Chapter 382: Mu Qingge - Shangguan Qingyue

"So, what do you think? Are you willing to seduce Tang Xiao?" Shangguan Qinzhi asked.

Shangguan Qingyue crossed her left leg over her right and smiled. "Aunt, who wouldn’t want a husband with a golden aptitude for cultivation? Tang Xiao is still weak now, but he will become a powerful cultivator in the future, and he might even surpass Emperor Xuanyuan. I will seduce him and make him my husband, but I don’t want to share a husband with so many women, so I will gradually weed them out."

"What are you going to do about them?" Shangguan Qinzhi asked with a frown. "If you kill them, Huangfu Lingxuan will notice your actions, and he will blame us for their deaths."

Shangguan Qingyue smiled lightly. "Naturally, I won’t kill those women, Aunt. I’ll use other means to remove them from Tang Xiao’s side so that old man won’t do anything to us, and he’ll be mine alone then. Please don’t worry and trust me, okay? I will never do anything that will harm our Shangguan Clan, and our clan will be second only to the Xuanyuan Clan after I subdue him."

"Sigh." Shangguan Qinzhi released a soft sigh. "You can use any means to seduce Tang Xiao, but I forbid you from injuring or killing all his wives. Huangfu Lingxuan’s cultivation has already broken through, and he is also good friends with Emperor Xuanyuan. He told me that he will protect that kid and all his wives, so I’m sure he will attack us if anything terrible happens to them."

"I know." Shangguan Qingyue stood up. "If you believe me, I have my own way of getting rid of all those women without hurting them, and that old man won’t blame us for my actions."

Shangguan Qinzhi looked at her niece seriously. "Alright, I’ll leave them to you, and you must successfully seduce Tang Xiao for the betterment of our Shangguan Clan."

"So, where are Tang Xiao and the others now? Are they in the Nine Profound Sect?"

Shangguan Qinzhi shook her head. "Tang Xiao and a few others are out on a mission, and they’re heading to the snow mountains through the territory of the Shenwu Kingdom. However, one of his wives, Mu Qingge, is at the sect right now, so you should go there and try to establish a relationship with her."

"In that case, I will go to the sect now, and I will join there as a disciple."

"Alright." Shangguan Qinzhi watched her departing partner with a smile on her face. "Qingyue, you must succeed in seducing Tang Xiao for the sake of your future and that of our Shangguan Clan."

Huangfu Meizhen raised an eyebrow when a female elder entered her room, but she frowned when she saw Shangguan Qingyue. "Why did you come to my sect, Qingyue?"

"Before I answer you, I want to congratulate you because you will soon be the future queen of the Song Kingdom." Huangfu Meizhen did not respond to Shangguan Qingyue, who immediately sat in front of her. "Big Sis Meizhen, I came here because I want to join your sect."

Huangfu Meizhen knitted her brows, and she was certain that Shangguan Qingyue had ulterior motives. "Why do you want to join my sect? Didn’t the people of the Shangguan Clan once say that they would never join any sect?"

"Hehehe," Shangguan Qingyue giggled. "I don’t know about my seniors, but there’s no prohibition within our Shangguan Clan against joining a sect. I’m bored of cultivating in my clan, and I want to gain experience elsewhere. Since you’ll be my clan’s daughter-in-law soon, I’ve decided to join your sect, so I hope you’ll be willing to accept me, and I won’t cause any trouble here."

Huangfu Meizhen stared at her. "Did your aunt send you here to approach Tang Xiao?"

"Oh?" Shangguan Qingyue smiled. "It seems my eldest cousin already told you about that, huh? You’re right that my aunt sent me here to approach Tang Xiao, but I won’t do anything detrimental to him or your sect, so you don’t need to be suspicious or wary of me."

"Humph." Huangfu Meizhen snorted. "Did your aunt tell you that Tang Xiao has several wives?"

Shangguan Qingyue nodded. "No matter how many wives he has, I’m confident in getting Tang Xiao, and he will be my husband in the future."

"Heh!"

"Big Sis Meizhen, you’ll be a member of the Shangguan Clan soon, so you shouldn’t have any problems with that, right? Besides, I can guess a little of your train of thought, and you want to pull Tang Xiao to your side, right?" Huangfu Meizhen neither acknowledged nor denied Shangguan Qingyue’s words. "Since you can’t win him over by yourself, why don’t you give me a chance to do so? If he becomes my husband, my Shangguan and your sect will both benefit, so everyone will be happy. So, what do you think about that?"

