"Yun Mo." Jiang Wuyan tapped the handle of the Lancet against her palm thoughtfully, "How much do you know about young master Ren?"
Zhao Qingyan froze for a moment. After a moment he shook his head. "Not much. I've only heard a few things from Weeping Lu and Tang Xiao. Qingfeng and my teacher have never talked about him before."
Jiang Wuyan responded with a "True" and stopped asking questions.
Zhao Baiyi was curious, "Who is young master Ren? How come I've never heard of this person? "
Zhao Qingyan was stunned for a while before replying, "Ren gongzi is Mo Huaijin. Maybe Ren gongzi's reputation isn't that big, but we are used to calling him that."
Zhao Baiyi frowned, "Mo Huaijin? I wanted to ask you just now, is the Mo Huaijin you were talking about the father of Weeping Lu and Tears of Blood? "
Zhao Qingyan looked at him blankly and nodded, "That's right."
Zhao Baiyi asked, "Isn't Mo Huaijin surnamed Mo? Why was his surname Ren again? Lu Sobbing's surname was Lu, and Xue Yi didn't know his surname … It's a bit messy. "
Zhao Qingyan played with the crown in his hand and asked, "Why is Second Brother suddenly interested in them?"
Zhao Baiyi said, "I'm not interested either..." "I just feel that it has something to do with Teacher Xu. I should just be a little worried about him."
Zhao Qingyan looked down at his silver crown with an indifferent expression, "Second Brother wants to know? "Then let me just go over the details?"
Zhao Baiyi nodded, "Go ahead."
Zhao Qingyan raised his head and looked at the night sky with an indifferent expression, "Mo Huaijin's surname was originally Ren, and his father was the Palace Mistress of Ming Palace at that time. His father had died, and he had been taken in as an adopted son by the Palace Master. Although she said that she was an adopted son, the Palace Mistress of Dark Palace treated him as her own son, and later betrothed her only daughter to him. Mo Huaijin's adoptive father's name was Mo Li, and before he adopted Mo Huaijin, he had four disciples. Qin Luo, Lu Chuhan, Yun Kai, Yang Shaoen. Among them, the youngest Yang Shaoen was three years older than Mo Huaijin, and the oldest Qin Luo was a whole ten years older than Mo Huaijin. His disciple and son held a different value in Mo Li's heart. Naturally, Mo Liu took good care of Mo Huaijin. "Mo Huaijin was naturally talented, and with Mo Li's personal tutelage, his ability to make puppets caught up to Lu Chuhan, who was known as' the best puppeteer in the Puppet Palace 'back then."
Jiang Wuyan added: "This Lu Chuhan is really talented, being able to produce new mechanical blueprints on his own at the age of 16, and the few sets of blueprints he produced are not weak at all. Twenty to thirty percent of all the traps in the main road of the Puppet Palace that led down to the Black Turtle Palace were created by Lu Chu Han. Although he might not be as good as Mo Huaijin in terms of small and movable traps, but when it comes to large-scale defensive mechanisms, he is second to none in the entire martial arts world. "
Zhao Baiyi asked, "So you're saying that the two of them are experts at different things? "Then how did they compare themselves?"
Zhao Qingyan said, "The reason why the Puppet Palace is called the Puppet Palace is because of their incredible puppet arts. Of course, this' puppet 'does not refer to the puppets of the artists in the martial arts world, but rather the small sized mechanical puppets, or even the mechanical beasts. "
Jiang Wuyan said: "Inner force skills, concealed weapons, poison, and even large-scale hidden weapons are all taught directly to the direct disciples in the Puppet Palace. However, the most essential puppets could only be learned by the next generation's Puppet Palace Mistress — of course, the successive generations of Palace Masters were all Mo and Ren, and were equivalent to having bloodlines passed down from generation to generation. His disciple was a different surname and his child was his surname, so Mo Huaijin could learn puppet techniques, but Lu Chuhan could not. "His foster son and disciple showed great preference towards Mo Li, which should be the main reason why Lu Chuhan was dissatisfied."
