Chapter 89: The Brutes That Came Knocking On Our Door

“Junior apprentice brother Mo, congratulations. I don’t really have much to give you as an congratulatory gift, so these spiritual herbs will do.” Yan Qianyin took out a parcel and passed it to Mo Wuji.

“Thank you senior apprentice sister Yan.” Mo Wuji hurriedly received the parcel. This was the exact bag that he had asked Yan Qianyin to help him safekeep. There were the pills that he had refined, the broken sword, and the skill transfer crystal ball. With the parcel in hand, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Yan Qianyin could openly say that she was giving him spiritual ingredients, which undoubtedly were from the Formless Blade Mountain. However, he dared not even bring a single pill out. This was the difference in ability, level, and position between them.

“Pill Master Mo, if you have any requests, just approach the Pill Refiner's Hall to bring them up.” Gu Ran warmly approached Mo Wuji, and treated him with exceptional respect. Mo Wuji’s impression of Gu Ran was quite good. But he knew that while this sect head of the Formless Blade Sect was rather decent, the sect head’s main objective of treating him this nicely was to encourage him to toil harder for the sect, and refine many pills in the future.

Mo Wuji thanked the sect head once again, “Thank you sect head for your concern, I will retire to my accommodation now as I am quite tired.” Although he was now a guest pill refiner, the Formless Blade Sect definitely had many things to discuss that would be of no concern to a guest pill refiner. So he left as soon as possible, knowing his place.

…

In his heart, Mo Wuji was very anxious to see Yan’Er after being separated from her for a month. He did not know her current condition, hence returning to the Blood Lotus Lake as fast as possible after bidding the various elders farewell.

“Young master Mo, you’re back.” Xiong Xiuzhu welcomed Mo Wuji with a deep bow. She had picked up Yan’Er’s habit for calling him young master.

“Yan’Er is still doing fine right?” Mo Wuji hurriedly asked

Xiong Xiuzhu quickly followed up with a nod, “Miss Yan’Er is doing very well, here she is right now…”

As Xiong Xiuzhu was speaking, Mo Wuji saw Yan’Er holding the earthly yellow egg that he brought back from the Seven Edged Sea. Step by step she walked closer towards the Blood Lotus Lake. Perhaps because the egg was given to her by Mo Wuji, it was not simply a toy to her, but something he entrusted her with. And perhaps it was also a natural sense of closeness that made Yan’Er cutely stand at Mo Wuji’s side when she arrived.

Upon observing that colour which had returned to Yan’Er’s face, and that her body had developed significantly, he felt even more satisfied with Xiong Xiuzhu’s care, as this showed that she looked after Yan’Er very well.

“You did a good job,” Mo Wuji praised her satisfactorily.

This elicited a quick bow from Xiong Xiuzhu, “Thank you Young Master for taking me in, I’ve been doing much better here than before. Please drink a cup of water first young master.” These words that came from Xiong Xiuzhu’s mouth were no lies, her complexion had become much fairer and her hands were not as calloused as a month before. She immediately went to pour a cup of water for Mo Wuji to welcome his return.

“Haha, how shameless can you get, a mere service disciple calling himself Young Master…”

“Bang!” The cup in Xiong Xiuzhu’s hands fell to the ground once she heard this voice. Mo Wuji could even see her shadow slightly trembling, then retracting to his back. It was apparent how fearful she was of this voice’s owner.

Lifting his head, Mo Wuji saw two men strolling over along the edge of the Blood Lotus Lake. One of them he knew very well: Deacon of the service disciples, Wu Kai. Wu Kai seemed to be giving advice to the other guy non-stop, but he received no form of response.

When Wu Kai finally noticed Mo Wuji’s presence, he quickly took a few steps forward to speak to Mo Wuji, “Brother Mo, so you’ve returned.”

Someone like Wu Kai was not in the position to be privy of information like the transfer formation of the Formless Blade Mountain glitching out, so all he knew was that Mo Wuji earned the favour of Pill Master Shi and became his ingredients boy.
