40: The crowd is always on the front line
"Senior, what do you mean by this? Are you trying to imprison me here?"
Chu Mo feigned composure.
"First, I am your Senior Sister, Nangong Yan, not some Senior. Furthermore, since you Cultivated Senior Brother Shen's Haoran Righteous Qi Skill, you are a Disciple of Xiao Zhu Peak.
And as a Disciple of Xiao Zhu Peak, where else do you think you're going?"
This was the most Nangong Yan had ever spoken, but her voice remained as cold as ever.
However, from these words, Chu Mo also gleaned a lot of useful information.
Is the Haoran Righteous Qi Skill Senior Brother Shen Qingqiu's Cultivation Technique, and not Xuanxiao Sect's Cultivation Technique?!
Also, what kind of logic is it that Cultivating this Cultivation Technique makes one a member of Xiao Zhu Peak? Is it to prevent others from spreading this Cultivation Technique to other people?
All sorts of doubts swirled in Chu Mo's mind.
Just then, Nangong Yan spoke again.
"Han Li, I've heard about your situation."
"Although your background is very tragic, you originate from Seven Kill Hall, and to be honest, I don't trust you."
"If Senior Brother Shen hadn't been willing to give you a chance, I would have killed you long ago!"
A hint of Killing Intent was mixed in her cold voice, and every word was a precise jab, full of targeted meaning.
It was clear that Nangong Yan harbored a great grudge against Seven Kill Hall.
"I'm an undercover agent!"
"I don't trust you!"
The two stared at each other.
The air was terrifyingly still, as if Killing Intent was brewing, and even the white jade floor was covered in a thin layer of frost.
Chu Mo's eyebrows were also frosted, and the Qi he exhaled from his nose was visible as white mist.
Just as the two were at loggerheads, a delicate laugh came from the second floor.
"Great Senior Sister, Junior Brother Han Li has only just set foot on Xiao Zhu Peak today. Are you already giving him a hard time?"
Jiang Lingsu leaped down from the second floor and appeared beside Nangong Yan, examining Chu Mo with great interest.
She wore a luxurious brocade black dress, its hem fanning out like flowing clouds, accentuating her graceful figure while making her appear even more captivating.
The moment he saw her, Chu Mo came to a conclusion.
This woman doesn't seem like a good person!
As if sensing Chu Mo observing her, Jiang Lingsu moved and appeared in front of Chu Mo, her soft, boneless hands gently pressing against his chest.
"Junior Brother Han Li, you seem very nervous! Your heart is pounding, why? Do you like me?"
Like you, my ass!
If you're so capable, take your hand off my heart!
At this moment, Chu Mo only felt a current of Qi flowing from Jiang Lingsu's hand into his heart.
Sure enough, this woman is not a good person!
Jiang Lingsu slowly raised her right hand and gently touched Chu Mo's lips, "Junior Brother Han Li, besides you and Senior Brother Shen, everyone on Xiao Zhu Peak is female, so you must control your eyes, otherwise, I can't guarantee that your eyes will still be on your face."
Chu Mo: "..."
Damn it!
I want to leave Xiao Zhu Peak, the farther the better. Is it still too late now?
It seems there are no normal people on Xiao Zhu Peak!
"Jiang Lingsu, why aren't you Cultivating? What are you doing in the main hall?"
Jiang Lingsu's appearance brought a hint of anger to Nangong Yan's face; clearly, there was bad blood between the two.
Although Chu Mo, as a seasoned spectator, was very willing to enjoy the drama between the two.
But...
When faced with two beings who could easily toy with him, this drama wasn't worth watching. Survival was paramount!
"Great Senior Sister, wasn't it just that I accidentally ruined your meticulously arranged flower sea last time? Do you have to be like this?
How about I compensate you with another flower sea, and you can ask Senior Brother to see it again.
If you're too shy, you can let this newly initiated Junior Brother go."
Jiang Lingsu walked behind Nangong Yan, her small hands pressing her shoulders, and whispered in her ear.
