Outside the Purple Bamboo Courtyard.

Mo Xiaoxiao, Yin Ke, and another unfamiliar young man were standing at the door.

"Tang Tian."

Seeing Tang Tian come out, Mo Xiaoxiao greeted him with a smile.

"Miss Mo, long time no see."

Tang Tian also smiled in response.

"Just call me Xiaoxiao."

Mo Xiaoxiao said, "You finally came back."

"So many people wanted to tear me apart. If you didn't come back, I might not have been able to hold on and would have had to return to Tianfu."

Tang Tian laughed, "I went on a long journey, didn't expect you to return so quickly."

"Come in."

Then, he invited the three guests into the Purple Bamboo Courtyard and sat down under the old locust tree.

After sitting down, Mo Xiaoxiao introduced, "You know Yin Ke."

"This is my older brother, Mo Jun."

After speaking, Mo Jun bowed to Tang Tian, "These days, Xiaoxiao has been mentioning your name almost every day. My ears are starting to get calloused from hearing it."

"I'm curious, what kind of young hero can make her, who has such high standards, think about him so much."

"Today, seeing Tang Gongzi, it's true that you're extraordinary."

Unlike Mo Xiaoxiao's decisive and sharp manner, Mo Jun, as an older brother, had a refined temperament and a gentle voice that easily made people like him.

"Brother Mo, you flatter me."

Tang Tian also bowed, "Xiaoxiao and I had some agreements before. She was probably worried that I wouldn't come back."

"Now that I've returned, what do you plan to do?"

He went straight to the point.

Mo Xiaoxiao sighed, "I don't have any plans."

"I'm completely out of the competition. This time, I just came back to take all of Nanfeng's trusted followers with me."

"Speaking of which, I have to thank you again for helping at a critical moment."

"If it weren't for you, I'm afraid none of my people would have survived."

Tang Tian waved his hand, indicating it was nothing.

After all, they had made a deal in advance.

"Now, Tian Yangsheng is also out. The only competitors for that position are you and Lu Changge."

Mo Xiaoxiao continued, "Before I leave, I will transfer all of Nanfeng's influence and all the connections I have built within the sect to you."

"In addition, the Mo family will stand behind you, protecting you from the direct influence of the upper powers in Tianfu."

"With this, I believe your chances of winning against Lu Changge will increase."

Tang Tian nodded.

Not only would his chances increase a little, with Mo Xiaoxiao's support and the influence of the Mo family, he would be on par with Lu Changge and the Good and Evil Hall. Even if Lu Changge integrated the forces of the main peak, East Peak, West Peak, and North Peak, Tang Tian would still have the power to fight.

Not to mention, there was also Chi Yuan.

In terms of influence within the sect, Tang Tian was no longer weaker than Lu Changge.

Thank you."

"I do have plans to compete for that position now."

Tang Tian didn't hide anything and said directly.

Mo Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "You should have done that earlier."

"Power is quite important within the jurisdiction of Tianfu."

"You can do without it, but you can't be without it."

"But..."

As she spoke, she suddenly changed her tone and said, "This matter may be more complicated than we imagined."

Tang Tian furrowed his brows slightly, "What do you mean?"

Mo Xiaoxiao glanced at Mo Jun and then slowly said, "During the time I was away, I also conducted a detailed investigation into the incident involving Du Yuanqing."

"I can't let others splash dirty water on me."

"So, I used the power of my family to conduct some in-depth digging."

"But the result of the investigation..."

Mo Xiaoxiao sighed, "I originally thought that it was Lu Changge or Tian Yangsheng who orchestrated this big show."

"But during the investigation, I discovered traces of other people who have nothing to do with Qingyue Gate."

"And when I was preparing to continue the investigation, someone stepped in to stop me."

Tang Tian frowned and asked, "Who was it?"

"Can they even stop you?"

Mo Xiaoxiao, as a member of the Mo family, may not seem impressive in Qingyue Gate, but her power and influence in the family cannot be compared to Qingyue Gate.

The person who can stop her must not be an ordinary person.

However, Mo Xiaoxiao shook her head.

"He didn't stop me."

"He directly issued a warning to the high-level members of the Mo family, telling us not to get involved in this matter anymore."

"And even... the faint clues we managed to find cannot be revealed to anyone."

"Otherwise, the Mo family may suffer unbearable losses."

After listening, Tang Tian was stunned.

What is the Mo family?

It is one of the most powerful forces within the entire Cloud Top Heavenly Mansion.

Its heritage is even more profound than the War God Temple of Tian Yangsheng and the Good and Evil Hall of Lu Changge. It is one of the oldest forces in the Heavenly Mansion.

Who can make the Mo family feel wary?

More importantly, why would such an existence focus on a small Qingyue Gate?

Moreover, it is about the dispute between honorary disciples.

In the eyes of such a person, Du Yuanqing's level is probably not even worth mentioning.

Tang Tian felt that his brain couldn't keep up.

The secrets involved in this matter are probably beyond his imagination at the moment.

"If that's the case, the position we are fighting for..."

Tang Tian was worried that this position was also shrouded in mystery.

But Mo Xiaoxiao quickly shook her head, "This position in Qingyue Gate is not affected."

"Those people should have other purposes. Du Yuanqing's matter should only be a prelude for them."

"And no matter what, we have no way to deal with it."

"An existence of that level can make anyone a pawn. There's no escaping it."

"Just do what we need to do."

Tang Tian paused, but then nodded.

No matter in which world, there are only a few people playing chess. Only when one truly reaches the peak can they truly break free from fate.

As for all living beings...

Being able to live a good life is already fulfilling enough.

"So, are you planning to give up the investigation?"

Tang Tian asked.

Mo Xiaoxiao smiled and shook her head, "I'm just not going to delve deeper."

"But for those who conspired against me and framed me, I won't let them off easily."

"At the very least, I won't let them live comfortably."

Tang Tian raised an eyebrow, "It seems like you have found something."

Mo Xiaoxiao nodded, "There's a saying, 'Those involved are confused, while those on the sidelines see clearly.'"

"When I was completely out of the game and returned to the family, I noticed some things that I hadn't paid attention to before."

"In fact, if we trace back from the result, it's easy to notice some anomalies."

"Because often, the person who benefits the most after a major event is the one who initiated it."

Tang Tian fell silent.

For Mo Xiaoxiao to say this, she must have found some accurate clues.

So, if we trace back from the result, there is only one person left who has benefited.

"Are you saying... Lu Changge?"

Tang Tian asked.
