Although Zhao Ling knew that Meng Yuan would definitely find a way to save her, what she didn't expect was that Meng Yuan invited the elder of the Momen who had long since escaped in order to clear her name.

Momen had been famous for its strange techniques since ancient times. When Emperor Taizu of Dasheng fought against the previous dynasty and fought for the Central Plains, he received great help from the Momen faction. 

The Emperor Taizu was grateful and gave him to Mo after the world was settled. The door "the first door in the world" royal plaque, and inscribed the preface in the book "Mo's Rare Stories" written by the founder of the Mohist school, to show the recognition and respect for the Momen.

This "Mo Clan Rare Record" contained all kinds of strange techniques passed down by the Mo family, including the pupil technique.

Therefore, when Mo Qingshan presented this ancient book handed down from generations of Momen to Emperor Ming, Emperor Ming had nothing to say.

Since Emperor Taizu wrote an inscription on the book, it meant that he recognizes the legitimacy of the strange arts contained in the book. If he characterized the pupil technique as a witchcraft, wouldn't he be hitting Emperor Taizu in the face?

Therefore, without saying a word, Emperor Ming immediately ordered Zhao Ling to be released from the prison.

In the early morning of the second day after she was released from the Heavenly Prison, in the empty hall of the Xuanwang Mansion, Zhao Ling met the long-famous Elder Mo for the first time.

Elder Mo was more than fifty years old, wearing a gray robe, with a kind and clear face, only a pair of deep eyes could faintly reveal a sharp and shrewd color. Because of the excessive mourning for the loss of his beloved daughter seven years ago, his temples were stained with frosty white, prematurely, showing an old age that was somewhat inconsistent with his age.

This was the number one sect in the world with a long history and a long-standing reputation, and the highest man in charge of Mo Sect was Mo Qingshan, known as Elder Mo.

Since the death of the first head of Momen, Liuyun, Momen had not set up another head, but instead the elders are responsible for specific affairs. To Mo Qingshan, it was already the fifth term.

Mo Qingshan's sharp eyes slowly swept across the woman in front of him who had greeted him with a gentle and calm gaze, stroked the beard on his chin, and nodded approvingly. 

Seeing that Meng Yuan had been holding her hand firmly and refused to let go, there was a joking smile in his eyes. "You are the eldest lady of the Zhao residence, Yuan'er's future princess? It's not bad, no wonder Yuan'er looks at you differently."

As the highest authority in Mo Sect, Mo Qingshan had always been used to issuing orders. Although his face was kind, his tone had a natural highness to it.

To be able to become the elder of the first sect in the world, there must be something special about him. Just by looking at his wise and far-reaching eyes, Zhao Ling knew that this elder of the ink sect was worthy of respect.

Hearing the sarcasm in his tone, she glanced helplessly at the hand that Meng Yuan was clasping tightly, but she said in a generous and unpretentious manner: "The elder is too polite, just call me Ling or Ling'er. The road from Momen to the capital is a long way, and the elder must be tried now."

Being able to rush from Shandong to the capital in such a short period of time must have been a non-stop journey day and night. Zhao Ling was grateful and sincerely thanked him.

It was just Meng Yuan, was it necessary to keep holding her hand like this and refuse to let go, so that she won't be blown away by the wind?

After she got out of the prison yesterday, this fellow wanted to take her directly to the Xuanwang Mansion. 

He looked at her with a blank expression, and said softly. "Ling'er, isn't Xuanwang Mansion our home?"

Although it was very useful to hear this, she still maintained her sanity and was not confused by his sweet voice and words.

Elder Mo traveled thousands of miles to help her get out of trouble, and she should have gone to see her as soon as possible. But after staying in prison for so many days, she hadn't been properly groomed, so she had to see Elder Mo so disheveled, and even she herself felt ashamed.

Therefore, she felt that it would be more appropriate to go back to the Duke's Mansion to freshen up and wash away the musty smell, and then go to the Xuanwang Mansion to thank Elder Mo.

In the end, this king pestered her, and after spending a long time in the carriage, he finally let her go back to the mansion, causing Madam Xu and Luzhu to wait outside the mansion gate and they were so anxious that they almost rushed to the mansion of Xuanwang to bring her home.

Their young lady had been in prison for so many days for no reason, and they were also very worried, okay?

Zhao Ling really convinced Meng Yuan. Even she herself couldn't stand the smell on her body, but this guy didn't care about it, he actually liked it. Could it be that he not only lost his sense of taste, but also lost his sense of smell?

Seeing that Zhao Ling was neither humble nor arrogant, and generous, Mo Qingshan nodded in agreement with himself. Looking at this pretty face in front of him, he couldn't help but think of his daughter Mo Yan, who had a poor life and died unexpectedly, and a bit of sadness appeared on his thin and vicissitude face.

Mo Yan was his only daughter. He had grown old to have a daughter, and his wife died of dystocia. The father and daughter had always depended on each other. He worked hard to raise his daughter, and Yan'er lived up to his expectations. She was beautiful and intelligent, and many Momen disciples belonged to her.

He had planned to betroth her to Meng Yuan, but Yaner fell in love with Yin Zhan. What made him even more heartbroken was that Yan'er would be accidentally injured and killed by Yin Zhan.

If he hadn't taken in Yin Zhan back then, would his daughter have died unexpectedly? Every time he thought of this, his heart hurt.
