Red Luan Royal Territory, as the wedding day of Red Luan Princess approaches, the festive atmosphere in the King's Realm becomes more and more intense, with lights and colorful decorations everywhere and red silk hanging high.

Outside the King's Realm, in the adjacent big city, Ning Chen was walking with Yin'er. The rainy weather was incompatible with the festive atmosphere of the entire Hongluan Zhucheng.

Moonlit Wine House, private room on the second floor, the owner prepares wine and waits for distinguished guests to arrive.

On the first floor, singing and dancing flourished, the dancers danced on the high platform, and the skin was looming under the tulle, making it difficult for the guests to take their eyes away.

Not long after, Ning Chen and the former Yin'er entered. Hongluan personally stepped forward to greet them and led the two of them directly towards the second floor.

"Sister Hongluan, is the injury on your face healed?" Yin'er looked at the former and said softly.

"Okay"

Hongluan took off the veil on his face, and a beautiful face that could be broken appeared in front of them. It was flawless and even more beautiful than Xizi.

"Hongluan sister is so beautiful," Yin'er said with envy in her big eyes.

Hongluan put on the veil, smiled gently, and said, "Yin'er is also very beautiful. When she grows up, she will be even more beautiful than her sister."

Yin'er smiled happily when he heard this and nodded carelessly.

While talking, the three of them entered the clear room. Moonlit Tower Master, who had taken off his gorgeous clothes, put on a plain silver-grey robe. His powerful aura was completely different from the first time they met.

"Master, here comes the guest," Hongluan said with a respectful salute.

"Well, step aside first, and take our little girl Yin'er to taste Hongluan's special dishes," Mo Shao'ai said with a smile.

"Yes"

Hongluan saluted again and accepted the order.

Ning Chen also patted the little girl's head, indicating that she and Hongluan should go down together first.

Yin'er followed me out obediently. When he was about to leave the room, he turned around and said softly, "Master, don't take my previous words to heart. You are not a black-hearted businessman."

"Heh"

Mo Shao'ai chuckled and said, "Yin'er, the little girl is right, I am a black-hearted businessman, otherwise I would be called a businessman without treachery."

Hongluan covered his mouth and smiled, holding the little girl and leaving. Over the years, only Yin'er dared to say that the poster was a black-hearted businessman in front of him.

"Please take a seat." The two left, Mo Shao'ai looked at the person in front of him and said softly.

"Thank you"

Ning Chen was not too polite and sat down opposite.

"How about it? The layout of my restaurant is pretty good."

Mo Shao'ai took out the Heartless Ephemeral Dream that had been prepared in advance, poured two cups, pushed one cup to the person in front of him, and said.

"Moonlit Tower Master's taste is naturally beyond the reach of ordinary people." Ning Chen took the wine glass and responded.

"Where's the wine?" Mo Shao'ai asked again.

"Heartless Ephemeral Dream, naturally it is also a fine wine," Ning Chen said after smelling and tasting it.

"Brother Ning You know, I've always been stingy, so it's hard for me to invite someone to drink." Mo Shao'ai chuckled.

"Businessmen are looking for profit. The wine in a restaurant is meant for selling, not for entertaining people," Ning Chen said calmly.

"Oh, it is really easy to talk to smart people. With Brother Ning's wisdom, you should have guessed the reason why I invited you here," Mo Shao'ai continued.

"Guess a few, not much" Ning Chen said softly.

"It took me a lot of effort to rescue Hongluan. It reminded me of the grudges from a hundred years ago. Letting go is not an easy task." Mo Shao'ai took a sip of wine and said with a smile.

"The host is from Red Luan Royal Territory" Ning Chen put down his wine glass and asked.

"Yes, when did you notice it?" Mo Shao'ai said without being too surprised.

"Judging from Red Luan Realm King's attitude towards the original poster, the original poster is definitely not a person welcomed by Red Luan Royal Territory. However, the fact that the original poster can enter the king's realm so smoothly only shows that the original poster is very familiar with Red Luan Royal Territory. In addition,"

At this point, Ning Chen paused for a moment, looked at the former, and continued, "Judging from the conversation between the poster and Consort Yao Ji yesterday, it was obvious that they were old acquaintances. One of the sentences mentioned the three words "ancestor". I think outsiders would not call them that."

Hearing this, Mo Shao'ai smiled softly and said, "You can deduce the general truth just from these details that ordinary people will not notice. Brother Ning's intelligence is really admirable."

"Excessive reputation"

Ning Chen said calmly, "The original poster's secretiveness is really surprising. With the original poster's strength, I think even in the whole Hongluan Star Domain, there will be few opponents."

"Heh"

Mo Shao'ai smiled, filled the former's wine glass again, and said, "The star field is vast, Great Life Star is numerous. Who knows where there will be hidden unparalleled powerhouses beyond our knowledge. In the end, we are all just sitting in the well and looking at the sky. As much as we see, we think how big the sky is, and the real sky may be much wider than what we see."

Ning Chen was silent. After a moment, he softly said, "Be taught."

Mo Shao'ai filled his glass and continued, "To be honest Brother Ning, I used to be Red Luan Royal Territory's person, and Red Luan Realm King and Consort Yao Ji have indeed known each other for a long time. As for the relationship, Red Luan Realm King and I are actually the current Hongluan and Red Luan Princess."

"Master and Shadow" Ning Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and said calmly.

Mo Shao'ai took a sip of wine. This incredible young man has such intelligence. It is really terrifying.

