Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort

Chapter 864: Chapter 299: He Is of the Jing Family Bloodline (3 Updates)

Mu Qingge never expected that the first acquaintance she would encounter in the Central Continent was actually Jing Fengyu, whom she had met once in the Southern Continent Golden Sea Mansion.

The Heavenly Communication Jing Family, isn’t the Jing Family just in the Central Continent?

However, this young talent from the Green Talent List had since then fallen into silence, and the two had never crossed paths again.

’I heard from Hou that the Jing Family’s action that time suffered a great loss!’ Mu Qingge said to herself.

What surprised her the most was that after all these years, Jing Fengyu still remembered her! The main thing was, she was dressed as a woman now!

No matter how, since she was recognized, she couldn’t pretend not to know him.

Mu Qingge smiled, nodded, and said, ”It’s been a long time.”

”It really is you!” Upon Mu Qingge’s acknowledgment, Jing Fengyu immediately smiled joyously. He couldn’t help but carefully examine Mu Qingge, exclaiming, ”After returning from the Southern Continent, I spent a long time recovering and didn’t go out. I never expected that the name Mu Qingge would start resounding across the world. A year ago, I even heard that the Mu Qingge I chatted with in the Golden Sea Mansion was actually a woman who would make men across the world blush. When I saw you just now, I couldn’t believe my eyes, afraid that I had mistaken you for someone else.”

His words made Mu Qingge narrow her eyes.

After not seeing each other for several years, this Jing Fengyu was no longer as fearless and arrogant as before, carrying some pride of a heaven-blessed genius. Now, that pride had been completely restrained, making him appear warm and gentle like jade.

”You are here for the Divine Tomb, right?” Jing Fengyu smiled.

Mu Qingge nodded slightly. This was not something that needed to be hidden.

Jing Fengyu laughed, ”I guessed it right away. Recently, many people have entered the Central Continent all for the Divine Tomb. Since fate has brought us together today, why don’t I host and we gather for a while?”

Mu Qingge wanted to refuse, but just as she was about to speak, she heard Jing Fengyu suddenly utter a soft sound of surprise again.

This sound of surprise was even more astonished and shocked than before.

Mu Qingge looked up to see that the direction he was looking at was toward Jing Hai, who was standing behind her.

”This... him... how could it be?!” Jing Fengyu’s eyes turned from astonishment to shock, as if he had been greatly stimulated.

He even crossed over in two or three steps, grabbing Jing Hai’s wrist and urgently asked, ”What is your surname?”

Jing Hai was startled by his action and instinctively looked at Mu Qingge. He wanted to shake off Jing Fengyu’s hand, but thinking that this person knew the instructor, he didn’t do so.

Mu Qingge’s gaze fell on Jing Fengyu’s hand, raising her eyebrows slightly, she said, ”Young Master Jing, what is the meaning of this?”

Jing Fengyu was jolted back to reality by her words and released Jing Hai’s wrist. Regaining freedom, Jing Hai swiftly stepped back two steps, maintaining a safe distance from Jing Fengyu.

Jing Fengyu’s eyes were full of shock and doubt, he said to Mu Qingge, ”This is not the place to talk, let’s change to another place, and I’ll explain it to you, how about that?”

If it were just small talk, Mu Qingge would have refused Jing Fengyu’s invitation without hesitation.

But, if it was about Jing Hai’s origins, Mu Qingge had no choice but to go.

She pondered for a moment, then nodded.

Seeing Mu Qingge agree, Jing Fengyu was overjoyed. He led Mu Qingge and her party away from the street, walking skillfully to a secluded teahouse.

The teahouse was small, with few people.

Mu Qingge glanced around and noticed the exquisite furnishings and intricately carved decorations, understanding in her heart that this place was akin to a private club in her past life, not just anyone could enter.

”City Lord Mu, please.” Jing Fengyu became very courteous, unlike before when he was so familiar.

This steadiness and maturity, who knows if it counts as a form of his growth over these years.

Mu Qingge cast him a glance and followed into a private courtyard.

The Dragon Tooth Guards and Jing Fengyu’s attendants stayed outside. Inside the room were only Jing Fengyu and one of his personal attendants, along with Mu Qingge, Jing Hai, and Mu Feng.

”To avoid affecting City Lord Mu’s reputation, I’d better open the door.” Jing Fengyu glanced at the tightly closed door and suddenly said.

Mu Qingge’s eyes flickered slightly, she shook her head with a small laugh, ”No need for that, I don’t mind such things.”

