Celestial 'War God' Return

"This one is your bamboo house; you can stay here as long as you want." Then, Huangfu Meizhen pointed to two bamboo houses not far from their location. "The one under the tree is Mu Qingge’s house, and the one on the left is Xuanyuan Yueyao’s house. I hope you won’t make a fuss with her, and it will be even better if you two build a good relationship."

"I know." Situ Lingxi nodded.

Just then, the door of Xuanyuan Yueyao’s bamboo house opened from the inside; she gracefully and calmly walked out.

Although Xuanyuan Yueyao and Situ Lingxi are equal in beauty, their demeanors are quite opposite.

Everyone has to admit that their figures are top-notch; it’s no mistake to say they are peerless beauties with quite contrasting personalities.

One is the niece of Emperor Xuanyuan Lingtian, and the other is the niece of Queen Situ Lingshan.

Xuanyuan Yueyao portrays a woman who is graceful, beautiful, and calm. Her demeanor, manner, and way of moving are truly ladylike. The most attractive thing about her is her eyes—showing tenderness and depth.

In contrast, Situ Lingxi portrays a woman who is beautiful and sexy, whereas her demeanor is hot like a volcano. Her demeanor and manner do not indicate that she is a young miss from a prominent clan, but she does not look like an ordinary woman either.

Huangfu Meizhen massaged her forehead, watching the two women look at each other. "I have other matters, so I’ll leave you two alone for now."

After Huangfu Meizhen left, Xuanyuan Yueyao and Situ Lingxi walked towards each other; they stopped when there was only some distance between them.

"Long time no see, Lingxi."

"Long time no see, Yueyao."

Xuanyuan Yueyao’s smile bloomed slightly. "I didn’t expect you to give up your feelings for Sun Weitian."

"He’s dead; there’s no need to discuss him anymore." Xuanyuan Yueyao had naturally heard of Sun Weitian’s death; she wasn’t surprised. "I always thought you were in love with Song Tianzun, but I didn’t expect you to cancel your wedding plans with him."

Xuanyuan Yueyao shook her head. "I never fell in love with Song Tianzun, and my uncle arranged our wedding plans."

"Oh?" Situ Lingxi was taken aback. "Why do you let your uncle control your life to such an extent?"

"I am a member of the Xuanyuan Clan, and my uncle is never wrong in his decisions, so I just need to follow his arrangements." Xuanyuan Yueyao calmly replied.

Situ Lingxi’s lips twitched. "Isn’t the failure of your wedding plans proof that he was wrong?"

"He’s not wrong," Xuanyuan Yueyao denied with a shake of her head. "Our wedding plans were canceled because of Shangguan Qingyue, and you should already know the reason behind it."

"I do." Situ Lingshan nodded slightly. "Huo Mianmian is the cause."

"Haha," Xuanyuan Yueyao laughed softly. "Shangguan Qingyue wanted to control the Dugu Clan, and she was also attracted to Dugu Cangxu. Unfortunately, he was Huo Mianmian’s fiancé at the time, so she kidnapped her and hid her in the Shangguan Clan."

"If Shangguan Qingyue hadn’t messed with Tang Xiao, he wouldn’t have rescued Huo Mianmian from the Shangguan Clan, and your marriage plans with Song Tianzun wouldn’t have been cancelled." Situ Lingxi said, her tone a little sarcastic.

"Everything is arranged by fate, and I just go with the flow." Xuanyuan Yueyao paused, scrutinizing Situ Lingxi’s face. "I didn’t expect you to fall in love with Tang Xiao, and it happened within a few days in the forest."

Situ Lingxi smiled. "Aren’t you the same as me? You also fell in love with Tang Xiao, didn’t you? I’m quite familiar with your character, and your actions this time really surprised me."

"You’re wrong," Xuanyuan Yueyao denied. "I haven’t met Tang Xiao yet, so how could I possibly fall in love with him? However, I have to admit that he has his own unique qualities and advantages, and I joined this sect to get to know him. If he can make me fall in love, I will happily become his wife."

Situ Lingxi narrowed her eyes. "Are you sure you want to be his wife? He already has several wives, you know? With your status and Emperor Xuanyuan’s support, you can get another man worthy of your status as the young miss of the Xuanyuan Clan."

"The problem is that no other man has his qualities." Situ Lingxi’s heart skipped a beat; she was sure that Xuanyuan Yueyao already knew more things about Tang Xiao. "I do know a lot about him, but I won’t tell you anything, and you can learn everything from him directly."

Situ Lingxi wanted to say something, but she and Xuanyuan Yueyao suddenly heard a small commotion from the gate of the core disciple courtyard. They saw a young man walking quickly towards a young woman, who was none other than Mu Qingge.

