Chapter 412: Some people I like
Mo Huaizun actually didn’t care about the feud between Ling Yuanlong and the old emperor. He was originally just trying to solve the case.
So when he knew that Gu Yixiao might be the key to the truth, he asked without hesitation.
One of the reasons why I chose to let it go later was because of Zhu Jiu’s obstruction.
Another reason was that he quickly understood the logic behind the matter and what choice would maximize the benefits for Jueya.
That is what Zhu Jiu said above.
What Mo Huaizun was worried about was whether Zhu Jiu had thought of this before her and stopped it.
If so, it means that not only can he not beat her, but he also seems to be less proactive in controlling the situation.
Being inferior to others in all aspects is a very fresh and frustrating experience for Mo Huaizun.
Ever since he left the Imperial Palace, his mind had been preoccupied with Zhu Jiu. He wanted to know what she was thinking, but was unwilling to take the initiative to go there.
No, he listened to her advice, shouldn't she come and give an explanation in person?
However, he waited until the sun set but still did not see any ghost.
When Mo Huaizun heard this, he suddenly remembered the saying often said in the sect: There are always people better than you.
These words, which he had never taken seriously, pierced him like a sword.
Especially Zhu Jiu arrogantly teased: "Don't be sad, Chief Mo, genius is just the threshold to see me."
"Are you happy? I saw you at first sight among a bunch of geniuses."
Who will be happy after all?
Mo Huaizun was calm and suppressed his slight sense of loss.
The young pine and cypress with a sharp edge seem a little withered, as if there is dust in their eyes, which makes people feel uncomfortable.
Zhu Jiu felt distressed, patted his shoulder and comforted him, "It's okay, I'm just old and experienced, I wasn't like this when I was young."
"When you were young?"
Zhu Jiu nodded and said, "Yes, when I was young, I wasn't as strong as I am now. I could only beat ten of you."
"..."
It turns out that people really want to laugh when they are extremely speechless.
"May I ask your age?"
"fifty thousand."
"Why did he fall?"
"God is jealous of talented people."
"actual name?"
"Tan Xiaohua."
Can't believe a single word of it.
Mo Huaizun raised his thin lips and smiled coldly, like an iceberg melting, quite charming.
Zhu Jiu was attracted.
"Chief Mo, you went to great lengths to plant a Taiyan Chain Soul Seal and dragged me on a boat ride, just to ask this?"
She asked, shaking her clenched hands.
Mo Huaizun heard a hint of ambiguity in her tone.
Someone sprinkled some sugar on my heart and it melted.
Mo Huaizun appeared calm on the surface, but he was actually trying to change the subject in a panic.
"Did you know there's an ancient legend about the Lover's Seal?"
"Ok?"
Mo Huai Zun: "Legend has it that when two people plant the Lover's Seal, one of them is about to die, he can be resurrected in the other person through the seal."
Zhu Jiu was stunned and immediately thought of the old emperor and Ling Yuanlong.
The old and the young suddenly understood.
Mo Huaizun’s words are profound.
"The old emperor may have found a feasible solution."
"The princess harbors deep hatred, but has been wearing a veneer of obedience and closeness for decades. Now she has to give up the advantage of having a backer and kill him. There is only unbearable humiliation and the mountains are about to fall."
If she doesn't take action now, she might be the one to die.
Zhu Jiu said, "Tsk." "Greedy."
From this perspective, all the kindness Ling Yuanlong had received over the years was just a wedding dress temporarily placed on her.
In the Jiling royal family, none of the current princes and princesses live a normal life.
Xingjun felt sick and said, "It's good that this old man died."
The boat was sailing melodiously, the river was rippling, and the air was filled with cool water vapor. Zhu Jiu leaned back in the soft sleeper and closed his eyes comfortably.
After walking for a mile, Mo Huaizun's face tensed and he lowered his eyes and said, "Since the case is bound to be unresolved, the rumors of the 'extreme' national disaster that are circulating in the streets will never be determined."
"It is Jueya's fault for neglecting his duty and failing to save the people from disaster, allowing Zhujiu to escape."
The above sentence is one of the rumors behind the scenes.
Yes, the person involved knew everything, but how could anyone else know what was going on? They could only blame the tall man for not doing his job well.
There are three versions circulating: one is that the Crown Princess killed him, the other is that the Seventeenth Prince killed him, and the other is that Zhu Jiu killed him.
The last one is the most widely circulated and the most trusted. After all, she is a well-known wanted criminal, and there are also prophecies and on-site messages.
and then?
Why did Mo Huaizun bring up this matter for no apparent reason?
This is to test whether she is Zhu Jiu.
Zhu Jiu said lazily: "Jueya has taken advantage of it, so why can't he withstand a little bit of wind and frost?"
"As long as one of the princess or the seventeenth prince ascends the throne, the murderer will be determined."
"Let the outsiders curse you."
Mo Huaizun tightened his grip and said, "Does it matter if it's Zhu Jiu?"
