Chapter 58 - The furious Jiu Mozhi
"Sect Master Ling, what a coincidence. We were about to go to the Mu Rong family when we met someone from the Mu Rong family." Jiu Mozhi grinned.
Resolving Ling Xiao's problem meant that he was one step closer to his goal of becoming Ling Xiao's disciple, so he was still very happy.
Hearing that, Ling Xiao asked indifferently: "Have you been to the Mu Rong family before?"
That was why when there was a chance, he would ask the Carriage for me to come to his residence to play. But that was a long time ago, after I went to the Tuo Hua Nation to be a teacher, I did not have the chance to look for him, but he would find the time to come visit me. " Jiu Mozhi replied.
Ling Xiao nodded, glanced at A Bi who was walking in front, and after confirming that he could not hear the conversation between him and Jiu Mozhi, he asked: "Then, what did he talk about with you in the past?"
Towards Ling Xiao's sudden question, Jiu Mozhi was puzzled, but he still answered truthfully: "Previously, it was just a conversation between friends, but later on when I left for the Mo Fan Country, he would frequently mention the Sky Dragon Temple. The most recent time, it was about the six-veined divine sword, and coincidentally, I was very desperate for it, so when I was hot-headed, I thought of coming to the Sky Dragon Temple to seize it."
Hearing this, Ling Xiao laughed lightly: "Then have you thought about the profound principles behind this?"
Jiu Mozhi was startled, and did not know what Ling Xiao was saying.
"If he really was thinking for your sake, why did he encourage you to go to the Sky Dragon Temple to snatch the six-veined divine sword? Even if you ultimately obtained the six-veined divine sword, your reputation would definitely become very bad, deceiving your master and exterminating your ancestors; this kind of crime is evil to the extreme no matter where you put it. Let alone being seen as an evil person by the people of the Jianghu, I'm afraid that even the Ou Fan Empire would not trust you so much from the very beginning." Ling Xiao continued.
After hearing this, Jiu Mozhi immediately fell into deep thought.
But at this time, A Bi stopped, and so everyone stopped as well.
"Everyone, we have arrived." A Bi said.
After Ling Xiao heard this, he raised his head to look. He discovered that this was indeed a very big house, but it was not that luxurious, it was definitely not a Murong Residence.
But on the surface, Ling Xiao did not say anything, "It's been hard on you, Miss A Bi. May I ask if you could help inform them that we want to meet the Mu Rong family Lord?"
"Of course you can. Everyone, please come in and take a seat. I will go and announce them." After A Bi finished, he led everyone to the living room and sat down.
After A Bi left, Jiu Mozhi was the first to speak, "Sect Master Ling, this place is not the Mu Rong family's residence, you should have sensed it, why didn't you ask?"
"From the moment I noticed the change in A Bi's expression, I knew that she wouldn't bring us to the real Murong Residence." Ling Xiao said indifferently.
Hearing that, Jiu Mozhi asked puzzledly: "Why would she lie to us?"
"I have to ask you, didn't you have something you wanted to tell me just now?" Ling Xiao laughed faintly.
Jiu Mozhi was silent for a while, before he said: "The words that Sect Master Ling had said on the way did indeed remind me of something."
After Ling Xiao heard this, he laughed a few times and said: "Now, I have decided to remind you one more time. After investigation, the death of the Master Xuan Bei was caused by Murong Bo."
"What?" Was the Master Xuan Bei killed by him? " Jiu Mozhi's face was full of shock, which meant that since he was in the Mo Fan Country, he did not know what was happening here in time.
"Yes, that's why Murong Bo wishes that you can go to the Sky Dragon Temple and cause trouble for him. His only hope now is that the Mo Fan Kingdom will have a new enemy, and that way, it will be beneficial for his dream of restoring his country." Ling Xiao explained.
Hearing this, Jiu Mozhi immediately understood everything Murong Bo had told him before.
"So it turns out that this Murong Bo actually wanted to use me to instigate a war between the Sky Dragon Temple and the Mo Fan Country." Jiu Mozhi clenched his teeth and said.
When Ling Xiao heard this, he shook his head and said, "You're thinking too simply, this is just a fuse. The death of Master Xuan Bei is precisely what Murong Bo wanted to frame and blame him for.
After hearing Ling Xiao's explanation, Jiu Mozhi sat on the spot in a daze, unable to believe what he had heard. He never thought that he would be used by Murong Bo from head to toe.
"This damned Murong Bo, if I catch him, I will definitely skin him myself!" Jiu Mozhi said as he gnashed his teeth.
Hearing this, Ling Xiao just watched indifferently, without saying much. After all, the death of the Master Xuan Bei was already at an end. After finding out the truth, what he should do next, was not something he needed to consider or care about.
"This is?" Ling Xiao asked.
"Little girl Ah Zhu, you have known Gongzi for many years, you should be Sect Master Ling already. I heard him talk about you not long ago, but that time, it was all thanks to you. Ah Zhu said with a smile.
Ling Xiao heard and nodded: "No need to be so courteous, I am only speaking with the truth. What his father did wrong, has nothing much to do with him."
"Sect Master Ling is right, but why did Miss A Bi bring us to this kind of place? Didn't she say that she would bring us to the Mu Rong family?" Jiu Mozhi looked at A Bi and asked with a serious expression. He looked a little scary, probably because he knew that Murong Fu had always been using him.
Ling Xiao knew that Jiu Mozhi's temper was a little violent, so he naturally knew what he was going to do next. As a result, he put on an expression of watching a good show, and looked at the situation in front of him with interest.
A Bi didn't expect Jiu Mozhi to lose his temper so quickly, and said a little fearfully: "But Master of the Murong Family isn't home, it's a bit inconvenient."
"Did you notify them?" After Jiu Mozhi heard this, he forced himself to ask.
Hearing that, A Bi stammered: "We have announced it, when they return, we will inform all of you."
Upon seeing this, Ah Zhu also stood out and said: "Please be patient, please rest here first, I will go and get them to hurry over."
Then, Ah Zhu looked at Ling Xiao again, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Sect Master Ling. As Murong Fu's scoundrel, it's not appropriate for us to treat you like this, please forgive us."
"It doesn't matter. Since Master is not at home, it makes sense that we cannot meet again." Ling Xiao, on the other hand, did not mind as he waved his hand and laughed.
After that, Ah Zhu brought A Bi and left the hall, leaving behind the furious Jiu Mozhi and the bored others.
