Hearing that, Qingyang turned around with a complicated expression on his wrinkled face. No one knew what he was thinking, but he asked curiously, "Elder Xiao, is there anything that you need to tell me? "Just say it."

Xiao Mu Chen's wizened hands rubbed against each other as he looked around with a calm expression. He then walked to the side of Qing Yang and whispered, "This is not a good place to talk."

Qingyang looked up and down at Xiao Mu Chen. Seeing that he really had something to say to him, Qingyang nodded his head: "Elder Xiao, please come with me."

The two of them returned to the stone room where Qingyang was concocting pills after a short while in silence. After the two of them sat down on two stone chairs, Qingyang set up a soundproofing array and said with a smile, "There's no one here. Elder Xiao, please speak."

Even with Xiao Mu Chen's straightforward personality, he was clearly a little awkward and awkward. He held it in for a long while before suddenly raising his head and staring at Qing Yang. However, he did not say anything.

"Elder Xiao, why are you staring at me like that?" If you have something to say, just say it. " Qingyang felt that the strange old man's current appearance was somewhat funny as he spoke faintly when he was stared at by Xiao Mu Chen.

"I, I ?" Hearing Qingyang say this, Xiao Mu Chen's old face showed that he couldn't take it anymore. He held it in for a long time before he finally said, "I want to follow you in the future."

Qingyang was also stunned by Xiao Mu Chen's words. What did he mean by following him? However, there were almost no experts of his height, and other than Qing Yangming, there seemed to be no one who was close to him.

The Shangguan family couldn't help him out in the open, so if they wanted to fight with the Southern Rong Royal Family, they would need a large number of experts. Especially a Sun God like Xiao Mu Chen, who was hard to come by.

However, Qingyang didn't wish to have an unstable element at his side. No matter how powerful he was, he had to at least understand why Xiao Mu Chen was willing to follow him and give up Nalan Rong.

After coughing twice, Xiao Mu Chen relaxed a little. However, when he saw that Qing Yang did not make a sound but was instead staring at him with a strange expression, Xiao Mu Chen hurriedly said: "I just feel that you will be extraordinary in the future and will fight with me."

Qing Yang raised his eyebrows and sized up Xiao Mu Chen. After a moment, he asked curiously, "You are an official of Nanxiong. How could you follow me in the future?"

"So it's this strange?" After letting out a long sigh, Xiao Mu Chen smiled and said, "It's fine if we don't have this kind of idle job, right?"

Qingyang was even more puzzled when he heard this. Xiao Mu Chen didn't seem to care about this idle job, but why was he doing it? To Azure Sun, people like him should be those kind of carefree and unrestrained people who didn't like to be restrained.

"Elder Xiao, I have something that I don't understand. I don't know if I can teach you." After pondering for a moment, Qingyang spoke up.

"Go ahead." When Xiao Mu Chen saw that Qingyang did not reject him, he said this out loud.

"From my point of view, Elder Xiao should be a person who does not like to be restrained or at ease. Why would he become an official in Nangrong?" Nodding his head, Qingyang asked doubtfully.

"Dozens of years ago, I accepted a favor from South Rongmu. That's why I agreed to let him stay in South Rong and take a casual job." Xiao Mu Chen explained in a simple manner.

"Since you know that Zhou Yan and the rest are traitors of Nan Rong, and that I am helping him like this, I must be someone who cannot be separated from the Nan Rong Royal Family." Qing Yang said softly as he shot an indifferent glance at Xiao Mu Chen.

"What does the Nan Rong Royal Family have to do with me? I am willing to serve in Nanxiong because I am old friends with the previous monarch, Nanxiong Mu. This has nothing to do with whether you are an enemy or friend to the Nanxiong royal family. " Xiao Mu Chen naturally understood Qingyang's concerns and explained.

"Oh? I wonder if Elder Xiao can tell me why you agreed to come to South Rongmu's request? " A light flashed across Qingyang's eyes as he asked.

