Chapter 353
At this time, a white-bearded old man who called himself Kuzhu spoke: "Poor Dao Kuzhu, today Lin Daoyou came to my Heavenly Demon Sect, you and I have a fate, I don't know if I am willing to exchange wonderful methods."
Lin Mo saw that his cultivation was good, and he smiled back: "The old man of Kuzhu is serious, Lin is not talented, but I want to ask you for your attainments."
The two continued to discuss cultivation and pills, but Lin Mo did not deliberately show off, but was steady and calm, which gradually impressed everyone.
In the interaction with Kuzhu, Lin Mo showed a confident and friendly side. He and Kuzhu complimented each other, and the communication between them was full of a relaxed and happy atmosphere. Lin Mo's humility and sincerity left a positive impression on everyone's hearts.
After some conversation, Hu Qinglei proposed: "I'm afraid Lin Daoyou has just arrived and has not rested. Why don't we move into the temple, and we'll continue to talk."
Everyone agreed. A whisper quietly sounded in the main hall, all discussing Lin Mo's identity and origin.
"Senior Lin seems to be related to the Yin Luo Sect," a young man in a green robe asked tentatively.
"How do you say this" Hu Qinglei raised his eyebrows, "Yin Luo Sect has been in trouble recently, how can Lin Daoyou have anything to do with it"
When Lin Mo heard this, his expression remained unchanged, and he said indifferently: "The junior did have an encounter with the Yin Luo Sect, but I said this in detail face to face to avoid misunderstanding."
When everyone heard him say this, they all immediately became interested, and they all speculated about the relationship between him and the Yin Luo Sect......
Lin Mo maintained a calm and calm attitude in the face of everyone's curiosity. He calmly answered some questions while also guiding the conversation, showing his social acumen and intelligence. The reaction to him was mixed, with some expressing admiration and others remaining cautious.
Hu Qinglei's topic caused some monks to ask questions about Lin Mo, and some asked about his relationship with the Yin Luo Sect. Lin Mo took a deep breath: "I did have a grudge with the Yin Luo Sect in Xia. ”
Lin Mo opened his mouth indifferently and calmly admitted that he had killed the sect master of the Yin Luo Sect.
This news was like still water thrown into stone, and it immediately caused an uproar.
"What!" "Lin Daoyou personally killed the Yin Luo Sect Master" Everyone was in an uproar.
"Although what Your Excellency did was reasonable, it was against the rules of my generation after all." An old man frowned.
"You're serious." Lin Mo said with a smile, "I don't have any other intentions to understand the old grievances." ”
Everyone's eyes focused on Lin Mo, and for a while, they set off earth-shaking changes. Some were shocked, some couldn't believe it, and some were in awe.
Although everyone was surprised, they could also understand Lin Mo's actions. Lin Mo's calm and calm attitude left a deep impression on him in the minds of everyone.
"Since Lin Daoyou has killed the Yin Luo Sect Master, he must have mastered the mystery." A young monk tentatively asked, "Can you tell us about what happened?"
Lin Mo did not shy away from describing the whole process and was honest about his actions.
Although everyone was surprised, they couldn't help but look at Lin Mo with admiration - not only was he profound, but he was also calm, not at all like the fierce gods and evil rumors in the outside world.
"Lin Daoyou is well-informed, and he must know the sect secrets of the Yin Luo Sect well." A middle-aged man said with a smile, "I wish Lin Daoyou would give me advice and open my eyes." ”
Lin Mo calmly responded to all kinds of inquiries, and gradually made people change from shock to thought, recognizing his strength and personality......
At this time, the three top maids slowly walked into the main hall. They are all beautiful and exquisite, and they are really beautiful and fragrant.
When the three stunning nuns entered the main hall, everyone was overwhelmed. Each of them has outstanding appearances and is amazing, as if they are fairies who have come out of a painting. They walked gracefully, each step eliciting a wave of amazement and noise. The atmosphere in the main hall became alive again with their presence.
The monks presented the three beautiful maidens with carefully prepared gifts to show their respect and courtesy. These ladies are graceful and outstanding, shining in the spotlight of the banquet like elves.
Lin Mo also took out a few pills from the storage bag and indifferently put them into the gift plate. Although it is not as extravagant as others, it is enough to show politeness and thoughtfulness.
He was well aware of his place in this banquet, and at the same time wanted to show his sincerity through this gift. The aura of the elixir spread, attracting the attention of some monks, and they couldn't help but become more curious about Lin Mo's strength.
"Thank you for your generous gifts!" The three maids thanked each other in unison, their faces beaming with joy.
