Chapter 100 - Murong Fu's departure
After hearing Ling Xiao's explanation, Jiu Mozhi suddenly understood and nodded his head.
Then, Ling Xiao continued to speak, "And don't think that the Mu Rong family doesn't allow outsiders to investigate, those who want to know the truth will honestly leave. From the moment I entered this mountain area, I had already noticed that something was wrong.
"In this way, as long as the news gets out, those people who couldn't wait any longer will immediately rush in to see what is going on. At that time, even the Emperor himself wouldn't be able to hide the news that Murong Bo's mausoleum was an empty tomb." Ling Xiao continued to speak with a smile.
When everyone heard this, they all had the same expression.
Ling Xiao's explanation was very clear, so there was no doubt about it. When Murong Bo's mausoleum was in chaos, they quietly left.
After exiting the mountain area, the group did not immediately leave, but at Ling Xiao's suggestion, they went to a small tavern. This place was not far from Murong Bo's mausoleum, and at the same time, was not very close, but as long as there was any big news, they would definitely be able to find out about it in time.
"I thought we were going to leave this place completely." Murong Fu looked at the table full of good wine and dishes, and was a little at a loss. He had heard Ling Xiao say that he would be leaving, but he had not expected to be sitting here waiting for news.
Actually, when Murong Fu came into contact with Ling Xiao, he realized that no matter how much he rotated his brain, he would always have to slow down a bit, and he was unable to timely react to whatever Ling Xiao was trying to express, whether it was his intentions or his thoughts.
However, Ling Xiao could guess what Murong Fu was thinking, he smiled and shook his head: "Don't worry about eating, I don't have any other thoughts, I've only been busy for so long, I just wanted to have a good meal."
"Really?" Murong Fu actually couldn't believe his own ears, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Ling Xiao was really a person that couldn't be guessed at.
Ling Xiao nodded and said, "Of course, with such a huge commotion, all of the rewards are on us. So what if we come over to reward ourselves?
Jiu Mozhi then said, "I agree with Sect Master Ling's thoughts very much. At least to me, if I cannot personally see Mu Rong family's downfall, my heart will still be a little unsettled."
Hearing that, Murong Fu suddenly felt that it was the truth, thus he looked at the table full of good wine and dishes, and his appetite rose again.
"Alright, alright. This table of good wine and good dishes can't attract your attention?" Take your chopsticks and eat, otherwise it won't be good if you get cold later. " Ling Xiao urged.
Although these dishes didn't look as good as the other delicacies in the city, they were at least cooked by the farmers themselves. The taste was not considered delicious, but it was definitely enough to make one's appetite rise.
According to Ling Xiao's plan, everyone would stay here for a few more days after eating.
Early this morning, Ling Xiao had just returned from strolling around the grounds a few times with Wang Yuyan when he saw Jiu Mozhi waiting for him at the entrance of the inn.
Seeing the excited Jiu Mozhi, Ling Xiao didn't even need to guess to know what had happened.
On the other hand, Murong Fu who was at the side had a very calm expression, but the uneasiness in his eyes betrayed the uneasiness in his heart.
Ling Xiao did not question Jiu Mozhi. Instead, he stepped forward and patted Murong Fu's shoulders, and said: "Since what has happened has already happened, then do not look at it anymore.
Upon hearing this, Jiu Mozhi was completely confused. Not knowing what was going on between Ling Xiao and Murong Fu, he helplessly scratched his head and said: "Sect Master Ling, just as you said, there really are many forces that have barged into Murong Bo's mausoleum. The news of the empty tomb has also quickly spread throughout the entire Jianghu.
Hearing this, Ling Xiao smiled and said: "That's right, I want to see just how capable Mu Rong family is. To be able to hide under the eyes of so many people, I think those people that are preparing to help Mu Rong family will definitely choose to refuse it or to cut off their relationship."
At this time, Jiu Mozhi suddenly thought of something. He turned around to look at Murong Fu who was standing next to him, raised his eyebrows and said, "If it's like this, does this mean that Murong Fu's situation is also very dangerous?"
Ling Xiao heard and laughed as he shook his head, "At the very least, he wouldn't lose his life. It's a good thing that Gongzi Murong has had a pretty good life these past few years, and hasn't offended too many people. As long as he has a sincere attitude, there shouldn't be too much of a problem."
"Sect Master Ling, will you help me?" Murong Fu took a deep breath, and looked at Ling Xiao imploringly.
Hearing that, Ling Xiao shook his head: "I am afraid I cannot comply with your wishes, this is a matter of your family, at the same time it is also a matter of yours, since you chose to betray me, it means that you have made the preparations to bear all of this. Fortunately, your relationship with your family is not too close, and the rest is up to you to see how you handle it, grievances will definitely occur, but it does not cause you to lose your life."
Regarding Ling Xiao's words, Murong Fu was naturally clear. Ling Xiao would not help him, at least for now.
Looking at the melancholy faced Murong Fu, Ling Xiao helplessly said: "Everyone says that you two are the same, Murong Bei Qiao Feng, but in reality, when compared to Sect Master Qiao, you are really lacking by a large margin."
Hearing this, Murong Fu's eyes lit up. These words directly struck at his heart, towards the title that was passed down in the Jianghu, it was also a huge concern for him. He wanted this title, but he understood in his heart, that there was indeed a huge gap between him and Qiao Feng.
It was unknown if what Ling Xiao had said was too much of a shock to Murong Fu, but the originally decadent Murong Fu immediately became energetic, and said solemnly: "Sect Master Ling, I will take care of this matter myself."
"Being confident is a good thing, but you have to be careful. I'll be waiting for your good news." Seeing that, Ling Xiao laughed and said.
After that, Murong Fu bid his farewell and left, as though he was worried that if he stayed any longer, he would be found by some other powerhouses, and then find a way to get all the information of the Mu Rong family from his mouth. Hence, the current situation was extremely dangerous for him, and the only thing he could do was to find a place to hide.
It was said that his family wasn't close to him, but outsiders wouldn't think so. It was normal for his father to pay back his debts, so he had to live on until the storm subsided.
