Chapter 170 [Alien] Entering the Palace
Maybe he wanted to tell Yan Ru that he would be obedient.
It may also be because I like the master in front of me so much. He has a faint fragrance on his body, which makes people inexplicably calm down, peaceful and at ease.
In the blink of an eye, thirteen years have passed, and Hua Jin is now seventeen years old.
The sun was at its highest point, and Hua Jin was following Mu Chi's orders to call Ye Musi and Zhu Jianye to go to the West Mountain. Zhu Jianye had already gone, and he had just caught Ye Musi who was hiding from him, and seized a book that Ye Musi said was a rare copy.
He didn't know what this was, but seeing Ye Musi's nervous look, he thought it must be something extremely important.
Hua Jin was not interested at first, but Ye Musi's hesitant look piqued his interest, so he opened the book. He only took a glance and quickly closed it, throwing the book to the ground.
"Dirty eyes!" Hua Jin's face immediately turned red, and the burning sensation spread all the way to the pit of his stomach. "As a disciple of Yinyou Valley, Valley Master, please sit down. How dare you look at such filthy things!"
"Senior Brother, I..." Ye Musi didn't dare to speak.
Hua Jin looked at this junior fellow who was seven years younger than him, and he felt more and more disgusted with him. He also felt that his dislike for him was justified.
It wasn't just because Ye Musi, like him, had been a disciple of Mu Chi. Although he had disliked Ye Musi in the past, he couldn't say he hated him either. When he was eleven, he had raised several little rabbits, all of which were strangled to death by Ye Musi. He and Mu Chi had witnessed it firsthand, yet for some reason, Mu Chi favored Ye Musi and even punished him.
Maybe he didn't understand Mu Chi's character and would dislike and hate him, but he knew what kind of person Mu Chi was. Knowing the truth, he would definitely stand on the side of justice, so he knew that Ye Musi must have used some kind of magic.
When he first met Ye Mushi, he saw a strange pattern between his eyebrows. It was neither fairy text nor magic text. In addition, Mu Chi once said that Ye Mushi was not an ordinary person, so he became even more certain.
So from then on, he began to hate Ye Musi uncontrollably.
"Forget it, put away your dirty stuff and don't let Master see it!"
"yes."
Hua Jin took Ye Musi to the West Mountain.
"Master!" Hua Jin put everything he had just said behind him. He stepped forward, stopped a few steps away from Mu Chi, and saluted. "Disciple has found the person."
Mu Chi sat on the chair, nodded, and then looked at Ye Musi who was hesitant to come in at the door. He called out gently, "A Si, come in quickly."
After hearing Mu Chi's words, Ye Musi walked into the house timidly.
"I have been in seclusion for the past two years and entrusted you two to Chang Feihong. How are your cultivation going?" Mu Chi had already heard what Chang Feihong said. He was quite pleased and looked at Ye Musi expectantly.
Mu Chi asked, but Ye Musi didn't answer, so Mu Chi didn't ask any more questions. He didn't know why, but even though this wasn't his first time as a master, he couldn't communicate well with his disciple Ye Musi, which made him feel a little disappointed.
"Well, if you don't want to answer, I won't ask."
Hua Jin looked down at Ye Musi condescendingly. Seeing Ye Musi like this, he thought of the rare book and wanted to drive him out so that he would not defile this place.
"From now on, you will go to West Mountain at 9:00 PM, and I will lead you personally."
"Yes." Zhu Jianye had no other opinions and agreed.
"No!" Hua Jin said, "How can this be possible!"
Ye Musi was not very willing either.
Before Mu Chi could figure out what was going on, he was attracted by the bell from the Elders' Hall.
After Mu Chi left, Hua Jin stood in front of his two junior brothers with the demeanor of a senior brother.
"Junior brother, if you don't have anything else, please go back first. When I came here just now, I saw that Elder Yang seemed to be calling you."
