Chapter 26

"Seems like you're quite interested in this little boy," Li Mochou suddenly asked.

Zhao Hao nodded.

"Do you need me to bring him out? I can tell that this little boy doesn't want to stay in the Quanzhen Sect," Li Mochou said.

"Temporarily, no. For some people, they need to suffer a bit to understand how precious others' kindness is. I never do things for nothing; if I give, I expect a return," Zhao Hao said this without a hint of shame.

For Zhao Hao, he would neither take others' help for granted nor help others for free.

In this world, no one owes anyone anything; there is no such thing as should or shouldn't.

If someone helps you, you should be grateful. If I help someone, they should be grateful to me.

Those who take my help for granted do not deserve it.

Yang Guo is a typical example of someone who doesn't shed a tear until he sees the coffin.

He knows gratitude, but the extent of that gratitude depends on the timing.

Why did Yang Guo later have such a deep sense of belonging to the Ancient Tomb Sect? Apart from the factor of Xiaolongnü, it was also because he suffered a lot of unfair treatment in the Quanzhen Sect.

In comparison, he naturally identified more with the Ancient Tomb Sect.

If Yang Guo had joined the Ancient Tomb Sect from the beginning, his sense of belonging might not have been as strong.

This is the importance of timing. Li Mochou looked at Zhao Hao, feeling both admiration and a chill.

She found that Zhao Hao was too complex. He could be passionate for the country and the people, but he could also be indifferent and ignore others' suffering.

Li Mochou had traveled far and wide over the years, and her insight was far greater than that of ordinary people. She understood that Zhao Hao was the kind of person who would do anything to achieve his goals.

Or, to put it another way, he would use the fastest means to achieve his goals.

The process was meaningless to Zhao Hao.

"Let's go, we'll go to the Living Dead Tomb. It seems Hedu is also heading in that direction," Zhao Hao turned and said.

Li Mochou snorted coldly and said, "You don't know when to quit. The Living Dead Tomb isn't something you can attack just because you have more people."

Zhao Hao didn't disagree with this, but his purpose in going to the Living Dead Tomb wasn't to confront Hedu.

Xiaolongnü, if he remembered correctly, was at the peak of her beauty right now.

Thinking of Zhao Ling'er, Zhao Hao felt even more anticipation for Xiaolongnü.

In this life, is Xiaolongnü really exactly like Zhao Ling'er?

Arriving at the entrance of the Living Dead Tomb, Hedu was indeed standing not far from the cave entrance with over a hundred people.

"Prince Hedu of Mongolia, I respectfully congratulate Miss Long on her birthday. I have heard that Miss Long has announced to the world that she will hold a martial arts competition for marriage today. My family has a noble lineage, and I am not ugly. I wish to find a good match, and I believe it would not be a disgrace. Miss Long, as a heroine of this era, there's no need to be shy," Hedu called out loudly.

Zhao Hao frowned and said to Li Mochou, "What kind of nonsense is this martial arts competition for marriage?"

Li Mochou had an innocent look on her face and said, "I said this has nothing to do with me, but you won't believe me."

Zhao Hao, of course, didn't believe her.

At this moment, a large swarm of bees flew out from the cave entrance of the Living Dead Tomb.

The bees formed a massive swarm, flying densely toward Hedu and his group. Despite their numbers, they were not chaotic. Zhao Hao focused his gaze and saw that the bees were arranged in a formation.

Training bees to this level, Xiaolongnü's animal taming skills were extraordinary.

And this talent was not most useful in the martial arts world.

A glint of insight flashed in Zhao Hao's eyes, and he thought of many things.

"Can you control a swarm of bees, Mochou?" Zhao Hao asked.

A flash of jealousy quickly passed through Li Mochou's eyes, and she said, "I left the tomb too early and didn't learn many things."

Zhao Hao nodded, not surprised by this.

Otherwise, Li Mochou wouldn't have gone to such lengths to obtain the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra.

"These people, a bunch of cowards, want to call out your junior sister. They might have to think of another plan," Zhao Hao said.

"Do you really want to see my junior sister?" A strange light flashed in Li Mochou's eyes.

Zhao Hao nodded. Since he had come to the world of The Return of the Condor Heroes, he naturally wanted to see Xiaolongnü's beauty. Otherwise, it would be a great regret.

"I can help you with that. After all, she is my junior sister. Meeting her once shouldn't be too difficult," Li Mochou said.

Zhao Hao looked at Li Mochou and said, "The Jade Maiden Heart Sutra isn't that great. Its power is only average. But if you really want it, I can give it to you. After all, the Jade Maiden Sword Technique and the Quanzhen Sword Technique, when used together, are quite powerful."

The conditions for practicing the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra are too strict, and its effects are only average for Zhao Hao. He naturally didn't want to spend time practicing it.

But if Li Mochou and Xiaolongnü practiced the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra together, it might not be a bad idea.

Li Mochou's current martial arts skills were already quite good. The Jade Maiden Heart Sutra is the highest level technique of the Ancient Tomb Sect. If Li Mochou practiced it, her martial arts skills would definitely improve. Even if she couldn't match the Five Greats, at least catching up with Huang Rong, or even surpassing her, shouldn't be a problem.

For the current Zhao Hao, the stronger Li Mochou was, the more beneficial it was for him.

As for the risk of betrayal, Li Mochou was a smart person. She knew what she could provoke and what she couldn't.

Li Mochou had been walking in the world with the title of "Crimson Lotus Fairy" for decades without being eliminated by those who upheld justice. She wasn't someone who didn't know what was good for her.

Zhao Hao's strength might not exceed Huang Yaoshi's, but the forces he could mobilize far exceeded Huang Yaoshi's. Ten Li Mochous wouldn't be enough for Zhao Hao to deal with.

Li Mochou naturally didn't dare to act rashly.

"The Jade Maiden Heart Sutra is more than just a martial arts technique; it's an obsession for me. Without it, my heart cannot be at peace. As for its power, that's secondary," Li Mochou said frankly.

Zhao Hao nodded. Indeed, what you can't get is always the best.

Li Mochou's martial arts skills were already at a high level. Even when Xiaolongnü had just completed the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra, her true strength didn't exceed Li Mochou's, who hadn't practiced it. This shows that the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra doesn't absolutely determine one's strength.

But the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra was the technique Li Mochou most wanted to obtain, and she was denied it because she left the sect. For Li Mochou, this was a huge regret.

If she could obtain the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra, the improvement in her strength would be secondary. Her mental state would definitely reach a new level.

"Junior sister, your senior sister has come to see you. Are you sending these bees to welcome me?" Hedu and his group had already fled, and Li Mochou suddenly called out.

A moment later, a graceful and ethereal white figure appeared at the entrance of the Living Dead Tomb.

"Senior sister, you didn't come to see Master before she died. What are you doing here today?"

Zhao Hao's breath stopped when he saw the white figure.

Ling'er
