Zhao Ruoshi immediately understood, and his expression went from rejection to sudden realization, and then to stars in his eyes.

"Okay, young lady, you are right. I will make all the arrangements."

Zhao Ruoshi happily led a group of men away, but Mu Sheng looked reluctant. He took Jiuning's hand and asked.

"Didn't we agree not to investigate?"

Jiu Ning tilted his head and smiled: "What am I checking? I'm not checking anything!"

After saying that, he ran away. Mu Sheng chased after him with a smile in his eyes.

On the second day, several people made an appointment to go to a racecourse in the suburbs. Mu Yao had something to do, so she didn't go. Liu Fuyi was worried about them, so she didn't come either.

There are various recreational facilities in the racecourse, and more importantly, there is also a racecourse.

Several people decided to play polo together. First, the four of them divided into two teams. Zhao Ruoshi volunteered to protect Miaomiao. Miaomiao looked at Jiuning for help.

Jiuning said with a sly look in his eyes, "Thank you for your hard work, Miaomiao. I'll treat you to a meal at the largest restaurant when we get back."

Miaomiao had no choice but to agree. During the confrontation, Zhao Ruoshi did protect Miaomiao very well.

It was just that Jiuning deliberately got in the way, preventing them from enjoying the fight, and finally dragged Miaomiao to watch from the side and cheer for the two of them.

"Zi Qi, don't let me win! I'm watching you. If you lose to him, I will look down on you."

Mu Sheng raised his chin and looked at the other person with disdain.

"It's him!" He shook his head after saying that.

The other party was so angry at Mu Sheng's attitude that he fell backwards and kept trying his luck.

"Miao Miao, it's your turn."

Jiuning gestured to Miaomiao to say a few words of encouragement, but Miaomiao was a little shy.

"Then I'm cheering for Ziqi, or the young marquis!"

"Of course, young marquis, aren't you a couple now?"

"Then...okay then!"

Miaomiao agreed reluctantly, but her tone was still awkward.

"Young Marquis, you have to work harder!"

Just one sentence made Zhao Ruoshi excited. He rolled up his sleeves and prepared to get to work.

This is a battle that will determine his life, and it must not be underestimated.

On the court, the two men led a team each. Mu Sheng looked at the other's high-pitched expression and couldn't help but hit him.

"You can't win, so why are you so happy?"

Zhao Ruoshi was not afraid at all and shouted loudly.

“It’s not certain who will win!”

The blood was burning, and everyone on the field was ready to fight to see who was the winner.

The ball was served in the middle, and a group of people rode on horses and ran towards each other. Mu Sheng teased Zhao Ruoshi leisurely with a leisurely expression.

The other party stared at the ball and refused to let go, as if the ball was the most expensive elixir in the world and that he could become an immortal after eating it. He chased after it desperately and tried to snatch it with all his might.

Mu Sheng was also infected by the other party's tenacity. The smile on his face became bigger and bigger, and he felt much more relaxed.

While fighting for the ball, the two of them kept on arguing with each other.

"Can't you just give way to me? Miaomiao is watching!"

"Let? Don't even think about it!"

As he spoke, he tightened the reins, accelerated, and passed by Zhao Ruoshi. He also hit the polo ball with one shot and hit the bull's eye.

'Dang' With the sound of the gong, it meant that Mu Sheng scored another goal.

Zhao Ruoshi squeezed the horse's belly hard and immediately chased after him. The two of them chased each other on the court for several rounds. Zhao Ruoshi lost every time, but he never gave up.

"Just wait, I will definitely beat you next time."

As he said this, he wanted to put his arm around Mu Sheng's shoulder, but the other person was half a head taller than him, so his idea failed and he ended up banging him instead.

However, it also brought the two closer together.

After dark, the four returned to the city and went to a restaurant. Zhao Ruoshi was having a good time and didn't care about the noise there, regardless of whether it was consistent with his identity.

Perhaps it was the polo match just now that made Zhao Ruoshi feel unconvinced, and he was determined to get back at them through drinking.

"I'll say nothing else, but I've never lost when it comes to drinking. Come on!"

"Come on! I'll do it first!"

Miaomiao raised her glass and drank it generously. No one else even made a sound to stop her before she fell down.

"Miao Miao!"

Zhao Ruoshi was startled and hurried to check, and also took the time to glance at the two people next to him.

"What happened to her? Why aren't you worried? Aren't we friends?"

Zhao Ruoshi looked at the two people watching the show opposite her and was so anxious that she couldn't speak.

"you you"

In another private room, Mu Yao and Guo Xiu sat opposite each other. Guo Xiu, with a smile on his face, poured a cup of tea for her and pushed it in front of her.

"The information you asked me to check has already come to light."

Mu Yao held her breath, holding it in her throat, waiting for the other party to continue.

"More than a decade ago, the fire at Xingshan Hall was said to be caused by an accidental fire. However, after much investigation and careful review of the information, I found that..."

"Tell the important point!"

Guo Xiu sighed: "This fire is indeed related to Concubine Zhao.

I asked you to come here alone this time because I wanted to discuss this with you privately. This seems to be related to your father, Mu Huaijiang."

"My father, tell me in detail."

Mu Yao felt that the matter was becoming more and more complicated, and more and more people would be involved.

"From what I know, the fire at Xingshan Hall was caused by a great demon. It seems that it has no physical form and needs to possess a body before it can appear in the human world."

"It first bewitched a man named Tao Ying, allowing him to gain the trust of the Concubine Dowager and set up an extremely evil formation."

Mu Yao sat upright, her mind working rapidly.

"Then what is the purpose of this great demon?"

Guo Xiu took out a blueprint from the side, put the water cup on the table aside, and unfolded the blueprint.

Mu Yao lowered her head and studied it carefully, her brows furrowed tighter the more she looked.

She had seen this formation before, and it seemed that her father had taught her before.

"Ziwu Health Preservation Formation!"

"What is the Ziwu Health Preservation Formation?"

This formation was buried very deep beneath the Xingshang Hall. The elders of the Imperial Observatory had also studied it but had not figured out anything special about it.

"This formation uses human blood as a sacrifice in exchange for supreme demonic power. The more living people it devours, the stronger the demonic power will be. If it devours tens of thousands of people, its demonic power will be enough to shake the heavens and the earth."

Guo Xiu breathed a sigh of relief and continued his story.

"When Xingshan Hall was built, a little girl was disguised as a goddess and sent inside along with hundreds of believers. During the fire, not a single one escaped."

"Fortunately, when the formation was about to be completed, a powerful alchemist came and stopped it all. That person was your father."

Mu Yao walked out of the restaurant and went to Xingshan Hall alone to check the formation on the altar.

But when she arrived at the altar, she found that the situation was very different from what Guo Xiu had said. The big demon was not destroyed, but was sealed in the formation.

The only one that even her father couldn't deal with was the great demon woman...

Mu Yao was so focused that she didn't notice that there were two people following her.

In the restaurant, Guo Xiu's private room was right next to theirs. With their spiritual power, they could easily hear the voice clearly, especially the familiar voice.

After watching Mu Yao finish her conversation, the two of them stood up and waited at the door, but they didn't see anything at all.
