Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 2588 The Truth

In the man's roar, Ji Mo, who seemed indifferent and didn't care about anything, was completely shattered.

The falling bamboo leaves blocked his face.

Ying Baoyue knew that he didn't want others to see him being hysterical.

At this moment in this world that belongs only to him, the pressure from the Imperial Master and the arrogance of Donghuang Taiyi were completely put down.

The person in front of her at this moment was not the leader of the cultivation world, not the national teacher of Nanchu, not the patriarch of the Ji family, nor the father of three children.

Among the drifting bamboo leaves, Ying Baoyue saw the fifteen-year-old boy who was confused, furious and powerless more than twenty years ago.

"Zheng!"

A sharp sound.

The tip of the King of Yue's sword stopped in front of Ying Baoyue's chest.

The blade of the Red Lotus Sword was pressed against Ying Baoyue's heart, narrowly blocking the tip of the sword that was about to pierce in.

But Ying Baoyue was still injured by the sword energy. She took a step back suddenly, with blood oozing from the corners of her mouth.

At this moment, the distance between her and Ji Mo was only a sword's length away, and she clearly saw the pair of unwilling bloodshot eyes behind the bamboo leaves.

why her?

"I asked this question as well," Ying Baoyue said softly, "but Master couldn't answer it either."

In Lin Shubai's words, he just met her and could never leave her behind.

"do you know?"

Ji Mo's eyes were bloodshot, "I once suspected that you were the bastard born from her and another man."

Ying Baoyue was not angered. "And then?"

"Then?" Ji Mo laughed bitterly, "Unfortunately, even this is not possible."

Before Lin Shubai picked up Ying Baoyue, he had always been inseparable from him and had no time to get pregnant.

The so-called "bastard" was just an excuse he made for himself when he was young and puzzled.

"So what if they are my biological children?"

Ji Mo's eyes were icy cold, "Is she so good to her own child?"

"No matter how much others blame her, she is an unqualified mother," he said expressionlessly, "I raised Qingyuan and Ange."

Ying Baoyue's eyes were filled with ripples, "Master, there's nothing she can do."

Given Lin Shubai's situation back then, it would be safer for Ji Qingyuan and Ji Ange to follow Ji Mo.

"Yes, she could abandon her own child, but she couldn't abandon a wild child she picked up from outside," Ji Mo sneered, "No, she not only abandoned her own child. She also abandoned her family, her relatives, her own..."

The rest of the sentence was not spoken, but Ying Baoyue knew what he wanted to say.

He wanted to say that Lin Shubai abandoned him.

"Master didn't abandon you, nor did he abandon your family. It's you who couldn't accommodate her."

Anger rose in Ying Baoyue's eyes, "Ji Mo, don't confuse right and wrong."

More than 20 years have passed, and this is the first time she has discussed this issue with Ji Mo face to face since she grew up.

Lin Shubai did not disown her relatives after bringing her back. After her family opposed adopting the child, Lin Shubai took the child to find Ji Mo. In her opinion, Ji Mo was the last person in the world who could help her.

Ying Baoyue took a deep breath and said, "Master left Nanchu because you wanted to sell me out."

"I just handed you over to the human traffickers," Ji Mo said expressionlessly, "and a human trafficker happened to pass by the window."

The young man's momentary thought caused permanent scars.

Ying Baoyue looked at Ji Mo in silence.

She is already twice as old as Ji Mo when he made the decision.

These things that made her feel indignant at the time, now seem to make her wonder who to blame.

To be honest, for a fifteen-year-old noble boy who had been accustomed to buying and selling slaves since childhood, such a change of mind was not excessive.

But this incident became the decisive event in the breakup between Lin Shubai and Ji Mo.

"You should thank me," Ji Mo looked at her coldly, "for not throwing you directly into the water."

"I've always regretted not throwing you directly into the water."

If he had really done that, then none of the things that happened afterwards would have happened. "When you do something, you should do it thoroughly," Ji Mo said calmly, "I didn't do it thoroughly, so I harmed Shu Bai."

He never regretted his decision to sell the baby.

Because what happened later told him that even if he supported Lin Shubai in raising the child, the child would eventually kill her.

Ying Baoyue's breathing became rapid, and an extremely complicated emotion flowed through her heart like magma.

"So, this is why you deliberately asked me to intercept the secret letter?"

There were ripples on the blade of the Sword of King Yue. They were very slight, but Ying Baoyue felt it through his chest.

The sword in Ji Mo's hand was shaking.

His heart was wavering.

"What letter?"

"Eight years ago, you asked the Golden Winged Dapeng to deliver a secret letter to Xu Canghai."

Ying Baoyue stared at him expressionlessly and read out the contents of the secret letter, "Emperor Wei, return quickly and don't let her know."

Eight years ago, she received a secret letter on the day she left Xiao Li Ji. It was after reading the letter that she decided to leave the Cloud Forest and go to Afang Palace.

This letter was a secret letter between the eight gods that she intercepted. According to the hidden code on the letter, it was sent by Ji Mo to Xu Canghai.

"You deliberately let me intercept the secret letter, didn't you?"

Ying Baoyue looked quietly at the man standing still in front of her, "You and Xu Canghai teamed up to set up this situation, right?"

"What game?"

Ji Mo stared at her, as if he was looking at a dead object.

"You two worked together to block Master's intelligence channels, so that she didn't realize that the court was going to take action against her, and then you deliberately leaked this news to me."

Ji Mo alone is not enough to deceive Lin Shubai, but with Xu Canghai, it is different.

Ying Baoyue recalled the guilt Xu Canghai showed when he had lost all his power, and his reaction when Ji Mo pulled him to participate in the ranking ceremony this time, and took a deep breath.

If Ji Mo was the only one who arranged the secret letter, she would not have believed it eight years ago.

Xu Canghai was also an accomplice.

"It was you two who worked together to arrange that letter and deceived the master."

"Deceived?"

Ji Mo stared at Ying Baoyue's eyes and laughed out loud, as if he had heard the most ridiculous joke in the world.

"So to this day, you still think that I harmed Shu Bai?"

"You're not trying to hurt her."

Ying Baoyue stared quietly at the pair of eyes that were extremely similar to Ji Jiashu and Ji Qingyuan.

"You are trying to hurt me."

With a swish, all the falling bamboo leaves in the small world stopped in mid-air.

The "Emperor's crisis" in the secret letter refers to the critical illness of Emperor Taizu, and "return quickly" seems to mean that Ji Mo asked Xu Canghai to go to Afang Palace, but in fact it implies that a huge crisis has occurred in the court.

"Don't let her know" means that Lin Shubai must not know about this, which also means that Lin Shubai himself is in danger.

"Eight years ago, you worked together to block the information, so that Master would not be aware of his own danger. Then you gave me the letter to let me know that Master was in danger."

"You know, I am worried about Master's safety. After seeing this letter, I will definitely leave the Cloud Forest and return to Afang Palace."

Ji Mo smiled, but the meaning of his smile was unclear. "Why should I do this?"

"Because you know."

Ying Baoyue whispered, "If Master is in danger, I will die for her."

This foreshadowing is in the Secret Letter in Chapter 465 of Volume 3

When Ji Mo met Xu Canghai before, he also said that they had committed a "sin" together.

They're all boomerangs.
