The Rebirth of the Stormy Prosperity Strategy

Chapter 128 Return to Qingyuan Gate

"Sure, sister becomes sister-in-law, you are taking advantage of me."

Mu Qingxue lowered her head and smiled, with a slight blush on her face.

"When did you and senior brother start dating?" Mo Xiaolan asked.

She turned her head slightly and said, "After you die."

"..."

Fifty-two years ago—

In the Qingling Water Pavilion, Mu Qingxue sat in the gazebo and looked at the sky in the distance which was about to rain. The tea in front of her had already turned cold, but the person tasting it did not seem to move, letting the warmth be carried away by the wind.

jingle--

The bell on the wooden door rang softly, and Mu Qingfeng walked in from outside. When Mu Qingxue found him, he had already placed a bag of candied fruit on the table.

"How's the matter?" Mu Qingxue asked.

He shook his head: "The seal of the demon world is too strong. The headmaster and I worked together to break a gap. There are so many masters inside that we can't reach the central imperial city where Mo Chu is."

"Then I'll go." Mu Qingxue said, "Xiao Lan and I are sisters, and I don't have any grudges with Mo Chu. If I go, maybe he will meet me."

"He didn't even see Miss Zhu Ling."

In one sentence, she was thrown into the abyss. In the current Qingyuan Sect, perhaps only Zhu Ling could have the chance to see Mo Chu. After all, she was his sister who grew up with him and loved him. But he didn't even want to see Zhu Ling. Who else in the huge Qingyuan Sect could succeed?

"If I had held her back then..."

"No!" Mu Qingfeng held her hand. "Although I don't know when it happened, according to Zhu Fan, Mo Chu hid his identity and plotted something bad. He even led Xiao Lan to the demon world and persecuted her cruelly. It's a pity that Xiao Lan was too deeply bewitched by him. In the end..."

He lowered his head: "However, there are many doubts in this matter, and we cannot make a conclusion based on one side. I will just have to wait until I meet Mo Chu and hear what he has to say. I really don't want to believe that the disciple I have watched grow up would do such a thing to betray my teacher and ancestors."

How could he not make...

Mu Qingxue turned her head away: "I already knew what he was doing, but I still let Xiaolan die. If I could have taken her with me, I wouldn't have ended up like this."

Now thinking about Mo Xiaolan's last words, she actually felt a little ironic. Speaking of Lan Yatou, she was still not as cruel as the original Mo Xiaolan, otherwise she would not have lost her life and her heart.

The originally gloomy weather finally darkened, and big raindrops fell. Mu Qingxue stood up suddenly: "Oh no, why is it raining suddenly?"

Fortunately, the rain didn't last long and stopped after a while. After the rain, it seemed even colder. She couldn't help but sneeze. Mu Qingfeng behind her put his coat on her and said, "It's getting late. Let's go back."

"Ah."

The master and the disciple were walking down the mountain. The road was slippery after the rain. Mu Qingxue accidentally stepped on empty air and fell down. Mu Qingfeng beside her hurriedly grabbed her and was also dragged down by her. The two of them kept rolling down and stopped only when they reached the flat ground.

"Master, are you okay?" Mu Qingxue immediately climbed up from him, and Mu Qingfeng was able to sit up, but a large layer of skin was scraped off his right wrist.

"No, we have to find Ruoruo quickly..." Mu Qingxue shut up. Hua Ruoruo had already betrayed Qingyuan Sect.

"It's okay. You are still here." Mu Qingxue patted her head and said, "Don't be afraid. Everything will be fine."

A few months passed and before we knew it, the Mid-Autumn Festival arrived. However, due to the unfinished trivial matters in the sect, this year's Mid-Autumn Festival was particularly deserted.

"Master, are you still unwilling to come out?" Mu Qingxue came to the Qingyuan Warm Pavilion carrying some mooncakes, and happened to meet Mu Qingfeng coming out. He looked strange, and there was a vague feeling of helplessness and loss.

"Yeah." He turned around and saw the plate of yellow-brown mooncakes and sighed, "It's better not to send it. Mid-Autumn Festival is a day for reunion, but it's a bit ironic now."

"I just thought mooncakes were a standard part of the Mid-Autumn Festival, but I forgot this."

"Forget it." Mu Qingfeng took her hand and said, "Some demons like to take advantage of festivals to cause trouble. Look, the disciples down the mountain sent a letter asking for help. I have asked the master to go there in person. As a disciple, I still have to serve the master, right?"

Mu Qingxue nodded, and finally showed a long-lost smile on her face. Suddenly she remembered that in the same place a long time ago, Mo Xiaolan puffed up her cheeks and complained to her. She had to work overtime on holidays, and she really wanted to quit.

The monster the disciple encountered was not an ordinary monster. It was extremely powerful. Mu Qingfeng had to spend a lot of effort to subdue it. But he didn't expect that there were two monsters. When the other one saw its companion fall down, it took advantage of its short body and attacked Mu Qingfeng when he was not paying attention. Fortunately, Mu Qingxue appeared in time and captured it with her bare hands, but was also poisoned by the monster.

The evil poison entered the heart along with the blood. Mu Qingfeng was so concerned that he sucked out the poison with his mouth, which resulted in both of them being poisoned and falling into a coma.

However, according to the disciples, they didn't know what to do at the time. The place was a desolate and chaotic one, with no village in front and no shop behind. If they forced the two men to the next town, they would probably be beaten to death and might not even be able to get treatment. How could a mortal doctor cure the poison?

