Chapter 953 Old Acquaintance
Upon returning to the capital, Zhao Mu discovered that in just a few days, the city was far more bustling than it had been before he and Da Lv Cha left.
There were noticeably more cultivators coming and going, and the Great Xia Dynasty army patrolling the streets was also significantly more frequent.
Zhao Mu originally intended to go directly back to the palace to find Xia Ningzhi.
But to everyone's surprise, Xia Ruoxi was unhappy and dragged him to her temporary residence, saying that since the martial arts competition hadn't started yet, he should spend more time with her.
Zhao Mu had no choice but to agree.
This is not a very luxurious inn, but I must say that the location chosen by Big Green Tea is really good. It is near a crossroads, and one of the roads is a main street. Almost everyone who arrives in the capital will pass through this place.
It's an excellent vantage point for observing the situation.
The inn isn't top-notch, but it has all the essentials.
Once the shielding array is activated, even if there's a fight going on inside, not a single sound can escape.
For two whole days and two nights, Zhao Mu and Xia Ruoxi didn't leave their room once. They were both inside researching some strange things. With Zhao Mu around, Xia Ruoxi was always happy.
early morning.
Zhao Mu gently moved the big green tea's legs off him, carefully got off the bed, and stretched by the window.
Xia Ruoxi, that enchantress, is really clingy. But she wasn't lying; during the time they were apart, she had indeed learned a lot of ancient scriptures, and many of the moves in them were beyond his imagination.
"Ok?"
Just as he was stretching, a group of people suddenly passed by below. "They look like they're from Martial Emperor City. Could it be that my brothers-in-law also have designs on the Ninth Princess?"
This is not fun at all!
Zhao Mu didn't want to beat up one of his brother-in-laws on the field, so he quickly got dressed, told the green tea girl that he had something to do and was going out for a while, and left after he was right back.
Once outside the inn, he caught up with the Martial Emperor City's troops, who were moving slowly.
However, after catching up, they discovered that while there were familiar faces, they weren't his brothers-in-law, but rather the people who had been with Wu Xuan last time.
Got it!
Zhao Mu immediately realized that he had misjudged the situation.
The people who came were from the lineage of the Grand Elder of Wudi City, and had no relation to the lineage of Wudi.
Since they weren't his brothers-in-law, it felt much more satisfying to throw punches at them.
However, just as he was about to leave, a rather clear and pleasant sound came from behind him.
"Zhao Mu?"
"Is that you, Zhao Mu?"
???
Who?
His voice was quite pleasant, and he must be good-looking too. However, Zhao Mu showed no intention of turning around. It was best to avoid contact with people from the Grand Elder's lineage.
I simply pretended not to hear and left.
Da Da Da~
But the woman seemed very stubborn and actually chased after him.
They were quite fast, and they actually blocked his path.
"It really is you, Zhao Mu! Why are you running?"
Hearing the voice, he looked up and saw a stunningly beautiful face. But Zhao Mu was a little confused because the person standing in front of him was Wu Xuan, the granddaughter of the Great Elder.
"Then what are you chasing?"
"Why would I chase you if you don't run?"
"..."
Something's not right, something's really not right. Didn't Wu Xuan hate him? Why has her attitude changed so drastically now? Could it be because they had a brief collaboration during the Fire God Festival?
That can't be...
"But what brings you to the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty? Could it be that you've taken a fancy to that Ninth Princess? Wait a minute..."
Wu Xuan seemed to have thought of something and suddenly exclaimed, "Oh right, you and Xia Ningzhi seem to be from the same sect and have a rather close relationship. But aren't you afraid that Wu Yao will get jealous if you openly seek out other women like this?"
"You talk too much! I'm leaving now!"
Zhao Mu didn't want to talk to this woman anymore; he didn't understand why Wu Xuan had suddenly become so enthusiastic.
"Hey, hey, don't go! We finally ran into an acquaintance. Let me treat you to dinner, and we can chat."
Wu Xuan refused to let Zhao Mu go and followed him closely.
To others, this scene made him appear as a heartless man who had abandoned his wife and children. Before long, people began to point fingers at him. More importantly, none of the other people from Wudi City followed; only Wu Xuan came.
"No, Grandma, what exactly do you want to do!"
Zhao Mu was speechless. He grabbed Wu Xuan and headed to a restaurant, going straight to a private room on the second floor.
bang~
He closed the door, plopped down on the round stool, and said to Wu Xuan, "Alright, what do you want to talk about? Let's get started!"
Receiving no response for a long time, Zhao Mu subconsciously looked up.
As a result, the other person went completely numb.
Wu Xuan was touching the spot she had just touched, her face flushed, just like a shy little girl.
no......
Can anyone tell me what's going on? What the hell is going on?
Wu Xuan, have you been possessed?
That demon, get out of Wu Xuan's body at once!
She was clearly a temperamental and spoiled young lady, how did she become like this?
"You...you you you."
"What's wrong with me?"
"You just touched my hand."
Wu Xuan looked at Zhao Mu with a pitiful expression, her head lowered, turning her toes, but unfortunately she couldn't see her feet at all. She whispered, "No man has ever touched me before, you are the first."
"Hey, hey, hey, don't tell me you want me to take responsibility!"
Zhao Mu was startled. "I just tugged at you, and you want me to take responsibility? That's too much!"
Besides, you've never held a man's hand? Have you never fought with a man in your entire life?
and many more.....
Zhao Mu suddenly realized that this woman seemed to be a ranged mage, and it was very likely that she had never encountered an opponent before.
Did you not check the almanac before going out today?
How could I possibly encounter something so outrageous?
"Not at all, just a sentimental remark."
Wu Xuan seemed to have composed herself, walked over and sat down next to Zhao Mu, and murmured to herself, "But is this what it feels like to be touched by a man? I'm not too averse to it."
"..."
Is this woman trying to seduce me?
"If you don't keep following me, why would I drag you?"
Zhao Mu said speechlessly, "Didn't you see the way those passersby on the street were looking at me? I'm almost considered a piece of trash who started something and then abandoned it. If I don't drag you into this, you'll ruin my reputation."
"And another thing, Wu Xuan, can't you be normal for once?"
"Where did your arrogance towards Wu Shu go?"
"Now you're acting like a wronged little wife, I really can't get used to it!"
He had goosebumps all over his body, feeling that the woman had some ulterior motive.
Naïve and innocent?
What a joke! If Wu Xuan is naive and innocent, then he's a complete idiot.
After all, this woman had been fighting with Wu Yao since childhood.
Although the young rich woman was obedient and docile in front of him, he had a rough idea of what kind of person she really was. She was definitely a formidable figure, after all, Wu Rong and the others were genuinely afraid of her.
Can Wu Xuan be simple?
