Chapter 168 Not A Good Person
For the next few days, Zhao Mu left early in the morning and returned late at night. During the day, he would follow Grandmaster Ye Chengming to set up the protective array. At night, he would spend two hours teaching Wu Miaomiao and then spend some alone time with the empress.
Although it was said that it was just the two of them, nothing actually happened.
Although he carried the empress home last time, it was only because her legs were numb and she couldn't walk. The good thing that Zhao Mu imagined didn't happen.
However, during this period of time, the empress's favorability towards him had increased slightly. It was already close to 70.
Zhao Mu would also send things to the empress every day to increase her favorability. However, it was very difficult for the empress's favorability to increase.
After all, she was the master of a sect for three thousand years. What kind of world had she not seen? It was too difficult to move her heart.
It was another nine to five day.
However, it was slightly different when he returned home.
There were two more women in the house.
They were Xing Ziyue and Shi Rui. (The previous sentence was wrong. The one who escorted Wen Yan to the Sword Immortal Pavilion was Shi Rui and not Mu Jiuling.)
At this moment, the two of them were sitting upright with a well-behaved face, appearing very reserved.
Although Empress Qing Yun had lost her strength and her aura was no different from a mortal's, her position and image in the hearts of the disciples of the Devil Sect were still so high and unattainable. It was daunting.
"Have you met the Great Elder of the Sword Immortal Pavilion?" Zhao Mu asked.
Xing Ziyue nodded. "Yes, it was as I guessed. Great Elder Wen Xingluo already knows about the Devil Sect. Although he didn't reject, his attitude was very perfunctory. I'm afraid there's no chance."
Shi Rui followed up. "But there's still a chance. We heard that in a few days, Sword God Qu Liu will come out of seclusion and host the decennial Sword Test Conference. At that time, all the sword cultivators in the world will have the opportunity to participate. If they can squeeze into the top ten, they will be qualified to enter the sacred ground to meet Sword God and obtain a trace of his sword intent. This is the best opportunity to get close to Sword God Qu Liu …"
However, as she spoke, Shi Rui suddenly closed her mouth.
Zhao Mu could roughly guess what she was thinking.
He had also heard about the Sword Test Conference. It was considered a traditional competition of the Sword Immortal Pavilion and was very important.
If one could stand out in the Sword Test Conference, it was very likely that one would be able to obtain the status of an official disciple of the Sword Immortal Pavilion and obtain the qualifications to meet Sword God.
However, this was definitely not an easy task.
Those who came to participate in the Sword Trial were all famous Jianghu experts. It was said that there was even a Tribulation Stage expert who came to participate in the Sword Trial. What was even more ridiculous was that the Tribulation Stage expert was eliminated halfway.
Although it was impossible to verify the authenticity, it was enough to see how fierce the competition was.
According to Shi Rui's original plan, since Empress Qing Yun was also present, as long as she participated in the Sword Trial, she would definitely win and obtain the qualification to meet Sword God Qu Liu.
But now that the empress had lost all her strength, this method naturally wouldn't work.
Xing Ziyue suddenly looked at Zhao Mu. "Junior Brother Zhao, you're quite strong. Why don't you participate in the Sword Trial? If you can squeeze into the top ten, you still have a chance."
Zhao Mu smiled bitterly. "Even if we meet the Sword God Qu Liu, what's the point?"
Saint Yuan Old Ancestor was most likely imprisoned by Sword God Qu Liu. If he knew that a group of Saint Yuan Devil Sect people had snuck into the Sword Immortal Pavilion, he would probably slash them with his sword.
But at this moment, the empress suddenly stood up and said, "Zhao Mu, go participate in the Sword Trial."
Ah, this …
Could it be that she had some plan?
"Fine, then I'll go and have some fun. I've never submitted to anyone when it comes to fighting." Zhao Mu chuckled.
Recently, he had been dealing with formations every day. Although it was interesting, his muscles and bones were somewhat stiff.
It was time to move around.
After chatting for a while, Xing Ziyue and Shi Rui took their leave.
If the empress wasn't around, they might have stayed for the night.
However, with the empress here, they would feel uncomfortable if they stayed for even a second longer.
Zhao Mu sent the two girls off and looked back at Tang Qing, who had closed his eyes to rest. He couldn't help but sigh.
Brother, you have suffered recently!
After returning to the house, Zhao Mu remembered that Wu Miaomiao didn't come over today. After asking Tang Qing, he found out that she had already come over once. When she saw that there were guests, she thought that Zhao Mu had something to do and left.
This girl … was a little too obedient.
"Aren't you curious why I arranged for you to participate in the Sword Test and gave you the important task of meeting Sword God Qu Liu?" Tang Qing asked.
Zhao Mu shrugged his shoulders. "The empress must have her own ideas and strategies. As a disciple of the Devil Sect, I will carry out the empress's orders. Why should I care about the reason?"
After saying this, Zhao Mu felt that the empress's favorable impression of him increased a little.
Sure enough, no one disliked obedient subordinates.
Even the empress of the Devil Sect was no exception.
Speaking of which, Zhao Mu had learned this from Wu Miaomiao. In the blink of an eye, he had used it on the empress. This could be considered as applying it flexibly.
"You seem very calm. Aren't you afraid of encountering an accident in the Sword Test? According to my understanding, the competition in the Sword Test is extremely fierce. At least 20% of the participants die in each session. Not to mention that you are only at the Deity Transformation Realm, even if you are at the Void Refinement Realm or the Combination Realm, dying in the Sword Test is not rare."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Mu frowned slightly.
Why did it have to be so bloody?
He originally thought that the Sword Test would at most be a competition of sword intent and sword dao. Now, it seemed that Zhao Mu had underestimated him.
However, since he had already said it, there was no reason to turn back.
Furthermore, Zhao Mu was quite confident in his strength. There was no harm in giving it a try. If he really encountered danger, he could just admit defeat and give up.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will do my best to complete the mission."
Tang Qing smiled sweetly and said, "You don't have to force yourself. This is just one method. If it doesn't work, you can just change to another method. Cultivators need to know how to cherish their lives. Don't rush forward when you know that there is danger ahead. It's not shameful to take a step back when you can't solve the problem."
"Is the empress concerned about me?" Zhao Mu laughed mischievously and stared at the empress with his deep eyes.
With 70 points of favorable impression, Zhao Mu dared to be slightly more impudent.
"Does it look good?" Tang Qing suddenly asked.
Zhao Mu nodded with sincerity. "Empress, you are undoubtedly the number one beauty of the Immortal Martial Continent. Whoever is able to marry you must have saved the entire universe in his previous life."
"Then you might not have a chance. A man who would secretly bully a weak woman must not have been a good person in his previous life."
After saying that, Tang Qing turned around and returned to the bedroom.
Zhao Mu stood rooted to the ground, his face a mess.
Super? What does that mean?
Could it be that she found out that I stole the empress's kiss?
Is she warning me?
Should I pack up and run away in advance? Otherwise, when the empress regains her strength, will she be the first to target me?
Wind novel.
That night, Zhao Mu's mind was filled with wild thoughts. His mood was fluctuating, and it was very exciting.
