Chapter 176
Chapter 176
Le Zheng Shuiling ran in unhindered, holding the invitation and the brocade box. When she saw a familiar but long-missed person sitting beside the stone table, she stopped, confirmed that it was her, and ran over happily.
"Miss Qinchu?"
"Miss Shui Ling?" Qin Chu quickly stood up and saluted her, saying, "Meet Miss Shui Ling."
"Hey, we are being too polite. By the way, when did you come? Is everyone in the Mu Mansion okay?"
"Thank you Miss Shui Ling for your concern. We are all fine, and we feel more relaxed than before."
"I never thought that the Mu Mansion would be disbanded just like that. Is Miss Qinchu still a Taoist now? Is she a wanderer? Otherwise, how about coming here to live with my sister-in-law?"
Qin Chu smiled and shook his head to refuse.
"From the beginning, I was just the eldest daughter of the Mu family, not a Taoist priest registered with the Taoist Alliance. At most, I was a Taoist priest within the Mu family. Since I'm not a Taoist priest, it doesn't matter whether I'm a ronin or not.
Now, I am traveling everywhere, which can be regarded as fulfilling my childhood dream of going out to see the world. Besides, I haven't gone far yet. I have just started. When I have had enough fun, I can consider coming to my sister and brother-in-law's house to spend the rest of my life. When the time comes, Miss Shuiling, please don't despise me for being an old girl. "
"If you are willing to come, I will be happy, so how can I dislike it?"
Just as they were talking, Le Zheng Qiming came over in a hurry, and when he saw Le Zheng Yuhua walking over, he was about to say something to him, but Le Zheng Shuiling looked at him and couldn't help teasing him again.
"Qiming, look who this is?"
"Miss Qinchu?"
"Yes, I came here specially to see you. Are you happy?"
Le Zheng Qiming walked over and said shyly, "What nonsense are you talking about." Then he turned around and saluted Qin Chu.
"Qin Chu greets Mr. Qi Ming." Le Zheng Yuhua also came over, and Qin Chu also bowed to him and said, "Greetings, uncle."
"Yuhua has met sister."
Qin Chu was stunned when he heard it, then he smiled after he realized what was going on.
"Sister, it's not bad."
"I wonder why my sister came here today?"
"I……"
Qin Chu caught a glimpse of what was in Le Zheng Shuiling's hand. Le Zheng Qiming took a look and was so excited that he instantly forgot why he had rushed over.
"Shui Ling, what mission did you accept?"
Le Zheng Shui Ling then remembered and quickly hid the things behind her, smiling embarrassedly.
"A great mission."
"No, logically speaking, you are not qualified to receive such a high-level mission. Did you copy the box and try to trick us?"
"If I told you that I fell into someone else's trap and received such a high-level mission, would you be angry?"
Le Zheng Qiming didn't respond to her playful smile. He went over and snatched the things away, and Le Zheng Shuiling couldn't stop him.
He opened it and saw that the seal on the post was real. He threw it back to her, opened the box and took out the bounty order. He saw the words "Hei Lin" at a glance and couldn't help swallowing.
"Heilin?"
"Hey, yes, I answered it."
Although Le Zheng Shuiling was smiling, they both saw deep grievance and apology in her eyes. Le Zheng Qiming also calmed down, but he still couldn't accept it in his heart.
“This reward is very tempting.”
"Qi Ming, Brother Yu Hua, I'm sorry, I fell into Hong Lei's trap, but don't worry, mother said she would come forward and reject the mission for us."
"Will it be that simple?"
Le Zheng Shui Ling fell silent.
"It's just a choice between life and reputation. It depends on how much you care about it. If you care about reputation, you will go even if it means death. Then you can only go. At most, you will be known as a courageous but incompetent person. If you care about life, then don't go. You will be known as a coward and incompetent person."
Facing Qin Chu's analysis, Le Zheng Qiming sighed.
"The Taoist family, name and fate, seem to be no different."
