The whole family is full of evil disciples, Master, don't panic, your disciples are here

Ji Xiuzhu tried hard to force a smile and replied to the visitor: "When I come here again, I need to pay a visit to His Majesty. But this time, my master and I have something important to attend to..."

Before Ji Xiuzhu could finish his words, the soldier behind him pressed his lower back with a spear.

"Since Sect Master Ji already knows, then there is no need to tell us." The man interrupted Ji Xiuzhu directly, "His Majesty has ordered you to come in as soon as possible. I think Sect Master Ji and His Majesty have not seen each other for a long time, so you must have a lot to say."

After saying that, the man looked coldly at Ji Xiuzhu and his two disciples, then said to the surrounding soldiers, "Take them away."

Ji Xiuzhu sighed inwardly, it seemed that he had to meet His Majesty today.

So she curled the corners of her mouth.

Seeing Ji Xiuzhu curled his lips, Qin Lan scolded the man: "Who are you to dare to speak to my master like that!"

Seeing that a conflict was about to happen, Ji Xiuzhu grabbed Qin Lan's hand, patted it gently, and signaled Qin Lan not to be angry.

"Don't be rude." Ji Xiuzhu shook his head and said, "Since His Majesty has invited me, I should go and see him. Let's go, please lead the way."

The man shook his head at the soldiers, and the soldiers put away their spears. Then they followed Ji Xiuzhu and his two disciples towards the City Lord's Mansion.

Yungui City, inside the City Lord’s Mansion.

"Master, shouldn't we go to the Imperial Palace to meet His Majesty? I think the place we are going to is called the City Lord's Mansion."

Qin Lan supported Ji Xiuzhu while leaning close to him and whispered softly in his ear.

Ji Xiuzhu heard this, but his expression did not change. He responded to Qin Lan in a low voice: "Don't panic, I think His Majesty is on a private visit, so he is temporarily staying in the City Lord's Mansion."

She pondered over it secretly in her heart, but felt that there must be something fishy about this matter.

After entering the City Lord's Mansion, they were taken to a large living room.

Ji Xiuzhu groped for a place to sit down, then took out the spiritual fruit that Qin Lan had prepared earlier and started eating it with a crunch.

Qin Lan looked around, taking in the layout of the room. Suddenly, his eyes stopped on a painting.

The person in the painting actually looks somewhat similar to his master!

Just as Qin Lan raised her hand to touch the portrait, an anxious voice came from outside the house: "Oh, Sect Master Ji, long time no see."

Upon hearing this, Ji Xiuzhu had no intention of getting up. Instead, he just ate the spiritual fruit in his hand.

Qin Lan silently withdrew the hand she had just extended, and then stood upright behind Ji Xiuzhu.

Mo Yunyu did the same and stood behind Ji Xiuzhu.

The two of them, one on the left and one on the right, looked like the left and right protectors.

After a while, the source of the voice, which could only be heard but not seen, appeared in front of Ji Xiuzhu.

"Oh, oh, the distinguished guest has arrived, but I, the city lord, am the first to lose my status. I hope Master Ji will not blame me for being late in welcoming you." The city lord bowed to Ji Xiuzhu and greeted him with a smile.

When his eyes swept over Mo Yunyu and Qin Lan behind Ji Xiuzhu, his eyes were full of affirmation.

"Master Ji's disciple is truly a talented person." The city lord said as he walked towards the main seat.

After they were seated, the city lord asked casually, "Which of these two is the sect master's second disciple, Mo Yunyu?"

Ji Xiuzhu's heart skipped a beat: This old man asked cleverly, and it seemed like he was just casually asking for pleasantries, but in fact, he had other intentions.

Ji Xiuzhu did not answer, but continued to eat the spiritual fruit in his hand.

Compared to this mortal town, although the Shenyin Sect is a little down and out now, she, Ji Xiuzhu, is the leader of an ancient sect after all, so she doesn't have to answer anything she doesn't want to.

After all, as her second disciple, without his own consent, ten true immortals could not force him to do something he didn't want to do.

