Chapter 194
“What’s this? You don’t seem very willing to kill Xu Ming,” the Black Lotus Sect Master said, staring at his disciple.
“That’s not true,” Mo Zhuer shook her head.
“Xu Ming once humiliated me. Luckily, I escaped. The grudge between us is irreconcilable—I’d like nothing more than to tear him apart piece by piece. However, I’m curious about one thing: who exactly wants him dead? Xu Ming is indeed a bit of a genius, but is it really to this extent?”
“A prominent figure in the Wu Kingdom wants him dead. While Xu Ming may not want to become the prince consort, plenty of others are eager for the position,” the Black Lotus Sect Master said slowly. “As for who it is, you neither have the qualifications nor the need to know.”
The Black Lotus Sect Master fixed his gaze on Mo Zhuer. “If you manage to kill Xu Ming this time, you’ll be one step closer to inheriting the position of Black Lotus Sect Master. Don’t disappoint me.”
“Understood.”
As Mo Zhuer finished speaking, the figure of the Black Lotus Sect Master gradually dissipated.
Mo Zhuer put away the scroll and the formation, then stepped out of the stone chamber. She walked to a nearby hot spring and began cleaning her body, washing away the traces of blood left behind from her time with Xu Ming in the Yuan Yang Cauldron.
After bathing, she changed into a clean short skirt.