Oh ho! A love triangle... no, a love square!
Is this the protagonist's treatment? I love it, I love it!
But please let me leave first.
It's like a drama, I can't handle it!
Chu Mo, who witnessed everything, truly wanted to leave here at this moment. He was afraid that if he wasn't careful, he would ignite both sides.
Then, the two would fight, and he would suffer!
"Jiang Lingsu, I'm telling you! I'm not done with you about last time, and Han Li is someone Senior Brother Shen asked us to pay close attention to. Don't you dare delay Senior Brother Shen's important matters!"
Nangong Yan's face was so dark it looked like it could drip water. It was clear that she was truly bothered by Jiang Lingsu interrupting her date with Shen Qingqiu last time.
Killing Intent surging, she wasn't even pretending anymore.
"Alright, alright! Always talking about killing everyone in the world for you, that must be what you people came up with!" Chu Mo secretly complained in his heart, but he didn't dare to make any other moves.
The Cultivation of both of them far exceeded his own. He even suspected that the weakest on Xiao Zhu Peak were perhaps only him, Luo Qingdie, and two unknown masters in seclusion.
"I wonder if there are any spectators in the group who like watching women fight. Should I start a live stream?"
Following the principle of sharing the drama, Chu Mo decisively opened his personal live stream.
As soon as the live stream opened, two people entered it.
The System prompts: Emperor and Royal Relative Number One has entered the live stream.
The System prompts: Rating 3.0 Lying-to-Win Dog Emperor has entered the live stream.
As soon as the two entered, they became lively.
Rating 3.0 Lying-to-Win Dog Emperor: I've successfully installed a Puppet Emperor. You wouldn't believe the looks those ministers gave me when I announced my abdication and abdication; they looked like they'd seen a ghost! I even took a screenshot, I'll send it for you to see.
Rating 3.0 Lying-to-Win Dog Emperor: [Image]
An image floated across the bullet screen.
It was a bird's-eye view of a court session. The ministers, both civil and military, had eyes as wide as copper bells, looking incredibly comical.
Additionally, Chu Mo also saw two military officers with their mouths open, about to say something.
He didn't even need to guess; just by looking at their mouth shapes, he knew.
WCNM!
Military officers are indeed military officers, very direct.
Emperor and Royal Relative Number One: You pulled a stunt like that in court, and those civil and military officials didn't beat you to death on the spot?
Rating 3.0 Lying-to-Win Dog Emperor: No! My wife was by my side, who would dare to be presumptuous? Do you really think an army of 800,000 is vegetarian?
Rookie Cannon Fodder A: Actually, my original intention was for you to feign death and retreat behind the scenes. Now that you've pulled this abdication stunt, I can only say you really know how to play. After you leave, won't this newly enthroned Emperor be dealt with by the civil and military officials?
Rating 3.0 Lying-to-Win Dog Emperor: Let him be dealt with! After I installed this guy, he actually told me to divorce my wife, saying he was the Emperor now.
What an earth-shattering statement! I even wondered if his brain had been kicked by a donkey.
However, my wife is also a simpleton. She said something about a woman not serving two husbands, but if the monarch wants a minister to die, the minister must die, and she immediately wanted to commit suicide to preserve her purity.
Hiss!
Chu Mo gasped. After just a few sentences, he felt that Qi Xuan's side was even more exciting than his own!
But it was a pity that Qi Xuan hadn't started a live stream at that time, otherwise, he would have definitely gone to support him and tipped two rockets.
To make Qi Xuan slap that Puppet Emperor awake and let him know that power brings authority, not the other way around.
However, Qi Xuan's wife was also quite eccentric, but considering that she had an army of 800,000 besieging the imperial city and only wanted to be an empress.
Her thought process really couldn't be overly criticized!
Emperor and Royal Relative Number One: And then? Did you slap him?
Spectators are always on the front lines.
Chu Mo felt that he could finish eating Qi Xuan's drama first, and then go to eat the drama of the two women in front of him.