Mo Yunyu didn't say anything either, because the city lord's intention was too obvious.

Besides, he had no thoughts about his fiancée whom he had never met, so there was no way he could admit his engagement with her right now!

Neither the master nor the disciple wanted to pay attention to the city lord, but when the city lord was about to lose his temper, Qin Lan foolishly started talking to him.

"Why did the City Lord ask my Second Senior Brother?"

When the city lord saw Qin Lan's reply, he instantly guessed that the person standing on Ji Xiuzhu's right was Mo Yunyu.

He began to look at Mo Yunyu carefully.

Mo Yunyu had black hair tied up with an emerald green headband. Although he didn't wear his hair in a pin, it couldn't hide the boy's godlike appearance.

On the cuff of his emerald green traveler's robe was embroidered a green bamboo, which was dazzling yet elegant.

He has an upright posture, is about 1.8 meters tall, and stands there like a pine or cypress, straight and proud.

After looking at Mo Yunyu, the city lord's mouth instantly grinned from ear to ear. Then he gestured quietly towards the screen beside him, and the shadow of a maid trotted away from behind the screen.

Mo Yunyu noticed this action, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he stared at Ji Xiuzhu's profile without blinking.

Although Ji Xiuzhu couldn't see it, she heard the noise when the maid left.

I think he reported the good news to the king after learning about Mo Yunyu's situation.

She guessed that King Liu Hanyan came here this time to ask her to break off the engagement.

But because of the face of a big country, she was too embarrassed to say anything openly. So she asked the city lord to come and test him. If Mo Yunyu was not as good as she imagined, the previously arranged marriage would be cancelled. Of course, the messenger was the city lord.

But if it is discovered that Mo Yunyu is outstanding, then Liu Hanyan will naturally appear after the person who goes to report the news comes back.

When he thought of Liu Hanyan's appearance, Mo Yunyu's fiancée, whom he had never met, would also surely appear.

If the girl falls in love with Mo Yunyu when they meet, and Mo Yunyu has no interest in her, how to deal with the follow-up will be a big and tricky problem.

Thinking of this, Ji Xiuzhu felt a headache.

So he couldn't help but take a deep breath and hissed.

Hearing Ji Xiuzhu's hissing sound, Qin Lan immediately stepped forward and half-knelt in front of Ji Xiuzhu and asked, "Master, are you feeling unwell?"

Ji Xiuzhu was stunned.

Is this boy flying?

The voice was just behind me on the left side, but now it is in front of me?

Ji Xiuzhu pulled his thoughts back and waved his hand. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a cold and domineering female voice.

"I haven't seen you for many years. I didn't expect to see you again. Sect Master Ji seems to have some problems with his eyes."

Ji Xiuzhu smiled slightly when she heard this. She knew that Liu Hanyan had come. Although the visitor was the King of Hanyou Country, she did not intend to move at all while sitting.

Seeing that Ji Xiuzhu didn't move, Qin Lan and Mo Yunyu didn't move either.

On the contrary, when the city lord saw Liu Hanyan and the people behind her, he hurriedly came down from the main seat, stepped forward and kowtowed, saying: "Wang Ji greets your majesty and the princess."

After saying "no need to be polite", Liu Hanyan glanced at Ji Xiuzhu who had his eyes covered with a black cloth, and then sat down in the main seat with great gusto.

The city lord stood up to express his gratitude, then quietly sat down in the seat opposite Ji Xiuzhu.

The girl following behind Liu Hanyan followed behind her and stood beside her.

The girl was wearing a Guangdong embroidered skirt, with a graceful figure and a pair of big watery eyes that were full of clarity. From time to time, her gaze fell on the expressionless Mo Yunyu.

Mo Yunyu seemed to have noticed something. He raised his eyes and glared at the girl. The girl instantly lowered her head in shock, but the love in her eyes could not be hidden. Even her round and fair oval face was instantly dyed with a blush.

Liu Hanyan turned her head inadvertently, and when she saw the girl's expression, she instantly laughed.

