Mo Tianheng continued: "It’s quite coincidental that, that night, my people happened to witness the entire process of that mysterious Spirit Slash’s confrontation with Nangong Xiongba."
His gaze slightly tightened: "And after a simple healing, the opposite party unhesitatingly... headed straight to the Eastern Domain of Lingyun Mansion!"
Zhou Qing’s face suddenly darkened.
Mo Tianheng said aningfully: "Being a businessman, I naturally prioritize profit. But compared to ordinary trade, I prefer investnt."
He put down the teacup, a deep aning flashing in his eyes: "Besides you, I’ve secretly invested in soone else."
"Oh? Who is it?" Zhou Qing instinctively asked, then realized it was abrupt, apologizing, "It was presumptuous of ."
Mo Tianheng waved it off, smiling: "No problem. Since I brought it up, it was ant to be shared with you."
He stroked his beard, reminiscing: "I’ve invested in this person for years, but he always keeps a distance from , thinking he cannot bring benefit."
"Although he is a prince, he dislikes political scheming conflicts, even changing his na and traveling for years."
A figure popped into Zhou Qing’s mind as he tentatively suggested: "Fourth Prince?"
Mo Tianheng clapped his hands and laughed: "It seems you indeed know each other! Yes, it is Fourth Prince Xuanyuan Crane, but now... perhaps White Crane is more fitting."
Zhou Qing nodded slightly.
After parting from the Taichu Dojo in the Witch Ancestor Mountain Range last ti, White Crane was indeed troubled, only ntioning he’d been trapped in the dojo for years, now had matters to address, and hurriedly left.
Thinking about it now, he must have returned to the Imperial City.
Moreover, this ti Second Senior Sister ca, besides seeking Senior Brother and personal training, may also... involve White Crane.
Understanding flickered through Zhou Qing’s eyes—
Second Senior Sister may have developed feelings for that man with caterpillar-like thick eyebrows.
Especially in the dojo, that mont when White Crane decisively seized the Blood Burning Pill, willing to harm himself rather than let Second Senior Sister face danger, anyone could see his heart intent.
Not to ntion, he straightened his impression of from "little brother-in-law" to "respected little brother-in-law," always open-minded with no distractions.
Mo Tianheng’s voice pulled Zhou Qing back to reality: "Nangong Xiongba’s pursuit of the Ghost Mastiff, White Crane has always been watching from the shadows and is quite attentive. That night, he was actually lurking outside the Nangong Family."
Elder Mo’s gaze tightened: "Moreover... he spotted a familiar face, who also secretly contacted Nangong Xiongba."
Cold light flashed in Zhou Qing’s eyes: "Seventh Prince?"
Mo Tianheng showed surprise: "You’re aware as well?"
But he soon shook his head slightly, "But according to White Crane, Seventh Prince was wrapped tightly at the ti, theoretically should not have been recognized..."
"Forget it." He said in a deep voice, "This Seventh Prince must have reached so agreent with Nangong Xiongba. Then, Nangong Xiongba headed straight to Lingyun Mansion!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Qing’s heart sank—
It’s indeed him!
Mo Tianheng continued: "Afterwards, White Crane imdiately found and earnestly pleaded for to go to Taiqing Sect."
"Back when he camped outside Taiqing Sect, he had seen Seventh Prince and Ninth Princess, so the other party knew about Ghost Mastiff."
"Though I don’t know what Seventh Prince and Nangong Xiongba discussed this ti, a secret eting at night is certainly ominous!"
"After all, the royalty’s tacit rule is to enlist Spirit Slash families for support."
Mo Tianheng said aningfully: "How is this not a ans of the Imperial Family to tightly bind various forces?"
"White Crane didn’t know ’Mr. Ji’ was you at the ti, but he understood Ghost Mastiff’s origin. Moreover..."
Elder Mo showed a hint of a smile: "Taiqing Sect also has the girl he fancies. Hence, he implored to make the trip, to prevent... accidents."
"Unfortunately, I was delayed by urgent matters those days. By the ti I arrived, the situation had settled, fortunately there were no surprises at Taiqing Sect."
"So, do you understand my implication?"
Zhou Qing’s face was icy cold.
Elder Mo’s aning was already clear—Taiqing Sect’s clue was definitely leaked by Seventh Prince.
"Truly a despicable scoundrel!" Murderous intent surged in Zhou Qing’s heart.
If the Lu Family sisters weren’t present, it’s terrifying to imagine what the sect might have faced.
He might regret it for the rest of his life because of it.
"In that case, we will settle this account thoroughly in the future." Zhou Qing had already reached a decision in his heart.
Seeing this, Mo Tianheng continued: "To express my apology, I specifically visited, but was gently refused by your Sect Leader, Cao Zhengyang."
"Oh?" Zhou Qing appeared slightly surprised.
Elder Mo explained: "In fact, during that ti, many people heard about this matter and were taking the opportunity to curry favor, including the five Spirit Severing Realm cultivators still at the Witch Ancestor Dojo."
At this point, he couldn’t help but stroke his beard: "And by then, everyone in Taiqing Sect already knew about Mr. Ji–"
"Of course, it was Nangong Xiongba himself who said it." Mo Tianheng suddenly snorted, "Although I don’t quite understand why he has so much idle talk."
Cold intent flickered in Zhou Qing’s eyes.
"I had to declare my relationship with you and even ntioned collecting wood attribute Spirit Stones for you before they believed, that’s when we t a female Spirit Severing Realm cultivator from your sect."
Zhou Qing nodded thoughtfully.
"Through conversation, I learned that originally three of them had a chance to retain Nangong Xiongba, but soone rescued him." Mo Tianheng’s expression turned stern.
"Who was it?" Eyes sharp, imdiately asked.
Mo Tianheng lowered his voice: "At the ti, they moved extrely fast, almost like a shadow. But your sect’s Spirit Severing Realm still caught a crucial mont."
"When they made their move, they used the Xuanyuan Royal Family’s secret Dragon Taming Hand!"
Zhou Qing’s eyes narrowed as he slowly leaned back in his chair, his face darkening: "Dragon Taming Hand... Xuanyuan Royal Family..."
"As far as I know, the closest person at that ti would be Xuanyuan Shuo attacking Taichu Dojo at Vast Mansion."
