained everything clearly, and cannot leave?"
"No, you’ve explained everything clearly." Su Nuannuan shook her head.
She bit her lip and looked at Mu Qingge, "After such an event, I can no longer stay in Anmo City. That person frad you, and I believe you won’t let him off either. I want to follow you, find that person, and kill him with my own hands!"
After saying this, icy killing intent surfaced in Su Nuannuan’s eyes.
"You want to leave with ?" Mu Qingge said in surprise.
Su Nuannuan nodded.
She took out a blank scroll and handed it to Mu Qingge, then requested, "Please, Young Master Mu, sketch out the visage of that scoundrel. I will post it among the Floating Guest Clan to find his whereabouts."
Mu Qingge took the scroll and imdiately handed it to Xie Ya.
Understanding, Xie Ya stepped aside and began sketching with a pen.
Mu Qingge said to Su Nuannuan, "Miss Su, I understand how you feel. However, it seems inconvenient for you to co with ."
"I won’t trouble you, nor do you need to take care of . Just let tag along." Su Nuannuan insisted.
Mu Qingge sighed with a smile, "That’s not what I ant. There are tis when unpredictable dangers may arise around . Following us might implicate you. Moreover, you might not need to follow to find Mu Luofeng, as I’m not currently looking for him."
Su Nuannuan raised her head and stared at Mu Qingge.
The stubbornness in her eyes evoked a sense of wanting to compromise.
Mu Qingge sighed, "Alright, I promise you, when I catch Mu Luofeng, I’ll bring him in front of you and let you handle him, how’s that?"
Su Nuannuan was silent for a mont.
When Xie Ya returned with the scroll depicting Mu Luofeng’s likeness, Su Nuannuan focused on the scroll, her tone calm, "Since Young Master Mu finds it difficult, I won’t insist."
She took the scroll from Xie Ya, unfolded it to take a look.
As soon as that face of Mu Luofeng appeared on the canvas, hatred filled her eyes.
There was no denying that Xie Ya’s drawing captured Mu Luofeng’s essence exceptionally well. The casualness in his brows made Su Nuannuan imdiately certain that this was the man who humiliated her!
She took a deep breath, and after storing the scroll safely, she said to Mu Qingge, "Thank you."
"Miss Su, if I may be blunt. You’re no match for him, and he has many skilled guards. Don’t take risks without a foolproof plan." Mu Qingge reminded.
Su Nuannuan nodded, "Thank you for the reminder, Young Master Mu. I’ll leave my contact information with the Floating Guest Clan. If you find his whereabouts first, please inform . Similarly, if I find him, I’ll notify you imdiately."
With that, she turned and headed towards the teleportation array.
"Young Master, that teleportation array leads to the Northern Continent," Xie Ya whispered beside Mu Qingge.
Mu Qingge raised an eyebrow, and led everyone towards the teleportation array to Wuyin Mansion.
...
Wuyin Mansion, West Continent Prefecture, located in the heart of the vast West Continent.
Mu Qingge had learned wisely, first arriving at the state mansion in each continent to understand the situation before proceeding with the next step. Avoiding reckless rushing around like a headless fly.
"The Green Talent List has been updated!"
"The Green Talent List has been updated——!"
"There’s a newcor on the list!"
As Mu Qingge walked out from the teleportation array onto the streets of Wuyin Mansion with Xuan Kui, Xuan Ya, Xie Ya, and Hua Yue, she heard a variety of announcent calls.
As for the Dragon General, after sending them off, he entered the teleportation array heading back to the Southern Continent, to travel through the Bitter Sea and return to Duole Island.
"The Green Talent List has been updated?" This news slightly raised Mu Qingge’s eyebrows.
She rembered that Han Caicai had ntioned he would definitely make it to the list in this update. Now that it’s been updated, she wondered if he had actually been listed.
"Let’s go to the Divine Hall first." Mu Qingge changed her mind.
The others, of course, had no objections, they always obeyed Mu Qingge’s decisions.
