761 Persistence (1/2)

Mo Qingtian had an important position in Huatian Palace and he knew about many things. He even knew that Mo Wen had asked about the disappearance of the two girls, but that was no surprise. Qin Xiaoyou must have asked Dongfang Yi for help before Mo Wen's return. Anything that Dongfang Yi knew about, Mo Qingtian did as well.

Mo Wen had not had the time to investigate the girls' disappearance yet. Mo Qingtian told him about the conclusion of the matter.

”Only one of them ended up in the Ghost Lair's hands?” Mo Wen asked with a frown. Yun Xiaoman and Xu Qianqian had both gone missing. But Mo Qingtian said that only one of them was in the Ghost Lair's hands. Where was the other girl?

”Huatian Palace only found out about one girl, Xu Qianqian. We don't know whether the other girl is with the Ghost Lair.”

Huatian Palace's surveillance system might be powerful, but they could not find out everything. Mo Qingtian did not know whether Yun Xiaoman had ended up in the hands of the Ghost Lair.

”That's odd. Xu Qianqian is just an ordinary girl. Why did the Ghost Lair become interested in her?” Mo Wen asked in confusion.

He did not know what the Ghost Lair was planning. But he knew that most of the girls captured by them were girls from the ancient martial arts world. They rarely captured ordinary people. The more powerful the sacrifice, the higher the success rate of the sacrificial ritual.

”Don't you know?” Mo Qingtian looked at Mo Wen oddly.

”Know what?”

”That Xu Qianqian has already started on the martial arts way. This is related to you as well. If not for you, this would not have happened.”

Mo Wen, who was apparently the instigator of the matter, had no idea about it. What's the situation here?” He was a little confused.

”Didn't you give her a book on how to cultivate the Seven Injury Fist?” Mo Qingtian said lightly.

”Could it be…” An odd glint flashed in Mo Wen's eyes. Did Xu Qianqian really cultivate in the Seven Injury Fists? She was just an ordinary person. Without anyone to show her the way, how could she have cultivated in such a difficult and deep ancient martial arts skill?

”The girl not only cultivated in the Seven Injury Fists: she was rather accomplished at it too.”

”How is that possible? I only gave her the method to cultivate the Seven Injury Fists two months ago. No matter how talented a person is, she would not be able to cultivate the Seven Injury Fists at a proficient level!” Mo Wen could hardly believe it. The Seven Injury Fists was difficult to cultivate and was not suitable for women. When he had first given Xu Qianqian the method to the Seven Injury Fists, it had been a spontaneous act. He never thought that she would succeed in cultivating it.

She had managed to cultivate the Seven Injury Fists to a proficient level in just two months. Not even Qin Xiaoyou could beat her.

”It would, of course, be impossible under ordinary circumstances. However, when you gave her the method to the Seven Injury Fists, did she cultivate carelessly?” Mo Qingtian looked at Mo Wen. He smiled helplessly and said, ”The girl took your Seven Injury Fists manual and practiced it carelessly. In the end, she lost control. But she was lucky, and it was very strange. Nothing happened, and she eventually became rather accomplished at the Seven Injury Fists. I thought it was odd at first. After all, the chances of this happening are so small that they are practically impossible. A person who did not know martial arts would definitely die if they lost control. She was caught by the Ghost Lair after that. I realized that this probably had something to do with her special physical constitution.”

”What physical constitution does she have?” Mo Wen was rather shocked. He would never have expected that things would become like this, not even in his wildest dreams.

”I still do not know. I am only guessing. After all, the Ghost Lair discovered her first and then took her away.”

Mo Qingtian shook his head and said, ”So you have to go with us if you want to save her. The mission this time is not only to just stop the Ghost Lair. We also need to save more than 300 girls in the Ghost Lair's hands who they are going to use as sacrifices.”

”When will this be?” Mo Wen got straight to the point because he would be going with them. Furthermore, Xu Qianqian was involved in this. They were friends and he would not just stand by and not help her.

Mo Qingtian shook his head. ”I can't tell you that right now. After all, this mission is very important, so we have to keep things confidential. I will inform you immediately once the time comes.”

Mo Wen did not mind. He lowered his head slightly and drank his tea. Then, he served Mo Qingtian more tea before sending him off. He had just returned and so many things had happened. He was not in the mood to chat with Mo Qingtian about anything.

”You are quite a straightforward person.” Mo Qingtian could not help but smile. He did not say anything else and got up to leave.

”Try to find time to go to Huatian Palace in the next two days. The Martial Arts Grandmaster Hall has taken charge of the Ghost Lair Mission. If you join the Martial Arts Grandmaster Hall beforehand, it would be much more convenient for you,” Mo Qingtian said before he left. Then, he flicked his sleeves and disappeared silently. He did not leave any traces behind. Not even Mo Wen could sense how he had left the courtyard.
