Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort novel Chapter 640

Chapter 640: Chapter 75: Deny If You Wish—What Can You Do About It?

Returning to the Sang Family, Mu Qingge only brought Mu Chen and Mu Peng.

King Sang Shun received them once again.

The bloody scene from the previous day left a deep impression on many guards and servants of the Sang Family towards Mu Qingge. They couldn’t understand why Mu Chen and Mu Peng were with the person who killed their Young Master.

It seemed like they even held her in high regard!

"Family Head Sang, I came this time to apologize for yesterday’s matter," Mu Qingge said to King Sang Shun, lowering her eyes to look in the direction where Mu Chen stood.

Understanding her intent, Mu Chen immediately stepped forward and bowed to King Sang Shun to apologize, "Family Head Sang, yesterday’s incident disturbed the Sang Family. It was entirely my fault, I hope the Family Head will not blame us."

After finishing, he presented some Spirit Stones and treasures, placing them in front of him, and added, "This is a small token of apology. I hope the Family Head will accept it."

After he spoke, Mu Peng stepped forward and said to King Sang Shun, "Yesterday, I accidentally hurt Miss Xuewu’s mother. I also came to apologize to the Family Head."

King Sang Shun quietly observed the two, and after they finished speaking, his gaze landed on Mu Qingge who remained indifferent.

A moment later, he said, "Forget it, let’s put yesterday’s matter behind us."

"Thank you, Family Head Sang."

"Thank you, Family Head Sang."

Mu Chen and Mu Peng both sighed in relief, stepping back behind Mu Qingge.

They all looked at Mu Qingge, thinking she asked them to apologize because she didn’t want to become enemies with the Sang Family, in line with Mu Luofeng’s thoughts of wanting to marry Sang Xuewu.

Little did they expect that after stepping back, Mu Qingge slightly nodded and calmly said, "Since yesterday’s grievances have been clarified, I would like to discuss another matter with the Family Head. It is said that Mu Liancheng has been staying at your mansion for several years. I have come today to take him away."

Mu Liancheng?!

Who is Mu Liancheng?

Both Mu Chen and Mu Peng felt inexplicably puzzled.

However, the surname Mu stirred their suspicions, and they cast doubtful glances toward King Sang Shun. ’Could it be that the Sang Family secretly imprisoned someone from the Mu Family?’

The most crucial aspect was Mu Qingge’s attitude. She wasn’t here for Sang Xuewu, but rather for Mu Liancheng, indicating this person was extremely important to her!

Though they didn’t understand who Mu Liancheng was, it didn’t prevent Mu Chen and Mu Peng from defending Mu Qingge.

Mu Chen slightly furrowed his brow, his tone not as apologetic as before. "The Sang Family has hidden someone from my Mu Clan?"

King Sang Shun glanced at him casually, then turned to Mu Qingge and said in a deep voice, "Is that how you speak of your father? Or how you speak to your grandfather?"

What!

Father?

Grandfather?

!

Mu Chen and Mu Peng were flustered!

They couldn’t figure out what the relationship between Mu Qingge and the Sang Family was.

Facing King Sang Shun’s questioning, Mu Qingge remained calm, without any unusual emotion. She had already guessed her identity would be revealed before coming. Moreover, after yesterday’s incident?

So, King Sang Shun’s words today did not surprise her. She merely turned her gaze to him slowly, her lips slightly curved, "Family Head Sang, please choose your words carefully. I grew up with my grandfather and aunt, and I don’t know who my grandfather is."

King Sang Shun’s profound and bright eyes looked at her, revealing a hint of disappointment. He sighed, "I don’t blame you; you have grievances in your heart, and that’s understandable."

"Grievances?" The smile on Mu Qingge’s lips became more apparent, carrying a hint of sarcasm. "Family Head Sang overthinks. I only came to take back Mu Liancheng. I promise that once I take him away, I won’t come to the Sang Family again, nor will I disturb the peace of anyone in the Sang Family."

"Why must you be like this? Do you know how sad your mother was when you left yesterday?" King Sang Shun’s tone grew heavier.

Mu Qingge remained indifferent, "Family Head Sang jokes again. I have no impression of my mother, like strangers, why would there be sadness?"

"Still sulking." King Sang Shun concluded.

Mu Qingge laughed coldly, no longer explaining.

No matter how much she explained, he would still think she was just venting years of inner grievances—thinking she would, after venting, stage a touching mother-daughter reunion, and grandparents reunion?

That would be wrong! She was speaking the truth.

Her real purpose was solely for Mu Liancheng. Sang Lanruo couldn’t revive him, she could, so there was no need to keep him at the Sang Family.