As the group walked along the main street of Wuyin Mansion, they naturally beca a captivating sight.
Not to ntion Mu Qingge’s handso and unruly appearance, but with Xie Ya, Xuan Ya, and Hua Yue flanking her, many n cast looks of envy, jealousy, and resentnt.
anwhile, the won on the street shot glances filled with tender affection at Mu Qingge or sneakily peered at Xuan Kui, whose features were stern and exuded masculinity.
’Qingge, I want to go out.’
’Master Mother, I want to go out too.’
’Since everyone wants to go out, you might as well let out too.’
’Hey, lady... master, I want to get so fresh air too.’
As soon as the last voice was heard, Yin Chen and Bai Xi’s voices imdiately quieted down.
Only Yuanyuan kept shouting, "I’m bored to death, let out!"
’Stupid Yuanyuan, what are you saying? How dare you call my place boring adorable one?’
’Oh! A good man doesn’t argue with won; if you make a move again, don’t bla for picking on shorties!’
Inside Mu Qingge’s mind, it felt like chaos, noisy and confusing. Her eyes glinted with a cold light, and she transmitted, ’Alright, all of you quiet down. When the ti is right, I’ll let you out.’
"Woman, do you believe that I could kill you?" Hou’s voice ca through.
Mu Qingge responded with a cold laugh, "If you want to commit suicide, I won’t stop you."
"..." Hou finally fell silent.
"Young Master, are you alright?" Xuan Ya asked, noticing Mu Qingge’s unfavorable expression.
Xuan Kui, on the side, also looked over curiously.
"It’s nothing," Mu Qingge answered casually.
’Qingge, I’d like to discuss sothing with you.’ Suddenly, Bai Xi’s voice echoed again.
Mu Qingge did not object.
She said, ’Why don’t you let go and oversee the Dragon Tooth Guards? I really don’t want to share a room with that leader!’
Bai Xi’s reaction piqued Mu Qingge’s curiosity, "You’ve always been fearless, why are you so timid now? Could it be that you two have a past grudge?"
’Who would dare hold a grudge against him? Are they asking for death? He’s the leader of the Fierce Beasts, with a formidable background. Just being with him, even from afar, is incredibly stressful. You better release ; I’ll go assist with the Dragon Tooth Guards.’ Bai Xi said, aggrieved.
The suppression from the bloodline made her very uncomfortable.
Mu Qingge scoffed, "Look at others like Yin Chen, so calm and composed, yet you’re this scared."
’Don’t you know that stinky fox is just putting on a brave front? Actually, with that leader by your side, you don’t need to worry about safety.’ Bai Xi tried hard to persuade Mu Qingge.
Mu Qingge pondered, "Right now, he is just like you all, my Contracted Beast. You can’t just avoid each other forever, can you?"
’If we must interact, at least wait until his ferocious aura lessens a bit, and until I’ve regained so more strength,’ Bai Xi muttered.
"It seems you’ve already made your decision," Mu Qingge said.
After thinking for a while, Mu Qingge finally nodded in agreent, "Alright, the Dragon Tooth Guards indeed need more manpower. You, Yin Chen, and Hua Yue, head over there together."
"What! I have to go with that stinky fox?" Bai Xi cried out.
Mu Qingge nodded, "As you said, Yin Chen is just pretending to be calm. Since neither of you are comfortable here, just go together to train the Dragon Tooth Guards."
"But if Hua Yue leaves too, who will serve you?" Bai Xi questioned.
Mu Qingge was exasperated, "Do I really need so many people to take care of ? Besides, Hua Yue’s abilities are not limited to serving others. From now on, I will have Hua Yue and You He alternate by my side as my intelligence officers."
"Fine, you’re the boss, whatever you say goes," Bai Xi compromised.
Mu Qingge actually wanted to send Xuan Kui to the Dragon Tooth Guards as well. With his talent, he would definitely be of great use. However, she still needed to personally train him for a period; once he beca a qualified sniper, he could report to the Dragon Tooth Guards.