Zhao Baiyi understood and nodded, indicating for him to continue.
Zhao Qingyan did not continue the topic. Instead, he asked about something else. "Second Brother, do you know of a woman called Mo Lirou?"
Zhao Baiyi thought for a moment, then shook his head. "It's a bit familiar, but I can't remember."
Zhao Qingyan said with a smile, "She is Mo Li's only daughter, the wife of Mo Huaijin. Mo Huaijin married her at the age of 15, and the 18-year-old Mo Lirou was already quite famous in the martial arts world. Were it not for Tang Xiao's words, he'd probably have met her before. "
Zhao Baiyi's gaze wavered for a moment, then he suddenly exclaimed, "Oh! "I remember. The woman who came to look for me that year?"
Zhao Qingyan nodded. Before she could continue, Jiang Wuyan suddenly asked with a smile, "Is it beautiful?"
Zhao Baiyi didn't understand what he was asking himself. "What's so good about it?"
Jiang Wuyan said, "She is one of the top three girls on the list of young talents in the sect back then. If you look at her now, she should be no more than twenty years old, right?"
Zhao Qingyan and Zhao Baiyi glanced at each other and found it funny, "I never knew that you would be interested in the beauty of another woman."
Jiang Wuyan shrugged her shoulders. There was a trace of loneliness in her eyes as she replied, "No, I'm just curious." "After all …" Smiling faintly, he didn't continue speaking.
He seemed to want to say something, but gave up. He then continued with his previous topic, "Four years after the marriage, Mo Lirou gave birth to two boys for him. These two boys were Luru and Tears of Blood. According to Mo Li's orders, the eldest son's surname was Mo Huaijin, his father's surname was' Ren ', and the second son's surname was' Mo '. In the future, Mo Li would hand over the position of Palace Head to Mo Huaijin, and Mo Huaijin would pass it on to his second son. The eldest son would inherit the position of the next Palace Master. However, this arrangement angered Lu Chuhan, who had the same talent as Mo Huaijin. This was because Mo Li had promised to inherit the position of Palace Head, and his second disciple became the head of the Ming Palace. Qin Luo was willing to give up the seat that should have been his, but Lu Yuhan was unwilling. How could he be willing to see the positions of the two Palace Masters fall into the hands of Mo Huaijin? "
Zhao Qingyan casually placed his crown aside and leaned back in his chair. "This led to the subsequent three gentlemen meeting, internal strife in the Puppet Palace, and the reappearance of Zhu Yan." As he said this, he stopped.
Zhao Baiyi was just about to say something when he saw that Zhao Qingyan had stopped. He immediately said, "Hurry up and say it!"
Zhao Qingyan spoke again, "Although Lu Chuhan is the second disciple, he is only a few months older than Yang Shaoen. At that time, he was also young and arrogant. Therefore, Lu Chu Han proposed a competition to Mo Huaijin: the two of them would head to the martial arts world alone. No matter what methods they used, a year later, they would go to the martial arts gathering's arena with a blueprint to signal the heroes of the martial arts world to determine the victor. Mo Li admired these two disciples the most, but these two disciples were too arrogant, too arrogant, and too taciturn. Both of them needed to be tempered. The Puppet Palace is extremely powerful, and they are both righteous and evil. Naturally, they don't have to worry about their disciples going out to snatch the blueprint, which would offend the martial arts world.
His voice didn't fluctuate at all. Compared to Han Yan and Jiang Wuyan's narration, he sounded like he was reciting something. However, Jiang Wuyan and Zhao Baiyi were used to his tone. The story told by Zhao Qingyan was not boring, so it did not have much effect.