"Alright, you can join my sect." Shangguan Qingyue’s eyes lit up, but Huangfu Meizhen hurriedly warned her. "I don’t care how you conquer Tang Xiao, but I forbid you from harming all his wives, let alone killing them. If you harm them, not even your aunt and uncle will be able to save you from my grandfather’s wrath, and your Shangguan Clan will also have to face the consequences for your actions."

"Are you going to stop your grandfather from taking action against your in-laws’ clan?" Shangguan Qingyue curiously asked.

Huangfu Meizhen shook her head. "Although I will soon be part of the Shangguan Clan, the clan’s affairs have nothing to do with me. If your clan is affected by your actions, I will never protect them, so you must think carefully about your every action."

’Tch! She deliberately said that to prevent me from overdoing it!’ Shangguan Qingyue stood up. "With my current cultivation, I should join the core disciples, right?"

"That’s right." Huangfu Meizhen contacted an elder and asked him to handle the process of Shangguan Qingyue joining their sect. "You can go to the core disciple area first, and a female elder will send you your sect identity."

"Thank you, then."

Huangfu Meizhen leaned back in her chair, folded her arms in front of her chest, and thought about her own decision. "Would it really be no problem to allow her to join my sect?"

Shangguan Qingyue had already arrived at the core disciple area, and she immediately looked for Mu Qingge because she was also a core disciple.

"Hmm?" Shangguan Qingyue raised an eyebrow when she saw a male disciple standing in front of Mu Qingge’s bamboo house. She could tell that the man’s presence was bothering her. "That woman is really pretty, and she is much prettier than me! It’s rare for a woman to have light blue hair like her, and her figure is really exquisite. If I remember correctly, that man is Shen Liang, the second young master of the Shen Clan, and he seems to be captivated by her beauty."

Shangguan Qingyue immediately moved quickly towards the bamboo house, startling both Shen Liang and Mu Qingge. "Hey! What are you doing here? Can’t you see that she feels uncomfortable with your presence?"

Mu Qingge didn’t recognize Shangguan Qingyue, but it was a different case with Shen Liang. As the second young master of the Shen Clan, he naturally recognized her identity as a member of the Shangguan Clan, and he also knew that the clan was a royal clan because Shangguan Qinzhi was the queen of the Song Kingdom.

"Cough." Shen Liang cleared his throat. "What are you doing in this sect, Young Miss Qingyue?"

"I can’t afford to care about you, so you should disappear from my sight, as your presence is an eyesore." Shen Liang’s face darkened, but Shangguan Qingyue didn’t care. "If you don’t leave now, I’ll beat you up."

If someone else had threatened him, Shen Liang would have been furious and beaten that person, but Shangguan Qingyue was different. Although he was irritated by her words and threats, he didn’t dare contradict her, and he immediately left the area while grumbling in his heart. ’This bitch! She only dares to rely on her clan status to threaten me! I will take revenge on her one day!’

"Humph!" Dongfang Qingyue snorted before looking at Mu Qingge. "What’s your name, Sister? I’m Shangguan Qingyue, and I just joined this sect today."

’The Shangguan Clan? Isn’t that a royal clan? If I remember correctly, the current queen of this kingdom comes from that clan.’ Mu Qingge immediately said to her. "My name is Mu Qingge, Sister Qingyue. Thank you for your help in getting rid of that man for me."

"Hehe," Shangguan Qingyue chuckled. "You don’t need to thank me for trivial matters. The Shen Clan is indeed one of the famous clans in this kingdom, but they wouldn’t dare to face my Shangguan Clan. By the way, do you have some free time, Sister Qingge? This is my first time coming to this sect, so I’m not familiar with the areas within it yet."

"I’m waiting for Brother Chen Hongde and Sister Su Xiulan, and we plan to go on a mission together."

"Oh." Shangguan Qingyue nodded in understanding. "In that case, can I join your group? I don’t have any friends in this sect, and you’re my first friend."

Mu Qingge thought to herself that Shangguan Qingyue was deliberately approaching her. "If you don’t have a problem with it, you can join our group, Sister Qingyue."

"That’s great!" Shangguan Qingyue clasped her hands. "So, where are Chen Hongde and Su Xiulan now? Are they waiting for you at the mission hall?"

"I’ll ask them first." Mu Qingge contacted the two. "They’re on their way back to the sect, and I asked them to meet us at the mission hall."

Shangguan Qingyue hugged her hand. "Let’s go there now, Sister Qingge."
