Entertainment of Spring and Autumn

Chapter 19 Stand Out

Xue Mu really wanted to say that you got the answer right: "If I say yes, will the suzerain kill me?"

"Finally, there is such an interesting man, this sect is reluctant to kill him. To be honest, I have completed my skills, but I don't have the worries of Xiaochan..." Xue Qingqiu was originally sitting cross-legged, but at this time his posture became a little sluggish, leaning on the cushion behind him, showing off his perfect and exquisite body unscrupulously, he replied lazily.

Xue Mu briefly glanced at the magnificent scenery of rolling mountains, and quickly lowered his eyes and didn't look any further.

Seeing him avoiding, Xue Qingqiu seemed to be doing it on purpose, his eyes were full of charm, and his voice was even more charming: "Why, since it is, why don't you dare to watch it?"

Xue Mu said indifferently: "The suzerain's charm is extraordinary, I'm afraid that seeing too much will disturb the pure heart and affect the discernment of thinking. After all, the suzerain invited me here to ask about serious matters, not just these children's topics."

Xue Qingqiu was slightly startled, his coquettish attitude slowly subsided, he took a serious look at Xue Mu, and sat up straight.

She suddenly understood a little bit, why Xiaochan would still be attracted by this man despite the alternative education she received since she was a child.

He is really different... At least, being so rational and calm is already a rare quality. If he started to practice martial arts early, he might have been famous in the world.

Xue Mu said again: "What's more, since the suzerain doesn't believe in love, this gesture is nothing more than thinking that I am interesting and intends to have fun. But I am not here to make toys and play games, and I have no intention of playing with them. After all, a man can only have the confidence to talk about other things after showing his own value."

Xue Qingqiu smiled slightly: "That's very good, I hope you are not just talking...Then what do you think of the current situation?"

Xue Mu breathed a sigh of relief, cleared up his words, and said slowly: "The various sects of the Demon Sect have been active in the dark since the early years, and they are now standing in the open. On the surface, it is because the suzerain's miraculous skills are world-class, or because the Acacia Sect has a wide range of contacts... In fact, I think the real reason is not the case, but that the Demon Sect has been tacitly supported by the imperial court. It is the bottom line of tacit understanding. Within the bottom line, the six sects will make certain concessions to Xingyuezong and will not really care about it. In other words, you actually have a certain degree of cooperative relationship."

Xue Qingqiu listened very carefully, his beautiful eyes had been quietly watching Xue Mu without blinking, and when he finished speaking, he suddenly stretched out his hand and made a move.

As if being carried by someone, a set of tea sets floated leisurely and landed on the desk between the two of them. Xue Qingqiu made tea with plain hands, and added a cup for Xue Mu: "Now that I think about it... I wanted to use Mr. as the accountant at the beginning, but I don't know who I am."

Not only is it not an accountant, nor is it developing a brothel industry, nor is it even just rescuing Kui Ye. Xue Mu sees things from a more macro perspective.

The change in the imperial court's attitude towards the Demon Sect reflects a change in the imperial court's entire rivers and lakes strategy. Of course Xue Qingqiu knew it himself, so he had a tacit understanding with the six doors. But it was because she had a secret meeting with the emperor that she knew the court's intentions and what she should do. But so far, countless people in the two ways of righteousness and magic have not been able to see through it. They all think that it is Taoism that eliminates demons, and some people call the emperor stupid.

Xue Qingqiu knew that Xue Mu's information was very little, and after observing clues from the sidelines for a couple of days, and a little basic communication with Xiao Chan, he was able to see it, and the analysis was not bad at all, which really shocked Xue Qingqiu.

Regardless of any era or culture, people's respect for wise men is the same, and has nothing to do with civil and military. None of the people who can practice martial arts to the peak is a real muscular idiot, and there are quite a few people with great talents.

Xue Mu obviously doesn't have any force, but in Xue Qingqiu's eyes at this moment, it seems to be full of infinite energy. This is an energy that is no less important than force. Momen respects the strong, and energy like Xue Mu also belongs to the strong. So she serves the tea with her own hands, which is a manifestation of her true respect.