Just when everyone was at a loss, a female doctor came. She looked young, but she was a miraculous doctor who could bring people back to health.

It was not until later that Mu Qingxue learned that the place was one of the three major realms where the demons went to the human world. The person who came had a delicate face and liked to wear goose yellow dresses. There was a faint herbal fragrance on her body. It must be Hua Ruoruo.

After the two woke up, Mu Qingxue complained that this man's brain was getting dumber as he got older. How could he be sucked out of this state? Isn't this a typical way of giving away one's life?

Mu Qingfeng retorted: "So what? You are my disciple and the person I like..."

Both of them blushed immediately...

"Master, you..." Mu Qingxue opened her eyes wide: "Do you like me?"

"I..." Mu Qingfeng turned his head away, his whole body stiff.

"But we are master and apprentice."

"I didn't tell you because I knew you would think so." He muttered quietly. Although he whispered quietly, Mu Qingxue, who had sharp ears, still heard it. She tilted her head and asked, "Always?"

Seeing this, Mu Qingfeng turned his head and said, "Well, it's been a long time. Anyway, you don't accept it, so what does it matter how long it takes?"

It can be seen that if he hadn't let the secret slip in a moment of impatience, this person would have been able to hide it for a lifetime.

"Pfft..." Mu Qingxue couldn't help laughing. What a silly master she had.

"Master, you are so stupid. How can I accept it if you don't tell me?"

Mu Qingfeng turned around suddenly and grabbed her hand. In an instant, both of them lowered their heads with red faces.

After retaking the Baili Imperial City, the two got married. However, Mu Qingxue was not good at governing the country, so she abdicated after the marriage and gave the throne to Mu Qingfeng. Although the emperor changed his surname, the country did not, and it was still named Baili. The prince he would give birth to in the future would also have Baili as his surname.

-

"Having said that, but after being married for so long, I..." Mu Qingxue touched her belly and it was still flat, without any changes.

"This kind of thing still depends on opportunity." Mo Xiaolan took her hand and said, "I couldn't even be your bridesmaid. After the child is born, you must recognize me as your godmother."

"That's natural, but..." Mu Qingxue whispered, "I heard from Mingfan that you lost some of your memory. Do you still remember how you died?"

Mo Xiaolan shook her head: "I don't remember, I only remember what happened after the ghost bridegroom."

"You died to block the sword for Mo Chu."

Hearing Mu Qingxue's words, she opened her eyes wide: "How, how, how is it possible? Didn't I die because of Ruo Xiangsi? It's clearly in the original book..."

"It's true." Mu Qingxue hurriedly tightened her hand: "At that time, Ruo Xiangsi had been dead for some time, and I didn't know much. After I found my master and returned to Qingyuan Sect, I saw you with only a trace of breath left, as if you would die at any time. According to Ruoruo, your injury was caused by the demons. At that time, Zhu Fan seemed to have seen the Demon Lord Mo Luofan, and was frightened to insanity. The leader and the masters of other sects worked together to destroy the Demon Lord. At the critical moment, you rushed out and blocked a sword for him. Then Mo Chu took your body back to the Demon Realm. No one has seen you since then. At the beginning of every month, Zhu Fan kneels in the Demon Realm to atone for his sins, and also wants to take your body back for burial."

"I have now also infiltrated the demon world under an assumed name to retrieve my body."

"What! It's too dangerous." Mu Qingxue was a little worried.

"It's okay. I've been with Mo Luofan for a long time, and he didn't recognize me."

"But……"

"No buts. This body can't hold out for much longer. I must try my best."

"If you need it, the entire Baili Imperial City will be your backup."

"And Qingyuan Sect." Mu Qingfeng and Mingfan had walked in at some point. He said apologetically, "Sorry to bother you guys reminiscing about the past. This matter involves a lot of things. It would be better to go back to Qingyuan Sect and discuss it with the Sect Master."

Qingyuan Gate——

As soon as she stepped into Qingyuan Gate, Mo Xiaolan had a strange yet familiar feeling. The mountain gate had changed a lot from before. The bamboo forest in the mountains was more dense, and the steps had been renovated and were smoother. They were no longer the green stone steps that could easily slide down if you were not careful.

The four of them came to the Qingyuan Warm Pavilion together. There was not a single disciple guarding the place. It seemed a bit desolate and helpless. It was no longer the bustling mountain top it once was.

Mu Qingfeng led them to the cabinet and gently pushed open the wooden door. Opposite the door was a plaque with the words "Shang Zimo's Wife" written on it. There was no signature, only a short title.

Mo Xiaolan stepped into the room. The man kneeling on the mat in front of her seemed to be much older than before. The man who was as kind as a father was now thin and weak.

Since waking up, Mo Xiaolan didn't feel how fast time passed. It was as if she had just had a good sleep. After waking up, the people around her were still the same as before. It was not until she saw the only person of the same blood as her in the world that she felt that a very long time had passed.

Hearing someone coming, Shang Jun coughed twice: "Qingfeng, you are here."

"elder brother……"

The hand that was originally turning the Buddhist beads suddenly stopped. He slowly turned his head, his body a little unstable. Mo Xiaolan immediately supported him.

"Xiao Lan..." Shang Jun reached out and touched her face, then immediately pulled his hand back: "Xiao Lan, it's really you. I'm sorry for you. I'm not good."

Tears suddenly flowed from the man's eyes, and he held her hand and said sorry over and over again.
