Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort

Chapter 613: Chapter 48: Mu Luofeng’s Methods—Storming the Manor!

”Murder...murder?” The attendant was taken aback, looking at Mu Luofeng in shock.

Mu Luofeng sneered, his eyes reflecting a vicious glint, ”Whoever dares to rob me of my things deserves to die!”

”Young Master! Don’t be impulsive!” the attendant implored.

”Shut up!” Mu Luofeng barked coldly. He glared icily at the attendant, ”If you keep making noise, I’ll kill you first!”

With that, he was about to charge into the crowd again.

”Young Master, I...I didn’t mean that...” the attendant hurriedly blocked his way, thinking quickly and said, ”Isn’t it too dangerous to go alone? Why don’t we consult with the Elders and let them send the Hidden Guards instead?”

Mu Luofeng finally halted his steps.

The attendant’s words reminded him that if he went straight to find Mu Qingge now, the other party would surely use numbers to overwhelm him. He might end up losing his life instead.

’I can’t take this risk!’ Mu Luofeng thought to himself.

But go to find Mu Chen and Mu Peng?

Mu Luofeng slowly shook his head, images of Mu Chen and Mu Peng’s conversation in the inn this morning flashed through his mind. ”I can’t look for them, nor can I let them know.”

He warned the attendant in a low voice.

The attendant only hoped his master wouldn’t act rashly and cause trouble, so he agreed repeatedly without thinking further.

Seeing that Mu Luofeng seemed to have calmed down, the attendant tentatively asked, ”Then, Young Master, shall we go back, or would you like me to accompany you for a walk nearby?”

”You go back first, I’ll walk alone.” Mu Luofeng declined the attendant’s company.

The attendant hesitated, ”But Young Master...”

Mu Luofeng shot him a chilling glare, making the attendant dare not say more. Under his pressure, the attendant had no choice but to leave alone.

After the attendant left, Mu Luofeng was still not at ease.

He walked among the crowd, and the celebratory scene around him only made his mood more gloomy. If he couldn’t go looking for trouble with Mu Qingge, what should he do?

How could he get revenge on Mu Qingge? Even kill him?

If Mu Qingge hadn’t appeared, everything would have been his! Whether it was Xuan Ya or Xie Ya, or the map of the Divine Strategy Middle Volume, they all would have been his!

At this moment, Mu Luofeng hated Mu Qingge to the core.

”Miss, your joyous day is just a few days away, shall we sneak out like this?”

”What’s there to worry about? The joyous event is between the Yan Family and the Su Family, what’s it got to do with me?”

Suddenly, a conversation drifted into Mu Luofeng’s ears.

He looked up to see that he had unknowingly walked to a secluded place. Not far ahead, by an embankment bordering the lake, stood two slender and beautiful women.

One of them was the Su Family’s young lady, whom he had briefly met on the street a couple of days ago.

Mu Luofeng’s heart stirred, and he quietly followed them.

His cultivation level was higher than that of the Su Family’s young lady, so he naturally didn’t worry about being discovered. He approached the two and eavesdropped on their conversation—

”Miss, why bother? The Yan Family’s Young Master isn’t bad,” the maid said, trying to persuade her.

The Su young lady only snorted disdainfully, her tone flat, ”I don’t like him, what good is he even if he’s outstanding?”

”The Family Head said that if our Su Family and the Yan Family were to marry, Anmo City could settle down in the future,” the maid added.

”So it’s only right to sacrifice me?” The Su young lady’s tone grew somewhat agitated.

”Miss, please don’t be upset, I won’t say more, okay?” The maid’s voice was soft.

The Su young lady fell silent.

By this time, Mu Luofeng understood. It turned out that the lively betrothal ceremony in Anmo City was forced upon the female protagonist.

This discovery made Mu Luofeng’s mind become active.

Hidden away, his gaze roved boldly over the Su young lady. Although her beauty was not as striking as Xie Ya and Xuan Ya, she still stirred his heartstrings, making him restless.

The anger in his heart and the frustration of the last few days seemed to have transformed into an impulse, eager to be released!

He stared at the Su young lady, his thoughts racing.

