Chapter 1148 "The Meaning of Cooperation!"

"Does the young lady have a plan?" The monk looked at the backs of Chu Mo and his companions, and asked softly.
Zhong Lixiu nodded and then took a step forward: "You all go back, don't follow me. Monk, you accompany me."
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhong Lixiu's figure had already gone far away, chasing after Chu Mo and the others.
The monk chanted the Buddhist mantra softly, and then followed closely behind Zhong Lixiu. Although Miss Zhong claimed to be a princess of the Da Li Dynasty, her maternal family is from the Da Xia Dynasty, hence she is not well received in the royal family of Da Li.
It was a cold night, exceptionally clear, with a gloomy sky and dense clouds, occasionally dropping light rain, giving people a refreshing and ethereal feeling.
Chu Mo and his group walked on both sides of the street. The local customs and manners here were no less than in Xuan Realm. It was cold here, and there was distance between people. Even on both sides of the street, pedestrians did not speak.
Like a stranger, without a trace of humanity.
"The earthly realm is not like your realm, there are no worldly distractions here, nor is there any human emotion. Here, there is only interests, only grievances. Are you disappointed?"
Just behind Chu Mo and the others, a crisp voice sounded, causing Chu Mo and the others to turn around.
"Is it you? How did you manage to follow us?" Huatian Long and the others were astonished to see Zhuang Lixiu. How did this woman manage to follow them?
"Do you know who we are?" asked Wu Xin vigilantly.
"White-haired youth, renowned for his achievements in one battle, who in this world does not know? This young lady has long admired Lord Chu." Zhong Lixiu slightly bowed, showing no arrogance.
"What about me?" Huatian Long squinted his eyes, resembling a cartoon pig. This appearance made Xiong Yue grit her teeth in annoyance and forcefully twist Huatian Long's arm, causing him to scream in pain.
This scene made everyone laugh, and even Zhong Lixiu smirked.
"Alright, what brings you here?" Chu Mo stopped his actions, understanding that this woman wouldn't come to see him for no reason. Moreover, she was able to investigate his identity in such a short amount of time, indicating that she was not ordinary.
"Indeed, there is one thing that I believe you may be interested in. It is rare to have the honor of meeting Lord Chu, so why don't I host a banquet today and invite everyone to gather?"
钟丽秀端庄大方，举止谈吐皆都大家之风，这仪态坐姿根本不会让人拒绝。
"There is a restaurant ahead called Mingyuelou, which is the best restaurant in this city. I will host a banquet there to entertain everyone, please give me the honor."
Hearing this, Chu Mo's deep and profound eyes flickered slightly, and then he politely bowed and said, "If so, I would be honored to obey."
After speaking, the group of people walked towards the city. Along the way, they attracted a lot of onlookers because of their beauty. Especially when someone recognized Zhong Lixiu, they bowed to her.
This makes Chu Mo curious and he asks, "Miss Zhong seems to know everything about us, but we know nothing about Miss Zhong. May I ask where Miss Zhong is from? And why do these people bow down to you when they see you?"
"This place belongs to the Great Li Dynasty, and I am the princess of the Great Li Dynasty. It is customary to bow down when you see me, but these are just some rituals. Let them do as they please."
Is Zhong Lixiu graceful and unreserved? She did not hide anything.
"That's how it is," Chu Mo nodded and asked, "Having recently arrived in this area, I'm not familiar with the various forces here. I even have many enemies. Isn't the princess afraid of attracting criticism by hosting such a public banquet?"
"The world belongs to everyone, but different paths lead to different destinations. Even though I hold a high position, I won't involve myself in matters of high status. Right now, I am Zhong Lixiu, not some princess of the Great Li Dynasty."
Zhong Lixiu's lips curled up slightly. It is said that Chu Mo is a good person, decisive and ruthless. Today, she is going to test him.
"It seems that you are not welcomed in the palace, and you cannot even gain any power. It is evident that you are a cunning person, but there are consequences for certain actions, and you should think carefully about that."
Chu Mo threatened, saying that the woman in front of him named Zhong Lixiu was not ordinary. She had a purpose in approaching him, although he didn't know what it was yet, he wanted to make it clear.
"As expected, Prince Chu is quick-witted and straightforward. Since that's the case, I'll be transparent as well. I indeed hope to collaborate with Prince Chu because I have no forces to rely on in this area."
Zhong Lixiu is also quick-witted and outspoken, and she says, "I have no interest in the Dalai Dynasty at all. Although I am a princess of the Dalai Dynasty, I am not the direct heir of the Dalai Dynasty. My maternal clan belongs to the Daxia Dynasty."
"The Great Xia Dynasty?" Huatian Long was startled, not expecting that Zhong Lixiu's situation would be so complicated.
"So, what you mean is that you want to use our help to stabilize the Great Xia Dynasty?" Huatian Long naturally understood her meaning and directly asked.
"The power of the Greater Xia Dynasty is very strong. To be honest, even if the Greater Xia Dynasty joins forces with the Greater Hua Dynasty, they would still not be able to be a match for the Greater Xia Dynasty. Therefore, I need your help, and you also need my help."
Zhong Lixiu looked at Chu Mo and said word by word.
"Your help? What help do you have for us?" Hua Tianlong came forward and asked softly.
"The power of the Great Li Dynasty is very complicated. With your identity from the Xuan Domain, it is impossible for you to establish yourself. My existence can save you a lot of trouble. Isn't it mutually beneficial?"
"Moreover, there is another thing that you need my help with."
Confidently, Zhong Lixiu said to Hua Tianlong.
"Oh? Tell me about it."
Nodding slightly, Zhong Lixiu continued, "The marriage between the Da Li Dynasty is actually a marriage between top forces. The Da Li Dynasty is represented by the Junior Palace Master of the Phantom Moon Palace. However, unfortunately, the Phantom Moon Palace recently replaced their Junior Palace Master. The current Junior Palace Master is named Linghu Xue."
Hearing this, Chu Mo and the others' pupils contracted, Linghu Xue?
It's actually Linghu Xue?
"Are they trying to use Linghu Xue as a sacrifice?" Hu Tianlong understood what Zhong Lixiu meant and angrily said.
"This is playing with fire and risking self-destruction!" Nameless sighed, well aware of the relationship between Linghu Xue and Chu Mo.
However, at this moment, Chu Mo's face was expressionless.
Looking at Chu Mo, Zhong Lixiu asked, "Don't you want to know why the Moon Palace is doing this? Why they even see the Young Palace Master as a tool for marriage alliance?"
"Why?" Chu Mo asked without any expression.
"Because the Moon Palace is not just any place, but the harem of the royal family of the Da Li Dynasty. All the imperial consorts of the Da Li Dynasty come from the Moon Palace."
Zhong Lixiu's revelation immediately caused the faces of Chu Mo and others to change once again.
"What? The Moon Palace is actually the royal harem? How is this possible?" Hua Tianlong showed an incredulous expression.
"This is also too incredible."
"It's hard to tell humans apart from animals," the black monk said coldly. It's disgusting how the Da Li Dynasty behaves!
"The cultivation method practiced by the Da Li Dynasty is the Yin-Yang Decision!"
