Chapter 1026 – Blazing Yang Wine
Holy Court.
When the Wine Sage saw Ji Mo Ya again, no matter how thick-skinned the Wine Sage could be, he still felt slightly embarra.s.sed.
He did not think much at that time, feeling that it was only a few more days of difference, nothing would happen!
Yet it unexpectedly led to Brat Ya losing his wife and child.
Especially when he learned that the lady now possessed the only Phoenix Spirit Treasure in the continent, a perfect match for Brat Ya.
Yet their relationship was wrecked!
This was such a huge loss!
Let alone that the source of the disaster, Bai Li Zi Xi, had been rescued right under his nose.
This caused his millennium-old face to be utterly lost.
That was why he was feeling very gloomy.
However, he was a man who dares to act and face the repercussions head-on, he asked: “Is there any room to turnaround the situation? Why not this old man make a trip and clarify things for you?”
Sigh, harming the relationship of others is a sin!
Ji Mo Ya did not reject: “Little Yan has entered seclusion, but if the time comes, this Junior will inform Lord Wine Sage.”
Only with that did Wine Sage felt slightly a.s.sured.
And also focused on the main matter.
The Wine Sage felt embarra.s.sed again, he was supposed to guard the dungeon, yet he allowed Bai Li Zi Xi to escape.
Although Bai Li Zi Xi was the Saintess of the Holy Court and was very familiar with the Holy Court.
Her cultivation has been destroyed and firmly locked up amongst the contraptions and spell formations within the dungeon, she couldn’t had escaped if she were alone.
Moreover, he was drunk at that time and did not detect any disturbances, this in itself was a suspicious point.
Despite sending several groups to investigate, no traces of external influences could be detected; that was why they were sure that Bai Li Zi Xi’s escape was due to aid from within.
Firstly, they investigated the wines that could cause the Wine Sage to become drunk, the wines were all from within the cellars of the Holy Court and had never caused any problems.
Therefore, the only thing left was the Blazing Yang Wine from Mu Rong Xin Nuo.
Mu Rong Xin Nuo’s activity that day was quickly investigated and reported, it was indeed true that she was with Madam Ru that day which led to her visit to the Holy Court.
Madam Ru was locked up in a Spirit Sealing Formation, her cultivation was restricted and no one was sent to serve her; benefits such as luxurious clothing, items, and food were also taken away.
She must cook by herself if she wants to eat or drink and she was also forced to record a sutra once daily. For a person used to being lofty and arrogant, such a life was literally a living h.e.l.l to Madam Ru.
She had begged the Clan Patriarch multiple times without result, the Ji Mo Clan held strong complaints towards her because she had caused the Ji Mo Clan to suffer in a bid to satisfy her own desires. The only reason they kept her alive was because of Ji Mo Ya and his deceased father.
Mu Rong Xin Nuo is the niece of Madam Ru, the former has been staying within the Ji Mo Clan, next to Madam Ru’s place, and has heard Madam Ru’s angry ravings that bordered on the verge to madness.
Mu Rong Xin Nuo finally mustered the courage and obtained an opportunity to meet Madam Ru, who forced Mu Rong Xin Nuo to think of a method to free her from her predicament.
How was Mu Rong Xin Nuo able to think up a solution? She was a person who had relied on Madam Ru to stay in the Ji Mo Clan; now that Madam Ru has fallen from grace and her close aides were all gotten rid by the Ji Mo Clan, there was no one she could use as well.
It was thanks to Madam Ru reminding Mu Rong Xin Nuo that the Wine Sage was good to Ji Mo Ya and for her to get a flask of good wine to beg the Wine Sage for help. Maybe the Wine Sage would help lessen her predicament for the sake of Ji Mo Ya.
Madam Ru might be under house arrest, but her personal items were not taken away, amongst the items were several vats of good wine that the Nan Gong Clan had sent when they established a marriage agreement with the Mu Rong Clan.
She wanted Mu Rong Xin Nuo to bring one of those wines to request help from the Wine Sage.
Mu Rong Xin Nuo was afraid to do so, but when Madam Ru cried and begged her, Mu Rong Xin Nuo became soft-hearted and eventually agreed.
