Qianxun also looked at Huo Tianci at this moment, meeting his cool gaze.
But quickly, Qianxun diverted her gaze and, together with Huo Tianzun, left the White Cloud Temple.
After the two had left, Huo Tianci immediately said to several Taoist children, "I’ve still got things to do, you all clean up the ruins."
With those words, Huo Tianci strode towards the library of the White Cloud Temple.
His eyes scanned the densely packed books on the shelves, and suddenly, Huo Tianci’s gaze settled on one yellowed tome.
Stepping forward, he pulled the book from the shelf and quickly leafed through it.
This book detailed the life story of Mo Tianji, the State Preceptor of the Xia Dynasty, narrated by himself—much more credible than those fabrications made up by the outside world.
Huo Tianci’s eyes quickly fell on one of the pages.
"... During the Holy Emperor’s autumn hunt, he chanced upon a thousand-year-old Nine-tailed Fox who enchanted him... During the rebellion at the Southern Border, the Holy Emperor was shot by an arrow, and his life hung by a thread; the Nine-tailed Fox saved him with a Fox Pill, and Tianji then seized the opportunity to seal it within the Magic Artifact Jade Glaze. Taking advantage, he stimulated the Holy Emperor to diligently seek to govern and wage war, and indeed, the Holy Emperor did seek out the Nine-tailed Fox everywhere, unifying the world but eventually dying young due to deep-seated grief... Reflecting on the past, Tianji often questioned himself in his heart, but he never regretted his actions. The only sorrow was that demons and humans are different, that they met too late. If only back then... Better left unsaid!"
After reading this page, Huo Tianci directly flipped to the last page.
"Tianji knew his life was nearing its end and cast his final divination. A thousand years later, we will meet again. I hope by then, you will give me another chance."
After reading the last line, Huo Tianci’s face showed a pensive expression.
When he had first read Mo Tianji’s memoirs, he felt that it seemed to contain a certain secret.
But no matter how he tried, he could not decipher it.
Was it that he had fallen in love with someone and thus hoped she would give him a chance?
Or because his actions had led the Emperor Xia to tirelessly deal with state affairs and wage wars, resulting in his early death, and he wished to seek the emperor’s forgiveness in another life, to give each other another chance?
These things he did not know, but one thing he did know was that the Nine-tailed Fox had not died, but was instead sealed.
So, was the Nine-tailed Fox his brother brought today related to the one Mo Tianji had sealed?
Moreover, he always felt that the Nine-tailed Fox’s gaze when looking at him was somewhat peculiar.
After closing the book, Huo Tianci narrowed his eyes and then opened another book.
As soon as the pages were open, the image of a Hook Jade-shaped, azure Jade Talisman appeared.
If Qianxun were there, she would certainly recognize it as the Jade Glaze.
And at this moment, Qianxun had already boarded the carriage with Huo Tianzun.
"Baby, what do you think? Do you believe he is the reincarnation of Mo Tianji?" asked Huo Tianzun a little nervously after a while.
Qianxun narrowed her eyes and said, "Her personality is vastly different from Mo Tianji’s, but their sealing techniques are exactly the same. As to whether he’s the reincarnation of Mo Tianji, we just need one final test to know."
"How do we test?" Huo Tianzun asked immediately.
Upon hearing this, Qianxun took out the Jade Glaze, "With this! This Magic Artifact has always followed Mo Tianji. Even if Mo Tianji reincarnates a hundred times, it can recognize his aura!"
The Jade Glaze, upon hearing Qianxun’s words, instantly trembled with fear inside.
What does this cunning woman want to do with it?
If it is indeed the old master, it would definitely turn traitor!
But no sooner had the thought appeared, the Jade Glaze felt intimidated because it had already contracted with the Demoness, and its very life was in her hands.
