Chapter 103: Kindness Is Rewarded

”Pill Master Mo!” The person in charge at the Enforcement Hall saw Mo Wuji from afar and hurried to greet him.
A guest pill refiner was not a typical figure within the sect. Furthermore, as a cultivator, who could sure that they would not need to seek a pill refiner's help to concoct pills?
Moreover, after the Formless Blade Mountain incident, the sect had lesser pill refiners. Furthermore, this Pill Master Mo had the favor of Pill Master Yan, there was no harm from forming good relations with him. If not for the lack of proper reasons, many people would take the initiative to make friends with Mo Wuji.
”May I know how I can address this deacon here?” Mo Wuji politely said. Even though he knew that the Enforcement Hall liked to show off their strength, it wasn't due to the Enforcement Hall itself, but the people from it.
This person in charge hurried to reply, ”Pill Master Mo can just call me Gong Qian. I didn't know that Pill Master Mo is coming to the Enforcement Hall, please pardon my neglect.”
From Gong Qian's attitude to Mo Wuji, Mo Wuji could tell that this person wasn't the Enforcement Hall Master; he wasn't even a deacon. If he was, he would not have treated Mo Wuji with such politeness. The Enforcement Hall Master was an elder, so Mo Wuji would have been the one who needed to bow and be polite.
”Brother Gong, thanks for the courtesy. I've come to find the Enforcement Hall Master. This is because a distant relative of mine got brought in to the Enforcement Hall. I've come to request the Hall Master to make an exception for me. I hope Brother Gong can help me inform him of my visit,” Mo Wuji said warmly.
Mo Wuji was sure that the Enforcement Hall Master would not know of such a small matter, so he suggested meeting the Hall Master. Mo Wuji knew that this Gong Qian definitely wouldn't inform the Hall Master. He might not even want the Hall Master to know of this.
After Gong Qian heard that Mo Wuji was there to inquire about a prisoner, he hurried to ask, ”I don't know who is Mo Wuji's distant relative...”
”Fei Bingzhu, he's the disciple at the spiritual herbs warehouse.” Mo Wuji said calmly.
Gong Qian was momentarily at a loss for words. He was the one who caught Fei Bingzhu, and the reason was because Fei Bingzhu had offended Pill Master Ju’s ingredient boy. However, after he caught Fei Bingzhu, he heard that Pill Master had left the sect to attend a Pill Refiner's Exchange, so there weren't any follow-up instructions.
He did not expect that Fei Bingzhu actually had ties to Pill Master Mo. At this moment, he wasn't sure whether Pill Master Ju was even aware of this situation. If he was, then Gong Qian would rather offend Pill Master Mo instead of Pill Master Ju. However, if this was just the shenanigans of the ingredient boy, then he would have offended Pill Master Mo for nothing.
“Why? Is it so hard to inform the Hall Master?” Mo Wuji's voice turned cold.
“No, no…” Even though Gong Qian wasn't afraid of Mo Wuji, he knew that Mo Wuji was not your typical person.
I'm not going to care anymore. I will let Fei Bingzhu out first then talk about it in the future. If it was really the instructions of Pill Master Ju to grab Fei Bingzhu, then I will simply push all the blame to this Mo fella. If Pill Master Ju doesn't ask anything, I will just take as though nothing has happened.
As he thought of that, Gong Qian hurried to say, “Because Pill Master Ju's ingredient boy reported that Fei Bingzhu dispensed the wrong ingredients so I brought him in. Without the instructions from Pill Master Ju, I cannot casually let him go…”
Mo Wuji said plainly, “If anyone asks you, you tell them that it was I, Mo Wuji, who took Fei Bingzhu away. If they have anything to say, they can find me, Mo Wuji.”
This were the exact words that Gong Qian wanted to hear. Now that Mo Wuji had said them, he did not have any worries as he went to the prison room to bring Fei Bingzhu out.
Fei Bingzhu had bruises all over his body, and his hair was tussled; he had obviously suffered quite a bit. He did not know why he was suddenly being brought out, until he saw Mo Wuji.
He immediately made sense of the situation and he hurried forward to express his gratitude, but Mo Wuji stopped him. After clasping his fists towards Gong Qian, Mo Wuji quickly brought Fei Bingzhu away.
...
After an hour, Fei Bingzhu had regained much of his spirit after washing up and eating at the Lotus Sword Summit.