The Dragon Tooth Guards were truly her foundation in the Middle Ancient Realm!
As for Xie Ya and Xuan Ya, she kept them by her side because of the map in their backgrounds.
Ending the conversation with Bai Xi in her mind, Mu Qingge and the others walked to the entrance of the Divine Hall of Wuyin Mansion. The Divine Hall of Wuyin Mansion was almost identical in size and appearance to the one in the Southern Continent Golden Sea Mansion.
Similarly, there was a long line queued in front of a certain large door outside the Divine Hall.
This ti, Mu Qingge headed straight for the place with the Green Talent List and Cub Phoenix List stone tablets. Soon, they arrived at the platform where the two stone tablets stood.
However, at this mont, it was already crowded with people, all seemingly very interested in the update of the Green Talent List.
With so many people, there was no room to squeeze in.
Mu Qingge and the others stood below the platform, waiting patiently.
Dong——! Dong——! Dong——!
Three bell tolls sounded abruptly.
It imdiately drew everyone’s attention. Then, a golden light shot out from the stone tablet, clearly displaying the engraved words in the sky.
"It’s out, it’s out."
"Quick, quick, take a good look at which rankings have changed and which newcors made the list this ti."
Discussions erupted, and the people who were previously squeezed on the platform sward down, all looking up at the golden characters in the sky.
Mu Qingge and the others were also among the crowd, looking up just like everyone else.
Rows of golden characters represented the glory of the entire Middle Ancient Realm.
"The hundredth on the Green Talent List, Gu Qianqiu from the Gu Family in the Southern Continent! The ninety-ninth on the Green Talent List..." An old yet strong and authoritative voice resonated out of nowhere, announcing the rankings on the Green Talent List from the bottom up. The voice echoed across the sky, almost audible to everyone in Wuyin Mansion.
Mu Qingge’s eyes showed a hint of astonishnt.
She was a bit curious about who was announcing the Green Talent List.
’Is it soone from the Divine Hall?’ Mu Qingge pondered internally. After all, the ranking compilation for the Green Talent List was also handled by the Divine Hall.
"...the eighty-seventh, Han Caicai from the Han Family in the Northern Continent! The eighty-sixth..."
Upon hearing the familiar na, Mu Qingge’s eyes lit up, and she couldn’t help but curl her lips into a subtle smile.
Han Caicai being ranked eighty-seventh ant he probably wasn’t celebrating with excitent but rather hopping mad. Mu Qingge knew that arrogant and devious guy too well; the eighty-seventh place on the Green Talent List was definitely not his aim.
Mu Qingge mused to herself and couldn’t help comparing her rank with Han Caicai’s.
Now that she had broken through to the Silver Realm, if she were to fight Han Caicai again, it would be uncertain who would win.
However, she felt Han Caicai’s strength should be ranked higher than eighty-seventh.
Based on that...
Mu Qingge’s eyes flickered as she assessed her current strength. If she were to enter the Green Talent List, she’d likely be in the lower to middle ranges.
This self-assessnt gave her a clearer understanding of her own power, keeping her neither arrogant nor overbearing.
"...the thirtieth on the Green Talent List, Jing Fengyu from the Jing Family in the Central Continent..."
That voice announced another na familiar to Mu Qingge.
’Jing Fengyu?’ Mu Qingge was sowhat surprised. She rembered encountering Jing Fengyu not long ago in the Southern Continent Golden Sea Mansion, where he was still in the twenties on the Green Talent List. Now he had fallen to thirtieth?
The few people who displaced Jing Fengyu, Mu Qingge did not know; even if she heard the nas, she had little concept of them.
"...the fifth on the Green Talent List, Xi Qianxue from the Xi Family in the Central Continent! The fourth, Ying Ze from the Ying Family in the Western Continent! The third, Yao Xinghai from the Yao Family in the Eastern Continent! The second, Ji Yaohua from the Ji Family in the Northern Continent! The first, Wei Molili from the Wei Family in the Central Continent!"
The authoritative voice gradually faded away.
