Huo Qi received the news and hurried over. Sang Qingxiao exchanged a few words with him, smiling, and handed Lao Lu a generous amount of food before sending him off.
I could roughly guess the hiding place of the Mirror Demon. Huo Qi smiled, likely thinking of a method to force him out. I would wait and see.
Misha interjected, saying that this matter needed to be resolved before reaching Pujisi. Xuan Yin had sent me a message that Wisdom Supreme was coming.
Wisdom Supreme? It was rare for him to take action himself; such attention made me wonder if the Drunken Man's intentions were not merely about the wine. Misha, during my last visit to Pujisi, Wisdom Supreme had been quite taken with you, especially your Nine Relics.
He was dreaming!
Sang Qingxiao added fuel to the fire, mentioning our Little Buddha, who was now your disciple. After all this time spent teaching him, it was likely that Wisdom Supreme would want him back. They had valid reasons for wanting him; if we refused, we would indeed be in the wrong.
Well, we could always fight! I had long wanted to give him a good beating!
In the Court hall, Zheng Moru, upon seeing Xuande Emperor, seemed to find someone he could confide in. The tension in his body relaxed instantly as tears streamed down his face; his gaze made it clear that he saw Xuande Emperor as the only person he could trust.
Your Majesty! I am guilty; I do not know where I have provoked these Evil Spirits from!
Qi Xiaomian coughed abruptly, interrupting him. Loyalty and Righteousness Marquis, it is too early to determine them as Evil Spirits. We have discussed this issue thoroughly before. The first wave of ghostly figures resembles the souls of the Western Army, while the second wave bears a striking resemblance to those from the north.
We have also consulted with the Demon Catcher and High Monk about this matter. They concluded that those ghostly figures harbor no malice towards others but are filled with hostility specifically towards your Loyalty and Righteousness Manor.
At this moment, what Loyalty and Righteousness Marquis should do is not condemn himself but rather resolve the issue as quickly as possible.
Day after day, everyone rushed to watch the spectacle. In the court, officials yawned continuously; in the wells, families were so exhausted they couldn’t even attend to their morning business.
The capital city Early in the Morning was listless; what kind of appearance was that? Wouldn’t it just give other countries something to laugh at?
Xuande Emperor smirked slightly; I must admit, this kid’s angle of argument was quite interesting.
Zheng Moru felt anger rising; how could he continue speaking after this? He could only cry out a few more times: Your Majesty, I truly do not know!
Qi Xiaomian spoke again: Since you do not know, let me help you sort it out; perhaps we can find some clues.
Loyalty and Righteousness Marquis, given your experiences, it is normal for you to have connections with those from the north. But what does the Western Army have to do with you?
I heard that a group of Merchants arrived at your manor from the west yesterday.
Zheng Moru hurriedly replied: Your Majesty, I assure you my connection with those Merchants is solely for my legs.
Although my leg is crippled, I still have some sensation, especially in gloomy weather, where the alternating itch and pain is truly unbearable. I have sought help from the Imperial Physicians, but they too are at a loss.
I searched far and wide and learned that the Dayu Dynasty has a type of ointment that, when applied to the knee and rubbed until it warms up, yields good results. I entrusted the Dayu merchants to bring it back for me.
Most of my communication with him has been through the steward. If the Yongxin Marquis still has doubts, he may investigate as he pleases.
