Mu Jingyi had his reasons for keeping him.

He patiently told Mu Xujing about the continuation of Beiting Moon Palace for thousands of years.

Beiting Moon Palace is famous for its spells and laws. Many spells and laws in the world have become the sect's unique skills. They are needed both in fighting against demons and in maintaining daily life on earth.

The Moon Palace is actually managed by three major families.

The Mu family, the Jiang family, and the Liu family.

The three aristocratic families belong to the Moon Palace and are independent at the same time.

The Mu family and the Liu family inherited the power and spells of the first Palace Master, so the position of Palace Master is fought over by the two families. No matter which family becomes the Palace Master, they must marry a woman from the Jiang family.

Mu Xujing couldn't understand it when he heard this, and even thought for the first time in a long time that human beings were complicated and sick.

When Mu Jingyi mentioned the Jiang family, he was full of contempt and disgust: "The disciples of the Moon Palace or people from other immortal sects only think that the Jiang family members have the best spiritual bones, and that the palace masters of all generations married the Jiang family members for cultivation. Those are all inferior speculations and opinions."

Mu Xujing thought that no matter how you look at it, your Mu family and Liu family are inferior. Think about the age difference between his father and his stepmother. Why would he dare to marry her if not for the other's power to practice dual cultivation?

"Only the Mu family and the Liu family inherited the power and spells of the first generation of palace masters, while the Jiang family is under our supervision."

Mu Jingyi looked at him and said in a deep voice: "You should know how the first Palace Master died."

Mu Xujing said expressionlessly: "He committed suicide after being cursed."

"That's what the outside world knows, but this severed white hair was given to the first Palace Master by the Jiang family." Mu Jingyi said the shocking secret in a deep voice, "At that time, the first Palace Master had already married a wife who was from the Jiang family and was also a monster."

"The first generation Palace Master's spells and laws were unmatched, and he was the best in the world. However, some demons cannot be killed, such as the Fire Demon. After killing it, it will come back again after a while."

They are called "immortal" demons.

"For such demons, the first palace master sealed them with spells and completely eliminated the harm. But there was one demon that was sealed in his wife's body."

When Mu Xujing heard this, he finally reacted and moved his eyes.

"The first palace master and his wife had a deep relationship. This demon was resentful of being sealed, so he killed his wife and used her to cast a spell to cut off his white hair."

"The first generation palace master fought against this demon, but the other party was very powerful, at the level of a demon king. Before it died, it vowed that it would live in the blood of every member of the Jiang family and fight to the death with Beiting Moon Palace."

"Since then, only the Jiang family women have the so-called top-grade spiritual bones." Mu Jingyi said with disgust, "This means that they have the blood of the Demon King and can revive him."

Mu Xujing admitted that he was shocked, but he still couldn't understand why he had to practice dual cultivation.

Mu Jingyi seemed to have the ability to read minds, and sneered: "You think that is dual cultivation, but the truth is that it is sealing the power of the Demon King."

The incantations of the Moon Palace are unique, and the Mu and Liu families directly inherited the secret techniques of the first palace master.

"The first Palace Master was kind and merciful. He was reluctant to kill all the Jiangs, as they were his wife's family. He also missed his wife too much, so he arranged his funeral before he died."

"The Jiang family can survive, but they must not be allowed to practice. Someone was bewitched by the devil and secretly learned the spells in an attempt to revive the devil, so he was besieged by the two families at that time. It happened hundreds of years ago. At that time, the Mu family and the Liu family were determined to kill all the Jiang family members."

A cold light flashed in Mu Jingyi's eyes: "But they failed. The Jiang family had long been afraid of being exterminated, so they had been secretly sending their descendants outside the Moon Palace. Over the past few hundred years, the Jiang family's bloodline has already spread throughout the world."

Mu Xujing inexplicably felt that the Jiang family was quite smart.

The three families agreed that they would never exterminate the Jiang family, but the Jiang family members had to live in the Moon Palace and be under supervision for the rest of their lives. Anyone from the Jiang family who secretly learns the spells must be executed.

But after a thousand years, the population of the Mu family and the Liu family gradually declined. The Liu family died out a hundred years ago, and the number of members of the Mu family has also been decreasing.

In contrast, the Jiang family is living well.