"This, this ?" Xiao Mu Chen didn't expect Qingyang to ask such a question and didn't know what to say.

"To be honest, Elder Xiao's strength is indeed tyrannical, but if you follow me, I'm afraid that most of your enemies will be members of the South Rong Royal Family. Wouldn't this be a violation of the agreement between you and South Rongmu?" Qingyang said indifferently as he stood up and looked at Xiao Mu Chen.

The meaning of Qingyang's words were very obvious. If you want to talk to me, you can, but you have to at least show some sincerity, right? If I know that you, Xiao Mu Chen, are sincere in following me and don't have any ulterior motives, then we can face each other as friends. If we can't give our backing to someone trustworthy, then this friend of yours might as well not be one.

"I'm only in charge of protecting the third prince in secret." After he was at a loss for a while, Xiao Chen finally let out a sigh of relief. However, he exhorted, "However, this matter cannot be spread out."

Qingyang was surprised to hear this. So this Xiao Mu Chen was here to protect the third prince. It seemed that Nan Rong Mu already knew that there would be someone who would harm Nan Ronglei. Ji Zhen alone wouldn't be able to deal with that.

The effect of secretly inserting a Sun God Stage expert to protect Nan Ronglei was indeed much better than Ji Zhen's constant protection. Not to mention that Ji Zhen had yet to reach the Sun God Stage three years ago.

"You're from South Ronglei?" Qing Yang looked at Xiao Mu Chen with a faint smile and sat back down.

"What is it? It can't be that you don't believe me, right? " Pouting his lips, Xiao Mu Chen said: "Humph, if it wasn't for the change in position of the current Emperor of the Southern Rong Country, would I have come to this broken down place to guard the pass? "If not for my guidance, how could that old fart Ji Zhen have reached the Sun God Realm so quickly?"

Yes." Qingyang nodded. Within three years, his cultivation had advanced greatly, and it seemed that it was also due to Xiao Mu Chen secretly giving him guidance. Based on his interactions with this old man, even though Xiao Mu Chen was a bit eccentric and violent, he was definitely not a schemer. What he said should not be a lie, not to mention, he knew who both Ji Zhen and Nan Rong were.

"In that case, we really are the same type of people." With a hearty laugh, Qingyang tapped the stone table with his five fingers and said lightly: "Elder Xiao, you may not know that I am on the same boat as Brother Lei."

It was Xiao Mu Chen's turn to be stunned. The meaning behind Qingyang's words could not be any clearer. What did the people on this ship mean? If Xiao Mu Chen really was the same person as Nan Rong Lei, then he also understood that this ship represented the overturning of the Nan Rong Royal Family.

"You, you brat, you know Lei'er's plan?" After pondering for a moment, Xiao Mu Chen slowly opened his mouth. From the looks of it, he was testing Qing Yang.

This feeling was truly difficult to bear. The two of them didn't completely trust each other, so they could only speak up. After all, this was a plan that involved the destruction of their entire clan.

"Elder Xiao, speak frankly. I believe you can see that the reason why I helped leader Nan Rong and his remaining men was to help brother Lei overturn the royal family. As for why I'm doing this, there's no need to ask." Qing Yang was a bit impatient and decided to speak frankly. However, when he finished speaking, a wave of killing intent spread out from his body, causing Xiao Mu Chen to shiver.

Qingyang had already spoken, and the hatred and killing intent emitted from his body was indeed not something that could be faked. After hearing what Qingyang had said to help Zhou Yan and the rest in the past few days, Xiao Mu Chen pondered for a moment before nodding his head: "So that's how it is. It seems that you're not lying."

After a pause, a vicious look flashed across Xiao Mu Chen's eyes as he suddenly said in a cold voice: "We still need to plan for a long time to subvert the Emperor of Nan Rong. What I need to do now is to find out who poisoned Nan Rong Mu."
