Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort novel Chapter 591

Chapter 591: Chapter 26: This Is a Win-Win Game!

"I have come here to capture the assassin who tried to kill me. Since you are all in league with her, you will all come back with me! Sheng Yuli, I advise you to mind your own business!"

Jiang Tianyi’s gaze locked onto Qin Yiyao, his expression twisted and eyes filled with greed.

He was full of confidence, as if he had already predicted the outcome.

Sheng Yuli’s gaze darkened, and his peripheral vision discreetly glanced at Qin Yiyao standing behind Mu Qingge.

Seeing her calm expression, with a hint of coldness and no trace of panic, unlike any other woman, he felt more certain of her extraordinary nature.

Little did he know, as Qin Yiyao stood behind Mu Qingge, even if the sky were to fall, she would feel no fear at all.

The goodwill in his heart, added to Qin Yiyao’s assistance to Sheng Susu, had already led Sheng Yuli to a decision.

He stepped forward and said to Jiang Tianyi, "Jiang Tianyi, your skill of talking nonsense is getting better! She was locked in the black market, when did she ever injure you?"

Jiang Tianyi sneered, "Who injured me, I do not know, do you as Young Master of the Sheng Family know better? Sheng Yuli, my brother is almost here, if you don’t want to get hurt before the ranking match, you’d better take your people and leave! Oh, and leave that masked girl too!"

"In your dreams!" Sheng Yuli said harshly.

He would never leave Sheng Susu behind, nor allow Jiang Tianyi, this profligate son, to have any designs on her!

"It seems you have chosen the hard way." Jiang Tianyi sneered and took two steps back.

With those two steps, the Jiang Family’s people bristled with murderous intent, and a great battle was about to break out.

"Young Master, they are too many, we are no match for them!" A member of the Sheng Family approached Sheng Yuli and whispered. His voice carried a hint of unease.

Sheng Yuli glanced at the Jiang Family members approaching them gradually, feeling somewhat heavy-hearted.

The five families of Yu Shui City could balance each other for so long because their strength was relatively equal. If Sheng Yuli had hundreds of men with him, he wouldn’t fear Jiang Tianyi at all.

But the problem was, he didn’t have that now, so he had to be cautious.

Jiang Tianyi was a madman who acted on whim alone, considering nothing else and never thinking about consequences. The Jiang and Sheng Families were rivals, why would the Jiang Family care about giving face to the Sheng Family?

This battle, one could say, left Sheng Yuli with no confidence at all.

Frowning slightly, Sheng Yuli’s gaze inadvertently swept over Mu Qingge. That glance left him stunned. He noticed that the unfamiliar Mu Qingge, in such a setting, wasn’t nervous at all; her expression remained calm as if Jiang Tianyi and the Jiang Family people weren’t standing in front of her.

"Send the signal, have them come over quickly." Sheng Yuli hid his inner surprise and instructed his people cautiously.

He referred to ’them’ as the Sheng Family members positioned nearby for the rescue of Sheng Susu. Outside the dead forest was no longer black market territory, so the Sheng Family soldiers waited it out there.

Sheng Yuli had a simple plan; as long as both sides had balanced numbers, an engagement before the ranking match would unlikely happen.

However, it would take time for the Sheng Family to arrive. How would they delay that time?

The Sheng Family’s signal was abruptly sent out, exploding a ’white flower’ in the night sky.

The sight of everyone except for the Sheng Family was drawn to the sky.

Jiang Tianyi withdrew his gaze, squinting at Sheng Yuli, "You actually sent a signal? Sheng Yuli, that means you refuse to leave!"

Sheng Yuli snorted disdainfully, "Jiang Tianyi, do you think as a mere profligate son, you can accomplish anything?"

"I can twist off your head before your people arrive!" Jiang Tianyi’s gaze was fierce, his expression savage.

He waved his hand, and a hundred Jiang Family members swarmed forward, launching into battle.

Mu Qingge stood silently, listening to the exchange between Sheng Yuli and Jiang Tianyi. Seeing the Jiang Family’s movement, her figure flickered and disappeared on the spot.

She moved so swiftly that no one present could capture her form.