He didn't have much animosity towards Zhu Jianye, so he let him go first.
When Zhu Jianye heard Hua Jin say this, he bowed and left. However, when he passed by Ye Musi, his steps slowed down. In the end, he did nothing and flew away on his sword.
Hua Jin bent down, almost looking at Ye Musi at eye level. He stared at the other's evasive eyes and said:
"It's entirely possible for us to practice together in the future, but..." He paused, "Second Junior Brother, does Master know what you've seen? What would Master think if he knew? Would he throw you into the Discipline Pavilion?"
The tone could almost be considered a threat.
"I don't think Elder Jieshu would find it strange. After all, you are the same as that person."
"I don't understand, brother, please stop talking about this."
"If you don't let me, I won't say anything, right?" Hua Jin stood up and walked around Ye Musi. "Look at you, how can you act like a disciple of the sect master? You don't look at cultivation manuals, but at stolen goods. Didn't you learn this from that guy?"
"Do you know why Master has left you alone? He's so disappointed in you!" He suddenly spoke loudly, thinking of how Mu Chi had sacrificed his own soul to save Ye Musi's life, and how he hadn't recovered after nearly two years of cultivation. He wanted even more to expel this evil creature, Ye Musi, from the sect. But he didn't have the right.
He couldn't understand how there could be such stupid people in the world. What kind of person was Ji Changan? They had been together for so long, how could Ye Musi not see it?
He must have seen through it, and then put on a good show, just to get the master to do something.
Now that Mu Chi’s soul is damaged and his life span is shortened, is he satisfied?
Hua Jin looked at Ye Musi who was standing there at a loss, and felt annoyed with his look of wanting to cry but not wanting to. How could someone like to cry so much?
Men don't shed tears easily.
If you start crying after just a few words, are you still a man?
"Why are you crying? What's there to cry about?"
Every time Ye Musi cried, Hua Jin didn't want to bother with him anymore, so he drove him down the mountain and waited for Mu Chi to come back alone on the mountain.
About an hour later, Mu Chi returned with a heavy heart.
Hua Jin immediately noticed that something was wrong with Mu Chi. He came forward and tried to comfort Mu Chi: "Master, has something happened?"
"Yes, it's Yandu. Some sects have already sent disciples there, and Yinyou Valley has also sent disciples there. So far, there has been no news."
Yandu is at the other end of the cultivation world. Although there is no spiritual energy, the demons there can't cause any trouble.
"Then Master, are you going to Yandu?"
"Xiao Jin, take good care of my two junior brothers. I will be back soon." Mu Chi instructed.
From childhood to adulthood, Hua Jin had never left Mu Chi's side. Mu Chi was the person closest to him besides his mother. What important matter required Mu Chi to go there in person? Hua Jin was panicking.
"Disciple will go too," Hua Jin said, "I've grown up now. I can serve Master like my uncle did. Master, can you tell me what it is?"
Mu Chi shook his head. He didn't know the reason for this, but he knew that the major sects had sent the first wave of disciples there a few months ago, followed by the second wave, and even the sect leader himself.
It can be seen that what happened in Yandu was not ordinary. He didn't know what would happen when he went there. One more person would increase the danger.
"Master, if you don't tell me, I will definitely go. If it's not a big deal, you wouldn't have to go. I'm worried about you."
"Master will be back. You stay with Elder Jieshu in the valley," Mu Chi said. If anything happens to him, Hua Jin will be the next valley master. "Be obedient."
"I'm already seventeen, and Master always treats me like a child. I'm not as young as Zhu Jianye," Hua Jin's heart began to panic for some reason. His intuition told him that if he didn't go, he would regret it for the rest of his life. "I have to go. I want to help Master. Besides, Master's old injury hasn't healed yet. How can I be at ease? Master, going to such a far place alone, and it's so dangerous. If it were me, Master would probably be worried sick."