Lin Mo smiled indifferently, and stopped talking after a few polite words. When the people saw that he was measured, they also looked at him differently.
For a while, the ceremony plate was full of all kinds of rare treasures and medicinal materials, where there was still a little shabby, full of lively and festive.
The atmosphere became more lively, and people began to communicate and exchange gifts, creating a celebratory atmosphere. At this festive time, the hall is filled with strong emotions and warmth.
"The three sisters of Ziling, Zhaoyang, and Cuihua are radiant!" All the male cultivators laughed and complimented.
Lin Mo couldn't help but look at it twice, and secretly sighed in his heart. But when his gaze fell on Zi Ling, he couldn't help but froze.
The appearance of the purple spirit made Lin Mo's face change slightly, and his mood seemed to be affected. And the moment Zi Ling saw Lin Mo, his eyes also lit up with excitement. Her pupils shrank suddenly, and she whispered his name: "Lin Mo......"
The two looked at each other, and everyone present saw some clues and cast curious glances. In particular, Zi Ling's demeanor and expression aroused everyone's curiosity.
"How can it be...... How could it be you" Lin Mo's face changed suddenly, in disbelief.
The hall was so quiet for a moment that you could hear the sound of pins falling to the ground. Everyone was full of doubts and speculations about the special relationship between Lin Mo and Zi Ling, and the discussion came and went. The old man's face also became gloomy, and he seemed to notice something unusual happening.
This sudden event made the atmosphere of the main hall tense again, in stark contrast to the previous celebrations. Everyone's eyes met, and everyone began to secretly guess what would happen next
Zi Ling's gaze kept following Lin Mo, his eyes full of excitement and eagerness.
Lin Mo felt Zi Ling's gaze, and some complicated emotions inevitably arose in his heart. He tried to remain calm, but under Zi Ling's gaze, the ripples in his heart could not be concealed.
The old man's eyes wandered between the two, trying to probe their relationship. The atmosphere in the main hall froze, and everyone was waiting for the next development, full of curiosity about the story of Lin Mo and Zi Ling.
"Zi Ling, you know Lin Daoyou," Hu Qinglei asked curiously.
"Lin Daoyou was a former benefactor, and Zi Ling will never forget his kindness." Zi Ling hid his heart and smiled reluctantly.
When everyone saw this, they were all puzzled and surprised. Lin Mo's face was also very strange, as if he was hiding some of his past.
Lin Mo and Zi Ling's gaze instantly made the atmosphere of the whole scene strange.
Everyone was surprised that there seemed to be some unspeakable past between the two men.
The tension in the main hall seemed to be at its peak, and this unusual situation was particularly abrupt in the previous festive atmosphere. Everyone's eyes met, as if they could hear each other's heartbeats.
"I don't know what the relationship between Lin Daoyou and Sister Zi Ling is, can you say something to solve our doubts," a young monk asked tentatively.
Lin Mo's brows furrowed slightly, he felt everyone's attention, but he remained calm. His feelings and entanglements with Zi Ling were not willing to be exposed in front of everyone, but at this moment, he felt as if he had been pushed to the forefront.
"This matter has passed in the past, so there is no need to mention it again." Lin Mo said lightly.
Zi Ling lowered his head, hiding the ups and downs of his heart. The story between her and Lin Mo seems to be unpredictable, and it also makes the atmosphere of the whole scene solemn.
The atmosphere in the main hall seemed to be still, and everyone's eyes shuttled back and forth between Lin Mo and Zi Ling.
I haven't seen him for many years, Lin Mo is no longer the immature scholar he was back then, but a mature man full of manliness. Zi Ling's heart was full of mixed feelings, both surprised and delighted, and a little lost.
Hu Qinglei looked at Zi Ling with a smile, got up at the right time, raised the wine glass in his hand high, and opened the conversation to Lin Mo and everyone: "Today, our Demon Palace rarely welcomes a distinguished guest, this is Zi Ling, the concubine of my Demon Palace, everyone is fortunate to see her face. ”
The atmosphere in the hall became even more tense under Hu Qinglei's words, and everyone was talking one after another, their eyes met, trying to find clues from each other's eyes. Especially those who knew the relationship between Hu Qinglei and Zi Ling, there was a hint of playfulness and curiosity in their eyes.
Lin Mo maintained a calm expression on the side, he seemed to have expected such a situation. He sensed Zi Ling's emotional turmoil, but he didn't reveal much, just smiled slightly, waiting for the next development.
