Chapter 303 Cooking by Yourself
At the emperor's birthday banquet, the prince took the initiative to come forward, and his words were full of suggestive meanings.
Mu Qing felt that something was amiss, so he turned to Taoist Master Yiqing and asked, "Master, do you know the You Clan? Are they really as sinister as the rumors say?"
The topic changed a bit too quickly. Taoist Master Yiqing thought for a moment before saying, "Rumors of the You Clan have been circulating for a long time, but no one has ever seen them in person. Why are you asking this suddenly?"
Mu Qing explained, "Some time ago, the Crown Prince came to provoke Yin Li, hinting that he was from the You Clan, and Yin Li's reaction was very strange. Does the Taoist think he is a member of the so-called You Clan?"
Taoist Master Yiqing fell into deep thought: "This... There are indeed many legends about Yin Li circulating in the martial arts world, and I have witnessed it several times with my own eyes."
Mu Qing listened attentively.
"You should know that Yin Li's hair color is different during the day and at night. And he can also ignite blue flames on his palms." Taoist Yiqing said this with a serious expression.
"Wouldn't that be witchcraft?" Lu's mother exclaimed.
She thought to herself, No, I absolutely cannot let Xin'er be with such a monster.
Taoist Master Yiqing said in a deep voice, "What's even more bizarre is that there are so many vicious people in the Ghost Market that fighting is inevitable. And once, Yin Li was accidentally injured."
At that time, Yin Li's neck was broken by the heavy mace.
Taoist Master Yiqing paused, and because of the presence of female relatives, he omitted the description of the bloody scene: "I saw it with my own eyes. He was clearly dead, but he came back to life."
"So, he might indeed be a member of the You tribe." Mu Qing murmured.
If that's the case, things become even more difficult.
Taoist Master Yiqing shook his head. "That's not entirely certain. I've never heard of any You tribe legends that claim they possess the ability to resurrect from the dead. And from what I know, they're just ordinary natives."
What? The You people are just ordinary people?
Mu Qing couldn't help but wonder, "But didn't the prince say that the person who performed the magic was from the You Clan?"
"Magic transformation? Can you describe it in detail?" Taoist Master Yiqing's eyes were burning.
Mu Qing then told him everything that happened in the palace.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, the Taoist priest sneered, "You have all been deceived by that white-robed man. The dragons and cranes flying in the sky are just a trick."
"Why do you say that, Taoist priest?" Mu Qing asked seriously.
Taoist Master Yiqing smiled faintly. "Of course, because I saw it myself in the Ghost Market. There are a lot of people who can do this kind of magic in the Ghost Market. That person must be someone hired by the prince to impersonate him."
Having said that, Mu Qing felt even more confused.
At that time, he clearly saw Yin Li's face change. Anyone who saw it would think that the prince had seen through Yin Li's identity, which was why he was so excited.
But the Taoist priest said that not only should Yin Li have nothing to do with the You clan, but even the white-robed man brought by the prince was not from the You clan!
So what was the prince's intention behind his actions at the banquet? And what did his reaction represent?
"The Taoist priest just mentioned that he has an immortal body and that blue flames can be seen on his palms? Could he really be a monster?" Yin Li temporarily put aside the questions that he couldn't figure out and began to study Yin Li's identity.
Taoist Master Yiqing shook his head. "What is the true identity of the Master of the Ten Thousand Scrolls Pavilion? This question has been lingering in the martial arts world for many years, so naturally, I don't know either."
Mu Qing frowned and fell into deep thought.
Jiang Yao suddenly spoke up, "From the information I've gathered, the Pavilion Master of Wanjuan Pavilion seems to have no parents, as if he popped out of nowhere. Furthermore, his whereabouts are extremely mysterious, and he generally doesn't leave the Pavilion."
However, he repeatedly broke this rule for Hu Xiner.
Taoist Master Yiqing saw Mu Qing's worried look and said comfortingly, "You don't have to worry too much. I just told you about this matter. He doesn't seem to have any ill intentions towards the Lu family."
Mother Lu blurted out, "You're trying to steal our wife, and you still say you have no ill intentions?"
Taoist Master Yiqing felt a little embarrassed.
Mother Lu took her son's thoughts into consideration and realized she had spoken out of turn. She spoke gently to Mu Qing, "Son, it's okay. No matter how kind Xin'er is, she's already married and has a very close relationship with you. As long as Yin Li shows some interest, she'll retreat."
Jiang Yao had raised Mu Qing for so many years and was very familiar with his behavior and habits. She knew that this boy must be jealous to death.
So, she said coldly, "Why are you so sad? You're not going to change your clumsy tongue anytime soon. Why not think positively? Maybe he doesn't like your silly wife at all."
After hearing these words, Mu Qing appeared very calm on the surface, but he knew very well in his heart that Yin Li did have special feelings for Hu Xiner.
Moreover, this person doesn't care about the secular world at all. Even if Hu Xin'er is married, it is not an obstacle for Yin Li!
Mu Qing couldn't help but have a headache. He didn't expect that he would have a love rival after getting married!
Hey, who can blame his wife for being so charming?
Thinking back to when they were not married, he was jealous of Erdong every day.
Later, not long after getting married, Feng Ge appeared with a green tea temperament.
Now Erdong has married someone else, and Feng Ge has been proven to have no special feelings for Hu Xiner, while Hu Xiner lives happily in the Lu family.
At this moment, Yin Li suddenly appeared!
For a few seconds, Mu Qing even thought that it was Yin Li who spread the sleeping pills in Hu Xiner's yard.
After all, everyone in the yard was gone, but Hu Xiner was safe and sound.
Only Yin Li would be so bored as to do something so annoying!
After leaving Mother Lu's room, Mu Qing took out a letter from his arms, carefully examined it several times, and then said to the servant beside him: "Hurry and deliver this letter to the Liu family!"
The servant left, and Mu Qing rushed to the room.
Hu Xin'er still maintained the same posture as when he left, lying quietly on the bed in a daze.
"You're back?" She was a little surprised to see Mu Qing.
The next second, they both said in unison: "I have something to tell you."
"You tell me first," Hu Xin'er said with a concerned look, "What happened to mom?"
Mu Qing was about to speak when he heard Hu Xin'er's stomach rumbling.
Hu Xiner felt very embarrassed and wished she could find a place to hide.
She lowered her head and whispered, "Wait a minute, baby, your dad and I have something to say!"
Seeing such a loving scene, Mu Qing smiled and said, "It's not too late to talk about it after you're full. What do you want to eat now?"
"Just bring up whatever's in the kitchenette," Hu Xin'er said a little embarrassedly.
But what she didn't expect was that Mu Qing chose to cook by himself.