Moreover, she truly didn’t know who her grandfather was and didn’t wish to be associated with the Sang Family.

Yet, King Sang Shun wouldn’t believe it.

The conversation between the two made Mu Chen and Mu Peng more perplexed about their relationship.

They knew Mu Qingge’s origins well; she came from the Linchuan Realm. Since she came from the Linchuan Realm, why would she have any connection with the Sang Family?

"Young Master." Mu Chen lowered his eyes and called out to Mu Qingge.

Mu Qingge slowly lowered her eyes and said to Mu Chen, "You don’t need to intervene." This was her personal matter. Bringing them along was because of their abilities, preventing her from being constrained when dealing with the Sang Family.

Her words left Mu Chen and Mu Peng silent.

In their hearts, Mu Qingge was not Mu Luofeng, she didn’t need to fight for everything or solve everything for him. Mu Qingge could handle everything well herself; only when she needed help, they would act.

King Sang Shun fell silent, seeing the undisguised disdain in Mu Qingge’s eyes.

She wasn’t trying to play hard to get; she truly disdained the Sang Family, genuinely not wanting to have any involvement with them.

The main hall plunged into an eerie silence.

Mu Qingge stood up, breaking the silence, "If the Family Head cannot make a decision, please go and consult with someone who can. I’ll return in three days to take him. Besides, please tell her that since Mu Liancheng has stayed beside her for over a decade without waking up, it means she lacks the ability. She cannot do it, but I can!"

After speaking, Mu Qingge intended to leave.

"Wait." King Sang Shun suddenly called out, stopping her.

Mu Qingge turned and looked at him, her eyebrows slightly raised.

King Sang Shun gazed at her, their eyes meeting in mid-air, sparks flying between them. Suddenly, he laughed loudly.

The laughter came inexplicably, making Mu Chen and Mu Peng secretly wary.

Yet, in the depths of Mu Qingge’s clear eyes flashed a gleam of thoughtful light.

After laughing, King Sang Shun looked at Mu Qingge with determined eyes, "Compared to your siblings, you are much more interesting. You won’t acknowledge me as your grandfather either, but I won’t pass messages for others. Whatever you want to say to her, go and say it yourself."

Mu Qingge gave no reaction to his self-proclaimed ’grandfather’.

One might say the word ’grandfather’ was like a breeze passing by, not entering her ears, leaving no trace in her heart.

However, she understood the meaning behind his words.

He wanted her to see Sang Lanruo!

Should she meet her?

Yesterday she already saw her, but she didn’t even give this so-called mother a proper look.

Not meeting?

If she wasn’t going to meet, then why bother coming to the Sang Family?

"Please, Sang Family Head, inform me of the location." Instantly, Mu Qingge made up her mind.

"I’ll personally take you there." Unexpectedly, King Sang Shun stood up from his position as Family Head and offered.

His gesture made Mu Qingge frown slightly, unable to guess what he was trying to do. Why so enthusiastic?

"Young Master, you mustn’t!" Mu Chen stepped forward to stop them. He stood in front of Mu Qingge, blocking her from following King Sang Shun. Mu Peng also stepped forward, guarding Mu Qingge’s other side, with vigilance in his eyes.

They couldn’t figure out what relationship Mu Qingge had with the Sang Family.

But from Mu Qingge’s attitude, they could guess that she didn’t have a good impression of the Sang Family and harbored some unresolved grievances. If that were the case, they couldn’t let her take any risks.

Mu Qingge looked at the two of them but said nothing.

King Sang Shun looked over, his face slightly dark as he said to the two of them, "What? Are you afraid that I would harm my own granddaughter?"

Although Mu Chen and Mu Peng were shocked, they still looked at Mu Qingge, awaiting her decision.

Mu Qingge remained silent.

Mu Chen hurriedly said, "Young Master..." He shook his head almost imperceptibly, wanting to tell Mu Qingge not to go with King Sang Shun easily. At the very least, to take them along.

Their concern was evident to Mu Qingge.

Her clear gaze moved from Mu Chen and Mu Peng to King Sang Shun. After a while, she raised her hand and pushed down the hand that Mu Chen had placed in front of her.

She instructed the two, "Wait for me here."

"Young Master!"

"Young Master!"

Mu Chen and Mu Peng both felt it was inappropriate.

But Mu Qingge’s decisions were never to be easily changed. She merely comforted the two with a sentence: "If the Sang Family Head wanted to harm anyone, there would be no need for such effort. This is the Sang Family, and with a single rally from him, the three of us would have a hard time leaving."

Her words made sense, and Mu Chen and Mu Peng finally conceded.

"Young Master, be careful. If anything’s amiss, cry out, and we’ll be there in an instant!" Mu Chen urged Mu Qingge.