"Stop...stop!" Suddenly, a terrified voice squeezed out from a throat, interrupting the imminent battle.

The Jiang Family people, about to raise their weapons, were halted by this shout. As they turned their heads, the scene before them made their eyes shrink.

Not only them, but Sheng Yuli and his people also had shock written in their eyes.

Next to Jiang Tianyi stood an absolutely beautiful man in red.

She had her left hand behind her back, standing straight as a sharp sword. Her right hand raised, and the sharp finger cover on her index finger was pressed against Jiang Tianyi’s neck vessel.

With just a bit of force, she could easily pierce his skin, cut his artery, and let him watch his blood drain until he died.

"You... don’t mess around." At this moment, Jiang Tianyi was no longer arrogant, his face pale, devoid of blood, his body a cold shiver. He had never felt death so close; the cold, sharp finger cover was like a death talon, clutching his lifeblood.

Too fast! Too fast!

Jiang Tianyi was deeply shocked.

Although his cultivation was mediocre, he still couldn’t be easily approached by just anyone. However, this person managed to break through the Jiang Family’s barricade in a flash, appear beside him, and immobilized him effortlessly.

Now, with his life in someone else’s hands, he could only shed his usual arrogance.

The situation changed so quickly, too fast for people to process.

Collectively stunned for a moment, soon the crowd accepted the reality before them.

Swoosh——!

The Jiang Family quickly reacted, turning their weapons to point at Jiang Tianyi... no, to be precise, to point at Mu Qingge beside Jiang Tianyi.

Yet, Mu Qingge’s expression was cold, her eyes calm, utterly unbothered by the weapons pointed at her.

She merely slightly shifted her right index finger, letting the sharp end make even closer contact with Jiang Tianyi’s skin.

"Put... put down! All of you put down your weapons!" Jiang Tianyi shouted in terror.

He feared Mu Qingge might just give a tremble, and his little life would be over.

Then what enjoyment of beauty and carefree days would there be to talk about?

Jiang Tianyi’s legs started to tremble, something never experienced before. Yet today, he understood what fear truly meant.

The previous assassination by Qin Yiyao injured him unexpectedly, but didn’t make him feel fear. Now, although uninjured, having his life clinched in someone’s grasp terrified him.

The Jiang Family, hearing their master’s command, had no choice but to lower their weapons, warily eyeing Mu Qingge.

Jiang Tianyi, seeing this, mustered the courage to say, "What... what do you want? I tell you, I am the Jiang Family’s Second Young Master. If you harm me, don’t think you can leave Yu Shui City!"

Though he compromised, he couldn’t resist issuing a warning.

Mu Qingge curved her lips into a cold smile and said to him, "Don’t worry, I don’t feel like leaving Yu Shui City for now. Have your people leave."

"No way!" Jiang Tianyi shouted alarmed.

When Mu Qingge’s cold gaze swept over, he stammered, "If they leave, in case you you..." He didn’t need to finish for others to know what he feared.

Mu Qingge’s disdain grew, and she raised an eyebrow, "Do you think, with them here, you are safe?" Saying this, she applied a bit more force with her index finger, letting the finger cover’s sharpness pierce Jiang Tianyi’s skin, a drop of blood oozing out.

The pain on his neck startled Jiang Tianyi, "No! No! No! I’ll have them leave, they’ll leave now!"

After speaking, he cursed the Jiang Family members, "You bunch of trash, still standing around here? Want to collect my corpse? Get lost now!"

The Jiang Family samurai hesitated, unwilling to leave easily, yet they had to.

Otherwise, if this young master suffered any mishap, they would all be buried with him!

"Scram, scram, scram——!" Jiang Tianyi cursed desperately, his eyes signaling his subordinates to leave and seek his approaching elder brother for rescue.

The Jiang Family samurai slowly retreated, withdrawing outside.

Several attempts to ambush for rescue were deterred by Mu Qingge’s mocking gaze, leaving them unable to act recklessly.

These hidden dangers sent a chill down Jiang Tianyi’s heart, urging anxiously, "All of you, get lost! Useless fools!" In his eyes, it was their incompetence that led him into this predicament.

At Jiang Tianyi’s shout, the Jiang Family samurai could only swiftly retreat.

