Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort novel Chapter 479

Chapter 479: Chapter 123: I Take Full Responsibility for My Actions!

As the silver-haired elder descended from the sky, the crowd erupted once more.

"Headmaster!"

"Headmaster!"

Voices echoed all around.

"Master actually came." Diao Yuan slowly stood up, Yin Zhe’s eyes fixed on the newcomer Hua Cangzhu, his tone revealing no emotion.

"So this is Headmaster Hua?" Feng Yugui murmured, jealousy surging in his eyes!

He had flattered Diao Yuan with the hope of being introduced to Headmaster Hua, to become his disciple. Not just because Hua Cangzhu was an Advanced Alchemist, but because he was someone dispatched from the Medicine Tower Headquarters.

Becoming his disciple would undoubtedly be a significant advantage, a trump card, in his fight for the throne.

But why? Why did that damned Mu Ge have to compete with him for everything he wanted?

Thinking of all his efforts to meet Hua Cangzhu and petition to be taken as a disciple, all in vain. And Mu Ge? With just one elixir refined, two of the strongest in the Medicine Tower were fighting to take her as a disciple!

Seeing Hua Cangzhu standing before Mu Qingge, Feng Yugui’s resolve to see Mu Qingge dead grew firmer!

Right! And that Fu Tianlong too!

Feng Yugui’s eyes glared viciously in the direction of Fu Tianlong. ’If it weren’t for his incompetence, how would Mu Ge enjoy such glory at this moment? Everything was ruined by his hands! Traitors must die!’

"Mu Ge, would you like to become my disciple?" Hua Cangzhu said directly to Mu Qingge as he landed, not sparing a glance at Lou Chuanbai.

But before Mu Qingge could answer, Lou Chuanbai smiled slightly: "Headmaster, long time no see."

Only then did Hua Cangzhu seem to notice Lou Chuanbai, glancing at him indifferently and saying in a calm tone, "So it’s Master Lou. What? Didn’t you go wander the world? You’ve returned just in time."

"Of course, it’s timely. It also shows I have a great destiny with this little fellow!" Lou Chuanbai said with a smile, seemingly unaware of any sarcasm in Hua Cangzhu’s words.

Hua Cangzhu’s eyes narrowed, with a cold gleam in the slits. He snorted coldly, "Entering my Medicine Tower means being destined with it. Why has it turned into being destined with you in Master Lou’s mouth?"

On the stands, the chatter gradually hushed.

Because everyone noticed the tension between the two masters.

Zhao Nanxing leaned towards Mei Zizhong and smiled, "It has begun."

Mei Zizhong nodded slightly, a hint of solemnity in his brows.

After a moment, he spoke with concern, "This Mu junior brother, with talents near demonic, can now craft advanced top-grade elixirs. It’s only a matter of time before he reaches the Spirit Level. Such an unparalleled genius, Master wouldn’t want to miss; how could Headmaster Hua willingly hand him over?"

Zhao Nanxing nodded in deep agreement, "Senior Brother is right. It seems this battle for recruitment will be incredibly fierce."

"If it were before, I could have persuaded Mu junior brother to join our sect." Mei Zizhong lamented in his heart. If Mu Qingge had decided on his path earlier, Hua Cangzhu wouldn’t have been able to intervene today.

To Mei Zizhong and his companions, their own master was naturally the best, and their sect the greatest.

In contrast, on Hua Cangzhu’s side, the disciples were numerous and of varying quality. How could Hua Cangzhu have the energy to teach them individually? This is why Diao Yuan could amass such a powerful influence.

Because, as Hua Cangzhu’s eldest disciple, aside from Hua Cangzhu himself, he was the indisputable authority in the sect!

Understanding Mei Zizhong’s worries, Zhao Nanxing couldn’t help but comfort, "Some things are beyond our control. We have to trust Master. Headmaster Hua has targeted Master for years; if Master weren’t capable, how could he protect himself?"

Mei Zizhong could only nod, calming himself before continuing to watch the action on the stage.

Lou Chuanbai and Hua Cangzhu, the most influential people in the Medicine Tower, were all competing to take Mu Ge as a disciple. Why didn’t such a good fortune fall on him?

This was the heartfelt sentiment of countless Medicine Tower disciples, their gazes towards Mu Qingge filled with naked jealousy and envy.

