"I really didn't blast the mine?" Li Muge felt like he had jumped into the Yellow River, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't clear his name.
"Oh, then why did you go to Zhuxian City for no reason? And what did you say about giving me, the city lord, a mine? It's like a weasel offering a chicken a New Year's greeting—you're up to no good."
Nan Yi clenched her fists tightly, looking as if she was about to rush up and fight Li Muge to the death at any moment.
Li Muge lowered his head and stammered, "This mine..."
"The mine, where did the mine go?" Nan Yi said with a twitch of his lips. "Anyway, I, the city lord, don't care. You must compensate me for the mine."
"Impossible." The mine was like a piece of flesh to Li Muge; how could he possibly give it to Nan Yi?
"Nan Yi, I can understand your feelings now, but we've been dealing with each other for so many years. If I wanted to destroy the mines of your Zhuxian City, I would have done it long ago."
"You can't stop them either!"
"Li Muge, you've gone too far." Nan Yi raised his hand and swung it at Li Muge, who dodged it by tilting his head and caught Nan Yi's palm strike.
"I've already said it wasn't me, Nan Yi. Do you even have a brain? By searching for me like this, aren't you just letting the real culprit who destroyed your city's mines go unpunished?"
"Alright then, there's no way I'll give you my mine, and don't even think about extorting me. Give me a few days, and I'll definitely help you find the real culprit, how about that?"
Nan Yi pondered for a moment, then withdrew his magic power: "Alright, Li Muge, remember what you said. If you cannot find the real culprit who destroyed this city lord's mine within ten days..."
"At that time, our Zhuxian City will definitely fight your Chiyue Sect to the death."
"Okay, okay." Li Muge breathed a sigh of relief, finally getting rid of him.
"Li Muge." A clear, furious male voice rang out behind Li Muge.
"Mo Yan, didn't you leave?" Li Muge turned around, wondering why Mo Yan had suddenly returned.
"What, Li Muge, you don't want me to come back, do you! I just want to ask the sect leader, how did my pure and innocent character become something shared between you sisters?"
“…”
Li Muge chuckled awkwardly, "How could that be, Mo Yan? It's just a misunderstanding." Damn it, how did the news spread so fast?
She thought that with Mo Yan's temper, he would definitely go back to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect and stay with him for ten days or half a month.
It's only been half a day, how come it's back again?
"Li Muge, you've gone too far!" Mo Yan approached Li Muge, who was in a state of confusion, after all, she was in the wrong.
Li Muge's mind raced as she tried to figure out how to smooth things over. Was it easy for her? One thing after another kept piling up.
Each one is more difficult than the last.
"Mo Yan, let me give you my excuse... no, my explanation."
Li Muge panicked and tried to explain, but Mo Yan was so enraged that he vomited blood and collapsed into Li Muge's arms.
"Mo Yan, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me! Guards!"
Li Muge was filled with regret.
It's all her fault.
Knowing full well that these disciples of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect are easily embarrassed, they still spoke ill of Mo Yan in front of outsiders.
"Reporting to the Sect Master, Young Master Mo Yan's heart meridian has been severely damaged. If he is not properly cared for, it may cost him his life."
"We shouldn't provoke him during this period, and also..." Mo Li had also heard Li Muge's bold words in the main hall.
His expression stiffened: "Also, don't let Young Master Mo Yan overwork himself."
Li Muge couldn't maintain her aloofness and choked on the tea she was drinking.
"Uh, Mo Li, that was all a misunderstanding. I was just deceiving Zuo Xia. Don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously."
"Is that so!" Mo Li said with a gossipy look, "Then, Sect Master, it seems that Young Master Mo Yan and the Peony Flower Fairy really cheated on you."
Li Muge: "..."
"No, no, Mo Li, do you think I would let Mo Yan live a good life if he really cheated on me?"
Li Muge gritted her teeth and said, "These people are so infuriating, they just have to put the blame on me."
"No... that's for sure. Sect Master, please take good care of Young Master Mo Yan. Just pretend I didn't say anything." Mo Li was frightened and quickly withdrew.
"What sins have they committed, one by one?" Li Muge said angrily, clutching her head.
Mo Yan slowly woke up.
Li Muge was like a spinning top, constantly on the go, as soon as she got out of bed.
"Hey, Mo Yan, don't go. If you're going to leave, wait until you're healed."
Li Muge tried her best to be patient, after all, it was her fault.
Mo Yan clutched his chest, his lips pale: "Sect Master, what am I to you? Just a piece of trash?"
"How could that be? Mo Yan, you are far more important to me than any toy," Li Muge replied instinctively.
"Heh." Mo Yan sneered: "So in the Master's heart, I am nothing more than a toy."
Li Muge: "..."
Men are so hard to deal with.
Little Peony skipped and hopped in, completely unaffected by the rumors.
As soon as Mo Yan saw her, he immediately remembered the sarcastic and contemptuous looks the people outside had given him.
He immediately began coughing violently.
"Quickly, quick, Little Peony, what are you doing in here? Get out!" Li Muge hurriedly pushed Little Peony out, lest she provoke Mo Yan to the point of death.
If that's the case, then her sin is enormous.
"Mu Ge, how could you do this? Can't I even appear in front of him?" Little Peony pouted and tilted her head angrily.
"Alright, Little Peony, how old are you? Mo Yan is only eighteen or nineteen. Why bother arguing with him? Mo Li has already said it."
“His heart meridian is damaged and he can’t withstand stimulation. What if we stimulate him to the point of death?” Every word Li Muge said to Xiao Shaoyao was heard by Mo Yan.
Mo Yan clutched his chest, feeling a sharp pain there again.
___
The mines in Zhuxian City have always produced spirit stones. Not to mention other demonic sects, even the righteous sects have given up two parts of the mines to Zhuxian City.
Li Muge had actually wanted this mine for a long time, but the old city lord had been kind to her and had taken her in when she was at her lowest point.
Phoenix Descends to the Continent: Who exactly blew up the mine in Zhuxian City? Not to mention that Zhuxian City is heavily guarded and not so easy to enter.
Although the immortal cultivation sects coveted the mineral veins of Zhuxian City, they would only try to obtain them; they would never destroy them.
What a pity, that mineral vein.
Li Muge regretted it. If she had known it would be ruined by some unknown person, she would have preferred to take it herself.
In terms of the direction of the investigation, Li Muge first suspected that Nan Yi might have offended someone.
As a result, Li Muge got a headache.
Jiang Zishi, carrying a memorial taller than himself, said, "Reporting to the Sect Master, these are all people whom the City Lord of Zhuxian City has offended recently."
"They are all cultivators or sect leaders of various sects with considerable strength."
"Alright, I understand. You may leave." Li Muge rubbed his forehead and rested his chin on the table.
Looking at the mountain of memorials, he sighed, thinking that it was no easy feat for Nan Yi to have lived this long!