’If I could have a night with this beautiful Su young lady, and then frame it on Mu Qingge, maybe the Yan and Su families would tear him apart without me lifting a finger!’ This idea suddenly emerged from Mu Luofeng’s heart, growing uncontrollably.

It seemed that at this moment, if he didn’t act on this thought, he would regret it in the future.

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became.

Looking at the Su young lady’s graceful figure and captivating appearance, he felt as if a thousand ants were crawling in his heart. Gradually, he became feverish.

In his mind, the crazy idea became clearer.

”Miss, we should get back quickly. If someone discovers we sneaked out, Miss’s reputation might be tarnished,” the maid advised.

”What’s wrong with that? I’m just out for some air. If you keep fussing, I’ll kill you!” Su Family’s young lady said irritably.

The maid’s face changed, and she kept her mouth shut, not daring to speak again.

She understood her young lady’s temper well. When in a good mood, everything was fine, but in a bad mood, she was as harsh as could be. Just a couple of days ago, didn’t she kill someone on the street for an insolence?

The Su young lady shot the maid a glare and turned away from the lake.

She didn’t head towards the crowded area, but walked deeper into a secluded place. Gritting her teeth, the maid could only hurry to catch up.

The direction they chose was exactly what Mu Luofeng had hoped for. He sneered silently, trailing behind in the shadows.

The lake was wide, stretching from inside the city to outside.

The Su young lady walked along the lakeside, gradually heading towards the outskirts of the city. Voices slowly faded away; the quiet surroundings starkly contrasted with the city’s hustle and bustle.

The tall, lush reeds grew densely, adding to the lake’s scenery while concealing many of its secrets.

Occasionally, a few birds flew overhead, making some noise, leaving only the sound of footsteps.

Realizing they were walking farther and farther into an uninhabited area, the maid had no choice but to say, ”Miss, we’ve come too far.”

The Su young lady was already immensely irritated, and hearing the maid’s counsel only added to her vexation.

She swung her hand, slapping the maid across the face.

The maid winced in pain, clutching her cheek, no longer daring to speak.

”I want some peace and quiet; you don’t need to follow,” the Su young lady said irritably, disappearing into the reed field.

The maid stood outside the reeds, uncertain whether to go or stay, feeling anxious.

Suddenly, her vision went dark, and she lost consciousness, collapsing to the ground.

After she fell, Mu Luofeng emerged from the shadows, glancing at the maid on the ground with a cold smile, then followed the Su young lady into the reeds.

The reeds were dense and tall, blocking vision.

The Su young lady walked for a while before stopping. At that time, she slowly realized and regretted her impulsive choice to enter such a place.

Actually, coming here wasn’t her true intention. She just wanted to clear her mind amid the chaotic thoughts about marrying into the Yan Family. The maid was too bothersome, disturbing her peace. After stopping her with a word, she charged into the reed field.

’I shouldn’t have come here,’ the Su young lady scolded herself internally.

Decisively, she turned to return the way she came.

Just a few steps in, she heard the ’rustle’ of footsteps coming from the reeds.

She stopped, warily looking toward the swaying reeds, calling out, ”Who is it? Xiaoping, is that you?”

As soon as she spoke, the footsteps in the reeds abruptly stopped, leaving only the slightly swaying reeds. This unusual occurrence heightened the Su young lady’s alertness.

She drew the red silk tied at her waist, secretly channeling spiritual power into it, and slowly approached the swaying reeds. ”Who is it? If you don’t speak, don’t blame me for taking action!”

She warned again, yet there was still no response.

The Su young lady’s eyes gleamed fiercely, and the red silk in her hand lashed out like a spiritual snake, infused with the spiritual power of the Gray Realm Second Layer as it shot toward the reeds. However, just as the red silk transformed into red light halfway through, a force even more potent surged from the reeds, snapping many of them, and directly collided with the red silk.

The red silk was violently hit, rolling back.

The Su young lady was shocked, seeing nothing but red light before her.

In an instant, the red silk wrapped around her, covering her head and obstructing her vision.

”Ah—!” she exclaimed in surprise.

At this moment, her heart was in turmoil. Her opponent’s strength was far superior to hers, clearly not her maid Xiaoping.

