Chapter 3673: 4.1273 Interrogation

The Little Poker Face reached out and tugged her husband's sleeve, whispering, "It's him, he instigated your father to reschedule our wedding."

"I always feel there's something off about this person."

Mo Lian's eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze dangerously sweeping towards the Grand Preceptor who was walking through the main entrance.

He also felt that this Grand Preceptor was very strange; ordinarily, he seemed like an immortal, but it felt as if he was somehow targeting his little wife.

The Little Poker Face took a peeled sweet orange from her husband, put a segment into her mouth, and turned to look at the little monk who had already started eating with great relish.

The little fellow, with his round head and plump cheeks, was squatting beside her, each of his small paws holding a crisp biscuit. He was eating with his cheeks bulging, occasionally turning to look at her.

"Female Benefactor, later we should bring some food back for the little monkey too."

Qiao Mu nodded, took his small hand, and wiped it. "Kongkong, your Master Kongyin said he wants to see you today. When you meet him later, do you know what to tell him?"

The little monk put down his biscuit, looked at Qiao Mu with a puzzled expression, "Female Benefactor. What should this little monk tell Master Kongyin?"

A hint of a mysterious smile appeared on the Little Poker Face's taut face. "Of course, you're going to trick information out of him."

"Think about it, Zhu Fan and his wife brought you to Shenzhou, saying they were acting on the Grand Elder's orders."

"But halfway, you were attacked by a group of black-clad men. What happened there? Probably only that old bald donkey Kongyin knows clearly."

The little monk's small mouth tightened into a straight line, and he said seriously, "Female Benefactor, you called Master a bald donkey."

Mo Lian, beside them, couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. Every time he heard these two converse, he felt an urge to laugh.

Qiao Mu raised her hand and patted his smooth, bald head. "Did you remember?"

The little monk nodded. "I'll ask Master Kongyin, who were those black-clad men?"

Qiao Mu nodded. "Later, Big Sister will take you to Kongyin's table, remember to ask."

The little monk nodded his small head happily, pursing his small mouth as he asked, "Female Benefactor, can I still go back with you tonight?"

"Yes."

The little monk seemed even happier, reaching for fruit from the plate and eating it.

As long as Female Benefactor didn't just abandon him, he'd ask anything.

Before long, the belated Grand Elder Kongyin, along with several other elders from the Elder Council, also appeared.

At this moment, the Grand Preceptor had just taken his seat, turned to look at Grand Elder Kongyin and his group, and nodded slightly with a faint smile.

Kongyin stroked his long beard, looked at the Grand Preceptor, and also nodded slightly, smiling.

The Little Poker Face stood up, pulling the little monk with her.

Her movement caused everyone in the pavilion, who had been enjoying the singing and dancing, to fall silent.

Pairs of eyes immediately turned towards her.

It was truly because this Little Crown Princess was not an easy person to deal with. Remembering the last banquet, where the Little Crown Princess had caused such trouble that no one even got to drink a hot soup, the various officials couldn't help but want to cry for themselves.

The geishas who were swiftly twirling in the main hall retreated a few steps, bowing their heads to make way.

The Little Poker Face paid no attention to anyone else, directly leading the little monk to a seat next to Grand Elder Kongyin.

Grand Elder Kongyin immediately showed a benevolent smile. "Jojo, it's truly been a long time. Recently, this old monk has been busy with lecturing and debating, so it's been a while since I've spoken with you."
