287 Meeting (2/2)
That beautiful woman walked in front of Mo Wen, who was laying on the rock, and said with a grin, ”Hi handsome, are you interested in viewing the flowers and appreciating the moon together while talking about life?”
This beautiful woman was none other than Wang Yinru. She had arrived a few hours earlier than Mo Wen and had been waiting for him at the top of the mountain. After that, she realized something was wrong, as she had waited for four to five hours. Reasonably speaking, Mo Wen should also have been there, so why hadn't he looked for her?
She had gone around the top of the mountain quizzically for a while. As a result, she found Mo Wen laying on a piece of rock, sleeping like he had been there for a long time. He was obviously waiting for her to find him. Wang Yinru was angry yet amused. This b*stard simply didn't want to be disadvantaged at all.
Mo Wen took the sunhat off his head lazily and cast a strange look at Wang Yinru. Her appearance at this moment compared to how she usually looked in the Huatian Palace... the style was just way too different.
”Your attire is very fashionable.” Mo Wen curled the corners of his mouth. Women, regardless of age, loved to appear beautiful.
”What? Could I be a hick in your eyes? Let me tell you, no matter what, I used to be a fair, rich, and beautiful girl.” Wang Yinru snorted softly and pretended to stroke her hair charmingly.
Mo Wen laughed and said, ”You already said it was before. Now you are already in the mother category.”
It was a taboo to tell a woman that she was old, and Mo Wen obviously had violated the taboo. Wang Yinru's smile was wiped away instantly, and she stared at Mo Wen angrily. ”Little b*stard, you seem very idle. Could you be climbing to the top of the mountain just to sleep?”
”I just reached the top of the mountain, and I was a little tired, so I rested a bit. I was about to look for you,” Mo Wen replied with a hollow laugh.
”So now you have rested enough? Come down immediately since you have rested. Oh, that's right, you are my son now so remember to call me mom later. Good son. Let me hear you calling me mom.”
Wang Yinru began to take the opportunity to get revenge on Mo Wen. Tell her that she was too old? Seriously, it couldn't be condoned.
”You are thinking too much.” Mo Wen rolled his eyes. Wang Yinru's mental age was at most the same as his, so for him to accept her as a mother, one might as well ask him to kill himself with tofu. Moreover, a mother could be acknowledged that casually? Impersonating her son occasionally was already his bottom line.
”Anyway, you are my son now.” Wang Yinru snorted.
”If there is no serious matter and you are merely spouting nonsense, I am leaving.” Mo Wen raised his brows with a look like he was ready to leave. Anyway, he had already practiced the Cold Ice Domain, so he didn't really care if he was going to the Dafang Sect to fight for the sect leader's position. After all, whether he would get that position was still an unknown.
”Little b*stard! Could you not be so shameless?” Wang Yinru wished she could flush Mo Wen's brain down the toilet in a classic burning of one's bridges to get rid of someone after use.
”Then may I ask beautiful lady Wang to mind your words. No matter what, I am still considered to be a gentleman and also have some credibility,” Mo Wen said earnestly.
”Stop talking nonsense. Follow me.” Wang Yinru pulled Mo Wen off the rock rudely, and her face turned a little serious. They walked to a quiet, deserted area.
”The Dafang Sect is in Yandang Mountain, but it is very difficult for normal people to find the location of the Dafang Sect. Tomorrow will be the Dafang Sect's sect leader selection. By then, a fight will be inevitable there.”
Wang Yinru looked at the deep end of the sea of clouds in the Yandang Mountain range while a sense of somberness flashed in her eyes.
”Have you broken through to the Embryonic Breathing realm?” Mo Wen glimpsed at Wang Yinru while curiosity flashed in his eyes. Judging from the aura of her body, it was definitely the Embryonic Breathing realm, so Mo Wen's insight was indeed quite good. However, how had this woman broken through to the Embryonic Breathing realm within a month? Under normal circumstances, it was almost impossible.
Mo Wen had the supply of Vigor Cultivating Pills, yet he couldn't break through from the later stage of the Qi Nucleation realm to the pinnacle within a month, not to mention breaking through to the Embryonic Breathing realm.
”Uh-huh, I had breakthrough.” A radiance flashed in Wang Yinru's eyes as her body's aura became stronger. Even if this trip to the Dafang Sect was a failure, she wanted to make a big scene.
”Then, let's go.” Mo Wen nodded stoically. Since Wang Yinru had broken through to the Embryonic Breathing realm, their combined strength had undoubtedly increased quite a lot. That Dafang Sect was neither a dragon's chasm nor a tiger's lair. They could indeed try to intrude.
”Don't you worry. Although we only have the two of us, we won't be isolated without assistance. Although the Wang Clan's influence in the Dafang Sect was completely wiped out that year, the Dafang Sect is not ruled solely by Jiang Clan's influence. There are three other clans. Those three clans had a good relationship with the Wang Clan that year, and because the Jiang Clan monopolized the sect and affected the other three clans' interests, it has not been on good terms with the other three clans' influences. However, due to the Jiang Clan's great strength, the other clans have not revealed this yet.”
The year before the Wang Clan was annihilated, the Dafang Sect had always been controlled by the five big aristocratic families. Though there were strong and weak ones among the five, under the checks and balances of the families, having an especially strong clan wouldn't have caused much effect.
However, after the Wang Clan was annihilated, the situation changed drastically as the Jiang Clan began to supplant the other three clans and monopolize the sect.
”How are the strengths of the three clans?” Mo Wen asked.
”Compared to the Jiang Clan, way too weak.” Wang Yinru furrowed her brows. The three clans' influences were not as great as before due to the Jiang Clan's constant suppression while using the Dafang Sect's resources to become stronger and richer.
”Among the three experts of the Embryonic Breathing realm in the Dafang Sect, two of them are members of the Jiang Clan, and the other one is the old clan leader of the Zhou Clan. However, after the Wang Clan was annihilated, that old fellow no longer controlled any matters in the clan and the sect. He normally leads a secluded life and rarely shows himself.”
Wang Yinru knew that the Zhou Clan's old clan leader was probably afraid to follow in the Wang Clan's footsteps, so he didn't control any matters in the clan and sect. Hence, he had remained in seclusion for the past ten plus years.