Her hands hurriedly pulled at the red silk covering her face, words of warning and threat quickly tumbling from her lips: ”Who are you? Do you know who I am? I am a Miss of the Su Family in Anmo City, and my future husband is the Young Master of the Yan Family. If you dare disrespect me, the Su and Yan families will hunt you down relentlessly!”

She thought the other party would be deterred upon hearing of her connections and would best retreat quietly.

However, she didn’t realize that her words were exactly what Mu Luofeng wanted to hear. Mu Luofeng lowered his voice, issuing a sinister laugh, ”The Su and Yan families? Hmph, I, Mu Qingge, have never been afraid! Today, I will savor the taste of the Su Miss, the Yan family bride.”

Mu Qingge?!

Who is Mu Qingge?

Miss Su was completely unfamiliar with the name ’Mu Qingge.’ But, she knew the person intending to violate her, full name and all!

”Mu Qingge, don’t do anything rash! If you leave now, I can overlook it,” Miss Su hurriedly said.

But before she finished speaking, she was suddenly embraced and pushed into the reeds.

”Ah!” Falling to the ground, Miss Su didn’t feel much pain; she was more terrified of what was to come. Her face, wrapped in red silk, could only faintly make out a blurred figure pouncing on her.

Following this, a surge of spiritual power, not her own, invaded her body, sealing her spiritual power, leaving her utterly powerless.

”No... don’t!” At this moment, Miss Su began to genuinely panic.

Tear—!

The sound of fabric tearing resounded in Miss Su’s ear.

Her complexion turned extremely pale.

The exposed skin, chilled by the wind, felt icy cold. But soon, it was covered by something nauseatingly warm and damp.

”No—! Ah—! Get away—! I’ll kill you—!” Miss Su struggled madly, letting out a piercing scream. She hoped her screams would attract others. Yet she forgot, she had walked into the most isolated part of Anmo City, where there was no chance anyone would be around at this time.

”Miss Su, do you know how much I want you? Hmm?” Mu Luofeng’s voice trembled. He kissed Miss Su’s face randomly; even with the red silk in between, it gave him a feeling of ecstasy.

”From the moment I first saw you, I’ve been fantasizing about this day. Today, it’s finally realized,” he rambled incoherently, already forgetting the purpose of doing this.

”Beast! Let go of me! I will kill you! My father will surely kill you!” Miss Su struggled with all her might, yet she could not escape her fate.

Her clothes were already torn to shreds, and more of her body was exposed.

”Ah—!” A heart-wrenching scream broke free from the reeds, dissipating into the sky.

...

Dusk descended, blending water and sky.

The sunset by the reed-laden lake was stunning, dyeing the clouds in the sky with magnificent hues.

Miss Su’s maid awoke gradually, her head faintly throbbing, her vision a bit blurred.

When she was fully awake, her face changed, and she shouted, ”Miss—Miss—!”

She climbed up from the ground, frantically rushing into the reeds.

She had fainted suddenly, and the Miss hadn’t returned for ages, meaning something must have happened!

”Miss... Miss... It’s Xiaoping! Miss... where are you... please answer me...” She ran while calling out, hoping for a response from her Miss.

Finally, she parted the reeds blocking her view and saw a flattened patch of reeds.

Her Miss lay there, naked, with the red silk still over her face, quiet as if devoid of life.

”Ah—!” Xiaoping screamed in terror.

The marks on Miss’s skin made it easy to guess what she had been through.

Suddenly, she felt the sky had collapsed.

Weeping, she staggered to Miss Su, knelt, hurriedly took off her outerwear to cover her Miss, and removed the red silk from her face, ”Miss, what happened! Talk to me, Miss!”

Miss Su’s eyes were dazed, her pupils gray. No matter how Xiaoping shouted beside her, she showed no reaction.

The tearing pain below was not strong anymore, but it couldn’t make her forget what had happened to her.

”Miss, tell Xiaoping, who was the brute?” Xiaoping held Miss Su up, cradling her as tears streamed down her face.

Who did it?

This question brought a flash of focus to Miss Su’s dazed eyes.

Filled with endless hatred, she rasped out, ”Mu Qingge, I wish you a miserable death!”

...

