Chapter 406 Competition
From the moment Lin Moshi stepped into the entrance of the Divine Forest Palace, Emperor Yuan Shun felt Lin Moshi's divine power. He stopped what he was doing and spoke to Lin Moshi in a cold tone.
"In this desolate world! I pay my respects to Emperor Yuan Shun...!"
Lin Moshi lifted his clothes, quickly walked to the front of the main hall, knelt down, and performed a kowtow.
"Shenyuan, is there any news...?"
Emperor Yuan Shun picked up the magnolia flower in his hand and continued to fiddle with it. He asked Lin Moshi, seemingly casually, but instead of telling Lin Moshi to get up and answer, he made Lin Moshi continue to kneel.
Emperor Yuan Shun smelled the freshly pruned magnolia in his hand, raised his head, and asked Lin Moshi with a meaningful tone.
"...!"
Lin Moshi bowed his head, and when he heard Emperor Yuan Shun ask about the Divine Source, he looked embarrassed and at a loss. He dared not answer and continued to kneel with his head down.
Lin Moshi hadn't figured out how to answer Emperor Yuan Shun's question yet, and for a moment, he didn't know how to start.
"What...? Not answering...?"
Emperor Yuan Shun held a magnolia flower in his hand and continued to fiddle with it. He glanced at Lin Moshi and pressed him for answers.
"Father Emperor...! Divine Source...! Divine Source...!"
Lin Moshi hesitated for a long time, unable to give a clear answer. He was afraid that if he spoke up, something bad might happen, or that it might affect other innocent people.
"What's wrong? Is there news about Shenyuan...? Or not...?"
Emperor Yuan Shun looked at Lin Mo Shi for a long time without being able to explain himself, and thought that Lin Mo Shi was deliberately challenging his authority.
Emperor Yuan Shun raised his voice and pressed Lin Moshi for answers.
Emperor Yuan Shun's expression turned serious, and his tone became even more sharp.
"The source of the divine power, the clues to the source of the divine power, have been lost."
Under Emperor Yuan Shun's persistent questioning, after a period of internal struggle, Lin Moshi decided to tell the truth. Thus, Lin Moshi answered Emperor Yuan Shun's questions directly and without reservation.
"Your answer is quite decisive...! What? Does what you're saying mean you're not in a hurry anymore? Or have you given up on finding the Divine Source...?"
After hearing Lin Moshi's words, Emperor Yuan Shun's eyes became even sharper. He glanced at Lin Moshi and spoke with a mocking tone.
Emperor Yuan Shun's cold and sarcastic tone made Lin Moshi increasingly worried. He continued to fiddle with the magnolia in his hand and calmly asked Lin Moshi his question.
"Child, I dare not...!"
Lin Moshi sensed a threat from Emperor Yuan Shun's words. He swallowed hard and nervously replied to Emperor Yuan Shun.
"It seems the zither seller didn't teach you how to respond properly?"
Emperor Yuan Shun sensed a different emotion in Lin Moshi's reply. He suddenly put down the white orchid in his hand, turned to Lin Moshi, and said something that displeased him.
When the fairy maiden beside him saw Emperor Yuan Shun, she put down the white orchid in her hand and quickly handed him a basin of clean water. Emperor Yuan Shun put his hands in the water and washed them.
The fairy maiden handed him a handkerchief. Emperor Yuan Shun took the handkerchief, wiped his hands clean, and then tossed the handkerchief back to the fairy maiden. She took the handkerchief and withdrew.
Emperor Yuan Shun smoothed out his sleeves again, turned to look at Lin Moshi, and walked over to the kneeling Lin Moshi.
"Father Emperor...! This matter has nothing to do with Zheng Shang...!"
When Lin Moshi heard Emperor Yuanshun's words, his fears came true. He frowned, looked up in a panic, and spoke to Emperor Yuanshun in a different tone.
