The person standing in front of him was a female cultivator with a very low position in the department. She was about forty years old and usually didn't speak much.
Mo Xi was a little surprised and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I … just received a letter from the school saying that my daughter was beaten up by Lord Changfeng's daughter and is slightly injured. I'm worried and want to go and take a look. But I still have a lot of files to sort out … "
As she spoke, she couldn't help but reveal an awkward and worried expression.
"I, I've asked a few colleagues, but they all have something to do. Even Young Master Yue is having a drink with his friends in the East Market … so I was wondering if I could trouble you …"
Mo Xi frowned slightly.
He didn't mind helping her, but the name Lord Changfeng, which had been silent for many years, seemed to have appeared a little too frequently recently.
"Is her injury serious?"
"I heard that she twisted her arm," the female cultivator said. "Although it's not serious, she's been crying non-stop. The elders can't do anything about it."
"Then you go. Be careful on the way. "
The female cultivator originally didn't have much hope for this cold commander, but she didn't expect that after begging so many people, he would actually agree in the end. She couldn't help but open her eyes wide, and her cheeks finally flushed with joy.
"Thank you, Lord Xi He. The baskets of files are, are all over there … "She was so excited that she stuttered." I, I've already sorted out most of them. I'm really sorry to trouble you to do such a small thing … "
"It's okay. Your daughter is more important."
The female cultivator thanked him three or four times and hurriedly left. Mo Xi stayed in the Military Council alone to sort out the past files.
He was in a high position and had never taken care of such trivial matters before. Now that he was doing it, he realized that it wasn't easy. There were many files, and they had to be sorted according to age and rank. The important ones had to be sealed, and the useless ones had to be destroyed. He was new to this, so he did it very slowly. When he was almost done sorting out all the files, it was already very late at night.
There was one last box left.
This dusty box contained the files of all the cultivators in the department. Mo Xi glanced at it and saw a familiar name at the edge. He lowered his eyes and stood there for a while. He couldn't help but reach out to take the scroll related to Gu Mang's case. The dust on the scroll slowly gathered and he spread it out.
There were many things inside.
Gu Mang's origin, slave status, divine martial arts, and habitual moves.
Mo Xi flipped through the thick stack of documents page by page. He stood there and slowly read from the beginning to the back. Suddenly, a piece of silk fell out of the military records.
The scroll had already turned yellow, and the words "Cultivation School Bingshen Year Morality Examination" were written on it in large, dignified letters.
Mo Xi stared blankly for a moment. Was this Gu Mang's graduation paper from the Cultivation School?
Looking down, Mo Xi saw the familiar handwriting. It was a mess and the content made Mo Xi speechless.
— — Cultivation School Ethics Exam for the Year of Bingshen
Responding Cultivator: Gu Mang
He asked, "I reflect on myself three times a day. Disciple, please reflect on your own shortcomings and answer truthfully. "
He answered, "I lack money."
He asked, "What are the three things that Chong Hua cultivators must avoid when slaying demons? How to avoid them? "
He answered, "First, be careful that the client has no money. Second, be careful that the client runs away. Third, be careful that the client runs away with the money. How to avoid them: Before slaying demons, pay first for safety. No credit. "
He asked, "Please write about the three most benevolent and kind ancestors of Chong Hua since the founding of the country."
He answered, "I don't know. But the three most shameless ones are — — "
Later on, the angry elder used magic to burn three holes in the scroll. Thus, Mo Xi had no way of knowing which three names Gu Mang had written.
Mo Xi looked at the answer scroll. The familiar handwriting was still young and inexperienced. He felt amused and depressed. He stared at it in a daze for a long time. Suddenly, he heard a commotion outside.
"Not good!!"
"Someone come quickly! Something happened at Luo Mei Villa!!! "
Luo Mei Villa?!
Mo Xi was shocked — Gu Mang?!
