Chapter 328 – Does the information still need to be there?
Xue Mu listened to his sister’s report back and was momentarily dumbfounded.
Truth be told one of his biggest imaginary enemies this time was Qin Wuyi, and he even felt that Shadow Wing couldn’t say for sure that Qin Wuyi was bound to mess things up.
But ……
Is he misunderstood her?
It’s not that she’s not converging her heart to the people, but instead it’s the bright moon shining in the ditch.
I thought I was in command of a stable military mind calculating the enemy, after half a day, it turned out to be their own persecution paranoia?
But her mind ……
Xue Mu stood in a daze under the moon, looking up at the sky, his mind was really strange, and for a long time he did not know what he was thinking.
Zhuo Qingqing stood to the side, accompanying him in silence. Since the breakthrough of that relationship, now Zhuo Qingqing is inseparable, completely a personal guard.
“Dad.” Curry Night swept in from the side.
Xue Mu settled down and asked, “How is your senior sister?”
“Elder sister’s natural talent is hard to find in the world, a small adaptation is not in the cards la.” Curry Night laughed: “Now you can think of your senior sister as a divine machine war puppet that only has the Realm of Transformation Yun but has the power of Cave Void …… Yes, it is a divine machine war puppet that has a spirit, there is no realm to speak of, it is just a forceful and powerful move with a fast speed and a high level of insight hahahaha … …”
“If we talk about dolls …… I think you are a little more like it.”
Curry Night boarded her little face and looked up to glare at him.
Xue Mu dryly coughed and averted his head.
“Stinky dad.” Curry Night flattened his mouth and said, “You had people guarding outside the secret room, saying that you’d let me come see you if I came out, for the sake of laughing at me?”
“Where’s the joke, that’s because I think you’re cute and rag doll-like.” Xue Mu compensated with a smile and picked her up, lifting her high twice.
Night laughed in mid-air, “Nothing to offer, what the hell are you doing?”
Xue Mu laughed compensatingly, “About your sister, there’s something I want to ask.”
Curry Night was stunned, her mind actually had to turn a few times before she remembered which one her sister was, and she said with an odd expression, “You know every inch of her body clearly, why are you asking me? I don’t recognize her.”
“Kids don’t say such nasty things.”
“Don’t do it if you’re capable!”
Zhuo Qingqing puffed and laughed.
“…… “Xue Mu’s face was filled with fever, so he could only continue to compensate for the smile, “I remember you said that Qin Wuyue’s soul had been tainted by me.”
“That’s right. Is the backlash of soul feats not a joke? Dad didn’t open the soul cultivation at that time, wouldn’t be able to control it, and naturally counterattacked into it along with the power of the Heavenly Dao, neither knowing how to control the puppet, nor knowing how to withdraw and return to …… At this time that little bit of soul breath had long since melted into her soul, and was already indistinguishable from it.”
“Could it be that I can still manipulate her if I learn puppet control now?”
“I can’t, the connection between that bit of breath and your own has long been severed.” Curry scratched her cheeks, “Shy skin, daddy really wants a puppet doll!”
“No no. Then does this bit of breath still have an effect on her?”
“Yes, there’s your breath in the soul, naturally it’s especially close to you ah. Do you really think that the Acacia Holy Maiden is really that shameless, not only does she want to steal her father from someone, but she also doesn’t move to kneel down and lick around whoever is there ……”
“Hey, didn’t you say you don’t peep?”
Curry Night covered her mouth and her eyes darted around twice: “I guessed, guessed!”
Xue Mu unhappily stumbled her to the ground and glared down at her with a stern face.
Curry Night let out a “humph” and turned her head away.
Xue Mu couldn’t do anything about this family of peeping toms and helplessly said, “Alright, I know, you go rest early.”
Curry Night was afraid that he would pursue the matter, but when she saw that he didn’t seem to be interested in pursuing the matter, she couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. Stealing a glance at him, he couldn’t help but say, “Dad ……”
“Hmm?”
“Close to close to close, and moving emotion is not equivalent. The Acacia Sect establishes the Dao without emotion, dad must have a number in his heart.”
“Hm, I have a number.”
Curry night slowly turned around to go back, and then suddenly stopped, turned his head to add, “You …… this is the first time, really want to understand Qin Wuye.”
Xue Mu pursed his lips and was silent.
