Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort

Chapter 701 - 136: Fengyun Han Family (Second Update)

"Young Lord, Commander Mo, there’s a disturbance outside the inn."

The Dragon Tooth Guard on duty suddenly walked into the room to report.

This sentence interrupted the conversation between Mu Qingge and Mo Yang, filling both with curiosity.

They had just arrived, and already someone was causing trouble?

Mo Yang’s expression darkened. He turned to the Dragon Tooth Guard and asked, "Who is causing the trouble? And what is the nature of this trouble?"

The Dragon Tooth Guard replied, "A group of about ten people came to the door wanting to stay. The innkeeper already explained that the inn has been reserved by us, but they refused to leave and even injured the innkeeper, acting very arrogantly. The lead woman even said... even said..."

"Said what?" Mo Yang frowned as the Dragon Tooth Guard hesitated.

Mu Qingge’s eyes narrowed slightly.

The Dragon Tooth Guard sneakily raised his eyes to glance at Mu Qingge, then quickly lowered them. He gritted his teeth and said, "She recognized our people guarding the door as Dragon Tooth, yet she still arrogantly claimed that even Mu Qingge would show her some respect, questioning our worth."

As soon as he finished speaking, he hurriedly knelt on one knee as if he had committed a grave error.

Mo Yang turned and looked at Mu Qingge.

But Mu Qingge’s eyebrows had already risen when he said these words.

There was a teasing glint in her eyes as she said faintly, "I had no idea there was someone so important that I have to defer to."

"Perhaps she doesn’t know the Young Lord is here, and thus dares to speak such nonsense," the kneeling Dragon Tooth Guard quickly added.

The smile on Mu Qingge’s lips carried a hint of mystery. She said to the Dragon Tooth Guard, "Get up."

The Dragon Tooth Guard immediately stood up but did not leave, waiting for Mu Qingge’s decision.

"Let’s go see who this person is that I must defer to," Mu Qingge said, flicking her sleeves.

"Young Lord," Mo Yang tried to stop her, "it’s just some insignificant clowns, why disturb your rest? I’ll deal with her immediately."

Mu Qingge’s smile grew wider, "Since she invoked my name, why would she respect you?"

"If reason doesn’t work, use force," Mo Yang said decisively.

Mu Qingge’s eyes swept over him, then she laughed suddenly, "Mo Yang, do you always act so domineering outside?"

Mo Yang’s entire demeanor stiffened, and he immediately knelt on one knee to apologize.

"Stand up, I didn’t say anything bad about you. After all, we Dragon Tooth don’t need to bow to anyone," Mu Qingge said with a smile.

With that, she left the room and headed toward the inn’s entrance.

Mo Yang quickly got up and, along with the earlier Dragon Tooth Guard, followed Mu Qingge.

...

As they approached, Mu Qingge heard a woman’s shouting.

She frowned slightly; the voice was somewhat familiar, but she couldn’t recall where she had heard it. She just felt it was rather grating and unpleasant.

A person whose voice was unpleasant to her ears had no standing to demand her deference.

The teasing expression in Mu Qingge’s clear eyes intensified.

She walked over and heard the woman shouting, "Do you know who I am? I’m the lady of the Han Family! This is the Northern Continent, not the West Continent, how dare you make things difficult for me here!"

So it was her!

The mention of the Han Family sparked Mu Qingge’s memory.

An entirely forgotten figure re-entered her mind.

Mu Qingge stopped walking and didn’t go out immediately.

Mo Yang caught up, and seeing her halt, he asked in a low voice, "Young Lord..."

"It’s Han Yiren’s sister," Mu Qingge said blandly.

"The Young Master of the Han Clan’s sister?" Mo Yang frowned. He already had a poor impression of Han Yiren, let alone her sister.

After a moment of silence, Mo Yang said to Mu Qingge, "In that case, shall I have a few rooms vacated..."

"Han Yiren, what are you doing?" Before Mo Yang could finish, a more familiar voice to Mu Qingge interrupted.

Mu Qingge raised her eyebrows, her tone playful, "Han Caicai is here too."

Compared to Han Yiren, she naturally knew this latter voice better.

"Second Brother!" Han Yiren’s voice came again, tinged with surprise.

Soon, Mu Qingge heard her explain, "Second Brother, I heard you were coming back these few days, so I thought I’d come here to surprise you. I didn’t expect you’d arrive today."

’So they weren’t traveling together.’ Mu Qingge understood a bit more clearly.

Han Caicai’s impatient voice came through, "You should stay at home instead of causing trouble here."

"Second Brother, I was doing it for you," Han Yiren said in a resentful tone. "Your timing is perfect; look at how they’ve taken over the best inn in the city. There aren’t that many of them—how could they need so many rooms? You know their master, don’t you? Speak to them."

Upon hearing this, Mu Qingge’s eyes flickered slightly, and she stepped out.

When she saw Han Caicai, it just so happened he was scrutinizing the Dragon Tooth Guards because of what Han Yiren had said and recognized their identity.

"You are Dragon Teeth!" Han Caicai’s narrow eyes suddenly widened.

