As Su Mo and the others left the room, only Liang Xiaoyu, Wu Changkong, and Tang Wulin remained in the large ward.
After a moment of silence, Liang Xiaoyu spoke first, "Chang Kong, you must have heard Su Mo's analysis just now!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Changkong felt a surge of shock. "Elder Liang, you don't mean...?"
"Of course not!"
Liang Xiaoyu shook his head and said calmly, "Although Su Mo's analysis makes sense, what if the other party really is after Tang Wulin's life?"
"So how do we determine this?"
Wu Changkong asked, puzzled.
Liang Xiaoyu glared at Wu Changkong with annoyance and scolded, "Little Changkong, you're usually such a smart person, how come you're so slow now!"
"If the other party is really after Tang Wulin's life, then he will definitely not let it go and will definitely launch another assassination attempt on Tang Wulin."
At this point, Liang Xiaoyu paused, "So, what we need to do is wait and see."
Wu Changkong nodded in agreement, but then a question arose in his mind.
What if the other party really is as Su Mo said, trying to probe Tang Wulin's secrets?
As if he had expected this, Liang Xiaoyu lowered his voice and whispered in a voice that only he and Wu Changkong could hear.
"If what Su Mo said is true, then the person who planned this assassination is either Gu Yue and the forces behind her, or the Holy Spirit Cult."
Before coming to the hospital, Liang Xiaoyu had already checked Tang Wulin's room.
Although a night had passed, the elemental aura was already very faint.
But Liang Xiaoyu could still sense the lingering darkness.
Aside from Leng Yulai, a traitor from the Spirit Pagoda who is suspected of joining the Holy Spirit Cult, Liang Xiaoyu really couldn't think of another super Douluo with the dark attribute in a short time.
Liang Xiaoyu originally wanted to include Su Mo as well, but considering that there was nothing unusual about Su Mo's relationship with Tang Wulin, he removed Su Mo from the list of suspects.
"!!!"
Upon hearing Liang Xiaoyu say that Gu Yue was very likely the mastermind, Wu Changkong instinctively wanted to defend Gu Yue.
However, Liang Xiaoyu shut Wu Changkong up with just one sentence: "Why would Gu Yue, such a proud person, put down her pride in front of Tang Wulin?"
As the intelligence department of the Tang Clan, Min Tang's job is to collect and verify the past experiences and family backgrounds of Tang Clan disciples, and to prevent spies from other forces from infiltrating.
As a core disciple of the Tang Sect, Tang Wulin's personal information was reviewed by every high-ranking member of the Tang Sect.
After Zhao Song and Wu Changkong reported that Tang Wulin had risen four levels in a row after his bloodline awakened in Tiandou City, the deputy sect leader approved and exceptionally promoted Tang Wulin to become a core disciple of the Tang Sect.
Liang Xiaoyu's words left Wu Changkong speechless.
He had read about Tang Wulin's past experiences, and he knew that Tang Wulin and Gu Yue had no interaction before coming to Donghai Academy.
However, back then, because of Gu Yue's powerful martial soul and talent, as well as her friendly attitude towards Tang Wulin, Wu Changkong subconsciously overlooked this issue.
Now that Liang Xiaoyu has brought it up in front of him, he has no choice but to re-examine the issue.
……
As night fell, the quiet darkness enveloped the entire neighborhood.
After visiting Tang Wulin, Su Mo returned to his residence and began training.
Su Mo had just stepped out of the underground training room, covered in sweat, when he instinctively sensed a hint of danger.
The alluring tomoe markings of the three-tomoe Sharingan silently appeared on his eyes.
With the Sharingan's powerful perception, Su Mo quickly discovered the other party's hiding place.
Looking into the shadows of the living room, Su Mo said coldly, "Since you're here, why hide?"
"They actually found out?"
"Human, your insight is quite remarkable, but unfortunately you won't survive tonight!"
"I am the dark, destructive dragon of death, and I have come to toll the death knell for you!"
A seductive and alluring voice, brimming with chuunibyou (adolescent delusions of grandeur), rang out in the empty hall.
Before she finished speaking, the shadows in the living room rippled gently like waves on a lake, and Zi Ji, dressed in a black cloak, emerged from the shadows.
Because Gu Yue had issued a silencing order this time, Zi Ji did not act as meticulously or deliberately as she had when testing Tang Wulin.
Hearing that incredibly familiar mature woman's voice, Su Mo immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Su Mo initially thought he had encountered a lunatic and was prepared to use the Flying Thunder God Technique to escape, but it turned out to be Zi Ji.
Just thinking about Zi Ji's self-introduction, which was full of chuunibyou (adolescent delusions of grandeur), made Su Mo feel a little uncomfortable. He forced himself to suppress the smile on his lips and not laugh out loud.
If Princess Murasaki heard Murasaki's line, "I am the dark, destructive dragon of death, tolling the death knell for you," she would laugh at Murasaki for the rest of her life.
I wonder if Zi Ji's surveillance recorded what she just said.
