Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort

Chapter 759: Chapter 194: The Top of the Green Talent List Has Changed! (Part 3)

”Bastard! Kneel and apologize!”

A stern shout interrupted the killing intent that was gathering in Mu Qingge’s eyes.

She recognized the owner of that voice, and they had just parted ways not long ago.

’Ying Ze has arrived, hasn’t he?’ The spiritual power entwined around Mu Qingge’s right index finger gradually dissipated.

Ying Chuan’s seeking death was Ying Chuan’s business; she wouldn’t direct her anger toward Ying Ze because of it.

The killing intent on her finger cover had just dissipated when Ying Ze descended from the sky, landing in front of Ying Chuan. He turned and slapped Ying Chuan hard, knocking him to the ground.

”Young Master!” The elder of the Ying Family, seeing Ying Ze appear, felt immense joy, moved to tears.

Ying Ze’s face was cold, and his sharp eyes cut fiercely at Ying Chuan, who was clutching his face on the ground, looking at him. The anger in his heart was hard to suppress.

He had only been away from home for a few months, and his good brother dared to cause such trouble behind his back.

Ying Ze clenched his fists; if the person in front of him wasn’t his own brother, he would have killed him with a punch already.

”Kneel.” Ying Ze coldly ordered.

Ying Chuan’s body trembled, hatred still dwelling in his eyes, but defiance rose within them.

However, he didn’t dare to resist Ying Ze.

Because, he knew very well that while he could use the Ying Family to threaten Mu Qingge and the Sang Family, he was nothing in front of Ying Ze!

The resentment in his heart was firmly suppressed by Ying Chuan, and a look of humiliation appeared in his eyes, but still, under Ying Ze’s gaze, he crawled up from the ground and knelt.

He lowered his head, unwilling to see the surrounding ridicule, nor face Mu Qingge.

He could guarantee that at this moment, Mu Qingge would surely be mocking him!

Seeing him kneel properly, Ying Ze turned to look at Mu Qingge, meeting her amused gaze, and communicated telepathically, ”Ying Chuan cannot be killed. If you really kill him, it will put the Ying Family, the Sang family, and Luoxing City in an awkward position.”

”He’s the one seeking his own death.” Mu Qingge’s lips curled into a faintly mocking smile, also communicating telepathically to Ying Ze.

Ying Ze’s eyes darkened, and he communicated back, ”As soon as I returned home, I heard about this, and I rushed over without a moment’s delay.”

Mu Qingge raised an eyebrow, ”And then?” Her smile started to become teasing.

She was very curious to see how Ying Ze would handle this incident.

Ying Ze slightly frowned, assuring Mu Qingge, ”Once I take Ying Chuan back, I will confine him within the family, ensuring he causes no more trouble outside and never again provokes you. The Ying Family will also formally apologize to the Sang Clan.”

The status of the Ying Family in the West Continent was much higher than that of the Sang Family, and now the conditions Ying Ze offered were already a significant concession, discarding the family’s dignity.

It could be said that if the other party today weren’t Mu Qingge, Ying Ze definitely wouldn’t concede so much.

At most, he would simply take Ying Chuan back to end the matter.

To Mu Qingge, both publicly and privately, Ying Ze did not wish to sever ties.

Publicly, Mu Qingge was a Holy Level Refiner and a Divine Level Alchemist, now a leading figure among the younger generation in cultivation. Her influence may not seem as deep-rooted as the Ancient Clans, but let us not forget her Dragon Teeth team, a Heavenly Level floating guest team controlling a quarter of the Flowing Guest Realm. Straining their relationship would bring no benefits to the Ying Family and might even encourage other families with tensions against the Ying Family to seize the opportunity to draw Mu Qingge to the opposing side.

Privately, the two didn’t get to know each other until after contending at the Ancient Battlefield, having forged a tacit understanding through multiple life-and-death situations, and a promise for a gathering at the Divine Tomb in five years—all reasons Ying Ze preferred not to become estranged from Mu Qingge.

So, he displayed utmost sincerity, hoping to quell Mu Qingge’s rage and remedy the situation.

He looked at Mu Qingge, and Mu Qingge looked back at him.

Mu Qingge could guess Ying Ze’s intentions.

To her, Ying Chuan was like a little clown, posing no threat whatsoever. It’s just that such a pestering rat, occasionally disgusting her, could be annoying.

