Chapter 160 Dilemma (for the leader of Yang Tianxiao
Mo Lin, Mo Yuan.
Envy the fish in the wilderness.
I see.
But in an instant, Xia Sheng had already figured out the whole story, so his heart was a little cold. His stomach, which had become warm because of a bowl of white flower porridge, began to spasm gently.
The deputy envoy of the ruling officer, Mo Lin, turned out to be Mo Yuan's sister.
Mo Yuan was able to become the owner of the 17th floor of fireworks because of Mo Lin.
Mo Yuan gave up the 17th floor of fireworks and wanted to be admitted to the Spring and Autumn Academy because of Mo Lin.
In order to find the murderer who killed his loved ones, he was willing to pay any price.
And now, he didn't know that this man was sitting in front of him.
This person is Xia Sheng.
Xia Sheng finally understood why he saw Yin Shizhen at the door of Yanyu Tower that day. It turned out that he was not here to visit the Flower Tower, but to find Mo Yuan.
So, is Mo Yuan the third party who hides in the forest and does not appear?
Xia Sheng did not get the answer for this for the time being, but he was very sure that Yin Shizhen must have told Mo Yuan about the occurrence of Chunqiu Academy students in Heishui Town!
Since that's the case, did Yin Shizhen tell Mo Yuan that there was Xia Sheng in Heishui Town that day?
Thinking of this, Xia Sheng subconsciously wanted to hold the long sword on his waist.
That was not Huaian's Fusheng Sword. Xia Sheng would not be so stupid that he carried Huaian's relics with him to the market. Otherwise, when he met Yin Shizhen that day, the latter would have recognized him long ago.
Now Xia Sheng’s sword was found by Qin Yan from Shantang. The sword has no name and is not as sharp as the Fusheng sword. But now this sword is in Xia Sheng’s hands, it is a famous sword.
But Xia Sheng did not do this.
He suppressed his subconscious actions with his strong willpower. The horror in his eyes lasted less than half a breath, and then turned into a hint of surprise and finally turned into a deep regret.
Then he sighed: "Sorry."
Mo Yuan shook his head and smiled and said, "It's okay. This matter has been suppressed in my heart for too long. It's a blessing to have someone to tell me now."
This sentence immediately made Xia Sheng feel terrified again.
Because this is his best opportunity.
The best chance to kill Mo Yuan.
It was a complete coincidence that even if the incident was revealed afterwards, no one would associate Mo Yuan's death with him, and now there is only one witness in the scene.
It's the owner of the porridge shop.
In addition, Xia Sheng could clearly feel that Mo Yuan did not doubt himself, or had never linked his sister's death to him at all, so if Xia Sheng suddenly killed someone at this time...
He is 99% sure to kill Mo Yuan with one sword!
Just as Xia Sheng said to Qin Yan in Baima Town, when encountering a crisis, you must make a quick decision, eliminate the roots, and eliminate future troubles forever.
And the existence of Mo Yuan now is a very big threat to Xia Sheng.
The other party's background is unfathomable and he holds amazing wealth. If such a person is waiting for him to grow up in the future, he will probably be more troublesome than the Wei Gonggong!
If he follows Xia Sheng's strategy of killing the wrong ones rather than letting go, he must take action immediately at this time.
But for some reason, maybe it was because of the glass of sake in Yanyu Tower. Maybe it was because of the white flower porridge on the table at this time, Xia Sheng's murderous intent retreated in an instant, making him give up and draw his sword for the second time.
Xia Sheng has never been a person who can deceive himself, so he will not try to convince himself. In fact, like Xiao Zhen from Baima Town, Mo Yuan cannot pose too much threat to him, so he can completely ignore the other party's life and death.
So he didn't understand why his arm weighed a thousand pounds at this moment.
Could it be that the alcohol still exists?
Or was it a poison that he had never identified in that bowl of white flower porridge?
None of them.
It was just because he regarded Mo Yuan as a friend.
And it was not until this moment that he realized that he was an irreconcilable enemy in his friend's heart.
When the truth is revealed in the future, how should he handle himself?
Xia Sheng couldn't think of the answer, nor did he want to think about it. At this time, he seemed to have used up all his potential, suppressing the speed of his heartbeat, the frequency of his breathing, and even the temperature on his body. A quiet smile reappeared on his face and asked, "Since that's the case, how are you ready?"
Mo Yuan finally finished drinking the white flower porridge in the bowl and shook his head and said, "It's hard to say. Although I waived the first exam part of the literature exam and went directly to the re-examination, and I am more confident in the second round of the re-examination, it's hard to guess what questions will come up in the first round of the re-examination in this academy."
"It would be fine if it happened to be what I am good at. If I am not lucky, just like the previous session, and Dean Wei will give a question, I'm afraid..."
Mo Yuan’s worries make sense.
There are three branches in the Chunqiu Academy. Of course, there are three branches, namely Wei Qiuyue, Tang Zi'an, and Hu Shuo. These three practitioners have their own strengths and are good at their own characteristics. But everyone knows that Dean Wei is actually the most knowledgeable of the three. If you only talk about theoretical knowledge, I am afraid that Tang Zi'an and Hu Shuo will not be able to match them together!
So, naturally, judging from the experience of previous years, it is also the most difficult to meet Dean Wei’s first round of questions.
Because no one can guess what kind of question President Wei will have.
It may even have nothing to do with practice!
Xia Sheng asked this question, of course, he didn't really want to know how confident Mo Yuan was to be admitted to the academy. He just wanted to delay the time as much as possible and let himself make the final decision.
This decision was difficult.
But Xia Sheng is not an ordinary person after all. In his ninth lifetime experience, whenever he faces a dilemma, he always has his own way to judge whether to advance or retreat.
This method is very simple.
Just think about what your first reaction was when facing this choice.
That is the original intention.
When he first heard that Mo Lin was Mo Yuan's sister, his instinctive reaction told him that he would kill Mo Yuan.
If it were in the past, Xia Sheng would definitely choose to believe his instinctive reaction without hesitation.
But this time...
The next moment, he took a breath slowly and said to Mo Yuan with a smile: "I'm a little curious. If you, like your little body, frozen in the snow for a night, wouldn't you just freeze it into an ice sculpture?"
Mo Yuan was stunned: "Ah?"
Xia Sheng ignored Mo Yuan's doubts and continued, "By the way, although I have never seen you take action, I think you should be a martial artist. It seems a pity that this way. After all, when it comes to rock climbing with bare hands, martial artists are completely at a disadvantage compared to spiritual practitioners."
After saying this, Xia Sheng suddenly stood up from his seat without any warning, held hands at Mo Yuan with a smile and said, "It's getting late, I have to return to the mansion. Master Mo, let's leave now."
It was not until this time that Mo Yuan finally came to his senses, his eyes turned solemnly, and he stood up solemnly, bowed to Xia Sheng, but was silent, without saying a word, and watched Xia Sheng walk out of the porridge shop and disappear into the boundless night.
Mo Yuan stood there for a whole quarter of an hour before suddenly asking in the air: "Lao Yan, do you think it's him?"
After the words came, a middle-aged man walked out of the kitchen with a big iron spoon in his hand, scratched his head awkwardly, and said embarrassedly: "Hehe, how can I understand these things, but I think that Mr. Xia must be a good person!"
"How can I see it?"
"Because I've never seen any sauer who can lick the bottom of the bowl so clean, hehe..."
Mo Yuan slowly turned his head, looked at the extremely clean porcelain bowl in front of Xia Sheng's seat, recalling the last two words he said before leaving, and sighed softly: "Yes..."
