Mister Qingyun's birthday banquet could be said to have ended perfectly. Many of the guests who had come left one after another. This included Xu Qingbai and Mister Xiuting, who had rushed back to the Western Tomb as soon as possible. After all, the Western Tomb had just been conquered, and there was still a need for someone to hold the fort there. As for the dignitaries of the various countries, including Jhennam Of Gojoseon and Mo Jingli, they had no intention of leaving. Everyone understood that the true negotiations and game of chess would only truly begin today. Whoever left at this time would be the one who would be sidelined in this competition, thus losing the opportunity to seize the initiative.
Glass City, which was originally already surging with undercurrents, became even more mysterious because of the sudden appearance of the Infinite Boundless Mountain's successor at Mister Qingyun's birthday banquet.
In the Prince Ding Mansion, Lei Zhenting sat in the study, sipping tea as he sized up Ye Li and Mo Xiuyao who were seated at the head of the table, his expression somewhat complicated. Although he had already considered the possibility that Mo Xiuyao might reject him when he had brought Mo Xiuyao to Glass City, he still could not help but feel a little shocked when he heard Mo Xiuyao's answer from the start. To be honest, if not for the fact that the Emperor Of Xiling had once given birth to a queen of the Infinite Boundless Mountain, Lei Zhenting was not sure if he would be able to reject such a temptation. However, Mo Xiuyao had already rejected him. Although he was a little shocked, the overall situation was still in his favor. He naturally would not be so foolish as to push the power of the Infinite Boundless Mountain onto Mo Xiuyao.
"Prince Ding's decisions always surprise I," Lei Zhenting raised the teacup in his hands towards Mo Xiuyao to show his respect.
Mo Xiuyao smiled mildly, "Jhennam Of Gojoseon overpraises me. Isn't Jhennam Of Gojoseon also not interested?"
Lei Zhenting sighed somewhat regretfully, "If I said that I was really not interested in the power of the Infinite Boundless Mountain, that would be a lie to Prince Ding. It was just that … it wasn't suitable. Moreover, even at this age, I am still being manipulated by others. I might as well just die here and be done with it. "If Infinite Boundless Mountain only had Dongfang You alone, it would not be of much use. After Dongfang You, there would definitely be others joining. Lei Zhenting's grandmother was of the Infinite Boundless Mountain. He could be said to be the person who understood Infinite Boundless Mountain the most in this world. Naturally, he would not allow himself to be made into a puppet.
"I heard that Prince Ding has officially rejected Dongfang You. However, based on I's understanding of her, I'm afraid that she won't give up so easily." Lei Zhenting calmly reminded. Even though he and Mo Xiuyao were destined to be enemies, but … sometimes they could still work together.
Mo Xiuyao raised his eyebrows and said disdainfully, "So what if I don't give up? Infinite Boundless Mountain's descendant is actually like that. That so-called Infinite Boundless Mountain is also about to fall, right? " Dongfang You was indeed very powerful. At least in terms of martial arts, Mo Xiuyao had never seen a woman who could surpass her. Even among men, she could probably be ranked in the top ten of the Jianghu. Since she was from the Infinite Boundless Mountain, she should also be proficient in the four arts. Also, with Lei Zhenting's personal guarantee, Dongfang You was also proficient in medicine. It was just a pity that while Dongfang You was good at everything, her brain was not too good.
Looking at Mo Xiuyao and Ye Li smiling at each other, the indistinct intimacy between the two of them made one feel as if there was an invisible layer binding them together, completely different from outsiders, while outsiders were also unable to come between them. Lei Zhenting lowered his eyes slightly, deep in thought. "Since someone from Infinite Boundless Mountain has come out, they will definitely have to choose someone to support. Since Prince Ding has already rejected her, who is the most likely candidate? "
Mo Xiuyao did not hide it. "Mo Jingli."
Lei Zhenting's face darkened slightly. Mo Jingli was currently in a standoff with him at the Cloud Water River. If he had Infinite Boundless Mountain's help, the one who would be out of luck would still be him. Mo Xiuyao was far away, and naturally did not have anything to do with him for the time being. Looking at Lei Zhenting's displeased expression, Ye Li smiled mildly, "Jhennam Of Gojoseon need not worry. If Mo Jingli is too strong, it would also be of no benefit to our Prince Ding Mansion. We will naturally not sit by and do nothing."
