Chapter 112: Exposed

Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor:

Mo Wuji did not immediately return to Lotus Sword Summit but went to Medicine King Summit to fetch Yan'Er. He did not wish to put all his hopes on Yan Qianyin. Furthermore, now that he was a Tier 3 Mortal Pill Refiner, he would have other means of participating in the Five Elements Desolate Domain Pill Competition.

”Senior apprentice brother Mo, little sis Yan'Er,” Seeing Mo Wuji return with Yan'Er, Fei Bingzhu hurried over to greet them.

”Is anything of the matter?” Seeing Fei Bingzhu's expression, Mo Wuji could tell that there was something on. Furthermore, he had stayed at Pharmacy 19 for quite some time.

Fei Bingzhu spoke with a hint of worry, ”Yes. Yesterday, the Second Elder sent some people over. He asked for you pay him a visit the moment you returned from the pharmacy. Also, the backer of that Meng fella is exactly the Second Elder.”

Mo Wuji suddenly thought of Qin Xiangyu's brother, Qin Chen. Wasn't his master the Second Elder? He did not expect Meng Boyu's backer to also be the Second Elder.

”Bingzhu, it doesn't matter whether the Treasured Blood Lotuses are mature or not, just dig them up.” Seeing that the matter had already reached the ears of the Second Elder, it would be a little troublesome. Might as well get Fei Bingzhu to dig the Treasured Blood Lotus first before further discussions.

He added, ”Pack everything up. Get ready to leave at any moment.”

Since the Second Elder had already investigated the issue to him, if Yan Qianyin had yet to return, then he would just leave. He couldn't stay here and try his luck.

Fei Bingzhu hurriedly said, ”Rest assured senior apprentice brother Mo, I have already prepared a jade box. If you store the Treasured Blood Lotus with spirit stones in the jade box, it would be able to last for a few months without rotting. I will immediately pack the other things.

Mo Wuji nodded, and was about to speak until he saw the Pill Refiner's Hall Deacon Yuan Qi walking over hastily.

”Deacon Yuan.” Before Yuan Qi could speak, Mo Wuji took the initiative to go forward and greet him.

Yuan Qi looked at Mo Wuji, without the same warmth as he had the first time they met. He sighed as he said, ”Pill Master Mo, the sect head, Pill Master Yan and a few other elders are waiting for you at the Great Hall. Please follow me.”

Hearing that Yan Qianyin had returned, Mo Wuji’s heart relaxed a little. It seems like Yan Qianyin hadn't returned to Medicine King Summit, if not they would have met. He believed that Yan Qianyin would help him again, and he only needed her to help him this one time. After this incident, he would no longer have any relations to the Formless Blade Sect.

Mo Wuji nodded, and spoke to Fei Bingzhu with a calm expression, ”Bingzhu, do what you need to do. I will go out for a while.”

”Rest assured senior apprentice brother.” Fei Bingzhu nodded. He did not know whether Mo Wuji could dodge this matter, but at this point, he could only leave it to fate.

…

Mo Wuji followed Deacon Yuan Qi to the Formless Blade Sect's Great Hall. This was the second time he entered the Great Hall; the first time, he came as Shi Jun's ingredient boy. Now, Shi Jun was dead, and he had become a guest pill refiner for the sect.

As he entered the Great Hall, Mo Wuji saw many elders gathered within. Even though he had never met the Second Elder before, he could recognize the Second Elder with a single glance. The Second Elder had a long beard and was donned in grey robes. His gaze was already extremely sharp. By his side, was a heroic looking young man, who looked similar to Qin Xiangyu. Mo Wuji could easily guess that he should be Qin Chen.

Besides the elders, the sect's pill refiners had also gathered. The sect head, Gu Ran, had a cold expression, and he sat at the peak silently. What made Mo Wuji worried was that Pill Master Ju's seat had been shifted next to Yan Qianyin. It seems like Pill Master Ju’s status had already become comparable to Yan Qianyin's.

Mo Wuji clasped his fists, ”Lotus Sword Summit's Mo Wuji greets the sect head, as well as the various elders, summit lords and hall masters.”

No one spoke for a long time. After a while, Yan Qianyin spoke in a gentle tone, ”Pill Master Mo, please take a seat.”

Mo Wuji lamented; it seems like the hall of people had been gathered against him.

”Wait, Pill Master Mo, I heard that a service disciple in the spiritual herbs warehouse dispensed the wrong herbs which resulted in Pill Master Ju’s concoction to fail. He was eventually brought away to the Enforcement Hall. But Pill Master Mo ignored the sect's rules, and forcefully brought away that service disciple?” Without waiting for Mo Wuji to sit down, an aggressive looking man stood up and questioned him.

Mo Wuji recognised this person, he was Fire Sword Summit’s Cang Qianxing. He could be considered to have enmity with Mo Wuji.

It was as though he did not hear Cang Qianxing's call for him to stop, Mo Wuji did not hesitate to sit his ass down on a chair.