Hu Qinglei looked at the two of them and sneered: "Hmph, it turns out that you know each other." In this case, then Zi Ling, you can toast Lin Mo with a glass of wine, which can be regarded as a settlement between you. “
Zi Ling took the wine glass, his hand trembling slightly. The atmosphere in the main hall heated up sharply the moment Zi Ling took the wine glass, and the eyes of the monks were firmly fixed on her. It was as if the whole scene had come to a standstill, leaving only the glass of wine swaying in the air.
Zi Ling raised her wine glass, her eyes flickered slightly, her lips trembled slightly, and she felt the gaze of countless eyes, which made her feel extremely complicated.
She knew that she couldn't appear overly excited at this critical moment, but her inner turmoil made it difficult for her to stay calm.
Her eyes stayed on Lin Mo for a moment, and then she turned her gaze to the wine glass in her hand.
She knew that once she drank this glass of wine, it meant that she had officially accepted her status as Huqinglei's concubine, and the relationship between her and Lin Mo would also deteriorate.
Zi Ling's hand trembled slightly, but she still walked steadily in front of Lin Mo and gently placed the wine glass in front of him.
"Lin Mo, this glass of wine, I respect you." Zi Ling's voice was faint, but full of mixed emotions.
Lin Mo nodded slightly, took the wine glass, didn't say anything, just smiled indifferently, and then drank it cleanly.
Zi Ling looked up at Lin Mo, his eyes revealing sadness, and he seemed to be expecting something. She bit her red lip and was about to raise her glass and drink the wine in her hand, but she shook it violently and almost spilled it.
It turned out that Hu Qinglei saw that Zi Ling was reluctant to raise his glass, so he secretly imposed a ban on her, trying to force her to drink this glass of wine.
"I ...... I can't drink this wine. Zi Ling said in a trembling voice, his eyes showing despair.
She knew that at this moment, her fate was in the hands of others, and she had no choice.
Lin Mo saw it in his eyes, his brows tightened, and a burst of anger rose in his heart......
"Zi Ling, drink this glass of wine!" Hu Qinglei's tone was no longer gentle, but full of impatience.
Zi Ling held the wine glass, his hands trembled slightly, but he still didn't drink it.
"You don't want to regret it," Hu Qinglei sneered, "I don't have the patience to play these tricks with you." “
"Zi Ling may need a little time to get used to, so it shouldn't be forced." Lin Mo opened his mouth to dissuade.
"Why are you an outsider meddling in the internal affairs of the Demon Palace" The old man with the wooden crown narrowed his eyes, and a trace of murderous intent emanated from him.
Lin Mo was not afraid, but smiled: "I just care about my friends." The purple spirit girl obviously has something unspeakable to hide, and she should not be forced. “
"Haha, it's hard to say," Hu Qinglei laughed, "as if she had a choice." She is now a member of the Demon Palace, and must do what I want. “
"You!" Zi Ling glared at Hu Qinglei angrily, and deep hatred appeared in his eyes.
"Come on, increase the ban on this woman who doesn't know what to do!" Hu Qinglei roared.
Several demon cultivators responded and approached the purple spirit.
"Stop!" Lin Mo shouted, and his momentum exploded instantly, shaking those demon cultivators back.
"You!" The old man with the wooden crown and Hu Qinglei changed color at the same time.
"It seems that the purple spirit is not voluntary." Lin Mo said indifferently, "I even doubt that you forcibly kidnapped her."
"Hahaha!" Hu Qinglei laughed wildly, "This is the way of the devil, the strong are respected!" What is voluntary or not, it's all nonsense. Now that she has entered the Demon Palace, she can only obey my orders!"
"The Devil's Doctrine should have its own rules, and it should not be coerced." Lin Mo said calmly.
"What a big breath!" Hu Qinglei gritted his teeth, "Why do you think you are on an equal footing with me, today I want you to see, what are the rules of the Demon Palace!"
There was tension between the two, and the spiritual pressure was agitated, and the entire hall demon cultivators consciously retreated, for fear of being affected. Only Zi Ling was still standing in place, looking at Lin Mo with mixed feelings in his eyes......
Lin Mo's gaze was focused on Zi Ling, as if he wanted to find the answer from her eyes. Under Zi Ling's emotional gaze, he slowly spoke: "Zi Ling, I have a question I want to ask you, and I hope you can answer it sincerely. ”
"I just want to confirm one thing." Lin Mo looked at Zi Ling and asked calmly, "Are you voluntarily becoming a concubine under Huqing Lei's seat?"
Zi Ling couldn't hide her bitterness, she opened her mouth, and stopped talking.
This question was like a bombshell, thrown into the atmosphere of the main hall. Everyone's eyes turned to Zi Ling, waiting for her answer.
Zi Ling fell into a contradiction, her emotions fluctuated, and her heart seemed to be pulled by an indescribable force.
