Chapter 324: Chapter 144: Mo Zhe’s Chivalrous Tao, the Ruler’s Royal Tao, this Body’s Vendetta_3

The Crown Prince of a country in the Central Plains could never be just a benevolent gentleman.

To practice the Way of Kings!

The Way of Kings is never about being overly nice.

Yuwen Lie slightly smiled:

"With such words from you, I can rest assured."

"Li Guanyi is a commander of talent, but your magnanimity also shines brightly, vast like the grand sun across the sky. The heroes of the land are not limited to him alone. As for Prince Jiang Guang... he misjudged me, yes, I harbored intentions to kill Li Guanyi."

"But my intent to kill is a necessity against enemies, an act of defending the nation."

"Whereas Prince Jiang Guang, on the surface, seeks to kill Li Guanyi, but in reality, he seeks to ’kill’ you. He, who can be forthright even with his opponents, will not harshly blame his meritorious subjects; he who schemes against even his own elder brother born of the same mother, cannot share wealth and honor."

"He lacks the magnanimity of a ruler."

Yuwen Lie sat upright, lifted his tea cup, listening to the falling rain. He calmly said:

"Prince Jiang Guang was born to privilege, opposed by none, wildly arrogant."

"But he ultimately underestimated me, Yuwen Lie."

"Ultimately underestimated, the heroes of the land."

As the rain fell, gradually lessening, Guan Shier spent the entire night, many hours, barely managing to construct the mechanical wrist, which he then attached to the young female musician. Various procedures followed, the musician fell into a deep sleep, and Guan Shier said:

"This young girl, cannot stay here, nor can she follow you."

"Staying here means certain death, following you means harming you."

"We are just about to leave the Capital City, how about taking her with us?"

Li Guanyi said, "I trust the name of the Mo School."

Guan Shier was unconcerned and just said, "Originally, we from the Mo School came here for two reasons: to bring Zu Wenyuan here, and to clear up this mess around the Ghost Market. Now that you have handled both, the Mo School does not want to stay in this land of power, we must leave."

"Now that the situation involves this girl, the sooner the better."

Li Guanyi asked, "Where do we go next?"

Guan Shier replied, "The world is vast, filled with the impoverished everywhere. The disciples of the Mo School naturally travel far and wide, where is there really a specific destination to go? Wherever there is oppression, wherever there is a need for a helping hand, wherever there is conflict, there the Mo Zhe will be."

"Us commoners, though small in forces, our presence is critical."

"Under the Giant Sword, Mo Zhe do not fear death, only fear those who usurp the state remaining undying."

The next day, before dawn, Li Guanyi met the seventh giant of the Mo School, whom he had met before. Li Guanyi’s achievement of Golden Muscle and Jade Bone also involved this big man’s help. Learning about Guan Shier’s situation, he agreed immediately.

The Mo School’s team, part left early, part went to rescue others. Those who wanted to leave were allowed to leave, those who wanted to stay with the Mo School stayed. The Mo School is a prominent school in the land, but they do not recruit disciples like the Taoist or Buddhist schools.

Mo Zhe like fire, where the light of fire illuminates, flames also ignite anew.

The musician woke up, was lifted onto an ox cart, looking at her hand, lost in a daze. She lifted her head, looking at the young man; she thought this young master would let her stay by his side.

The musician softly said:

"Once I have fully recovered, I will definitely find you, throughout this life, willingly exerting my utmost efforts..."

Li Guanyi looked at her and then smiled, saying:

"Alright, then I give you a command."

The musician looked at him.

The young man said, "Live well."

The musician was stunned, suddenly feeling heartache, tears falling, then said:

"Such a person like you, really won’t live long..."

"Have you not considered, if I were an assassin?"

Li Guanyi looked at her and said, "Hold out your hand." The musician extended her hand, her palm made of wood. Li Guanyi thought for a moment, then carved a flower on it with a dagger, making the wooden mechanical hand look prettier. He then smiled and said:

"Then go, go wherever you wish."

"What’s your name?"

The musician said, "I don’t have a name..."

Li Guanyi said, "Then think of one you like."

"You say, I won’t live long?" Caught off guard, the musician saw the young man smiling as he said, "Alright, funnily enough, I feel the same, but I’ll bet with you, death can be as light as a feather or as heavy as Mount Tai, Li Guanyi, even if short-lived, will not be a mediocre person."

"Li Guanyi, even if living only for ten years, will make those who lived a hundred years feel inferior."

"If you don’t believe it, a hundred years later, when your hair is all white, go ask the kids on the street if they know Li Guanyi, then let’s see the result of our bet, how about that?"

The young man smiled proudly.

The musician nodded seriously, agreeing to the ’live on’ pact.

The seventh giant of the Mo School led the team taking her far away. The young man stood up, his eyes slightly narrowing, turned and walked back to where the Ghost Market was, seeing Guan Shier still there, who would be the leader of the subsequent team. Li Guanyi suddenly remembered, although this person was from the Mo School, he was also a famed physician of the Ghost Market.

"Right, senior, your medical skills are excellent, do you recognize this?"

Li Guanyi fumbled in his chest, pulling out a small bottle, which he had kept after forcing out poison from his chest. Guan Shier took one look, his eyes fixed, and said, "Where did you get this?!"

Li Guanyi merely said, "Chanced upon it..."

"Chance?"

"Probably the kind that involves death, right?" Guan Shier scoffed, "Although it’s been forced out of the body, my eyes don’t mistake such things."

"This substance isn’t something Chen Country would have; this land of Jiangnan does not have such overpowering poison."

"This is something only the supreme guard leader of the Ying Country royal family could use."

"The highest grade of secret poison!"

Li Guanyi’s pupils slightly contracted.

Ying Country royal family...
