The moment Ren Tianxing heard about this, he became silent too. Given his pride, there were very few people whom he admired and even though Mo Wuji was an outer disciple with a rather low aptitude, Ren Tianxing enjoyed interacting with him. Furthermore, Mo Wuji never looked down on himself even though he was only an outer disciple.
Ren Tianxing was willing to befriend Mo Wuji, give up on searching for the earth fire in the Lost Sky Ruins, accompany him back to the sect and even gift him a self-disguising spiritual item precisely because he truly admired a person like Mo Wuji.
Now that he realised that Mo Wuji might have fallen, he would naturally be feeling slightly dejected. It definitely wasn’t easy for a cultivator to meet a true friend in this world.
There were two black scarfed cultivators bending down to clean up the victory goods on the floor not too far away from where Ren Tianxing and Cen Shuyin were conversing at. The two cultivators only stood up after Ren Tianxing and Cen Shuyin left.
If Mo Wuji was here, he would have recognised one of them. He was Honest Qi from the Honest Provision Shop.
”That Cen Shuyin came over with Mo Wuji yet had no idea where Mo Wuji went. She is really a dumb woman,” Honest Qi badmouthed Cen Shuyin as he watched her back.
The black scarfed woman beside him grunted, ”You are the dumb one. The woman and Mo Wuji were clearly not that close so why would she know where Mo Wuji went?”
”So what should we do now?” Honest Qi changed the topic the moment he heard this woman reprimanding him.
The black scarfed woman saw the fog shrouded Thunder Fog Forest from away as she pondered for while before replying, ”We have gotten rid of the three people who have seen the Celestial Sunflower Gold and Mo Wuji was the only one to have seen them before. We have to find that Mo Wuji kid by hook or by crook.”
”Aren’t we overestimating this kid?” Honest Qi said while laughing.
The black scarfed woman grunted yet again, ”If that kid was actually capable of noticing your spiritual imprint and then pass the misfortune onto somebody else, he could very likely follow your spiritual imprint to find that spirit stone quarry. This is our only clue. From what we found out, Mo Wuji was likely to be in the Thunder Fog Forest after arriving in An Yang and this was confirmed by the words of Cen Shuyin earlier. Where do you think he would have went if he wasn’t here?”
Honest Qi did not continue talking as the woman had already made her intentions clear. They have to find Mo Wuji even if he did not have the Celestial Sunflower Gold.
”He could have been killed too,” Honest Qi sighed. Previously, he thought he had Mo Wuji under his observation only to realise that Mo Wuji was not fooled by him. The one who was truly fooled was Honest Qi and he even lost a Solitary Dark Pill to him.
The black scarfed woman gave Honest Qi a cold look before ranting at him, ”You really think a scheming, crafty person like him would fall so easily in the war of cultivators? Only an idiot like you would die so easily here.”
Seeing how Honest Qi wanted to ask for instructions again, the black scarfed woman raised her hand to slap him. Honest Qi did not dare to dodge it as her slap landed heavily on him.
After slapping Honest Qi, the black scarfed woman said, ”If you are Mo Wuji who has offended many people in the sect, where would you hide after arriving here?”
”I wouldn’t be hiding because I would be rushing to get out of this place,” Honest Qi said exactly what was in his heart.
”So you are still a coward after all? Even an outer disciple like him had the guts to scold a lord straight in his face. Seems like you will never make it as an outer disciple in your entire life. Let me tell you now, if that Mo Wuji dared to fool you and even come to this war of cultivators voluntarily, he would not leave so easily. He must have had his own plans…” The black scarfed woman lashed out at him restlessly.
”I understand now, he would go to the Thunder Fog Forest…” Honest Qi blurted out energetically.
The black scarfed woman’s eyes lit up, ”That’s right, he could only go to the Thunder Fog Forest. Let’s go to the Thunder Fog Forest immediately. If we still couldn’t find the Celestial Sunflower this time round, we would have to leave the Lost Sky City’s underground market.
To investigate Mo Wuji, they had asked a lot of people for his whereabouts. Even though this was nothing significant, they had already revealed their own identity.
…
”Ah, this Thunder Fog Forest has too many lightning bolts. That kid must be insane to come here…”yet another lightning bolt struck Honest Qi’s shoulder before he had the time to avoid it as he could only curse. Within a day in the Thunder Fog Forest, he had been struck by over 10 lightning bolts.
Before Honest Qi could finish his sentence, he paused all of a sudden as he saw two men blocking their path.
”Idiot, how many times have I told you to keep your mouth shut?” The black scarfed woman raged at Honest Qi the moment she saw the two men in front of them.
”I must admit that both of you are quite gutsy so why do you have to be so sneaky? If you want to go to our Floating Star’s encampment, you could go there directly without making a detour through the Thunder Fog Forest,” the one speaking was a short and plump man.
The man, who had a head of golden hair, big wide ears and a little squarish eyes, was holding a pitched black steel ball. On the first glance, he looked just like a laughable short wintermelon. Both Honest Qi and the black scarfed woman grew suspicious as they would definitely not take this short wintermelon lightly. This short wintermelon’s spiritual aura was well reserved within him as if he was an immortal master.