As for those female disciples bewitched by Mu Qingge’s ’beauty,’ they felt even more glorified, seeing their Mu junior brother not only charming but also incredibly capable! Most importantly, his ability to attract the attention of the two major figures of the Medicine Tower meant he was destined to excel!

In an instant, Mu Qingge’s ranking in the female disciples’ hearts soared to nearly equal that of Mei Zizhong.

"Do you think Mu junior brother is so amazing, he might become the first Spirit Level Alchemist in the history of our Medicine Tower Branch?"

"That’s quite possible! He’s now on par with Senior Brother Mei as an Advanced Alchemist, and he’s only just entered the tower. Plus his incredible Spiritual Sense strength... Oh my, the more I think about it, the more unattainable he seems! What should we do, do we have no chance?"

"Stop drooling, haven’t you seen Mu Shidi gift the Guiyuan Beauty Pill he personally crafted to Shang Shijie? Sigh, could it be that even our Mu Shidi can’t escape the charm of the number one beauty of the Medicine Tower?"

"That’s not necessarily true; didn’t Mu Shidi say he was just making up for something? Maybe, he’s actually into someone like me!"

"Hey, can you guys quiet down a bit? Let’s talk about something serious for a change!" A male disciple couldn’t take it anymore and interrupted, pointing his chin forward, "Like, in this current situation, who exactly will your Mu Shidi choose as his mentor?"

His words had just fallen, and the anger in the eyes of all the female disciples immediately turned into admiration.

"It’s always been the mentors choosing disciples; now that Mu Shidi is choosing a mentor, it only proves how outstanding our Mu Shidi is!"

"Whoever Mu Shidi chooses, it doesn’t matter. The main thing is, if only he could take a look at me!"

"A bunch of idiots!" The male disciple couldn’t stand it anymore and turned his head away.

Hua Cangzhu and Lou Chuanbai, after a round of verbal sparring, both turned their attention to Mu Qingge.

It seemed they were waiting for her final decision.

While everyone was waiting for her to choose one of them, she suddenly smiled and said to the two of them, "Sorry, Dean Hua, Master Lou. For now, I have no plans to join any mentorship."

The light in Hua Cangzhu’s eyes flickered; he seemed a bit displeased with this answer. He coldly warned, "Mu Ge, let me give you a kind reminder, overly arrogant talents often meet unpleasant ends."

Mu Qingge’s lips curled slightly, unaffected, she just smiled lightly.

Lou Chuanbai didn’t show any dissatisfaction; instead, he generously said, "No problem, no problem! Since you’ve already joined the Medicine Tower, you can’t escape anyway. Take your time; whenever you decide to join a mentorship, feel free to come to me."

"Thank you, Master Lou," Mu Qingge replied smoothly, expressing her gratitude.

Seeing this, Hua Cangzhu realized he was too hasty just now. He also added, "My door will always be open to you. You can take your time to think about which side suits you more. Once you’ve decided, you can come to me anytime without notifying anyone."

Mu Qingge smiled lightly, lowered her eyes, and said nothing more.

Seeing her unfazed demeanor, Hua Cangzhu was frustrated but couldn’t vent it out, so he just snorted coldly at his old rival Lou Chuanbai and left with a flick of his sleeve.

Once Hua Cangzhu left, Lou Chuanbai naturally no longer had a reason to stay.

He glanced at Mu Qingge and finally said meaningfully, "Take care of yourself," and left as well.

"Take care of yourself?" Mu Qingge mulled over the words in her mouth and instantly understood, "Is he reminding me to be careful not to anger Dean Hua’s side and bring trouble?"

"Mu Ge! Mu Ge!"

As soon as the two giants left, the crowd on the spectator stands immediately relaxed.

Wei Guanguan quickly ran toward the stage, with Wei Qi, Shui Ling, and even the five people who had wagers with Mu Qingge and Fu Tianlong following behind her.

Casually watching the scene of several people running up the stage, Mei Zizhong said to Zhao Nanxing and Shang Zisu, "Master is back; let’s go."

Zhao Nanxing and Shang Zisu nodded lightly.

As the three were leaving, Zhu Ling said to Mei Zizhong, "Goodbye, Senior Brother Mei."

Mei Zizhong paused briefly, slightly tilted his head, nodded, and then left with his junior siblings.

The elegant and graceful silhouette left Zhu Ling’s eyes filled with admiration.

