Zuo Qiujie suddenly turned his head to look at Mo Jing and opened his mouth to speak, but when he saw Mo Jing looking like he was risking his life in admonishing him, he immediately choked on his words.

After a while, Zuo Qiujie took a deep breath, his expression softened slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "What is the identity of that Taoist master?"

Mo Jing was stunned for a moment, then a wry smile appeared on his lips.

This is not the first time Zuo Qiujie has asked him.

"Your Highness, you really can't say this!"

Mo Jing's attitude and tone were extremely firm, which made Zuo Qiujie couldn't help but close his eyes and take a deep breath.

After a long time, Zuo Qiujie sighed and said, "That's it! If Gu Xiao has any needs from now on, we will meet them unconditionally. For the rest, you can handle them as appropriate!"

"Yes." Mo Jing responded, feeling greatly relieved, and then quickly changed the subject and talked about other things with Zuo Qiujie.

On the other side, Gu Xiao held his chin and sat on a stool, lost in thought.

Zuo Qiujie's words just now seemed to be a win-win, but in fact they were a threat, and they also mentioned the fire phoenix. To be precise, they mentioned the fire phoenix possessing Fang Guling.

There is no room for the third Taoist powerhouse...

Gu Xiao laughed, but also wanted to understand that Zuo Qiujie's probing words were actually worries.

Shaking his head, Gu Xiao no longer thought about Zuo Qiujie, but thought about tomorrow's succession battle.

Even the royal family is interested in the Ascension Talisman, and aristocratic families such as the Yue Kingdom will definitely not miss it. There will even be relatively weak aristocratic families from the Great Xia Dynasty participating, so tomorrow will not be too easy.

But Gu Xiao was not worried. After all, Sun Yangyun's appearance did not look like the kind of person who would follow others' influence. Otherwise, he would have become a figure like the Yue Kingdom's National Preceptor.
