The sudden sound made Xiao Jinyun, who had been indifferent, suddenly brighten his eyes and turned his head to look.

He saw a young Taoist priest walking through the crowd and coming here.

The excitement revealed in Xiao Jinyun's pretty eyes immediately made the middle-aged man in brocade robe angry.

He looked over coldly: "Who is so bold that he dares to interrupt me? Come on, catch him for me!"

But when he finished speaking, none of the black-clothed men around him took action.

The middle-aged man in brocade robe was puzzled and looked up to find that the black-clothed men were all sweating profusely, with fear in their eyes, as if they had seen something terrible?

"What are you doing? Didn't you hear what I said?" The middle-aged man in brocade robe frowned.

At this time, the young Taoist priest had walked to the table and sat opposite the middle-aged man in brocade robe.

Until this time, the black-clothed men still did not move, as if they could not see the young Taoist priest.

The young Taoist priest was not polite at all. He grabbed a handful of melon seeds from the table and started eating them with relish.

"Why are you here?"

Xiao Jinyun smiled sweetly, like a little girl who had reunited with her lover after a long separation.

This attitude was completely different from when she faced the middle-aged man in brocade robes just now.

"Haha, of course I miss you."

Zhao Mu smiled: "Why, haven't seen you for two years, don't you miss me?"

"Get away, stop teasing me!"

Xiao Jinyun laughed and scolded: "I heard from Senior Gui Ling that you have been in seclusion for the past two years. Now you suddenly come out, but have you arrived in the South Region?"

"Almost, I will be there in a while."

Zhao Mu glanced at the middle-aged man in brocade robe: "Tell me, what did you do that made the prince of the dynasty come to your door? Judging from his posture, if you don't agree today, he will probably kidnap you by force."

"Nothing, I was bored a while ago, so I disguised myself as a man to participate in the imperial examination, and I won the first place."

Xiao Jinyun's pretty face was proud: "But this girl is not interested in being an official, so after seeing that I was on the imperial list, I left directly."

"It's just unfortunate that when I left, this guy found me dressed as a man, and then entangled with me."

Imperial examination?

Zhao Mu was stunned: "You are really bored. Other students have studied hard for many years, but in the end you snatched the title of the top scholar. It's unfair."

"Same here. I heard from Gui Ling that someone was bored and played the game of the world. Didn't he also mix in the martial arts world? In the end, he defeated many martial arts masters at the martial arts conference and became the leader of the martial arts world for a while?"

Xiao Jinyun teased without showing any weakness.

"Gui Ling really tells you everything."

Zhao Mu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and turned his head to look at the middle-aged man in brocade robe: "Are you nervous?"

The middle-aged man in brocade robe at this time no longer looked superior. Instead, his face was pale, and beads of sweat as big as soybeans kept dripping on his forehead.

It seems that he finally realized that something was wrong.

Yes, the black-clothed men he brought were all elites trained by the court, and they were also top-notch masters in the martial arts world.

But since Zhao Mu appeared, these people ignored his orders and never took action, as if they were under a spell of immobilization.

If he still didn't realize that something was wrong, he, the prince, would have died countless times.

"I am the current King of Jin. What is your name?" The middle-aged man in brocade asked with an unpleasant expression.

"There is no need to reveal your identity. If I want to kill someone, not to mention you are a prince, even the current emperor will not survive for three breaths."

Zhao Mu smiled with interest: "But I admire your courage. You dare to chase after her and force her to take you as a concubine without even knowing her identity. Aren't you afraid of dying for no reason?"

"What do you mean?"

The middle-aged man in brocade looked puzzled: "You don't mean to say that Miss Xiao is a spy sent by the enemy country to assassinate me?"

"Haha, your experience limits your imagination."

Zhao Mu smiled and said: "This Miss Xiao is beautiful, but are you sure that the face you see is real? Have you never doubted that such a beautiful face can really be possessed by a person?"

The middle-aged man in brocade sneered, thinking that this Taoist's brain was squeezed by the door?

No matter how beautiful a face is, if it is not a human, can it be a ghost?

He snorted in his heart and looked at Xiao Jinyun.

"Huh? Where did this bear come from? Why is it sitting on the stool? Where is Miss Xiao? Wait..."

The middle-aged man in brocade robe suddenly widened his eyes, as if he had seen a ghost.

Xiao Jinyun, who was a beauty just now, now had a bear head on her shoulder.

The pair of white jade hands also turned into a pair of palm-leaf fan-like claws, constantly grabbing the melon seeds on the table and stuffing them into her mouth.

No!

Those were not melon seeds either. What was placed on the table was actually pieces of bloody raw meat.

The middle-aged man in brocade robe shivered unconsciously, his face was pale without a trace of blood, and his legs were even weaker, and he slid directly from the stool to the ground.

"Monster!"

Suddenly he screamed, using his hands and feet, and ran away, rolling and crawling, as if his butt was on fire.

"Your Highness!"

The men in black were horrified and chased after him.

The people around were puzzled: "What happened to that guy just now? Why did he call a girl a monster? Is he blind?"

"What did you do?" Xiao Jinyun looked strange.

Zhao Mu coughed lightly: "Nothing, maybe he didn't sleep well last night, so he had hallucinations."

"Did he hallucinate, or did you use illusions?"

Xiao Jinyun's eyes were a little dangerous: "Tell me, what did you transform me into just now? Is it ugly? Otherwise, how could you scare Prince Jin like that?"

"Don't worry, you're not ugly. I just turned you into a flower. You know, as long as he thinks you are a monster, he will be scared to death no matter how beautiful you are."

"real?"

“Realer than real gold!”

"snort!"

Xiao Jinyun's pretty face was full of threats: "It's best not to let me know that you turned this girl into something weird, otherwise I won't be able to spare you."

Zhao Mu felt guilty and quickly changed the subject: "By the way, I came to you today because I have something to discuss with you."

"What's up?"

"We will be able to approach the Southern Territory in a while, but when the time comes, I hope you will not leave the Hanhai Continent. When I think it is okay, you can go to the Southern Territory."

"Something happened over there in the Southern Territory?" Xiao Jinyun frowned slightly.

"Um."

Zhao Mu nodded and told the news brought by Lu Xianweng.

He stared intently and said: "A master has arrived in the Northern Territory, and I think he will come to the Southern Territory soon."

"I don't want the Hanhai Continent to be exposed, so while the Lord is selecting candidates for destiny, it is best for no one to enter or leave the Hanhai Continent."

"Whenever the Lord leaves the Southern Territory, it won't be too late for you to leave."

"Okay, I agree."

Xiao Jinyunsi nodded without hesitation: "But do you think there are really people with destiny who can solve the problem of spiritual energy exhaustion?"

"have no idea!"

Zhao Mu shook his head: "But even if there is, I am not interested in it. After all, in my opinion, the so-called person with destiny is just a living target."
