Chapter 916 Chi Yanyun's Admonition
"Someone dug up her younger sister's grave, and the body is missing. She had to rush back immediately, and seeing that you hadn't returned yet, she left first."
Yan Bingqing explained the reasons to Zhao Mu in a clear and concise manner.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Mu suddenly realized what was happening and frowned.
What caused Ji Xinyi's indifference? It was because her entire family was wiped out. She watched helplessly as her whole family died in front of her, and she was powerless to do anything about it. The Ji family's inaction even led them to believe that she had killed them all.
But Zhao Mu knew that Ji Xinyi was cold on the outside but warm on the inside, and that she valued her family the most.
That's why the theft of her younger sister's body prompted her to drop everything and rush back.
"At the time, I wanted to go back with her, but my mother stopped me."
Wu Yao chimed in, "By the way, Ji Xinyi said that if she needs any help, she will send a message back. She also asked us to pass on a message to you."
What message did she ask you to deliver?
"You gave her hope for life. Her life is yours, and I will never do anything reckless with it."
"Whoo~"
Zhao Mu breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, he was quite worried that this woman might do something stupid, but now that things were like this, there was no need to worry. Although Ji Xinyi didn't talk much, every word she spoke was as hard as if it had been forged from diamond, and she was absolutely not lying.
There is no need to go to the Ji family for now.
As for informing Ji Qingyue and asking her to help out, Zhao Mu felt it was unnecessary.
Allowing Ji Xinyi to maintain her usual style and keep to herself is the best way to protect her.
"But... what exactly is the purpose of digging up graves and stealing corpses?"
Zhao Mu was puzzled and muttered to himself, "Could it be because Ji Xinyi hasn't appeared for so many years that the Ji family wants to force her to return in this way?"
"No, no, no, it shouldn't be that bad. Even if the Ji family wanted to discard their usefulness, they wouldn't use such a brutal method."
Could it be...?
He suddenly remembered what Ji Xinyi had told him years ago: "My little sister has exceptional talent and should shine. Could it be that someone wants to use the corpse for something?"
The Kunwu Continent has too many races and countless methods. Even the most knowledgeable person on the entire continent cannot know everything. Corpse refining... that might actually exist.
However, he really had no way of knowing about this.
Tomb raiding...
Got it!
Zhao Mu's eyes lit up. That fat Taoist priest must know something about this. After all, he was a professional grave digger and must know more or less about such sinister matters.
"Do you know where that fatso is?"
After regaining his senses, Zhao Mu looked down at the two women.
"Fatty?"
Yan Bingqing and Wu Yao were both somewhat puzzled.
"It's that unscrupulous Taoist priest, Wu De."
"I don't know!"
Wu Yao shook her head.
"Zhao Mu, are you going to rob him again?"
Yan Bingqing asked curiously.
"No."
Zhao Mu shook his head and explained, "This guy is a professional when it comes to tomb raiding and stealing corpses. Perhaps he can find out what the purpose was of others stealing Ji Xinyi's body."
"I've instructed the people of Wudi City to keep an eye out."
"it is good!"
Zhao Mu nodded, then picked Wu Yao up in his arms, looked down at her and smiled, "You're so sensible, tonight, your husband will have to reward you properly."
"no!"
Wu Yao immediately refused.
"why?"
Zhao Mu was puzzled. The two had missed opportunities several times, and now that they finally had a chance to become husband and wife, why did they refuse?
"Big sister, you tell me!"
???
Zhao Mu looked at Yan Bingqing with a head full of questions, wondering what these two women were up to.
“You have the remnants of another woman’s yin essence on you. This yin essence is very precious and very strong. You must completely refine it before you consider taking Wu Yao, otherwise it will be detrimental to you.”
"..."
Seeing his clueless senior sister solemnly expose everything, Zhao Mu suddenly realized the truth while feeling somewhat embarrassed.
He hadn't expected that these two women's sense of smell would be so keen that they could even detect the Little Sword King's Yin energy.
Indeed, they were right. Yanlan's primordial yin was very powerful, arguably the strongest primordial yin he had ever obtained, even stronger and better than that of his silly senior sister. This was one of the reasons why Yu Ying refused.
"Then it's your turn, senior sister."
Zhao Mu changed his target, preparing to tease Yan Bingqing.
Can bear fruit.
"Okay, okay!"
"..."
Zhao Mu was both amused and exasperated. It turned out that his silly senior sister was even more anxious than he was.
With a wave of his hand, the door closed.
Silent all night.
The next morning, Zhao Mu woke up to find Yan Bingqing not in the room, and the rich woman sleeping next to him.
Last night, the silly senior sister was halfway through her dual cultivation when she suddenly hit a bottleneck. She went to Chi Yanyun's place to break through to the Yin-Yang Realm, which completely baffled Zhao Mu.
No, he was just taking a nap, and he's about to break through to the Yin-Yang Realm. Could he be an excellent cultivation vessel?
In comparison, Wu Yao was also quite shocked.
She had thought Yan Bingqing was just joking, since she had never heard of anyone breaking through to the Yin-Yang Realm in this way before, but it really opened her eyes last night.
It can only be said that Zhao Mu and Yan Bingqing are both beyond the comprehension of ordinary people; they are simply outrageous.
"It's so beautiful, it's a pity we can only look at it and not eat it!"
Zhao Mu reached out and touched Wu Yao's smooth and beautiful profile, and couldn't help but sigh. Although she had served him for several hours last night, he was still not satisfied.
"Zhao Mu, stop messing around!"
Wu Yao raised her hand and slapped him, scolding, "If you want it, hurry up and refine the primordial yin in your body. You're making me uncomfortable too."
"..."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Mu was left speechless, unsure whether to laugh or cry.
Even though I've already left the Cangwu Realm, that woman Yanlan is still affecting my life. I'll definitely teach her a lesson when we meet again.
"Let's go see Mother first."
Zhao Mu patted Wu Yao's waist and hips, then rolled off the bed.
A day and a night is enough time for his aunt and mother to talk, and he needs to check on his mother's injuries.
Moreover, he wouldn't be able to stay in Shattered Star City for more than a few days. At most, he would have to wait until his silly senior sister successfully broke through to the Yin-Yang Realm before he had to prepare to return to the Hunyuan Taiqing Palace.
Although he also wanted to stay here with his daughter, it was far too early for him to retire and enjoy his old age.
There are still various matters waiting for him to handle, such as the Little Phoenix's affairs, Ji Xinyi's affairs, and the hidden dangers of the wealthy woman. Moreover, as long as his strength does not stand at the top of this world, he has no right to rest.
Danger is everywhere!
"Ok!"
As Wu Yao nodded, she got up from her bed, dressed herself, and then went with Zhao Mu to find Yin Qiuyue.
Yan Bingqing is still in seclusion.
Chi Yanyun is taking care of the baby again.
Today, Xiao Yinuo didn't bother Xiaobaibai. Instead, she was awkwardly sitting cross-legged in meditation, instructing Chi Yanyun on cultivation.
"Don't give the child so many pills. Even if your pills are of high quality, they are still medicine, not candy. With Yinuo's aptitude, he doesn't need to eat these things at all."
"Uh~"
Zhao Mu scratched his head awkwardly and chuckled, "I know."