Seeing Curry Night leave, Xue Mu thought for a while with a headache, still not daring to judge Qin Wuye’s mind too distinctly. Helplessly, he asked in a low voice, “Qingqing, what do you think?”
Zhuo Qingqing always watched the exchanges between this odd pair of father and daughter with a smile on her face, and her heart was very soft. Seeing Xue Mu ask, she laughed and said, “Your Excellency is mistaken, but isn’t it normal for it to be just a one-time misjudgment? Besides, if she asked Gongzi those words, how do you know it’s not a gesture?”
“Right.” Xue Mu sighed, “The question is, should I continue to suspect that she’s acting out, or should I give her a little trust?”
Zhuo Qingqing was silenced by the question and also sighed slightly, “Your Excellency asked me, so of course the answer is to continue to be on the defensive. Even if she is wrongly accused, so what? In short, we shouldn’t expect to be able to take in the Acacia Holy Maiden with our true hearts, that would be even more illusory than if you had gotten Mu Jian Li.”
“How much more illusory?”
“And regardless of the Dao, even if Gongzi’s soul taint can counteract the Emotionless Dao well. Just look at the reality, after all, Mu Jian Li doesn’t need to consider as many things as Qin Wuyi, doesn’t have the same commitment as Qin Wuyi, she only needs to ask her own heart, she doesn’t need to drag the entire clan’s future with her. Whenever Mu Jian Li becomes the Sword Asking Sect Leader, probably the nature will be more or less the same.”
“Alright, that makes sense.” Xue Mu shook his head and smiled, “A drink?”
Zhuo Qingqing said sweetly, “Sure.”
The two of them moved to the stone table in the corner of the courtyard, and Zhuo Qingqing touched the wine pot and wine cups from her ring. Filling them up, the two raised their glasses and lightly clinked them, Xue Mu was about to say something, when suddenly a Star Luo Array guard hurriedly came, “You’re here, Master Chief, the Star Luo Array of the Sword State Branch Rudder has reported urgently! Ask the Sword Sect has changed hands!”
This was something that had been expected, Xue Mu nodded and calmly sipped his wine and asked, “Who is the new Sect Leader? Immediately organize the details of this person and give them to me, in addition to cultivation information, but also temperament and preferences, faction within the sect, whether or not they have a partner, family relative status, and so on.”
That guard looked strange as he listened to Xue Mu’s long list of instructions, and in the end, he summarized everything in just four words, “It’s Mu Jian Li.”
“Pfft ……,” Xue Mu and Zhuo Qingqing spewed out at the same time, followed by coughing in unison, extremely synchronized.
A crying expression also appeared on the guard girl’s face, “Does the information still need to be there? Like a companion?”
“Cough ……” Xue Mu coughed and gasped, “Don’t want it ……”
The young girl laughed, “The Sword Asking Sect has already announced that it will hold a new Sovereign Succession Ceremony on October 10th, and the disciples of the Sword Asking Sect have been sending out invitations in all directions, so it will soon be spread all over the world.”
“Alright, even the ceremony time is so moe.” Hearing that the ceremony time was all set, Xue Mu finally digested the news and mused, “In this case, talk to the Sword State Branch Rudder and find a way to pass a message to Jian Li …… Uh, even if she’s mixed up, there’s always the power to decide what guests she wants to see on her own, right?”
Zhuo Qingqing couldn’t help but laugh, “Don’t look down on people.”
“That’s fine, let her find a way to do her best to create Lin Wu Ya’s passing of the throne is because of this battle’s great realization, and she needs to close the door to merge with the Dao …… Since it’s her who takes over as Patriarch, the persuasive power of this illusion is very high, and our side will echo and cooperate with it, and work together to solve this out of the pack of wolves surrounded by wolves situation. Other than that, let her contact me through the Star Luo Formation at any time if something happens, and slowly discuss it again.”
The guard sister hurriedly went away, and Xue Mu and Zhuo Qingqing stared at each other for a long half day, their complexions getting weirder and weirder.
Perhaps the world looks at Mu Jian Li’s gaze is not the same as theirs, others may really think that it is a stern and awe-inspiring cold and arrogant swordsman, but the Mu Jian Li in their eyes is really just a dumbfounded cute girl, can she really be the Sect Leader ah? Is the Questioning Sword Sect going in the direction of being cute?
And about Qin Wu night, just said what came …… This is called the will of heaven?
