Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort novel Chapter 870

Chapter 870: Chapter 305: The Divine Tomb Is About to Open! (Three Updates)

"I won’t leave the instructor!" Jing Hai shouted loudly, his eyes filled with excitement. He seemed worried that in the next moment, someone would forcibly take him away from Mu Qingge’s side.

"Child, we don’t mean that," the elder of the Jing family hastily explained. However, his explanation was directed at Jing Hai, not Mu Qingge.

"Hmph." Jing Hai snorted coldly, turning his head away, unwilling to listen.

Mu Qingge raised her hand to stop this meaningless explanation.

Jing Fengyu said to Mu Qingge, "City Lord Mu, you and I are old acquaintances. We truly mean well for Jing Hai, and don’t intend any harm. Why can’t you..."

Mu Qingge interrupted him, saying, "I mentioned before, whether to go to the Jing family or not is entirely up to Jing Hai."

Then, she turned her gaze to the elder of the Jing family and said, "I don’t want any of the things you mentioned. Jing Hai is my only disciple. How I train him is my responsibility, and it has nothing to do with your Jing family. There’s no need for your gratitude either."

Mu Qingge’s words left the elder of the Jing family uncertain of her intentions.

Was she agreeing to let Jing Hai return or not?

However, while he couldn’t quite grasp Mu Qingge’s intentions, he clearly heard one thing. He looked at Jing Hai and gently asked, "Child, don’t you want to return to your family and be with your clan members, or even find out who your father is? I’ve heard from Fengyu that your father left when you were very young. If you come back with us, you will know who your father is."

His words were extremely tempting.

A trace of struggle flashed through Jing Hai’s brows.

For everything else, he might not care. But for information about his father...

However, Mu Qingge remained calm and composed, with a faint smile on her lips, not stopping the elder of the Jing family from speaking.

Jing Hai pressed his lips tightly together, looking at Mu Qingge.

It seemed that he had once again handed the decision back to Mu Qingge. This made the elder of the Jing family a bit troubled. He clearly noticed that this child was already tempted, but at the crucial moment, he gave up the opportunity to decide for himself.

Mu Qingge slightly tilted her head back and smiled at the elder of the Jing family. Her right index finger was entwined with wisps of spiritual energy. Those in the know realized she was nurturing Yuanyuan’s essence, but others would think she was playing with a finger cover.

"Elder Jing, there’s something I’m not sure if I should ask," Mu Qingge suddenly said.

The elder of the Jing family was taken aback and immediately said, "City Lord Mu, please speak your mind."

Mu Qingge nodded almost imperceptibly and said slowly, "Jing Hai is my disciple and my only disciple. By staying with me, he can receive full training. If your Jing family wants him to return only to be treated as an ordinary disciple, I think it’s better for him to remain by my side."

"So City Lord Mu is worried about this!" The elder of the Jing family breathed a sigh of relief, "City Lord Mu can rest assured. Our Jing family has always nurtured talent based on innate abilities. Jing Hai, this child, has awakened his bloodline on his own even when away from the family. His innate ability is astonishing. After he returns with us, he will certainly not be mistreated in the slightest. If City Lord Mu is concerned, I can promise that if this child is wronged or bullied in our Jing family, City Lord Mu can hold me accountable!"

"No." Mu Qingge slowly shook her head, "That’s still not enough."

"Not enough?" The elder of the Jing family’s eyes narrowed slightly, somewhat unclear about Mu Qingge’s meaning.

Mu Qingge crossed her legs, then put them down. Her expression became serious, and her clear gaze met the elder of the Jing family directly, "I also want you to promise that one-third of the Jing family’s cultivation resources will be used on Jing Hai. In addition, I heard that the Jing family selects the Young Master every three years through a selection process, where the winner becomes the Young Master. After three consecutive terms, one can be considered the true Young Master. However, the candidates must be of the direct lineage. I don’t care about that, I want you to agree that Jing Hai can participate in this selection. Lastly, you cannot interfere with Jing Hai’s comings and goings or choices at any time."

"This..." The elder of the Jing family was shocked by Mu Qingge’s words and was unable to respond for a moment.

Even Jing Fengyu appeared troubled, saying, "City Lord Mu, aren’t these conditions a bit too harsh? Though they are for Jing Hai’s sake, the Jing family is a large family with many young members. Not to mention him taking up one-third of the cultivation resources, but making an exception for the selection of the Young Master could cause dissatisfaction and trouble for him. Lastly, if the Jing family indeed spent so much effort nurturing him, but cannot even lightly interfere with his decisions, won’t that put the Jing family in an awkward position?"

His words made the elder of the Jing family nod in deep agreement.

However, Mu Qingge only smiled, "In Luoxing City, Jing Hai has access to all the cultivation resources. Are you saying Luoxing City’s resources can’t match a third of the Jing family’s? The selection qualification is merely an opportunity; whether he becomes the Young Master depends on his abilities. Those who achieve great things can’t crumble at a little gossip or envious instigation. If the other members of the Jing family are not satisfied, they can confront Jing Hai. Win or lose, it’s up to him. As for the last part, I am his mentor and have never bound his choices. The Jing family wants to benefit halfway and expects to tie him down for life? Besides, Jing Hai values relationships and loyalty. If you treat him well, he will naturally have feelings for the Jing family. Ultimately, it all depends on your choices, doesn’t it? How are my conditions harsh? If you find them too stringent, you both can leave now."

Her indifference left the two from the Jing family momentarily embarrassed.

When explained by Mu Qingge, those harsh conditions didn’t seem so hard to accept.

However, this was a significant matter, and they couldn’t decide on their own.

After much deliberation, the elder of the Jing family finally said, "Very well, I can’t make this decision. I can only report to the Family Head after returning, who will make the final decision."

Saying this, he looked at Mu Qingge and asked, "However, I have an impolite request: please consent, City Lord Mu."

"Please speak, Elder." Mu Qingge nodded.

The elder of the Jing family stood up and said, "Let me properly examine this child’s bloodline." The underlying implication of his words was quite clear to Mu Qingge.

To put it plainly, they wanted to first ascertain Jing Hai’s bloodline concentration to decide if he was worth the sizable investment to bring him back to the Jing family.

After all, where in a big family is there such a thing as blood being thicker than water?

If Jing Hai hadn’t awakened his bloodline today, or if he hadn’t inherited the bloodline of a Heavenly Communication Master, no matter how often he appeared before the Jing family, they wouldn’t have given him a second glance or gone to such great lengths to bring him back.

This point was clear to both the elder of the Jing family and Mu Qingge.

Hence, Mu Qingge didn’t stop him and readily agreed.
