172 A Definite Fall to Death (2/2)

”Sir, do you need me to do it for you? I assure you it will be executed cleanly.”

The old man in black said and immediately lowered his head and bent over in an attempt to suck up to him. He looked as though as he was a lowly servant.

”You, move aside.”

Mo Wen looked askance at the old man in black and did not bother about him. He minded his own business as he walked over to the Blood Lingzhi Mushroom. After examining it for a while, he took out a small dagger from his backpack and moved it left and right. Then, with a pull, he managed to tug the Blood Lingzhi down from the wall.

Seeing as Mo Wen had plucked the Blood Lingzhi Mushroom so careleesly, the old man in black widened his eyes. His entire body froze for a moment and a look of heartache flashed through his eyes. That was the Blood Lingzhi Mushroom! He had actually just plucked it off like that. Initially, the him who still had hope for the Blood Lingzhi Mushroom immediately felt like giving up.

It was the end, that stalk of Blood Lingzhi Mushroom had been destroyed completely in that youth's hand.

Meanwhile, Xu Qianqian let out a sigh of relief. After plucking the Blood Lingzhi Mushroom, it meant that Mo Wen would not kill her anymore just to irrigate that horrendous herbal medicine.

Mo Wen patted the dust off his hand and threw that stalk of Blood Lingzhi into his backpack.

The eyes of the old man in black widened and his mouth fell open. He could only look at Mo Wen, stunned.

Just now, why had that stalk of Blood Lingzhi not been reduced to ashes immediately, how could it be?

”Could it be that something had gone wrong somewhere? Or that stalk of medicinal material was not the Blood Lingzhi Mushroom in the first place? That was also not possible, he had already kept watch for over 10 years so it could not have been wrong.

”That Blood Lingzhi Mushroom, how did you…”

The old man in black pointed at Mo Wen and could not say anything for a long time.

”Who told you that plucking a Blood Lingzhi required the blood from the ventricle of a virgin? Makes no sense.”

Mo Wen smiled uncaringly. That Medicine Manor was probably also not very established so it had not impressed him.

Now, his outlook on things was not like that of before. In the past, his goal had been to become an ancient martial art practitioner who surpassed the peak of the Golden Elixir realm. However, currently, his aim was to become an immortal. Although that step would be very difficult, he would definitely try his very best.

”Mo Wen, you…”

Xu Qianqian pointed at Mo Wen and was speechless for quite a while. Her entire face had turned red and the two little bumps on her chest were rising and falling. She was very angry and unhappy at the moment.

At this point, she had already understood. Mo Wen had been teasing her purposely beforehand.

This b*stard… son of a b*tch… bad egg… how could he be so bad…

Xu Qianqian felt so wronged that her tears started flowing again. Previously, she had been frightened thoroughly. He really knew how to bully people.

”What do you mean by ”you”! You don't know how to be grateful at all. I had taken such a huge risk you know. If whatever that old man said was true, a stalk of sacred medicine would have been destroyed. And this is a priceless treasure at that.”

Mo Wen walked over to Xu Qianqian and patted her head. He said with a look that conveyed how much hard work he had put in as he said, ”I'm so good to you. I would rather take the risk of that stalk of sacred medicine being destroyed than kill you. I had treated money like muck and put our friendship first. Can there still be a better person in this world? Shouldn't you be grateful instead?”

The corner of the mouth of the old man in black twitched a little and he was speechless as he rolled his eyes. Even a three-year-old child would not believe such words. Yet, this lad could say it so shamelessly.

Xu Qianqian let out a light humph and turned her head to one side fiercely. Internally, she scolded him as ”shameless”. It would be a joke if she believed Mo Wen's words.

”Sir, now that the Blood Lingzhi Mushroom is already in your hands, are you going to let me off already?”

The old man in black stepped forward and said as he bowed non-stop.

”Let you off?”

Mo Wen raised his eyebrows and had on a pensive expression.

”Don't let him off. This old man is cunning and deceitful. He is not a good person. He will definitely take revenge on you in the future.”

Xu Qianqian glared at the old man in black fiercely. This old man had used her father's illness as a reason to lure her to the Changbai Mountain, with the motive of killing her to obtain her blood and harvest the medicine. Not only were her hopes of curing her father's illness dashed, she had also been put into a situation that had endangered her life. He was simply a shameless and cunning old man.

”Don't let him off?”

Mo Wen rotated his head and appeared indecisive.

”I won't take revenge, please believe me. Sir, you are so powerful. Even if I have 100 guts, I still would not dare to take revenge on you.”

Internally, the old man in black had scolded Xu Qianqian hundreds and thousands of times. A woman's heart was the cruel. Indeed, women could not be offended as they bore grudges.

Only a ghost would believe you.

Xu Qianqian glared at the old man in black coldly and said.

”What should I do with him then, if I don't let him off?”

Mo Wen stretched his hands and looked at Xu Qianqian, looking as though he had no idea how to deal with it.

Upon hearing that, Xu Qianqian had also appeared rather vexed. Could they lock the old man in black in the cave such that he would not be able to come out forever?

”Or we could, throw him…”

Xu Qianqian pointed out of the cave then pointed downwards. She was helping Mo Wen come up with a plan. Her gestures naturally meant to throw the old man in black down the cliff. Previously, Mo Wen had demonstrated once and she had remembered.

”What if, he doesn't die from the fall?” Mo Wen rotated his head, a little vexed at the problem.

”It's so high, he will definitely fall to his death.”

The mouth of the old man in black twitched a little. He had actually hoped for Mo Wen to throw him down the cliff. At least, he would have some chance of survival. If Mo Wen had directly attacked to kill him, he would have no hope at all.

Hence, he was now hoping that Mo Wen would take up Xu Qianqian's suggestion and throw him down the cliff.
