Chapter 4 – Tyrant VS National Teacher (4)
Only fear that you still need to wait for some time, until the other party becomes an adult, and then help Mo Yi to remove the blood Gu.
Thinking of this, Mu Jin clenched his fists tightly, and his hatred for Ling Fei increased a bit.
The killing intent in his eyes was unconcealed. The other party dared to hurt someone he cared about in such a way.
It seemed that this woman could not be left alive.
The system had already been bound to Mu Jin, so it naturally could also feel the killing intent in his heart.
003 knew that even if Mu Jin was suppressed by the rules of the world and could not fully use his original power, it would still be easy for him to kill a woman.
So he hurriedly reminded Mu Jin, “Host, you cannot kill people at will in the small world!”
“You know, we not only need to change the target’s destiny, but we also need to accumulate merit.”
This matter, before Mu Jin entered the small world, his master Mu Qing had already told him about it.
He knew that Mu Jin was determined to follow the soul of the Qiong Qi into these worlds.
But Mu Jin could only protect the other for a while, and Mu Qing could not bear to see his disciple trapped in these small worlds for a lifetime, unable to escape.
So the most important thing is still to bring the soul of the Qiong Qi out.
Therefore, Mu Jin not only needs to make sure that the soul of the Qiong Qi has a good outcome in every life, but he also needs to accumulate merit for him.
Because the Qiong Qi had been trapped in this place for a long time before, his soul must have been damaged.
To repair the other’s soul, you need to help him become a person with great fortune, and use this fortune to repair his soul.
And accumulating merit can strengthen the power of the two in the small world.
One world after another, one day, Mu Jin will definitely be able to help the soul of the Qiong Qi break through the barrier of the plane and return to the present world.
So, regardless of whether Mu Jin is willing or not, in this world, he has to support Mo Yi to sit on the supreme throne.
And he must make him a thousand-year-old emperor who will be remembered in history, benefiting the people and becoming a good emperor who is passed down from mouth to mouth.
Seeing 003’s nervous expression, Mu Jin still nodded.
But soon he had a new idea, and said to 003 with a smile, “Don’t worry, accumulating merit is inevitable, but I can’t just let Mo Yi be so manipulated.”
“Moreover, it’s only killing a few bad guys, where’s the big deal.”
“But you’re right, cultivators attach great importance to cause and effect. For the sake of Yi’er, I will not take action myself.”
003 noticed that although Mu Jin had a smile on his face, his eyes were filled with gloom, and he wisely chose to close his mouth.
He said he wouldn’t take action himself, but in other words, wasn’t that just killing with a borrowed knife?
However, this matter involved the target, and the host naturally understood the measure. He didn’t need to say anything else.
Anyway, for a master like Ling Fei who was actively coming to die, it would be strange if the host would let her go easily.
These days, Mu Jin has seen everything that Mo Yi has experienced through the system’s monitoring.
It was almost at the limit of his patience.
It’s just because his strength was suppressed after he entered the small world.
Using his original power would risk being rejected by the world consciousness, so he had to follow the rules.
Otherwise, Mu Jin would have already teleported over to help his little child vent his anger.
The coldness and beatings that he suffered in his childhood became Mo Yi’s lifelong shadow.
It made him distrust anyone when he grew up, with a perverse and dark personality.
Especially after seeing his mother personally put a Gu on his father, he became even more distrustful of so-called love.
Even though he later inherited the throne and gained supreme power, the harem remained empty, making him a true loner.
Fortunately, Mu Jin arrived not too late. Mo Yi was still young, and there was still a chance to salvage everything.
Mu Jin believed that with him around, he could surely watch over Mo Yi and prevent this young tree from growing crooked.
However, considering his recent crossing here, this system didn’t seem that reliable.
It actually landed him in such a remote village.
Forget about entering the imperial palace; he wasn’t even close to the capital city.
He even possessed the body of a boy who had just starved to death, being bullied by relatives after losing his parents.
If the system knew Mu Jin was complaining like this, it would surely feel wronged.
Originally, it was just a system in a spiritual device’s small world, suddenly entering these myriad worlds, so it also needed to adapt.
But fortunately, Mu Jin had just finished dealing with the original host’s matters and was approached by Master Chong Ming.
Thinking that he had exerted considerable effort to punish those who had mistreated the original host, only to be called unfilial and ominous by ignorant people.
Encountering Master Chong Ming was somewhat unexpected for Mu Jin in such an ordinary plane; it turned out there were cultivators here too.
Although the other party only knew some superficial skills, he could tell that Mu Jin’s soul was not the original host and even referred to himself as a Immortal being.
Mu Jin had a good impression of Master Chong Ming.
Since the other had come to help, Mu Jin wouldn’t hesitate to give back.
By then, he would impart some cultivation methods to him.
Although Master Chong Ming’s qualifications are not enough to become an immortal, extending his lifespan by a hundred years is still not a problem.
Mu Jin thought to himself as he leisurely returned to the palace gate.
