Chapter 69: If Pure Demon Blood Jing knew that you lied to him, what would happen to you...

Mo Fei's pupils darkened. "According to the highest level secrets of Zui Weng Tower, they seem to have a king of pure demon blood, and this king..."

Mu Xingchen frowned and said, "Pure demon bloodline?"

Mo Fei nodded. "The Yuegan tribe is half-demonic. They can't fully transform into demons, so their power will never return to the glory of the demon tribe a thousand years ago. But a demon king with pure demon blood..." Mo Fei's eyes darkened. "If he grows up, his power will be equivalent to Zong Bei's a thousand years ago. And a thousand years from now, there will never be another Qingfeng Yuan among the human race." She glanced at Mu Xingchen. "But, if it were you..."

Mu Xingchen felt a chill run down his spine. "Don't mistake me for Qing Feng Yuan. He's not Zong Bei either."

Mo Fei sighed, "But... don't you think your situations are very similar? Both humans and demons, both deceived. What if one day you end up on the same path..."

Mu Xingchen frowned slightly. "Don't worry about this. I'm not that stupid." She said sarcastically.

Mo Fei nodded: "Of course that would be the best."

"Go on."

"Then, the imperial court began to spare no effort to strangle Jing. For so many years, they couldn't find any trace of him or any chance to kill him. Only a while ago did the imperial court finally find a glimmer of hope..." Mo Fei began to laugh excitedly, "That was when you met him. He was betrayed and seriously injured. That was the only chance the imperial court had to kill him, but unfortunately, you ruined it."

Mu Xingchen narrowed his eyes, "You really know everything."

Mo Fei smiled and said, "I wouldn't have guessed it if you hadn't come to save me. You exposed your cultivation when you came to save me, and your identity was exposed at Zui Weng Tower. And the arrow you shot at Li Yan revealed that Jing had been to the Mu Mansion. The court was so determined to kill him, and if it weren't for your repeated rescues, he wouldn't have escaped alive so easily."

Mu Xingchen also smiled: "It seems that you have received a lot of information from Li Yan."

"As long as I want." Mo Fei replied.

"Go on."

Mo Fei turned back to the bronze mirror, picked up the comb, and continued combing his hair. "The imperial court has been plotting to kill Jing for five years, and the manipulator is Jing's trusted confidant, Kui Jun." Mo Fei's smile deepened. "You know, since ancient times, the honey trap has always been successful. Five years ago, Kui Jun fell in love with a woman named Su Yun, a close confidant of Li Yan."

"Su Yun used Kui Jun to stab Jing in the back?" Mo Xingchen raised an eyebrow.

Mo Fei turned around and looked at Mu Xingchen. She shook her head gently. "Then one day, Prince Yan learned of Su Yun and Kui Jun's acquaintance, and Su Yun was arrested. After her arrest, Li Yan personally interrogated her and used torture to force her to reveal Kui Jun's whereabouts. But she loved Kui Jun so much that she refused to reveal his whereabouts despite being tortured in the dungeon. Later, Kui Jun bravely but foolishly tried to save someone alone, but he was also arrested. That's when Jing intervened and rescued him. From then on, the internal division began."

Mu Xingchen's eyes darkened. "That's quite interesting." She said with certainty, "It seems that woman has been Li Yan's person from the beginning to the end. She was just acting with Li Yan, but someone just fell for it."

Mo Fei nodded. "That's right. While Kui Jun was angry that Jing didn't rescue Su Yun, he had already agreed to Li Yan's conditions in the dungeon. As long as Li Yan could release Su Yun, he would seek an opportunity to betray Jing's whereabouts. After all... what man in this world could bear to watch his beloved woman being tortured and remain indifferent, and she would never betray him even if she died. Love is deep and lasting, even though it comes from nowhere."

Mu Xingchen said lightly: "So he betrayed Jing in the end, causing Jing to almost fall into a life-and-death crisis." And that time, she picked him up.

Mo Fei nodded: "Indeed, even if Jing saved him, but he didn't save her lover, this kind of life-saving grace will not make people grateful, but will only make people resentful, and this resentment will become more and more serious over time until it backfires." She suddenly sighed: "Those who accomplish great things must not be soft-hearted. That person was soft-hearted after all. If it were me, I would not save him in the first place."

Mu Xingchen agreed: "Same."

Some people have to be betrayed once before they learn their lesson.

People, and human hearts, are the easiest to change, especially to become hard.

Mu Xingchen sighed silently and suddenly felt a headache. She didn't know what to do after her deception was exposed.

"Li Yan spent countless time and energy planning all this, but it's a shame that you've muddied the waters of a five-year plan."

Mu Xingchen smiled and said, "It's all fate."

Mo Fei's eyes flashed with sarcasm: "Kui Jun should be dead now." Mo Fei turned his head to look at her and kindly warned: "If Jing knew that you lied to him, your end would be miserable too, so no matter what your purpose is in approaching him...it's best to prepare for it."

"If it were you, what would you do?" Mu Xingchen asked curiously.

