Chapter 684 - 119: You Owe Me a Fan
"Ying Ze!"
Only hearing the voice but not seeing the person, Ying Ze looked up, feeling a fierce wind sweep across his face.
After the wind stopped, Ji Yaohua had already appeared in his room.
Ying Ze’s face darkened slightly, and he said in an unfriendly tone, "Ji Yaohua, this isn’t your Ji Family. If you want to come in, you need to announce yourself."
Ji Yaohua smiled brightly, completely indifferent to Ying Ze’s warning. "I came here to ask if you’ve heard about the recent uproar in the Middle Ancient Realm?"
Without waiting for Ying Ze’s response, he continued on his own, "How could you not know? It happened in your West Continent. How could you, Young Master Ying, not be concerned? I didn’t expect that guy to be from the Sang Family. I sent people to investigate, and it turns out his mother is Sang Lanruo from the Sang Family. That means he’s the brother of your West Continent’s number one beauty, Sang Xuewu."
"However, since he’s an outsider of the Sang Family, why had we never heard of him before? It’s like he suddenly appeared out of nowhere. But Sang Lanruo’s husband is also very mysterious, no one knows his background. There doesn’t seem to be any famous family with the surname Mu in the Middle Ancient Realm!" Ji Yaohua rattled on, stroking his chin in thought.
After a while, his eyes gleamed as he looked at the silent Ying Ze and said, "If I’m not mistaken, your second uncle had an engagement with that Sang Lanruo back then, right?" Then he provocatively raised his eyebrows.
Ying Ze finally looked at him, his gaze cold, "That was something that ended over a decade ago."
Ji Yaohua smirked, his eyes shifting as he said to him, "Why don’t we go to Fusha City to take a look? The Sang Family has managed to refine a Holy Artifact; they might rise again. Besides, we can also see Mu Qingge and find out if he’s the one who refined the Holy Artifact."
"Are you that idle?" Ying Ze glanced at him.
Unexpectedly, Ji Yaohua nodded repeatedly. "Yes, I’m really that idle!"
"If you have time, you should use it to cultivate. Have you forgotten how badly you were beaten before?" Ying Ze mocked.
Ji Yaohua didn’t mind at all, flicking his sleeves, "Victory and defeat are common among soldiers; there’s no need to fuss. Moreover, cultivation requires a balance of work and rest. Otherwise, it’s easy to suffer a setback in training."
"You always have plenty of excuses." Ying Ze organized the documents in his hand and responded casually.
Unable to tolerate his indifferent attitude, Ji Yaohua snatched the documents from him and continued to persuade, "Aren’t you curious if the Sang Family really did refine a Holy Artifact?"
Ying Ze calmly replied, "Since the Sang Family dares to release such information, it’s unlikely to be false." A lie? A single Sang Family wouldn’t dare withstand the wrath of the entire Middle Ancient Realm.
If this were a lie, the Sang Family would be suppressed by the families of the entire realm to the point of having no chance to breathe.
"Aren’t you curious whether the Holy Artifact was really refined by Mu Qingge?" Ji Yaohua continued.
Ying Ze finally looked up at him, "Are you determined to make a trip?"
Ji Yaohua laughed, "I believe I’m not the only one who wants to visit Fusha City now. In the past few days, countless family scouts have been flocking there."
Ying Ze fell silent, a contemplative look appearing in his eyes.
Finally, he nodded and said, "I do want to know why the Sang Family simply announced the emergence of the Holy Artifact without any follow-up action."
"Indeed! In theory, with the emergence of a Holy Artifact, the Sang Family should announce it to the world and host an appreciation event to elevate their status," Ji Yaohua agreed.
In truth, he wasn’t very concerned about this issue. He just wanted to join up with Ying Ze, so he deliberately supported the notion.
Ying Ze remained silent.
With the news of the Holy Artifact’s appearance, many families awaited invitations from the Sang Family, but the Sang Family remained inactive, which indeed raised suspicions.
"We’ll set off tomorrow," Ying Ze said flatly as he took back the documents from Ji Yaohua.
...
Fusha City had been quite restless these days.
The influx of scouts from countless families made Fusha City exceptionally lively and the relationships delicate.
The Sang Family announced the emergence of the Holy Artifact but delayed any follow-up actions, causing many families to doubt whether the Holy Artifact truly existed.
In contrast to the bustling of Fusha City, the Sang Family remained quite peaceful.
Perhaps stimulated by Mu Qingge, in recent days, the Sang Family disciples were diligent in artifact refining, rarely seen around the family grounds.
Mu Qingge sat in her own small courtyard, resting on a rocking chair under a tree, contemplating her matters.
Having obtained the Divine Strategy Middle Volume didn’t mean the matters were concluded.
On the contrary, there were more things awaiting her to handle.
First, she needed to think about how to cultivate according to the methods outlined in the Divine Strategy.
She needed to quickly improve her cultivation, break through continuously, then kill Mu Tianyin, and also find Jiang Li!
Mu Qingge’s eyes turned cold, and a fiercer aura of killing intent emanated from her.
Xie Ya approached with tea, sensing the killing intent from Mu Qingge, pausing her steps. Only after the intent faded did she walk over and gently place the hot tea down.
