Su Mo'er was trapped in a maze in the front yard and accidentally touched the barrier. After the barrier was removed, she was taken directly to the main hall.
There were no servants in the courtyard, so naturally no one served tea. The two had entered the maze by passing through the main hall, and now that they were being escorted out, they knew that the people in the courtyard had already noticed them and were waiting in the main hall.
Two figures emerged from the inner room, and Su Mo'er stepped forward and bowed respectfully: "Uncle-Master."
Rong Yu gave a faint reply.
Geng Qi's appearance was within Su Mo'er's expectations, and she was not surprised. The two came out hand in hand, one in front of the other, with wide sleeves covering their faces. However, there was a small table between the two main seats, and as they were about to sit down, their hands, which were reluctant to let go, were exposed to the public.
Su Mo'er cupped her hands to Geng Qi: "This junior has not yet thanked His Majesty the Demon Lord for saving me in the Desolate Swamp Secret Realm."
Geng Qi: "..." Why bring up something you shouldn't have!
Geng Qi glanced at Rong Yu subconsciously, and seeing that he was not acting strangely, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He waved his hand, and two steaming cups of tea appeared beside them. Ye Hanqi's appearance was unexpected. He looked back and forth between the two of them and asked, "You two are together?"
"Cough! Cough!" He choked as soon as he swallowed the tea.
Su Mo'er's face instantly turned red with embarrassment.
Before she could speak, Ye Hanqi suddenly said firmly, "Yes."
"Oh." Geng Qi nodded meaningfully, then suddenly glanced at the person beside him: "We're together now."
Su Mo'er: "..." I figured it out a long time ago.
She looked up at Rong Yu, whose senior apprentice was also sipping tea, but it seemed he was using the curved rim of the cup to conceal the uncontrollable upward curve of his lips.
Geng Qi then said, "I saved you not for any other reason, but because we are of the same clan, and saving you was just a small favor."
"..." With his strength, it was indeed just a matter of "raising a hand".
He had just revealed his relationship with Rong Yu to the two of them, and then said that he saved people because of their clan. Anyone would think that he saved people for Rong Yu's sake, but Su Mo'er heard something different in his words.
Just as she was wondering, someone suddenly transmitted a voice in her mind. She stared in astonishment and said, "You are..."
Geng Qi laughed and said, "I am also a member of the royal family."
Su Mo'er received his hint, and the two understood each other without saying a word. She lowered her head again, this time performing a courtly gesture.
Geng Qi accepted her greeting, waved his hand to warm himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and asked, "How did you end up back in Sangzhong City?"
Su Mo'er said, "My seventh uncle has returned to his clan, and my father sent someone to summon me back to attend the banquet."
"..."
Rong Yu's eyes flickered slightly. Because he was in a good mood, he didn't change his expression when he mentioned that person. However, when he saw Su Mo'er's eyes light up when she looked at Geng Qi, he felt slightly displeased and asked in a deep voice, "What brings you here?"
Neither of them were reckless, yet they trespassed into the courtyard, stumbled into the maze, and even encountered the barrier. Their urgency suggests that something important must be amiss!
Startled, Su Mo'er stood up and said, "Uncle-Master, something has escaped from the secret realm."
"..."
"..."
They already know about this.
Rong Yu placed the teacup back on the table. "How did you know?"
Su Mo'er flipped her left hand, revealing a parchment scroll. She handed it over, saying, "Two days ago, someone anonymously sent a message to the sect, saying that disciples from various sects were causing trouble for my Tianzhi Sect disciples in the secret realm, and were later killed by... by the young man who was actually the Demon Lord. Furthermore, disciples from various sects died at the hands of their own kind. The details were listed clearly and thoroughly. Therefore, I dare to guess that the scroll should have belonged to the secret realm."
"..." This guess is almost certainly correct.
Geng Qi and Rong Yu exchanged a glance, both showing a hint of surprise in their eyes.
Originally, it was thought that after the consciousness of the secret realm escaped, it would first gather the major sects to attack the demon realm, or make things difficult for the Yi Ling Sect. Unexpectedly, it did neither of these things!
It was trapped in the desolate swamp for tens of thousands of years, and then buried in the corpse forest by the former demon lord for thousands of years. After so long of loneliness, perhaps hatred was not so important to it. What it wanted was something new and exciting.
Qing Han once said that half of those who entered the Desolate Swamp Secret Realm survived, and of those half, at least half were killed by others. Despite the repeated warnings from the seniors of various sects before entering the secret realm, people could not control their desires after entering. They killed to steal treasures or conspired with others. These things were done in an extremely secretive manner. Even if their fellow disciples had some suspicions after they came out, they had no evidence and could only sigh with regret.
This was an open secret among the various sects.
Now, however, a scroll of parchment has been delivered to the sects openly and legitimately, its intention to sow discord is obvious. The major sects outwardly feign magnanimity and compliance, but if what is written on the parchment is true, they will inevitably suspect each other behind the scenes, and may even sow the seeds of hatred. Under the open and covert struggles, it will eventually erupt, and the world will be in chaos. In the eyes of the "Secret Realm," all of this is probably just a show.
Seeing the unusual expressions on their faces, Su Mo'er sensed something and tentatively asked, "Did Martial Uncle already know about this?"
Rong Yu did not answer, but instead asked, "Is there anything else?"
"..." This is practically an invitation to leave!
Su Mo'er coughed awkwardly.
The reason she came here was because the sheepskin scroll had entered the sect, but the sect leader had been searching everywhere without success. She was entrusted by the sect elders to find the young sect leader. During their visit to the forbidden area in the back mountain, the two left without saying goodbye. Several peak masters guessed that the young sect leader was still with the Demon Lord and dared not come to look for him, so they sent her, who had connections, to search for him. This was also the other reason she came here.
"It is about sending troops to Arashiyama."
She lowered her head slightly.
The news of the Emperor and the Crown Prince's unpleasant parting in the Zichen Palace has already spread throughout the palace. Wouldn't it be inviting trouble for her to ask at this time?
