Chapter 187 What Mo Chen Left Behind
The daughter of that brat Luo Qi is just as he said back then, she is even better than her father.
Luo Li glanced at him and said loudly without any hesitation, "Grandpa Xiao."
At the same time, she was wondering how wide her father's social circle was. Why did it seem like everyone in the Longyue Empire had a good relationship with him?
It was the first time that Xiao Shu was called grandpa, and he really felt a little strange. However, at his age, it was a generation gap for Luo Li to call him uncle, right?
Luo Xiong chuckled, "Let's go in. Doesn't His Majesty have something important to discuss with us?"
Xiao Shu looked up at the sky and said, "Wait a minute, it should be almost here."
Luo Li raised her eyebrows, it seemed that she guessed right.
Sure enough, a moment later, a group of latecomers came over.
The Mo family led by Mo Hongtu, the Beast Tamer Guild led by Song Shijing, and the Equipment Refiner Guild led by Fang Yuanshuang.
There was also a middle-aged man with a steady face whom Luo Li had never seen before. Judging from the badge on his body, he should be the president of the Longyue Empire Spiritual Master Guild.
This was the first time Luo Li met someone from the Spiritual Master Guild. The last time she went there, it was very desolate and no one had lived there for a long time.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Xiao Shu nodded and said in a deep voice, "Go in, His Majesty is already waiting."
After saying that, he turned around and went in first, and the others followed.
In the courtyard outside the palace, Xiao Shu stopped and said, "Each faction, select three people to go in with me. This matter cannot be known to too many people."
The others had to stop and each faction selected three people.
The Luo family chose Luo Xiong, Luo Xiao and Luo Li.
Xiao Shu looked at them and thought for a moment before saying, "Yunqi and Feichen, come in as well."
These two people are also the ones who hold real power in the Luo family. After all, Luo Xiong and Luo Xiao don't interfere too much in the family affairs anymore, and most of the things are handled by these two people.
Luo Yunqi and Luo Feichen looked at each other, then nodded, "Okay."
The other forces were also on good terms with the Luo family, so naturally they had no objections. After selecting three people, they followed Xiao Shu into the hall.
The others were waiting in the yard.
Luo Li walked behind and followed the group into the Linhua Palace, where she saw four people sitting in the palace.
Mo Zhao was sitting in the main seat. When he saw Luo Li and the others come in, his eyes moved slightly and he stood up.
Queen Mu Ling also stood up. Mo Shuyue and Mu Yulan smiled at Luo Li after seeing her.
When everyone saw Emperor Mo, they bowed slightly, "Your Majesty."
Luo Li also bowed and stood up. She saw three people wearing silver robes standing in the shadows behind Emperor Mo. They should be the other three venerables of the empire.
After everyone paid their respects to Emperor Mo, Song Shijing, the most respected person in the group, was the first to speak, "I wonder why His Majesty summoned us?"
Emperor Mo hasn't privately summoned the leaders of the major forces in the imperial capital for many years. Could something big have happened?
All those present were high-ranking officials from various major forces and were absolutely top masters.
They could naturally have an equal dialogue with Mo Di. Mo Zhao said in a deep voice, "Everyone, please take a seat first."
The dozen or so people present looked at each other and each found a chair to sit down.
Mo Zhao also turned around and sat down, and said calmly, "I summoned you today because I have an important matter that requires your help."
"Your Majesty, please speak."
Luo Li sat on Luo Xiao's left, her eyes clear and her heart active, waiting for Mo Zhao's next words.
Mo Di pondered for a moment and was about to continue speaking when a voice as gentle as spring breeze suddenly came from outside the hall.
"It seems I'm late."
Luo Li heard the familiar voice and looked up in surprise, "Master?"
Just now she was still curious about why Shi Heng didn't come, and thought that he might not want to get involved in the struggle on the mainland, so she didn't worry about it. Unexpectedly, he actually came!
Mo Zhao's eyes lit up, "Sir Shi Heng, what are you doing?"
Shi Heng stood at the palace gate and chuckled when he heard this. "I heard Xiaoli was here, so I came to see her. Your Majesty, would you welcome me?"
Mo Zhao laughed heartily twice, "Your Excellency Shi Heng, you are joking. Please take a seat."
He glanced at Luo Li inconspicuously. He didn't expect that Shi Heng valued Xiao Li, his only disciple, so much that he would take the initiative to participate in such things.
Shi Heng had a gentle smile on his lips. He found an empty seat and sat down. He said in a gentle voice, "Your Majesty, please continue."
Mo Zhao nodded, straightened his expression, and continued, "You are all old people who have lived in the imperial capital for a long time. You should have heard of the thing left behind by His Majesty Mo Chen."
Luo Li was fiddling with the teacup casually, but she paused when she heard the words, a hint of doubt flashing across her eyes. Something left behind by His Majesty Mo Chen?
Except for Luo Li, everyone else looked as if they understood. They were all old people in the imperial capital, so they naturally knew about the rumors. "I know a little bit."
The head of the Spiritual Master Guild frowned, "Your Majesty, what happened? How is it related to the things left behind by His Majesty Mo Chen?"
Mo Di's eyes dimmed and he sighed slightly, "The things His Majesty Mo Chen left behind are not from the Tianyuan Continent, but things His Majesty Mo Chen brought back from the Wanshou Continent."
Luo Li looked up in surprise, "The Continent of Ten Thousand Beasts?"
Others reacted even more strongly, "What?!"
Luo Li frowned slightly, "So, someone is coveting this thing and wants to take action?"
Mo Di's expression was solemn. "Indeed, and it's not some unknown person. It's from the Tianyu Palace."
"Hiss—" Low gasps echoed one after another. "Tianyu Palace?"
"Yes." Xiao Shu glanced at Mo Di and continued, "Reliable information says that Tianyu Palace has sent nearly twenty red-robed elders, as well as a dedicated elder. They should have already infiltrated the teams of various factions and are heading towards Dragon Phoenix Palace."
Luo Li's pupils shrank slightly. There were only fifty red-robed elders in Tianyu Palace, and each of them was as powerful as a high-ranking spiritual emperor.
The elder who serves as the worshiper is a peerless master at the level of Nine-Star Spirit Emperor.
This team can easily destroy a medium-sized country.
They are really willing to risk everything for this thing.
However, Luo Li was genuinely curious and asked, "So what exactly was it that His Majesty Mo Chen left behind that made them covet it so?"
At this point, Mo Di no longer planned to hide it. He pressed his forehead with a headache, "It doesn't look like a precious thing to me. It looks like the broken pieces of a jade pendant."
Luo Xiong and the others were also a little puzzled. "A fragment of a jade pendant? Why would His Majesty Mo Chen leave behind something like this? Could it be some treasure that hasn't been discovered yet?"
Luo Li tapped the table with her knuckles. "A fragment of a jade pendant?"
She suddenly thought of the Chaos Jade, and then Luo Li shook her head. It couldn't be such a coincidence.
Moreover, the spiritual power fluctuations of the Chaos Jade Fragment are also very large, and it is impossible for it to be recognized as an ordinary jade pendant fragment.
And there was no unusual movement in the Tower of Gods, so she must have been overthinking it.