”What if he refuses to give up? His hatred isn’t so easily extinguished.” Mu Qingge communicated to Ying Ze.

Without any hesitation, Ying Ze promised her, ”If he refuses to give up, I will personally kill him.”

This guarantee caused a slight change in Mu Qingge’s expression. If Han Caicai or Ji Yaohua had made the same promise, she might only believe fifty percent. But since Ying Ze said it, she could believe seventy percent, with the remaining thirty percent as a courtesy to him.

This wasn’t about trust but about the differences in their characters.

Han Caicai’s character involved too much scheming; regardless of what he promised, at critical moments, he would still subconsciously calculate carefully before choosing the most advantageous approach for himself.

And Ji Yaohua was too sentimental; if he were really asked to kill his kin with his own hands, he might not be able to do it.

Only Ying Ze, who has always been true to his word, with his bottom line and principles. Though Ying Chuan was his brother, if he truly persisted in his wrong ways, no matter what, Ying Ze would fulfill today’s promise.

”I also want the Ying Family to return what they got from the Sang Family back then.” Mu Qingge’s eyes twinkled, modifying the conditions.

Back then, because of Sang Lanruo, the Sang Family compensated the Ying Family a lot, which had always been a sore point for the family. If they could seize this opportunity to reclaim what was lost, then the face that the Sang Family lost would be restored.

”Alright.” Ying Ze agreed readily.

The two exchanged thoughts in an instant, while to outsiders, it seemed like just a few moments.

In the eyes of others, it just looked like Ying Ze and Mu Qingge were silently gazing at each other for a while.

”Come over here!” Ying Ze spoke, directing his attention to Ying Chuan, who was kneeling on the ground.

Ying Chuan looked towards Ying Ze, opening his mouth to utter simple syllables.

The servant bravely interpreted, ”Young Master, the Second Young Master says, he is your biological brother, so why do you help outsiders bully him? This person cut off the Second Young Master’s tongue, and instead of avenging him, you interfere with him? Why is that?”

Ying Chuan looked at Ying Ze, nodding fiercely.

Ying Ze’s sharp eyes narrowed dangerously at Ying Chuan, ”If you want to die, you don’t need to trouble others; I can do it myself.”

This statement made Ying Chuan’s eyes shrink abruptly, utterly shocked.

Ying Ze didn’t explain too much. Some things could only be explained to Ying Chuan after taking him back.

However, given Ying Chuan’s incompetent personality, he probably wouldn’t understand even if explained. Being confined in the Ying Clan was undoubtedly better than him going out and offending those he shouldn’t!

Whether he resented or understood was no longer important. Since he could only stay with the Ying Clan for life, he could go nowhere.

”Come here and kowtow to apologize.” Ying Ze commanded once more.

Ying Chuan wanted to resist, but he was powerless against Ying Ze.

Under the mocking and watchful eyes around, he slowly kneeled forward, reaching Ying Ze’s side, raising his bloodshot eyes to look at Mu Qingge.

The unwillingness and humiliation in his eyes were seen by Mu Qingge, and Ying Ze saw it too.

But, so what?

Even if Mu Qingge stood there waiting for Ying Chuan to come for revenge, he probably wouldn’t be able to kill her, and instead would exhaust himself.

A second-generation heir not even at the Gray Realm Second Layer wants to seek revenge against a Golden Realm prodigy? If he dies, no one would pity him.

”Bow your head.” Ying Ze powerfully pressured Ying Chuan.

The Elders of the Ying Family were smart at this moment, silently standing aside, focusing outwardly and inwardly, no longer involving themselves in this matter.

Ying Chuan felt a heavy weight pressing on his shoulders, his shoulders slumped, and his head knocked to the ground.

Bang!

The sound of the kowtow was loud, inciting laughter all around.

Ying Chuan’s face twisted with ugliness, yet he could do nothing. He hated, but others ignored his hatred. His enemies in his heart didn’t regard him at all, even with disdain!

What’s more humiliating than this?

When the second kowtow rang out, Ying Chuan no longer thought about making Mu Qingge suffer, but about how to end himself, which seemed better than losing face.

Yet, he lacked the courage to commit suicide.

Afraid of death, if forced to choose, he’d rather live with humiliation.

Hence, the third kowtow rang.