After a moment, Mo Shao'ai put down his wine glass and said, "Brother Ning's guess is good. Since ancient times, Red Luan Royal Territory has two successors in each generation, one master and one shadow. The master stands in front of the person, and the shadow stands in front of him. After a human being, if nothing happens, the master will eventually swallow the shadow and become the master of Hongluan. Only when something unexpected happens to the main body, the shadow will have the opportunity to come to the front of the human being and assume the responsibility of the successor, and Hongluan is the shadow of this generation."

"What a cruel rule"

Ning Chen responded and asked, "Where is the original poster? Is it the main body or the shadow?"

"Brother Ning thinks so" Mo Shao'ai said with a smile.

"Subject" Ning Chen responded without hesitation.

"Oh?"

Mo Shao'ai looked surprised and said, "Brother Ning Why are you so sure?"

"Measurement"

Ning Chen said calmly, "No matter how much the shadow looks like the main body, it is still different after all. I think that in the endless years passed down by Red Luan Royal Territory, I can count the number of examples where the shadow can successfully replace the main body. The growth path is different, and the impact on a person is far beyond imagination. The difference between the size of the main body standing in front of people and the shadow standing behind people will only get bigger and bigger."

At this point, Ning Chen glanced at the two people on the first floor through the bead curtain and said, "It's not disrespectful to Miss Hongluan. Let's not talk about personal grudges. Miss Hongluan has nothing to do with that person. The gap between Red Luan Princess is indeed not even a star. This is not just martial arts cultivation, but also many other considerations. It can be said that in front of that princess, girl Hongluan has no chance of winning."

Mo Shao'ai sipped the wine in the glass and said calmly, "Hongluan is really not suitable to be the master of Hongluan."

"Hongluan girl is not suitable, but the original poster is different."

Ning Chen looked at the person in front of him and said, "Red Luan Realm King walked from the shadows to the front of the person. Even though he has gradually gained the strength and majesty of a king, he still lacks a certain magnanimity compared to the original poster. I think it will be difficult to make up for this gap in this life."

Mo Shao'ai smiled, did not make any further comments, changed the topic, and said, "I won't talk about this anymore. By the way, there is one thing that I have always been interested in. I just don't know whether I should ask."

"It doesn't matter what the original poster said," Ning Chen responded.

Mo Shao'ai picked up the wine glass and toasted to the former, "In this poster's understanding, demons are a symbol of killing. Demons who can work hard to restrain their nature like Brother Ning have never seen before. Can I ask, why?"

"The poster's understanding is not wrong. I am no different from other demons. Where the poster doesn't know, I may have caused more killings than anyone else. However, I have something that must be done, so I have to act according to the rules set by humans."

The wine glasses collided, Ning Chen drank the wine in one gulp, and said indifferently.

"Find a way to bring the dead back to life?" Mo Shao'ai also drank the wine in one gulp and said slowly.

"Yeah" Ning Chen responded.

"I can't help you with this matter. Although this poster likes to do business with people of similar temperament, I don't have the bargaining chip," Mo Shao'ai said with regret.

"Don't worry, I have been searching for more than twenty years, and maybe I will search for another twenty, forty, or even a hundred years. Maybe one day, the poster will be able to get this bargaining chip. At that time, whether I am a human or a demon, the poster can exchange the chips for everything I have." Ning Chen said unhurriedly.

"Even if it means your life?" Mo Shao'ai raised his head and said calmly.

"Yes"

Ning Chen nodded.

"This kind of business is really tempting. If this day comes, I don't want your life, but your sword, Peerless Under Heaven's sword." At the end of the sentence, Mo Shao'ai said in an unprecedented serious tone.

"If this day comes, I will offer it with both hands," Ning Chen said calmly.

Hearing this, Mo Shao'ai smiled and regained his composure. He filled up the wine glasses in front of the two of them again and said, "Back to business, I invite Brother Ning to come here. Actually, I want to discuss another business."

"Sir, please say something," Ning Chen responded.

"The grudge between this poster and Red Luan Royal Territory has gone on for too long, and there is no need to mention it again. However, that girl Hongluan has worked hard at Moonlit Wine House all these years. She has worked hard without any credit. I think she still needs to get justice for the fact that she was hunted down by Red Luan Royal Territory." Mo Shao'ai said with a smile.

"Why didn't the original poster take action himself?" Ning Chen asked.

"Because I can't"

Mo Shao'ai said honestly, "Red Luan Royal Territory The water is much deeper than it looks. If I take action, it will be too troublesome if those old monsters are involved."

"With your strength, do you still worry about this?" Ning Chen frowned.

"Two fists are always difficult to defeat with four hands. Although I am not afraid of such trouble, I don't want to provoke it easily." Mo Shao'ai said calmly.

"What can I get?" Ning Chen picked up the wine glass and said.

"Opportunity"

Mo Shao'ai responded lightly, "When Brother Ning appeared in Golden Radiance City, he didn't know much about Hongluan Star Domain, let alone had any grudges with Red Luan Princess. The reason why he took action last night, it should be because of that Prince Consort of Red Luan Royal Territory, this poster can give you a chance to fight for a fair settlement. Without Red Luan Royal Territory's intervention, there must be many fewer obstacles for Brother Ning."

Ning Chen heard it and fell silent, without words.

Mo Shao'ai looked at the former and continued, "You need a chance, and this poster also wants to seek justice for Hongluan. I think this kind of cooperation is also the purpose of Brother Ning coming here today. As for whether this slap can be painful enough, it depends on Brother Ning's strength."...