"Mu Qingge," Situ Lingxi said with a smile.

Xuanyuan Yueyao could recognize Mu Qingge because she had seen her painting before. "That man is Shen Liang, right? He’s been visiting Mu Qingge’s bamboo house these past few days, but she only returned to the sect today."

"She probably spent some time with Tang Xiao before coming back here." Situ Lingxi narrowed her eyes. "I admit that Shen Liang is a little handsome, but his handsomeness is not comparable to Tang Xiao. His wishful thinking is too exaggerated, and he will suffer if he dares to disturb Mu Qingge. You haven’t met her, right?"

"Not yet."

"Let’s approach them."

"Alright."

.

.

.

Mu Qingge furrowed her brows as Shen Liang blocked her path. "Please get out of my way."

"Hey... hey... don’t act too cold, Mu Qingge," Shen Liang said shamelessly. "Let me introduce myself! I’m Shen Liang, the young master of the Shen Clan. I’ve heard about you since you joined this sect, and I’ve been wanting to meet you ever since. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find you when I returned from a mission, and I’ve been waiting for you to return for the past few days."

Mu Qingge frowned deeply as soon as she remembered Chen Hongde’s information about Shen Liang; she also remembered that he sent his two subordinates to kidnap her and kill Tang Xiao.

Fortunately, Tang Xiao noticed the two people’s presence; he decided to capture them, and Xiao Ai helped him alter their memories.

Mu Qingge’s previously cold eyes turned icy. "I don’t care who you are; you should stop bothering me."

"You—"

"Do you think the Shen Clan is that great?" A woman’s cold and disgusted voice rang out.

Upon hearing that, Shen Liang immediately turned around, but his body stiffened as soon as he saw Situ Lingxi and Xuanyuan Yueyao. Although his Shen Clan was one of the prominent clans in the Song Kingdom, their status was not comparable to a royal clan like the Situ Clan, let alone the Xuanyuan Clan. "Young Miss Situ! Young Miss Xuanyuan."

"Humph." Situ Lingxi snorted and ignored Shen Liang; she walked quickly next to Mu Qingge and hugged her arm. "Are you surprised to see me in the sect, Qingge? I joined the sect today, and we can spend time together again."

Mu Qingge shook her head with a smile. "I’m not surprised, Lingxi. My husband told me you would be joining the sect today, so I decided to come back."

Shen Liang felt a chill in his heart; he didn’t expect Mu Qingge to have such a close relationship with Situ Lingxi, and their closeness seemed unusual.

Just as Shen Liang was thinking about this, Xuanyuan Yueyao was already standing beside Mu Qingge and extending her slender right hand. "I’ve been waiting for you for several days, and I’m glad to meet you, Qingge. By the way, my name is Xuanyuan Yueyao; nice to meet you."

"I’ve heard about you, Yueyao." Mu Qingge shook Xuanyuan Yueyao’s hand for a moment. "My husband already told me about you, and he asked me to meet you first."

Xuanyuan Yueyao smiled. "I’ve heard about you from Tantai Lingyan and the others, but you’re different from their stories."

"What did they tell you about me?" Mu Qingge asked with a smile.

"They say you are cold and aloof, but I feel like you are not like that." Xuanyuan Yueyao gestured towards a stone table near their bamboo houses. "How about the three of us talk there?"

"Sure." Mu Qingge glanced at Shen Liang briefly before walking away with the two women.

.

.

.

Shen Liang broke out in a cold sweat as he watched the three women leave; he was completely shocked to see Mu Qingge having a relationship with Situ Lingxi and Xuanyuan Yue.

Moreover, Xuanyuan Yueyao held such a lofty status—being a member of the Xuanyuan Clan and Emperor Xuanyuan’s niece—yet she was so humble and friendly toward Mu Qingge.

’Damn it! My Shen Clan will face great danger if she finds out that I sent my subordinates to kidnap her and kill her husband.’ Shen Liang hurriedly returned to his bamboo house, contacted his two subordinates, and ordered them to cancel the plan.

Unfortunately, Shen Liang was still unaware that his plan had been exposed, nor did he know that his two subordinates had switched sides. Moreover, Tang Xiao had already decided to act against the Shen Clan, and his fate would be determined in the next few days.

.

.

.

Mu Qingge, Situ Lingxi, and Xuanyuan Yueyao were already seated together around the stone table.

"When will Tang Xiao return to the sect, Qingge?"

Mu Qingge looked at Xuanyuan Yueyao and answered her. "My husband and the others are on their way back, and they’ll arrive in two days. However, he won’t be staying in the sect. He’ll be taking us to the Taixu Kingdom to attend our friends’ wedding."

"A wedding?"

"Chen Hongde and Su Xiulan’s wedding."
