Chapter 167
The long snake's tail behind Meng Po, was flicking unhurriedly with its tail tip, "I can tell you, but you have to do one thing for me."

Fan Wu She said viciously, "You are playing with us."

"Hehe." Meng Po laughed coldly, "Not only do I know what he said in his previous life, I also know ..." She looked at Xie Bi An, "why Heaven Master took you as his disciple."

Xie Bi An's body shook.

"What, you've never thought about it before? There are plenty of orphans under the sky, and those who want to pay respect to Zhong Kui as their master are as numerous as carps in the river, so why would he bring you back even at the risk of breaking the laws of the Underworld?"

Fan Wu She looked at Xie Bi An. In fact, he also knew it long ago.

"You mean ..." Xie Bi An said in a trembling voice, "Master knew who I was in my previous life a long time ago?" How could that be? Master had always told him that he was just the son of an ordinary farmer, and had only passed through the area when he was traveling around the world. He saw that he had excellent roots and was lonely with no one to depend on, that's why he had the idea of taking on a disciple. However, when recalling the strange behavior of his master in the past, for example, firmly opposing them from approaching Qi Meng Sheng twice, and this time even going so far as to seal them in Heaven Master Palace with a boundary, it would make sense if his master knew about it long ago.

"Meng Cao Lao, tell me, tell me everything you know!" Xie Bi An shouted.

Meng Po said coldly, "Do one thing for me."

"What thing?"

Fan Wu She blocked Xie Bi An's chest with his backhand, stopping him from being too impulsive: "How do we know that you are not swindling us? A matter that even you, Meng Po, can't do, is bound to not be so simple."

"As you wish."

"Tell us first, what exactly do you want us to do?" Xie Bi An said, "We still have to rush to save our master. If it's too much of a delay, then, so be it."

"Go to Jiang Qu Lian's Red Palace and get something for me. He has been away from the Underworld for the past two days."

"You're asking us to steal something for you?"

"That thing originally belonged to my Nǚwa Clan." Meng Po's gaze was extremely grim, "This is called returning something to its rightful owner."

"We're not going, no matter what it is." Xie Bi An pulled Fan Wu She's hand, "Let's go." The Red Palace is not a food market, how can they come and go as they please? And he doesn't want to offend Jiang Qu Lian in case they were exposed. Besides, it was more important to save master, so why not ask him directly about his doubts?

The two men turned around and left.

"He mentioned his younger brother." Meng Po's old voice rang out slowly.

The two men braked once again.

"Most people talk about themselves, or their parents, husband or wife, or children. This Emperor Kong Hua is really different. He actually mentioned his younger brother who caused him to die." Meng Po chuckled, "His greatest regret in this life actually came from his greatest enemy in life?"

Fan Wu She slowly turned around. His eyes fiercely glaring at Meng Po. During big brother's final moment, he actually thought of him?! What exactly did big brother say? He had to know, no matter what!

Xie Bi An couldn't stop palpitating. He wanted to pull his junior brother and leave, but his feet could not move as if they had taken root. Why should he care what Zong Zi Heng had said before he drank Meng Po Soup? Rationality told him he didn't need to know, and that it was none of his business, but he actually hesitated.
