Chapter 38: The Rescue

Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor:

Room number 17 was indeed next to a patio. It was located in a relatively remote area on the second level.

Mo Wuji reached into his thigh pocket to feel for his knife. He wanted to stun Tuo Baqi by attacking first to make him unconscious before sneaking Jing Lengbei out of there. He believed that as long as he did not murder Tuo Baqi, the immortal masters would never conduct a thorough investigation for a missing female slave. As Tuo Baqi was about to board the ship, he probably wouldn't investigate or send people to search for her due to the lack of time.

Mo Wuji had already made backup plans for instances such as the encounter with Hu Fei previously. In the event that Tuo Baqi was very powerful and Mo Wuji could not knock him unconscious, he would kill him and quickly escape. Whether he killed Tuo Baqi or not would have led to two very different outcomes. If he really did kill Tuo Baqi, Mo Wuji would have to leave immediately.

”Young Prince, the fellow is ready to leave. When we were competing with that b*stard, all the other slaves he brought became so popular and were all sold out very quickly. When I went over, he was already packing his belongings. My guess is that he will be leaving very soon,” Mo Wuji heard the conversation very clearly as he hid below a window in the corner.

Mo Wuji did not expect somebody else to be in Tuo Baqi's room. His initial guess was that an arrogant, domineering prince like Tuo Baqi would have his own room. If there really was two people in the room, there would be problems with his plan.

Tuo Baqi sneered and said,” Does he really think he can get away safely having taken my money? Jia Jing, bring the two others with you to get the gold coins back and finish him off. Do it when he's further away from here. Do it cleanly and don't leave any evidence behind.”

Mo Wuji did not expect Tuo Baqi to think the same way as himself. He was planning to kill the obese salesman after he left this place. If Mo Wuji did not sneak in here, he would not have realised that the obese salesman planned to leave so quickly.

”Young master, I will take my leave then. Do not worry, I will get the gold coins back,” the man called Jia Jing sounded off and then Mo Wuji heard the squeaking sound of the door.

Mo Wuji knocked on the door when the sound of the footsteps disappeared completely.

”Who is it?” Tuo Baqi asked.

Mo Wuji imitated Jia Jing's voice and said softly,” Young master, I thought of a better idea. Shall I come in and discuss it with you?”

Mo Wuji originally planned to enter through the window but after hearing Jia Jing's voice, he changed his plan.

”Squeak...” The door opened again.

Mo Wuji entered the room as fast as he could and hit Tuo Baqi in the temple with a punch.

Tuo Baqi would have never expected Jia Jing to knock him out and before he recognised that it was Mo Wuji, he heard a humming sound from the back of his head and was knocked unconscious.

Mo Wuji felt relieved as he locked the door. He then retrieved a bottle of solution and poured it into Tuo Baqi's mouth. He was sure the solution would leave Tuo Baqi unconscious for an entire day.

Finishing what he needed to do, Mo Wuji finally took a good look at the girl sitting by the side. He realised that the obese salesman really did not exaggerate her beauty.

This girl was indeed prettier than Mo Xiangtong. She had shoulder length hair, a goose egg face and skin that looked as smooth as cream. Although she looked stunned, she looked more surprised at Mo Wuji as she did not understand how Mo Wuji was so daring.

”Are you Jing Lengbei?” Mo Wuji asked as he took out a black scarf from his pocket.
