Chapter 592 Good things are ruined
Silence, endless silence.
Zhao Mu's enlightenment was like a bolt from the blue to Ji Qingyue.
But she couldn't say anything about it, and she wasn't even qualified to say anything.
In the matter between Zhao Mu and Ji Xinyi, both sides were victims, and even her Ji family was the dominant party.
"If you really get pregnant, what are you going to do?"
Ji Qingyue looked Zhao Mu in the eyes seriously and told him a very cruel fact, "Ji Xinyi is not a weak person who can be bullied by others. She has a strong opinion. Even the Ji family may not be able to influence her. Otherwise, this matter would not be hidden from her and deliberately set a trap for her.
And there is almost a 90% chance that she will not keep the child."
"Let's go and see!"
Zhao Mu sighed deeply. The troubles arising from this incident gave him a headache.
He would never have thought that his first child would be born neither from Senior Sister Dazua, nor from a small rich woman, nor even from the wealthy woman Ji Qingyue, but from a strange woman whom he had only met twice and even had a fight with.
What makes him even more headache is that Ji Xinyi is a crazy woman.
Ji Qingyue was right. If she was really pregnant, the probability of the woman keeping the baby would be almost zero.
Moreover, even if he really stayed, Zhao Mu didn't know how to face this child for a while.
He and Ji Xinyi had no feelings for each other at all. In fact, the appearance of this child was a complete mistake, a remnant of those bastards' scheme against the two of them.
Shaking his head, Zhao Mu stopped thinking about these annoying things and turned to Ji Qingyue, "If possible, I want you to find out what the hidden story is behind this matter, or in other words, the specific content of the transaction between the Ji family and Hunyuan Taiqing Palace."
"What do you mean?"
Ji Qingyue was a little puzzled. Could there be something more important behind this than awakening Xian Linglong?
"Don't you think this happened a little hastily?"
Zhao Mu asked back, "Even if the Ji family knew that I could help Ji Xinyi awaken Xian Linglong, there's no need to use such extreme methods right away. They could try a gentler approach first.
Although I don’t understand why, this incident gives me a feeling that the Ji family is in a hurry.
The purpose is to immediately awaken Xian Linglong, and then..."
Ji Qingyue's eyes flickered slightly, and she said in unison with Zhao Mu: "Using Xian Linglong to achieve a certain purpose?"
"Correct."
Zhao Mu nodded. Actually, Ji Xinyi was the first person to be asked about this matter. She was holding the Immortal Linglong, so she must be the executor. But it was obvious that she didn't want to tell him at all. Otherwise, it would not have been just the three words "Three Immortal Mountains".
As the two were chatting, the courtyard door was suddenly pushed open, followed by a dignified and elegant female voice.
"Zhao Mu, Hong Ling, I brought you... uh~"
Xia Ningzhi pushed the door open and walked in, stopping mid-sentence.
Because she saw Zhao Mu sitting in the yard, and on his lap sat a beautiful woman who was hugging his neck. In terms of beauty, she was not inferior to her at all, and even had a faint feeling that she was better than her.
Zhao Mu and Ji Qingyue looked over at the same time upon hearing the voice. They were not panicked by the fact that someone saw them in this posture. Zhao Mu did not care, while Ji Qingyue was simply surprised by the beauty of this woman in exquisite palace dress.
Just at this moment, a cheerful male voice came from outside.
"Zhao Mu, Yan Hongling, Sifang Pavilion, three days later..."
"Hey, Princess Nine, what are you doing standing outside the door? Why don't you go in?"
"Hey hey hey~"
"Why did you close the gate? Why did you chase me away?"
“…”
Just by listening to Wu Zixu's laughter, Zhao Mu could imagine the scene outside. It was nothing more than Xia Ningzhi feeling that she had caught him and Ji Qingyue in the act, so she left the door embarrassedly and drove away Wu Zixu who had just returned.
"Why are you two leaving? Come in!"
Zhao Mu chuckled and waved his hand. The courtyard door that Xia Ningzhi had just closed opened instantly.
Ji Qingyue did not continue to stay on Zhao Mu's lap, but sat on the stone bench next to him.
Xia Ningzhi turned around when she heard the voice, and saw that the woman on Zhao Mu's lap had sat down next to him, then she turned back with a smile on her face.
After seeing Ji Qingyue, Wu Zixu finally realized why the Ninth Princess had just driven him away. It turned out that Zhao Mu was having a secret meeting with a woman in the yard and was caught by her.
Yan Hongling, who had been eavesdropping by sticking to the door panel, heard the noise outside and immediately opened the door and walked out.
The courtyard suddenly became lively again.
"Wu Zixu and Xia Ningzhi, who passed the Heavenly Ladder with me and entered the Hunyuan Taiqing Palace together, are my only two good friends in the sect besides Yan Hongling."
"Ji Qingyue, I'm engaged to her."
Zhao Mu introduced the two parties to each other. As for Yan Hongling, they had already met each other when he was leading Ji Qingyue.
Ji Qingyue?
Hearing these three words, Wu Zixu and Xia Ningzhi looked at Zhao Mu at the same time, their eyes filled with shock.
Although they had never seen her before, they had long heard of the name of Ji Qingyue from the Ji family of Heishui River. She was one of the most talented and eccentric young people in the Ji family, and she was also a proud daughter of heaven who was born with special phenomena.
Did Zhao Mu take down Ji Qingyue without making any noise?
After a round of greetings, Wu Zixu and Xia Ningzhi finally accepted this astonishing information and secretly gave Zhao Mu a thumbs up, as if to say, buddy, you are awesome.
In fact, this matter would shock anyone.
After all, whether it is Yan Qingyue, the number one genius of Hunyuan Taiqing Palace, or Ji Qingyue, who is famous in the Black Water River Basin, they are both proud daughters of heaven standing at the top of this world.
To possess both of these at the same time, let alone achieve it, I’m afraid that 99% of people wouldn’t even dare to dream of it.
It’s not that Wu Zixu and Xia Ningzhi are inexperienced, but that there are very few people in history who can accomplish such a feat.
What's even more incredible is that the little princess of Wudi City seems to be Zhao Mu's Taoist partner.
"Brother Wu, what did you just say about Sifang Pavilion's plans in three days?"
"Oh yes!"
Wu Zixu recovered from his shock and said with a wry smile, "I almost forgot about the important matter. There's a gathering of young talents at Sifang Pavilion in three days, hosted by the Fire God Temple. I have a few invitations here. Let's go take a look."
"What's the point of this party?"
"Drink and discuss, and by the way, recognize some familiar faces and learn who are the people who are here this time."
"more specific."
"Simply put, it's to get to know the young talents participating in the Fire God Festival and prepare for the subsequent qualifying competition."
"What is the quota competition?"
Zhao Mu's understanding of the Fire God Festival was very superficial, and Wu Zixu's words touched upon his blind spots in knowledge.
"Uh~"
Wu Zixu then remembered that Zhao Mu had been away for many years and probably didn't have a detailed understanding of the Fire God Festival, so he began to explain patiently.
