#284 - A female monk

The Black Lotus Sect Leader stared intently at Mo Zhu'er.

Mo Zhu'er's excuses were all dispensable.

Xia He wanted to kick them away after using them, refusing to cooperate with the Black Lotus Sect?

She could say whatever she wanted.

Because the person was already dead, with no way to verify, and even Xia He's soul had dissipated, leaving no chance for reincarnation.

Xia He's power waned after Xu Cang and the others emerged? Mo Zhu'er cut her losses in time?

Perhaps Xu Cang did have many advantages at that time.

But until the very end, who knew what might happen?

So-called advantages and disadvantages were merely subjective judgments based on the environment at the time.

Moreover, how Xu Cang and the others came out was even more intriguing.

The existence of Xu Cang and the others was a top secret within the Four Great Sacred Grounds and Five Great Sects, only revealed to the next Sacred Ground Master or Sect Leader upon inheriting the position; no one else knew.

So, could it be that Mo Zhu'er really didn't tell someone about Xu Cang's location?

Everything Mo Zhu'er said was just an excuse.

And full of loopholes.

But although full of loopholes, it was very useful.

If others believed it, these excuses would become the truth.

If others didn't believe it, these excuses would be mere sophistry.

"Tomorrow, the Black Lotus Sect will hold an interrogation meeting. Tell these words to those hall masters and elders!" The Black Lotus Sect Leader waved his hand. "Now, you may leave. Think carefully about how to justify your excuses to the other hall masters and elders."

"Yes, Sect Leader." Mo Zhu'er took her leave.

Watching Mo Zhu'er gradually disappear from his sight, the Black Lotus Sect Leader slowly closed his eyes and shook his head.

"Zhu'er! How was it? Wait! You actually came back alive?"

Mo Zhu'er had just returned to her room when she saw Jiang Ruyan rushing forward, grabbing her small hand anxiously.

"Why couldn't I come back alive?"

Mo Zhu'er smiled, gently shaking off Jiang Ruyan's small hand and pouring herself a cup of tea.

Jiang Ruyan sat beside Mo Zhu'er, her dress taut against her round buttocks, outlining a beautiful curve: "That's true. No matter what, he's still your biological father, and he won't do anything to you. No matter what you do, his heart is always with you."

"You're wrong about that," Mo Zhu'er shook her head. "To him, all he cares about is the Black Lotus Sect, all he cares about is his great path. In my heart, that guy is no different from Xia He, both extremely selfish. Otherwise, my mother wouldn't have died back then."

Jiang Ruyan sighed: "No matter what, he's still your father."

Mo Zhu'er's eyes curved into crescents: "I don't have such a father."

Jiang Ruyan: "."

"Forget it, forget it, let's not talk about this," Jiang Ruyan waved her hand. "Then what about your situation? Are you innocent?"

"Innocent?" Mo Zhu'er smiled. "How could that be possible? There's an interrogation meeting tomorrow, and all those old fogeys will come. Many old guys are siding with other holy sons and holy daughters, and they can't wait for me to die, so their supported person will have one less competitor."

"This" Jiang Ruyan stood up, pacing anxiously. "Then your situation isn't any better now? I told you back then, you shouldn't have come back. We should have gone directly to other sects. So what if the Black Lotus Sect issued a wanted order and chased us? There are so many sects in this world that are against the Black Lotus Sect. How far can his hand reach?"

Mo Zhu'er reached out and gently tapped Jiang Ruyan's forehead: "Have you been a city lord for too long and become stupid? I naturally have things I want to do. You don't need to worry about this matter. Nothing will happen to me."

Jiang Ruyan: "You're so confident?"

"That's natural." Mo Zhu'er gently stroked her sleeves. "First, let me ask you, the Black Lotus Sect's plan failed, so it failed. What good would the Black Lotus Sect get from killing me?"

"This" Jiang Ruyan couldn't answer for a moment.

"The Black Lotus Sect wouldn't get any benefits."

The corners of Mo Zhu'er's mouth turned up.

"The Black Lotus Sect, and even most of the Demonic Path in the Western Regions, are extremely selfish. All they care about is immediate gain.

Since Xia He is already dead and the Black Lotus Sect's plan has failed, that's a fact.

And I obtained the Heavenly Mystery Sect's Dragon Vein, my strength has risen to another level, and my future is limitless. Even becoming an immortal is a guaranteed thing for me. That's also a fact.

Furthermore, I have already completely refined the Dragon Vein.

If the Black Lotus Sect really killed me at this time, then the Dragon Vein would also be gone. The Black Lotus Sect's loss would be even greater. After preparing for so many years, they would really have nothing.

If you were those elders of the Black Lotus Sect, what choice would you make?"

Jiang Ruyan: "."

"Don't worry."

Mo Zhu'er yawned, kicked off her small shoes, lay sideways on the couch, her two jade legs intertwined, the white tenderness forming a sharp contrast with the black of her skirt, her perky buttocks like mountains, her curves graceful.

"Although many people want me to die, there are even more people who want me to live. I have already given the Black Lotus Sect a way out, and the Black Lotus Sect can only follow this way.

As far as I'm concerned, tomorrow is just a formality."

"That's good..." Hearing Mo Zhu'er say this, Jiang Ruyan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Speaking of which, how is that Shixin from Leiming Temple now? Where is she?" Mo Zhu'er asked.

"Shixin? That female monk?" Jiang Ruyan blinked. "Why do you care about her?"

Mo Zhu'er glared at Jiang Ruyan: "Aren't you talking nonsense? Shixin is very likely to be the leader of the entire Buddhist path in the future."

Jiang Ruyan looked at Mo Zhu'er in disbelief: "That female monk?"

Mo Zhu'er nodded and smiled: "It's that female monk."

Jiang Ruyan thought for a while: "I don't know the specific situation, but it seems that that female monk has been going to the Central Plains. She should be in..."

"Benefactor..." In a mountain village, a woman with a shaved head and wearing a kasaya stepped forward and asked for directions, "May I ask, what place is this?"

The old farmer looked at the woman in front of him, with red lips, white teeth, and snow-like skin, and was extremely surprised.

A monk?

A woman?

"May the benefactor please tell me what place this is?" The female monk asked again, her eyes as clear as the water of the sky.

Although the old farmer was extremely surprised, he still subconsciously stammered: "This... is... the border town of Wu Kingdom, Zhulu City."
