Chapter 959 The Crouching Dragon and the Young Phoenix
"Sects are sects, and personal relationships are personal relationships. Is there a problem?"
Xia Ruoxi readily admitted that her relationship with Zhao Mu was not bad, and asked in return, "Moreover, the Ji family and Senior Brother Zhao are also at odds, but Ji Qingyue is still engaged to him, and even your elder brother Ji Haoxuan is on friendly terms with Senior Brother Zhao."
She naturally knew where the other party's suspicions lay.
It's simply that Zhao Mu and the Xuan Tian Dao Sect are mortal enemies, and it seems abnormal for her to travel with him, leading to suspicions that there's something going on between them.
"That's true, I was the one who was narrow-minded!"
Ji Wenxuan gave a self-deprecating laugh, then waved his hand and said, "Zhao Mu, I am determined to get the Golden Dragon Marrow!"
After saying that, he slowly left the spot.
"This guy is definitely different from before."
Watching Ji Wenxuan's disappearing figure, Xia Ruoxi made this comment.
"Between life and death, one will always gain some insights. After all these years, if this guy is still as stupid as he was back then, he would probably have been marginalized by the Ji family long ago. Even if he has a noble status, he would at most be a carefree young master."
Ancient families like the Hime family, whose history spans millions of years, face fierce internal competition.
Even if he is Ji Yiyuan's own son, if he is not capable, he will gradually be marginalized. If he practices nepotism, it is impossible for his family to continue for hundreds of years and become an important force in the Kunwu Continent.
"Too!"
Xia Ruoxi chuckled lightly and said calmly, "I'll take care of this person for you!"
"Are you confident?"
Zhao Mu glanced at the green tea girl with some surprise. To be honest, even he hadn't been able to see through Ji Wenxuan's true nature in such a short time, yet Xia Ruoxi was so confident.
"Isn't Senior Brother Zhao underestimating me a bit too much?"
Xia Ruoxi winked at Zhao Mu and said, "If we really fight, it's hard to say who will end up on top!"
"..."
We were trying to get down to business, but you steered the conversation here again.
You big green tea b*tch, just a few hours ago you were kneeling and begging for mercy, and now you're all good?
"Fine, whatever you say!"
Zhao Mu didn't take Ji Wenxuan seriously, even though the latter had already undergone a transformation. The one who truly deserved his attention was Ji Haoxuan, who was truly unfathomable.
He shrugged and said, "Anyway, I'm just working for you."
"Don't worry, Senior Brother Zhao, Junior Sister has prepared many gifts to repay you. These past few days are just the beginning. I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"
We look forward to your performance!
Zhao Mu's lips curled up slightly. This green tea bitch knows how to play the game, much better than anyone else. Even he, an experienced driver, was impressed. He wondered where she learned it from some ancient scripture. It was simply amazing.
They didn't linger at the market. After strolling around for a while, they found a restaurant that catered specifically to cultivators and sat down to have something to eat.
The location facing the street offers an unobstructed view of the scene below.
There happened to be a bulletin board, and a group of people came over carrying an imperial edict. After posting it, they looked up and saw the contents of the edict.
"The time was set for three days from now."
Zhao Mu casually picked up the tea that Xia Ruoxi had just poured for him, took a sip, and praised, "Making tea and pouring tea, it's all thanks to you, Junior Sister Xia!"
"Oh?"
Xia Ruoxi asked, somewhat puzzled, "Why?"
"It tastes great!"
???
Xia Ruoxi was confused; she had no idea how to make tea.
However, before she could think further, she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of her eye. Wu Xuan, dressed in a pink silk dress, slowly appeared on the stairs, guided by the waiter.
Several people followed behind, clearly belonging to Wudi City.
"Your little sweetheart is here, Senior Brother Zhao!"
"A lover? Who is that!"
Zhao Mu turned his head with some surprise, following Xia Ruoxi's gaze, and found that it was Wu Xuan.
This is quite a coincidence.
In such a vast capital city as the Great Xia Dynasty, with countless restaurants, it's amazing that I could run into this.
When Xia Ruoxi discovered Wu Xuan, Wu Xuan also happened to notice the two people sitting in the elegant booth by the window facing the street.
"Fellow Daoist Wu Xuan, please have a seat with me!"
Xia Ruoxi called out, gesturing for the other person to come over and join them.
Seeing Da Lvcha's brilliant move, Zhao Mu was both amused and exasperated. She's really getting addicted to teasing people!
When Wu Xuan spotted him, she showed signs of turning to run away. You're going to scare her to death.
"Hey hey hey~"
"Where are you going, Fellow Daoist Wu Xuan?"
"Let's sit together, it's rare to run into each other!"
Seeing Wu Xuan turn and leave, Xia Ruoxi chased after her and called out a few times, which scared Wu Xuan so much that she ran even faster.
"Is it fun?"
"Feeling sorry for him? Senior Brother Zhao."
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
"I was just testing whether the effects of what happened before were still there. Now it seems that Wu Xuan is really scared of you!"
Xia Ruoxi giggled.
How could a naive young woman be a match for her senior brother Zhao?
You should know that she was willing to risk her life to win him over, and it took her countless hardships to finally succeed.
A complete stranger asking for something as rare and precious as Golden Dragon Marrow? What a joke!
On treasures.
Even though she was the granddaughter of the Grand Elder of Martial Emperor City, her wealth was definitely not as great as theirs.
The spoils from robbing those unscrupulous Taoist priests back then would be enough for a second-rate power, or even a slightly less-than-first-rate power, to accumulate over countless years.
After all, there are so many Earth-grade spiritual artifacts, and even some Heaven-grade ones.
Downstairs, Wu Xuan left inexplicably, leaving everyone else in Wudi City bewildered.
"Wu Xuan, what's wrong? Wasn't that Zhao Mu just now? Why didn't you go over and join us?"
"Yes, Zhao Mu was a great help in enabling us to obtain so many divine substances during the Fire God Festival. Although you and Wu Yao and Wu Shu don't get along, Zhao Mu..."
"Little sister, you're acting strangely. When you first met Zhao Mu a couple of days ago, didn't you take the initiative to go and find him? Why are you acting like this now..."
"Yes, you've been acting a bit strange ever since you came back from Zhao Mu's place that day."
What happened between you and Zhao Mu?
"..."
Wu Ling and the others chattered on and on, giving Wu Xuan a headache. She said with a slightly dark expression, "If you're willing to sit down and talk to him, then you can go upstairs. I'm not going."
After saying this, Wu Xuan fled the restaurant as if she were escaping, leaving Wu Ling and the others standing there, Zhang Er completely bewildered.
"What's going on?"
"Are you having a fight?"
"Could it be that my little sister was bullied by Zhao Mu?"
"How could that be? That guy is Wu Yao's fiancé. Given Wu Yao's relationship with Xiao Xuan, do you think he would dare to lay a hand on her?"
"That's true. So what's going on with Wu Xuan?"
"Could it be that Xiaoxuan had a crush on him, but he rejected her?"
"Hey, you know what, it's actually possible, and it fits Xiaoxuan's current situation quite well."
"Should we help Xiaoxuan? I think Zhao Mu is a pretty good guy."
How can I help?
"Look at me."
"Shall we go up?"
"Where's Xiaoxuan? Are you just going to leave her?"
"What, you're still thinking about protecting that girl? Can you even beat her?"
"Uh~"
Wu Ling scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "Yeah, that's true!"