"Mu Ge, you won, you won! You’re now the eighth on the Medicine Tower’s popularity ranking!" Wei Guanguan exclaimed excitedly. It was as if she had won herself.

"Eighth? Our Mu Ge has refined an Advanced Top Grade Elixir; he probably surpasses even that number one, Senior Brother Mei," Wei Qi said proudly.

Shui Ling giggled and added, "It’s a pity that if Mu Ge wants to improve his rank, he needs to challenge those ahead or wait for the upcoming ranking competition. I heard that the ranking competition is happening in six months this year."

"Eighth, not bad," Mu Qingge suddenly said.

She’s not interested in any leaderboard as long as being listed brings benefits. If someone told her that entering the top three or being at the top brought greater benefits, she might be a bit interested.

"You’re always like this—don’t care about anything but still somehow outperform everyone," Wei Guanguan said helplessly.

Mu Qingge shrugged, spreading her hands, "Can’t help it, I’m just that low-key, you know?"

"Ugh~!" Wei Guanguan pretended to gag, extremely unflattering.

Wei Qi also looked at her with disdain. "Appears to be an innocent little rabbit but is actually a big bad wolf; that’s not low-key, it’s wolves in sheep’s clothing."

"Who did you say?" Mu Qingge asked with a smile.

Wei Qi suddenly felt a chill down his spine and immediately realized: "Uh, I was saying... um, the weather is quite nice today."

"Embarrassing!" Wei Guanguan looked at Wei Qi with severe disdain.

"Embarrassing!" Shui Ling also joined in the disdain.

Instantly, Wei Qi’s face was flushed red with embarrassment.

Mu Qingge’s eyes held amusement, but when her gaze fell on the five people involved in the wager with her, it turned colder: "Are you here to fulfill your promise, or are you planning to go back on it?"

The five people blushed, feeling as if being roasted by fire.

They stood awkwardly in front of Mu Qingge, not knowing what to do.

After a while, they stammered, "Of course, we will fulfill our promise. Once we’ve learned, we’ll report to the Wei Mansion." Having said that, the five of them turned and left, showing a hint of determination in their retreating backs.

Mu Qingge raised the corners of her mouth and said to the Wei siblings, "Congratulations."

"Thanks to Uncle Mu," Wei Qi cupped his hands in greeting to Mu Qingge.

Whether intentional or not, he insisted on calling ’Uncle Mu’ to annoy Mu Qingge.

Shivering from goosebumps, Mu Qingge turned her eyes to Fu Tianlong.

At this moment, almost everyone on the viewing platform had left.

Even Diao Yuan and Feng Yugui had left at some point.

After a brief eye contact with Mu Qingge, Fu Tianlong finally said in a muffled voice, "Congratulations on your win."

"Thank you." Mu Qingge replied casually.

It seemed as if she didn’t care about the win or lose of the match.

Fu Tianlong pressed his lips and said, "The thing I want to tell you isn’t suitable to say right now. I’ll come to find you tonight."

"Alright." Mu Qingge nodded in agreement.

With that said, the five of them left the arena together, headed to their own treehouses.

But just as they stepped out of the arena, a large group of female disciples from the Medicine Tower quickly surrounded them. They forcefully pushed Wei Guanguan and Shui Ling out, not to mention Wei Qi and Fu Tianlong.

In an instant, Mu Qingge was surrounded layer upon layer by the female disciples.

"Brother Mu, here’s a handkerchief I embroidered for you."

"Brother Mu, here’s a brocade bag I made, with calming medicinal powder inside. Remember to carry it with you."

"Brother Mu, I’m a great cook. What do you like to eat? I’ll make it for you every day and bring it to you."

So cunning!

The girls cursed in their hearts while relentlessly pushing their personal belongings into Mu Qingge’s arms.

Mu Qingge stood dumbfounded, feeling surrounded by a horde of butterflies or a flock of sparrows chirping nonstop around her, her hands soon filled with all sorts of things. The various fragrances emanating from them almost made her dizzy!

"So... so terrifying!" Wei Qi was stunned beyond words.

"What are you all doing?" A majestic female voice suddenly came from behind.

Immediately, the female disciples surrounding Mu Qingge scattered, silently looking toward the elegantly approaching woman.

"Sister Zhu!"

"Sister Zhu."

