Chapter 633: The Ordinariness That Could Not Be Transcended (2/2)

But just as my master caught the lampwick, Qi Junyi suddenly attacked. My master hurriedly kept it and had a huge battle with him. Eventually, both of them fought to a standstill. Just when I was about to bring my master to leave, he was so despicable as to call the other people from Lightning Sect to surround us. My master risked her life to escape to Heavenly Chasm City…”

The part that came afterwards did not need to be said; Mo Wuji already knew about it.

”Is that lamp very important? Your master should not have know of Qi Junyi’s ideas, right?” The only thing that Mo Wuji did not expect was that Yuan Yi could actually be so strong, to even be able to suppress Qi Junyi. If this was put in some other words, if Yuan Yi had not been so agitated during the trade which resulted in her being sneak attacked by Qi Junyi, this trade might have ended smoothly.

Su Xi nodded, ”Yes, it’s the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp. It is one of the core treasures of my Meditation Nunnery. In the past, my master told me the Meditation Nunnery was the number one Buddhist sect in the entire Immortal World. However, because the lampwick of the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp went missing, the Meditation Nunnery gradually went into moribund, and eventually became a sole legacy.”

”You’re saying that now that your master is dead, you’re the only person left in Meditation Nunnery?” Mo Wuji asked in doubt.

Su Xi nodded, then she shook her head. After her master died, she did not know where she could go. However, she knew that regardless what happened, she must not let the Meditation Nunnery end.

”You seem to have some words to say?” Mo Wuji asked hurriedly when he noticed Su Xi’s conflicting actions.

Su Xi hesitated before saying, ”Actually, Meditation Nunnery has another branch, it’s called the Great Kun Buddhist Sect…”

”That’s not right. You said that the Meditation Nunnery’s core treasure is the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp, so the Great Kun Buddhist Sect should have been the main sect, right?” Mo Wuji immediately detected the flaws in Su Xi’s words.

Su Xi shook her head and said, ”It’s not like that. The Great Kun Buddhist Sect was only formed by some disciples who left the Meditation Nunnery after the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp disappeared. It’s said that a great war happened those years ago. After the war, the Meditation Nunnery began to crumble. The Great Kun Buddhist Lamp had also disappeared during that war.”

”Then is the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp’s lamp dish in your master’s hands?” Mo Wuji continued asking.

Su Xi was as clean as a piece of white paper; she completely didn’t know anything about schemes or anything of the like. The moment Mo Wuji asked her this question, she did not have any qualms as she answered, ”Yes, this lamp dish is incredible. It was because of this lamp dish that my master was able to know the direction of the lamp wick. The reason why my master brought me to Heavenly Chasm City was to merge the lamp dish and the lampwick.”

”Then does the Great Kun Buddhist Sect know that the lamp dish is with the Meditation Nunnery?” Mo Wuji asked one question after another.

”They don’t know. My master said that they must not know. If they ever find out, they would definitely not let go of my Meditation Nunnery.”

When he heard Su Xi’s words, Mo Wuji’s heart sunk. From the looks of it, he didn’t merely deepen his enmity with the Lightning Sect by saving Su Xi; he even formed a new enemy.

As he thought of this, Mo Wuji felt bouts of pain in his head. If he were to let this paper-clean little nun out to fend on her own, it would be akin to throwing her out to die. But if he kept her behind, then he would be forming more enemies.

This was unless Su Xi decides to give the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp away when Great Kun Buddhist Sect comes. However, the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp was something that Yuan Yi had exchanged her life for, would Su Xi simply give it up like that?

”If the Great Kun Buddhist Sect came for your Great Kun Buddhist Lamp, what would you do?” Mo Wuji still decided to ask this question; such matters needed to be confronted upfront.

Su Xi went into a daze; she had just realised that the Lightning Sect was not the only one coveting her Great Kun Buddhist Lamp. The Great Kin Buddhist Sect wanted it to.

Soon, she answered resolutely, ”This was exchanged for with my master’s life. I will never hand it to them, unless I die.”

Mo Wuji sighed in his heart, then he said, ”You’re lacking experience. In the future, if anyone asks you about the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp, you must say that you don’t know anything about it.”

Su Xi stared at Mo Wuji blankly. She only nodded after some time.

”You should go to the room and rest. I will help you handle the other matters. Once a person is dead, he cannot be brought back to life. What you need to do now is to raise your cultivation,” Mo Wuji consoled.

When he first met Su Xi, Su Xi would even joke with him. She was innocent and naive, without any stains from the viccissitudes of life. After experiencing all these things, Mo Wuji could see a hint of haziness in Su Xi’s eyes.

Some times, growing up was accompanied by darkness; Su Xi would slowly enter into this contaminated world and he had no means of stopping it. He only hoped that she would still be able to maintain her pure heart.

Su Xi bowed to Mo Wuji, then she carried her master into the other room.

Mo Wuji released the seals on the door and Zhuo Pingan walked in. He looked at Su Xi’s room and sighed, ”You just caused another huge trouble.”

Mo Wuji ruffled his hair; how could he not know that he was in deep trouble. Even though the Meditation Nunnery was merely a sole legacy sect, it had an expert like Yuan Yi. Since that Great Kun Buddhist Sect was a branch of the Meditation Nunnery, how could it be simple? But would he just let Su Xi go? He was sure that the moment Su Xi’s first feet left Heavenly Chasm City, the rest of her body would quickly be turned to a corpse.

Mo Wuji really couldn’t bear to do such thing. Sometimes, he felt that he was already adapted to the cruelty of the Immortal World. But he found that he was still an ordinary human, with an ordinary heart. He was unable to neglect the sanctity of life. Even though he was already at the Grand Yi Immortal Stage, as well as a Tier 7 Pill Emperor, he was still unable to transcend this ordinariness. However, he did not want to transcend this ordinariness.