To Mu Qingge, to the Sang Clan, three kowtows, offering apologies.

Ying Ze spoke again, ”This time, it was Ying Chuan’s recklessness. He offended City Lord Mu, the Sang Clan, and Miss Xuewu. We ask for your forgiveness. In a few days, our Ying Family will bring gifts and personally apologize for today’s incident.”

”The Young Master of Ying is too polite.” Mu Qingge said indifferently.

Ying Ze nodded slightly and instructed the people of the Ying Family, ”Take the Second Young Master away and watch over him carefully; he is not to go anywhere without my permission.”

”Yes, Young Master!”

In front of Ying Ze, the people of the Ying Family would have no hesitation or defiance against his orders.

Ying Chuan sat dazedly on the ground, his forehead somewhat bruised and dirty.

All his hatred had been shattered and broken by the three bows he just made. He knew there was no hope for revenge in this lifetime. Because the only family he could rely on no longer supported him.

He was carried away by the people of the Ying Family, as Ying Ze walked up to Mu Qingge, and quietly said, ”If you have time, can you do me a favor?”

Mu Qingge raised her brow, waiting for his follow-up.

”Can the Divine Artifact I brought be upgraded to a Holy Artifact?” Ying Ze asked.

Mu Qingge immediately understood; Ying Ze had given her enough face in Fusha City, as well as to the Sang family. But when he returned, he would have to report to his family and his father, easing relations between the three sides.

So, he also needed Mu Qingge to help him save face.

If he went back and claimed Mu Qingge agreed to help him refine a Holy Artifact, no matter how much face the Ying Family lost, they would feel content.

”Find a suitable Artifact Soul and you can come find me anytime.” Mu Qingge gave her promise.

Since she had already refined a Holy Artifact for Ji Yaohua, she wouldn’t be stingy with Ying Ze. Even if today’s incident hadn’t happened, she wouldn’t refuse if Ying Ze made such a request.

Ying Ze nodded and turned away.

The farce created by Ying Chuan finally resolved with Ying Ze stepping in.

...

”Hmm, this resolution is best. If the Sang family and the Ying Family had another conflict over a scoundrel, it would be extremely unwise.” King Sang Shun was very satisfied with the outcome.

Mu Qingge stood up and said to him, ”I’m going to visit the Supreme Elders at the clan territory.”

”I’ll go with you.” King Sang Shun stood up and said to Mu Qingge.

The two went to the clan territory and entered the closed cultivation area of the Supreme Elders.

Actually, regarding Divine Status, the Divine Tomb, and even the Transcendence Tribulation Stage, Mu Qingge already knew most of these from Xi Qianxue.

Now coming to the Supreme Elders was to see if there might be new insights to gain.

”So quickly reaching the Golden Realm First Layer! Truly a person of demonic talent.” The Great Supreme Elder said upon seeing Mu Qingge, his eyes lighting up, speaking of her cultivation.

King Sang Shun was also shocked; he hadn’t expected his granddaughter to grow from Silver Realm Third Layer to Golden Realm First Layer in just two years.

”I thought...” King Sang Shun shook his head and smiled.

He had intended to use some news to spur Mu Qingge to hurry her cultivation, but now it seemed there was no longer much necessity.

”Since you’ve reached the Golden Realm, we will honor our promise and tell you everything you want to know but may not know.”

Mu Qingge sat cross-legged before several Supreme Elders, listening quietly.

She didn’t interrupt or mention that she already had some of the information.

When the Supreme Elders finished speaking, she compared their words in her mind, finding little new insight.

”Recently, I received news from the Divine Hall that the Divine Tomb will open in five years.” King Sang Shun suddenly said.

Mu Qingge looked at him, musing to herself, ’Qianxue was indeed right; the Divine Hall has already announced about the Divine Tomb.’

”What? The Divine Tomb is finally opening!” Several Supreme Elders became excited.

The Great Supreme Elder said to Mu Qingge, ”Five years remain, Qingge, you must not disappoint us.”

To this, Mu Qingge simply nodded calmly.

...

On the tenth day of Mu Qingge’s stay with the Sang family, the Green Talent List was updated once again after three years.

In the State Mansion of the Five Continents, that elderly yet authoritative voice rang almost simultaneously—

”First on the Green Talent List, West Continent, Luoxing City, Mu Qingge!”
