”Yes, I need to first find a place to condense my immortal lattice. After I finish with that, we can go to the Immortal Seeking Staircase,” Mo Wuji answered.

Han Qingru asked in doubt, ”Junior brother, you managed to get the placing to enter the Corner of Yong Ying Joint Auction, but you’re not intending to go?”

Mo Wuji shook his head, ”I can’t go. The reason why I had them give me the jade token was because I’m not intending to go. I dare say, if I were to go, no matter how I disguise myself, I would still be encircled by Golden Immortals. I have never seen the power of a Golden Immortal, but even if I condense my immortal lattice, I dare not say that I can trump over a Golden Immortal. And if there are more than one Golden Immortal, then it would be hard for me to even escape.”

Han Qingru’s experience could not be compared to Mo Wuji. After hearing Mo Wuji’s words, she suddenly woke up her idea. The reason why that First Cultivator Merchant House woman didn’t hesitate to agree to Junior Brother Mo’s demands was because she believed that Junior Brother Mo would definitely go to the auction. If he did, then he wouldn’t be able to escape.

”Sorry.” As Han Qingru thought about the mess she created, she felt very guilty.

Mo Wuji laughed gently, ”It’s okay. I used to be a white paper like you. Actually, I couldn’t even be compared to you; I was even stabbed in the back by the person I trusted the most. I guess, maturation comes with a price.”

”Oh, who’s that?” Han Qingru asked in astonishment. She felt that Mo Wuji was a principled man, and not some hypocrite who double crosses his friends. Since that person was Mo Wuji’s friend, why would he stab Mo Wuji in the back?

Mo Wuji shook his head, ”It’s okay. I have already forgotten about such matters. Let’s return back and start condensing my immortal lattice.”

…

Jing Yang, one of the seven biggest cities in China. Even in the entire world, Jing Yang was considered a first class city.

Mount Jing Shou, the tallest mountain outside of Jing Yang City. The Jing Yang River winds around Mount Jing Yang, supplementing Mount Jing Yang’s majesty and grandeur.

At this instant, on the side of Mount Jing Shou closer to the river, a young woman in a white dress was standing in front of a tomb. She seemed to be like a statue as she stood there, unmoving. If not for the gentle breeze which caused her dress to flutter, many would have thought that she was really a statue. The chill of the evening on Qing Ming Festival [1] was unable to do anything to her.

There were two rows of words inscribed on the tomb: Mo Wuji’s Tomb; Erected by Wen Xiaoqi.

The sun trembled slightly as it approached the West, radiating brilliant red light; this scene looked especially beautiful.

After some unknown period of time, this white dressed woman bowed slowly. With a hoarse and raspy voice, she muttered, ”Another year of Qing Ming. I don’t pray for your forgiveness, I just hope that you…”

As she got to this point, she seemed to be unable to speak any further, slowly clenching her fists tightly.

A woman holding a bamboo basket slowly walked over; her steps seemed to be accompanied with a limp. When she reached the back of this white dressed woman, she remained silent without a word.

The white dressed woman seemed to know that someone had come. She slowly turned to see the woman, who had an aged expression on her face. After some time, the white dressed woman finally said, ”Xiaoqi, thanks for helping Wuji erect his tomb. Also, thank you for taking care of it over these years.”

The woman with the aged look said calmly, ”Xia Ruoyin, everything that I did has nothing to do with you.”

After finishing this sentence, the aged woman named ‘Xiaoqi’ slowly walked in front of the tomb. She took out some offerings from her bamboo basket and placed them in front of the tomb. After which, she took out some paper money [2] and burned it. Each action she took was meticulous and smooth, as though she was already used to it.

Xia Ruoyin looked at this woman; this woman was two years younger than her, but this woman’s face was actually so hardened and mature. After some time, she suddenly turned. Soon, she was already in the distance.

After some time, Wen Xiaoqi also turned her head; she stared at the silhouette of Xia Ruoyin and tightly clenched her fists. She sighed, then lowered her head and muttered to herself, ”Sorry, Wuji. I’m not able to help you take revenge and kill this despicable woman.”

”You know?” An icy cold voice suddenly sounded beside Wen Xiaoqi’s ear. Wen Xiaoqi stared at Xia Ruoyin in astonishment. She had clearly seen Xia Ruoyin walk off into the distance, how could she have suddenly appeared in front of her?

However, she immediately cast that thought aside. Her tone was calm as she said, ”That’s right, I know everything. Wuji had been stabbed in the back. He spent his time every day occupied with his research. Besides you, no one else would have been allowed into his lab. Wuji gave his heart to you, but because of a drug formula, you actually plotted against him. You’re not a human, you can’t even be considered a beast.”