"Wouldn't it be more logical if it was her? Who else would care except her?" Zhu Jiu's voice was lazy and calm, as if he was not the one taking the blame.
Mo Huaizun felt a little relieved and spoke in a lighter tone, "What do you think of Zhu Jiu?"
"Worse than me."
"...She just killed the Mahayana Demon King." Mo Huaizun emphasized.
"Isn't it just relying on the Canglan Realm? I can do it too." Zhu Jiu was like a nitpicker, and the person he was comparing himself to was himself.
Mo Huaizun laughed, thinking that her tsundere look was very cute, and it was a character he could truly feel.
"What are you laughing at? If you don't believe me, forget it." Zhu Jiu pulled his hand back unwillingly.
Mo Huaizun loosened his grip and took advantage of Zhu Jiu's loose fingers to fasten it.
Their fingers were tightly clasped together, and a smile appeared on his lips.
Zhu Jiu: “?”
Mo Huaizun's body stiffened, his eyelashes drooped, and after a long while he said, "I don't have a Taoist partner."
"Oh."
"What about you?"
"nor."
Before the stars in Mo Huaizun's eyes lit up, he heard her say with vicissitudes of life: "But there were some people I loved when I was alive."
Mo Huaizun: “?”
His face was slightly gloomy, and he said indifferently: "It's not meant to be, which means you two are not suitable."
"Then Chief Mo, who do you think is suitable for me?" Zhu Jiu asked with a smile.
Mo Huaizun opened his mouth, but couldn't utter the word.
The neck turned a little redder first.
He was silent.
Zhu Jiu smiled like a fox, tracing the back of his hand with his fingers.
"Say it."
"Just tell me."
"Say it."
Xingjun, who was watching the whole thing, rubbed the goose bumps on his body and asked Zhujiu to speak normally and not to be so picky.
Zhu Jiu ignored him.
Mo Huaizun couldn't stand Zhu Jiu's attack, a smile flashed across his eyes, he cleared his throat and said seriously: "According to what you said, your bone age should be quite old."
"It just so happens that Chu Yi's guardian elder is a senior member of the sect, so he should be a good match for you."
Zhu Jiu: “???”
Xingjun: “???”
The two of them were stunned for a moment, and then Xingjun burst into laughter, "Hahahaha, you feel better now, Zhu Jiuyou, you're being too sentimental, you're flirting with a blind man, you're being counterattacked!"
Zhu Jiu stumbled and his face turned dark: "..."
OK, OK, I thought Mo Huaizun was a serious person, but it turns out he is a joker!
Zhu Jiu lifted their interlocked hands and asked sarcastically, "So what does this mean for us now? According to seniority, are you stealing your master's future Taoist partner?"
"Not only did you rob, you also committed treason last night."
When last night was mentioned, Mo Huaizun was speechless, his eyes flickered, and he looked away in embarrassment.
"Why aren't you talking?" Zhu Jiu pressed on, standing up and approaching him.
Mo Huaizun was forced to stick close to the wall of the ship.
Zhu Jiu domineeringly supported his side with one hand, struggled with his tightly grasped hand, and sneered: "I'm asking you, if you don't speak, I'm leaving."
Mo Huaizun's crow-feather-like eyelashes fluttered slightly, and a faint shadow cast a dark butterfly's wings on his cold and stern face.
The starlight and lights danced in his pupils, and a blush spread from the corners of his eyes.
Mo Huaizun said in a hoarse voice: "What if I robbed him?"
Zhu Jiu was caught off guard and got stuck again.
I even felt a little palpitation from the shock.
It’s over, I feel like in love again.
Zhu Jiu was distracted when the handsome face in front of him enlarged.
With her skills, how could she be ambushed? She easily escaped from Mo Huaizun's side.
Mo Huaizun's courageous kiss fell short.
The air was a little awkward.
Zhu Jiu laughed dryly: "Sorry, I thought you were going to attack me by surprise."
Xingjun's embarrassing problem came back again, and he covered his eyes unbearably.
"It's better not to explain."
"You two together are like a fish and a bicycle, there is no chemistry."
……
The cruise ended unhappily.
Before leaving, Mo Huaizun handed Zhu Jiu two soul stones.
For specific functions, please refer to the second use of Lingshi.
It is used to replenish soul power and is something that soul cultivators flock to.
Growing up in a remote place, most soul cultivators will never be able to touch each other in their entire life.
Zhu Jiu took a look and was a little surprised. He took it with emotion and said without disdain, "Just two pieces?"
Perhaps because he was embarrassed just now, Mo Huaizun had a blank expression on his face.
"I still have a lot."
Zhu Jiu stretched out his hand and said humbly, "Give them all to me."
Mo Huaizun shook his head, "No, the rest should be left for future Taoist partners."
"..." Zhu Jiu opened his mouth and uttered a few words, "It's so funny, who cares, hum."
She turned and floated away proudly.
Mo Huaizun also turned around and left indifferently.
The two went in opposite directions.
Then he realized that he had forgotten about Elder Mo and Gu Yixiao.
