………………………………I am a pure dividing line……………………………………
Zhao Hao suddenly shook his head. No, it can't be Ling'er.
She is still in Lin'an, and she doesn't even know the purpose of this trip, so it's impossible for her to be here.
However, it really does look like her.
No, it's not just a resemblance; it's as if they were carved from the same mold.
Ling'er actually looks exactly like Xiaolongnü.
Over these past dozen years, Zhao Hao has prided himself on his extraordinary self-control, but at this moment, his heart was still shaken.
In this life, the most important person to Zhao Hao is Zhao Ling'er, with Zhao Yun and Xie Daoqing taking a back seat.
Just as Zhao Ling'er is willing to do anything for Zhao Hao, Zhao Hao can never remain calm when it comes to matters concerning Zhao Ling'er.
Li Mochou saw Zhao Hao's distracted appearance and a strange light flashed in her eyes.
"Junior Sister, when our Master passed away, I was far away and could not return in time. I hope you will give me a chance to enter the ancient tomb and pay my respects to our Master." Li Mochou tried to make her tone as sincere as possible.
The person who could make Zhao Hao lose his composure and whom Li Mochou called "Junior Sister" was naturally Xiaolongnü.
Xiaolongnü is innocent and naive, not understanding the ways of the world, but she is kind-hearted and naturally not a match for Li Mochou.
Li Mochou's words were reasonable, and Xiaolongnü could not refute them.
"Since it's to pay respects to our Master, you may enter, but the man cannot enter the tomb." Xiaolongnü said.
According to the rules of the Ancient Tomb Sect, men are forbidden to enter. Yang Guo was able to enter the tomb only by chance, as Sun Po used her life to make it possible. Additionally, Yang Guo was still young, which is why Xiaolongnü made an exception.
Zhao Hao clearly did not have this privilege.
Zhao Hao bowed to Xiaolongnü and said, "Miss, you and Immortal Li have not seen each other for a long time. Go and talk. I will wait outside for the two of you."
Zhao Hao had no intention of breaking the rules of the Ancient Tomb Sect. He had no conflict with the sect and did not plan to have any in the future, so he did not want to upset Xiaolongnü.
"Mo Chou, once you enter, sincerely repent. With your skills, it won't be difficult to rejoin the Ancient Tomb Sect. The *Jade Maiden Heart Sutra* will naturally be yours. Your Master has already passed away, so bowing to a dead person shouldn't be too difficult, right?" Zhao Hao whispered.
"I understand." Li Mochou nodded.
"Remember, don't use force. You've been away from the Ancient Tomb Sect for decades and are not familiar with the traps and secret passages. Even with my help, you might not be able to defeat Xiaolongnü, who knows the terrain, let alone obtain the *Jade Maiden Heart Sutra* from her." Zhao Hao said.
"Don't worry, I know the gravity of the situation." Li Mochou agreed and disappeared into the tomb entrance with Xiaolongnü.
Zhao Hao's gaze was deep, and he thought of Zhao Ling'er, who was far away in Lin'an.
Is she doing well?
Zhao Hao did not know that after Li Mochou entered the Ancient Tomb Sect, the situation between her and Xiaolongnü became very strange.
The two were far apart, and Li Mochou adopted a defensive posture from the start, without any pretense.
This posture is usually adopted by the weaker party. However, Li Mochou did so without hesitation, and her expression was even more vigilant than when she was in front of Zhao Hao.
"Senior Sister, what are you doing? This posture is too hurtful to your junior sister." Xiaolongnü said.
"I have never had a junior sister, nor have I heard that our Master took on any disciples. You can command Sun Po, know about the Living Dead Tomb and my background, and even spread rumors about a martial arts competition for marriage. Who are you, and what do you want?" Li Mochou said coldly.
"You are wrong. I am your junior sister. Remember, I am your junior sister. My name is Xiaolongnü." Xiaolongnü's eyes flashed with a strange light.
Li Mochou was momentarily dazed, then snapped back to her senses and said angrily, "You used a mental attack on me."
Li Mochou had roamed the martial world for decades, with a will as strong as iron, making her more resistant to mental attacks.
Xiaolongnü's eyes flashed with a hint of disappointment, but it quickly disappeared. She then said, "Li Mochou is indeed Li Mochou. Come in, I will explain everything to you."
Li Mochou followed Xiaolongnü to a spacious room and saw a familiar figure.
"Sun Po."
"Miss."
Both Li Mochou and Sun Po were somewhat excited.
In Li Mochou's childhood, her Master was cold and focused on cultivation, making the Ancient Tomb Sect very desolate. Li Mochou was practically raised by Sun Po, and their bond was much deeper than outsiders could imagine.
Although Li Mochou had changed a lot over the past few decades, seeing Sun Po, who had raised her, still warmed her heart.
There are always some people who cannot be erased from memory.
Even the most heinous demon has a soft spot in their heart.
"Sun Po, are you okay?" Li Mochou examined Sun Po from head to toe.
Sun Po had sent a message to her, asking her to cooperate with Zhao Hao and not to defy him. This news had shocked Li Mochou.
Zhao Hao did not know that there were many things behind this that he was not yet aware of.
If it weren't for Sun Po, Li Mochou would not have complied so easily.
Sun Po glanced at Xiaolongnü, her eyes filled with both fear and admiration.
"I'm fine, Miss Long has been very kind to me." Sun Po said.
Li Mochou could tell that Sun Po was not being entirely honest, but she could not refute it.
Because Sun Po's aura had grown much stronger, and her vitality was several times that of an ordinary old person.
There was no doubt that this was all due to Xiaolongnü.
Although Sun Po might be just a pawn to Xiaolongnü, she was not a disposable one.
"Sun Po, you may go down first. I have some things to discuss with Miss Long." Although Xiaolongnü had not shown any ill intent, Li Mochou did not dare to be careless.
Sun Po hesitated but finally said, "Miss, Miss Long is a noble person and has no ill intentions toward our Ancient Tomb Sect. Try not to conflict with her."
Li Mochou's heart stirred, knowing that this was Sun Po's subtle warning. It seemed that Xiaolongnü's identity was not simple and might be on par with Zhao Hao.
Moreover, Zhao Hao's reaction to Xiaolongnü had also made Li Mochou suspicious.
There must be many interesting things going on. However, Li Mochou had not yet decided whether to continue investigating.
As an experienced martial artist, Li Mochou knew that sometimes the more you know, the faster you die.
After Sun Po's figure disappeared, Xiaolongnü took out a book and placed it on the stone table, saying, "Help me put on a show, and this will be yours."
Li Mochou's eyes immediately fixed on the book.
The *Jade Maiden Heart Sutra*.
PS: I deliberated for a long time and decided to write it this way. If I only wrote about Xiaolongnü, it would be easy to make her a mere decoration. This is not what I want.
