After a long time, Mu Chen's voice sounded softly beside him, and his tone was flat, as if he was telling something that had nothing to do with him, "But in fact, I didn't rebel and usurp the throne." ”

Qing Ling cautiously peeked sideways, and saw Mu Chen staring at the enchantment that sealed the Red Soul Bead not far away, with a touch of tired melancholy in his expression, his inky black eyelashes drooping slightly, and a butterfly-shaped shadow was reflected next to the jade-like straight nose bridge.

The dazzling brilliance of the surrounding valley also became blurred, and there was an empty chaos all around, leaving only the man in white clothes and angry as Lan Zhi beside him.

Mu Chen felt Qing Ling's gaze, turned his head, and met her gaze.

"I believe in you!" Qing Ling blurted out.

The words came out of his mouth, and he was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly glanced over, "That, cough, are you worried that Ah Jing and they will come to you, so you deliberately hid in Gan Yuan?" (Oh my God, why do you use the word 'hide'?!) Or ...... Or did Master let you come? It must be Master, right? That's why he removed the obstacles and enchantments that had been set up here before......"

She looked around, "But there's nothing here...... How do you rest? ”

And, crucially, what do you eat? Although for the Protoss, not eating and drinking for a period of time is not a matter of life and death, but it will also affect energy after a long time.

Mu Chen was silent for a while, and smiled indifferently, "Life and death hang by a thread, why do you have to worry about food and accommodation?" ”

Qing Ling was puzzled, "Life and death hang by a thread? Don't...... Did Mu Han know your whereabouts and want to kill you? ”

If it weren't for hearing the conversation between Sister Jing and Brother Jing tonight, Qing Ling would probably find it hard to believe the scenes of brothers fighting and father and son killing each other in the play. But now it seems that what Xiao Qi said is right, power is indeed the most erosive! And those who were born in the royal family were born at the center of the power struggle.

Mu Chen was also slightly surprised.

He had thought that Mo Qian had revealed his identity to Qing Ling, but at the moment, she seemed to know very little about her situation......

"Now, I'm afraid I don't have the qualifications to let Mu Han make a move."

Mu Chen said slowly: "I have been punished by the Heavenly Thunder, and I have less than three years to live. In addition, Chongwu's aura was too victorious, and my physical constitution was damaged after being tortured, and after living here for several months, my body was on the verge of exhaustion, and I could die at any time. ”

Qing Ling's mind exploded, his mouth opened wide in shock, and then he closed it again, and it took a long time before he stammered: "Then, then since this is the case, why do you still live in Chongwu?" Also, still running into this sweet abyss? Did you know that this is the place where Chongwu's aura is the most vigorous! ”

Could it be that he is the same as his own mind of running away from home, with the mentality of planting a broken jar to vent his anger, trying to make the punisher feel guilty?

She couldn't help but say angrily: "That Emperor Hao, why are you so cruel? Aren't you his own son? And you said that you did not rebel against usurpation! What is the difference between him doing this and killing you directly? ”

Mu Chen's face was calm and calm, as if even if death came in the next moment, he could face it calmly with such a noble and elegant attitude.

He was silent for a moment, and then said slowly, "Because he is the emperor, it must be so." The evidence of my rebellion was conclusive, and if I were in his position, I would have made the same choice. ”

Qing Ling's lips pursed for a moment, and he stopped talking.

Mu Chen continued: "Born in the royal family, I have to bear a lot of last resort. Perhaps, I should accept the fate that my father arranged for me, exile to the Western Continent, and die incognito and silently in a foreign land. But in the end, I still can't let go of ......"

A shallow arc rippled across his lips, with a hint of self-deprecation, and then disappeared like a ripple in an instant.

