Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort

Chapter 760: Chapter 195: City Lord Mu, Top of the Green Talent List (Update 1)

Northern Continent, Xipu City.

This is a must-pass place when traveling from the Northern Continent to the Eastern Continent because there is a teleportation array here that leads to the Eastern Continent.

In a teahouse in Xipu City, there was a lively atmosphere. A play was being performed on stage, while spectators below were each sipping tea and chatting leisurely. The most talked-about topic was none other than the latest Green Talent List.

”To talk about it, Mu City Lord at the top of the Green Talent List is truly a peerless genius! After her first battle made her famous, in just three short years, she soared to the top of this Green Talent List, something beyond the imagination of ordinary people!”

A middle-aged man dressed like a Floating Guest, caught in his enthusiasm, jumped right onto the stage, driving the performers away, and began speaking with fervor.

His rash action was not stopped, simply because the topic he spoke of was of great interest, more captivating than the play that had been heard countless times.

Soon, someone in the audience agreed and stood up, shouting, ”I’ve heard that three years ago, Mu City Lord, during the great hunt in the Sunset Grassland of the Flowing Guest Realm, fought against the Young Master of the Ying Family and the Young Master of the Ji Family, at which time she was only at the Silver Realm Third Layer, so how did she manage to reach the top of the Green Talent List in just three years?”

”Indeed! That mysterious Wei Molili, surely didn’t she fight him?”

”That’s right, the results of this Green Talent List are truly surprising. If you know the inside story, why not share it with us?”

The middle-aged man on stage, hearing the audience chiming in one after another, smiled even more and raised his hand, looking pleased with himself as he addressed everyone, ”Sure thing, sure thing, I do actually know some inside details.”

”Inside story! What kind of inside story, do tell!”

”Hurry up, don’t keep us in suspense!”

”If you keep dawdling, be careful, or we’ll throw you off the stage and kick you out!”

This half-joking threat caused a burst of laughter in the teahouse.

The middle-aged man on stage didn’t mind and continued to smile. He cleared his throat and said in a loud voice, ”To be honest, three years ago at the great hunt in the Sunset Grassland, I was also there. Although I was some distance away, I witnessed the battles between Mu City Lord and the Ying Young Master, as well as the Ji Young Master. The scene, tsk tsk...”

He began his thrilling tale, and the audience listened with great interest without interrupting.

After he had spoken sufficiently, someone from the audience urged, ”We’re here to hear the inside story of how Mu City Lord became the top of the Green Talent List, not your old tales!”

This remark immediately drew others to agree.

The middle-aged man on stage was ’booed’ for a while. He laughed and scolded, ”If you didn’t want to hear me ramble, why didn’t you say so earlier? You waited until I was almost done to embarrass me. Typical behavior of taking advantage and still complaining!”

Saying that, he flicked his sleeve and continued, ”Alright, don’t rush. I’m about to get to the part you’re interested in.” After he finished, he chuckled, making people want to hear more.

”Hurry up, tell us!”

”Get on with it!”

”You aren’t just fooling us, are you?”

The audience below couldn’t help but urge him.

The middle-aged man on stage observed the crowd’s reaction, waited for the right moment, and leisurely said, ”Just before the Green Talent List was announced, I happened to be on a mission in the Central Continent, so I heard some things you don’t know about.”

”What things?”

Someone interjected to ask.

The middle-aged man’s face immediately fell, and he stopped talking.

The surrounding people quickly reacted, blaming the interrupter and then soothing the middle-aged man on stage. After much coaxing, the middle-aged man snorted arrogantly and continued, ”About the Green Talent List, there are two things. The first is that Wei Molili, who had been missing for a long time and was very mysterious, was sent back to the Wei Family by the Xi Goddess. According to eyewitnesses, Wei Molili was carried in unconscious and badly injured, with blood-stained clothes. Tsk tsk.”

”Ah! Wei Molili was actually injured?”

”Who did it?”

”Quiet, I’m about to say.” The middle-aged man on stage glared and immediately silenced the crowd below, continuing, ”The second thing is, it’s said, the Xi Goddess personally witnessed how Wei Molili was beaten like that, and the person who injured Wei Molili was none other than our current new top of the Green Talent List, Mu City Lord of Luoxing City!”

”Ah——!”

The audience was in an uproar.

Soon after, those who realized the situation gasped sharply. Countless mouths below started chattering in discussion.

In a corner of the second-floor private booth of the teahouse, at a table where two people sat facing each other, there was an Immortal man in a plain white robe, exuding a serene and indifferent aura.

It seemed that the noise outside was completely out of harmony with him.

His features were picture-perfect, and his eyes carried a faint smile due to the heated topic of conversation among those people. He teased the red-robed man opposite him, ”Qingge is already so famous. If the people below knew that the Green Talent List leader they are talking about is sitting here having tea, I wonder what scene it would be like.”

Mu Qingge slightly raised the corners of her mouth, put down the teacup in her hand, and said to him, ”Senior Brother Mei, do you also believe these rumors? That man may really know something, but it’s too exaggerated. Wei Molili only had his Spiritual Sense injured and needs to recover, nowhere near as bloody as he described. Even if it were true, it has nothing to do with me.”

