In the pavilion, Mu Qing's sitting posture was a little stiff.
The past events Zhu Hongyan mentioned about her parents were increasingly similar to the tribulations Murong Jing had experienced in her childhood, which made Mu Qing not sure whether he should continue asking.
Zhu Hongyan looked at Mu Qing, who was suddenly silent, and seemed to understand what he was thinking. He sighed softly, shook his head and said, "I didn't expect them to take the initiative to bring up some past events because of the strange fire, but when I asked about my father When asked about what happened in that mountain forest, he fell silent."
Mu Qing expressed his understanding, "If our guess is true, then your father should be the most painful. You can find an opportunity to ask your aunt alone about this."
Zhu Hongyan smiled bitterly. She was not a person who could hide her thoughts. When she learned from Mu Qing that she might have a biological sister, she asked about it at that time.
Zhu Hongyan recalled the pain on Zhu Yushan's face when she heard her ask if she had a sister, and felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. However, after meeting Mu Qing, this discomfort turned into a strong expectation.
Mu Qing noticed that Zhu Hongyan was looking at him intently, but he didn't know what he was thinking. He even laughed strangely, feeling a little frightened. He took the initiative and said, "If you want me to cooperate with you to cover up the "Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame" The origin is really a trivial matter. I will find an opportunity to expose the aura of strange fire. "
"Now my aunt is Zhu Zong. This arrangement is just to make me less criticized by the elders in the clan, but I don't care."
Zhu Hongyan's eyes were quite bright, and he said with expectation: "This is what happened. I want to meet my sister in Zhuque City."
Mu Qing did not say that this was just a guess. In fact, after many details matched, he already believed in the relationship between Murong Jing and Zhu Hongyan. He pondered for a moment and said quite seriously: "Seeing that you are so sure of your relationship with Xiao Jing, are you Have you asked uncle?"
Zhu Hongyan nodded slightly: "My father didn't answer, but from his and aunt's expressions, I've determined that I have a sister."
Mu Qing asked again: "Then have you ever thought about why they keep hiding it from you?"
Zhu Hongyan frowned deeply and looked at Mu Qing without saying a word.
Mu Qing knew what was going on when he saw this look, and sighed: "Although your father has taken over the responsibilities of the head of the family, he has never been able to become the head of the Zhu family. Where did the resistance come from? Maybe that was what hurt your parents back then. The person behind the scenes."
Zhu Hongyan lowered his eyes slightly, and a sharp sword light danced deep in his eyes.
Mu Qing snorted lightly: "You have heard about Yun'er's mother at some point, right?"
Zhu Hongyan didn't know why Mu Qing changed the topic so drastically, so she looked at him blankly.
Mu Qingyan said concisely and concisely: "Uncle Ying Que has actually already collected evidence that it was the old man Ying Ze who secretly hurt Aunt Ye Lan, causing Aunt Ye Lan to sleep for so many years, but Ying Ze is still the elder of the Shenhui."
Zhu Hongyan understood what Mu Qing meant.
Mu Qing continued: "Unless Uncle Ying Que sets foot in the Holy King Realm himself, Tantai will definitely not be able to get rid of Ying Ze because of this incident, and there will not even be some serious punishment."
"I don't know what the situation is like with your Zhu family, but it's obvious that even those Zhu family elders who support your father will not
Because of what had happened, the Zhu family was once again in turmoil. In this world, unless it is a close relative, no one will support you unconditionally. Revenge is always your own business. "
At dusk, the skylight slowly shifts among the flowers, grass and green plants in the garden. The golden curtains and black shadows wax and wane, but it gives people a feeling of sudden enlightenment.
When Zhu Hongyan heard Mu Qing's words, she suddenly understood her father.
"My dad has been looking for a breakthrough these years."
Zhu Hongyan said.
Mu Qing nodded slowly: "I'm afraid Uncle Zhu is the one who has had the hardest time waiting. He doesn't want to bring up old things easily, and he also wants to protect you. Only when you truly set foot in the Holy King Realm will the situation truly change."
Zhu Hongyan looked sideways. Ever since he knew that Murong Jing was probably Zhu Yushan's daughter, Mu Qing had now changed his name to his father and uncle.
Zhu Hongyan snorted softly: "You have talked around so much.
In fact, you just want me to stop paying attention and not go to your Suzaku City. "
Mu Qing showed an extremely sincere face, pointed at his own face and said: "I have made many enemies. Not to mention many people from far away, the Gu family and the Lin family don't like me. Suzaku City has long been a place of right and wrong. If it were Because of your relationship, people from the Zhu family are also here to cause trouble, do I, as the city lord, think I should be treated as such?"
Zhu Hongyan frowned slightly, obviously still wanting to go to Suzaku City, and said depressedly: "If I don't go this time, how long will I have to wait? I asked Senior Dongfang, if the negotiation with Mrs. Wang goes well, what about the secret realm? After the end, the people from the Dongfang family will go back to Suzaku City with you directly. Mrs. Wang invited all the forces to Suzaku City as guests in the main hall, why can't I go?"
Mu Qing grinned and said helplessly: "Everyone knows that the Dongfang family needs fish scale crystals to cultivate, but you don't need them, so why come to a small and remote place like Suzaku City?"
Zhu Hongyan glanced at him and said, "If you want to find reasons, I can find many. Have you forgotten the big formation under the Suzaku City?"
Mu Qing realized that he could no longer persuade his sister-in-law, and couldn't help but sigh at Jian Xiu's bad temper, and leaned against the railing with a slumped face.
Knowing that Mu Qing had compromised, Zhu Hongyan put on a smile, blinked and said, "Don't worry, I will never let anyone pay attention to my sister."