They all knew very well that reputation would affect many things, including the future evaluation of a Taoist priest, who might not even be able to be a Taoist priest in the end. It would also affect benefits such as regular pay. Le Zheng Shui Ling was still not sure how much An Ruosu could secure for them.
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault."
Seeing that Le Zheng Shuiling was about to cry, Le Zheng Yuhua looked at the reward and said one word: "Go."
"Brother Yuhua, that's Heilin, you can't be stupid because of my mistake."
"My husband is going to Black Forest?"
Le Zheng Yuhua turned around and looked at Mu Xin who was approaching step by step, and the two of them stared into each other's eyes.
"If I go, my lady will support me, won't she?"
Mu Xin understood what he meant when she heard this, and replied with a faint smile: "Since I am your husband's wife, I will support whatever choice you make as your wife."
Le Zheng Shui Ling came over and held Mu Xin's hand, and whispered in her ear: "Sister-in-law, please stop him, otherwise he will really go, and he will die."
"Whether you are going to die or not depends on whether you are willing to be a widow."
"My husband, are you planning to use your lives to test how cold-blooded and heartless I can be?"
"If I die, you will have a headache, right?"
Le Zheng Yuhua deliberately grabbed the Heavenly Sword in his hand.
"Are you threatening me?"
"Yes. I suppose you can't wait another thousand years?"
"This kid, when did you find out? It's really unpleasant." Mu Xin still smiled and asked, "Does my husband care too much about his reputation?"
"Oh, I'm just being realistic. I'm eyeing these rewards. As long as you come out alive, you'll get such a high reward. Isn't that easy?"
"Where is it relaxing?"
Mu Xin raised her hand to stop Yun Xiu, walked over to look at the bounty, and said, "It's just this little, isn't it too little? Since we're going there anyway, why not try to bring the person back alive? One should be no problem. In this way, my husband might just become a Taoist priest, and it would save a lot of time and energy."
"Madam, are you willing to help us?"
"I am willing to help, but the success is up to you. Whether you can come back alive is up to you. If you can't wait another thousand years, I won't wait anymore. Anyway, I don't care."
Le Zheng Shuiling and Le Zheng Qiming were confused as they listened to them talking, but they didn't dare to interrupt.
I saw the two of them staring into each other's eyes.
Mu Xin already knew that Le Zheng Yuhua had doubts, and that the Heavenly Sword and him were the ones he cared about.
Le Zheng Yuhua could also see that what Mu Xin said just now was not false, and she could become indifferent.
When he thought about risking his life, not only was there Le Zheng Shuiling, Le Zheng Qiming and Le Zheng Zhi, he became hesitant. But it was Sanye who made him make up his mind.
He was not very sure, he just felt that there was a voice in his head telling him to go, it sounded like Mitsuha's voice.
He raised his head and was silent for a few seconds. Mu Xin thought he had given up and was about to turn around and walk away, but he slowly said, "You are not cold and heartless." Le Zheng Yuhua was surprised why he said this, but Mu Xin's heart was shaken, thinking, "Did my words accidentally touch her? Maybe she really is not?"
"Heilin was originally in the plan, but with their current strength, it's too early." Mu Xin pretended to be nonchalant and asked, "Do you think you can do it?"
"How will you know if you don't try."
"This is a life-threatening test. If you succeed, you can gain a lot. If you fail, you will have nothing. This account is not equal. You will only count it if you are stupid."
"I know."
"So are you going now?"
"You have to seize your own opportunities. If I don't dare to take risks, what am I doing here?"
"Okay, then I will definitely help my husband to the best of my ability, but as I said before, whether it will succeed or not depends on you."
"If you don't succeed, you will succeed."
Although no one knew what he meant by this, everyone could see that this was a vow he had made up his mind.
"It's easy not to go, it's easy to die, but it's not easy for you to think about it. You are willing to sacrifice your own life, but don't forget that you are not the only one involved in this mission."
Knowing that this was Mu Xin's final attempt to stop him, Kele Zheng Yuhua still hesitated. Indeed, there were more than one person in this mission, and more than one life was at stake.
