Chapter 780 Elusive

Xingqing and Xingyu were born in extraordinary families and were in danger of death, so they only showed their true faces to Lin Mu, and then changed their faces again, which was different from before.

But the two of them were fine this time, they all looked like female cultivators. Although they didn't look as beautiful as fairies in their real appearance, they were still elegant and refined.

After reuniting with Xu Jiao and Hua Jin, they were both very excited.

"Caught?" Xu Jiao looked at Xingqing and Xingyu sisters and asked in surprise, "Are they liars?"

"They look different from the portraits. Could they have been disguised before?" Hua Jin also guessed.

"They are indeed the ones who sold the fake jade slips, but now we have shaken hands and made peace. We will be friends in the future. You should get closer to them." Lin Mu said with a smile.

"Become friends?" Xu Jiao exclaimed, "They have destroyed our reputation so much that we have almost lost all our previous efforts. They have made such a big mistake and deserved to die!"

"Not really?" Lin Mu touched his nose and said, "Am I so petty?"

Xu Jiao immediately disapproved and said, "Now you are pretending to be a good person. I remember that in Linhai City before, there was a Return to Void cultivator who made trouble. You killed him with a sword without saying a word! The mistakes made by these two scammers are much more serious than that Return to Void cultivator. Why did you let them go?"

Hua Jin also followed and said, "I guess Senior Brother didn't kill them because he saw that they were beautiful and couldn't bear to kill them?"

As she spent more time with Lin Mu, she gradually became cheerful, and occasionally even joked with Lin Mu like Xu Jiao.

"I think that's it!" Xu Jiao said, "A guy who forgets his loyalty when he sees a beautiful woman."

Lin Mu looked at the two people singing the same tune and felt extremely wronged.

"You think too much, it's not like that at all." Lin Mu said hurriedly, "Before I decided to let them go, I didn't know they were female cultivators, and even at the beginning I didn't know she had a sister."

"This excuse is too fake, who would believe it!" Xu Jiao said in disbelief, "I thought you were devoted to Taoism, not involved in love affairs, and not addicted to beauty. You can barely be considered a gentleman. I didn't expect that you are the same kind of people as those men, forgetting your principles for the sake of beauty. You said you could endure such a big loss. You are really generous and upright!"

Lin Mu blushed with shame and couldn't help saying, "I let them go, why are you so angry?"

"We just can't stand it." Hua Jin supported Xu Jiao, "This is for the purpose of justice."

As soon as they met, Xu Jiao and Hua Jin accused Lin Mu in person, and Xing Qing and Xing Yu were embarrassed.

Xing Qing loves self-esteem very much, and Xu Jiao and Hua Jin's words are like a slap in her face.

She was naturally not a pushover, and immediately said, "I have already made a promise to marry Lin Mu."

"What?"

Xu Jiao exploded when she heard this.

"So that's how it is. You really are a womanizer." Xu Jiao looked at Lin Mu and couldn't help saying.

"How is she better than me? You just met, and she has caused you such a big loss, and you actually want to marry her directly." Xu Jiao became more and more angry, with mist in her eyes, "You are so heartless!"

What's the connection?

Lin Mu suddenly felt caught off guard.

He brought Xing Qing and Xing Yu directly to meet Xu Jiao and Hua Jin, and never thought that such a scene would happen.

Is this jealousy?

Even if it is jealousy, this is too exaggerated, right?

As soon as they met, they were tit-for-tat and refused to give in.

Lin Mu felt very aggrieved instantly.

What did he do to offend anyone? He obviously did nothing, so how come he is now considered to be guilty of a heinous crime?

There is nothing between him and Xu Jiao, and they are pure and innocent. He and Xing Qing have just met, but if it is seen by outsiders, they must think that Xu Jiao and Xing Qing are both very affectionate with him.

This misunderstanding has become bigger!

"This is a misunderstanding!" Lin Mu said seriously, "Stop being unreasonable."

"In my opinion, Xu Jiao has always been like a little sister, like a child who never grows up. Don't compete with her. She speaks without restraint, and even I can't do anything about her." Lin Mu then whispered to Xing Qing, "Just be generous and don't add fuel to the fire. I will not tell anyone about your sisters' origins, so you can rest assured."

"Then tell me, where did I misunderstand you?" Xu Jiao didn't care about Lin Mu's expression, and still said coquettishly.

"Xing Qing did say that she admired me because I was handsome and elegant, and that I was rare in the world. She wanted to marry me, but I was devoted to the Tao, so she rejected him." Lin Mu said seriously.

"Just brag!" Xu Jiao said with disdain.

"This is all true. Xing Qing is here right now. If it were false, would she be so calm?" Lin Mu quickly used Xing Qing as a shield.

"He did reject me." Xing Qing cooperated very well, and her face showed a very sad and regretful look.

"You did a good job on this matter." Xu Jiao said with satisfaction, and then insisted, "But you let them go for nothing, which is definitely a betrayal. No matter how you defend yourself, it's useless."