After Zhu Hongyan finished speaking, he stood up and prepared to leave.
Mu Qing quickly asked: "What do you want to do? You can always tell me this landlord in advance, right?"
Zhu Hongyan, who had already walked outside the pavilion, turned around and smiled, "I'm not going to say anything. I came to you, which is enough for others to find reasons for me."
"!"
Mu Qing's face looked a little ugly. Only now did he understand why Zhu Hongyan was misunderstood by Wei Shengxiao and the others without even a single explanation. It turned out that he had already thought of all this on the way here.
"Where's the uncle?"
"...Since my father refuses to tell me what happened back then, I will naturally not reveal the secret you told me to him. So he may also think that I like you."
When Zhu Hongyan said this, he felt a little embarrassed. Under Mu Qing's angry gaze, he turned his face to one side and said, "The only person who needs to explain this matter is my sister. Don't worry, I will explain it to her personally when the time comes."
Zhu Hongyan came to Mu Qing with her worries. At this time, her worries were gone, and she was ready to leave happily. Mu Qing looked at her back and was about to disappear at the entrance of the garden, and then remembered the current situation of everyone, and quickly caught up and reminded: "Ming The danger in the Quan Secret Realm may exceed everyone's expectations, so you and Zhu Hao, brother and sister, must be careful!"
Zhu Hongyan raised his eyebrows slightly and chuckled, "I thought you were going to persuade me to give up."
Mu Qing shook his head. He still understood the principle of not doing to others what you don't want others to do to you. He said in a low voice: "The great elder Tantai seems to be using us contestants to lure out the guard, and the guard is not friendly. You Try not to try to contact the other party."
Zhu Hongyan nodded to indicate that he had taken note of it, but quickly reacted and looked at him, "What about you?"
Mu Qing sighed softly: "You are just my sister-in-law, why do you care so much?"
Zhu Hongyan raised his eyebrows, became angry immediately, turned around and left: "You are not worthy of being my brother-in-law!"
This time, Mu Qing sent Zhu Hongyan all the way to the teleportation array. He was relieved when he saw that she had really disappeared.
Suddenly a woman's chuckle sounded behind him: "Why do you feel that you are afraid of Miss Zhu?"
"Of course I'm afraid this guy will cause trouble for me."
Mu Qing said in his heart, then turned around and bowed respectfully: "I have met Elder Xuan."
Tantai Xuan, who was supposed to have left Abbot Island long ago, appeared here for some reason. Mu Qing was cautious in his heart, but kept calm on his face.
Tantai Xuan's eyes were filled with smiles. She looked Mu Qing up and down with a deep look, and motioned Mu Qing to follow her. As she walked towards an unfamiliar path, she said, "Privately, I don't like people calling me elder. You Since he is Xiao Yun’s man, he is my junior, please call me aunt from now on.”
aunt?
Mu Qing Weiwei
Lowering his head, he knew without looking that he couldn't control his expression and looked a little uncomfortable.
Tantai Xuan seemed to have eyes behind him, and he chuckled: "Why do you feel uncomfortable? Practitioners don't pay much attention to age, and they make friends on their own terms. Aren't you still treating the Qingyu Sword Immortal as brother and sister? Is it commensurate?”
Mu Qing followed Tantai Xuan for a while, and gradually heard the sound of waves surging in his ears. He became more confused and finally couldn't help asking: "Xuan... Auntie, why did you take me to the beach? "
Tantai Xuan suddenly stopped and turned around, the smile on his face became brighter, but when it fell in Mu Qing's eyes, it became more and more unclear. Only when he arrived at this ghostly place where no one could be seen, Mu Qing began to regret it.
Tantai Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly with a hint of danger, and said with a half-smile, "Are you starting to regret it now?"
Mu Qing looked at Tantai Xuan's expression, and his tense body gradually relaxed, which surprised Tantai Xuan: "Aren't you afraid that I will do something to you?"
Mu Qing said honestly: "This is on Abbot Island, Master Lan should know this place."
"Boring."
Tantai Xuan put his hands behind his back, shook his head and said, "Your strength is pretty good, and even I can't understand your methods. But if I really want to kill you, Wei Shenglan can't save you."
Mu Qing remained silent and did not make any provocation.
The reason why he followed Tantai Xuan was actually based on his intuition, and this intuition was based on the story he knew. If Tantai Xuan was really conspiring with others, he would have stopped it based on who he is now. Nothing.
Tantai Xuan looked at Mu Qing quietly. At a certain moment, her eyebrows suddenly wrinkled because she saw a trace of sympathy on Mu Qing's face. She shook her head and said, "That girl Wei Shenglan used to like following me everywhere. She ran away, but now she is staying in one place and unwilling to move, but she should know a lot of things, has she told you all?"
Mu Qing thought that Tantai Xuan wanted to know from him whether Wei Shenglan had any preparations. He said honestly: "Master Lan advised us not to participate in the trial and just stay in her formation. Apart from that, she Nothing was done."
Tantai Xuan found it interesting, "Are you explaining for her?"
Mu Qing sighed and said no more.
"Okay." Tantai Xuan flipped his wrist and threw a jade token towards Mu Qing, "I don't like your temper because you are too old and sullen, and I won't waste our time anymore."
Mu Qing realized that the jade token was not dangerous, so he reached out to take it and asked, "What is this?"
Tantai Xuan said: "This is the key to activate the Penglai. You will leave here tonight." "
Mu Qing looked at Tantai Xuan in surprise.
Tantai Xuan smiled slightly: "You don't have such a big reputation. I did this for Ye Yun and also for someone to be able to work with peace of mind."
Mu Qing's heart sank, "Are you and Uncle Ying really a team?"