”Luofeng, where did you run off to?” Mu Chen asked, astonished, as he saw Mu Luofeng running back in a fluster.

”I, I just went for a walk,” Mu Luofeng replied, panic visible on his face.

Mu Chen, slightly perplexed, inspected Mu Luofeng, noticing his clothes were disheveled, and asked, ”What were you up to? Your clothes are a mess.”

”Nothing, nothing,” Mu Luofeng said offhandedly. Not wanting to face Mu Chen’s questioning, he continued, ”Uncle, if there’s nothing, I’ll head back to rest first.”

”Wait a moment.” As Mu Luofeng was about to leave, Mu Chen stopped him.

Mu Luofeng froze, facing away from Mu Chen, his expression panicked, eyes darting; he feared Mu Chen would notice something.

”We’re leaving, we’ve been waiting for you for quite a bit. Your things are all packed, and Mu Peng and the others are waiting at the teleportation array. Let’s go,” Mu Chen told him.

Leave?

Mu Luofeng, realizing Mu Chen was not probing further, felt relieved.

However, suddenly leaving was hard for him to accept. If he left now, wouldn’t he miss seeing Mu Qingge’s wretched fate?

He very much wanted Mu Chen and the others to witness how the person they constantly praised was reduced to a sorry state like a stray dog, finally being killed by his small scheme.

”Luofeng, are you hiding something from me?” Mu Luofeng’s silence prompted Mu Chen to ask.

Awakened from his reverie, Mu Luofeng turned to shake his head, ”No! Why would I have anything to hide from Uncle?”

Mu Chen gave him a long look, nodded, ”That’s good, let’s go.”

With that, he turned and headed out of the inn.

Mu Luofeng could only follow, though unwilling. He wanted to witness Mu Qingge’s disgrace and death firsthand but couldn’t find a reason to keep Mu Chen and the others.

After leaving the inn, Mu Luofeng mentally swore, ’Hmph, Mu Qingge, I hope you enjoy what I’ve prepared for you. When we meet again... no, there won’t be another meeting.’ His lips curled into a cold smile, eyes brimming with solidified killing intent.

Walking ahead, Mu Chen felt something was off. When he looked back, Mu Luofeng had already stowed away his emotions, showing him an innocent and pure smile.

In the end, Mu Chen said nothing, leading Mu Luofeng towards the teleportation array in Anmo City.

As they entered the teleportation array, Mu Chen glanced back at Anmo City, thinking, ’Mu Qingge, I’ve remembered you. I hope our next encounter brings me greater surprises.’

As he stepped into the teleportation array, lights enveloped their group, and they disappeared within.

As soon as they left, a team hurriedly arrived.

Upon closer scrutiny, bystanders noticed that not only Yan Family guards arrived, but also Su Family guards.

”Immediately seal the teleportation array, close the city gates. No one leaves without the Su and Yan families’ passes!” The leader, arriving, promptly announced the latest orders from both families.

His serious expression conveyed a message to those around him.

That is, something happened in Anmo City!

The sudden change, city gates locked tight, the streets teeming with Su and Yan family guards, and the halt of the teleportation array, cast a shadow over what was to be a joyous celebration.

In an inn booked by Dragon General, Mu Qingge slightly furrowed her brows and asked, ”What’s happening outside?”

Her words had just fallen when Xuan Kui strode in.

”Young Master, there’s been an incident.” As he came in, his expression was quite grim.

Xuan Ya reproached, ”In front of the Young Master, you mustn’t be flustered. Explain slowly what happened.”

Xuan Kui lowered his eyes, regretting his earlier carelessness.

”What happened?” Mu Qingge put down the cup in her hand, looking towards Xuan Kui to ask.

Only after Mu Qingge asked, did Xuan Kui raise his head to speak, ”The Su and Yan families outside have suddenly closed the city gates and the teleportation array, forbidding anyone to leave. They’ve also sent many guards to patrol the streets, searching house to house. They’re looking for someone named Mu Qingge.”

Xuan Kui finished speaking and looked at Mu Qingge.

Xie Ya and Xuan Ya, along with Hua Yue, all turned to her.