At the same time, she sighed in her heart, ’This is the difference between wearing men’s and women’s clothing! If she was dressed as a man at this moment, how could Jing Fengyu care about such details.’

”But this...” Jing Fengyu was still a bit hesitant. It was clear that he genuinely cared for Mu Qingge.

However, Mu Qingge said, ”Talking is other people’s business, what they want to say is up to them. I have always acted with a clear conscience and do not fear rumors. Living while caring so much about others’ opinions, isn’t it just too exhausting?”

Her open-mindedness made Jing Fengyu pause.

After a long while, he nodded in admiration and said to Mu Qingge, ”City Lord Mu’s mindset, I am ashamed of being inferior.”

Since Mu Qingge didn’t mind, he didn’t continue to quibble over this matter.

Jing Fengyu’s gaze returned to Jing Hai.

The gaze, carrying a trace of heat, exploration, and disbelief, made Jing Hai, who was kneeling on the left side behind Mu Qingge, feel somewhat uncomfortable, causing him to shift his shoulders unwittingly.

This action naturally wouldn’t escape Mu Qingge’s eyes.

She smiled slightly, placing the teacup in her hand on the table, deliberately making a sound.

Jing Fengyu snapped back to reality, retracting his gaze from Jing Hai and looking at Mu Qingge. Seeing her playing with the teacup, her expression full of amusement, his face turned embarrassed as he apologized, ”Pardon me, City Lord Mu, don’t take offense.”

”Isn’t it time for Young Master Jing to explain why you’re so particularly interested in my disciple?” Mu Qingge half-jokingly said.

Jing Fengyu exclaimed in surprise, ”So, he is City Lord Mu’s disciple!”

Mu Qingge nodded slightly.

Jing Fengyu, however, slightly frowned and said, ”Just now, the reason I was so astonished was that I sensed a trace of the same bloodline on him as mine.”

Saying this, he looked at Jing Hai again and asked, ”Are you by any chance surnamed Jing?”

Jing Hai did not answer him but looked towards Mu Qingge. The latter, sensing something, gave a slight smile and said, ”My disciple is indeed surnamed Jing, but he might not be related to your Central Continent’s Heavenly Communication Jing Family. I met him in a remote fishing village on the border of the Southern Continent and have kept him by my side ever since.”

”No! If he is surnamed Jing, then he must have some connection to my Jing Family!” Jing Fengyu asserted confidently.

He had a slight doubt towards Mu Qingge’s words because he once said that the Jing Family’s bloodline could not be left outside. Unless they were those without the bloodline who left the family on their own. But, he clearly detected a hint of awakening bloodline scent from Jing Hai.

For a person who can awaken their bloodline independently without going through the family baptism, they are a peerless genius to a Heavenly Communication Master!

’No matter what, this child must be brought back to the family!’ Jing Fengyu resolved in his heart.

”Why is Young Master Jing so certain?” Mu Qingge smiled with a hint of amusement.

She saw a trace of resolute determination in Jing Fengyu’s eyes, but does he intend to take Jing Hai away without consulting her opinion?

Jing Fengyu snapped out of his shock and looked at Mu Qingge, startled by her playful expression. He thought inwardly, ’I nearly forgot, he’s following beside her, he’s her disciple. Without her permission, how can he follow me back to the Jing Family?’

Jing Fengyu regained his composure and said to Mu Qingge, ”City Lord Mu might not know, but the bloodline of the Jing Family is very special. Once awakened, all family members can mutually feel it. So, I’m quite certain he’s of the Jing Family bloodline. However, why he has ended up in the Southern Continent needs to be thoroughly investigated back at the family.”

Having said that, he also asked Jing Hai, ”Do you know your background? Who are your parents?”

But Jing Hai continued to look at Mu Qingge without answering his question. His gaze and every move revealed his trust in Mu Qingge, causing Jing Fengyu’s heart to sink.

It seems that his idea of bringing Jing Hai back to the family has encountered more difficulties.

”Answer Young Master Jing’s question.” Mu Qingge spoke.

At this, Jing Hai finally nodded and respectfully said to her, ”Yes, Instructor.”

Instructor?

’What a strange appellation?’ Jing Fengyu wondered.

Jing Hai said to Jing Fengyu, ”I was born in a small fishing village on the edge of the Southern Continent, and my parents lived there too. But when I was young, my father wanted to pursue the path of the strong and left home. A year later, my mother left to find my father, leaving me alone until I met the instructor, whom I’ve been following ever since.”

