Older Cousin

Mo Yuanjiao glanced at it, intending to ignore it for now and continue spending time with his grandmother and mother.

Unexpectedly, Old Madam Mo also saw Baojian and said to Mo Yuanjiao with a kind expression:

"Go and deal with it quickly. Our Yuanjiao; he has many important things to do. We can't let this old man delay important matters."

Instead of leaving as instructed, Mo Yuanjiao plopped down next to Old Madam Mo.

"What could be more important than Grandma! You're finally feeling a bit better today and able to come out for a while, so of course I have to keep you company."

After Mo Yuanjiao stayed with Old Madam Mo for another half an hour, seeing that she looked a little tired, he and his mother escorted her back to her room.

After leaving Old Madam Mo's courtyard, Mo's mother said to Mo Yuanjiao:

"Alright, I'll stay with your grandmother. Go ahead and do what you need to do."

Mo Yuanjiao didn't stand on ceremony with his mother, saying, "You should take good care of yourself too!" before running off in a flash.

Watching his retreating figure, Mo's mother felt both annoyed and amused.

Upon returning to his courtyard, Mo Yuanjiao saw Baojian already waiting for him at the gate.

Upon seeing him return, she immediately went to greet him, quietly following beside him as they walked into the house, reporting in a low voice:

"Today, everyone from the Shangyang Sect garrison left the city, seemingly to look at land. They visited several hills. Because you warned us, young master, that the other party might have profound cultivation, our people didn't dare to follow them too closely, so we don't know the specifics."

As early as the second day after Mo Yuanjiao returned, Baojian had already investigated and found out the identity of the fortune teller.

As Mo Yuanjiao had expected, it was indeed an elder of the Shangyang Sect named Song Jusheng.

Later, Mo Yuanjiao went to his father to inquire about the situation.

General Mo originally did not intend to tell him.

But when she heard that Mo Yuanjiao had analyzed the situation from this clue and was almost entirely accurate, she felt that her son might really have grown up.

So I started sharing with him things about these cultivation sects in the imperial court.

Therefore, it became much easier for Mo Yuanjiao to use his family's resources to investigate the matter.

After all, they had been dealing with cultivation sects for many years, so the people they trained were very investigative. Moreover, Mo Yuanjiao and his group didn't expect to find out too much or too deep; they just wanted to get a general idea of what was going on.

Therefore, even for Golden Core cultivators, it is not easy to discover their experienced spies if they are not paying close attention.

Upon hearing this, Mo Yuanjiao nodded to indicate that he understood, and then asked:

"What about the other two sects? Have they made any moves?"

Baojian, he replied:

"Both the Cloud and Mist Sect and the Clear River Sect have sent people to visit the Shangyang Sect in the past two days, but for some reason, the Shangyang Sect has not received them."

Once inside, Mo Yuanjiao sat down at the table and began to ponder.

His father had previously told him about the Shangyang Sect and the fact that the elders of the Shangyang Sect wanted to rebuild the sect.

Based on his father's analysis of the situation between the royal family and the three major sects, as well as the emperor's decision to win over their Lingxian Sect, he could be certain that the court probably had no intention of setting a trap for them.

So he immediately took out Location Sound Transmission Talisman infused with Liu Yunan's Spiritual Power and sent back the information he had recently obtained.

To be honest, the matter concerning the Lingxian Sect was supposedly a decision made by the emperor and the entire court.

In reality, not many people know about this.

After the document from the magistrate of Anqun County was sent to the Grand Secretariat, it happened to be seen by the Grand Lord Yang.

Therefore, this official document did not go through the normal process of approval at each level, but was presented directly to the emperor by Lord Yang as a confidential letter.

Later, the emperor summoned several important ministers to discuss the matter in detail in private.

It was not brought to the imperial court.

Therefore, nowadays, the only people who know of the existence of the Lingxian Sect, besides those in the counties near Xiushui Village, are General Mo's family.

Mo Yuanjiao finally decided that he would self-destruct.

Having made up his mind, he immediately got up and walked towards his father's study.

He wants to go to the palace to meet the emperor!

There wasn't any other reason.

He was actually quite familiar with the emperor.

When he was a child, he even peed on the emperor's python robe when he was still the crown prince.

Of course, he had no memory of this; it was his grandmother who told him.

There wasn't any particular reason; it was just that his mother and the emperor's mother, the current Empress Dowager, were close friends.

Honey.

Therefore, according to seniority, His Mo Yuanjiao as his cousin.

that's all.

After Mo Yuanjiao entered the palace, he was led to the Hall of Mental Cultivation by a palace attendant.

He met his cousin, whom he almost only saw at the annual banquet every year.

There was no way around it; his cousin, the emperor, was an extremely busy man.

And he has a lot of siblings.

Although his cousin had peed on him before, they weren't actually that close.

After all, Mo Yuanjiao playful and disliked being restrained.

Therefore, he used to avoid going to the palace whenever possible.

But now, for the sake of his sect, he actually stepped into the imperial palace, a place where he always felt uncomfortable whenever he entered.

Upon seeing Mo Yuanjiao enter, Li Zhouxuan raised an eyebrow in surprise:

"You rascal, didn't you hate going to the palace? You never come when I call you, so why did you suddenly come looking for me today?"

Upon hearing this, Mo Yuanjiao gave him a slightly embarrassed but polite smile:

"Your Majesty, it's been a long time!"

Li Zhouxuan nodded without suspicion and said:

"It's been a long time. I haven't seen you since the Spring Banquet. I did hear that you tested positive for Spirit Root but didn't join one of the three major sects. You went out to clear your head. Are you back now?"

Looking at his cousin, the Emperor, standing at the head of the table, and feeling extremely uncomfortable standing alone below, Mo Yuanjiao decided to get straight to the point and said:

"Your Majesty, cousin, I've come to confess. I'm not going to relax; I'm going to seek my fortuitous opportunity. And quite coincidentally, the sect you've been pondering lately is my fortuitous opportunity."

Li Zhouxuan, who was casually flipping through the memorials beside him, paused, then looked up at him:

"What did you say?"

Seeing that his imperial cousin was so clueless, Mo Yuanjiao had no choice but to patiently repeat himself:

"I've gone to cultivate immortality, and the sect I've joined is the Lingxian Sect, the one you've been trying to win over lately!"

"So if you have anything to say, you can just tell me. I can help you reply to my sect. You can also ask me any questions you have. Isn't that much faster than you figuring it out yourselves?"

Upon hearing this, Li Zhouxuan was extremely shocked.
