Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort novel Chapter 804

Chapter 804: Chapter 239: Qingge, You’re Finally Here! (Three Updates)

"Today is the last day for registration." Suddenly, Shang Zisu glanced at the crowded street outside and said.

Her words made the other three subconsciously look toward the street.

On the street, among the people coming and going, there were quite a few rushing figures; they were all hurrying to the Alchemy Institute to register before the final day ended.

Only by successfully registering could they take part in the following assessment.

If they missed the registration time, they would have to wait another three years.

Mei Zizhong furrowed his brows slightly and said in a low voice, "Qingge was supposed to come with me, but back in Xipu City, something seemed to suddenly happen and she needed to handle it urgently. She told me that if she couldn’t make it back before the registration deadline, I should register for her."

"Yesterday, when you registered, Senior Brother, you already submitted Qingge’s name," Zhu Ling said.

Mei Zizhong gave the barest nod, but there was still worry in his eyes. "Even so, if she is long delayed and doesn’t return. What about tomorrow’s assessment?"

That sentence made the three of them fall silent.

This was indeed a fatal problem.

Someone could register on another’s behalf, but no one could take the assessment for them.

After a moment of silence, Zhao Nanxing raised his eyes and said, "Here’s what we’ll do. When I go back today, I’ll first speak with the master in charge of tomorrow’s assessment and ask him to make an exception. If Qingge still can’t make it before the assessment starts tomorrow, we’ll see if he can bend the rules a little and let her take a make-up assessment when she arrives. Anyway, with Qingge’s abilities, those assessments are nothing but child’s play to her, just a formality."

This plan was actually quite good.

The three of them all nodded in succession.

In these past few years at the Alchemy Institute, Zhao Nanxing had been doing quite well. His talent was already decent to begin with, and coupled with his previous status as a Prince, he looked extremely noble and carried himself with extraordinary bearing. He was also good at socializing and handled people from all sides with ease, so he got along well with many figures in the Alchemy Institute.

The only regret was that Shang Zisu’s attitude toward him was still lukewarm at best.

This left him helpless, yet secretly pleased. At least, aside from him, there was no other man who could make Shang Zisu say a single more word, or show even a single smile.

"I wonder what has entangled Qingge, and whether there’s any danger." Shang Zisu pursed her lips and frowned.

This question made the four of them sink slightly inside, each of them feeling a bit worried.

After a short while, Mei Zizhong said, "I suggested that we go help together, but Qingge refused. The progress she’s made over these years is unimaginable. With her current strength, and the trump cards in her hand, her life should not be in danger."

"Right. Senior Brother Mei, did Qingge ever say where she would meet you if she came?" Zhu Ling asked.

Mei Zizhong frowned and fell silent.

He shook his head slowly. "Neither Qingge nor I have ever been here. At the time, we only said we’d meet at the Alchemy Institute." A faint bitter smile tugged at the corner of his lips. "We didn’t know the Alchemy Institute would be this big."

Just looking for a single person in the outer area alone was practically like searching for a needle in the sea.

"This is also something we failed to think through," Zhao Nanxing said. "Knowing you two were coming, we should have arranged a specific meeting place in advance."

Zhu Ling also said, "Exactly! If Senior Brother Mei hadn’t run into a disciple who knew Senior Brother Zhao outside the Alchemy Institute gates, we probably wouldn’t have been able to meet up at all."

"Let’s not worry too much. With Qingge’s cleverness, she’ll definitely find a way to locate us," Shang Zisu comforted them.

Zhu Ling thought for a moment and suggested, "Why don’t we go wait at the registration area? If Qingge manages to make it back in time, she’ll definitely head to the registration place."

"That’s indeed a good idea." Mei Zizhong’s eyes lit up and he nodded.

His approval made Zhu Ling beam with joy.

Her feelings for Mei Zizhong had never changed. However, she also knew that she had no place in his heart, so she didn’t push nor force anything.

Anyway, just being able to see him, or receiving a few words of his favor, was enough to make her happy for half a day.

"Why make it so troublesome?" A voice suddenly cut into their conversation.

They were all very familiar with this voice.

Especially Mei Zizhong. Almost the moment that voice sounded, he rose from his chair and looked toward the newcomer with a smile.

"Qingge!"

"Qingge!"

"It really is Qingge!"

"You finally came! But how did you find this place?"

The four of them turned to look. That handsome young man in red walking toward them with a smile—who else could it be but Mu Qingge?

Mu Qingge’s sudden appearance truly delighted them.

Within their joy was a trace of pleasant surprise.

The hearts that had been hanging in suspense gradually settled. Mu Qingge had appeared safe and sound, and she hadn’t missed the assessment time.

Mu Qingge walked up to the four of them and, instead of rushing to answer their questions, said to them, "Senior Brother Mei, Senior Brother Zhao, Senior Sister Shang, Senior Sister Zhu, long time no see!"

Aside from Mei Zizhong, it had indeed been almost five years since she’d seen the other three.

Meeting again, they were no longer the inexperienced youths they once were; each of them now carried a bit more maturity between their brows.

The five old friends reunited, and after meeting each other’s gaze, they couldn’t help but share a knowing smile.

Even an ice-beauty like Shang Zisu revealed a faint smile, her beautiful eyes sparkling as she looked at Mu Qingge. That past mistaken affection hadn’t made things awkward between them.

On the contrary, it had added an extra layer of tacit understanding.

"Sit, quickly!" Zhao Nanxing said to Mu Qingge with a smile.

The four of them tacitly gave up a seat for Mu Qingge. After she sat down, Zhao Nanxing poured her a cup of tea and handed it to her.

"Qingge, how did you find us?" Zhu Ling asked with a smile.

Mu Qingge picked up the teacup and took a light sip. After putting the cup down, she finally explained under the four pairs of expectant eyes, "I put Tracking Incense on Senior Brother Mei."