They surrendered without a fight, helplessly, with their master in the enemy’s hands, any reckless move was out of the question.

The Jiang Family quickly retreated from the dead forest’s perimeter.

At this time, a surge of footsteps approached.

Mu Qingge raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Sheng Yuli.

Sheng Yuli listened carefully and immediately recognized the person. A relieved smile appeared on his face, and immediately, a group of people appeared before him.

"Young Master!"

"Young Master—!"

This group also numbered around a hundred people, and they addressed Sheng Yuli as such.

The people of the Sheng Family have arrived!

Jiang Tianyi saw this scene, and his heart filled with even more hatred, but he was powerless.

At this moment, he only hoped to keep himself alive. The rest could be dealt with in the future.

"Now that you’re safe, can you let me go?" Jiang Tianyi carefully concealed his hatred and spoke to Mu Qingge. He tried to lower his tone not to provoke Mu Qingge.

Mu Qingge laughed and said, "Why rush?"

Jiang Tianyi’s face changed suddenly, and he exclaimed in terror, "Are you going back on your word?"

Mu Qingge nonchalantly smiled, and just as Sheng Yuli thought Mu Qingge was about to kill Jiang Tianyi and was preparing to intervene, she suddenly infused her voice with spiritual power and shouted loudly, "Young Master Jiang, if you don’t want your brother to meet his doom here, take everyone and leave this place, return to the Jiang Family. As for your brother’s safety, you needn’t worry. Later, I will ask the Sheng Family to escort him home."

Her voice spread like ripples, causing the grass leaves on the ground to sway lightly.

Mu Qingge’s voice reached the ears of a man riding a mighty spirit beast several miles away. His features were as though carved with knives, handsome and well-defined.

Beneath his sword-like eyebrows, his starry eyes glinted coldly.

Around him, people stood in rows. Some were members of the Jiang Family who had retreated from the withered forest.

They retreated to this area and met the Young Master. Before they could finish explaining what had happened, this lazy and arrogant voice reached them.

Jiang Tianhao frowned slightly, his rhomboid lips pressed into a line.

In Yu Shui City, there was no one who dared threaten him like this.

If someone dared to speak like this in the past, they would have been torn to pieces long ago. But now, with his brother captured, he could only act passively.

Jiang Tianyi’s life could be discarded, but not at this moment!

The ranking competition was imminent. If the Jiang Family’s second son were to die now, it would be a fatal blow to the Jiang Family’s reputation!

"Who are you, and why should I trust you?" Jiang Tianhao spoke slowly, his voice filled with significant spiritual power, echoing back, seemingly challenging Mu Qingge secretly.

His voice resonated back, and the two exchanges of words caused those with low cultivation to feel their blood and vital energy surging.

’Brother actually came!’ Jiang Tianyi’s eyes flashed with astonishment.

He thought his brother couldn’t make it in time, but now that he had, Jiang Tianyi was still held captive, preventing his brother from acting rashly. At this moment, Jiang Tianyi truly felt a panic.

He feared that Jiang Tianhao might disregard his safety and order a strong assault.

In his memory, this brother of his had never been one to succumb to threats.

Mu Qingge heard Jiang Tianhao’s words, her lips curved slightly, and she responded, "You may choose not to trust me, but Young Master Sheng has witnessed everything. If you insist on meeting, should anything happen to the second son of the Jiang Family, it won’t be my fault."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Tianyi’s face turned pale.

He seemed to envision himself missing an arm, a leg. Although he enjoyed playing such games, it didn’t mean he liked such games played on his own body.

"Don’t kill me! I’ll go with you." Jiang Tianyi hurriedly replied.

He would rather leave with Mu Qingge and the others now, as long as they kept their promise to return him, than be used as a bargaining chip at this moment. If that brother of his got agitated, he would be the one to suffer.

Mu Qingge gave him a disdainful look, the corner of her mouth rising in scorn.

The people of the Sheng Family and others reacted similarly to Jiang Tianyi’s response.

Mu Qingge’s voice traveled back.

Jiang Tianhao’s gaze grew colder, and he remained silent for a moment.

