Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort-Chapter 465: Lord’s Cousin (Part 5)

"Good day, Master Mo. I am the maid of the young lord, You He." You He immediately bowed to Si Mo.

However, she then exchanged glances with Hua Yue, inquiring: Since when did the lady have any relatives? Wasn’t she supposed to be an orphan with no family?

The two maids were puzzled but did not ask further.

Similarly puzzled, Mo Yang, who had been with Mu Qingge since childhood, looked at Si Mo with a hint of suspicion in his eyes.

The other Dragon Tooth Guards were unaware of Mu Qingge’s mother’s affairs. Hearing her explanation, they didn’t think much of it and, like You He, addressed Si Mo as ’Master Mo’.

After her initial surprise, Hua Yue also followed suit.

Being able to openly appear in front of Mu Qingge’s subordinates greatly lifted Si Mo’s spirits.

Without further delay, everyone continued on their journey towards Yu Country.

Mu Qingge retrieved her Black Flame and carriage and naturally declined Si Mo’s offer to ride together. However, this shameless fellow still squeezed into her carriage.

Originally, it was just her, You He, and Hua Yue inside the carriage, and the three of them did not find it cramped. But the moment Si Mo squeezed in, it suddenly felt overcrowded, and even the air, Mu Qingge felt, became thinner.

The most infuriating part was that the instigator seemed completely oblivious!

Mu Qingge was so angry that she ground her teeth almost audibly all the way.

Initially, You He and Hua Yue were somewhat skeptical of Si Mo’s identity, but seeing how familiar their mistress was with him, they felt at ease.

Anyway, as long as there weren’t any people or matters harmful to the young lord, why should they concern themselves too much?

...

Yu Country’s capital was named Fengjia, though it was not Mu Qingge’s destination.

Originally, her plan was to pass through Fengjia and then head to the Medicine Tower Branch located in the northwest corner of Yu Country. However, too many unexpected events happened along the way, causing considerable delays.

The annual admission of the Medicine Tower was approaching. If she continued the original route to visit Fengjia, she feared missing the opportunity to enter the Medicine Tower and having to wait another year.

Thus, she chose a shortcut, bypassing Fengjia, taking the northwest route of Yu Country, and directly crossing over to Sangzhi City, where the Medicine Tower is located, to meet the Wei Family siblings.

Only she didn’t know if they had arrived at the Medicine Tower yet.

"Sangzhi City." Mu Qingge looked at the map in her hand and didn’t find anything special about it; originally, it was just an ordinary town in Yu Country.

"The Medicine Tower Branch is actually not established in Sangzhi City. Sangzhi City is merely a town near the Medicine Tower Branch, also becoming well-known because of the Medicine Tower," Si Mo suddenly explained.

With a flash in her eyes, Mu Qingge folded the map and asked, "Then why was the Medicine Tower Branch only established in Yu Country? Why not choose Li Country, Qin Country, or Ba Country? Is it really because the people of Yu Country have greater alchemy talent compared to other countries? Or is it merely the medicinal materials from Mimeng Forest?"

Si Mo smiled and replied, "Outsiders say the Medicine Tower Branch is established in Yu Country because of their innate alchemy talent—an attempt to recruit talented individuals for the Medicine Tower Headquarters. In truth, it’s just an excuse to divert public attention from the real reason." 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

"Oh? Does the Medicine Tower have ulterior motives?" Mu Qingge’s eyes lit up.

Si Mo shook his head, "It’s not exactly ulterior motives. The Medicine Tower is established in Yu Country, and such a remote location is chosen simply because of the Mimeng Forest."

"Mimeng Forest? It’s just some medicinal materials; are they really that important?" Mu Qingge asked, perplexed.
