Mo Xiao casually ordered four to five dishes.
After he finished speaking, he saw Lin Jianshengâs strange expression and raised his eyebrows. âWhatâs wrong?â
Lin Jiansheng revealed an awkward expression and said, âGrand State Master, I only have spicy hotpot and instant noodles that cost seven bucks each. Which flavor do you want?â
Mo Xiao was speechless.
Mo Xiao suddenly missed the royal familyâs chef.
âThen Iâll eat hotpot.â
Soon, Lin Jiansheng brought two hotpots over.
Mo Xiao stared at Lin Jianshengâs unkempt appearance while eating and looked around the overly large manor. He couldnât help but say, âDo you want to find a butler?â
In the entire manor, other than the living room and room, the other houses were covered in dust. This manor was so dirty it was almost made into a haunted house by Lin Jiansheng.
Finding a butler to manage the manor was something he urgently needed.
Without raising his head, Lin Jiansheng said, âWhy waste that money? If a butler is here, heâll live in my house and eat my food. After that, I have to pay him a salary. Itâs not worth it.â
Mo Xiao, who had long heard of Lin Jianshengâs stingy ways, was instantly speechless after hearing his explanation.
Why would someone be so stingy?
......
Mo Xiao was a man. Occasionally, he would be flippant. When he thought of the rumors about Lin Jiansheng, he couldnât help but tease, âYou canât find a woman because you canât bear to spend money on a woman, right?â
When Lin Jiansheng heard Mo Xiaoâs teasing, he said without thinking, âWhy should I find a woman? I worked hard to earn money, but in the end, I still have to take it out to buy bags, shoes, and jewelry for a woman. Canât I use it to buy a few more packs of good cigarettes for myself?â
No one could get a single cent from him, except Yu Huang and Kong Qing.
Mo Xiao was speechless.
âYou deserve to be single.â
It would be strange if such a man could find a woman.
After Lin Jiansheng finished his food in a few bites, he wiped his mouth and suddenly said to the Grand State Master, âGrand State Master, you are knowledgeable and have even been to the Upper World. I want to ask if there are any secret techniques in this world that can revive the dead?â
After saying that, Lin Jiansheng noticed that Mo Xiao had narrowed his eyes in an instant. The way he looked at him became unfathomable.
Lin Jiansheng felt his scalp tingle from Mo Xiaoâs gaze.
After a long while, Mo Xiao asked, âWhy are you asking this?â Mo Xiao was sizing up Lin Jiansheng. His gaze was very sharp, as if he wanted to see Lin Jianshengâs nature through his upright appearance.
He even suspected that Lin Jiansheng was going to revive a certain demon.
Lin Jiansheng was a Purifying Spirit God. If he wanted to cause trouble, he wouldnât be easy to deal with.
Lin Jiansheng knew that Mo Xiao must have misunderstood.
He hurriedly braced himself and explained, âGrand State Master, Iâm a good person.â Lin Jiansheng pointed at his fierce face and declared in all seriousness, âAlthough I look fierce, Iâm actually very kind. Iâm a good person. I wonât do anything evil.â
Mo Xiao was amused by Lin Jianshengâs comical appearance. There was indeed a hint of mirth in his eyes. âTell me, what do you want to do?â
Only then did Lin Jiansheng take out the Spirit Nurturing Bottle.
âSpirit Nurturing Bottle.â Mo Xiao recognized the bottle at a glance. âWho did you raise in the bottle?â
Lin Jianshengâs ears suddenly turned red.
Mo Xiao raised his eyebrows. âWhat? You canât tell me?â
Lin Jiansheng stammered, âItâs the soul of Purifying Spirit Grand Master Su Tingxue.â
âSu Tingxue.â Mo Xiao was a little surprised. âDidnât she die more than 600 years ago? Why do you have her remnant soul?â When Su Tingxue was surrounded by the six families, Mo Xiao was suffering on the Divination Continent.
Therefore, Mo Xiao wasnât familiar with Su Tingxue.
Lin Jiansheng told the Grand State Master about how Sheng Xiao went to the Black Dome to fight for the Purifying Spirit Sacred Pearl a few years ago and found a wisp of Su Tingxueâs remnant soul in the pearl.
When the Grand State Master heard this, he said, âSince Su Tingxue has been reduced to ashes, itâs impossible for there to be any remnant soul left. Unlessâ¦â When he thought of a possibility, the Grand State Masterâs expression became complicated.â Unless Su Xuanye secretly hid a wisp of her soul. â
When he heard this, Lin Jianshengâs expression instantly turned ugly. âCouldnât it be that Senior Suâs soul power was powerful enough to avoid this calamity? That bastard Su Xuanye betrayed Senior Su back then. He couldnât wait for Senior Su to die completely. How could he be kind enough to hide a wisp of her soul?â
Lin Jiansheng sounded so jealous that even Mo Xiao could tell.
Mo Xiao said with a faint smile, âI heard that Su Tingxue and Su Xuanye werenât only master and disciple, but they were also a couple. Perhaps Su Xuanye had feelings of love and guilt for Su Tingxue, so he secretly hid a wisp of her remnant soul. Itâs not strange. Perhaps he even planned to revive Su Tingxue after the situation was settled.â
âImpossible!â Lin Jiansheng snorted coldly and refused to admit this possibility.
He wished that Su Xuanye was a heartless person. That way, Su Tingxue would hate him deeply. Only then would he have a chance to get close to Su Tingxue.
Mo Xiao suddenly said, âYou like Su Tingxue.â His tone was firm.
Lin Jianshengâs fierce face instantly turned red. âGrand State Master, donât talk nonsense!â
âHeh, weâre both men. Why are you pretending?â Mo Xiao knew what feelings Lin Jiansheng had for Su Tingxue when he saw his reaction.
Lin Jiansheng glanced at the Spirit Nurturing Bottle guiltily, afraid that Su Tingxue would hear their conversation.
Mo Xiao caught Lin Jianshengâs small action and the mirth in his eyes deepened.
After knowing that Lin Jiansheng only wanted to revive Su Tingxue and not any other great demon, Mo Xiao was relieved. âItâs not that thereâs no way to revive the dead, but itâs not easy.â
Lin Jiansheng hurriedly asked anxiously, âWhat way?â
The Grand State Master took out a sheepskin book from his interspatial ring. âThis is a secret scroll I obtained from the Divination Continent. Take a look.â After a pause, he said, âRead it here. Return it to me after youâre done.â
