As the king of the misty forest, Emperor Li has a lot of opportunities, and it is extremely difficult to spare a day to come. Moreover, the Queen had already released rumors of abdication at the end of the year half a month ago, so the Misty Forest is now turbulent, and all forces are extremely sensitive to Emperor Li's every move.

And Emperor Li came over this time under the guise of "inspecting the territory", and he couldn't stay for a long time. After the banquet for Mu Wan and others, in the afternoon of the same day, the queen left in a car, to go to the next territory and continue to "inspect".

Before leaving, she deliberately kept Mu Wan and others. However, the queen said, "This is the birthplace of Ah Bai." It is not easy for him to come back, please Mu Daoyou let him stay here for one more night. ”

Well, in her previous life, Mu Wan was used to this way of talking around the bend. She understood the intention of Emperor Li's move: first, Gu Bai suffered in Taiyizong, as a mother, she felt sorry for her son, and she really wanted to keep her son for one more night; Second, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at the outside of the valley. After the queen left, they stayed for one night and then quietly left, so that they could not show their tracks and save a lot of trouble.

It can be seen that Emperor Li, as the king of the misty forest, has many constraints. In order to protect her only young son, she can't really do what she wants.

After Emperor Li left, Xiangxiang couldn't help but gossip and asked Gu Bai: "Ah Bai, why don't you see your father?" ”

Mu Wan was also curious. Taking the small world of the West as an example, it is also based on women, but, according to the system, Phoenix also has a huge harem: one Zhengjun, three side kings, six waiters, and no quota of waiters. Among them, Zhengjun is equivalent to the queen in a patriarchal society; The side monarch and the chamberlain also correspond to the concubines; The waiter is equivalent to the existence of "beauty" or something.

Take this as an example. Emperor Li lived for more than 9,000 years, and he should have countless harems. However, this time, there was no existence similar to a harem by Emperor Li's side from beginning to end.

Gu Bai replied truthfully: "I have never met my father either. I heard from my mother, I am very weak in my mother's womb. According to the tradition of the Silver Fox clan, my father passed on all the essence of his bloodline to me who was still in my mother's womb, and consolidated the foundation for me. Because of this, my father did not survive the catastrophe of 10,000 years, and died before I was born. ”

Listening to the meaning of this, his father is also a 10,000-year-old fox...... Xiangxiang praised: "No wonder your blood is so pure. ”

Gu Bai nodded: "Hmm." My father is from the Silver Fox royal family and is a pure Silver Fox. It's the same as my Phantom Spirit Fox. The silver fox clan is also a spirit fox clan in ancient times. ”

"Oh. It turns out that your hair originated from the Silver Fox family! Xiangxiang nodded, "I said, the Phantom Spirit Fox clan rarely has a pure white coat color. ”

"Yes. I completely inherited my father's hair color. ”

Mu Wan listened to the two of them talking, as if they were talking. Your nails are so pretty. How is it dyed? Oh. I mashed the impatiens into juice and dyed them three times." I was surprised in my heart: if it was a human race, when it came to the deceased father who had paid so much for him, although it would not be painful for everyone, at least he had to look dignified...... Sure enough, the feelings of the demon race and the human race are not the same.

Stayed in the Songshupo Palace for another night, and the next day, before dawn, Mu Wan and his party said goodbye to the safflower housekeeper and quietly left the misty forest.

Walking out of the misty forest, Mu Wan smiled and said, "Anyway, it's not in a hurry, let's travel along the way." "The main thing is that Gu Bai is too guilty. She really couldn't stand it.

Gu Bai took out a small bright yellow sachet from his arms and said, "Oh, the mother knows and gives me a Dingfeng Pearl." So, Sister Mu, I won't faint anymore. ”

Xiangxiang's eyes rolled: "Ah Bai, did you tell your mother emperor everything?" ”

Gu Bai shook his head: "I'm afraid that the mother emperor will worry, I haven't said a lot of things." However, the Mother Emperor reigned for thousands of years. In the Misty Forest, as long as the mother queen wants to know, she can never hide it from the mother queen. ”

In fact, if it weren't for seeing Xiangxiang and Mu Wan, who were sincere to Gu Baihao, how could Emperor Li personally issue an order to ask the safflower butler to entertain them as a guest?