It happened so suddenly that when he rushed over, only twenty or so guards on night duty had arrived. They were in a Demon Hunting Formation, staring at the gate of Luo Mei Villa with vigilant expressions. Every one of them was injured, and the bluestone road beneath their feet was torn apart by the previous fight. The surrounding streets and alleys were not much better. Several shops had collapsed, bricks and tiles were scattered, and broken wood was emitting scorched smoke.
When the leader saw Mo Xi, he immediately shouted, "Marshal Mo!"
"What happened?"
"It's Gu Mang! I don't know what happened to Gu Mang, but a strong evil aura suddenly erupted from his body. He went berserk! "
"Where is he?"
"He was just injured by us. He's hiding behind the heavy gate of Luo Mei Villa. He doesn't dare to rashly fight again. We're the same. We're waiting for reinforcements!"
Mo Xi looked at the creaking gate. Sure enough, he saw a person standing in the shadow behind the gate. In the darkness, a pair of eyes shone faintly.
Gu Mang was also keeping a close eye on the situation outside.
Mo Xi stared at the pair of wolf eyes and asked, "Wasn't his spiritual nucleus destroyed? Why can he suddenly fight again? "
"We don't know either!" The cultivator in the lead was on the verge of tears. "This person's movement technique is really too evil. Back then, if he had killed him with a single slash of his saber, it would have been much cleaner. Why would he bother to lock himself up in this Fallen Plum Garden? Alas!"
Xiao Xiu next to him said angrily, "I think he's just pretending to be stupid! What spiritual nucleus destroyed and brain destroyed? Look at him just now. Does he look like someone who doesn't even have the strength to truss a chicken? "
"That's right! If he really doesn't have any spiritual energy left, then who gave me this scar on my face? "
"Why did Jun Shang spare his dog life!"
Just as he was complaining at the same time, he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves coming from not far away. Mo Que turned around and saw twelve high level cultivators escorting a gold-engraved carriage, galloping over through the thin snow.
"The Lord Wangshu is here!"
The warm curtains of the gold-engraved carriage were pulled open. The attendants stepped on the carriage's feet, umbrellas, and incense burners were all prepared. After a while, a sickly and thin face slowly appeared from inside.
"Oh, it's so lively." The Murong Lian saw Mo Xi at a glance. "Lord Xi He is here again."
Mo Xi didn't want to be long-winded with him. He only said, "Gu Mang is in trouble."
The Murong Lian sneered. "Of course I know that. That's why I'm here."
As he spoke, he slowly took a few steps forward. He stood not far from the red gate and then silently chanted an incantation. His left palm emitted a brilliant blue light.
"Go. Arrest the evil creature. "
Following his command, the blue light turned into a chain and quickly swam towards the door. Only a "bang" sound was heard! The five-inch-thick gate was pierced through and fell down with a loud crash. Gu Mang, who was hiding behind the gate, was caught off guard and was immediately bound by the blue light chain.
The Murong Lian shouted again, "Come back."
The chain suddenly tightened and there was a clattering sound. Gu Mang staggered and knelt on the ground. He was quickly dragged to the front of the Murong Lian by the chain.
"It's just a mad dog causing trouble."
A wide satin shoe embroidered with dark patterns of the moon stepped on Gu Mang's face.
The Murong Lian said indifferently, "Why bother Marshal Mo to come here in person?"
Gu Mang was bound by him. His eyes were chaotic and his body was surrounded by violent spiritual currents. His teeth were chattering.
"Let me go …"
"Let you go?" The Murong Lian sneered, "When was it your turn to give me orders?" As he spoke, he tightened his grip and the chain closed around his palm with a clattering sound. It pulled Gu Mang up along with it. The Murong Lian grabbed his hair and forced him to look at him.
Two equally pale and abnormal faces were facing each other. The tips of their noses were almost touching each other.
The Murong Lian said, "I am the master and you are the slave. Marshal Gu, I've starved you for a month and you still don't remember? "
Gu Mang, "… Let me go …"
The Murong Lian's delicate face flashed with a kind of almost perverted luster. He was just about to speak when he suddenly saw Gu Mang squint his eyes. The Murong Lian's heart thumped. As a cultivator, his instinctive vigilance made him suddenly release Gu Mang and quickly retreat!
