The villain has been playing badly for ten years

Chen Jiu didn't expect that this boy was so deep-minded. Seeing that he couldn't hide it anymore, he waved his hand, his angry expression changed slightly, and he even looked a little embarrassed.

"Hey, alright, alright, Ning, even if Miemie did it on purpose, she just let him wander around Nanzhao City more. She didn't do anything bad!"

Ning Xiusu's voice deepened as he questioned, "But Senior Chen, the place I used the Qi-seeking technique to find that day clearly had traces of evil."

"Ning boy, Miemie was threatened by the Tongshan Dojo because of her sister... She really wanted to take that boy to the riverside..."

As Chen Jiu spoke, his face was covered with wrinkles like traces carved by time, and his single eye gleamed with brilliance:

"But don't worry, Hua Jianbai is our territory master after all, so we won't let anything really happen to him."

Miemie nodded vigorously and explained repeatedly:

"Yes, yes, my Lord. I didn't take him with me later. I just wandered around the city so that I wouldn't be discovered by the people from the Tongshan Dojo."

These two people acted suspiciously, and it was unclear how much of what they said was true.

Miemie looked at him. Her pretty little face was snow-white, and her pair of smart black eyes were harmless, like a rabbit.

"I just want the Territory Master to be discovered by the Luo family. With the spiritual cultivation clan around, the Tongshan Dojo won't be able to cause him any trouble for the time being. Besides, I will never harm the Territory Master."

The Luo family...

"Then where is he now?"

"Your Highness, I don't know. Later, we separated from the Territory Lord, and the Territory Lord kept saying he wanted to find you."

Miemie Shuiling's eyes seemed very pure and didn't look fake at all.

"...Then, we planned to find the Territory Master, and we discovered traces of the Crescent Moon Stone, so we came to the ship."

Ning Xiusu was momentarily uneasy. How could Hua Jianbai's Yueque Stone be on the boat?

Could it be that these people have already found him, or done something to him?

His heart seemed to be tense, and it was as if he was being pricked by needles.

Then Chen Jiu interrupted and said, "That's right, we will definitely not go along with the Tongshan Dojo. Ning, don't forget, we didn't stand on their side when we were in the dorm."

"Yes, Your Highness, we have a grudge against the Tongshan Dojo."

Listening to the two people's explanations, Ning Xiusu felt a little confused, and finally withdrew his inquiring gaze.

He then asked calmly, "How did Senior Chen and Mr. Mo know each other?"

When Chen Jiu heard him asking questions, he turned his sleeves in displeasure and sat down on the bed.

He said angrily: "Some old things, let's not talk about them!"

"Uncle Bearded, please tell the prince quickly... Otherwise, he will really think we are bad people."

Miemie lowered her eyelashes and grabbed Chen Jiu's sleeve with a look of grievance.

Chen Jiu always listened to Miemie's words. He narrowed his one eye, stood up in a somewhat funny way, and then put on a stern face again.

"Okay, okay, I'll tell you!"

Chen Jiu began to recount his past, his eyes fixed on the candlelight, as if recalling something...

"Before Mo Chifei was a stone man, he was from the same village as me. The villagers there lived together with the merpeople, so we have been good friends since we were young and even went to Shangqing Sect together."

"However, our physiques were not good, so we were eliminated from the trial..."

Chen Jiu's mouth was dry as he spoke, and he suddenly paused, as if he smelled something.

His eyes were fixed on the small wine pot on the table. The tea and wine on the table had not been cleared away. When Ning Xiusu saw his behavior, he picked up the wine and handed it to him.

Chen Jiu then touched his beard and continued:

"Since our search for immortality failed, the two of us have focused on our official careers. Unfortunately, Mo Chifei is also a half-mermaid, and his ancestors were once demoted, so his official career is hindered..."

"Who knew this fool would join Longyuan Pavilion in a fit of rage? Unexpectedly, he got lucky and actually managed to get a position in the Bilin Guard."

Chen Jiu paced around the room while drinking.

Dragon Abyss Pavilion...Bi Scale Guard...

Ning Xiusu had read about the old events of Longyuan Pavilion in the files.

In the early years of the previous dynasty, a rebel army led by the mermaids vowed to break the rules of the human race, but ultimately failed.

Not only Tongshan Dojo, how come Longyuan Pavilion has also revived?

Why is it so chaotic now...

Miemie then said, "Uncle, so that ferocious stone man just now was your dead merman friend?"

"Alas, when I was young and hot-headed, I also followed this man to join the Jade Scale Guard, but later I lost an eye and quit."

Ning Xiusu asked again: "What happened next?"

Chen Jiu glared at him, then stroked his beard and recalled.

"And then? And then he died."

