Betraying his master definitely had an impact. It was not as serious as killing his father, but it was almost there.

Who could say for sure what kind of retribution he would receive?

With a thud, Meng Jifang finally… fainted.

Everyone in the world… bullied him, lied to him, and tricked him!

“This child won’t hate you, right?” Mo Lingzi rubbed his nose. He felt that this child was quite pitiful. Look at this young man, he was actually subjected to such a great humiliation…

His disciple was so good-looking. It would be more appropriate to marry her as a wife. As his master, he could look at her but not touch her!

“That’s life. How can you get everything you want? You have to suffer a little before you can grow up.” Xie Qiao had no sympathy at all.

Being a Taoist master could extend one’s life? How could it be so simple?

It was only because he had become a Taoist master and tempered his character that he could get rid of his bad habits and become a new person.

Meng Jifang had made many big and small mistakes in the past. It was normal for him to suffer some hardships in the future.

“You’re talking like an old man, little girl.” Mo Lingzi glared at her.

They got someone to drag Meng Jifang away and sent him to Mo Lingzi’s courtyard.

Meng Yan was there too, but the fool seemed to be better now. The imperial physician came all day long, and he could occasionally recall some fragments. They estimated that it would not take long for him to recover completely.

It was also because he had a little memory that he had a great opinion of Meng Jifang. He insisted on not sleeping the whole night and insisted on chasing Meng Jifang out.

It was as if he was afraid that Mo Lingzi would forget his old love when he had a new one.

Mo Lingzi also thought the fool was cute, so he patiently coaxed him.

The next day, everything was ready.

Meng Jifang was still sleeping when Xie Qiao and Zhao Xuanjing brought him to a Taoist temple in the suburbs.

The Taoist temple was built on the top of the mountain. It was not big, and there were only a few rooms. It was very dilapidated, and the mountain road was steep. They had to climb it.

Meng Jifang was dizzy, so Xie Pinggang carried him up, which saved him a lot of effort.

When he woke up, he found that he had changed into a Taoist robe…

Xie Qiao had disguised into Mo Chusheng, and her face was solemn.

“From today on, you and I will stay on the top of the mountain for nine days. During these nine days, do whatever I want you to do. Don’t slack off,” Xie Qiao instructed.

On the mountain… The wind was quite strong.

The thin fog looked like a cloud, giving people they were in heaven.

The surrounding scenery was extremely beautiful, making people feel comfortable in their bodies and minds. As they looked around, they instantly felt a sense of relief, and the emotions in their hearts instantly disappeared.

He had never seen such a scene.

He was secretly shocked.

Mo Chusheng, who stood in front of him, was like an immortal, not tainted by worldly possessions.

“Oh… I understand.” He nodded subconsciously.

At first, he wanted to ask her why she lied to him… However, now, for some reason, he could not bring himself to ask.

“Good. Now that you haven’t cultivated and are a mortal, you can’t see anything scary. Don’t be too nervous. I only asked you to come over to have a look at the general process of breaking the formation and see what fighting with evil looks like. This doesn’t happen very often. You must remember it in your heart,” Xie Qiao added.

Meng Jifang glanced at the Crown Prince and saw that his expression was calm. Then, he nervously nodded his head.

Was the Crown Prince not upset?

Xie Qiao was Mo Chusheng!

She was a Taoist master, and she knew how to fight evil. As a wife and the Princess Consort, how strange was that? His Highness had already accepted his fate?

If it was him…

Meng Jifang admitted that if he had been able to marry Xie Qiao back then, he probably would not have been as magnanimous as the Crown Prince…

In the past, he had felt that the Crown Prince had trampled on such a talented and good-looking lady like Xie Qiao. However, now… The Crown Prince’s indulgence had really confirmed what outsiders said about his doting…
