To save his brother, he had to betray his friend? How could Gu Xingnuo make this choice?
Mo Wen did not urge him, but just looked at Gu Xingnuo quietly. The wanton and frivolous boy back then had now become a calm and steady young man. His face had lost its youthfulness, and his thin face was now sharp and angular. Mo Wen raised the corners of his mouth, and said calmly, "You have grown up."
Gu Xingnuo's mouth was full of blood. He knelt on the ground, but his waist was still straight. Although he knelt on his knees, he was not humble. After hearing Mo Wen's words, Young Master Gu just lowered his head and said, "Master, my brother is innocent."
Mo Wen asked, "Where is the Wuhuan person?"
Gu Xingnuo's cheeks were sunken because he clenched his teeth too tightly. After a while, he said, "Master, I have never seen Wuhuan."
"Okay," Mo Wen said, his tone unchanged, "You can go now."
Gu Xingnuo looked up and wanted to speak again, but Mo Wen had already walked past him. In a flash, the man left the courtyard without giving Gu Xingnuo a chance to speak.
Outside the courtyard gate, Chengguan stood with his body bowed.
Mo Wen's eyes swept across Chengguan's face, and then he walked away.
Chengguan walked slowly into the courtyard, looked at Gu Xingnuo who was still kneeling on the steps, shook his head slightly, and said, "Since the host asked you to return home, young master, you should go back."
Gu Xingnuo closed his eyes. His younger brother was innocent, but he couldn't exchange Wuhuan's life for Gu Xinglang's. People might be close to each other, but when it came to life and death, how could he choose?
Seeing that Gu Xingnuo did not move, Cheng Guan said, "Since you have made your decision, just be at peace with your conscience. Kneeling here for a long time will not help. You should go back first."
Gu Xingnuo whispered, "Grandmaster, I came here on orders. Now that the person has been handed over, the Grandmaster has not given me a single word. How can I go back to the palace to report the order?"
"you mean?"
"The master didn't let me go."
Chengguan remained silent for a long while.
"Master," the attendant monk came to Mo Wen and said, "Young Master has woken up."
"Yeah," Mo Wen responded and walked towards the direction of the meditation room.
"What about Gu Xingnuo?" the attendant monk asked Mo Wendao.
"He doesn't dare to leave," Mo Wen said.
Time passed little by little, and after dusk, autumn rain began to fall in Fengjing.
Gu Xingnuo was kneeling on the steps, his clothes were soaked, but he was still kneeling straight.
Mo Wen sat in the Zen room and watched Master Fenglin finish drinking the medicine.
"Master," Master Fenglin asked Mo Wen after drinking the medicine, "Who is the woman who hurt me?"
"That woman is dead," Mo Wendao said, "Fenglin, you should stop remembering a dead person."
Young Master Fenglin was startled and wanted to say something, but he didn't dare to speak it out loud.
"Is that woman beautiful?" Mo asked.
Master Fenglin lowered his head and said, "Disciple did not see her appearance clearly."
Mo Wen raised his hand, gently patted Master Fenglin on the shoulder, and said softly: "Love is a calamity, think about your brother, don't let a woman destroy you."
When Mo Wen mentioned Wuhuan, Young Master Fenglin trembled as Mo Wen pressed his shoulder.
"Have a good rest," Mo Wen took his hand away, as if he felt nothing, and said, "I will come to see you later."
"Master," Master Fenglin said, "That woman didn't want to hurt me. It was Ling..."
"I have my own considerations for this matter," Mo Wen interrupted the young disciple and said, "You have been poisoned twice. If you don't rest well, your foundation will be damaged."
“Master!”
"I didn't raise you to see you hurt yourself," Mo Wen said. "Why, after going on a long journey, you don't listen to me?"
Young Master Fenglin then lowered his head and said, "Disciple dare not."
Mo Wen wanted to leave, but after thinking about it, he said to Master Fenglin, "You are no match for Yu Linglong. If you continue to fight, you will be acting on impulse and overestimating your own abilities. I can save you once, but I don't think I can save you a second time."
Master Fenglin lowered his head and didn't look at Mo Wen. He just said, "I've never heard of Princess Linglong of Fengtian practicing martial arts before. How did she become so skilled in martial arts overnight?"
"Indeed, her martial arts are gifted by nature?" Mo Wen said.
Fenglin Shaolin raised his head and said, "Master, if this girl is different, then why..."
"You," Mo Wen smiled and shook his head, whispering, "What does Yu Linglong's extraordinary martial arts have to do with us?"
Young Master Fenglin was stunned by the question from his master.
"Why does she want to be an enemy of my Eternal Life Temple? This is what I'm curious about," Mo Wen said, turning around and walking out of the meditation room.
Young Master Fenglin lay on the bed, thinking about everything that happened to him when he met Yu Xiaoxiao, one by one. In the end, Young Master Fenglin was sure that the princess was hostile to him when they first met, and there was no reason at all.
After nightfall, the rain that had started at dusk gradually subsided.
Yu Xiaoxiao finally put on a proper nightgown. Looking at the rain outside the window gradually decreasing, Her Royal Highness the Princess said with satisfaction: "It seems that I will be sorry to God if I don't set a fire today." Once the rain stops, it will be easier to set a fire.
Jing Mo smiled and said, "Princess, does this nightgown fit you?"
Yu Xiaoxiao nodded and said, "Not bad, not too big or too small."
Looking at the nightgown that fits his princess perfectly, and thinking about the prince consort who had gone to the Dali Temple to rescue Xiaozhuang, the veins on Xiaozhuang's forehead were throbbing endlessly. Wasn't this dress made specially for his princess? How could he see it? Jingmo's guards were all men, so who was this nightgown for women for?
Jing Mo said to Yu Xiao at this time: "As long as the princess likes it."
"Uh," Yu Xiao: "You mean, I don't have to return this dress?"
Jing Mo nodded and said generously: "I will give this dress to the princess."
Yu Xiaoxiao's eyes curved again. Jing Mo invited her to dinner, and now he gave her a set of clothes. The people in the last days also knew that if they met a rich man, they must make friends with him. So the princess said to the prince Jing, "Jing Mo, we want to be friends for life!"
Jing Mo smiled and said, "Okay, thank you Princess for not abandoning me."
"I won't abandon you," Yu Xiaoxiao said very loyally, "Aren't we friends?" Being a mistress is impossible, but being a friend is still a good idea. Yu Xiaoxiao gave herself a thumbs up for making rich friends. She won't have to worry about her and her children starving to death in the future.
Xiao Wei was very glad that Gu Xinglang left first. He felt bad looking at the two people in front of him. Wouldn’t the prince consort be heartbroken?
Tian Xingzi, who was tied up and thrown on the ground, woke up at this time. When the old Taoist woke up, he asked to go home.
Yu Xiaoxiao squatted down, looked at the Taoist priest and said, "Want to go home?"
Tian Xingzi said: "Please grant me your blessing, Princess."
"No problem," Jade said.
Tian Xingzi felt that he would not have such good luck. Would this guy let him go so easily?
Yu Xiaoxiao raised her hand and slapped Tian Xingzi on the head again.
The old Taoist was thinking before he fainted, he knew he didn’t have such good luck!
