Gou Zai Liang Jie as a Human Gu

Lin Mo explained in a deep voice, "My martial arts skills all come from Song Yan's meticulous teaching."

Zhang Zhiyuan was even more confused: "So, Song Yan was your mentor, then why did you kill him? That's the greatest act of filial impiety! Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?"

【Midnight】 and 【Cockcrow】 remained calm and collected. They exchanged a glance and saw a hint of something fishy in each other's eyes.

[The rooster crows] exclaims in admiration, "Song inkstones are truly remarkable."

Zhang Zhiyuan looked at him in confusion: "Master Chicken, I don't quite understand. Song Yan is a pitiful person, so how come he's not simple?"

[Midnight] rolled her eyes dramatically and explained, "If you were teaching Lin Mo, could you have guided him to his current level of success?"

"How long has Lin Mo been practicing martial arts? At most, no more than two months. To go from a novice to a fifth-rank expert in just two months—is that something an ordinary person could teach?"

Zhang Zhiyuan was speechless when asked the question.

He really didn't have the confidence to teach such an extraordinary disciple.

"It seems that Song Yan really does have some problems."

[Chicken Crow] looked intently at Lin Mo and couldn't help but ask, "I'm not trying to pry into your background, but Junior Brother, what kind of cultivation technique did Song Yan teach you that allowed you to advance to the fifth rank in just two months?"

He asked this question to confirm Song Yan's identity.

Lin Mo explained, "Part of it was due to my good fortune, which came from the Immortal Sect. As for martial arts, there's nothing to hide. Song Yan first taught me the [Ruyi Pure Yang Skill], which is for building a foundation. Later, he taught me the [Limitless Whale Swallowing Skill]. I don't need to explain what that skill is, do I?"

The three of them changed their expressions simultaneously, their pupils suddenly contracting.

"The Song Dynasty inkstone definitely has a serious problem!"

【Wuji Whale Swallowing Skill】Using others as firewood to make wedding clothes for oneself.

This technique is nothing short of demonic.

[Midnight] asked in a deep voice, "Is he a member of the Immortal Sect, or the Maitreya Sect?"

Lin Mo shook his head: "I don't know."

[Chicken Crow] sighed, "Indeed, this person's scheme is extremely deep. If you hadn't brought it up, we would have almost been fooled by him."

"Tell me, how do you plan to kill this man?"

Lin Mo replied, "I will use the excuse of healing his injuries to transfer him out of the city and send him to the manor. Once he leaves Thunder Dragon City, we will ambush him on the way. I will have to trouble you two senior brothers."

[At midnight] he laughed and scolded, "So you're saying we're doing all the hard labor while you sit and watch the show?"

[Chicken Crow] said worriedly, "Song Yan is a man of deep cunning, and his cultivation is probably not bad. Whether he is from the Immortal Sect or the Buddhist Sect, his methods are extraordinary. I'm afraid my brother and I will not be able to control him."

Lin Mo replied, "No rush. Let me wait for the Wheel-Turning Dharma King to come to me. I'll first confirm his relationship with Song Yan. If there is no relationship, then I'll have the Maitreya Sect sever the karmic ties between me and Song Yan as master and disciple."

[Chicken Crow]'s eyes lit up, and he agreed, "What a brilliant tactic of letting the snipe and the clam fight while the fisherman benefits! Lin Mo, you're really cunning."

Lin Mo rolled her eyes at him: "Brother Chicken, are you praising me or insulting me?"

[Chicken Crow]'s face tightened: "If you don't call me Brother Chicken, it's a compliment."

"Alright, from now on I'll call you Chicken Second." Lin Mo said with a teasing smile, "Chicken Second, that sounds much better, Brother Ye, what do you think?"

"Haha, you're a real chicken, I'll call you Chicken from now on." [Midnight] laughed triumphantly.

[Chicken Crow]'s face turned completely black. Enraged, he reached out and grabbed [Midnight] by the neck: "I called you Chicken Second Brother, I called you Chicken... ugh! I'll kill you!"

"Kukuku...!"

……

Lin Mo returned to the Prince's Mansion and took a long nap.

In fact, at his level of cultivation, he could go without sleep for days and nights without any problems.

However, life is short, and it's good to have a little bit of excitement.