Mu Qingge’s clear eyes flickered slightly, feeling puzzled. ”Looking for me?” She couldn’t recall doing anything that would cause the Su and Yan families to go to great lengths to find her.

Xuan Ya looked at Xuan Kui and asked, ”Did you find out what they are looking for the Young Master for?”

Xuan Kui shook his head, ”I see their faces are cold and stern, it must not be anything good.”

”Did they merely say they were looking for Mu Qingge without describing the appearance?” Mu Qingge tapped her finger lightly on the table, asking indifferently.

Her reminder lit up the eyes of Xuan Ya and Xie Ya, both looking at Xuan Kui, waiting for his answer.

Xuan Kui shook his head, ”No. They only inquired about the name Mu Qingge without describing appearance and such.”

Mu Qingge lowered her crossed leg, slowly stood up, placed her hands behind her back, and walked to the window. She gently rubbed the finger cover with her fingertip, gazing at the scenery outside, and said to Xuan Kui, ”Go see what Mu Luofeng is up to.”

”No need to go. I just returned from there, they’ve already checked out and left, just before the Su and Yan families sealed the city.” The Dragon General strode into Mu Qingge’s room, looking at her back, and said.

”Left?” Mu Qingge’s eyes narrowed slightly, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Xuan Ya stepped forward and asked, ”Young Master, are you suspicious that this matter is related to Mu Luofeng?”

Mu Qingge sneered, ”It’s not suspicion, it’s certainty.”

She turned to look at the five people in the room, her clear eyes sweeping over each of them. ”I just arrived in Anmo City yesterday and haven’t gone out. Apart from you all, the only contact was with Mu Luofeng’s people. Those who know my name, besides you, are only them. To make me suddenly become famous in Anmo City, they must have contributed greatly.”

Her analysis left the five people unable to refute.

Indeed, other than this possibility, there was no other!

”I’m only uncertain about two points now.” Mu Qingge raised two fingers and slowly said, ”First, what exactly have they done to make me the target of everyone? Second, whether this matter was done solely by Mu Luofeng or involved Mu Chen, Mu Peng, and others.”

The Dragon General paused before speaking, ”Mu Peng doesn’t seem like the one to play dirty tricks behind the scenes. I have accompanied the Xuan Ya siblings with him, so I somewhat understand. As for Mu Chen... he seems like an upright person too. But Mu Luofeng, huh, I can tell he’s no good at all.”

Dragon General’s words were supported by Xuan Ya.

She nodded, ”Young Master, Mu Chen and Mu Peng indeed do not seem to be the ones to secretly deceive.”

”I just refused their cooperation this morning, and in the afternoon, I became the target of all, while they conveniently left without even a chance for confrontation. Everything is still unclear, don’t judge too early.” Mu Qingge spoke calmly.

”Young Master, should I go out to inquire about what’s happened?” Xuan Kui suggested.

Mu Qingge shook her head, a proud smile spread across her face, ”Rather than waiting for them to come to us, why don’t I personally go and ask what’s going on.”

”Young Master, are you going to go in person?” Xie Ya exclaimed.

There was obvious concern and tension in the tone.

Mu Qingge nodded.

The Dragon General felt something was amiss and opposed, ”Young Master, the intentions of the Su and Yan families are unclear; if you go, isn’t it like sending a lamb into a tiger’s den?”

Mu Qingge’s smile deepened, her brows radiating confidence and wildness, ”That would depend on whether this tiger can swallow me as the lamb.”

Such confidence, such composure, seemed to carry a fatal infectious quality, influencing those around her.

As if, with Mu Qingge around, nothing could pose a challenge to them!

Xuan Kui’s hawk-like eyes showed a trace of admiration.

He felt his sister’s choice was absolutely right! Following a master like Mu Qingge is far better than being with Mu Luofeng, the weakling!

”Since the Young Master has decided, I will make a trip with the Young Master.” The Dragon General proactively offered to accompany.

”I’ll go too.” Xuan Kui also hurriedly said.

”Young Master, count me in.”

”I’ll go with the Young Master too.”

”Little Lord, don’t forget Hua Yue.”

Xie Ya, Xuan Ya, and Hua Yue all expressed their intentions.

Mu Qingge chuckled, ”We are going to debate, not to fight; there’s no need for so many to follow.”