Mu Qingge spread her hands, looking completely innocent.

She didn’t know how Xi Qianxue explained the matter of Wei Molili after returning, but the truth certainly wouldn’t be like what that middle-aged man was claiming.

However, she was also certain that Xi Qianxue had informed the Divine Hall about her encounter with Wei Molili, which is why she ended up at the top of the Green Talent List.

She swore, when this news reached her ears, she was more surprised than anyone else!

Because she never cared about the Green Talent List, nor was she interested in the rankings on it in the slightest.

”No matter whether you admit it or not, Qingge, you are now the top of the Green Talent List. I haven’t officially congratulated you yet. There’s no time like the present, so today I’ll toast with tea instead of wine to celebrate for you.” Mei Zizhong raised his teacup, looked at Mu Qingge, and smiled.

Mu Qingge, resigned, could only smile and raise her teacup, lightly clinking it with Mei Zizhong’s, and said, ”Being at the top of the Green Talent List isn’t something worth celebrating. We should celebrate that we are about to reunite with Senior Brother Zhao, Senior Sister Shang, and Senior Sister Zhu.”

At the mention of this, a faint nostalgia also rose in the depths of Mei Zizhong’s eyes.

After leaving Linchuan and arriving in the Middle Ancient Realm, they had been separated, each following their own path. Now they were finally about to gather together again, it was indeed worth celebrating.

The hustle and bustle below continued, and Mu Qingge could occasionally hear her name being mentioned by the people downstairs.

However, she felt nothing, just continued to chat over tea with Mei Zizhong.

When it was about time, they left the tea money and quietly left.

After leaving the teahouse, Mu Qingge said to Mei Zizhong, ”Brother Mei, we have tickets for tomorrow’s teleportation array, so it seems we need to find an inn and rest for the night.”

”Alright.” Mei Zizhong nodded slowly.

From Luoxing City, there are three routes to the Alchemy Institute in East Continent.

The first is a detour from the Southern Continent to East Continent. The second is from the Central Continent to East Continent. However, both paths are too long, especially the second one, which involves crossing the entire Central Continent, making it extremely time-consuming. So, Mu Qingge decisively chose the third route, which is through the Northern Continent to enter East Continent.

This route is the shortest in terms of time and is relatively convenient. After all, although Luoxing City is at the junction of the West Continent and Central Continent, it is close to the Northern Continent and far from the Southern Continent.

In Xipu City, Mu Qingge casually found an inn, booked two upper rooms, and then she and Mei Zizhong each settled in.

The two rooms were next to each other, located in a very quiet part of the inn.

Back in her room, Mu Qingge sat cross-legged on the bed, intending to enter cultivation. However, before she could meditate, she felt somewhat uneasy.

This unease wasn’t the first time she had felt it.

Ever since she used the communication talisman to contact Si Mo and received no response, this unsettling feeling had been haunting her.

”What on earth is happening to you? Why haven’t you replied to my messages? How am I supposed to find you?” Mu Qingge murmured to herself, her clear eyes involuntarily falling on the Palace Bell at her waist.

Every day, she desperately hoped it would ring, just once would be enough.

Yet, every day she was disappointed.

Slowly shaking her head, Mu Qingge forced herself not to overthink, slowly closed her eyes, and entered cultivation.

’Master Silver!’

Unexpectedly, as soon as she closed her eyes, Mengmeng’s voice sounded in her mind, immediately causing her to open her eyes, a gleam of light flashing in them.

In an instant, she disappeared from the room and entered the space within.

”Mengmeng?” As soon as Mu Qingge entered the space, before she had the chance to look around the upgraded area, she saw a gorgeous, slender woman in a colorful dress, standing gracefully before her.

The woman’s features vaguely resembled Mengmeng, but she seemed more mature.

”Master Silver, it’s me!” The woman exclaimed excitedly as she ran toward Mu Qingge.

Mu Qingge then confirmed that she was indeed Mengmeng.

”You...” Mu Qingge widened her eyes, looking at her.

Mengmeng held her skirt with both hands, spun around in front of Mu Qingge, and asked, ”Master Silver, look, I’ve finally grown up.”

Mu Qingge was infected by her mood and also smiled joyfully. She nodded and said, ”You’re finally not a little one anymore.”

”Bad Master Silver, I stopped being a little one a long time ago.” Mengmeng stomped her foot, pouting.

”Yet you still love to act spoiled,” Mu Qingge laughed.

Mengmeng smiled and affectionately took Mu Qingge’s arm, saying, ”Master Silver, come quickly and see our new home.”

Mu Qingge was also curious about the upgraded space. She raised her eyes and took a look around, finding that the space was vastly larger than before, with palaces and pavilions, everything was there.

If she didn’t already know this was a space, she wouldn’t have believed that such a world could exist within it.

Just as Mu Qingge was about to ask Mengmeng what good places had been unlocked with this upgrade, she suddenly felt someone intruding on her room outside.

She frowned and disappeared from the space.