If it's recorded, she can keep this secret for the rest of her life.
"???"
Looking at Su Mo, who looked relaxed and even seemed about to laugh, Zi Ji was completely baffled.
Even though he had already made his intentions clear, Su Mo not only didn't seem nervous but actually breathed a sigh of relief, and the way he looked at him was also a bit strange.
"Never mind, let's deal with Su Mo and complete the mission first."
Just as Zi Ji was about to make a move, Su Mo's voice rang out.
"Sister Zi, it's me!"
Chapter 98 Su Mo and Zi Ji's Past
Su Mo's soft "Sister Zi" seemed to possess some kind of magic, striking Zi Ji's heartstrings hard.
The hand that had been raised by Murasaki Hime was abruptly stopped in mid-air, and the dark elements gathered around her slowly dissipated into the air.
The nickname "Sister Zi".
Since four years ago, when Mo and Guyue disappeared and their fates were unknown due to dimensional fluctuations on their way to the human world, Zi Ji had never heard anyone call her that again.
Hearing those two words again now, Zi Ji's eyes became unfocused, and a long-lost look of nostalgia appeared on her beautiful face.
The next second, Murasaki suddenly came to her senses.
--wrong!
How could Su Mo, a human, recognize him at a glance?
And he even used a nickname that only he, Biji, and Mo knew?
An unbelievable yet logical guess suddenly popped into Zi Ji's mind, making her heart tremble.
Zi Ji unconsciously swallowed, suppressing the shock in her heart, her voice trembling slightly, "You are... Xiao Momo?"
"It's me, Sister Zi."
Su Mo nodded seriously.
Zi Ji's breathing suddenly quickened as she stared intently at Su Mo, asking incredulously, "You... are you really Xiao Mo Mo?"
It's not that Zi Ji doesn't believe Su Mo, but rather that this matter is simply too unbelievable.
The terrifying power released by the collapse of the spatial passage made it extremely difficult for even ferocious beasts like them to survive, let alone Su Mo, who was just a newly transformed little soul beast at the time.
Seeing that Zi Ji was still somewhat doubtful, Su Mo sighed and then used his trump card.
"Sister Zi, you haven't forgotten how you took advantage of Biji's absence, transformed into her appearance, and stole my first kiss, have you?"
Su Mo stared at Zi Ji and said in a resentful tone.
Upon hearing Su Mo reveal the biggest secret she had kept hidden in her heart, Zi Ji's delicate body trembled violently.
Zi Ji is now certain that the Su Mo standing before her is indeed Mo.
Back then, after Biji snatched the ownership of Su Mo, the source beast, from Di Tian and Xiong Jun, she treasured Su Mo immensely.
He took Su Mo with him every day, taking him with him while cultivating, eating, and sleeping.
It can be said that as long as Biji doesn't leave the Star Dou Forest to carry out missions in the human world, she will basically stay by Su Mo's side every day.
As Brigitte's best friend, Zi Ji naturally became acquainted with Su Mo.
Moreover, Su Mo always called her "Sister Zi" sweetly every time they met, which made Zi Ji feel as sweet as if she had eaten honey.
Although the beast's intelligence is no different from that of a normal person, its emotions are as simple as a blank sheet of paper.
Under Su Mo's constant calls of "Sister Zi," Zi Ji realized that her feelings for Su Mo seemed to have changed at some point.
Every time she met Su Mo, she couldn't help but want to touch him inappropriately.
However, because of Biji, Ziji could only take advantage of the chaos while Biji and Su Mo were playing around to sneak a hand in.
Until that day, when Biji and Ditian went out to investigate the movements of the human world, it would be a long time before they returned.
Biji asked her to help take care of Su Mo, and that's how Ziji found her opportunity.
No sooner had Biji left than Ziji transformed into Biji's appearance, using the pretext of "going away for a while" to trick Su Mo into kissing her, thus stealing Su Mo's first kiss.
If it weren't for the fear of Bi Ji discovering something upon her return, Zi Ji would have already slept with Su Mo.
Zi Ji always thought she had hidden this matter very well, and Su Mo and Bi Ji were both foolishly kept in the dark by her.
But now Su Mo brought this up directly in front of her, which surprised and delighted Zi Ji.
What shocked Su Mo was that he actually knew that it was him who had impersonated Bi Ji back then, and what pleased him was that Su Mo was actually alive!
……
"Sister Zi, why did you suddenly come to the human world to kill me?"
Under the dim light, Su Mo placed two steaming cups of tea on the table, pretending to be unaware of the situation, and curiously asked Zi Ji who had sent him.
However, Zi Ji showed no intention of answering. She cupped her cheeks in her hands, her bright and beautiful eyes filled with Su Mo's image.
"Sister Zi?"
Seeing that Zi Ji looked exactly like Xu Xiaoyan and was practically drooling, Su Mo had no choice but to wave his hand in front of her.
Although Zi Ji used to desire her own body, she would never have stopped acting like she does now.