Xing Qing's face suddenly became unhappy again when she heard this.

Lin Mu had already let them go, but this little girl's words were a matter of life and death, and she said it in front of her. She was so arrogant that I really don't know how spoiled she was.

Think about it, she and Xing Yu are also of noble birth. The Xing Clan has a certain reputation not only in the Jinxiu world, but also in other big worlds. Now that they have fallen to this point, Xu Jiao still speaks so harshly.

Seeing Xing Qing's face change again, Lin Mu hurriedly said, "This is really just a misunderstanding. Xing Qing and Xing Yu are not as evil as you think. You are being so harsh and merciless now, which is also beneath your dignity."

"I just like to get to the bottom of things. Why don't you tell me what the misunderstanding is?" Xu Jiao said with her chest puffed out, "If it is really a misunderstanding, I will apologize to the two sisters and ask for forgiveness."

Lin Mu suddenly felt a headache.

When he went to the Xu family, Hua Jin told him about Xu Jiao's rudeness. He had experienced it before, and today he understood it again.

At this point, he had to explain: "Sisters Xingqing and Xingyu suffered a great disaster, their families were destroyed, and they were hunted all the way. They wanted to find a super sect to protect them, but they needed 300 million spirit stones to become a sect, and there was only a two-month deadline. If she couldn't come up with so many spirit stones in two months, she would have to become the elder's dual cultivation furnace, so in a hurry, she sold the fake jade slips to earn spirit stones quickly."

Xu Jiao's expression couldn't help but ease a lot, and she looked at Xingqing and Xingyu with a little more sympathy.

"I think for me, it's just a loss of some credibility, but for them, it's about their future and destiny." Lin Mu said, "If other people did this, I might not forgive them, but they are a little different."

"What's the difference?" Xu Jiao couldn't help asking.

"You should have seen the fake jade slips?" Lin Mu smiled, "Is it exactly the same as the real one?"

"Indeed, it can almost be mistaken for the real one, otherwise there wouldn't be so many people who were deceived without knowing the reason." Xu Jiao said truthfully.

"My jade slips and restriction techniques are all unique to me, and it is difficult for others to steal them, but she was able to steal them perfectly." Lin Mu said excitedly, "I immediately thought that it was extremely boring and laborious for me to make the jade slips by myself. If she helped to set up the restriction, I only needed to leave a spiritual mark in the Qinglan jade, which would save a lot of trouble."

"This alone is enough to make up for the loss, right?" Lin Mu said with a smile, "When I knew what happened to them, I decided to spare their lives. If it were you, would you kill them?"

Lin Mu's sudden question caught Xu Jiao off guard and she was stunned.

Then, she reacted and shook her head quickly, saying, "No."

"That's it." Lin Mu smiled, "It was something that could be explained in a few words, but you made it so tense that even I was a little worried."

"I won't, because I am very righteous." Xu Jiao said, "You didn't kill them because you wanted to use them to help make the jade slips. Your mind is not pure at all."

"You change too fast!" Lin Mu was surprised, "Just now you complained about why I didn't kill them, and now you say that my mind is not pure. Who are you with?"

"Sister Xingqing, sister Xingyu, I was reckless just now. I offended you with my words. I hope you can forgive me. When I return to Qianjin City, I will definitely hold a banquet to apologize." Xu Jiao was able to take it and put it down. She apologized generously and sincerely and ignored Lin Mu.

"You are quick-witted, but you have good intentions. It was indeed a misunderstanding just now." Xing Qing said with a smile, "Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, we will be friends in the future. It can be said that we have known each other for a long time."

After a while, several people started to laugh and chat, looking as if they were friends who had known each other for a long time.

Such a change made Lin Mu dumbfounded.

Just now Xu Jiao ridiculed him for changing too quickly, and even forgiving those who destroyed his reputation.

As a result, she just treated Xing Qing and Xing Yu sisters as enemies and spoke harshly, but in just a moment, they were talking happily, laughing and shaking, and her chest was surging.

Women should be more fickle and unpredictable.

"After this incident, our trip to sell the jade slips has been shelved." Seeing that the girls were getting more and more interested in each other, as if they had met too late and it was hard to find a true friend, Lin Mu had to interrupt them, "Next, we have to continue selling the jade slips, starting from Yunhuan City. Xing Qing sold fake jade slips last time, and the cultivators there were hurt the most. As long as we can get the cultivators in Yunhuan City to buy the jade slips, and then sell them to cultivators in other cities, it will be much easier, and our reputation will be gradually restored soon."

"What's the hurry?" Xu Jiao said indignantly, "Do you really think of us as your servants, listening to your orders? I feel tired of selling jade slips all the time. Why don't we go back to Qianjin City and rest for a while? Sister Xing Qing and I have a lot to talk about."

"We must try to sell all the jade slips within ten days." Lin Mu said anxiously, "We can't delay any longer, or something bad will happen!"

"Why?" Xu Jiao asked puzzled.