"Plan for an opportunity, a way to retreat, and then... kill him, otherwise..." Mo Fei stroked the teeth of the comb with her fingers and thought thoughtfully: "As long as you are not tempted and soft-hearted, you will not fall into a desperate situation. Of course, the premise is that he has not really grown up..." She glanced at Mu Xingchen and said the rest in silence.

Mu Xingchen sighed silently.

"So where has he been these days?" Mu Xingchen asked.

Mo Fei raised an eyebrow: "He went to hunt down the traitor. He was in such a state. Kui Jun couldn't have done it all by himself."

Mu Xingchen chuckled, "What an idiot! The entire tribe is hoping that he can become stronger and lead them to stand up again, but there are some people who want to add insult to injury."

Mo Fei looked at her expression and chuckled, "That's normal. Jealousy is common, and there's nothing wrong with getting involved. After all, once he's dead, there will naturally be people vying for the top spot. In troubled times, who doesn't want to be a hero? Who doesn't want to reap huge benefits? Those who have had enough of being suppressed all want to stand up."

Mu Xingchen said lightly: "You are right." She yawned, threw back the quilt and lay down. She was so sleepy.

Suddenly, she thought of something, and despite her sleepiness, she asked, "Do you know the frail and sickly prince in Kyoto?"

Mo Fei's smile froze: "Why are you asking about him?"

"I'm just curious. If you want to accomplish something, you can use this person." Mu Xingchen nodded at the Spring Festival. She and Mo Fei could cooperate on this matter.

Mo Fei sighed, "I know, but I know very little. The prince has hardly ever been in Kyoto since he was a child, so the information he has is limited. But... my intuition tells me that this prince is no ordinary person. He should be back for His Majesty's birthday this time. We can wait and see."

"Is that so." Mu Xingchen's eyes darkened. It seemed that he could only wait and see. "But who are you and us?" Mu Xingchen sneered.

She likes beautiful women, but that doesn't mean she likes to be led by them.

Mo Fei's comb was chopped.

She is not in a hurry. Sooner or later they will stand on the same front.

The second day.

Mu Xingchen slept until noon. She stretched and sat up to look at the sky outside.

The sun is particularly strong today.

No one had brought her food at this time. The person who brought her food must have been taken care of by Li Yu who was beside Mo Fei.

As soon as Mu Xingchen lifted the curtain, Mo Fei walked in.

She was holding a food box in her hand. "Wake up, I cooked. Try it if you don't mind."

Mu Xingchen raised an eyebrow: "You can cook?"

Mo Fei paused as he placed the plates: "I can do it."

Mu Xingchen looked at the dishes on the table. Compared with the ones Li Jing had people send over, they looked very ordinary.

"Okay." She sat down and picked up a few pieces of food with her chopsticks.

I've been eating too much delicacies lately, so it's quite refreshing to eat these simple meals.

"What's going on outside?" Mu Xingchen asked.

Mo Fei said calmly, "I don't know. But the Drunkard House should be in chaos right now."

Mu Xingchen frowned slightly: "The storm is coming."

The courtesan of the Drunkard House suddenly disappeared overnight, sending shockwaves through the capital. Soldiers and horses were seen searching the streets, carrying Qian Yun's portrait.

For three whole days, Li Yan searched almost the entire Kyoto but could not find any trace of Mo Fei.

Several secret guards knelt in front of the hall and apologized.

"Waste!" Li Yan said angrily.

Secret Guard: "Master, please forgive me. We have checked everywhere we can, and there is indeed no trace of the Madam."

Li Yan clenched his fists, and the veins on his arms bulged.

As for who knows Mo Fei best in this world, besides the deceased Xie Yue, it is himself.

"Where else are we going?" Li Yan's pupils suddenly shrank, "Mu Mansion!"

…

Mu Xingchen sat in the rocking chair in the yard, occasionally putting snacks into his mouth.

Xiao Qi: "Are you sure it's okay to do this?"

Mu Xingchen yawned: "What's the problem?"

Xiao Qi: "Okay."

Mu Xingchen suddenly sat up straight: "Here I come!"

The next second, a cold voice came from behind: "Where is she?" Li Yan asked.

Mu Xingchen turned around and asked in surprise, "Your Majesty! Why are you here?"

"What am I asking you?" Li Yan narrowed his eyes.

Mu Xingchen asked with a puzzled look on his face, "Who are you talking about, Your Majesty?"

"Stop pretending to be stupid with me! Where is she? Is she here to see you?" Li Yan's face looked as if a ghost was demanding his life.

"Who is it? There is no one in my yard." Mu Xingchen became more and more confused.

Li Yan narrowed his eyes and gave a look to the secret guard behind him.

The secret guard nodded, and after a moment he came out of the house, "Master, there's no one here. We've searched other places, and no suspicious people have appeared."

Li Yan's aura suddenly dropped a bit, and he warned grimly, "Mu Qing, don't let me know it's you, or I'll tear you into pieces."

Mu Xingchen nodded and said indifferently, "I don't know what you are talking about, but whatever you say is what it is."

The next second, Li Yan left with a dark face.