"Master Ji, I haven't asked you yet, how are you doing recently?" Although Liu Hanyan greeted Ji Xiuzhu, her eyes were looking at Ji Xiuzhu's two disciples.

Liu Hanyan looked at Mo Yunyu. The more she looked, the more she liked him and she kept nodding her head.

While looking at her, he took the girl's hand and patted it with satisfaction.

The girl was shy to begin with, and when Liu Hanyan clapped her hands like that, she lowered her head even more shyly.

Afterwards, Liu Hanyan shifted her gaze to Qin Lan, who was squatting beside and rubbing Ji Xiuzhu's hands. But when she saw Qin Lan, she was stunned for a moment, but then she regained her composure.

But during this meal, Ji Xiuzhu noticed something strange.

Although she couldn't see, she never felt wrong when someone looked at her.

Ji Xiuzhu said: "Thanks to your majesty, I am doing fine. However, there is one thing I don't understand. Does your majesty recognize my three disciples?"

When Liu Hanyan heard this, she was shocked.

What a keen insight!

Even though he is blind, he can still notice what she does. Could this be the legendary immortal?

However, Liu Hanyan was able to become the queen, but if she was thrown off balance by such a small matter, her role as queen would have been in vain.

She calmly pulled the girl aside and said with a smile, "Master Ji, what are you talking about? I have been in Hanyou Country for several years and have never left the country. How could I have met your beloved disciple? Master Ji is so busy that he has never come to Hanyou Country to see us in these years."

After Liu Hanyan finished speaking, she pushed the girl and said, "Qing'er, this is the Sect Master Ji that mother and you often mentioned. I think he is your fiancé, you should go forward and meet him."

When the girl heard this, her smile widened. She said "yes" weakly and slowly walked up to Ji Xiuzhu and the others.

The girl bowed her head and greeted Ji Xiuzhu and the others one by one: "Liu Shuqing, greetings to Sect Master Ji. Brother A Yu, little brother."

Seeing this, Mo Yunyu said nothing, just said "hmm" coldly, and then nodded in return.

Qin Lan was stunned when he heard someone calling him "little brother" and even stopped pinching Ji Xiuzhu's hand. It was only after Ji Xiuzhu patted his hand that he looked up and bowed to Liu Shuqing.

But he just bowed and continued to massage Ji Xiuzhu's arm.

When Liu Shuqing saw Qin Lan and Mo Yunyu's cold attitude towards him, he was suddenly filled with disappointment.

Especially when she saw Mo Yunyu’s cold face and his “keep away from strangers” attitude, she felt a little hurt.

Seeing this, Liu Hanyan felt a little unhappy and her hands in her sleeves clenched into fists.

Ji Xiuzhu felt the air around him getting colder, and instantly felt that something was wrong, so he fumbled to help Liu Shuqing up, and then fumbled to sit back down.

"Qing'er, this is a good name. These disciples of mine have lived with me in the mountains for many years and have never been far away, so it is inevitable that they are a little shy. Boys are slow to warm up, so Qing'er, don't bother with them."

As he spoke, Ji Xiuzhu reached into his storage bag and fumbled around.

Finally, he picked out the smallest thing, which felt like a bracelet, and thought it would be a perfect gift for a girl, so he pulled Liu Shuqing over and handed it to her.

"I came here in a hurry and didn't prepare any gifts. I'll give this to you as a gift for meeting you."

Liu Shuqing originally wanted to refuse, but when she saw the thing in her hand, she looked up at Liu Hanyan in surprise.

Liu Hanyan also unconsciously looked at Liu Shuqing's hand. When she saw the bracelet in Liu Shuqing's hand, her pupils were shocked.

"Master Ji, is this a bit too expensive for my son?"

Ji Xiuzhu was stunned when he heard this.

precious?

Isn’t this just a bracelet? How can it be valuable?

Could it be that this bracelet is inlaid with diamonds?

At this time, the city lord also saw clearly the bracelet in Liu Shuqing's hand, and followed suit.