Since Xue Mu entered this world, he has been constantly observing and thinking, and finally played its due role. It is like a cone falling into the bag, and it will stand out sooner or later.

Xue Mu took the tea and took a sip. The tea leaves are unfried green tea, boiled with water, the tea is also cold at this moment. But the entrance does not feel tasteless, but a very special fragrance lingers on the lips and tongue, which makes people feel refreshed. What's even more amazing is that the thirst caused by talking for so long was quenched in an instant, and the mouth was filled with fluid.

"Good tea." Xue Mu boasted, feeling somewhat regretful in his heart. The tea ceremony in this world seems to have not yet developed, just look at the natural green tea, but this kind of unscientific world natural tea has its own fantasy effect, this special fragrance can really crush the normal stir-fried tea street, even if you "invent" stir-fried tea, it is useless, it is a pity that it is a way of making money.

No... not sure. At least the appearance of brewing Kung Fu tea is high-end, and it might become popular among the upper-class pretenders... Besides, the special tea in this world might be even more effective when roasted? Give it a try if you have a chance...

Seeing Xue Mu lost in thought, Xue Qingqiu reminded: "About Kui Ye..."

Xue Mu put down his teacup, and pondered: "I had vague thoughts. Xia Houdi arrested Kui Ye to gain power, which is contrary to your secret cooperation, and she is at fault. The suzerain was angry and confronted her, presumably because he wanted to find higher-ups to put pressure on, such as... people around the emperor?"

Xue Qingqiu narrowed his eyes and said after a long time: "Why do you think we have someone beside the emperor?"

"Since you can get information about the emperor's inhumanity, at least there must be someone in the palace. Besides, since the emperor has communicated with the Demon Gate, there should be an intermediary with a certain status."

At this moment, Xue Qingqiu suddenly felt that it was fortunate that there was no such person on the other side, otherwise many things would be over... She felt a little tired for some reason, and sighed inaudibly: "Sir, it is not bad, please continue."

"The reason why the suzerain still wants to ask me for advice is because of some scruples, he doesn't want to have too much contact with that person, or he doesn't want to make the signs of that person's pro-demonism too obvious, so I hope I can provide other methods to open the situation."

Xue Qingqiu simply stopped talking and continued to pour a cup of tea for Xue Mu.

Xue Mu murmured, "Actually, Xia Houdi can make a breakthrough in this matter directly."

Xue Qingqiu finally found a chance to refute: "Xia Houdi's heart is as strong as iron, once a decision is made, it is difficult to shake it."

"Xiahoudi has obvious desires, and people who have desires can exchange them."

"What desire?"

"The desire to enhance the authority of the six doors. To put it bluntly, she caught Kuang Ye for this, but she should also know that this is not a good idea, and even a bit bad. After all, it is not her wish to turn against Xingyuezong, so she endured the humiliation of her by the suzerain today. If we can give her a better way, I believe it will be enough to make her give up Kuang Ye."

Xue Qingqiu nodded in agreement. To be honest, she didn't dare to imagine that the Six Doors would not let people go. Turning against Xingyuezong would not benefit the Six Doors at all. I don't know what happened to Xia Houdi.

"What can you do?"

Xue Mu shook his head: "It's best to let me talk to Xia Houdi, and understand some other details before I can come up with an idea, otherwise it's just a fantasy."

Xue Qingqiu stared at him for a long while: "You should know that to enhance the authority of the six doors is to increase the control of the imperial court. This is something that the imperial court has wanted to do for more than a thousand years but has been unable to do."

Xue Mu said indifferently: "Even the Demon Sect colluded with the Six Sects in private. It seems that there are things that are changing that cannot be achieved for more than a thousand years. It seems that there is one more thing."

"Then let's see Xia Houdi again tonight, and hope we can find a way to break the situation." Xue Qingqiu made a decisive decision, and then smiled sweetly, full of coquettishness: "If this can be done, there will be rewards."

At this moment, she once again showed the demeanor of the demon queen, seductive. Xue Mu smiled wryly in his heart, the prize can't be yourself, so why bother to wink... It's always a test of concentration, why can't people take a break?
