Chapter 1291 So That's It

"I told... I told Master the truth."

Mo Mengsheng said with a guilty look on his face: "I... I told Master the truth, but Master didn't... blame me. Instead, he comforted me with kind words and... he even gave me the most secretive skills of the Mo family and asked me to preserve the inheritance of the Mo family for him! He said that the Mo family's catastrophe was coming... I... As Qin Zheng's man, if I can make great contributions again... maybe... maybe I can survive."

Su Jing looked at Mo Mengsheng steadily, and a look of shock suddenly flashed in his eyes. He said: "So... you killed your master?"

"Master... wait for death."

Mo Meng Sheng said with a self-deprecating look on her face, "In fact, if we continue... to resist, maybe... we can make them pay more... price, but... but because the Mo family saint betrayed the Mo family and killed the Mo family... master, so... the Mo family's defeat was super... beyond everyone's... imagination, I... I will be called a spy by those... those people in the same sect, and they are right... I... I am a spy lurking in the Mo family!"

"Then why are you imprisoned in the Jixia Sword Palace... Wait, forget it, you don't have to explain, I understand."

Su Jing understood.

I'm afraid Qin Zheng wants to get the Mo family swordsmanship of the Mo family, but this thing is the most core treasure of the Mo family that the Mo family master gave to Mo Mengsheng to pass on. Since she has decided to live and die with the Mo family, she naturally cannot hand it over.

Qin Zheng was a tough person. Even though he couldn't get what he wanted, he didn't get angry and kill Mo Mengsheng. After all, if Mo Mengsheng killed the Mo family leader with her own hands and ended up in a miserable way, it might make those who were also in the shadows feel disheartened... So he deliberately spared her life and ordered her to spread the Mo family's teachings in the Jixia Sword Palace.

Since you regard yourself as the saint of the Mo family, I will let you really treat her as the saint of the Mo family!

And then, it was a lonely life for several years until she saw me.

Maybe she found resonance with the lonely people in me, and knew that she wanted to escape, so she gave this hope to me and entrusted me to help her find a suitable successor.

"Well... almost... it's what you... you think."

Mo Mengsheng nodded and said, "You... you are very smart... you must have guessed it."

"I guessed it."

Su Jing said softly, "Not only did I guess it, I also found the most suitable successor for your Mo family. I have taught her the Mo family swordsmanship. She is a branch of the Mo family. The skills she practices are also deeply rooted in the Mo family skills. She can exert the extremely strong lethality of the Mo family swordsmanship... Well, Qianqian is simply the most suitable successor of the Mo family. When I met her, she always regarded herself as the saint of the Mo family. The Mo family was founded by her. At present, there is only her... but it is indeed the continuation of the Mo family..."

"Really?"

Mo Mengsheng nodded with satisfaction and smiled: "If that's the case... then I... I won't have any regrets."

"Don't make it sound like you're entrusting me with something... But what did you mean by that just now?"

Su Jing narrowed his eyes and said, "Your sneak attack just now... I almost lost to you. I really thought for a moment that you really wanted to kill me."

"It's just... I heard... I heard from His Majesty that you're very... very powerful, so I just wanted to verify it."

Mo Mengsheng said seriously, "Absolutely... I definitely haven't seen you living so freely outside... with women on your left and right, and a beautiful woman on your sleeves, while I... am alone in the Jixia Sword Palace, so... so I don't have any psychological imbalance. Don't worry."

"You've already said it."

Su Jing couldn't help laughing.

Mo Mengsheng also smiled.

He chuckled and said, "I just want you to see my current strength... Over the years, I have never given up... But... Su Jing, you... you really surprised me. You are the young master of Yin Yang Dao Sect... Su Jing, who practices both Taoism and martial arts, and is very powerful. You also hold... the Enlightenment Mirror and the Snow Heart Holy Crystal... these treasures... And... I can't really beat... you."

"It's just a coincidence."

Su Jing asked, "But according to what you said, Qin Zheng should not have assigned you any tasks for many years, right? Why now... he is willing to let you leave Jixia Sword Palace?"

"This... this..."

Mo Mengsheng showed a slight hesitation on his face.

After hesitating for a while, he took a deep breath and said, "Su Jing... do you know why His Majesty has never assigned me any tasks for many years... He has long regarded me as the real... Mo family saint, but... he suddenly assigned me a task?"

"Why?"

"I... I only figured it out afterwards."

Mo Mengsheng sighed softly: "His Majesty gave me... a... secret scroll, which contains my task this time."

"What's written in it?"

"I feel... this scroll... is not for me... to see, but for you... to see."

Mo Mengsheng looked at Su Jing steadily, with a tangled look on his face, and said: "I... to be honest, I don't want to show it to you... but... this is your business... I must respect you... I can't make a decision for you... right?"

"For me?"

Su Jing watched Mo Mengsheng take out a small folded white paper from his waist!

Yes, it was the papermaking technique that he taught Li Zhao in the Tang Dynasty.

Open...

The mission description is very simple, assassinate Su Jing!

And the other contents in it... should never be shown to a killer who is responsible for executing the mission. The killer does not need to know so much.

But...

"This...this...is this true?"

Su Jing stared at the secret scroll in his hand blankly, with a look of shock on his face.

It feels that all the weird things about the madman before, after reading this scroll, seem to be explained.

So...it turned out to be like this.

"Well...what the secret scroll said should be true! Maybe it's false...I'm not sure."

Mo Mengsheng said: "Over the years, I have never been assigned a mission...again. Strictly speaking...I no longer belong to...the shadow...but suddenly...his Majesty let me go...and gave me this secret scroll. He couldn't possibly not...know our relationship, but...he did this, I'm afraid...he wanted to use me to...give this thing...to you."

She spoke stumblingly, and after finishing this very long sentence, she couldn't help but breathe a little.

"I... always feel... there is a conspiracy... but I miss you very much... and... after I get out, I don't plan to go back... so I want to find you... we'll talk about this later."

"It's better to say it."

Su Jing looked at the secret scroll in his hand and said softly: "So... it turned out to be like this."

Thanks to Xinghai Zhutian for the 100 rewards!