Sure enough, he saw Master Chong Ming, who was looking around in all directions, as well as the eunuch with sweat dripping from his forehead who didn’t know what to do.
Fortunately, Master Chong Ming also knew that if Mu Jin wanted to leave, no one could stop him, so he didn’t blame the eunuch.
However, even so, the attendant still looked quite nervous.
Mu Jin secretly apologized in his heart, then walked over with a smile.
He patted the attendant on the shoulder and said to Master Chong Ming beside him, “Master, you’re out.”
“‘I hope you don’t blame this attendant; he has taken good care of me. It was my own fault for playing around and sneaking away; it’s not his responsibility!”
Master Chong Ming nodded at the words and pretended to say in a profound manner, “I understand; this attendant has worked hard.”
Saying this, the national teacher boarded the ox cart with Mu Jin and left the palace.
On the way back, Master Chong Ming looked at Mu Jin, who had been smiling at him from inside the cart, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
He cautiously asked, “I wonder, what important matter brought the immortal being into the palace this time? Is there anything the young one can be of help with?”
Upon hearing this, Mu Jin’s smile became even sweeter. He nodded at the national teacher and said, “Master indeed sees through everything.”
“Today, I met a very interesting child in the palace named Mo Yi. In the future, he will definitely inherit the throne of Xi Ling.”
“You mean the third prince, Mo Yi?” Master Chong Ming was surprised when he heard this.
He frowned and said, “But I had previously divined for the third prince at the time of his birth. This prince is a star of misfortune! Could it be that my cultivation is not enough, and I have made a mistake?”
Thinking of this, Master Chong Ming was shocked.
Every time a prince or princess was born, Emperor Wen would invite him to divine for the imperial family’s offspring.
When he first divined that the third prince was a star of misfortune, he was also amazed for a long time.
However, Master Chong Ming knew that the third prince’s mother was of humble birth. If he had the star of misfortune as well, his life would be even more difficult.
Thinking of Mo Yi’s young age, he couldn’t bear for him to suffer any more pain.
Considering the other’s mother’s identity, this third prince would also be unable to inherit the throne. Master Chong Ming quietly concealed this matter and only secretly opened a platform for him to pray.
He didn’t expect that today, he would actually hear from the immortal that this third prince would become the future king of Xi Ling.
That wouldn’t it mean that his previous divination had made a big mistake and delayed the other?
Seeing Master Chong Ming’s expression, Mu Jin guessed what he was thinking.
He was grateful to the national teacher for his pity for Mo Yi, so he smiled and explained, “Master did not divine incorrectly.”
“However, even if it is a star of misfortune, so what?”
“If everyone just resigned themselves to fate, where would the saying ‘man can conquer heaven’ come from? Cultivators conform to heavenly will, but when necessary, they can also go against it!”
Hearing this, Master Chong Ming’s heart trembled. He thought of the tribulations in the rumors; weren’t they about constantly surpassing oneself?
Each tribulation was a chance to change one’s fate.
Immediately, filled with excitement, he performed a grand gesture of respect towards Mu Jin and thanked him, “I’ve learned from your teachings, young one!”
Satisfied with Master Chong Ming’s understanding, Mu Jin leaned over and lightly tapped the space between the national teacher’s eyebrows.
His fingertip condensed into a green light dot, disappearing between the teacher’s brows.
In an instant, Master Chong Ming’s sea of consciousness gained a set of cultivation techniques.
Receiving such guidance, Master Chong Ming was excited and wanted to bow in respect to Mu Jin but was stopped by the latter.
Mu Jin casually waved his hand and chuckled, “This is the chance you deserve.”
“However, I see that the current tutor teaching the third prince isn’t dedicated enough.”
“It seems you’ll have to work harder in this regard.”
“But regarding my statement that Mo Yi will inherit the throne, don’t mention it to anyone for now, and don’t draw anyone’s attention. Just focus on guiding him.”
Upon hearing this, Master Chong Ming hurriedly nodded in agreement. Though he didn’t understand why he couldn’t reveal Mo Yi’s future as an emperor to others, since the celestial being had spoken, he would naturally comply.
More puzzled than Master Chong Ming was the system within his consciousness.
Originally, with such a powerful follower like Master Chong Ming, it should have been a matter of minutes to guide the target.
003 didn’t understand why the host didn’t immediately ask the national teacher to act.
“I’ve overcome so many obstacles to get here.”
“Even though it’s very likely that there won’t be anything between us in the end, how can I just let him go without doing anything? How could I be content with that!”
He didn’t expect his muttering to be heard by the host.
Hearing the host’s response and considering Mo Yi’s current age, 003 couldn’t help but show a dumbfounded expression.
Seeing 003 rarely looking so naive, Mu Jin shook his head with a smile.
Then his gaze became extremely determined as he softly said, “Rest assured, I won’t lay a finger on the child. I will wait for him to grow up.”
“Since his life is already full of darkness, I’ll be the light in his life.”
