On the second day, Mu Qingge returned to Tianping City from Yu Yan Mountain. She had planned to arrange everything and then head to the Divine Demon Ancient Battlefield as per Hou’s suggestion. However, an unexpected visitor disrupted her schedule.
"Why are you here?" Mu Qingge stared in surprise at Ji Yaohua, who appeared before her.
As soon as Ji Yaohua saw Mu Qingge, she jumped up from her chair and pointed at her, scolding, "Wow! You, Mu Qingge, ca to the Northern Continent without notifying , making go all the way to Luoxing City to find you! I went in a circle and ended up at my own doorstep."
Mu Qingge’s mouth twitched as she asked, "Why are you looking for ? Didn’t soone send your fan to you?"
"You have the nerve to say that. Such a valuable thing, you should have inford to fetch it personally! You just let Dragon Teeth deliver it. I was so frightened, I couldn’t sleep for days and nights, fearing so clueless person would rob it halfway," Ji Yaohua patted her chest with lingering fear.
Mu Qingge shook her head helplessly, "Nobody knows about this matter, who would rob it? Are you overthinking it?"
Ji Yaohua was driven crazy by her indifferent attitude but couldn’t scold her, so she switched topics, "Since you’re already in the Northern Continent, you must co ho with ."
"Why should I go to your house?" Mu Qingge looked at him puzzled.
Ji Yaohua leaned closer, giving a mysterious smile, "I’m inviting you because there’s sothing good for you."
"Not interested." Mu Qingge shook her head unmoved.
If Ji Yaohua ntioned sothing good, it certainly wasn’t sothing good!
Ji Yaohua laughed, "Don’t be so quick to refuse, it’s really good. Ying Ze will also be there, and we haven’t gathered in a long ti, so let’s take this opportunity to have a good gathering."
Saying that, he waved his hand, and a fan appeared in his hand.
Seeing the fan, Mu Qingge raised an eyebrow. This fan was the one she crafted for Ji Yaohua. She initially thought it might beco a Top Grade Divine Artifact, but unexpectedly, before she began the Artifact Refining, Ji Yaohua sohow obtained a wisp of soul and had it refined into the fan, becoming an Artifact Soul.
Thus, her second Holy Artifact in her hand was born this way.
Ji Yaohua played with the fan in his hand, smiling at Mu Qingge with eyes curved into crescents, "You worked hard to refine this for , and I haven’t properly thanked you. So you can’t refuse this ti."
Mu Qingge sighed and said to him, "I really have other plans."
Ji Yaohua curiously asked, "What plans are so urgent? Can’t you delay a few days?"
Seeing his deanor, it seed he wouldn’t give up until he achieved his goal. If she didn’t agree, this guy would probably cling to her wherever she went.
Helplessly, Mu Qingge had to compromise, "I can only stay at your place for three days at most." Mu Qingge calculated in her heart that before entering the Ancient Battlefield, she needed to prepare carefully, such as Elixirs, which were essential. After all, she was cutting off her retreat by going in.
So, during this ti, she could go with Ji Yaohua to the Ji Family.
"Alright, alright! As long as you’re willing to go, anything you say," Ji Yaohua said hastily.
Then, he said to Mu Qingge, "You have nothing left to do, right? If everything’s done here, let’s go."
Mu Qingge was taken aback, "In such a hurry?"
"Yes, urgency can’t wait," Ji Yaohua nodded.
The more he acted like this, the more Mu Qingge felt sothing was fishy, but she couldn’t figure out what Ji Yaohua had in mind. Anyway, whatever he planned, he wouldn’t harm her.
With this thought, Mu Qingge nodded.
Following that, the two left the city directly and reached outside Tianping City, where Mu Qingge released Xiao Cai.
The mont Xiao Cai appeared, its rainbow-colored feathers almost made Ji Yaohua pounce over in amazent, drooling.
"Is this your mount? It’s so beautiful! I want one too!" Ji Yaohua’s eyes glead as he eyed Xiao Cai, provoking a disdainful look from Xiao Cai.
She gave Mu Qingge a pitiable look, as if saying, ’Master, please get rid of this perverted guy!’
Mu Qingge amusingly tugged Ji Yaohua’s collar, pulling him away, and said to him, "My Xiao Cai is a rarity in ten thousand years; don’t even think about it."
After she spoke, Xiao Cai cooperatively gave Ji Yaohua a slightly arrogant look.
Ji Yaohua smacked his lips regretfully, "Such a good mount, why isn’t it mine?"
Mu Qingge took him, leaped lightly, and sat on Xiao Cai’s back. She asked Ji Yaohua, "Tell , which direction is the Ji Family?"
Ji Yaohua replied, "The Ji Family’s city is called Wankai City, located southeast of Tianping City."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Cai spread its wings and flew, carrying the two directly into the air, vanishing from the landscape of Tianping City with a ’whoosh’.
"Woah! The speed is incredible!" Ji Yaohua exclaid in amazent, busy tidying his hair blown by the wind.
Mu Qingge raised an eyebrow, naturally stating, "Xiao Cai’s speed is naturally fast."
