Refining divine pills, controlling divine beasts, and the useless lady is so cool

Luo Ning also nodded in agreement: "That's right! Luo Jin is a scoundrel. I originally wanted Yueyue to accompany me, what a pity."

"It's okay. We'll be going back to Qingyun Academy in a few days. We'll go together then."

Luo Ning nodded when he heard this. While they were talking, everyone had already walked out of the Flaming Mountain.

Although Mu Qingli and his group were the first to leave, they were not in a hurry to continue, as someone behind them had already surpassed them.

After someone left the Flame Mountain, the news of the Netherworld Fire choosing its master spread like wildfire to every corner of the four countries.

Even the beggars on the roadside knew the news.

After Mu Qingli parted with Luo Ning and the others, he boarded the Tianlin Kingdom's spaceship with Mu Qingchen, Pei Yan and Shangguan Xiyue.

Mr. Mu was about to come up and ask a few questions, but Xie Xiangyang got there first.

Mr. Mu had no choice but to wait silently for the emperor to finish his questions.

Mu Qingli and the other three were the great contributors to making Tianlin the number one among the four countries, and were directly invited by the emperor to the study on the spaceship.

"What have you gained from entering the Flaming Mountain?"

The emperor asked a tricky question right from the start. Everyone looked at each other, and finally it was Mu Qingchen who answered the question: "Of course there are gains. We found some imperial treasures, but compared to the others, they are somewhat insignificant."

The emperor raised an eyebrow and asked tentatively, "They all say that the Nether Fire has chosen a master. Do you have any news?"

The emperor's gaze moved between the four people and finally stopped on Mu Qingchen.

In his opinion, if the Nether Fire had to choose between the four, it would definitely choose Mu Qingchen first.

Mu Qingchen was bewildered when he heard this: "I don't know either."

This confusion was not pretended, but real. His memory had been tampered with, and everything about the Nether Fire was gone.

The emperor seemed a little unconvinced, and his eyes continued to move between the few people, but the witnesses all looked confused and finally skipped the topic.

Shangguan Xiyue thought for a moment and then stepped forward. She took out the imperial treasure that Mu Qingli had given her at the end and handed it to the emperor: "Thank you for letting me enter the Flame Mountain. This is what I got from the Treasure Pavilion, and it's also my thank you gift to you."

When the emperor heard the word "thank you", he reached out and returned the thing.

Seeing Shangguan Xiyue's puzzled expression, the emperor explained, "Originally, I had no intention of letting you enter the Flaming Mountain.

After all, you are not from my Tianlin Kingdom, but someone offered me benefits in exchange for adding you to the list, so I agreed. So you don't need to thank me."

Shangguan Xiyue didn't expect things to turn out like this. The first person she thought of was Mu Qingli. He must have made some kind of exchange with the emperor for her.

But Mu Qingli saw what she was thinking and immediately waved his hand to indicate that he had not done it: "It wasn't me. Have you forgotten that I didn't even know about the appearance of the Nether Fire?"

After Mu Qingli's reminder, Shangguan Xiyue also thought of the situation at that time and ruled out Pei Yan as well.

So who else would make a deal with the emperor in order to let her enter the Flaming Mountain?

The emperor coughed lightly at this moment and told Shangguan Xiyue what had puzzled her: "At that time, Mu Qingchen used two imperial-grade elixirs as an exchange."

Shangguan Xiyue subconsciously looked at Mu Qingchen, her face full of disbelief.

It turned out to be him! Shangguan Xiyue's heartbeat unconsciously accelerated at this moment.

Suddenly, she didn't know what she thought of, and the tips of her ears turned slightly red, but she still pretended to be calm and thanked Mu Qingchen.

“Brother Mu, thank you, but I didn’t expect it to be you.

And this, since it's all a thank you gift, you can accept it."

Shangguan Xiyue handed the two things that she was about to give to the emperor to Mu Qingchen.

Mu Qingchen didn’t accept it, but pushed it back: “No, I did all this for Li’er.

When I learned about this, I went to see the Emperor. I knew Li'er would definitely want you to enter with her."

Mu Qingchen spoke in a very official manner, seemingly without any selfish motives.

But she herself knew that when she learned that the Nether Fire appeared, the first thing she thought of was that Shangguan Xiyue did not belong to the four major countries and definitely could not enter the Flaming Mountain.

As if possessed by some mysterious force, he went to find the emperor and presented him with the two imperial-level pills he had obtained in the academy as a condition for allowing Shangguan Xiyue to enter the Flaming Mountain.

The emperor was indeed hesitant at first, but Shangguan Xiyue contributed to Tianlin Kingdom becoming the leader of the four countries, so in the end he filled in Shangguan Xiyue's name.

When Shangguan Xinyue heard Mu Qingchen's answer, a hint of loss flashed through her heart. It turned out that it was all because of Li'er.

But she was frightened by her own thoughts. Why did she feel lost?

This is obviously the right thing to do. Brother Mu is Li'er's brother, and he definitely wants to make Li'er happy.

The disappointment in her heart was immediately hidden, as if it had never appeared. She still handed the thing to Mu Qingchen: "Brother Mu, I know you want Li'er to be happy, but I still want to thank you, so please accept it."

Shangguan Xiyue's attitude was very firm, as if if Mu Qingchen didn't accept it, she would keep holding it.

Mu Qingchen couldn't refuse, so he finally accepted the things: "I'll take them."

Mu Qingli watched the interaction between the two and laughed secretly behind them. The emperor saw Mu Qingli's little action and also turned his gaze to Shangguan Xiyue and Mu Qingchen, then showed a knowing smile.

However, it was this interaction that dispelled the emperor's doubts.

These kids in front of me can't even hide their feelings, so how can they hide such a big thing as the Netherworld Fire?

It seems that these people really don't know about this matter. Even if we ask them for a year or two, they still won't know.

After figuring it out, the emperor stopped worrying and waved his hand at them: "Alright, alright, I understand everything. You can go out now."

Mu Qingli thought the emperor would continue to ask, but he didn't expect him to stop asking.

Of course, it is best not to ask, and Mu Qingli is also happy to be alone.

Unfortunately, as soon as they walked out of the emperor's study, they were stopped by Mr. Mu and Mr. Pei.

The two old men were different from the emperor. The first thing they asked was whether they were injured and whether they had suffered any harm in the Flaming Mountain. They checked the four of them from head to toe.

From head to toe, leaving no place untouched.

Mu Qingli was so confused by this scene that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Grandpa, I'm grown up now."

Old Master Mu snorted and stroked his beard: "Grown up? When she grows up, she is no longer my granddaughter?"