Almost at the same time, a dazzling sword array burst out from Gu Mang's body again. This time, the array was much more shocking than before. Each of the light swords was several feet tall. The one closest to the Murong Lian left the sword array in an instant and directly stabbed towards the Murong Lian's heart!
"Master, be careful!"
"Lord Wangshu, be careful!"
The surrounding attendants cried out in alarm. Although the Murong Lian's body movements were poor, he was still on guard. He immediately raised his hand and condensed an ice wall in front of him. The light swords hit the wall and in an instant, the ice crystals shattered and exploded into fine powder. The Murong Lian used this as a buffer and dodged to the side. In the end, the light swords did not stab him and only scratched a hole in his robes …
The Murong Lian landed on the ground and stared at Gu Mang.
Gu Mang gasped for breath and tore off the chain that the Murong Lian was holding around his neck and threw it to the ground with a bang. Then, he raised his head and gulped. His hands were clenched into fists and strong spiritual energy continuously surged out from his feet. It actually forced the surrounding Xiao Xiu soldiers who did not have high spiritual energy to kneel on the spot and vomit blood!
"Not good! He's going to go berserk again! "The leading cultivator was shocked." Quickly stop him! "
"Set up the array! Accept the challenge, accept the challenge! "
However, the spiritual energy around Gu Mang was too strong. Not only could they not get close to him physically, even the incantations could not break through the light swords.
Seeing that Gu Mang was going to go berserk again, the Murong Lian condensed a talisman with blue light in his hand and threw it out. He shouted, "Water Ghosts, rise!"
A cold wind blew and more than ten water blue ghosts crawled out from the ground. They screamed and rushed towards Gu Mang's sword array. One of the water ghosts was sliced to pieces by the lightsaber, but another water ghost soon took its place. Although it was difficult, it was still able to gradually close in on Gu Mang.
The Murong Lian shouted, "Take him down!"
The water ghosts screamed and rushed towards Gu Mang with the wind and snow. Unexpectedly, Gu Mang only raised his hand and a ball of sword light burst out from his fingertips. In the blink of an eye, the ten ghosts were all cut into pieces!
Then, he suddenly raised his head and stared fiercely at the Murong Lian with his blue eyes. He walked over in large strides through the fine snow.
The Murong Lian was shocked and subconsciously took half a step back. He shouted, "What are you doing?!"
Gu Mang did not answer. However, the phantom of a lone wolf suddenly appeared behind him. It was as blue as lightning and fire, making him look extremely imposing.
Seeing this, Mo Xi shouted, "Murong Lian, retreat!"
The Murong Lian also wanted to retreat, but some kind of unknown evil energy nailed him to the ground, making him unable to move. Gu Mang was already slowly walking over from the snow. The Murong Lian looked at him and suddenly felt that Gu Mang was like a wolf king that was about to pounce. He was so fierce and cold that it made one's hair stand on end.
"… Gu Mang! … How dare you! What do you want to do? How dare you! "
Of course, Gu Mang "dared". He suddenly raised his hand and a cluster of fireballs lit up in his palm. He directly threw them towards the Murong Lian!
With a series of explosions, each fireball smashed a foot deep hole in the ground. In an instant, the floor was covered with broken bricks. The murong Lian had no choice but to fly into the air to avoid his attack.
The Murong Lian's expression became more and more sinister. His pale face, which was extremely sickly due to taking hallucinogens, actually turned red with anger. He stood in the air and gritted his teeth at Gu Mang, "You unrepentant bastard …"
No matter what he said, Gu Mang did not show any expression. He waved his hand and this time, five clusters of flames appeared on his five fingertips.
"I hit you just now because you stepped on my head."
"…"
"I'm hitting you now because I'm hungry."
The Murong Lian said in disbelief, "Because of what??"
"Because you won't let me eat." Gu Mang said firmly, "I'm. Hungry. Hungry! "
The flames suddenly rose. Gu Mang waved his hand and cast a spell. The Murong Lian's pupils suddenly shrank!