”Can’t let you go alone.” The Dragon General insisted.

Mu Qingge was inwardly speechless; in fact, she would be safest alone. If push comes to shove, she could just hide in space. But, she couldn’t say that.

She was silent for a moment, then finally nodded, ”Alright. Then it will be Xuan Kui accompanying me. You all stay here waiting.”

She thought for a while, then added, ”If I don’t return within two hours, try to leave, and we’ll rendezvous at Wuyin Mansion.” This was just in case the Su and Yan families were unreasonable and a fight broke out. She could take Xuan Kui to draw them away, allowing those here to escape.

Moreover, with only Xuan Kui by her side, she could easily make a getaway.

The Dragon General persisted, ”Young Master, I’m worried if you only take Xuan Kui...”

”I am issuing an order, not negotiating.” Mu Qingge interrupted him, looking at Xuan Kui, ”Let’s go.”

...

The street was in chaos.

The forces of the Su and Yan families had turned the entire Anmo City upside down. Anyone caught was asked two questions.

First, are you Mu Qingge?

Second, do you know where Mu Qingge is?

Moreover, they only asked men, not even looking at the women.

Amidst the chaos, Xuan Kui watched Mu Qingge strolling nonchalantly and felt deep admiration.

He truly did not know how the Young Master managed to remain unconcerned while others were questioning him, yet he could walk brazenly down the street.

If it were an average person, they would have hidden by now, right? Who would voluntarily come forward like that?

”Young Master, since they’re all looking, why don’t we announce our identity?” Xuan Kui asked in confusion.

Mu Qingge shook her head slowly, ”I wish to see the Su and Yan families’ leaders, not these small fry.”

Xuan Kui nodded, somewhat understanding.

Mu Qingge suddenly turned to him and asked, ”Your eyes are special?”

Xuan Kui was startled, then nodded, surprisedly saying, ”Young Master, how did you notice?”

Mu Qingge chuckled slightly, finding it a delightful misunderstanding. ”When I saw you yesterday, I remarked that your eyes are nice. At that time, I saw a change in your expression, and guessed that my words might have caused you to misunderstand.”

The reason she said Xuan Kui’s eyes were nice was due to that hawk-like gaze which made her feel familiar.

In her past life, she was not only a Superpower Agent, but also an excellent sniper. To be a sniper, one must possess hawk-like eyes.

So that’s the case!

Xuan Kui gave a shy smile, ”To be honest, Young Master, my eyes are indeed quite special. As long as there is no obstruction, my vision can clearly see things within a hundred miles.”

Mu Qingge’s eyes slightly narrowed, she looked at Xuan Kui in shock.

She closely observed his eyes and found a layer of dazzling film enveloping them, appearing diamond-like. If placed in her previous life, could Xuan Kui be considered a superpower user with auxiliary abilities in vision? Or maybe, he’s a natural-born sniper!

Mu Qingge restrained her inner surprise, looked at Xuan Kui, and nodded, ”Very impressive.”

She only said three words, yet countless thoughts rose within her heart. Since she could bring the grenade gun from her past life into this Otherworld, could she train Xuan Kui into a super sniper?

Others’ Divine Archers use bows!

But her snipers, using sniper rifles, could eliminate enemies within hundreds of miles!

Cool!

Mu Qingge’s brows lifted in delight.

Upon looking at Xuan Kui again, her gaze was like discovering a rare treasure, making Xuan Kui feel a chill.

”Stop!”

A group of people suddenly stood in front of Mu Qingge, blocking her way.

Mu Qingge and Xuan Kui paused, their gaze landing on them.

A token was tied to each of their waists, engraved with the character ’Su’.

It seems they are people from the Su Family.

”What are your names?” the leader asked.

Mu Qingge raised her eyebrow, calmly and composedly replied, ”Mu Qingge.”

Mu, Qing, Ge!

The moment they heard the three words, the people of the Su Family collectively turned pale and drew their weapons, pointing them at Mu Qingge and Xuan Kui.

”Mu Qingge is here!” the leader shouted loudly, immediately drawing the attention of other teams around.

Mu Qingge frowned slightly and said to him, ”No need to be so tense. I was just planning to meet your Family Head. Why don’t you show me the way?”

