Chapter 425
Ji Mo didn't expect that the group of silver-armored guards didn't take him to an interrogation room. Instead, they took him to a place that looked like a reception room.
Ji Mo was the only one in the whole big room. He walked around the room for a few times and then sat on a chair.
After a while, an old man with a long white beard walked in from outside. The old man had his hands behind his back, his back was straight, and his face was kind, but his whole body did not have any noble temperament.
If it weren't for the clothes made of golden silkworms on him, I'm afraid no one would notice him if he was thrown into the crowd.
Seeing the old man coming in, Ji Mo immediately stood up and saluted, saying: "I guess you are the state master, right?"
The old man sat on a chair and said with a kind smile: "Are you Ji Mo?"
"I am the junior."
"Okay, sit down and talk." The state master gestured with his hand.
Ji Mo hesitated for a moment, did not sit down, and said: "Shouldn't the state master go to the interrogation room to find me?"
The state master smiled and said: "Hahaha, this is my first time to interrogate someone, I don't have much experience, and I have something to do today, so I asked my men to bring you to my house."
Ji Mo looked at the smiling and peaceful old man, and was very surprised. He didn't expect that the state master of this great empire was really humble and kind.
"Sit down, I will ask you something, you must answer truthfully, of course, if you don't tell the truth, I can only take some special measures to break it." The state master drank a sip of tea and said.
Ji Mo didn't stand this time, but sat directly on the chair. In this kind of matter, he was originally in the right, and he should be neither humble nor arrogant.
"Please ask, state master." Ji Mo said.
"Do you know where the woman who turned Prince Sang into that? I sent people to search the entire imperial capital but couldn't find her again."
"She has left the imperial capital. I don't know why the national teacher is looking for her. Is it because of Prince Sang?"
"Of course not,"
The national teacher smiled and said, "Our people have also investigated Prince Sang's affairs. Prince Sang was wrong in the first place, and he deserves to suffer. However, do you know something else recently?"
"Does the national teacher mean the spies from the Chufeng Empire?" Ji Mo asked.
"Of course it's this matter. As for the girl named Luoxue, her identity is very suspicious. She has no sect or school, but she appeared at the beginning of the Northern Territory Competition and entered the imperial capital with the help of your Tiangang Sword Sect."
"This may be a coincidence. She just wants to watch the game." Ji Mo said.
Anyway, he can't say that Lan Shuangning is his wife in his previous life, and her identity is the Demon Emperor. This is incredible. Who would believe it if he told others.
"In this special period, we will not let go of any coincidences." The national teacher said.
"Okay, then, Master National Teacher, I want to ask what is the purpose of the Chufeng Empire's spies sneaking into the imperial capital?" Ji Mo asked.
"Their purpose is to find a way to remove the seal of the monsters in the Northern Territory."
"What's the benefit for them?"
The national teacher took another sip of tea and laughed and said: "Hahaha, young man, am I interrogating you or are you interrogating me?"
"Sorry, Master National Teacher, I am very rude."
"Young man, there is something I forgot to tell you. In fact, you are also under suspicion now, that is to say, we think you may also be a spy sent by the Chufeng Empire."
"Huh?" Ji Mo was stunned. When did he become a spy of the Chufeng Empire? He had never even been to the Chufeng Empire.
"My subordinates have sent people to investigate your identity. More than four years ago, you suddenly appeared in Tiangang Sword Sect, and your cultivation talent was very low. But just over a year ago, you suddenly left Tiangang Sword Sect. When you came back again, your cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds. I heard from your master that you went to the secular world, but I don't believe it."
"Why don't you believe it, Master National Master? Just say it. I have a clear conscience." Ji Mo said.
"Let me ask you, where were you before entering Tiangang Sword Sect?"
"Secular world."
"Huh? Secular world?"
This time, the National Master was stunned. This answer surprised him too much. He thought Ji Mo would definitely say that he was in a small town or village.
At that time, he only needed to check whether there was Ji Mo in those villages, or whether Ji Mo had done something related to the Chufeng Empire, and then he could determine Ji Mo's life or death.
Unexpectedly, a secular person suddenly appeared...
"Yes, I was indeed a mortal four years ago. I almost froze to death in the ice and snow. It was the master who rescued me and brought me to Tiangang Sword Sect." Ji Mo said respectfully.
"I heard that you were possessed by the magic spring more than a year ago." The national teacher continued to ask.
The smile on his face was still very kind, and he was very patient, because there were too many loopholes and doubts about Ji Mo.
"That's right."
"Being possessed by the magic spring, no one in a certain cultivation world could resist it for more than a week, but you not only did not die but lived well. How do you explain this?" The national teacher continued.
In fact, according to the national teacher's own personal guess, Ji Mo was really possessed by the magic spring, but after the possession, he left Tiangang Sword Sect and went to the Chu Feng Empire.
Because only the Chu Feng Empire studies these monsters, maybe they deliberately asked Ji Mo to use his body to bring the magic spring back, and then use some method to extract it, and the Chu Feng Empire obtained new information based on the magic spring on Ji Mo's body. After the discovery, he finally found a way to completely remove the magic spring from Ji Mo's body and saved his life.
Of course, this is just a guess and cannot be confirmed.
"Master Imperial Master, are you sure you must understand this matter?" Jimo said.
"certainly."
"Then please, Sir, can you please put down this question and ask other questions, because answering this question will surprise the Master too much." Jimo said.
In fact, Ji Mo wanted to see what kind of person this Imperial Master was. If he was a person with no selfish motives and no ill will toward him, then there would be no harm in telling him the secret of the Huangyang Body.
"Hahahaha, young man, you have to understand that I am interrogating you now." The Imperial Master said,
"I know, please continue, Master National Preceptor."
"Okay, I'll put your concerns last," the Imperial Master continued, "Then let me ask you, is that Miss Luoxue related to you?"
"Actually, it has nothing to do with each other. We just happened to meet each other at the Northern Territory Competition. After chatting for a few words, we found that we got along quite well, so we went on the road together." Jimo said.
Anyway, he couldn't say that Lan Shuangning came from the country of Floating Ran just to see and chat with him, right?