Jing Hai’s story was quite ordinary.

Jing Fengyu felt a bit disappointed because he hadn’t heard any useful clues.

The only hypothesis he could make was that perhaps Jing Hai’s father was a member of the Jing Family who had not awakened the bloodline. He left the family, ended up in the Southern Continent, got married and had children, but unexpectedly, the bloodline of the Heavenly Communication Master did not awaken in him but did in his son.

”Would you be willing to return to the Jing Family with me? You have the bloodline of the Heavenly Communication Master. At such a young age, you awakened without undergoing the family’s baptism ceremony, showing great talent. Once you return to the family, the family will spare no effort in providing you with the best cultivation resources, and you can have guidance from famous masters on the path of the Heavenly Communication, no longer having to explore alone.” Jing Fengyu stated directly.

Return to the family!

Embrace the heritage!

Enjoy the resources!

Hold a high status!

Jing Fengyu’s words were filled with temptation.

Jing Hai was stunned; he had never known what made him different. Even when he realized his bloodline, he didn’t think he was amazing, only felt he finally had some value and could help his mentor.

However, now, through Jing Fengyu’s words, he realized he was no longer alone but belonged to a family. Moreover, this family was so formidable!

Yet, he did not nod eagerly in excitement.

His silence made Jing Fengyu uneasily look at Mu Qingge, requesting, ”City Lord Mu, although he is your disciple, he is also a bloodline of our Jing Family in exile. According to our ancestral teachings, he should return to the family. This would not harm him nor affect the relationship between you and your disciple. What do you think...”

He needed Mu Qingge’s agreement. He believed that once Mu Qingge agreed, the matter would be settled.

However, Mu Qingge merely smiled and said, ”This matter is Jing Hai’s own affair. It’s his choice, not mine.” With a single sentence, Jing Fengyu’s hopes were dashed.

But it also delighted Jing Fengyu. In his view, as long as Mu Qingge didn’t obstruct, who would refuse such favorable terms?

The Heavenly Communication Jing Family is not comparable to ordinary families!

He gazed at Jing Hai with anticipation, awaiting the latter’s reply.

However, Jing Hai’s reply made his expression freeze.

”I want to follow the instructor, not going anywhere.” Jing Hai said without hesitation.

”What did you say?” Jing Fengyu looked at him in disbelief.

Jing Hai reiterated, ”I want to follow the instructor, not going anywhere.” His tone was calm without a hint of hesitation, nor did his words reveal any reluctance about not returning to the Jing Family.

”This matter is not trivial, you must think it through.” Jing Fengyu reminded him again.

Jing Hai, however, nodded firmly.

Jing Fengyu looked at him in disbelief, taking a while to regain his senses. He asked relentlessly, ”Do you have any concerns? You can speak boldly, no need to hold back.”

Jing Hai shook his head, ”Being by the instructor’s side is my greatest wish.”

His resolute attitude made Jing Fengyu feel distressed. After a while, he said, ”This matter is not urgent, take your time to think, you don’t need to answer me in haste.”

After speaking, he looked at Mu Qingge again, his expression extremely earnest, ”City Lord Mu, you must know what choice is best for Jing Hai. Please persuade him, I’ll visit again in a few days.”

”Alright, this is indeed a matter that requires careful consideration.” Mu Qingge nodded.

Her attitude made Jing Fengyu’s heart relax. However, it made Jing Hai anxious and say, ”Instructor...”

Mu Qingge raised her hand, stopping Jing Hai.

Then she engaged in some casual conversation with Jing Fengyu about matters of the Central Continent before they each took their leave.

After Jing Fengyu left, he was no longer in the mood to wander, hurrying back to the family to report on Jing Hai’s matter.

Meanwhile, Mu Qingge and the others headed to the other courtyard.

On the way, Jing Hai asked in confusion, ”Instructor, did Little Hai do something wrong? Did I make you angry so that you don’t want me anymore?”

Mu Qingge looked at him in surprise, ”Why would you have such thoughts?”

Jing Hai pouted in grievance, ”Listening to the instructor, it seems as if you want me to go with that person to the Jing Family.”

Mu Qingge laughed, ”Going to the Jing Family has many benefits for you. Moreover, Jing Fengyu also said, if you go to the Jing Family, our mentor-disciple relationship won’t change. Not taking advantage of a good deal would be foolish, wouldn’t it?”
