333 We Are Not Pushovers (1/2)
Gu Jingman was not sure why the Dafang Sect had been so thoughtless about the consequences when going against Wang Yinru that day. She knew that the Dafang Sect had captured Mo Wen's mother, so the next target would definitely be Mo Wen.
In reality, it was not surprising that Gu Jingman had no idea, because that day, outsiders did not know at all about the big battle that had happened in the forbidden land. Even the best technology of cameras would not be of use in the alternate space.
Naturally, the Dafang Sect would not announce the news of losing a Sect Grand Elder. Instead, they had kept it a secret and prevented the news from leaking out to avoid causing panic within the sect and letting other strong enemies target them. Hence, the death of the Dafang Sect's Grand Elder was still only known about by some people internally. It was very rare that any people from other powers knew about it.
Mo Wen guessing that the Sect Grand Elder in the Embryonic Breathing realm had died meant that he would definitely give it his all in exacting revenge. However, he had not expected the Jiang Clan to have a scary master hidden away with the ability to take down Wang Yinru.
Killing someone and capturing someone were two completely different matters. Although he had killed Jiang Quanfu in the forbidden land that day, it would have been difficult for him with his abilities to have just captured him.
After all, a master in the Embryonic Breathing realm was not a laughing matter. A counter-attack at the brink of death was irrefutably frightening. If one was not careful, the tables could turn completely. If it were not for the fact that one's Cultivation was far above another's, it would be impossible for one to hold back just the right amount in a battle. Naturally, capturing another would be a difficult affair.
Wang Yinru had broken through into the Embryonic Breathing realm, so just Jiang Quangui alone would not have been able to handle her. The person who was able to capture Wang Yinru had to be an ancient martial art practitioner in the later stage of the Embryonic Breathing realm, or even a frightening master at the peak of the Embryonic Breathing realm.
The Jiang Clan actually had another frightening master. Mo Wen had not expected that. It was no wonder that the other three families of the Dafang Sect had refused to meet them or interact with them. They probably knew that fact long ago.
”What is Wang Yinru's condition now?” Mo Wen inhaled deeply, and a cold look flashed in his eyes. Previously, Gu Jingman had only mentioned that the Jiang Clan had captured Wang Yinru. However, she had not said whether the worst had already happened.
”I don't know. It seems like she hasn't died. But I heard…” Gu Jingman glanced over at Mo Wen cautiously. Seeing Mo Wen's face turn cold, she hesitated a little and was afraid to continue. After all, it was Mo Wen's mother. It would be impossible for him not to go mad with such a thing happening. However, she found it very weird. Why was Mo Wen calling his own mother by her name? The interaction between this mother and son was too weird.
”What did you hear?” Mo Wen asked coldly.
”I heard…” Gu Jingman bit her lip and did not know how to break it to Mo Wen.
”Say it!”
”Don't get agitated. I just heard about it from somewhere. Your mother should not be dead yet. However, her condition is not very good…” Gu Jingman had not left the Yandang Mountain range. In her free time, she would get news from the disciples of other ancient martial art sects in the Yandang Mountain range, or listen in on their conversations.
She knew that the news that Wang Yinru had not died but was in very bad condition was simply hearsay, so she could not be certain.
”She is not my mother.” Mo Wen shook his head. At such a time, he naturally did not have to continue pretending.
”Ah…” Gu Jingman's eyes widened. No wonder. Wang Yinru was not Mo Wen's mother. She had been wondering how Mo Wen's mother could still be so young and pretty. However, if they were not mother and son, just what was their relationship?
A huge question mark popped up in her brain. Mo Wen must have a very unusual relationship with that Wang Yinru. Otherwise, the two of them would not pose as mother and son just to come and cause chaos.
Mo Wen told Gu Jingman, ”You remain at the foot of the mountain. I will make a trip over to the Dafang Sect. Later on, I will come back for you.” He did not ask her to leave Yandang Mountain directly. Currently, so many things were happening, and he predicted that Yandang Mountain would not be very peaceful. He reckoned staying in the forest was still safer.
”The Dafang Sect has so many strong masters. Are you scared?” Gu Jingman bit her lip. She did not understand why Mo Wen still insisted on going to the Dafang Sect at this point. Since that Wang Yinru was not his mother, there was no need for him to take the risk, right?
Could it be that the Mo Wen's feelings for Wang Yinru ran so deep that it has gotten to the stage where he is willing to risk his life? They could not possibly be sharing such a relationship, right?
Gu Jingman was shocked. Although that Wang Yinru looked young on the outside, she did not seem that young, either. She was afraid that she was even older than Lin Qing. Could it be that it was just as she had guessed, that Mo Wen had a royal sister complex…!?
Gu Jingman did not know why, but a complicated feeling welled up within her. She looked at Mo Wen a little bitterly.
”Do you mean I should ditch my companion out of fear? Moreover, that Dafang Sect doesn't have the capability to scare me.” Mo wen looked over at Gu Jingman. A strong aura was brewing within him. It was not just the power of his Cultivation, but it also stemmed from his strong beliefs. Not talking about the Dafang Sect, who was not a match for him, even if there were real danger, he could not possibly just leave Wang Yinru in the lurch.