One of the reasons for this is that the Jiang family members do not learn spells and do not have to slay demons or get involved in danger. The Mu family and the Liu family have often suffered losses due to the various battles between humans, demons and monsters over the past thousand years.

Mu Jingyi pointed at Mu Xujing and said, "When the first generation was alive, he sealed away many evil demons that wreaked havoc on the world. For thousands of years, the seals have been suppressed by his power. And you and I, our Mu family, have inherited his power, and also inherited the responsibility of guarding the seals."

Mu Xujing listened with a blank expression.

It was obvious that he had no interest in this duty.

"Palace masters of all generations must make a blood pact before sealing to provide power for the seal. But your father died before he could break the blood pact. Now, you are the only one who has inherited his bloodline to continue this blood pact until someone else in the Mu family learns the secret technique of making a pact."

The blood pact must be signed with blood, which is why he is still alive.

Mu Xujing raised his eyes and looked at him: "What will you do if he doesn't have any bloodline?"

Mu Jingyi frowned at the "your son" in his words and said coldly: "Have you not recognized your own identity yet?"

Mu Xujing said nothing.

Mu Jingyi said with a cold look: "This seal must not be broken. If any of those demons are released, it will be a troublesome disaster, not to mention that there are tens of thousands of them imprisoned inside!"

"For thousands of years, our Mu family and Liu family have been slaying demons and protecting the world. How many people have died? Even the Liu family has to die to keep this peace! But what did that bitch from the Jiang family do? She killed your father! She killed the Lord of the Moon Palace! She did it all for herself, without considering how serious it would be if the seal was broken and all the demons came out to wreak havoc on the world without the blood contract to supply power!"

Compared to the slightly excited Mu Jingyi, Mu Xujing asked expressionlessly: "Then why don't you kill her?"

Mu Jingyi's expression twisted slightly.

Mu Xujing added: "She doesn't learn spells, she only has top-grade spiritual bones. It's easy for you to kill her."

"Why not kill her?"

Mu Jingyi looked at him coldly.

"Top-grade spiritual bones are the best aid for cultivation. It would be a pity to kill her like this."

It is impossible to say that the Mu family and the Liu family have never profited from the Jiang family over the years.

The reason why they have such powerful strength is half due to this top-grade spiritual bone.

Some people hate the Jiang family to the core, despise and despise them, and the Jiang family members live a life worse than death.

But later Mu Xujing discovered that there was another reason for not killing Jiang Miao.

The Mu family did not dare to announce these secrets to the public, so it was natural for Jiang Miao to inherit the identity of the Moon Palace Master. Over the years, there were fewer and fewer supervisors, but more and more Jiang family members.

The supervisors have never been involved in the management of the Moon Palace, but because the Jiang family has to live in the Moon Palace, they have become friends with the Moon Palace disciples of all generations, and their relationship is complicated.

The Mu family wanted to kill Jiang Miao, but Yuegong did not allow it.

Over the past thousands of years, the situation has changed, and the suppressed Jiang family has inexplicably become more powerful than their regulators.

Mu Jingyi told him that the Jiang family had always been very honest and everyone lived in peace, but now Jiang Miao came along and messed things up.

Jiang Miao is a lunatic. She disregards the lives of the people in the world, wants to take revenge on the Mu family, and tries to break the seal.

So, under Mu Jingyi's indoctrination, Mu Xujing, the new Lord of the Moon Palace, his stepmother, had the impression that Jiang Miao was a majestic, cold, ambitious and domineering woman.

Until one night when he was practicing sword by the river, he suddenly turned around and found someone watching him under the tree for a long time.

The moonlight was bright, and all the light seemed to fall on her alone.

The woman had a slender and graceful figure, and her eyes were bright as she looked at him, giving him a sense of tranquility like the moon reflected in the water.

It is undeniable that she is very beautiful.

The wedding at Beiting Moon Palace was grand, and people saw the stunning beauty of the second palace master’s wife.

But although she is beautiful, it is too weird to call such a young and beautiful girl "mother".

Mu Xujing couldn't say anything.

The two looked at each other silently for a moment, each guessing the other's identity, but said nothing.

Jiang Miao didn't turn around and leave until she heard the maid calling her from behind.

Not long after, Mu Jingyi took him to announce in front of everyone in the Moon Palace that he was the descendant of the previous palace master who had left the palace. He also claimed that it was Jiang Miao who brought him back to the Moon Palace, in order to dispel outside suspicions.