Mu Qingge nodded lightly.

In actuality, if there was any real danger, she’d just hide in her space and be perfectly safe.

Mu Chen and Mu Peng finally stepped aside.

Mu Qingge walked up to King Sang Shun and said, "Sang Family Head, lead the way."

King Sang Shun’s gaze swept over the three of them, then nodded almost imperceptibly, leading Mu Qingge out of the main hall and toward the courtyard where Sang Lanruo resided.

On the way, many from the Sang Family curiously observed Mu Qingge behind King Sang Shun.

Yet, under these curious glances, Mu Qingge maintained a calm demeanor without a hint of unease or anxiety. This drew a nod of approval from the observing King Sang Shun.

"What’s your relationship with those two? You were adversaries yesterday, but today they’re so loyal to you?" King Sang Shun couldn’t understand; yesterday she had killed their Young Master, that thing named Mu Luofeng, right in front of them. How come today, they’ve fallen under his granddaughter’s command?

Moreover, he didn’t forget that from the moment his granddaughter appeared yesterday, those two were exceptionally respectful.

"Isn’t the Sang Family Head interfering a bit too much?" However, his question wasn’t met with a satisfactory answer. Mu Qingge only retorted sarcastically.

King Sang Shun widened his eyes, then returned to normal.

He slowly shook his head, as if with a touch of admiration, and said, "Your character is quite like your mother’s."

Mu Qingge remained silent, not wanting to argue with him on this topic.

Her character like Sang Lanruo’s? Please, she’s not truly Mu Qingge. Her character has been like this since her previous life—she resembles herself!

After a while, King Sang Shun added, "Yesterday, I asked your mother if you had inherited the Sang Family’s bloodline, and her answer was no."

As he said this, he kept a close watch on Mu Qingge’s expression, seemingly searching for any hint of change.

However, Mu Qingge showed no change at all, as if she hadn’t heard that remark.

This reaction puzzled King Sang Shun, causing him to frown.

Meanwhile, Mu Qingge pondered in her heart why Sang Lanruo would lie.

Bloodlines are something one is born with. The previous Mu Qingge was a waste unable to cultivate, that’s one thing. But the bloodline shouldn’t be nonexistent.

Since this is the case, was Sang Lanruo truly unaware before leaving? Or did she lie to King Sang Shun?

However, if she didn’t know, she could just tell King Sang Shun she was unaware and not answer ’no.’ Such an answer can only come after confirmation.

No matter what Sang Lanruo’s intentions are, her answer to King Sang Shun spared Mu Qingge some trouble.

"It’s a pity that out of you three siblings, only Xuewu inherited the Sang Family bloodline." King Sang Shun continued probing with his eyes on her.

Mu Qingge caught the probing intent in his words and sneered inwardly.

Did he really think she was young and impetuous? That she’d be so upset about falling short and eager to argue that she had inherited the bloodline?

With mockery in her clear eyes, she looked at King Sang Shun and said, "I’m a member of the Mu Family; naturally, I’ve inherited the Mu Family bloodline."

In her words, she took pride in the Mu Family bloodline and saw no regret in not having the Sang Family bloodline.

Her response made King Sang Shun’s eyes flicker, thoughtful.

His probing never ceased, and even that earlier question was not entirely to test whether she possessed the Sang Family bloodline; part of it was to gauge her temperament.

If she couldn’t withstand verbal provocation, eager to explain herself, his impression of his granddaughter would greatly diminish.

"Perhaps it wasn’t apparent when you were young, so how about I conduct a test for you?" King Sang Shun offered further.

But Mu Qingge’s gaze turned playful as she replied, "Sang Family Head, aren’t you mistaken? I’ve come to pick someone up, not to undergo any bloodline assessment."

She refused!

Her indifference and rejection led King Sang Shun to increasingly suspect that Mu Qingge might have inherited the Sang Family bloodline, possibly even richer than Sang Xuewu’s.

King Sang Shun’s doubts were clear as day to Mu Qingge.

Yet she remained indifferent.

Just because she wasn’t willing, did King Sang Shun think he could force her to undergo bloodline verification? Even if he discovered she had the Sang Family artifact refiner bloodline, so what?

She didn’t want to stay in the Sang Family or have any ties with them; could King Sang Shun stop her?

After probing all the way, they finally reached the remote courtyard where Sang Lanruo lived.

This place seemed like a completely different world from the Sang Family’s main residence, serene and secluded, even somewhat desolate.

Moreover, upon approaching, a chill was felt in the air, deterring any closeness.

Due to Yuanyuan, Mu Qingge was highly sensitive to temperature. Long before reaching the courtyard, she sensed the surrounding temperature drop.
