After seeing Mu Ying’s appeal, Mo Wuji did not continue to write out the Treasured Blood Lotus. Now that Mu Ying was interested in the only thing he had on his hands, he would simply find Mu Ying to exchange afterwards.
”Pill Master Mo…” At this moment, a surprised voice sounded beside Mo Wuji’s ears.
Mo Wuji turned his head around to see Yan Qianyin walking over. Beside Yan Qianyin was Pill Master Ju whom he did not wish to see.
”Junior apprentice brother Mo, I was so worried for you. I am finally relieved to be able to see you here,” Yan Qianyin said with a lot of agitation.
Mo Wuji laughed, ”Thank you senior apprentice sister Yan. My luck seemed to be not bad as I managed to escape death once.”
Yan Qianyin said apologetically, ”I am sorry, junior apprentice brother Mo, for being the reason you ended up in danger.”
Mo Wuji did knew that Yan Qianyin could not be blamed for this matter. This was because she did not know that he killed Meng Baoyu and hence, caught off guard by the Second Elder.
”Senior apprentice sister Yan, you can’t be blamed for this matter. Moreover, everything is over already,” Mo Wuji shook his hand as he said this.
”Humph! A person of bad character like you will end in the hands of Elder Xu eventually,” Pill Master Ju saw Mo Wuji and was feeling extremely unpleased.
Mo Wuji frowned and ask, ”Senior apprentice sister? Who is this fella?”
Yan Qianyin gave a slight smile and replied as if she did not realised Mo Wuji already recognise Pill Master Ju, ”This is Formless Blade Sect’s Pill Master Ju Feiyang, a Peak Tier 3 pill refiner.”
Mo Wuji laughed coldly, ”From the way he speaks, I still thought he was a Heavenly pill refiner or one of the pill lord from one of the five big empires. In other words, which root of spring onion are you?”
At the Formless Blade Sect, Mo Wuji had already nursed enough grievance. Furthermore, they were no longer at the Formless Blade Sect.
Ju Feiyang’s face turned so ugly that he had to control his tone and calmed himself down when he realised where they were currently at, ”Indeed, I am neither a Heavenly pill refiner nor any spring onion. However, I, Ju Feiyang, will never murder a brother from the same sect…”
The argument between Mo Wuji and Ju Feiyang from the start had already attracted people’s attention. Now that Ju Feiyang mentioned about killing your own sect’s brother, it drew almost every onlookers’ attention. Even Mu Ying, who only just collected his Pine Pulse revealed an expression of disgust. Killing people from the same sect, how bad a character must you have?
Yan Qianyin wished to help Mo Wuji refute but had no idea how to help him. She guessed that Mo Wuji really did kill Meng Boyu but given her understanding of Mo Wuji, she knew that he must have had his reasons for doing so.
Mo Wuji used his eyes to sweep across Ju Feiyang coldly. You are still not on par to debate with me. You have no idea how many forums and world genius expert medical debates I have attended in my previous life so why would I be scared of a lowly Ju Feiyang who only knew how to concoct pills? I am not afraid of competing with you in terms of concocting pills and even more so debating.
At the same time, he knew he had to change Mu Ying’s impression of him in the shortest possible time. Other people could feel disgusted with him for all he care but not Mu Ying.
”Fellow pill refiners, before I explain myself, let me tell everyone a story. There was a highly respected mister and he accepted several disciples. There was a disciple called Yan and because this disciple did not like to talk or socialise, the other disciples did not like him.”
Because Mo Wuji started by wanting to say a story for everyone therefore, the entire hall quietened down. Mo Wuji’s deep voice in this quiet hall made him sound even more convincing.
”Famine hit everyone hard this year therefore, this mister and his disciples had to survive on congee every single day. To show their respect, the disciples will always offer the thickest portion of the porridge to the mister. One day as per usual, Yan served a bowl of congee to the mister. However, some dirt landed on the congee on his way to the mister. Yan used a ladle to remove the congee with the dirt on it and felt that it would be a waste to throw it away therefore putting this spoonful of congee into his mouth.
This whole process was witnessed very clearly by the mister as well as another disciple of his. The only difference was that the disciple did not witness the part where the dirt landed on the congee. He went to tell the mister that Yan secretly ate some of his congee. All the disciples despised Yan which made the mister sighed and thought to himself: sometimes what you see may not be the full story.
My friends, if what you see with your own eyes may not even be true, how true could words from one person be?”
Mu Ying slightly pondered a little before apologising to Mo Wuji, ”Previously, I jumped into conclusions way too quickly and felt disgusted with you without actually judge the situation rationally.”
Mo Wuji hurried to say, ”Senior apprentice sister Mu cannot be blamed for this. Anyone who heard about someone killing a brother from the same sect would have felt the same way.”
Ju Feiyang’s face turned gloomy as he did not expect Mo Wuji to be able to simply use a story to turn the tides in his favour even before he started debating.
”Since this was the case, I guess Pill Master Mo did not murder his fellow sect colleague,” Mu Ying hurried to add on.
