Chapter 197: Da Shixiong! (Big Senior Apprentice Brother) (2/2)
”Senior 2705, I represent my Golden Crow Sect to formally invite senior to join our sect…”
”May I ask how do we address senior?”
…
After verifying that Mo Wuji was Rogue Cultivator 2705, the Lei Clan people were cast aside as the crowd went forward to greet Mo Wuji. If it was possible, some of this people would love to take photographs with Mo Wuji, or even ask for his autograph.
Only Xue Tongsi looked a little desolate; she really hoped for 2705 to be that black faced monk. Unfortunately, this fella had took out his contribution point token, but clearly this person wasn’t that black faced monk.
Mo Wuji clasped his fists, ”Thank you various dao friends for your support. I’m Ming Xinghe, dao friends can directly call me Xinghe. I met Dao Friend Hou several times before, Dao Friend Hou is compassionate and warm hearted, magnanimous and broad minded, how could he be the brute as those people said? Let’s look from a different perspective, everyone take a look at the Lei Chenghe fella’s face, then back as Dao Friend Hou. It’s clear who is the rapist is.”
Mo Wuji still have many enemies, like that Jin Yu and Honest Qi, who were hunting him down. Thus, Mo Wuji could not casually reveal his name and origins.
”Ha Ha…” Mo Wuji’s words induced laughter in all ten floors of the teahouse. Lei Chenghe’s appearance could not be considered disgustingly bad, but when compared to Hou Yucheng, it was simply horrendous.
Even though the story could not be judged based on looks alone, it had to depend on who was the one speaking. It was Rogue Cultivator 2705 after all. A vagabond who fought hard for his homeland against the alien cultivators by himself; the role model for countless of other rogue cultivators and sects. His words naturally carried much weight.
Lei Chenghe’s entire body was trembling, his face swelled in anger but he didn’t dare do anything. The situation had been completely upended by Mo Wuji; now, it wasn’t the five Lei Clan members against the two, Mo WUji and Hou Yucheng, but the five against the entire Immortal Jade House.
”Let’s go.” Seeing that Hou Yucheng could not be killed, Lei Chenghe directed his four clan members as he turned and left.
Hou Yucheng inwardly heaved a sigh of relief. He was incredibly grateful towards Mo Wuji. If not for this Rogue Cultivator 2705, he would have been brought away by Lei Chenghe and died a painful death.
Mo Wuji flicked his wrist and a steel pole appeared in his hands, ”You framed Dao Friend Hou, and you even intended to kill him to steal his fortune. Now that your ruse has been exposed, do you think you just leave like that? Since when was there such a good thing in life?”
If it was the newly transmigrated Mo Wuji, he definitely wouldn’t have pushed the matter further and let Lei Chenghe leave. But now, Mo Wuji had learnt of an important life lesson; here, no one would think that you were being polite or saving trouble, they would only think that you’re a coward.
Seeing the steel pole in Mo Wuji’s hand, a flash of light streaked across Hou Yucheng’s eyes and his face was instantly filled with colour. He finally understood why this Rogue Cultivator 2705 would stand up for him, turns out 2705 was Mo Wuji. He had always known that Mo Wuji was far from ordinary, but he never expected that in a short one to two years, Mo Wuji had actually become such an expert.
All this was secondary, the most important thing was that he had made a right judgement of Mo Wuji, he had truly befriended the right person.
”It’s really you.” Xue Tongsi’s eyes also shone with radiance, ”Senior Xinghe, have we met before? Were you the one who risked your life to save Lady Yan’Er, and even helped Senior Jinwen to kill that True Lake Stage hook nose?” At the very first instant, Xue Tongsi spammed Mo Wuji was a barrage of questions.
Mo Wuji smiled faintly, clasping his fists, ”That’s right. I was that black faced monk with a scar of my face. Previously, I had changed my appearance.”
By the side, Hou Yucheng was chuckling. Mo Wuji did not only change his appearance then. Even now, he was under disguise.
Xue Tongsi smiled radiantly as she turned to face the crowd, ”See, I was right.”
Listening in on the conversation between Mo Wuji and Xue Tongsi, the crowd instantly became more lively.
”Senior Xinghe, you really helped Pill Master Jinwen kill a True Lake Stage expert?”
”Senior Xinghe, when you were surrounded by hundreds of alien cultivators, how did you fight your way out?”
”Would Senior Xinghe need to fight his way out? Senior Xinghe must have massacred those alien ants one by one, before slowly walking out.”
…
The crowd surrounded Mo Wuji, and various questions and words of adoration bombarded over.
Xue Tongsi raised her hand to quell the crowd, speaking loudly, ”Various Dao Friend, not only did Senior Xinghe fight to protect our homeland, he pitted his life to fight the alien cultivators alone. He is a person who does not fear death, risking his life to save a stranger. Cultivators of our generation should treat Senior Xinghe as a target of emulation. I, Xue Tongsi, would like to announce in front of everyone, that from today onwards, Senior Xinghe, is my Da Shixiong!” (Big senior apprentice brother)
”From today onwards, Senior Xinghe is also my Da Shixiong.” Many cultivators in the crowd voiced out.
Da Shixiong? Mo Wuji suddenly felt his balls hurting. Do I look like a monkey? [1]