When he said this, he actually seemed a little sad. After a moment, he changed the subject and looked at Miemie.

"Since then, I changed my name, found a remote town, and used a lot of money to donate to become a minor official. I was living a comfortable life, but who would have thought that I would inexplicably pick up two girls."

"Uncle..." Miemie lowered her head slightly and asked, "Do you regret picking me up?"

He sighed: "Ah, it's just fate and destiny."

Miemie suddenly raised her head, and her black pearl eyes reflected the talismans on the wall, which were light gold and coated with a beautiful luster.

"But...sister..."

"Your sister is a maniac who can eat people! She's the one who made you like this. If it weren't for her, we wouldn't have to hide. Why do you keep mentioning her?"

Although Chen Jiu covered one eye, he could not hide his indignation and hatred.

Miemie stopped talking, and there seemed to be tears in her eyes. Seeing her like this, Chen Jiu thought that his tone was too harsh, and waved his hand again:

"Forget it, let's not talk about the past. As long as you are okay, I will be at ease."

"Senior Chen, you said you were going to the Sea Ruins to treat Miemie's illness..."

Ning Xiusu looked at the two of them, his eyes curious: "Could it be that you are also planning to go to the treasure house?"

Hearing his question, Chen Jiu and Miemie looked at each other and suddenly looked embarrassed.

After a while, Chen Jiu said:

"It's not a treasure trove. We are not interested in those mermaid things."

"But besides the treasure house, what else does Haixu have?"

He asked, but unexpectedly Chen Jiu fell silent immediately. Miemie also lowered her head, as if she didn't dare to look up at him.

"Senior Chen, is there anything you can't say now?"

Chen Jiu squinted his single eye at him, with a hint of impatience in his expression.

"Ning, you don't remember anything about the mermaids anyway. Going to the Sea Ruins is to recognize your ancestors. As for us, whether we go to the treasure house or not, we won't harm you."

Ning Xiusu's expression paused slightly, meaning... he wasn't going to tell everything.

Since he couldn't get anything out of him, Ning Xiusu didn't bother to ask any more questions.

It seems that there are many things involved now...

"I wonder how much Senior Chen knows about the Dragon Bone Seal?"

"That thing," Chen Jiu said with a deep look in his eyes, "is also an old item from Longyuan Pavilion. It has the power to switch yin and yang. Why are you asking about it?"

"Just curious."

"Ning boy, if you are really curious, just ask the stone man. I am not one of you mermaids."

Whatever...

After chatting for a while, half an hour had passed. What was more important now was the gambling. As for the other things, we would just take it one step at a time.

Ning Xiusu stopped talking and did not intend to distract himself with other thoughts. He began to study the letter wholeheartedly.

……

The dim candlelight illuminated the room, the flames and the faint glow of the talisman array complemented each other, and it was unknown what time it was.

Chen Jiu and Miemie were still chatting by themselves. If they were not called, they would simply ignore them.

He sat quietly by the window, untying the string and turning the pages of a thin book. He saw many ancient scripts engraved on the pages, which looked like gauze, with very delicate strokes, like a woman's handwriting.

What's in here...

There were several pages of strange handwriting mixed in. When the letter was spread out, it looked like cursive writing, overlapping up and down like a talisman to form a seal, which looked extremely complicated.

The candle flame has burned out, leaving only a pool of wax tears and a wisp of blue smoke.

But after looking through it for a while, the thin book seemed like a mystery and I had no clue at all.

He always felt like he knew this word, but at the same time, he didn't know it...

I have been in the domain for many years and have read many miscellaneous books in the past. Combined with my memories of staying in Shangqing Sect, I should have seen this kind of text before.

Ning Xiusu held his forehead and sighed, as if the bet he made just now was a bit too much. If he couldn't solve it... wouldn't it be troublesome?

After a time like an incense stick, the candlelight was extinguished again.

"Hey, Ning boy, what are you looking at?"

Chen Jiu finished a pot of wine and was really bored. He stood aside without knowing when.

When his eyes focused, it was as if he saw some treasure. He picked up the letter and looked at it excitedly.

"Hey, this is unbelievable, this is unbelievable..."

Ning Xiusu was startled: "How come, senior recognizes this thing?"

Unexpectedly, Chen Jiu squinted his eyes, glanced at him, and said in a stiff tone:

"Ning boy, you are a mermaid after all, how come you don't even know this? I think highly of you."

Ning Xiusu didn't care about his strange temper and changed his tone to ask for advice:

"If Senior Chen knows anyone, please tell me."

"Hey, I won't tell you!"

"..."

But just as he finished speaking, he couldn't help but mutter: "...The merman lineage is really without a successor. Poor Mo Chifei still wants to restore his country. It's sad and lamentable."