Mu Jingyi sent him to Jiang Miao, saying on the surface that he was to practice with the Palace Master, but in fact he wanted him to monitor Jiang Miao's every move.

Muxujing did as he was told.

Jiang Miao did not do anything extreme towards this extra adopted son.

She likes to communicate with people using sign language and doesn't talk much.

Therefore, people in the Moon Palace often saw the Palace Master using sign language, but the Young Palace Master ignored him with a blank expression. Or maybe the Young Palace Master was conveying the message as if reciting a text, and the Palace Master was asking back using sign language, and the two were talking at cross purposes.

The maids often covered their faces because they couldn't bear to see the two people's awkward communication.

No matter how many times Mu Xujing said he didn't understand, Jiang Miao refused to talk to him.

He couldn't hate and despise Jiang Miao like Mu Jingyi did, nor did he have any affection for this beauty. As he said before, he only regarded himself as a tool, and everything was just to return to the mountains as soon as possible.

So he reported Jiang Miao's every move to Mu Jingyi truthfully.

For example, Jiang Miao secretly learned the spell.

At night, Mu Xujing saw Mu Jingyi walking towards Jiang Miao angrily, so he raised his hand and slapped him to the ground. Mu Jingyi pinched the woman's neck and mocked her, while forcing the medicine for cleansing the curse into her mouth.

If the elders of the Jiang family had not arrived quickly, Jiang Miao would have been strangled to death by Mu Jingyi that night.

The Jiang family pulled Mu Jingyi away, but Mu Xujing saw Jiang Miao lying on the ground in a mess, wiping the blood from the corner of her lips with her hand, and looking up at him.

Those eyes were dark and bright, without anger or hatred, just a calm glance, but it made Mu Xujing understand that Jiang Miao knew who had informed the secret.

That night, Jiang Miao, who was locked up, spoke to him for the first time: "I heard that you used to live in a very beautiful mountain."

Mu Xujing looked back at her, and Jiang Miao said, "Can you tell me about what happened in the mountains?"

He wouldn't stop and leave for any reason.

Perhaps he missed the quiet and comfortable days in the mountains too much, and wanted to tell others about the beauty of the mountains.

After this incident, Jiang Miao had to drink medicine every day to cleanse the curse.

Mu Xujing continued to follow Jiang Miao.

Jiang Miao still used sign language to deal with him, but would occasionally say a few words.

Mu Xujing couldn't learn sign language.

But Jiang Miao overturned his previous impression.

All those domineering and indifferent ideas are unrealistic.

In essence, she is just an ordinary girl who is a bit stubborn and has a bad temper.

Mu Xujing also didn't think that Jiang Miao wanted to break the seal and release the demon to avenge the Mu family and cross the Beiting Moon Palace.

She was quite serious when she was the palace master.

Anyone who bullied or oppressed his disciples was punished, and if there was chaos caused by demons in the surrounding areas of Beiting city, he would do his best to resolve it and keep people safe.

Mu Xujing believes that Jiang Miao likes this world and she would not want to destroy it.

He also felt that Jiang Miao liked spells.

Even though she had to drink cleansing medicine every day, she still refused to give up and tried to learn secretly, but was humiliated and scolded by Mu Jingyi every time.

The Mu family's desire to kill her became stronger and stronger.

Even the elders of the Jiang family cannot be saved.

On the way to Xihai Taichu, the Mu family wanted to kill her, but Jiang Miao unexpectedly avoided the assassination.

Jiang Miao rarely told him these things that day: "If the Tianmu family wants you to kill me, you must be serious."

Mu Xujing stood under the eaves and looked at the woman in the courtyard in silence.

He said: "If you don't make trouble like the Jiang family before, you can live a peaceful life."

Jiang Miao seemed surprised that he would say that and couldn't help but smile at him.

Although she looks quiet and well-behaved, she seldom smiles.

"You've been trapped in one place your whole life, controlled by others, and because of this top-grade spiritual bone, it will be taken away until you die. What's the point of living like this? Besides, why do you think the previous Palace Master's wife died so early?" Jiang Miao said with a smile, "Anyone in the Mu family can gain power from her, such as your second uncle and third uncle - the Jiang family are not human, this is their perception that has continued for hundreds of years."

