”You are Senior Sister Wen,” Mo Wuji said in joy and then hurried to point to the chair opposite him, ”Senior Sister Wen, I was just asking around if you came to the Yong Ying Immortal Domain.”

Wen Lianxi’s excitement had yet to die away but as she recalled how she treated Mo Wuji previously, her face blushed. When Mo Wuji called for her, she hurried to bow and then said, ”Pill Master Mo, please don’t address me as Senior Sister. If you still respect me, Pill Master Mo can address me directly as Lianxi.”

”Alright Lianxi, please take a seat,” Mo Wuji didn’t mind because in terms of cultivation, he was still slightly higher than Wen Lianxi. In terms of status, he was not too far off to address her as Lianxi.

Only upon hearing this, Wen Lianxi sat down cautiously before saying, ”Pill Master Mo, I was blind to have thought of you as a cheater back then.”

Mo Wuji hesitated for a while before saying, ”Actually, you were not wrong because I did lie to you back then.”

”Ah…” Wen Lianxi looked surprisingly at Mo Wuji.

Mo Wuji explained helplessly, ”Back then, I was a peak grade Tier 3 Pill Monarch and could also be considered to be a low grade Pill King. However, I claimed to be a Tier 9 Heavenly Pill Master which was a lie.”

Only Mo Wuji was aware that his statement of his was the lie and his claim back then held more truth. However, he had no choice but to lie because there would be problems if he didn’t lie and then went on to display the skills of a Pill King in the Yong Ying Immortal Domain Grand Alchemy Competition.

If he were to mention that he was a Tier 3 Pill Monarch previously, it wouldn’t be too much of a surprise for him to have became a Pill King now.

”I know, I know and I have truly let Pill Master Mo down. Back then, I…” Wen Lianxi spoke and was about to stand up.

Mo Wuji used his hand to prevent Wen Lianxi from standing up before smiling, ”We shall let bygones be bygones and if it wasn’t for your life-saving grace, I wouldn’t even be sitting in front of you now. This was the main reason why I didn’t put that incident to heart so you don’t have to worry about it.”

One look at Wen Lianxi’s expression and he knew that Wen Lianxi was apologetic about poisoning him back then. However, Mo Wuji really didn’t mind the fact that she placed a poison in him not because she wanted to harm him but because she didn’t know him. Anyone else, including himself, would have done the same. Moreover, Wen Lianxi did take the initiative to hand him the antidote because if he didn’t receive the antidote, he wouldn’t bother sitting in front of her now.

It was solely because of the antidote which made Mo Wuji extremely grateful for Wen Lianxi. Back then, he still wasn’t fully aware of the uses of the elemental storage channel so without Wen Lianxi, he wouldn’t have any idea on recovering his cultivation. In a place like the Corner of Yong Ying, if he didn’t have any strength, he would be killed by others easily.

Furthermore, if it wasn’t for Wen Lianxi, he would never have gotten the Grass, Wood, Stone. One must know that the Grass, Wood, Stone was of massive help to Mo Wuji and it was one of the main reason why he could advance so quickly to become a Pill King. Of course, the other main reason would be his own extraordinary Pill Dao.

There were far too many people in this world who only remember the bad of people. Even if someone were to treat one well for the entire life, as long as one did something unsatisfactory, the same person would remember it for life. As for the good, one would completely forget it immediately.

Back on earth, Mo Wuji watched an interview before. It was about a young girl who left house after being reprimanded by her mother. When she was starving and freezing on her own outside, a kind hearted uncle gave her a bowl of noodles to eat. After that, she was extremely grateful and believed that this uncle treated her better than her parents and even wanted to acknowledge this uncle as his father.

At this moment, she forgot how she came to this world and who fed her through her growing years.

This was a bad habit deeply rooted in a human’s heart but Mo Wuji was definitely not someone like that. He would never forget Wen Lianxi’s kind acts over some unimportant matters. Because of this gratitude, he would completely forget all the other unimportant matters which made him different from the rest.

”You knew back then that I placed poison in you?” Even though she knew the answer, Wen Lianxi still sounded it out.

Mo Wuji chuckled, ”Back then, I was afterall a pill master who was close to being a pill king but what made me glad was the fact that you brought me the antidote eventually.”

At this moment, if there was a gap on the ground, Wen Lianxi would force herself through it to avoid the embarrassment. She wasn’t restrained by Mo Wuji’s act of stopping her as she stood up and bowed, ”Thank you Big Brother Mo for your magnanimity to forgive a clueless person like me.”

Wen Lianxi understood Mo Wuji’s words which meant to say that even if she didn’t hand him the antidote, the poison wouldn’t have affected Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji said that he was grateful that she handed him the antidote but it wasn’t true gratitude but a confirmation of her character. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be qualified to be talking to him like she was now.

After she finished, Wen Lianxi continued, ”The reason why I came here today is because I wish to ask Big Brother Mo for your help.”
