Chapter 73: Last Minute Arrangements (2/2)

Mo Wuji intentionally mentioned that Pill Master Shi values him greatly, in order to let Wu Kai know that he has some backing. With Wu Kai stunned by his words, Mo Wuji felt rather satisfied, calmly saying, “It is indeed like that, so I’ll have to trouble Deacon Wu today,” Hearing this, Wu Kai immediately reacted. He was now aware that Mo Wuji was not here to change jobs and also how much Pill Master Shi valued him. Thus Mo Wuji immediately became a much more important figure to him.

“Brother Mo, since we are such good friends, it’s no trouble at all. Just tell me what you need, as long as I, Wu Kai, have the ability to do it, I will not turn your request down,” Wu Kai thumped his chest while saying.

“Brother Wu, the b*tchy mother of Tao Ao refuses to leave, claiming that she has to take care of Tao Ao, and they can’t do without that job. It isn't that good for me to force her out either, after all, in the past…” Fatty Guang huffed and puffed as he ran over, but in the middle of his sentence, he noticed that Mo Wuji stood just at the side, hence he cut instinctively cut himself off. “So Brother Mo is also here,” Fatty Guang casually acknowledged Mo Wuji’s presence.

Mo Wuji frowned, even though he never heard anything about what Fatty Guang just said, but he could roughly guess what was going on from the limited information that was mentioned. It must have been that Tao Ao and his wife gave Wu Kai some benefits in exchange for his current job. Now Tao Ao’s body became plagued with some ailment, so his wife was forced to both work and take care of him at the same time. But Wu Kai did not care about the situation they were in, and added insult to injury by giving the job away to someone else. Yet Tao Ao’s wife refused to leave.

Indeed, Wu Kai had no moral baseline. If he continued to stay at his position, eventually he would fall to the state of the Tao Ao couple. Wu Kai reached the position of the service disciple’s deacon through his situational awareness, thus Mo Wuji’s frown was instantly captured by his eagle-like eyes. With a chuckle, he immediately began explaining to Mo Wuji, “That Tao Ao couple was originally posted to go to the Meals Department to work, but Tao Ao offended someone and had his legs broken. So now his b*itch wife has to take care of him, and as a result is unable to continue fulfilling his job scope. I was planning to give him an easier job to do instead.”

I’ll be damned if I believed you, Mo Wuji thought to himself. His face however, showed a different expression, wearing a wide smile and replying, “Deacon Wu sure is kind, I’ll have to thank you on the Tao Ao couple’s behalf…” At this juncture, Mo Wuji asked himself: wasn’t he here to find someone to take care of Yan’Er?

“Deacon Wu, I’m begging you, please don’t chase me out. If I leave the current job and bring Tao Ao along, it would be simply waiting for death…” A wailing voice echoed out, and soon enough, Mo Wuji could see a young woman in plain and rugged clothing stumbling towards them. This must be Tao Ao’s wife. Her hands are calloused, so she should be involved in physical work, but yet she exuded an aura of kindness. Once sighting her, Fatty Guang swiftly moved in front of her, and stopped her from continuing her advance.

“That’s right,Deacon Wu, you also know the situation that I’m in. I intend to go for a trip, so I’m looking for someone to take care of Yan’Er. How about we let this b*tch do that?” Mo Wuji followed up. Before he set his eyes on Tao Ao’s wife, his impression was that she was fiercely loyal woman, refusing to leave her husband behind. But now that he saw firsthand what she was like, Mo Wuji was even surer that this was a good candidate to take care of Yan’Er. Ideally, he was looking for someone who was meticulous, caring, and most importantly, kind.

“That’s the best arrangement, Brother Mo you really helped me out this time, rather than the other way around,” Wu Kau quickly mentioned. Once he was finished, Wu Kai shouted at the woman, “Xiong Xiuzhu, Brother Mo is willing to take in you two. Quickly come over to thank him.” Xiong Xiuzhu was momentarily stunned, and stared at Mo Wuji, unable to process what had happened in time.

If Mo Wuji really took in the Tao Ao couple, it would indeed be doing a favour for Wu Kai. Being the deacon of the service disciples, Wu Kai had many people to make arrangements for, especially for those disciples who had relatives with significant positions. Each one of them that were poorly arranged for, would be another superior that he offended. His original plan was to chase away the Tao Ao couple, as these two people, who had neither spirit roots nor influence, could be handled however he deemed fit without any repercussions. Since Mo Wuji wanted to take over them, he would naturally facilitate this transfer.

Mo Wuji gave out a short laugh, “This is not the only thing that I’ve come to visit Deacon Wu about. Now that there’s the Tao Ao couple taking care of Yan’Er while I go out for a trip, I’m no longer as worried anymore. But another issue would be regarding the service disciples attached to Pharmacy 19. If I have any ingredient retrieval jobs while I’m not around, I hope that Deacon Wu can help me arrange for someone to cover for me temporarily.”
