Chapter 40: Separation (2/2)
Mo Wuji looked at Jing Lengbei and said, ”My guess is it was Hei Weifeng's doing. There is no point in asking anymore.”
Jing Lengbei fell to the ground in tears. She had heard of Hei Weifeng’s infamous name and his immoral acts before.
Mo Wuji used the knife in his hand and split Yong Yong's head apart too. The splashing fresh blood made him uncomfortable once again. However, he knew that there were some things that had to be done. The fact that the fatty trafficked these young girls made Mo Wuji extremely enraged, not to mention one of them was Mo Xiangtong.
Yuan Zhenyi retrieved the gold and silver coins from his body. In addition to some gold notes he managed to retrieve 16000 gold coins and a few thousand silver coins.
Yuan Zhenyi passed all the gold coins to Mo Wuji. This was Mo Wuji's idea after all.
Mo Wuji did not keep the gold coins. Instead, he took out an additional 20000 gold notes to split the money into three portions for Aunt Eleven, Mo Xiangtong and Jing Lengbei, ”Aunt Eleven, hurry up and bring them away from here.”
”Understood,” Aunt Eleven did not waste any more time and kept the gold notes.
Mo Xiangtong knew Mo Wuji wanted to go to the royal capital but was unable to bring her along. Coupled with the fact that Mo Wuji was also from the Mo Clan, she did not say much and just kept the gold coins. The hesitant Jing Lengbei realised that she might make Aunt Eleven unhappy if she rejected the money so she quietly kept the gold coins too.
”Wuji, in future...” Mo Xiangtong looked at Mo Wuji with some hesitation.
Mo Wuji said with a serious tone, ”In future, if I have the ability, I will avenge the Mo Clan.”
However, Mo Wuji did not mention that he would give up avenging if he was not capable enough.
”Let's go,” Aunt Eleven said and mounted the horse. She was always very straightforward with whatever she said or did.
Jing Lengbei went up to Mo Wuji and Yuan Zhenyi, she bowed respectfully and mounted the horse without saying a word.
”I truly admire this Jing Lengbei, sometimes there is truly no need for words,” Yuan Zhenyi said with admiration as he watched the three of them from a distance.
After the trio's voices disappeared under the moonlight, Yuan Zhenyi said,” Let's go. We shall just leave the bodies here.”
Mo Wuji looked at Jia Jing and said,” We can leave the other bodies here but Jia Jing's must be hidden.”
Yuan Zhenyi immediately understood the reason, laughed and said,” Wuji, you are indeed very careful, how could I not think of this?”
...
The hustle and bustle of the night was gone and the morning by the seaside seemed so peaceful.
”Ah...” A scream could be heard from even outside Yue Hai Inn. A doorman hurried up to see what was going on.
The doorman knocked on Room 17 and asked, ”How may I help you Sir?”
At this period of time, anyone and everyone could stay in Yue Hai Inn. In any of these rooms, there could be a Lord or a prince. Therefore, even if it was a small Lord or small prince, it did not matter much.
Tuo Baqi shouted angrily, ” Someone knocked me out yesterday... No, and took my slave away...Wait...Where is Jia Jing? Why is Jia Jing not back yet?”
After finishing his sentence, Tuo Baqi calmed down as he recalled what he asked Jia Jing to do before he was knocked out. Even if he was a small prefecture Lord, he would never get away if someone found out he ordered his men to assassinate the salesman.
”It's okay, you may leave. I just had a nightmare,” Tuo Baqi waved his hands as he ordered the doorman to take his leave.
The doorman revealed a look of disdain as he turned and walked away, not bothering about this lunatic Prefecture Lord.
