Chapter 1093 - 178: You, Come With Me!

Chapter 1093: Chapter 178: You, Come With Me!

"What is going on here?" Mu Qingge asked with keen interest.

The female boss of the tea shop covered her mouth and laughed, her expression becoming somewhat ambiguous. "You have come to Qingluan City, do you not know what is happening recently in Qingluan City?"

Mu Qingge was taken aback and carefully recalled everything Xuan Ya had reported to her during Chao Lu.

It seemed she had mentioned that Li Yuan was up to something recently, recruiting handsome male disciples.

’Could it be... the matter that the female boss mentioned is this one?’ Mu Qingge thought silently.

Although she had guessed something in her heart, she slowly shook her head in front of the female boss, "I happened to pass by, and my purpose is not here, so I am not clear about the affairs in Qingluan City."

"I see." The female boss said with sudden realization.

She looked at the empty chair next to Mu Qingge, hinting with her eyes.

Mu Qingge smiled faintly, nodded, and said, "Boss, please sit."

At this moment, there were no other customers in the tea shop. The female boss also felt that a customer as handsome as Mu Qingge was a rare sight, so she sat down to chat with her.

"I wonder if you have heard of the Phoenix Heaven God Emperor?" The female boss’s eyes turned ambiguous again.

Li Yuan?

Mu Qingge’s brow barely twitched, and she calmly said, "Naturally, I have heard of her. It is said that the Phoenix Heaven God Emperor is noble and beautiful, an exemplar for all women in the world."

The female boss nodded and smiled, "You are right, our God Emperor of Phoenix Heaven Domain is the only woman among the sixteen Divine Domains in the Four Seas Divine Land who can manage a domain among all the men. She truly is a model for us. Moreover, the Phoenix Heaven God Emperor is exceptionally beautiful, of noble character, and has impeccable demeanor and conduct, almost the ideal self for all women."

Mu Qingge looked at her with clear eyes, seeing the admiration and esteem in her gaze.

’It seems Li Yuan is very skilled at putting on a front before people.’ Mu Qingge thought to herself, recalling how Si Mo had once told her that Li Yuan secretly collaborated with the Demon Clan hoping to use them to hold back the other three Divine Domains in North Divine Land. Si Mo chose to cooperate with her because he saw through her duplicity.

It was unexpected that this cooperative relationship that should be mutually beneficial was ruined by this woman.

Now, because Si Mo had promised Mu Qingge, he did not directly confront Li Yuan, but Mu Qingge today walked right into this woman’s territory.

"Boss, staying in Qingluan City and having such esteem for the Phoenix Heaven God Emperor, it seems she truly deserves the respect she commands." Mu Qingge smiled with a hint of sarcasm.

"Certainly." The female boss nodded vigorously.

Mu Qingge’s gaze swept over the crowd, subtly shifting the topic back, "So many people here, is it related to the Phoenix Heaven God Emperor?"

"Yes, you guessed it right," the female boss nodded.

She looked at the empty table, stood up, and said, "Ah, I should bring you some snacks, on the house, no charge for you."

With that, she turned and walked to the back.

Mu Qingge chuckled to herself, thinking: ’I just wanted to ask what the situation really is.’

As soon as she finished her thoughts, the female boss returned with two plates of colorful and well-presented pastries.

She placed the pastries on the table, sat down again, and said to Mu Qingge, "Doesn’t that look much better now?"

Mu Qingge smiled at her but said nothing.

The female boss blushed under her gaze, showing charming bashfulness.

"Ahem." After a while, she adjusted and lightly coughed, saying to Mu Qingge, "Sir, you look at me like this, making it hard for me to speak."

Her address changed from "guest" to "sir," with a coquettish tone that made Mu Qingge twitch her mouth.

She sat up straight, restraining her smile, and said, "Boss, I’m just curious why so many people have gathered here."

"Ah! I almost forgot to tell you." Mentioning this, the boss suddenly came to her senses. Her bashfulness faded, and she said to Mu Qingge, "This is to select disciples for the Phoenix Heaven God Emperor."

"Select disciples?" Mu Qingge asked curiously while thinking, ’It indeed matches the intelligence Xuan Ya collected.’

The female boss nodded and continued, "The God Emperor said cultivation on the grand path is incredibly difficult. Many people cannot pass even the first hurdle. To allow more people to understand the true essence of the grand path, she has conveniently opened the gates to recruit more disciples to enter the Phoenix Heaven Domain to cultivate and comprehend the grand path."

"The Phoenix Heaven God Emperor truly has a compassionate heart." Mu Qingge complimented insincerely.

The female boss said, "Isn’t she? I told you, the Phoenix Heaven God Emperor is a great person."

Mu Qingge glanced at the crowd again, then said to the female boss, "But, even though you say that, I see only men heading over, rarely any women signing up."

"That’s something you don’t know. The Phoenix Heaven God Emperor said that there are too many female disciples in the domain; she wants to recruit more male disciples. If any find romance, she will endorse them," the female boss explained.

Mu Qingge’s eyes turned strange, and her expression was filled with amusement, thinking, ’Isn’t Li Yuan heartbroken? Why is she playing matchmaker now?’

"Ah, you don’t know, this decision of the Phoenix Heaven God Emperor made many female disciples in the Phoenix Heaven Domain grateful and prompted many men to come wanting to join," the female boss sighed.

Mu Qingge felt amused, thinking Li Yuan was quite the nutcase.

The female boss surveyed Mu Qingge a few times and said, "When you came over just now, I thought, sir, you are extraordinarily handsome and exceptional in presence, so I really thought you were here for this. But it turns out, sir, you merely passed by and knew nothing about it."

"I didn’t know; thank you, boss, for clarifying." Mu Qingge said.

Over here, Mu Qingge was having a casual chat with the female boss in the tea shop. Mu Qingge temporarily wasn’t interested in dealing with whatever nonsense Li Yuan was causing; she had already planted people inside, and this invitation provided a perfect opportunity to delve deeper.

However, her lack of interest didn’t mean others would ignore her.

Far from the tea shop stood a female deity on the recruitment platform. Her pink attire couldn’t dissipate the icy chill on her cheeks.

The competing male enrollees didn’t interest her.

Her proud cold eyes swept over the crowd, seemingly searching for someone.

Suddenly, her gaze locked onto the tea shop where Mu Qingge was, more precisely on Mu Qingge herself. She instantly teleported in front of Mu Qingge and the female boss and said to Mu Qingge, "You, come with me."