"Young Master, please have some tea," Xie Ya said softly.
Just as she finished speaking, four figures approached her.
The arrivals were the High Priest, Mu Chen, Mu Peng, and Hou.
These past few days, she hasn’t had time to pay attention to Hou, not expecting that he would grow closer to Mu Chen. Perhaps, it’s because they experienced life and death together, that’s why they’ve become closer.
"Girl, let me go back." As soon as Hou saw Mu Qingge, he spoke bluntly.
His injuries had not yet healed, and cultivating outside was never as effective as in Mu Qingge’s space. Previously, Mu Qingge was in a bad mood, so he couldn’t request it, but now it was the perfect time to bring it up.
Mu Qingge nodded, waved her hand, and Hou disappeared in front of everyone.
This scene no longer surprised anyone.
Especially Mu Chen and Mu Peng, who had entered Mu Qingge’s space before, so naturally, they understood everything. The initial astonishment was dampened by the following events of life and death partings, so they didn’t want to ask much at this moment.
After all, the more cards Mu Qingge had up her sleeve, the more at ease they felt.
"High Priest, your next task is to calculate the location of the Divine Strategy Lower Volume. As one of the people who experienced it back then, think carefully and at least give me some possible clues." Mu Qingge instructed the High Priest.
If there were no clues at all, finding the Divine Strategy Lower Volume would be like fishing for a needle in the sea. As long as there was a clue, a direction to follow, it would be much better.
"Yes." The High Priest bowed.
Next, Mu Qingge looked at Mu Chen and Mu Peng and said, "You mentioned before that there is another Mu Family in the Middle Ancient Realm."
Mu Chen and Mu Peng didn’t know why Mu Qingge suddenly asked this, but they nodded anyway.
"Very good." Mu Qingge gave a small nod and instructed the two, "I want you to go to that Mu Family now, find their person-in-charge, and tell them that in two months, I invite them to gather at Luoxing City to discuss the Mu Clan matters."
Mu Chen and Mu Peng were surprised, and they vaguely guessed Mu Qingge’s plan.
The two took a deep breath and respectfully saluted, "Yes, Young Master."
Previously, they were worried that Mu Qingge would be too deeply affected by the setbacks at Cold Inch and would be depressed for a long time. Unexpectedly, in just a few days, she began to recover and even started further deployments.
After arranging everything, everyone withdrew one by one.
When King Sang Shun came in, he saw them each leaving.
"Ge’er, I have something to discuss with you." King Sang Shun sat beside Mu Qingge and said gently.
Mu Qingge raised an eyebrow.
After Xie Ya served the tea, he withdrew wisely.
King Sang Shun chuckled before teasing, "Si Mo has been gone for two days now, hasn’t he?"
Mu Qingge nodded.
"Hmm." King Sang Shun nodded and didn’t continue with that topic.
He said to Mu Qingge, "Now the outside world knows that the Sang Family has produced a Holy Artifact. According to tradition, we need to host an appreciation event and invite families from all continents to gather and admire it. However, since it was crafted by you and is your weapon, I need to ask for your opinion."
On that day, such a big commotion occurred, so the Sang Family naturally needs to give an explanation to the outside world. But as for the appreciation event...
"An appreciation event..." Mu Qingge mused once over the words. Her clear eyes were slightly thoughtful.
After a brief moment, she lifted her eyes and said to King Sang Shun, "Alright. But I will decide the location."
"Okay, where do you want it to be held?" King Sang Shun asked.
Mu Qingge’s eyes flickered, and she smiled, answering, "Luoxing City."
...
Beneath Fusha City, Ji Yaohua covered her face with a scarf and said to Ying Ze beside her, "The sandstorms in Fusha City really live up to their reputation!"
Ying Ze didn’t respond, just rode the Spirit Beast, slowly heading into the city.
"Are we going directly to the Sang Family?" Ji Yaohua asked.
Ying Ze replied indifferently, "This time we are visiting in a personal capacity, so we need to send in a name card first." It meant that they were not representing the family this time.
"Then let’s hurry to the Sang Family and send the name card." Ji Yaohua urged eagerly.
His reaction piqued Ying Ze’s curiosity, and he turned his gaze to ask, "Why are you so impatient?"
Ji Yaohua’s expression turned peculiar for a moment before he admitted, "My weapon, last time Mu Qingge smashed it with a single punch."
"You want to ask him to craft for you?" Ying Ze understood the reason for Ji Yaohua’s enthusiasm.
Ji Yaohua laughed, "If I could have a Holy Artifact as my weapon, I would have the confidence to fight with Wei Molili! While not many people are seeking him for crafting, shouldn’t I hurry and act first?"
"But I remember, he said he wouldn’t craft for you." Ying Ze kindly reminded.
Ji Yaohua showed a hint of embarrassment in his eyes and murmured, "If I had known earlier that he could craft, and even create a Holy Artifact, I wouldn’t have provoked him then, but rather would have clung to him and flattered him."
"If that’s so, why are you still going?" Ying Ze asked.
Ji Yaohua raised his chin confidently and said, "No matter what, he owes me a fan!"