"At this speed, we’ll arrive in Wankai City today, just in ti for dinner," Ji Yaohua leaned toward Mu Qingge and smiled.
...
Wankai City, a city governed by the Ji Clan of the Northern Continent.
It lies close to the Northern Continent’s State Mansion, Roubei Prefecture. As one of the top cities in the Northern Continent, Wankai City is practically the second State Mansion to the people of the Northern Continent.
Mu Qingge had Xiaocai land in the suburbs of Wankai City, not wanting to make a large commotion.
Once she had put Xiaocai away, Mu Qingge turned to Ji Yaohua who was looking at her with relish.
Ji Yaohua gazed at her with envy and said, "Why didn’t I ever think of catching myself a flying beast?" Then he muttered to himself, "The problem is, I’m not from the Central Continent’s Jing Family, so I can’t do beast taming. Asking the Jing Family for help with taming spirit beasts is just too much trouble."
After speaking, he curiously asked Mu Qingge, "Qingge, how did you get Xiaocai to obediently listen to you? Did you happen to have soone from the Jing Family help you?"
Mu Qingge’s mouth twitched; although she did have soone from the Jing Family by her side, Xiaocai was not tad by Jing Hai.
Actually, when Si Mo handed Xiaocai to her, it was already very obedient and gentle.
However, she naturally didn’t want to explain this to Ji Yaohua and simply said, "Flying spirit beasts need to be raised from a young age; as you gradually build a connection with them, they’ll naturally listen to you." Her words were not baseless; every Dragon Tooth Guard has a flying beast, isn’t it because of this?
"So, I need to go find a bird egg!" Ji Yaohua imdiately understood.
Mu Qingge raised her eyebrows and said nothing.
Suddenly, Ji Yaohua frowned and said, "But how can I tell if the creature that hatches is beautiful or ugly just from an egg? What if it turns out too ugly to match my dashing self, what would I do then?"
"..." Mu Qingge was speechless.
Sotis, she truly admired Ji Yaohua’s unique way of thinking.
Seeing Ji Yaohua lost in his thoughts, Mu Qingge helplessly urged him, "Let’s go, didn’t you say we need to hurry for dinner?"
Interrupted from his thoughts, Ji Yaohua awoke from his flying beast reverie and patted his head, "Yes, yes! Let’s head into the city quickly!"
Following this, he grabbed Mu Qingge by the sleeve and headed toward the gate of Wankai City.
Mu Qingge watched him, feeling helpless inside, "Is this guy really the second-ranked person on the Green Talent List?"
"Young Master Ji!"
"Hello, Young Master Ji!"
"Young Master Ji is back!"
"Young Master Ji!"
"Young Master!"
"Young Master!"
Along the way, Mu Qingge truly felt how popular Ji Yaohua was in Wankai City.
From children to the elderly, n to won, soldiers to civilians, everyone who saw him greeted him warmly. He didn’t find it botherso; with a spring breeze smile, he nodded gently and occasionally chatted.
This carefree, peaceful, and amiable Ji Yaohua genuinely surprised Mu Qingge.
She clearly rembered that when Ji Yaohua wanted to force her into a duel, he directly took Mu Xuewu hostage, threatening without any scruples. It was hard to imagine that the overbearing tyrant was the sa person as this approachable fellow.
Due to Ji Yaohua’s popularity, Mu Qingge also received a lot of attention along the way.
The curious glances, the knowing smiles, even expressions of sudden realization rendered her bewildered. She suddenly felt as if the whole world understood sothing, leaving her alone in confusion and embarrassnt.
Feeling dazed, Mu Qingge was led by Ji Yaohua into the Ji Family. Once inside a floral hall, she snapped back to reality, realizing she had no recollection of what the Ji Family gate looked like.
Blinking, Mu Qingge then noticed there was soone seated in the flower hall, soone she recognized.
"Hahaha—! Today is certainly a good day, we just arrived, and you’re here too." Ji Yaohua walked over cheerfully and playfully slapped the other’s shoulder.
The person calmly brushed Ji Yaohua’s hand away, dusted his shoulder, and nodded slightly at Mu Qingge.
Mu Qingge smiled faintly and said, "Ji Yaohua said you were coming; I didn’t believe him at first, but now I do."
Ying Ze glanced at Ji Yaohua, ignoring his cheerful deanor and said to Mu Qingge, "He sent a ssage claiming sothing urgent happened, begging to co to save him."
"Save him?" Mu Qingge looked at Ji Yaohua with curiosity.
This guy narrowly escaped danger, what does he need saving from?
Ji Yaohua chuckled, "I wasn’t lying to you, the saving part is true. But it’s not saving ; it’s soone else."
His reply made both Mu Qingge and Ying Ze frown simultaneously.
Then, Ji Yaohua lightly patted a few tis, and footsteps approached from afar.
Mu Qingge and Ying Ze followed the sound and saw a graceful girl entering accompanied by a maid.
At this mont, Ji Yaohua spoke, "My father has been thinking of marrying Pianpian off lately, and plans to hold a marriage eting. I figured my sister can’t just marry so random guy, so I thought of my two good brothers!"
