Chapter Seven Hundred and Forty Four – The Identity of the Old Man
Seeing Ming Yue Ye and the yao elders leave with their tails between their legs, Zuo Mo was lost in thought and did not seem to notice them. The mo in the surroundings looked at him with awe and respect. Any person that managed to extort a top treasure, the [Death Thought Bead], from the yao elders were worthy of respect.
Ming Yue Ye had been decisive. It was worth it to trade the [Death Thought Bead] for Elder Ye, one of the Ten Yao. Elder Ye now owed her a favor, this was a good thing. Also, she had obtained a much stronger Feng Xin Zi.
As to the [Death Thought Bead], that was the public property of the Council of Elders and she did not care as it was not her personal loss. While her mission had failed this time, her individual strength had grown greatly. The most valuable gain from this trip was their experience in fighting with shen power which would be of great help in helping them perfect shen power.
Both Elder Ye and Feng Xin Zi were the ones that had benefited directly and the most. They had a deeper comprehension of shen power.
Ming Yue Ye knew that these two people were crucial and they were in her camp, and would greatly increase her status in the Council of Elders. If she could advance the yao shen power system, no one would be able to shake her position, and she was likely to ascend to the position of chief elder.
No one knew Ming Yue Ye’s thoughts. All of the yao elders had dispirited expressions. Everything they had endured today in their view was a humiliation.
A grudge had undoubtedly been created between Zuo Mo and the Yao Council of Elders. However, both Ming Yue Ye and Zuo Mo did not care too much about this.
For Ming Yue Ye, her goal was the seat of chief elder. Before she took power, she did not have any direct conflict with Xiao Mo Ge. It was the opposite. After seeing Xiao Mo Ge’s great strength, she had even thought of allying with Xiao Mo Ge.
If she had such a strong helper outside the Council of Elders, it would be beneficial for her faction. There were many rules the Council of Elders had to abide by, she was restrained. Her influence outside the Council of Elders would not be affected and there would be many convenient uses for such an ally.
Ming Yue Ye had smiled as though there had been no conflict at all as she briskly agreed to Zuo Mo’s request. Even Zuo Mo had been surprised.
However, this increased Zuo Mo’s wariness of her.
This woman was very strong!
Little Mo Ge felt that he definitely could not be like her, going from fighting in a life and death battlein one moment to chatting with a smile the next. She was also decisive and did not hesitate once she made a decision.
While he did not like this type of person, Zuo Mo had to admire Ming Yue Ye’s strength. He also had a feeling. This woman would definitely have great power and influence in the future!
Shaking his head, Zuo Mo turned his head and laughed at himself. That had nothing to do with him.
Zuo Mo decided to ignore Ming Yue Ye’s hidden intention to establish a good relationship at the end. You had to guard against an ally like this, someone who might stab you in the back at any time.
“We also have to go.” Gu Liang Dao came over and had a hug with Zuo Mo.
Zuo Mo noticed the gazes that had gathered on them. He couldn’t help but ask, “Do you want us to accompany you?”
Gu Liang Dao laughed brightly. “Haha, no need, there’s Xiao Yu, and now there is the birdman suit, it will crush anyone that comes!”
Birdman suit … …
Zuo Mo’s temple throbbed.
“I will protect Big Brother!” Shuang Yu weakly guarantee from the side.
“Alright, be careful during your travel!” Zuo Mo could only say.
‘”Don’t worry! Work hard! Us brothers will meet again in the future!” Gu Liang Dao took a wineskin from his waist and, after taking a great swallow, handed it to Zuo Mo.
Zuo Mo took the wineskin and also took a deep gulp. He felt as though there was a fire burning in his chest. “Yes! Us brothers will meet in the future!”
“Haha! Xiao Yu, let’s go!” Gu Liang Dao laughed and walked out with his head up high. Shuang Yu waved at Zuo Mo and then followed closely.
The two flew out of the King’s Forbidden City.A troop flew out of the crowd and formed a protective perimeter with them in the middle. It was Gu Liang Dao’s personal guard!
Zuo Mo’s worries were finally put to rest and then he laughed. Gu Liang Dao looked simple-minded but he was a daring and detail-minded person. How could he not have any plans?
“Everyone, the spectacle is over, you may do as you please.”
Zuo Mo glanced over the other people and then ignored them. He was preparing to go back to Cloud Sea Jie, oh, it was now called Mo Cloud Sea. He needed a safe place to have A Gui use the [Five Element Soul Dan] and the [Death Thought Bead]. The mo territories were clearly not a good place. He also needed time to go through his memories in detail. He hoped he would get back to Mo Cloud Sea in time for the fighting and see if there were any places he could help.
But before leaving, he still had some problems to resolve.
He turned to walk towards the old man in the corner. The old man did not seem to be surprised to see him coming.
“Who are you? Why did I not find you in my memories.” Zuo Mo asked directly.
The old man grinned but his gaze was cold. “Of course, how can the Zuo Family’s young master’s memories have an impression of a little person like me?”
Zuo Mo frowned. The old man’s tone showed his friendlessness.
“There is enmity between us?”
“Not really, but your grandmother exiled me,” the old man said coolly.
Zuo Mo was shocked. “Exiled?”
The old man narrowed his eyes and said humorously, “In the Zuo Family, practicing shen power is restricted. However, I had the duty of guarding the shen device, and I managed to get a few hints. A secret will never remain hidden forever. Your grandmother discovered I had learned it. I hadn’t expected the old woman’s shen power to be greater than mine. There was no way about it. But the old woman still thought of my past service, and only excited me to a desolate jie.”
Zuo Mo felt his mind was a mess. There was too much information contained in the old man’s words.
