Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort-Chapter 244: Return of the King (Part 5)

"Miss, the young lord has returned. Should we report this to the prince?" Lv Zhi cautiously reminded.

Upon the mention of Qin Jinhao, Bai Xiyue’s face turned pale.

Back then, Qin Jinhao had asked her to sabotage the relationship between Mu Xiong and Mu Qingge, causing a rift between them. However, she achieved nothing. Each attempt was effortlessly resolved by Mu Qingge, instead leading to gossip behind her back in the Mu Mansion.

This matter has already made Qin Jinhao somewhat cold and dissatisfied with her. For her future, she indeed needed to do something to solidify her position.

Pressing her lips together, Bai Xiyue turned and walked towards her own courtyard.

...

On the other side, Mu Xiong brought Mu Lianrong and Mu Qingge to the Mu Family’s ancestral hall.

Inside, the spiritual tablets of the Mu Family ancestors were enshrined, including those of Mu Xiong’s wife and his two sons. They all died for the glory of the Mu Family and were qualified to be in the ancestral hall.

Beside her father Mu Liancheng’s tablet, Mu Qingge also saw her mother’s tablet. It was also the first time she learned her mother’s name.

Sang Lanruo, a gentle and virtuous name.

After Mu Xiong led by example and offered incense, he turned to Mu Lianrong and Mu Qingge and said, "Traditionally, women are not allowed in the ancestral hall. However, the Mu Family now only has the three of us, so those old rules need not be strictly observed. Come, pay your respects to the Mu Family ancestors."

Mu Qingge and Mu Lianrong obeyed, kneeling on the prayer mats and bowing three times earnestly, only standing up after receiving Mu Xiong’s approval.

Afterwards, the three discussed their recent experiences. Mostly it was Mu Qingge speaking, while the other two listened.

However, Mu Qingge left out some parts, including the matter of Mengmeng.

But regarding the Linglong Divine Spear, she did not conceal it.

In front of the two, Mu Qingge shook her wrist, the finger cover connected to her bracelet emitted a dazzling white light, and in an instant, it transformed into the Linglong Spear, which Mu Qingge held in her hand.

Mu Xiong’s eyes narrowed, marveling, "Never did I imagine that in my lifetime, I would see a Divine Artifact with my own eyes. Furthermore, this Divine Artifact belongs to a descendant of the Mu Family."

"Qingge, your incredible fortune makes even your aunt envious!" Mu Lianrong muttered, looking at the Linglong Spear in Mu Qingge’s hand with a face full of admiration.

Mu Qingge smiled faintly and with a flip of her hand, the Linglong Spear transformed back into a finger cover. She said, "Aunt, there’s no need for envy. If Qingge is fortunate enough to encounter another Divine Artifact in the future, I’ll make sure to get one for you. Of course, grandfather won’t be left out either." When she said this, she was extremely confident. Because she believed if Mengmeng could present her with a Divine Artifact as a greeting gift, there would surely be a second, third one... even more. Once she repeatedly breaks through in her cultivation and unlocks the secrets of that space, obtaining Divine Artifacts will be a piece of cake.

However, her nonchalance made Mu Xiong chuckle and shake his head, while Mu Lianrong jokingly scolded, "You think Divine Artifacts are like cabbages? Available everywhere. Having you, such an extraordinary kid in the Mu Family, is enough. I’m not greedy."

"Indeed, the more means you have to save yourself, the more at ease your aunt and I will be. Grandfather has seen it clearly, my granddaughter is not destined for mediocrity, Qin Country is too small for your ambitions! Hahaha—!" Mu Xiong laughed heartily.

After the laughter, he then spoke in a serious tone, "Ge’er, you must keep the matter of having a Divine Artifact a secret; if it gets out, I’m afraid you will face increasing trouble."

Mu Qingge nodded, "Rest assured, grandfather, how could Ge’er not know that without being strong enough, a Divine Artifact is a hot potato? I won’t easily use the Linglong Spear, and if I do, I won’t leave any witnesses."