Eventually, he raised his hand, and the Jiang Family members retreated backward. The spirit beast he rode on also paced backward slowly, gradually departing.

"If you dare deceive me, I will hunt you down to the ends of the earth," Jiang Tianhao left a parting threat as he departed.

In this statement, he was less concerned about whether Jiang Tianyi was harmed and more about whether Mu Qingge was deceiving him!

Mu Qingge smiled nonchalantly, sealing a strand of spiritual energy within Jiang Tianyi, preventing his own spiritual energy from flowing. Then, she grabbed Jiang Tianyi by his collar and flung him. Shrieking, he soared into the air, falling toward Mo Yang.

Mo Yang’s eyes flickered as he stood up to catch Jiang Tianyi, then tossed him towards the Dragon Tooth Guards behind.

"Behave yourself!" The Dragon Tooth Guards efficiently restrained Jiang Tianyi, swiftly binding his hands behind his back using the method Mu Qingge taught them.

Qin Yiyao turned her gaze to him, her eyes cold, then she withdrew her gaze calmly.

Jiang Tianyi saw Qin Yiyao’s gaze, but being captured now, despite the hatred in his heart, he could only bear it for now.

Mu Qingge walked back leisurely, and Sheng Yuli immediately stepped forward to ask, "Master Mu, this is..."

However, Mu Qingge just smiled at him and stated her request, "Young Master Sheng, if possible, I would like to meet the head of the Sheng Family tonight."

This was her second time requesting to meet someone from the Sheng Family.

Sheng Yuli was taken aback, and under Mu Qingge’s gaze, he couldn’t help but nod.

...

A battle that was about to unfold abruptly came to a halt. However, this did not signal the end of the matter, but rather the brewing storm on the horizon.

The Sheng Family, one of the five great families of Yu Shui City.

From the outside world’s view, the Sheng Family was considered decent.

Actually, for Mu Qingge, as long as it wasn’t the Le Family, working with anyone else would be the same. By chance, the Sheng Family just happened to be the first she encountered.

She no longer planned to linger here. She would quickly resolve the situation with the Le Family and then proceed with her next plans.

As for Qin Yiyao...

Mu Qingge’s gaze flickered slightly.

Once everything was settled, she would have a proper conversation with her.

Following Sheng Yuli to the Sheng Family, they entered the fortress-like Sheng Family. The location of a family in the Middle Ancient Realm was like a city within a city, tightly guarded like a fortress. The differences lay in the strength and territorial size of the families.

Like the Sheng Family, if compared to the Li Family, the Dou Family, and the Bai Family of Haiyu City, they probably would not even measure up to half.

The deeper Mu Qingge delved into the Middle Ancient Realm, the more she realized the gap between the remote Haiyu City and other cities, as well as the disparity between the Linchuan Realm and the Middle Ancient Realm.

Upon reaching the Sheng Family gates, Mu Qingge said to Sheng Yuli, "Young Master Sheng, please have two people escort the second son of the Jiang Family back." To her, Jiang Tianyi was insignificant. She hadn’t intended for Qin Yiyao to kill Jiang Tianyi, at least not now.

The moment Jiang Tianyi heard he was to be released, his eyes lit up instantly.

Mu Qingge turned to him and smiled, "Second Son Jiang, you were the one who provoked me this time. If I can catch you once, I can catch you a second time. I don’t care what she did to you before, but now she’s with me. If you dare touch her again, be prepared for my retaliation."

’She’s with me...’

Long ago, it seemed, similar words had been spoken by him publicly.

Mu Qingge’s words brought a hint of reminiscence to Qin Yiyao’s eyes. Memories long sealed away surfaced in her mind. Hearing such words again, she realized her heart, which she thought was dead, was stirring once more.

Qin Yiyao’s eyes showed a trace of sorrow and helplessness.

This person always had a way to easily stir her heartstrings and disrupt her peace.

Looking up, Qin Yiyao’s eyes were filled with a gentle hue as she gazed tenderly at Mu Qingge’s profile.

Jiang Tianyi nodded repeatedly at Mu Qingge’s words.

Having just escaped the brink of death, he no longer cared about being previously attacked. Once back at the Jiang Family and after calming down, he would naturally seek to reclaim the day.