Mu Chi looked at the stubborn Hua Jin before him, and a wave of tenderness welled up in his heart. Hua Jin had followed him since childhood, and their bond had long been like that of father and son. He knew Hua Jin's character well; once he made up his mind, it was difficult to change it. However, even he couldn't fathom the true nature of this trip to Yandu, so how could he easily let Hua Jin take such a risk?
"Xiao Jin, even this master is still not fully aware of what happened in Yandu. It's hard to predict whether this trip will be auspicious or not. Your cultivation is still shallow. If you go there rashly, you might become a burden to this master."
Mu Chi was still thinking about what to persuade him when he heard Hua Jin say:
"My disciple's cultivation level is not as good as Master's, but it's not far behind."
Hua Jin has indeed grown up, and as his master, he can no longer argue with him. Teaching people by people will not make things happen, but things can always make people remember. So let him go with us and gain some experience.
"Okay, when we get to Yandu, don't contradict me like you did today."
"Yes, this is my first time, and there won't be a next time."
When they set off, Hua Jin realized that there were not only the two of them, but also Zhu Yingyan.
It was already the next morning when they arrived at Yandu. The three of them first found a place to stay and asked what had happened that day and where the people from various sects were.
Hua Jin knocked on the door, and after hearing the response from the person inside, he pushed the door open and went in.
Mu Chi sat on one side of the table, and Zhu Yingyan on the other.
"Master, Uncle-Master." Hua Jin bowed to each other and then told what he had just learned. "The people in the city kept silent about the monster harming people, as if nothing had happened. When asked if any immortal masters had visited, they said no. I guess that the various sects and schools are like us, hiding their whereabouts and scattered in the corners of the city. It's just that the disciples sent by my sect..."
"No need to check." Mu Chi took a sip of tea. He and Zhu Yingyan felt something was wrong since they entered the inn. There were secret symbols left by the disciples of Yinyou Valley on the inn. They were summoned into the palace. It was probably left by the second batch of disciples as a signal to the third batch of disciples.
These few words made Mu Chi think for a long time.
If all the disciples of Yinyou Valley have entered the palace, then all the sects and schools are also in the palace.
Entering the palace is not difficult, but...
"They left a secret symbol and entered the palace."
"Disciple, go prepare the visiting card."
It is very easy for a cultivator to enter the palace. One is to be invited by the emperor, and the other is to send a visiting card to enter the palace.
"No need. They were invited in. If it was a normal invitation, they wouldn't have left a secret symbol." Mu Chi paused, his eyes suddenly brightening. "This involves the Yandu royal family. This is not a simple matter. Don't reveal your identity unless necessary."
Just as Hua Jin was thinking about how to enter the palace, he heard Mu Chi say, "There is a banquet in the palace today, and there are many royal nobles coming and going. Let's sneak in."
As he spoke, he picked up the silver mask beside him and put it on.
"Xiao Jin, go change into the servant's clothes."
Hua Jin did as he was told.
"Yingyan, meet me outside the palace and investigate further."
good.
Mu Chi rented a particularly luxurious carriage, with Hua Jin driving outside and Mu Chi sitting inside. He lifted the curtain, glanced at the houses passing by, and then let it down again.
He sat upright, but his hands tightened unconsciously, and then slowly loosened and sighed.
After a long while, Hua Jin said, "Master, we're here."
Mu Chi got off the carriage and looked at the people coming and going, feeling a little relieved.
Hua Jin whispered in his ear, "Master, it seems the servant is not allowed to enter the palace."
According to his observation, the servants brought by the princes and nobles from their mansions were all waiting there.
Mu Chi was in a complicated mood at the moment and did not directly answer Hua Jin's question.
"Follow me."
Hua Jin was puzzled and followed him.
Mu Chi gathered his thoughts and stepped forward. Just as he was about to step through the palace gate, a soldier stopped him.
"Who is hiding this!"
In an instant, it attracted everyone's attention, and they looked at the two of them in confusion.