”Hmph! You bold thief, caught by us, still dare to speak such wild words!” the leader of the Su Family said harshly.

However, the word he almost slipped made Mu Qingge catch it keenly.

The word ’lecher’ made her sense something unpleasant in the air.

On the street, footsteps echoed.

Soon, several hundred people from the Su and Yan families surrounded Mu Qingge and Xuan Kui, layers upon layers.

The street suddenly fell silent, leaving only an eerie atmosphere emanating from this spot.

Xuan Kui watched the surrounding people vigilantly, his gaze sharp.

”Xuan Kui, what is your cultivation level now?” Mu Qingge asked softly.

Xuan Kui was taken aback and answered truthfully, ”After entering the Middle Ancient Realm, my sister and I both had breakthroughs. I am now at the Gray Realm Third Layer, and my sister is at the Gray Realm Fourth Layer.”

Mu Qingge gained a certain understanding of Xuan Kui’s power.

She wasn’t here to fight; she wanted to get to the bottom of the situation.

Suddenly, a loud shout came from the sky: ”Mu Qingge, meet your doom—!”

As the words fell, a gray spiritual power descended from the sky, rushing directly towards Mu Qingge.

Mu Qingge looked up, and the fierce spiritual power was reflected in her clear eyes. She immediately grabbed Xuan Kui’s shoulder, took a step back, and evaded the attack.

The spiritual power missed its target, leaving a deep crack on the ground.

The hundreds of people surrounding Mu Qingge and Xuan Kui quickly stepped back, creating space but still sealing off all escape routes, giving Mu Qingge no chance to leave.

Mu Qingge, pulling Xuan Kui back, saw a figure swiftly descending from the distance. The person held a long weapon, charging towards Mu Qingge.

With an unstoppable momentum, as if determined to pierce through Mu Qingge’s head!

Without thinking, Xuan Kui wanted to block in front of Mu Qingge, but she pushed him aside with a hand and faced the opponent herself.

In her fiery crimson attire, like a song of flames, she stretched out her right hand, seemingly intending to catch the long weapon barehanded. Her action caused a moment of surprise for the person coming at her, but his gaze quickly turned fierce, channeling more spiritual power into the weapon.

Just as Mu Qingge’s hand was about to touch the long weapon, she suddenly slipped, avoiding its sharp part, and grabbed the long shaft, forcefully yanking the person from mid-air, making him fall to the ground.

Both grabbed one end of the weapon, spun in a circle on the ground before coming to a stop.

”Who are you?” Mu Qingge asked coldly, her gaze icy.

The person replied with hatred, ”Who am I? I am Yan Family’s Young Master, Yan Qichuan!”

”Someone from the Yan Family,” Mu Qingge said in a stern voice.

She looked at Yan Qichuan, her voice frosty, ”You are the Young Master of the Yan Family, you’ve come just in time. I was about to demand an explanation from both the Su and Yan families.”

”An explanation! Hmph, defeat me, and I’ll give you an explanation!” Yan Qichuan swiftly turned the long weapon in his hand, trying to force Mu Qingge to let go.

Mu Qingge, as he wished, released her grip on the long weapon but smiled coldly, using the Star Beginning Step.

The Star Beginning Step, unpredictable and without a trace of spiritual power, is the most bewildering technique.

Yan Qichuan only felt the figures before him blur, and suddenly, his wrist throbbed with pain, making him lose grip of the weapon.

With a clang, the weapon fell to the ground, and a cold, razor-sharp dagger was pressed against his neck.

”Everyone, don’t move,” Mu Qingge shouted coldly, making the hundreds of people hesitate and wary.

Xuan Kui immediately picked up the long weapon that had fallen on the ground and stood behind Mu Qingge, guarding her back.

”If you have the guts, kill me!” Yan Qichuan shouted with blood-red eyes full of anger.

His attitude towards Mu Qingge was like a sworn enemy who killed his father.

Mu Qingge sneered disdainfully, ”I’m not here to fight. I’m here to find out what happened. Since you won’t talk, the Young Master of the Yan Family will have to accompany me for a trip.”