"When I was young, I used to worship Ling Huan Shangjun of Fuyu Mountain as a teacher and learn formations and martial arts. The spiritual power cultivation of my fire system is not weak, and now although the divine power has been abolished, the foundation is still there. Master told me that Chongwu's Red Soul Bead contains extremely powerful ancient divine powers, and it is from the same source as the fire spirit, so it may be able to save my life. Master was once gracious to the Holy Monarch of Moqian, so he asked me for the opportunity to come here, waiting for the release of the divine power of the Red Soul Bead once in a thousand years. ”

Mu Chen raised his eyes and looked at Qing Ling, "I promised the Venerable Master that he only needs to allow me to enter the Misty Valley Ganyuan, and I will figure out other things myself." If my presence here is unfortunate enough to be revealed, I will also confess the sin of trespassing and clear myself from any involvement with Chongwu. But even so, if someone is in trouble, I am afraid that it will still affect you to some extent. So the last time I saw you in the Pavilion, out of an abundance of caution, I had to tell Venerable Master......"

Qing Ling looked at Mu Chen in a daze, his thoughts surging together.

At this time, does he think that she still remembers his "betrayal"?

What about being grounded? What if you can't attend the Ganyuan Conference? What if the cultivation is not as good as the senior brothers? Even if you were slapped by Ah Jing last time, what can it be?

At this moment, all the unwillingness and resentment in the past seem as insignificant as dust!

She couldn't imagine what kind of state of mind she would have if she was in Mu Chen's position?

Insidious siblings, ruthless fathers, death that could come at any time......

yes, how terrible death is.

Silently, disappearing from this world, leaving nothing......

For some reason, her heart suddenly ached.

Mu Chen saw Qing Ling frowning and silent, thinking about her thoughts, "You don't have to worry too much. Chongwu's status in the Eastern Continent is extraordinary, and his father should not easily choose to fight with his master. What's more, now that I'm in the depths of the Gan Yuan, there's very little chance that people will know my whereabouts. ”

Qing Ling interrupted him, "What are you still worried about now!" Now that you know that the Red Soul Bead can save your life, the most important thing right now is to think of a way to make sure you can get it! ”

She adjusted her sitting posture, facing Mu Chen, with a serious expression, "The day after tomorrow is the day when the Red Soul Bead releases its spiritual power." At that time, the final winner of the Ganyuan Conference competition will also enter the Misty Valley Ganyuan to receive the divine power of the Red Soul Bead. Since that person is the winner of the competition, his cultivation will definitely not be bad. Are you sure you'll be able to beat him? ”

Mu Chen said: "If you compete in force, I will not be anyone's opponent now. In fact, I don't plan to obtain the divine power of the Red Soul Bead by robbing it by force, and make the matter known to everyone. ”

"So, what do you do?"

Mu Chen hesitated for a moment, smiled indifferently, and said as if it were true: "Maybe...... I'll try to convince him. ”

"Convince him?"

"Hmm. Convince him to give me the chance. ”

"How can you convince you? The divine power of the Red Soul Bead is something that many people dream of! I've heard Senior Brother say that it's almost equivalent to a hundred years of cultivation for a Protoss master. ”

Mu Chen stared at Qing Ling, "Do you want it too?" ”

Qing Ling said without hesitation: "Of course I want to! ”

"Why do you want to?"

"Hmm, do you need to ask? Of course, it's because you can improve your cultivation! ”

Qing Ling thought in reverie: "If my skills are stronger than all the senior brothers, I should have more face!" The third senior brother will no longer underestimate me, and the fifth senior brother will not dare to make fun of me again. Also, if someone bullies me, no matter how many people they are, I don't have to just run for my life! ”

She paused, realized her gaffe, and looked at Mu Chen with some embarrassment, "Do you think I'm ...... A bit competitive, right? Actually, I ...... I just ......"

The smile on Mu Chen's lips was very gentle, "You are just a simple little girl, you don't have any heart." ”

He looked away, his black eyelashes drooping slightly, and whispered, "That's good." ”

Qing Ling's face was slightly hot, but his heart was a little sour.

Little girl?

What...... In terms of seniority, is she Chongwu's senior sister?

Qing Ling sat up straight, his tone solemn and sincere, "If I really have a chance to get the divine power of the Red Soul Bead, I will definitely give it to you!" ”

Mu Chen raised his eyes when he heard this.

The two looked at each other, her eyes were as clear as water, but his eyes were deep and bottomless.