Zhao Qingyan thought back to the regret in Tang Xiao's eyes and sighed. "It was during this year of travelling that Mo Huaijin got to know Tang Xiao." Tang Xiao was a disciple of the Tang Sect, and a fanatic of concealed weapons. During his years at Miao Jiang, he had not only learned a set of poison arts, but he had also completely devoured the blueprints he had stolen from the Tang Sect, and he had also researched and developed a few techniques of his own. Tang Xiao was being chased down the mountain. Lying on a platform in the middle of a cliff, he was seriously injured. However, Mo Huaijin had his eyes on a clump of herbs at the edge of the cliff. He slipped and fell down, breaking his leg. "
"The two of them stayed on the stone platform, guarding against each other, eventually coming to a consensus, and then in order to pass the time and chat casually, they discovered that the other party was an outstanding organ master, so they started to chat. Mo Huaijin had been immersed in the blueprints since he was young, so he had no interest in anything else. Tang Xiao was like a lunatic again. He couldn't care less when it came to traps. Although Mo Huaijin's leg was broken, it did not stop him from throwing the concealed weapon. The two of them had survived the eleven days on the stone platform by relying on Mo Huaijin's chain to lock up the nearby birds. Tang Xiao, who had recovered, carried Mo Huaijin on his back as he climbed up the cliff. A friendship born of life and death was bound to be indomitable. Although they did not bother with this formality, in their hearts, they treated each other as close friends. "
"Tang Xiao has returned to the Central Plains and is homeless." Mo Huaijin needed both the mechanical blueprints and Tang Xiao's special appreciation. Hence, he told him about his bet with his senior brother, asking for his help and also asking for his help. Tang Xiao was quick to agree.
Zhao Baiyi couldn't help but exclaim, "I never thought Tang Xiao would have such a loyal personality."
Zhao Qingyan smiled. "Tang Xiao is a fool, so he's crazy. He's definitely going to commit heinous crimes."
Jiang Wuyan said: "The more evil a person is, the more true his temperament is. After all, the so-called righteous path only involves people who put on airs and do not mean what they say. There are not many true gentlemen here. "
Zhao Baiyi smiled in surprise. "Why does the Lord of Jiang Town speak of the righteous path of the martial arts world in such a terrible way?"
Zhao Qingyan teased him with a smile, "After all, Bewitching Butterfly Town is also an evil sect recognized by the martial arts world. Jiang Wuyan is definitely not a righteous man."
Jiang Wuyan replied with a helpless smile on her face, "I didn't slander the righteous path, I just thought that those so-called righteous sects are really annoying." A hypocrite is more repugnant than a true villain. "
Zhao Baiyi pretended to think. "Why does this phrase sound so familiar? I seem to hear a lot from someone. "
Zhao Qingyan rolled his eyes in annoyance, "I said it's true, do you need to use it often?"
Zhao Baiyi seemed to have realized something, "Ah! So it was you who said it, as expected. "
Zhao Qingyan would never believe that he did not do it on purpose. With a snort, he asked, "Do you want to continue listening?"
Zhao Baiyi quickly straightened his expression and nodded, "Listen. Go ahead."
Zhao Qing felt it was funny and decided to let him go. "There's still more than half a year until the Promise of a Year. They might as well stay in a secluded courtyard in the Puppet Palace and focus on studying the mechanical beasts. Currently, the five golem palaces, the five golem palaces, and the golem were created by the two of them. Accurately speaking, the Palace Masters of the Puppet Palace all had this thought. Black Turtle, White Tiger and Kirin had all been formed, and the remaining two only had their bodies, not their proper centers. In half a year, the two of them have created two brand-new mechanical beasts, the green dragon and the Vermillion Bird, and also improved the foundations of the other three mechanical beasts, increasing their power by a lot. "
Zhao Qingyan said, "Excluding the Puppet Palace, the Tang Clan is undoubtedly the strongest power family in the martial arts world. If it weren't for Tang Xiao, who brought out the Tang Sect's most sophisticated blueprint, Mo Huaijin might not have been able to produce this kind of mechanical beast in twenty years. The Tang Sect has only been established in the martial arts world for less than a hundred years.
Although Zhao Baiyi didn't understand why he was explaining about the Tang Sect in such detail, he didn't ask about it. Instead, he held his breath and waited for the next few words.