”You still want to ask what happened? Mu Qingge, you are truly shameless!” Yan Qichuan exclaimed angrily.

Mu Qingge raised an eyebrow, ”What did I do that was shameless? You talk like you know what shame is.”

”You!” Yan Qichuan was infuriated by her.

Mu Qingge’s gaze turned cold as she surveyed the hundreds of people surrounding her and said coldly, ”If you don’t want to collect your Young Master’s corpse, get out of my way.”

The Yan Family’s people began to retreat gradually at her command, but the Su Family’s people were still hesitant, wanting to hold on.

”Don’t mind me! Kill him! We can’t let him escape! Kill him to avenge your lady!” Yan Qichuan shouted aloud.

Yet this gave Mu Qingge a hint.

Her eyes flickered, and a smirk appeared at the corner of her mouth as she murmured, ”Looks like I’ve found the source.” Avenge the Su Family lady? What happened to the Su Family lady?

”Move aside!” Mu Qingge’s dagger pierced Yan Qichuan’s skin, and blood began to flow.

Yan Qichuan’s face changed color, and his tightly pressed lips trembled slightly.

”Everyone move aside! If anything happens to our Young Master, you will all pay with your lives.” The Yan Family people began to push and force the Su Family people to make way.

A Yan Family leader spoke to Mu Qingge, ”Don’t get too smug. Our Yan Family Elders are on their way. If you dare harm our Young Master even slightly, you’ll die a painful death.”

Mu Qingge gave him a glance, sneering, ”Do you believe I won’t turn both you and your Young Master into tiny pieces right now? Tell your Yan Family Elders that if they want to settle scores, come to the Su Family.”

With that, she grabbed Yan Qichuan and soared into the sky. With Yan Qichuan as her human guide, she wasn’t worried about losing her way. Xuan Kui followed closely. Though his cultivation was only at the Gray Realm Third Layer, he didn’t distract Mu Qingge.

”You even dare to go to the Su Family. You’re truly not afraid of death.” Yan Qichuan mocked.

Mu Qingge glanced at him and smiled playfully, ”Don’t worry. Before I die, I’ll take someone down with me. You seem like a good choice.”

This remark made Yan Qichuan’s face turn pale.

Being captured by Mu Qingge, his momentum had been declining, repeatedly suppressed by her.

Xuan Kui gave him a scornful look, filled with contempt. At the same time, his admiration for his Young Master flowed like an endless river.

”There is the Su Family.” Yan Qichuan pointed to a vast manor on the ground, speaking to Mu Qingge.

Mu Qingge looked down and several powerful auras swept towards her, locking her down. Among them, the most powerful aura was at the Silver Realm Fourth Layer.

Mu Qingge held Yan Qichuan and suddenly descended, directly landing in the front courtyard of the Su Family.

Instantly, countless people poured out of the Su Family, surrounding the three of them.

Mu Qingge’s expression was cold and stern, ignoring those who surrounded her, she just loudly said, ”Where is the Su Family lady? Where is the Su Family Head?”

”You beast, how dare you come to my Su Family!” A thunderous shout erupted from within a house.

Mu Qingge looked up and saw a burly, imposing middle-aged man charging out from behind the crowd. He initially wanted to capture Mu Qingge directly, but upon seeing Yan Qichuan in her grasp, he immediately halted and stood at the forefront of the crowd.

”Release Yan Shishu!” The Su Family Head commanded sternly.

His face was sullen and his gaze at Mu Qingge was as if he wished to tear her apart.

”I’ll release him once I’ve seen Miss Su,” Mu Qingge said.

”You dare mention Nuannuan!” Upon hearing Mu Qingge mention his daughter, the Su Family Head’s hatred intensified.

Mu Qingge raised an eyebrow and spoke loudly, ”Why wouldn’t I dare? Someone used my name to allegedly commit an act against Miss Su. I’m here to investigate this matter.”

”You shameless rogue! Committing such a heinous act and still daring to speak nonsense, and now you’ve kidnapped our Young Master, you truly deserve to die!” A booming voice suddenly came from afar.

Mu Qingge turned to see two figures rushing from the sky above the Su Family, approaching rapidly.

The aura of these two figures was by no means weaker than hers!
