Chapter 961 Rejected
"so....."
Zhao Mu looked at Xia Ruoxi with some surprise, "You've pinned all your hopes on me? You're going all in?"
"Senior Brother Zhao never disappoints me, does he?"
Xia Ruoxi smiled slightly.
"Junior sister, you're putting a lot of pressure on me!"
Zhao Mu was both amused and exasperated, but he had to admit that he thoroughly enjoyed this unconditional, even almost mindless, trust.
"Don't worry, even just because you've been serving me so diligently, I'll do everything I can to get you those three drops of golden dragon marrow."
"What about Wu Xuan?"
"Is she more important than you?"
"Senior Brother Zhao~"
"You...stop, we're eating, we'll talk later."
"Hey~"
......
Meanwhile, the four from Wuling were walking back to the inn.
"Good heavens, Wu Xuan really is having an affair with this Zhao Mu!"
"Now her struggle with Wu Yao is likely to become even fiercer."
"That guy surnamed Zhao got off easy. He already has Wu Yao, yet he still tries to provoke Xiao Xuan."
"It's hard to say who provoked whom. Brother Zhao is a good person and worth getting to know better. As for the matter of men and women, let the three of them worry about it themselves."
"Wu Ling, if this gets to the Grand Elder's ears, what do you think...?"
"What? Do you think the Grand Elder Council is so low as to directly cause trouble for Brother Zhao?"
"No, I'm worried that the Grand Elder and the Martial Emperor will fight."
"Uh......"
Everyone was stunned. Was this even possible?
It seems there really is.
The Grand Elder and Emperor Wu have always been at odds, and neither of them seems to have a good temper.
On the contrary, there's no need to worry if they come to cause trouble for Zhao Mu.
After all, the example of Ji Yiyuan from the Ji family is still fresh in everyone's mind.
Did they ask the number one female demon of the Asura Ink Sea before they attacked Zhao Mu, who bullied the weak?
"However, on the other hand, Zhao Mu is entangled with the demonic path. Is it really okay for Xiao Xuan to be with him? After all, our Martial Emperor City is on the front line against the demonic path."
"You're so stupid. Wu Yao is Emperor Wu's own daughter. Has Emperor Wu said anything about her being with Zhao Mu?"
"Don't be so narrow-minded. The so-called struggle between good and evil is nothing more than a struggle for the Dao and for interests. You've all cultivated to the Four Extremes Realm, and you still can't see through it?"
"That's true, but after all, we have different statuses."
"What do you mean by different identities? Is Zhao Mu a demonic cultivator? He's skilled in lightning magic, he looks more like a righteous cultivator than you do. You idiot, what are you muttering about!"
"Uh~"
Upon hearing this, the group was left speechless, unsure whether to laugh or cry.
Yes.
Forgot about that, Zhao Mu is a lightning cultivator.
With his exceptional ability to ward off evil and suppress demons, it's no wonder that people in the demonic path would welcome him.
Back at the inn.
Wu Ling immediately contacted Wu Xuan.
"You mean Zhao Mu agreed to help?"
While somewhat surprised, Wu Xuan muttered to herself, "What does this bastard mean? I begged him, and he only cared about bullying me, but he immediately agrees to anything someone else asks him for help? Does he think I'm easy to bully?"
"Oh, by the way, he also asked me to pass on a message to you."
"What?"
"He said the previous conditions remain unchanged, and if we've made up our minds, we should go directly to him."
"He really said that?"
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
Wu Ling looked at her with some doubt and asked with a strange expression, "Did you and Brother Zhao have a fight? As someone who's been through this, let me give you some advice: women are made of water, so be gentle, especially when it comes to the men you love."
“You need to be gentle, not too forceful. If that doesn’t work, just squeeze out a couple of tears. It works really well. I can’t stand your sister-in-law’s teary-eyed look.”
“Xiao Xuan..…”
"Get out!"
"Hey...hey, don't push me, this is all based on experience."
"Get out!"
bang~
After pushing Wu Ling out the door, Wu Xuan leaned against the door, her face full of shame and indignation, and muttered, "That shameless lecher! I thought he had a change of heart and was going to help, but he's still so shameless."
"Humph~"
"He wants my body to be exchanged for Golden Dragon Marrow? He's dreaming!"
"However, if I can't get the Golden Dragon Marrow, then I..."
"Have it!"
Suddenly, Wu Xuan's beautiful eyes lit up as she thought of a brilliant idea. Her eyes narrowed slightly, gleaming with a shrewdness like a fox's, and she snorted, "You bastard, you're lusting after my body, aren't you? Then don't blame me for resorting to dirty tricks!"
After making some preparations, she left the inn and was seen by Wu Ling, who was leaning against the window.
He smiled with satisfaction and murmured, "You're a promising young man. The most effective way to deal with men is to be charming. You were too forceful. It's no wonder Brother Zhao couldn't coax you."
......
After eating and drinking to one's heart's content.
Zhao Mu was forcibly dragged back to his inn room by the scheming woman.
However, just as Zhao Mu finished sending the message to the little rich woman and the two were preparing for their battle, a light knock sounded at the door, followed by Wu Xuan's slightly trembling voice.
"Zhao... Zhao Mu, you're in the room, right? I need to talk to you about something."
"Open the door!"
???
A question mark immediately appeared on Zhao Mu's head. What was going on? Logically speaking, shouldn't Wu Xuan be avoiding him even more now? Why was she taking the initiative to come to him?
no.....
How exactly did Wu Ling and his group relay the message?
He strongly suspects that the problem lies with the middleman, who might be smuggling in their own agenda.
After all, judging from the reactions of Wu Ling and the others, they didn't seem to object to his entanglement with Wu Xuan.
"Damn it, I made a crucial mistake!"
"Cuckoo~"
"Still laughing? I'll teach you a lesson."
"Yeah~"
Xia Ruoxi exclaimed in surprise, reminding him, "Senior Brother Zhao, aren't you going to do anything about her?"
"Forget about her, let her cool off first. Teaching you a lesson is the most important thing."
"Oh~"
Xia Ruoxi revealed a meaningful smile, raising her eyebrows slightly as she said, "Wu Xuan is outside the door. So Senior Brother Zhao likes this kind of thing. Should I open the formation and let..."
Aren't you afraid of our relationship being exposed?
"It's just a change of tone, what's so difficult about it? It's impossible for them to detect it."
"I think you're just looking for a thrill!"
"Senior Brother Zhao, do we still need to distinguish between you and me? Hehehe~"
"You're asking for it!"
Zhao Mu leaped into the air, and a fierce battle erupted between the two sides, leaving the room in chaos.
However, due to the barrier of the formation, Wu Xuan had no idea what was happening inside. She just stomped her foot angrily, "This bastard, is he playing hard to get with me? Or is he trying to test my temper?"
"Good good!"
"Since you want to play, then I'll play along with you."
After muttering a few words, Wu Xuan waited in place, occasionally knocking on the door, purely to entertain the two people inside.
I don't know how many hours have passed.
The battle ended with Xia Ruoxi's defeat.
Zhao Mu lay there like an old man, and said with a faint smile, "It's clearly a matter between two people, but why do I feel that you're even more excited with Wu Xuan cheering you on from the outside?"
"嘁~"
Xia Ruoxi pouted and said, "Isn't Senior Brother Zhao the same?"
"Haha~"
