Chapter 87: Mo Luoqu's Inheritance

Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor:

”There are three statues?” Seeing Yan Qianyin standing unmoving by the stone wall, Mo Wuji walked over. He saw that there were three statues carved into the stone wall.

Among the three statues, two of them were facing each other. The last one was slightly further, and only its side view could be seen.

“Do you see that below the two statues facing one another, there is a robe’s hem carved into the wall?” Yan Qianyin quizzically asked.

Mo Wuji started to examine the carvings and suddenly understood the meaning behind them, “Senior apprentice sister Yan, you're saying that these two statues represent Zhuo Wuhen and Mo Luoqu? And the lower hem of Mo Luoqu’s robe has been ripped off onto the ground, signifying the repudiation of their brotherhood?” [1]

Yan Qianyin nodded, “That should be the case. The woman by the side should be the one who caused these two friends to turn against each other, Fu Yanfei. If I'm not wrong, these statues should have been carved by Mo Luoqu when he escaped here.”

With that, Yan Qianyin looked at the statues for a good while. Suddenly, she suggested, “Junior apprentice brother Mo, don't you hate the founder of the Formless Blade Sect? Since you hate him, why don't you come destroy this statue?”

Mo Wuji stared at Yan Qianyin; after some time, he slowly said, “Well it's true that I hate him, but why must I destroy his statue? Furthermore, I only heard that story from you, and you heard the story from someone else. I only dislike him because of your story, but before confirming the facts, I will not do anything.”

“If you're not going to do it, I will…” As Yan Qianyin was speaking, the long sword in her hand had already stabbed forward.

Mo Wuji was astonished; in his astonishment, he discovered that Yan Qianyin's target wasn't Zhuo Wuhen, but the statue of Fu Yanfei by the side.

Mo Wuji chuckled, “Senior apprentice sister Yan, I thought that as a fellow woman, you would be more lenient towards Fu Yanfei.”

“I also don’t like a woman with such loose morals. [2] If not for her, my Formless Blade Sect and our founder wouldn’t have become the subject of people’s ridicule…”

“You must know that flies don’t hover around intact eggs; there’s no smoke without a fire. If Zhuo Wuhen really fell for Fu Yanfei, then he must not have been a good egg…”

“Kacha!” The sound of destruction interrupted Mo Wuji's words.

With Yan Qianyin’s sword stabbed into Fu Yanfei, the entire stone wall crumbled down.

Behind the stone wall, there was a white jade platform; on that platform, there were three crystal balls. The stone wall behind the white jade platform was polished really smoothly, and on it lay a single row of words: The fated one can obtain my legacy. Bring the Fallen Tune Sword Art back to glory!

“So this is really the resting place for Senior Luoqu,” Yan Qianyin sighed before bowing towards the white jade stage.

Mo Wuji also bowed to the stage; he could not help but feel admiration towards Yan Qianyin. This woman is really better than him in many ways. He really thought that she was dissatisfied with Fu Yanfei, which was why she destroyed Fu Yanfei’s statue, but she was really just revealing this hidden treasure space.

“I'm paying my respects to a senior of the sect. Why are you bowing towards him too?” Seeing Mo Wuji bowing down, Yan Qianyin intentionally snided.

Mo Wuji said without minding, ”I am paying respects to Senior Mo. I heard that when many experts leave behind their legacies and inheritance, they would intentionally leave behind some traps. However, Senior Mo did not leave behind any trap whatsoever, demonstrating that he is a forthright and honourable person. Furthermore, I will soon be obtaining one of his treasures, it's only right for me to pay respects to this senior.”

Yan Qianyin smiled slightly; she understood that Mo Wuji was reminding her not to forget his share of the inheritance.

”These three crystal balls are skill transfer crystal balls. The good thing about skill transfer crystal balls is that it contains the predecessor's insights and understanding towards a skill or technique. These insights are extremely profound, and it will not leave the inheritor confused, even if the inheritor is retarded, he will be able to completely understand the intricacies and details with this skill transfer crystal ball.” Yan Qianyin only needed one look at Mo Wuji's expression to know that he did not recognise what they were both looking at, so she took the initiative to explain.

”So that's the case. When comparing these skill transfer crystal balls to traditional manuals, they lack the inheritor's personal enlightenment towards the technique? He will be entirely inheriting the predecessor's insights and understanding?” Mo Wuji asked.

Yan Qianyin faintly said, ”You can understand it like that. But for many techniques and skills, even the most talented geniuses would not understand them in such a short period of time. Some might not even understand it after practising them for a long time.”