His shock was not yet over when he saw a figure he had longed for day and night emerge from the inn. He instantly exclaimed, "Qingge!"

His loss of composure caused Han Yiren to furrow her brow.

Following his gaze, she saw Mu Qingge coming out, her brow furrowing even more deeply.

From the bottom of her heart, she did not want her second brother to get too close to Mu Qingge, lest he make a wrong step. However, she had not expected Mu Qingge to appear here. Could it be she came for her brother?

This suspicion made Han Yiren immediately wary.

Mu Qingge walked over, her gaze sweeping over Han Caicai and Han Yiren. Behind them there seemed to be some people, presumably Han Family affiliates.

"Qingge, since leaving Luoxing City, it has now been two years since we last met," Han Caicai murmured while gazing at Mu Qingge.

Mu Qingge smiled faintly, "With nothing important happening, what difference does it make whether we meet or not?"

"Then your visit to the Northern Continent this time..." Han Caicai blurted out, but then immediately realized, nodding, "Messages came before, saying the people from Xuan Yue, Bailian, and Giant Spirit are also here in the Northern Continent; you must have come for this matter as well."

Knowing Mu Qingge’s visit to the Northern Continent could not possibly be for him, yet he could not hide the disappointment in his expression.

Mu Qingge smiled faintly, remaining noncommittal.

She fixed her gaze on Han Yiren, smiling at her, "Miss Han, I wonder how you plan to give me a three-point courtesy?"

These last four words were enunciated particularly heavily, laced with amusement.

Before Han Yiren could respond, a frosty light shot from Han Caicai’s narrow eyes. He turned to Han Yiren and asked, "Yiren, did you really say such a thing?"

"I..." Han Yiren was somewhat frightened by her brother’s expression. She had not realized back then that Mu Qingge was present when she said that.

"Hurry and apologize to City Lord Mu!" Han Caicai commanded sternly.

Han Yiren had originally felt a bit regretful for her words, but being yelled at by Han Caicai made her feel aggrieved, and she immediately shouted, "Why should I apologize? Who is he, to warrant an apology from me, the eldest daughter of the Han Family?"

"You are impudent!" Han Caicai roared in anger, raising his hand to strike her cheek.

Smack!

A crisp slap rang out, leaving both Han Caicai and Han Yiren stunned.

"You hit me? Have you forgotten how I helped you reclaim the position of the Han Clan’s Young Master once you returned?" Han Yiren covered her burning cheek, looking at Han Caicai in shock.

Han Caicai was also taken aback, his stiff neck turning towards Mu Qingge. He saw her mocking expression.

He had thought Mu Qingge would call out to stop him at the last moment, allowing him to go with the flow and drop the matter. Unexpectedly, Mu Qingge kept silent, letting the slap land as it did.

His expression shifted several times, and he said to Han Yiren, "Enough! Your help to me was not purely out of goodwill. We both know what truly lies beneath."

"You!" Han Yiren was both angry and furious, her eyes fixed on Han Caicai without speaking further.

Mu Qingge did not wish to listen to the siblings’ disputes.

She turned and instructed Mo Yang, "Prepare a few rooms for them." With that, she returned to the inn. Accommodating them here was entirely for Han Caicai’s sake.

Seeing Han Yiren, she remembered this woman seemed to have once coveted her man.

Hmm, if she has truly come to her senses, Mu Qingge would let it go. But if she dared to daydream anymore, Mu Qingge wouldn’t care if she was Han Caicai’s sister.

Mu Qingge’s departure made Han Caicai cease his argument with Han Yiren instantly. He hurriedly caught up to her and said, "Qingge, I know you’re heading to Tianping City; why don’t we travel together?"

Mu Qingge stopped, turning her gaze toward him.

Han Caicai continued, "Don’t misunderstand; from here to Tianping City, one has to pass through Fengyun City, which is the Han Clan’s seat, so we are indeed on the same path. Besides, we are still friends, after all. Now that you’re in the Northern Continent, how can you pass by the Han Family without a visit? In any case, let me fulfill the duties of a host."

Mu Qingge looked into Han Caicai’s eyes, seeing the expectation and persistence in his narrow gaze.

Upon careful thought, it seemed that even if she refused, they would still travel together for some time. It would be better to be open and straightforward.

"Very well." Mu Qingge quickly gave her answer.

Han Caicai, who was anxious a moment ago, suddenly revealed a delighted smile upon hearing her response.

However, Mu Qingge didn’t pay him any more attention and continued to walk forward, leaving him with nothing but a sentence: "My people will depart tomorrow."

...

The next day, Mu Qingge’s group left Jiuyang City together with Han Caicai.

The departure of both parties at once exceeded their previous plans.

Han Yiren trailed behind, watching the retreating figures of Mu Qingge and Han Caicai from afar, her expression perpetually dark and menacing.

Despite the unpleasantness with Han Caicai yesterday, it was a trivial matter. Their interests had long been closely intertwined, impossible to separate.

Therefore, she had to stop Han Caicai from making mistakes!

’No, I must make my brother give up on this.’ Han Yiren thought to herself. She looked again at Mu Qingge, growing more uncomfortable, feeling as though everything stemmed from Mu Qingge’s presence.
