Chapter 1070: Chapter 155: Parting Ways (Second Update)

"Enough!"

Mu Qingge said sternly, interrupting Lian Qiao’s words.

Lian Qiao didn’t continue speaking, but her expression didn’t improve. Yao Xinghai stood there, unsure whether to laugh or cry.

He sighed, consoling himself, ’At least we’ve found the ancestor.’

The atmosphere in the room suddenly grew tense.

Su Ming, a mortal standing in the middle, felt extremely uncomfortable, as if about to suffocate.

Mu Qingge looked at Lian Qiao and said coldly, "You ran off on your own and willfully entered the Divine Demon Continent. Do you know that because of your recklessness, Yao Xinghai and Xi Qianxue didn’t experience the three Heavenly Tribulations but were instead absorbed into the Divine Land? Here, all their skills have turned them into people at the lowest level, facing humiliation and danger multiple times. And now, you don’t realize your mistake; instead, you say such hurtful words here."

Lian Qiao snorted coldly, not responding.

Yao Xinghai felt a bit touched. How could he not feel wronged inside? Yet, these words, he could never say to Lian Qiao. Mu Qingge said them for him, making him very grateful.

"You are well aware of your identity and know how many powerful figures are eyeing you. Yet, you insist on coming here. Years ago, the Dan God went through great lengths to send you down here, and now you come and ruin it all?" Mu Qingge sharply reprimanded again.

She rarely scolded anyone like this, but Lian Qiao’s willfulness made her very angry.

Whether it was the already fallen Dan God, the head of the Alchemy Institute, or Yao Xinghai, everything they did was to protect Lian Qiao.

Even she herself, due to the Dan God’s instructions, had to take good care of Lian Qiao.

And yet?

Not only did she fail to understand everyone’s intentions, but she also repeatedly ran away.

The last time, she hid in the Heaven-Burning Furnace, leaving the Alchemy Institute with her. This time, she was even bolder, running directly from the Middle Ancient Realm to the Divine Demon Continent.

"You all hide things from me. Since none of you will tell me the answer, I’ll find it myself. Besides, I came here to find you." Lian Qiao said coldly.

Mu Qingge remained cold-faced.

Lian Qiao’s words didn’t surprise her. Earlier, when she speculated that the person Su Ming brought was highly likely Lian Qiao, she guessed that Lian Qiao’s purpose in coming to the Huan Yue Domain was to find her.

At that time, to lure out Mu Tianyin, Mu Qingge made herself famous throughout the world.

How could Lian Qiao not know?

But what was going on with Su Ming and her?

"There are reasons for not telling you. And what is going on between you and her?" Mu Qingge asked Lian Qiao, pointing at Su Ming.

Lian Qiao glanced at Su Ming, who was completely stunned.

Retracting her gaze, Lian Qiao said blandly, "A long time ago, her ancestors received my favor. She accompanied me to the Huan Yue Domain, which can be considered as repaying that favor. Also..." Lian Qiao’s eyes became somewhat complex and after a moment she said, "The wine brewed by her family can make people dream. In the dream, I return to the time I loved the most."

Lian Qiao’s explanation made Mu Qingge understand why Su Ming got involved in this matter.

Clearly, Su Ming also knew Lian Qiao’s identity. It was precisely because of this knowledge that she tried her best to prevent anyone from seeing Lian Qiao, fearing those who would discover Lian Qiao’s identity might harbor evil intentions.

"You truly are a troublemaker." Mu Qingge sighed helplessly, her cold face showed no sign of softening. "Your character is impulsive. Not telling you is not because we’re afraid of what you’ll do, but because we fear you’ll do something irremediable in your impulsiveness."

Lian Qiao’s body shook, and she raised her eyes, staring at Mu Qingge with wide eyes, asking, "What do you mean? Did you find him?"

Mu Qingge took a deep breath, looking at Lian Qiao with calm eyes.

Her gaze showed panic, as if she was hoping Mu Qingge would give her an answer, yet feared hearing it.

"He’s already dead." But Mu Qingge still said it.

"Qingge!" Yao Xinghai wanted to stop her, but was powerless.

"What did you say?" Lian Qiao’s body released a violent aura, sweeping towards Mu Qingge.

However, this time Mu Qingge simply waved her hand, dissipating the violent aura into nothing, restoring peace to the room.

Lian Qiao’s eyes were cold as she looked at her, seemingly wanting to threaten her to take back what she had just said.

But Mu Qingge ignored her appearance and continued, "You once told me that if he died, you wouldn’t live alone. You would want me to refine you into a Poison Pill so that those who covet you would kill each other, and you would poison the last one."

Yao Xinghai was shocked, looking at Lian Qiao. He never knew Lian Qiao had such a resolute thought.

No wonder, no wonder Mu Qingge, with her temperament, kept silent without revealing the truth in the Middle Ancient Realm.

"In fact, your life and death don’t matter much to me. However, I promised my master to take good care of you and not let you do anything foolish." Mu Qingge continued.

Her words were somewhat cold, making people feel heartache. Su Ming cast a disapproving glance at her, then looked at Lian Qiao with heartache.

"You’ve seen him." Lian Qiao raised her head in a daze, looking at Mu Qingge.

Years of longing, years of hope, years of waiting, ultimately still brought a result she least wanted to see.

Lian Qiao suddenly felt immense pain. She wasn’t human, just the Supreme Pill King, yet she felt the burning pain of emotions. The pain sank into her bones, making life worse than death.

Mu Qingge said faintly, "Last time, you asked me if there were any gains in the Divine Tomb. I didn’t answer you then. This time I’ll tell you; I did see him, and part of my current Divine Status is his."

"Then you must know who killed him!" Lian Qiao became agitated.

"I won’t tell you." Mu Qingge shook her head slowly.

With that, she turned and walked out.

"Mu Qingge!" Suddenly, Lian Qiao shouted loudly.

Mu Qingge stopped, standing still. Lian Qiao looked at her back, speaking painfully, "If you were me, would you be content to live on alone?"

Mu Qingge’s eyes flickered, but she remained silent.

Seeing no response, Lian Qiao shouted fiercely again, "You once promised me!" Promised to refine her into a Poison Pill, promised to help her take revenge!

Mu Qingge stood there for a while, finally, under Lian Qiao’s expectant gaze, she stepped out without giving any answer.

Lian Qiao’s eyes dimmed immediately.

She vented at Su Ming and Yao Xinghai in the room, "Get out! All of you get out! You’re all lying to me, all lying to me..."

Mu Qingge walked out of the room, exhaling a heavy breath.

Using her Divine Sense to check, she went directly to Li Chao’s door, standing at the entrance, she said to him: "Eldest Young Master, tomorrow we will part ways. You first take them back to the Huan Yue Domain."
