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.”
