Chapter 347: Chapter 309: Bowing Willingly Like an Ox

Qin Xuexiao stood with his hands behind his back, gazing down at the kneeling Mu Bingjiu.

There was a hint of coldness on his face as he glanced at the steward badge in Elder Nangong Yue’s hand out of the corner of his eye.

As a superior, carrying out the mission appointed by the Ancestor Emperor, Mu Bingjiu’s action had indeed displeased him.

In his view, it was entirely unnecessary.

However, thinking deeper, he only felt that this Court’s lackey had clearly developed feelings for the Daoist Sect.

Your respect for the Daoist Sect is weakening your loyalty to the organization, to Moon Country.

“Should I call you Niu Yuanshan, or Mu Bingjiu?” Qin Xuexiao said in a deep voice.

The middle-aged man respectfully kneeled on the ground, his tone full of humility, yet he circulated his internal Spiritual Power, allowing his voice to resonate throughout the place:

“Humble servant! Mu Bingjiu! Pays respects to Young Master!”

Qin Xuexiao walked forward two steps.

As a result, the kneeling Mu Bingjiu could see the tips of his shoes.

Mo Qingmei watched this scene, watched the person she admired kneel like this, her face suddenly turning pale.

She stood there, suddenly feeling dizzy, somewhat on the verge of collapse.

“Is Senior Brother Niu the Moon Country’s spy?”

Qin Xuexiao turned to look at Elder Nangong Yue and Elder Chu Yinyin, clasping his hands:

“Elder Nangong, Elder Chu.”

“This person has no name or surname, raised as a Death Warrior and spy by the Court, codenamed Mu Bingjiu.”

“And under him, there is another person, also lurking in the Daoist Sect, codenamed Huo Dingyi.”

“Yet this person now in the Daoist Sect has an esteemed status.”

“Even for me, speaking this name might not be believed by those present.”

With these words, not only Elder Nangong Yue and Elder Chu Yinyin frowned, but even Situ Cheng and others nearby turned to look this way.

The sudden scene before them, from their perspective, was also a mystery, not knowing what exactly the Moon Country Royal Family was concocting.

If they were to truly claim self-examination and correction, publicly showing sincerity in such an occasion, they wouldn’t believe it in the slightest.

Mei Chuxue and others at this moment suddenly had an intuition.

“Those preceding statements are all a setup, even our Sect’s spies are the same.”

“The focus is only on this Niu Yuanshan, and the person next to come!”

“Even Niu Yuanshan is merely a tool, merely a blade!”

So, who exactly is this person, worthy of the Heir of Prince Rui’s statement of being esteemed?

Even if exaggerating, this person should… at least be a True Disciple!

After all, it can’t be Elder Nangong Yue or Chu Yinyin.

Moreover, Qin Xuexiao had mentioned that this person was under Niu Yuanshan.

Wearing a slit red dress, Mei Chuxue, who was initially sitting with her legs crossed, changed her posture, looking down with a deep gaze.

“Han Shuangjiang?”

“Or Xu Ziqing?”

“It can’t be…”

She shook her head, finding it incredulous for any of the three.

Han Shuangjiang was a Super Grade Spiritual Embryo, and a name with Profound Yin Body rivaling Pure Yang Body.

Just this alone made it unlikely for Moon Country to have her engaged in such tasks.

Moreover, both she and Xu Ziqing were regarded as the saviors mentioned in Daoist Ancestor’s Proverbs, with the latter becoming the Sword Attendant of the Bronze Sword.

“Thinking this way, the least likely person is now the most likely?” Mei Chuxue’s mind envisioned a remarkably handsome young man.

She was still unwilling to accept it.

Situ Cheng and Teng Lingyi exchanged a glance, their thoughts similar to Mei Chuxue’s.

Qin Xuexiao turned his gaze back to Mu Bingjiu, calmly saying: “Mu Bingjiu, lift your head.”

The kneeling middle-aged man obediently complied.

“Tell them, who Huo Dingyi is.” Qin Xuexiao gazed down at him.

Mu Bingjiu looked at this youthful face, inexplicably feeling a bit bewildered.

Very strange, not much of youthful spirit could be seen on him, on the contrary, he bore an indescribable imposing presence.

However, to Qin Xuexiao’s surprise, Mu Bingjiu responded with silence.

…

…

In the Emperor’s Pool, Chu Huaixu observed everything through Spirit Vision and Spirit Listening, from Lin Zixuan’s perspective.

Actually, when Qin Xuexiao asked, he had already mentally prepared for Old Niu to reveal his name.

Loyal beyond measure within the organization, how could he not know.

Previously, when playing “Borrowed Sword,” this institution was dug up by players; these spies were quite deranged.

They strictly followed every word in the Precepts.

Clearly there was no supervision nearby, yet if any of its content was violated, they would punish themselves.

Slapping oneself, for instance, was considered light.

Members of the organization lived their whole life for three things: loyalty, loyalty, and loyalty!

All along, he hadn’t deliberately done anything to Old Niu.

Because he wasn’t afraid of exposure at all.

As for why he never considered self-disclosure, it was purely out of concern for affecting Old Niu.

If the Daoist Sect became aware of the organization, and began self-check, he wasn’t sure if Niu Yuanshan had truly left no trace.

Chu Huaixu was a simple person.

He didn’t know, from a public perspective, or in others’ views, whether Niu Yuanshan was a good person.

But to him, Old Niu was at least decent.

Moreover, Old Niu had helped him, saved him, and always treated him like kin.

Just that.

Yet, he never expected Mu Bingjiu would remain silent when Qin Xuexiao questioned.
