Chapter 116: Second House Master (2/2)

Before Zhen Shaoke could speak, Zhen Shaoru’s eyes widened and gave the Second House Master a glare, ”Woman what do you mean by that? Please explain yourself.”

Zhen Shaoke hurried to hold Zhen Shaoru back and then said to Second House Master, ” Second House Master, in any case, I am still the Young House Master of Nine Moons Pill House. Am I not even qualified to recommend a pill refiner to participate in the Five Elements Desolate Domain Pill Competition?”

”Big brother is right. We two brothers are definitely going to stay here and what will a woman like you do to us?” Zhen Shaoru stomped his foot before shouting.

This sentence of his made it sound like as though the Second House Master did not allow the two brothers to stay here.

The Second House Master replied, ”I did not say so. It is not entirely impossible if Young House Master really insist on letting the people you brought over to participate in the pill competition. However, the competition to enter the Five Elements Desolate Domain itself was already difficult and the placings are already so little…”

Zhen Shaoke had a clear thought process as well as great EQ therefore, he knew what the Second House Master was implying. He knew that the Second House Master wanted to use this incident to remove the two brothers’ placings into the Five Elements Desolate Domain. He said coldly, ”Since this is the case, we will do as you please. I invited Pill Master Mo to represent Nine Moons Pill House to participate in the Five Elements Desolate Domain Pill Competition and whether or not he makes the cut, we brothers will not use the Pill House’s placings to enter the Five Elements Desolate Domain.”

Finishing, Zhen Shaoke did not bother about the Second House Master anymore and turned to Mo Wuji with a smile, ”Wuji, whether or not we have a chance to enter the Five Elements Desolate Domain is all dependent on you now.”

Mo Wuji took a step forward and said, ”Thank you Zhen Shao for your trust. If I were to win the placings, who decides who gets to go with myself?”

”You would be naturally be the one deciding,” Zhen Shaoru replied.

Mo Wuji wanted to hear this sentence as he needed the Second House Master to hear this. He could feel that there were some tensions between the Second House Master and Young House Master.

”Let’s go, we shall go back to rest now. Steward Bu, please prepare a few clean houses immediately,” Zhen Shaoke did not bother about the Second House Master as he gave his orders to the steward. He said this sentence with a little bit of aggression such that if the Second House Master still chose to object, he will definitely burst out in anger.

”Yes, Young House Master,” Steward Bu saw that the Second House Master did not object and therefore acknowledged immediately, turned and went to prepare the houses.

Steward Bu got things done very swiftly as within a few minutes, Mo Wuji and the rest were allocated their own houses. Mo Wuji would be living alone, Yan’Er and Xiong Xiuzhu staying together while Tao Ao and Fei Bingzhu in another house.

Mo Wuji finally managed to settle down as Zhen Shaoke entered his room again.

”Wuji, there isn’t really a refiner like you who still brings around his own refining equipment,” Zhen Shaoke noticed the refining equipment placed by the side by Tao Ao the moment he entered the room.

Mo Wuji laughed, ignored his comments about the refining equipment and then asked, ”Zhen Shao, why is the Second House Master so against you?”

Zhen Shaoke wiped the smile off his face and said grudgingly, ”Nine Moons Pill House has three House Masters. My father is the Old Master. 10 years ago, my father advanced into the first stage of the Heaven Realm and then never appeared again. During the early years, Second House Master was still fine until recently when she found out that my father probably failed to advance successfully, her attitude changed. If not for the group of elders who constantly support us brothers, we would not have been able to gain a foothold here at Nine Moons Pill House. In recent years, Second House Master found out that I’ve been able to further develop my strength hence, choosing to continue picking on me again.

This proved that I am not close with any of the pill refiners who will be representing Nine Moons Pill House in the competition. In fact, they are all Tier 3 pill refiners. Even without this incident, I doubt we will have the chance to enter the Five Elements Desolate Domain after the competition ended.”

”What about Third House Master?” Mo Wuji asked inquisitively as he realised how Zhen Shaoke desperate he was to find Mo Wuji for help.

Zhen Shaoke shook his head, ”Third House Master is only focused on concocting pills and could not be bothered about anything else. This trip to the Five Elements Desolate Domain, if I can find a precious spiritual herb, there is a high chance I can let my brother enter the Heaven Seeking Palace. Once he entered the Heaven Seeking Palace, we would have one brother on the inside and one brother on the outside and it would be very difficult for Second House Master to pick on me again.”

Indeed, every family had their own problems. Mo Wuji did not talk about this topic anymore as he asked, ”Zhen Shao, do you know which station was this Heaven Seeking Palace located at?”

The moment this sentence came out, Zhen Shaoke knew what Mo Wuji was intending to do as he hurried to say, ”Wuji, you must not keep harbouring the thoughts of meeting Granny Linglong. The Heaven Seeking Palace is not a place anybody could enter. If you were to anger the Heaven Seeking Palace, even if you have 100 lives, it will not be enough to compensate.”

”No, I have to at least try to make it there. If I don’t try, I will always have regrets,” Mo Wuji said with a lot of determination, ”But not now. After the pill competition because if I were to win the placings, I will definitely be emboldened.”

Mo Wuji knew clearly that courage alone would not lead to success. If he were to win the placings in the Five Elements Desolate Domain Pill Competition, it would at least mean he would have been qualified enough to enter the Five Elements Desolate Domain. Only if he possessed the qualification to enter the Five Elements Desolate Domain then would he be eligible to find Granny Linglong.

After hearing that Mo Wuji would only go after the competition itself, Zhen Shaoke heaved a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to reply Mo Wuji, Zhen Shaoru barged in and said, ”Wuji, let me bring you to a fun place. I am sure you will like it.”

”Where?” Mo Wuji looked curiously at Zhen Shaoru as he thought that this fella was a born socializer as he only just met him and had not even had a conversation with him. Regardless, he treated Mo Wuji like an old friend, bringing him around to fun places.