"If you had lived in the Mu family since childhood and were raised by the Mu family, you would have the same idea."

This was the first time Jiang Miao spoke so much to him.

"Do you know how people described me before I married your father?" Jiang Miao asked, not giving Mu Xujing a choice, and said directly, "Sooner or later, anyone will be able to fuck her bitch."

Muxujing was stunned.

Jiang Miao spoke very calmly, and even repeated it with a bit of seriousness.

"But how did the people in the cultivation world describe me later?"

"They say I am the pearl of the Moon Palace, the moon in the sky that illuminates the North Courtyard."

Jiang Miao smiled and looked up at the night sky: "I don't want to be the moon in the sky, I just want to be an eagle under the moon."

The eagle flies under the moon, soaring in the sky, free and unfettered.

Mu Xujing was shocked by the people of the Moon Palace again after a long time.

The last words Jiang Miao said that night were, “You are all afraid that this demon will be reborn, but I want to see if it can really come back to life.”

Mu Xujing thought Mu Jingyi guessed wrong, but he didn't know what Jiang Miao was trying to do.

Just like he didn't know that Jiang Miao would take action when Cui Huowu insulted him in Taichu of Xihai.

There are only a handful of people in this world who will protect him.

There's nothing to count.

After counting, there was only one old man.

But Mu Xujing never thought that Jiang Miao would be the second one.

A magic circle flashed in the dark torture chamber, spitting out the person being tortured, and the iron chains swung with a noise.

Mu Xujing looked at the man and the fox who were still in the room.

Now there are a third and a fourth.

Mu Xujing said in a hoarse voice: "I have finished speaking, why haven't you left yet?"

Ling Luo said lazily: "That idiot mobilized the Thousand Silk Road, so we can't get out."

Yue Liangze: "Didn't you catch the man?"

"How would I know where I trapped him on the Thousand Silk Road?" Ling Luo snorted, "Is it worth it for me to go back and look for a piece of trash who can't even break the trap?"

Yue Liangze looked helpless, his Feiyun Ting could only receive messages but not send them.

The man and the fox were so bored that they had to teach Mu Xujing spells to pass the time when he was taking a break from the punishment.

Mu Xujing, who was suddenly forced to practice, "..."

He said: "My hands are tied, and I can't learn even if I teach."

The white fox pointed at him with its claws and said arrogantly, "Not all spells require hand gestures. There are many that only require remembering the spells. Learn as many as you can. The two greatest sword masters in the world are teaching you. Do you dare to say you don't want to learn? You have to learn even if you don't want to!"

Yue Liangze finally experienced the pleasure of having his three senior brothers and master take turns watching him write and recite spells.

No wonder the seniors were having so much fun.

Mu Xujing's expression twisted slightly: "You two are the best at swordsmanship, why don't you teach me swordsmanship?"

Yue Liangze: "My spell law is also very strong."

Ling Luo stared at him and asked, "What do you mean by we are the strongest in swordsmanship? Who is stronger?"

Mu Xujing: "..."

The white fox waved its claws at him fiercely: "Speak!"

Mu Xujing immediately said: "You are the strongest."

The white fox instantly regained his smile.

Yue Liangze touched its head.

It took a long time for the unfortunate Wu Xu to be discovered by the people in the Moon Palace that something was wrong. They mobilized Thousand Silk Roads to find him trapped in the Painted Skin Spirit. Wu Xu was so angry that he ordered people to find the white fox Painted Skin Spirit after he came out. He was determined to turn the entire Moon Palace upside down to find it.

At the same time, Yue Liangze took the white fox away openly from under his nose.

On the way back to Yuegong Tinglou, Yue Liangze asked, "How are you going to help him avoid Sanjing?"

Lingluo: "Secret, I'll tell you later."

Yue Liangze pursed his lips, turned away and said, "There may be three leaders among the people coming from Tianji."

Ling Luo raised her eyes to look at him and asked deliberately, "Are you afraid of my master?"

"No." The answer was quick.

Ling Luo: "Then he will come."

Yue Liangze was in deep thought.

How could he tactfully remind Lingluo that the letter he wrote had been read by Yun Shouxi? When he saw Yun Shouxi again, he had only one thought. In Wusheng's words, that was to chop him into pieces.

Yue Liangze felt that he had fallen.

He actually began to agree with Wusheng's ideas.
