Chapter 71 My Guess
Zheng Tao's words were calm but firm.
It was true that Mo Qingkuang was a good seedling, who was good at both literature and martial arts, and had a smart mind. He even had a dispute with his long-time confidant Hua Ge over Mo Qingkuang's teaching rights.
But Mo Qingkuang's words deeply disappointed him.
He was upright and did not like to be a sly person. He did not expect that the only disciple he accepted was such a narrow-minded person.
In his opinion, the reason why Mo Qingkuang attacked Wang Xiang was because he had a grudge with Wang Yu in the literary fight just now, and he was afraid that Wang Yu would use the power behind him to fight back.
Therefore, he poured a basin of dirty water on Wang Xiang to cover himself with a layer of umbrella.
In order to protect himself, he insulted a person with noble character and devoted to the country. Such behavior is really shameful.
In Zheng Tao's heart, his feelings towards Mo Qingkuang had been reduced to the extreme, and he even had the idea of expelling him from the sect immediately.
Mo Qingkuang was neither arrogant nor humble, and was calm and composed.
He was not panicked because he might be expelled from the sect by his newly recognized master in the blink of an eye.
He shook his head: "Junior knows the status of Wang Xiang in Tianxuan and in everyone's heart. But in fact, he is really a spy of Lan Yan."
"Are you still going to be stubborn? Boy, everyone in the world knows what kind of person Wang Xiang is! Our Imperial College and the secret guards in the palace have also investigated everything in Wang Xiang's life, including when he ate what and what he said, and there are records!" Hua Ge gritted his teeth and said coldly.
"These are all recorded in the files of the Imperial College. Do you want to put Wang Xiang's flawless resume in front of you before you are willing to admit that you are talking nonsense?"
Facing Hua Ge's cold eyes, Mo Qingkuang smiled: "Dean Hua, you are also a person who has lived for hundreds of years. I dare to ask, is there any flawless person in this world?"
"Dean Hua! No one is perfect! When a person has no flaws, that is the biggest flaw!" Mo Qingkuang stared at Hua Ge's eyes fearlessly, word by word.
"You..." Hua Ge was shocked by Mo Qingkuang's boldness. Wasn't he afraid of death?
However, Mo Qingkuang's words were like spring thunder, shaking his heart.
Yes, there is no perfect person in the world?
He Hua Ge, both civil and military, but he was unruly and unrestrained, cherished his face, and tried his best to maintain his handsome appearance when he was young.
Zheng Tao, who was beside him, was upright, but he didn't know how to adapt. He was blindly loyal and often got the opposite of what he wanted.
There were many people in the court who had more or less various shortcomings about money, power, sex, etc.
Only Wang Xiang was not greedy for money. He lived a poor life, was not greedy or corrupt, and although his salary was high, he was not extravagant.
There were not many servants in the family, and he often helped the poor people, and strictly prohibited the family from doing business.
Although he doted on his grandson Wang Yu, he didn't spoil him too much.
Don't look at Wang Yu wearing a gorgeous dress for the banquet today. In fact, Hua Ge knows that it is Wang Yu's best set of clothes, which was made of cloth given by the palace on Wang Xiang's 120th birthday last year.
Wang Xiang is in a high position, but he does not abuse his power. He never tolerates corruption and supports the honest younger generations.
In addition, Wang Xiang has only one wife in his life. She was promised to him in the countryside before high school. After she died many years ago, Wang Xiang never remarried.
Such a perfect person, no one would think that he is a spy of the Blue Flame Empire!
Although Mo Qingkuang's suggestion that no one is perfect did cast a shadow on Wang Hua, Hua Ge still didn't want to believe it.
"Besides the far-fetched excuse that no one is perfect, do you have any solid evidence?" Zheng Tao is not a fool. In the blink of an eye, he thought of a lot like Hua Ge, and his tone was quietly softened. However, there is still a strong suspicion between his eyebrows.
Seeing this, Mo Qingkuang calmed down and continued according to Mo Fan's instructions: "Not only is there a reason that no one is perfect, but also, I heard that Wang Xiang also has the king-level cultivation, right?"
"Yes."
"An ordinary warrior from a poor family needs how many resources to cultivate to the king level. You two should know better than me."
"As far as I know, Wang Xiang comes from a poor family. Even if he spends all his family's wealth, it is not enough for him to study, so how can he have extra money to practice martial arts?"
"So, Wang Xiang should not have had any martial arts cultivation before he became the top scholar in high school, right?"
"Then, after the age of sixteen, it is far beyond the best time to practice martial arts, and his bones have been formed. How did Wang Xiang cultivate to the level of martial king in just a hundred years when he was clean-handed and devoted to handling political affairs for the country and the people? Is he the spirit body with a legendary bone that exceeds the heaven-level bone?"
Mo Qingkuang spoke slowly, but Hua Ge and Zheng Tao were shocked.
It turns out that they have known each other for many years, but they have selectively forgotten that Wang Xiang was a top scholar in the examination as an ordinary person who does not know martial arts.
He did not build his foundation at the best time between the ages of six and sixteen.
But his cultivation level has been catching up again and again, and he even caught up with Zheng Tao and the other three of the golden generation.
Hua Ge and Zheng Tao's hearts began to waver. They knew that Wang Xiang was not a spirit body, nor a heaven-level root bone, but just an earth-level one.
In the past, he had to devote himself to political affairs. In theory, the time he spent on cultivation was even less than that of the others.
Why can Wang Xiang break through again and again, and even approach Zheng Tao and others?
This is a doubt that will be discovered.
In the plot originally set by Mo Fan, the first person to discover it was Hua Ge.
But it was too late. At that time, Wang Hua's cultivation was no less than that of the three of them, and the time for the war of annihilation was ripe.
In the end, Wang Hua became the greatest hero, was welcomed back to Blue Flame, and received rewards.
Now Mo Fan just said it in advance through Mo Qingkuang's mouth.
Even if he didn't say it now, Hua Ge himself would find something wrong two years later.
"Therefore, I can assert that there must be a huge organization behind Wang Xiang to provide him with resources! Moreover, he had already built his foundation when he was young, but he never showed it!" Mo Qingkuang vowed.
Now, he has successfully shaken Hua Ge and Zheng Tao's trust in Wang Hua.
"In addition to this, is there any more definite evidence? For example, the evidence, location, or contact personnel of his contact with the organization that provided resources behind him?" Hua Ge asked after a long silence.
It is undeniable that he was really shaken, and even the "Wang Xiang" he used to respectfully address was replaced by "he".
"No, how would I know these things? With my low level of cultivation, what can I know?" Mo Qingkuang rolled his eyes.
"I'm afraid that I'll be silenced before I get to the bottom of it. These are all my guesses. If you two seniors don't believe me, just pretend that I never said anything."