Mu Wan's heart moved, and asked, "Did you tell Emperor Li about the small world of the West?" ”

"Got it." Gu Bai nodded, "The mother emperor also praised me." By the way, Sister Mu, the Mother Emperor asked me to tell you that repairing the root of the West Earth Spirit is for the benefit of the entire Yanhua Realm. We in the Misty Forest are duty-bound. If you want to use the demon clan, the sect can only send someone to negotiate with the mother emperor, and you don't need to be polite. ”

Emperor Li is worthy of being a 10,000-year-old fox...... Mu Wan smiled and rubbed his head: "Got it!" "She will definitely report Emperor Li's statement to the sect.

It was still dark night that turned into a small whirlwind, taking them back to Taiyi Sect.

With the wind bead in his arms, it's just different. Gu Bai, like everyone else, sat cross-legged on the small platform, looking calm, although he was still next to Mu Wan, he no longer secretly clutched one of her robe sleeves.

At noon, their group returned to Guanyunling.

Qingyuan Zhenren also came back from outside in a hurry. Seeing them, she said quickly: "Xiaowan, I have something to tell you for the teacher, and I will go into the cave with the teacher to talk in detail." ”

"Yes." Mu Wan followed her and entered the cave together. The rest of the people looked at each other and dispersed.

Qingyuan Zhenren took Mu Wan to the practice room, and after sitting down, he immediately said, "Xiaowan, stretch out your hand and take the pulse for the teacher." ”

Mu Wan sat down beside her, rolled up her sleeves, and asked, "Master, what's wrong?" ”

Qingyuan Zhenren said: "In the morning, Senior Brother Wang summoned him as a teacher and said that recently, young female cultivators have disappeared outside one after another. According to investigation, these female cultivators are all qualified above Shan Linggen, and they are twenty-four or five years old. Senior Brother Wang was very worried about you, so he specially summoned him as a teacher and instructed him again and again. Well, as a teacher, I want to take a closer look at it for you, whether the increase in bone age really affects the age. ”

It turns out that what Huang Changshun said is true! Mu Wan handed over her right hand as she said.

Qingyuan Zhenren seriously probed the pulse, and after half an hour, he ordered her to change her hand. After a long while, he finally took a long breath and said with a relaxed expression, "It's okay." Judging by the pulse, you are also thirty-four or five years old now. "Uh, before. She also felt sorry for the little apprentice, who was ten years old. It's only been a little over a month, and she's glad about it again. Although Taiyizong has never been afraid of those young people who hide their heads and cover their faces, but, as the old saying goes, 'If you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves', the current situation of the little apprentice is very good!

Sure enough, things are impermanent. Blessings and misfortunes depend on each other. A certain master sighed with emotion. Immediately took out the Zishi and clarified to Wang Shouzuo: "Senior brother, Xiaowan went to the small realm of the West Land, and he is already thirty-five years old this year. Don't mistake her age. ”

In Zishi's image. The king's eyes widened. It took a long time to come back to his senses. "Oh oh" shouted several times, and kept nodding: "Yes, yes." ”

Qingyuan real people cut off contact. smiled at Mu Wan and said, "It's okay." ”

Mu Wan remembered an old incident, frowned and said, "Master, do you remember that a few years ago, Chen Bandemon and his gang also secretly collected information on female cultivators in their early twenties with good qualifications in the sect?" They've been in my room. ”

Qingyuan Zhenren took a breath and said with a solemn expression: "Calculate, I was in my early twenties at that time, and this year it happens to be twenty-four or five!" She looked at Mu Wan in amazement, "Obviously, the goal is the same twice!" Could it be that this time it is the old demon of the Chen family who is making trouble? ”

Where does Mu Wan know? She shook her head honestly: "The disciple doesn't know. ”

Qingyuan Zhenren groaned slightly, and muttered to himself: "No, I still have to go to the main hall and talk to Senior Brother Wang." ”

Mu Wan hurriedly said, "Master, I have something important to report. ”

Qingyuan Zhen raised his eyebrows: "What's the matter?" Intuition told her that the little apprentice had made a new discovery on this trip......