Zhu Ling’s sudden appearance surprised Mu Qingge. If she remembered correctly, Zhu Ling was also a disciple under Hua Cangzhu, and her status wasn’t low.

Even on the popularity list at the Medicine Tower, she was in the top five and was one of the only two female disciples.

"Sister Zhu." In no time, Zhu Ling had reached Mu Qingge, who had to greet her.

Zhu Ling gave Mu Qingge a charming smile, carrying a bit of haughtiness, and said to the female disciples, "What are you all doing here? Don’t you need to practice alchemy?"

Under Zhu Ling’s intimidation, the female disciples left reluctantly with lingering, wistful glances.

Their unwilling departure dealt another blow to the lovesick guys at the Medicine Tower!

Once the crowd finally dispersed, Zhu Ling’s gaze fell on Mu Qingge’s arms, which were overflowing with gifts. The pile looked like a small mountain.

Zhu Ling chuckled and teased, "Brother Mu, how long do you plan on holding onto those things?"

Mu Qingge’s mouth twitched slightly.

The owners of these things hadn’t gone far, and if she just dropped them, those women might tear her apart. However, holding onto them was indeed awkward.

Just then, Wei Qi was pushed forward by Wei Guanguan: "Mu Ge, my brother will help you hold these things."

"That would be great." Mu Qingge immediately chuckled.

Wei Qi, helpless, had no choice but to walk over begrudgingly and take the pile of women’s stuff from Mu Qingge.

"What’s... what’s this?" Wei Qi held the things and slowly pulled out a silky handkerchief: "This handkerchief is strange, and it has strings attached." Then he sniffed it: "It smells nice."

But as he revealed the full view of the handkerchief, his face stiffened and his cheeks flushed instantly.

Wei Guanguan’s eyes widened, feeling both embarrassed and angry: "You... you pervert, Wei Qi!"

Shui Ling and the others were also shocked, their faces turning as rosy as the dawn.

Zhu Ling and Mu Qingge were equally stunned.

’It’s a dudou!’ Mu Qingge screamed in her heart upon identifying the item, questioning inwardly: ’Who would gift such a private thing? Are they crazy!’

Zhu Ling’s smile became somewhat rigid, but unlike Wei Guanguan and Shui Ling, she wasn’t embarrassed. Instead, she jested with Mu Qingge, "It seems like Brother Mu is quite popular."

Mu Qingge’s mouth contorted: "You’re too kind, Sister Zhu."

The dudou in Wei Qi’s hands felt like a hot potato, one he couldn’t keep but also couldn’t throw. He stood there motionless, casting a pleading look for help toward his sister.

With no other option, Wei Guanguan took the dudou from him with disdain and swiftly tossed it away.

She wanted nothing to do with it!

Zhu Ling smiled without saying much, only asking Mu Qingge, "Does Brother Mu have some time now?"

Mu Qingge thought for a moment and nodded.

Zhu Ling’s smile turned even more enchanting as she invited, "Would Brother Mu care to accompany me for a walk?"

Mu Qingge said to the others, "You all go back first."

Although Wei Guanguan was worried, she still let herself get dragged away by Wei Qi.

Once everyone left, Mu Qingge followed Zhu Ling to a quiet place. It seemed Zhu Ling wasn’t keen on having many people know she was looking for Mu Qingge, hence the secluded spot.

"What does Sister Zhu want with me?" Mu Qingge asked.

Zhu Ling smiled, "Brother Mu is indeed impatient. In that case, I won’t beat around the bush. I want you to do me a small favor."

Mu Qingge raised her eyebrows slightly, waiting for her to continue.

"I want Brother Mu to concoct a Guiyuan Beauty Pill for me. Of course, you don’t need to worry about the medicinal ingredients; I’ll prepare them." Zhu Ling stated her intention.

She considered that asking Mu Qingge might be easier than asking her master or Mei Zizhong.

Mu Qingge was a bit taken aback, as she hadn’t expected Zhu Ling to approach her for this reason.

Refining another Guiyuan Beauty Pill wasn’t a difficult task for her. However, if she agreed readily, what if all the female disciples at the Medicine Tower came to her for the pill in the future?

"Sister Zhu..."

"Rest assured, Brother Mu. No one will hear of my request today. I won’t trouble you in the future, I promise." Zhu Ling seemed to have anticipated Mu Qingge’s concern and interrupted her refusal.
