Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort novel Chapter 825

Chapter 825: Chapter 260: Alchemy Dao Grand Event, Gathering of Heroes (Third Update)

Ji Pianpian smiled sweetly and nodded, saying, "Thank you, Young Master Yao, for your concern. I have already recovered."

"That’s good to hear." Yao Xinghai smiled and nodded.

As the two exchanged pleasantries, Mu Qingge inadvertently noticed the cold aura exuding from Ying Ze and couldn’t help but curl her lips playfully. Ahem, she had to admit that, thanks to Si Mo’s relentless efforts, she finally gained some enlightenment on matters between men and women.

At least, at this moment, she could perceive the subtle displeasure in Ying Ze’s heart.

"Young Master Yao, you’ve come here not just for the sake of hospitality, right?" Ying Ze suddenly said.

His words drew the attention of the other four towards him.

Ji Yaohua blinked inexplicably, somewhat puzzled by what had gotten into Ying Ze. Normally, in such situations, wouldn’t he just sit coolly like an ice block or a log?

Ji Pianpian also looked at him in surprise, and suddenly, a hint of joy appeared in her eyes, which she quickly lowered to hide.

Mu Qingge, on the other hand, showed a look as if she was enjoying the show.

The only one unaware of the reason and unaware of what was wrong with his courteous pleasantries was Yao Xinghai, who simply responded to Ying Ze’s words, "Indeed, I came today for another matter."

Ying Ze pursed his lips, waiting for what he would say next.

At the dining table, there was also a moment of silence.

At this time, Mu Qingge lazily leaned against the chair back, her demeanor leisurely, as if she was an outsider.

Her reaction made Yao Xinghai, who glanced her way, unable to help but smile bitterly.

Clearly, he had initially discussed it with her, but now she showed an expression as if she was washing her hands of the matter, making him feel unwelcomed.

However, regardless, Yao Xinghai still needed to achieve his goal.

He spoke to Ji Yaohua and Ying Ze, "In over four years, the Divine Tomb will emerge, and this news has already spread from the Divine Hall to various Ancient Clans. Both young masters are likely aware of this, right?"

Ji Yaohua nodded with a smile, while Ying Ze remained silent.

In fact, both of them, along with Mu Qingge, had known about this matter much earlier.

According to Ji Yaohua, it was because Xi the Goddess was one of their own.

Yao Xinghai paused, then said, "I hope to form a team with everyone to explore the Divine Tomb together."

He revealed his purpose, but the room remained silent.

Ying Ze pursed his lips in silence, while Ji Yaohua leaned over the table edge, hands propped on the table, playfully fiddling with an empty teacup, saying, "Young Master Yao, I’m not trying to make things difficult for you. As you know, the Divine Tomb is filled with peril, and what kind of people or events we may encounter is something no one can predict. Young Master Yao seeks to join us, naturally attracted by our strength, but why should we agree?"

His words sounded somewhat infuriating.

But, indeed, they were true.

This kind of training can’t simply involve bringing along someone irrelevant due to a personal connection.

Ji Yaohua continued, "In terms of strength and combat power, we, apart from having the top of the Green Talent List, also have me, the third." He then pointed to Ying Ze, "Look, there’s also the fifth."

"If it’s about alchemy, you’re very skilled. However, Qingge is no slouch either! Otherwise, you wouldn’t want to compete with her in Dan Fighting at the Alchemy Conference. In terms of wisdom and strategy, commanding talent, our Qingge is no less than anyone. So, what would your presence add to our team?" Ji Yaohua cheerfully finished his words, but they left little to reply to.

Yao Xinghai, the distinguished first disciple of the Alchemy Institute and fourth on the Green Talent List, was reduced to someone insignificant by Ji Yaohua’s words. If he were more prideful, he might have left in anger by now.

Fortunately, Yao Xinghai, being an Alchemist, maintained a temper of pride yet also valued calmness and harmony. Moreover, he held the expedition to the Divine Tomb in high regard, having carefully calculated and deliberated before deciding to partner with Mu Qingge. Hence, he wouldn’t be deterred by Ji Yaohua’s few words.

So, after Ji Yaohua finished speaking, Yao Xinghai thought for a moment and said with a smile, "After hearing what Young Master Ji said, I almost feel insignificant."

His words caused Ji Yaohua’s eyes to turn mischievous.

"However," Yao Xinghai paused, "Sometimes, some seemingly insignificant forces can have immense value at crucial moments. For you, my presence may seem superfluous, but if you encounter danger, could it be that what you’re missing is just my slight strength? Conversely, if I join another team, won’t that have an impact on you? Instead of pushing me to another camp and increasing your competitive difficulty, why not keep me by your side for peace of mind?"

Ji Yaohua was left speechless, glancing at Mu Qingge as if asking, ’Isn’t his face too thick?’

Mu Qingge found it amusing, transmitting his thoughts: ’Now you see his resourcefulness.’

Ji Yaohua silently nodded.

Yet, he swiftly collected himself, straightening his posture as he addressed Yao Xinghai, "If you put it that way, I won’t argue with you. But if you want to join our team, what can you offer?"

What can he offer?

They had no rapport, naturally they could only discuss benefits.

If neither was present, Yao Xinghai might instead worry about their intentions by bringing him along.

Therefore, when Ji Yaohua posed the question, Yao Xinghai thought it through carefully before responding, "Regarding elixirs, I’ll take on half the responsibility. In addition, during our actions, I’ll share all the firsthand information I possess. Should we encounter other teams, I will naturally fight alongside you."

"And one more thing!" Ji Yaohua added.

Yao Xinghai raised an eyebrow, "Please, go ahead."

Ji Yaohua clenched his fists, leaning on the table edge as he stood, his gaze fierce upon Yao Xinghai, and said slowly, "That is, no matter what happens, everyone must follow Qingge’s lead! Never make decisions on your own or keep ulterior motives to yourself!"

"Agreed! It’s a deal!" Yao Xinghai also stood up and responded earnestly.

Seeing him readily agree with candor, Ji Yaohua returned to his playful persona, "That’s more like it!"

"I have a suggestion." Suddenly, Yao Xinghai spoke.

"What is it?" Ji Yaohua sat down and looked at him.

Yao Xinghai replied, "To cultivate a sense of camaraderie among us, I suggest finding a trial ground where we can train and bond before entering the Divine Tomb. The Divine Demon Ancient Battlefield is a good choice."

But, just as he finished speaking, he noticed the three faces of Mu Qingge, Ji Yaohua, and Ying Ze, besides Ji Pianpian, showed strange expressions.

"No need." It was Ying Ze who said those words.

His refusal made Yao Xinghai furrow his brow slightly.

Then, Ji Yaohua casually remarked, "Indeed, there’s no need for that."

Their reactions left Yao Xinghai confused, ultimately leading him to look towards Mu Qingge.