"This time I went to the Misty Forest and found the exact location of the Root of the Southern Spirit." Mu Wan's 1510 position and Emperor Li's statement through the mouth of Gu Bai.

It seems that this matter is more important! It really needs to go to the main hall again immediately. Qingyuan Zhenren got up: "Okay, for the teacher, I will go to the main hall again." After a pause, she patted Mu Wan's shoulder and sighed, "Xiaowan, Yu is public and private, you should indeed go out to travel more." ”

"Yes." Mu Wan responded.

In the evening, Qingyuan Zhenren came back and immediately summoned Mu Wan.

"Xiao Wan, the matter of the root of the spirit of the southern land, the ancestor already knows. Now, the sect is making every effort to open up the root of the West Earth Spirit, and there is no power of my sect on the other side of the misty forest. Therefore, the ancestor meant not to make a public statement for the time being. However, after three days, the ancestor will return to the sect, and at that time, you will accompany the ancestor to the misty forest and meet Emperor Li first. What Senior Brother Wang meant was that he wanted us to discuss with Gu Bai first, whether we could let him have a letter with Emperor Li first. What do you think? ”

Mu Wan nodded: "Uncle Wang is very prudent, and it is worth learning from his disciples." ”

Qingyuan Zhenren smiled: "In this case, you can discuss it with Gu Bai." Then she went on to talk about the disappearance of the young nun . Wang Shouzuo also felt that Mu Wan's suspicions were very reasonable, and went to look through the interrogation archives of the year with Qingyuan Zhenren. The more the two looked at it, the more they felt that someone was looking for someone in Donghuazhou, and the target was born in the same year as Mu Wan, and she was a female cultivator with qualifications above Shan Linggen.

"Could it be that the person they are looking for is Mu Wan?" Thinking of the ancestors' evaluation of Mu Wan, Wang Shouzuo muttered in his heart, and also reported the matter to the Guangyuan ancestors.

The latter's reply was crisp: "No, it's better; Yes and must not. ”

Wang Shouzuo immediately came over and pleaded with the ancestor: "The disciple remembered Mu Wan's age wrongly, but fortunately she didn't hurt her. In the future, the disciples will have a better memory and will not make similar mistakes again. ”

Old Ancestor chuckled: "It's none of your business, don't pull it on yourself." There is also a real person on the Patriarch Peak. ”

The king's first seat understood, came out of the back room, conveyed the ancestor's decree, and at the end, said: "The ancestor's meaning, since Xiaowan's age does not match, then don't guess." Brother in charge of this matter will definitely pay attention to it, so we don't have to worry about it. ”

Qingyuan Zhenren understood, and got up and said goodbye with satisfaction. Returning to Guanyunling, he summoned Mu Wan as soon as possible to convey the instructions of the ancestor.

Since the ancestor himself spoke, and the first real person also made a request, Mu Wan must act immediately. After leaving the cave, she went straight to the tea garden and consulted with Gu Bai.

The latter is an insider, and the matter of the root of the earth spirit can be told to him straight to the point.

When Gu Bai heard this, he exclaimed: "Such a coincidence? Well, I'm sure I'm going to tell the Queen right away. Ah, I have to ask Brother Dark to accompany me back to the pine slope overnight. Once there, I was able to contact the Mother. ”

There is urgency. It was too late to apply for a pass talisman, and Qing Yuan Zhenren personally sent Hei Ye and Gu Bai through the mountain protection array - as the mountain master of the inner gate, she had a special pass talisman, and there was no need to apply for an additional pass.

In the evening of the next day, the night and the ancient wind came back. The latter brought a message from Emperor Li: Lord Daojun is here in person, and I will sweep the couch on the pine slope to greet him.