"This is the Soul Locking Chain! It's a protective magic weapon! Even if a powerful person in the Spiritual Transformation Realm attacks with all his strength, it can withstand it! I never thought that the Shenyin Sect has such a rich foundation and Sect Master Ji is so generous!"

When Ji Xiuzhu heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched.

She remembered that this chain was obtained from Mu Yao. She just thought the bracelet was pretty, so she kept it. Unexpectedly, it was also a magical weapon to protect herself.

Ji Xiuzhu smiled awkwardly. She didn't expect that this small bracelet was so precious.

She had just chosen a gift at random, but now it felt a bit awkward.

Seeing that Ji Xiuzhu seemed to have no idea what she had given him, Liu Hanyan's eyes flashed with cunning, and she said, "Since Sect Master Ji loves me so much, how can I take advantage of you? I have a gift in return."

As she spoke, she clapped her hands, and a young general came in carrying a tray covered with a red cloth.

Qin Lan jumped up when she saw the person coming: "It's you? You rude guy!"

"Alan, don't be rude! This is the God of War of Hanyou Country, General Lin Xiao."

Mo Yunyu pulled Qin Lan back and scolded her.

When Qin Lan heard this and saw that Ji Xiuzhu also acquiesced to Mo Yunyu's scolding of him, she just waited there with a wronged look on her face.

The rude guy Qin Lan mentioned was none other than the young general who escorted the few people to the City Lord's Mansion, and also the God of War Lin Xiao of Hanyou Country.

To put it bluntly, he was not only Liu Hanyan's lover, but also her lover kept outside the palace.

On the surface, he is the national god of war, but in reality, he is Liu Shuqing's little dad.

However, Liu Hanyan hid him very well, and no one knows the relationship between them until now.

Ji Xiuzhu knew all this from the extra chapter of the original book.

That is the hidden plot that was revealed when Mo Yunyu died for the heroine. It was originally just to explain the situation of Mo Yunyu's fiancee's family, after all, it was a special story.

But there was such a plot written in it. At that time, Ji Xiuzhu didn’t understand why the author wrote it this way, but now he seems to understand.

Lin Xiao came up to Ji Xiuzhu, pulled aside the red cloth, and revealed a bead in the tray.

The bead was blood red all over, and one could faintly see a trace of dragon energy in it.

Liu Hanyan introduced: "This pearl is called the Soul Condensing Pearl. It was given to me by Master Ji when the late emperor was still alive. It is said that it can condense the spirit of a dying person. I am just a mortal and have never had any use for it. Rather than letting the pearl gather dust, I will give it to Master Ji's second disciple as a return gift today, as a betrothal gift to my future husband."

After saying that, she looked at Mo Yunyu meaningfully.

Ji Xiuzhu curled his lips when he heard this.

Although this thing is not as good as the Soul-Returning Fruit, it is indeed a good thing for preserving Mo Yunyu's soul.

But the terrifying thing when you think about it carefully is, how did Liu Hanyan know that Mo Yunyu needed something to condense his soul?

And why was it presented to them when they passed through Hanyou Country?

If they get this thing, they won't have to go to Zhicao City or head north.

All these things are too much of a coincidence. She injured her eyes in the previous town, which is thousands of miles away from here. If there hadn't been spies following her from the beginning, the news of her blindness would have spread too quickly.

Moreover, Liu Hanyan said that she had never left Hanyou Country. Could it be that the rumor about her blindness was spread by the ghost of the Taoist priest?

But even so, why did the Taoist ghost pass on this? Was he trying to embarrass her to death?

It’s unrealistic!

Ji Xiuzhu was puzzled, and so was Mo Yunyu.

Mo Yunyu frowned slightly. If it were ten years ago, he would have chosen to accept the bead without hesitation.

But now, he already has a gem, so why would he need this substitute?

Moreover, it was all too coincidental.

Along the way, everything seemed to be deliberately arranged.

The Taoists set up an array to take their lives, but the king seemed to want to stop them from going north.

There are too many mysteries here, so we have to be on guard.

What's even more ridiculous is that he has a fiancée.
