Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort-Chapter 160: If You Depart, I Shall Follow (3)

At this moment, Mu Qingge suddenly appeared in front of her, making her eyes light up. She immediately called out, "Mu Gege, you’re back?" This call was filled with genuine sincerity.

Mu Qingge glanced at her and said to Mu Lianrong, "Aunt, I have something to say to you."

Mu Lianrong’s brow also carried some heaviness, as if she too had something to discuss with Mu Qingge. So, she instructed Bai Xiyue, "Xiyue, you go back first."

Mu Lianrong was at the Peak of the Green Realm, and Bai Xiyue dared not eavesdrop outside the door.

If caught, she feared she wouldn’t be able to stay in Mu Mansion, and how could she then assist Prince Rui?

Grinding her teeth, Bai Xiyue reluctantly left.

However, as she left, she left behind a treasure she obtained from Prince Rui.

According to Prince Rui, this treasure is unique in the world, left by an Immortal. It can eavesdrop on anyone’s conversations, even those of top experts in the Purple Realm, without them noticing.

Prince Rui gave it to her to uncover some secret matters of Mu Mansion.

After quietly placing one thumbnail-sized piece of the Jade in the hall, Bai Xiyue hurried back to her room with the other piece.

Soon, the Jade’s luster flickered, and immediately voices transmitted through.

In the main hall, both Mu Lianrong and Mu Qingge never imagined Bai Xiyue had such a treasure in her hands. Their attention at this moment was all on Mu Xiong.

"Aunt, where did Grandpa go?" Mu Qingge asked directly.

Mu Lianrong patted her shoulder, comforting her: "Your grandpa is fine. It’s just that there is a beast tide near Qinling. The Emperor dispatched him to command the stationed Mu Family Army to defend against it."

Beast tide?

Mu Qingge had never heard of such a name before.

But she knew of Qinling. While reading the geographical records of Qin Country, she learned that in the northwest border of Qin Country, there is a Qinling, part of the Wanlei Mountain Range that traverses the Linchuan Continent. Inside Qinling is the domain of beasts and Spirit Beasts.

However, conflicts between humans and beasts rarely erupt.

So, what is this beast tide about?

"How could a beast tide suddenly appear?" Mu Qingge asked calmly.

Mu Lianrong was equally puzzled, slowly shaking her head. There was a hint of fatigue in her expression: "The cause is unknown. Generally, a beast tide occurs once every year or two, and its scale is small. Our stationed troops in Yi City would be enough to handle it without needing your grandpa. This time, it’s indeed strange. However, in the past few days, my efforts to search for clues have yielded nothing."

So, Mu Lianrong’s recent mysterious absence was to investigate the details behind this matter.

Mu Qingge understood in her heart.

But she also heard the worry in Mu Lianrong’s tone. Her eyes flickered as she asked, "Aunt, what are you worried about?"

Mu Lianrong squinted her eyes, furrowing her brow: "Before your grandpa left, he asked me to closely monitor the dynamics of Yi City. If any bad news comes, do not hesitate to leave with you immediately. The tens of thousands of soldiers stationed outside the city are left to protect you. Perhaps he sensed something unusual."

Mu Qingge’s heart trembled.

She didn’t expect Mu Xiong, when leaving, was still worried about her safety and made proper arrangements.

However, his arrangements also exposed the vulnerability of Mu Mansion. In the eyes of the people, the Mu Mansion, as strong as steel, would crumble and collapse without Mu Xiong, lacking any resistance.

Mu Qingge’s gaze turned slightly cold as she asked, "Aunt, how many days has Grandpa been gone? Has there been any news?"

"Your grandpa has been gone for five days. He should have arrived in Yi City, yet strangely, there hasn’t been a single piece of news." Mu Lianrong sighed. The lack of news was precisely what worried her.
