Xing Meng was about to take another sip of wine when she was so shocked by Mo Zhu’s words that she almost choked on the wine. She did not expect this girl to ask such a direct question. She coughed dryly to catch her breath and frowned slightly as she pondered for a moment before answering, “To be honest, although I know a little about internal energy techniques, I only have a superficial understanding of these profound skills.”
Mo Zhu raised her eyebrows and glanced at Xing Meng calmly before continuing, “You don’t know much? Your Xing family has studied martial arts for so long, haven’t you invited experts to study these?”
Following Mo Zhu’s words, Xing Meng thought for a few seconds. A few seconds later, she shook her head and replied, “Although our Xing family has been extremely famous in Beijing and amongst the other families outside all these years, we’re only practicing ordinary martial arts. We just have rather deep and vast knowledge about it. Besides that, our clansmen have done well.”
“Regarding internal energy, I only had the chance to learn this kind of martial arts by chance.”
When Mo Zhu heard this, she picked up her glass and took another sip of wine. She lowered her eyes as if she was deep in thought and did not continue the conversation.
Seeing that Mo Zhu was silent, Xing Meng recalled that she had not finished asking Mo Zhu’s question. She held her glass and gently clinked it with the girl’s glass before they met and continued, “That day at the Kang family, did you meet an expert who knew internal energy?”
Upon hearing this, Mo Zhu nodded in agreement. The matter had blown up so much, and she did not want to deliberately hide it from Xing Meng. “That’s right. That person looks like he’s only in his teens, but his internal energy and abilities are cultivated to an extremely high level. Besides that, when I fought him, I had probed his moves. That young man was ruthless and he had learned fatal moves. From the looks of it, he should have been specially nurtured by someone to be a ‘lethal weapon’ used to kill.”
Upon hearing such shocking news from Mo Zhu, Xing Meng’s eyes widened in shock. She frowned slightly in disbelief and said, “A killing weapon? Previously, our Xing family only received news that someone had used internal energy on the night you fought with the Kang family. That’s why the master asked me to ask you about this personally. I didn’t expect there to be such a thing that the Xing family didn’t notice!”
Xing Meng understood Mo Zhu. This girl was usually very arrogant, but the things that came out of her mouth were definitely not fabricated by her. If the truth was really as Mo Zhu had guessed, that someone in Beijing had secretly nurtured such a “murder weapon” and had easily escaped the eyes of the Xing family that had been in Beijing for so many years. Then there must be an expert behind this organization, and their strength could not be underestimated!
Thinking of this, she clenched the wine glass in her hand and said in a low voice, “You might not know this, but the Xing family has been established in Beijing for so many years. Although we appear to be nurturing military talents to serve the country, we have actually been researching all sorts of strange weapons and medicine.”
Upon hearing this, Mo Zhu lowered her head and took a sip of wine. She looked straight into Xing Meng’s eyes and signaled her to continue.
“I don’t know much about the family’s history and what happened many years ago, but recently, I found out from the master that many children of noble families have mysteriously disappeared in Beijing. I also found out that many special poisons have appeared in the country!”
Xing Meng frowned tightly and looked very worried. “In addition, there’s a mysterious person with an unknown identity who suddenly appeared in the Kang family. If these things are not a coincidence and are controlled by an organization, I’m afraid Beijing will welcome an unprecedented calamity in a short period of time!”
After saying this, seeing that Mo Zhu was staring straight at her and not answering, she looked back at the girl and asked in confusion, “Mo Zhu, I’ve already said so much. Aren’t you going to express your opinion?”
When Mo Zhu heard this, she raised her eyebrows and casually put down the glass in her hand. She spread her hands and asked, “These things have nothing to do with me. What is there for me to worry about?”