Only then did Lin Mo feel like a human being.

Instead of being a monster who only knows how to cultivate.

After a good night's sleep, Lin Mo went out of the manor to eat, drink, and have fun. When the brothel madam saw this god of wealth, she was all smiles and wished she could personally serve him.

Just as they were enjoying their drinks, Lin Mo suddenly raised an eyebrow.

He sensed a divine will locking onto him.

The other party had no intention of killing; they were simply locking onto him.

If it's an assassination, they won't care about the occasion; they'll just draw their sword and start fighting.

Lin Mo immediately made an excuse to change his clothes, got up and left, and entered the secluded and deserted courtyard of the brothel.

He said, "You may now show yourself."

"Zhu Xuan greets Your Highness."

Lin Mo glanced at the person in front of him. He was tall and imposing, with an honest-looking face and traces of red bean paste still on the corner of his mouth.

Zhu Xuan noticed Lin Mo's gaze, stuck out her scarlet tongue, curled it up, and licked the corner of her mouth clean.

Lin Mo sat down at the stone table and invited everyone to sit down as well.

Zhu Xuan sat down and said bluntly to Lin Mo, "The Crown Prince spent money to buy your life. I think that since we are all in the top ten of the Martial Arts Spirit Ranking, even if I could kill you, I would definitely have to pay a considerable price. So I wanted to have a chat with you."

Lin Mo guessed his intention: "You mean to throw the match?"

"Fraudulent match-fixing?" Zhu Xuan's honest face froze for a moment.

Lin Mo rephrased it: "I want you to cooperate with me in a charade, to stage an assassination, and then you will be defeated and forced to flee. That way, the assassination will be considered complete, and you can preserve your reputation without worrying about being criticized. You can continue to take on jobs and make a living in the future."

"Yes, yes, you really understand me so well." Zhu Xuan looked at Lin Mo with sincere eyes, her face full of genuine affection.

This appearance is so deceptive.

Lin Mo was puzzled; how could someone pretend so well?

"Why should I help you act?" Lin Mo asked back.

Zhu Xuan took out a silver note from her bosom: "This is two hundred taels, gold. The Crown Prince promised me eight hundred taels and prepaid me half. This is half of that. As long as you agree to act, this money is yours."

Lin Mo looked at him intently and said, "Are you that afraid of death?"

Zhu Xuan replied, "It's not that I'm afraid of dying, it's that it's unnecessary. I'm only after money, there's no need for me to risk my life."

Lin Mo nodded: "That's true, but you know I'm not short of money. I'm the heir apparent, with mountains of gold and silver that I can't spend. You can't bribe me with this little bit of money."

"Then what do you want?" Zhu Xuan's eyes widened, her expression somewhat anxious.

Lin Mo pondered for a moment, then said, "Send the person behind you to see me."

Zhu Xuan's pupils suddenly contracted, and she chuckled憨厚ly, "What did you say? I don't understand."

Lin Mo's lips curled into a smile, and he snorted lightly: "Tell him a message: I have a master-disciple relationship with someone, and unless that person dies, his wishful thinking will not succeed."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Mo's figure suddenly disappeared.

Zhu Xuan watched as the man suddenly disappeared from the stone bench, his eyes tightening instantly. The next moment, he put away the silver notes and ran away at lightning speed.

"Damn it! He's actually a cultivator! These Biyang bastards tricked me! This isn't ninth on the Spirit Ranking; even the first place wouldn't stand a chance! I'm not playing with you anymore; I'm running away!"

Just as Zhu Xuan mounted her fast horse, spurred it on, and quickly fled from Thunder Dragon City.

In the sky, amidst the thick clouds, a pure white figure—the Chakravartin, with a pale face and an even whiter, radiant head—witnessed everything.

"Now that there's a master-disciple karmic connection, it turns out the immortal sects of Biyang had this all planned all along. Who was it?"

The Wheel-Turning Dharma King was counting on his fingers in mid-air when his fingers suddenly stopped.

"It was actually Song Yan. What a ruthless Prince Li! He could actually send Song Yan to assassinate the Crown Prince and die. What a clever trick. He fooled all of us."

"It seems that without eliminating this person, the great cause of my Maitreya sect will be difficult to achieve."

"This matter requires careful consideration."