Lei Zhenting was not someone who could be so easily convinced. Looking at Ye Li, he smiled, "Let Infinite Boundless Mountain support Mo Jingli, and then I and Mo Jingli will fight it out to the death, while the Prince Ding Mansion will reap the benefits. The two of you are really good at scheming. Since that is the case, I feel that Ren Qining is more suitable. Being the orphan of the previous dynasty, wouldn't that be more in line with Infinite Boundless Mountain's choice? "
Mo Xiuyao's smile was slightly cold, "Ren Qining does not have that fate."
Lei Zhenting's gaze hardened, as he quickly calculated the meaning behind Mo Xiuyao's words. The Prince Ding Mansion intended to make a move against the north? He had thought that the Prince Ding Mansion's greatest enemy should be the Northern Tribes.
Seeing Lei Zhenting's doubts and guesses, Mo Xiuyao did not explain, saying mildly, "Jhennam Of Gojoseon can just watch. Mo Jingli is Infinite Boundless Mountain's only choice. Of course … Jhennam Of Gojoseon has another choice. "
"I'm all ears," Lei Zhenting said cautiously. With a smile on his face, Mo Xiuyao said casually, "Before Infinite Boundless Mountain chooses who to assist, exterminate them."
"Sss —" Lei Zhenting could not help but suck in a breath of cold air, staring at Mo Xiuyao for a while before finally confirming that he was not joking, and was really proposing such a thing. After a long time, Lei Zhenting sighed, "Prince Ding does not understand Infinite Boundless Mountain very well. Therefore, he does not know their strength, "Mo Xiuyao nodded," I indeed do not understand Infinite Boundless Mountain very well. " The descendants of Infinite Boundless Mountain had never offended anyone from the Prince Ding Mansion. Therefore, to the Prince Ding Mansion, the so-called Infinite Boundless Mountain was no more than an illusory legend. Perhaps the people of Infinite Boundless Mountain themselves also knew that the previous leaders of the Prince Ding Mansion had never been suitable for them to manipulate. "But … even so. Infinite Boundless Mountain still does not have the strength to contend against a country, right? "Since they had planned so many things, it proved that the people of Infinite Boundless Mountain also had ambitions. Harboring ambitions yet always hiding behind others, that could only mean that the other party still did not have the ability to fight for the throne under the heavens.
Lei Zhenting shook his head, "The reason why the people of Infinite Boundless Mountain have never participated in fighting for the throne under the heavens. It is not that they do not have the strength to do so. Rather … "Lei Zhenting hesitated for a moment, seemingly unsure whether he should say it or not. Pausing for a moment, he still finally opened his mouth, "The reason why they have always been in seclusion is because the previous Lords of Infinite Boundless Mountain have always been women. They simply cannot come out and fight for the position of the Nine and Five themselves. The Central Plains are not like the Southern Territories. Whether it is the common folk or the generals, they would definitely not tolerate a woman ascending to the throne. Therefore, they can only choose to control it from the shadows. After hundreds of years of operation, Infinite Boundless Mountain's influence has long since spread throughout the Western Tomb of the Da Chu State, even the Southern Zhao Northern Tribes, and even the various countries of the Western Regions have traces of them. Does Prince Ding know why Dongfang You has suddenly appeared this time? "
Mo Xiuyao raised his brows, not saying anything.
Lei Zhenting said coldly, "Because quite a few of the people Prince Ding killed in the Emperor Of Xiling's City belonged to Infinite Boundless Mountain, it was only because of this that the current Lord of Infinite Boundless Mountain was alerted. Prince Ding is right. Actually, the best choice for Infinite Boundless Mountain right now is Mo Jingli, because currently … Infinite Boundless Mountain has the most influence in the Imperial Court of the Da Chu State. Also … even in your Prince Ding Mansion, I cannot guarantee that there are no people of Infinite Boundless Mountain. "
