”Pill Master Mo, please hold on,” Just as Mo Wuji walked to the entrance, he was called back by a voice.
Mo Wuji stopped to look at the calm looking Lun Cai. Despite all the admiration he had for Lun Cai because of the way he was willing to disregard his own pride to plead his opponent for his concubine, Mo Wuji would never help Lun Cai. If it was some small feud, Mo Wuji could still forget about it. However, ever since Lun Cai killed his people and even caused the disappearance of Cen Shuyin, Mo Wuji had already formed a deadly feud with Lun Cai.
Upon hearing Lun Cai’s call for Mo Wuji, the rest of the people in the Heavenly Pond started paying close attention to the two of them consciously. The main reason was because of Mo Wuji’s recent limelight and there were even rumours saying that even Zhuo Pingan had became Mo Wuji’s bodyguard. In the Immortal World, even a Heavenly Emperor would not be qualified to hire a Grand Emperor to become his bodyguard. Or rather, even if a Heavenly Emperor managed to hire a Grand Emperor to be his bodyguard, he wouldn’t be able to hire Zhuo Pingan.
”Pill Master Mo, I know that you’re in an unfavorable situation as well. Therefore, if you are willing to help me this time, I, Lun Cai, would be standing right next to you whenever you need me. Whatever you request of me, as long as it's within my means, I, Lun Cai will do it without hesitation,” Lun Cai walked over to Mo Wuji and took the initiative to clasp his fists.
Back in the Heavenly Chasm Resthouse, his exasperation towards Mo Wuji surged to the maximum and he simply couldn’t wait to fight Mo Wuji. The instance Mo Wuji asked him to ‘scram’, Mo Wuji was already a man he promised to kill personally. However, when he returned and saw his skinny and rugged Xiang Shu and how she couldn’t hold on any longer, his immense fury turned into tenderness and heartache. All he could do now was to throw the pride of a Grand Emperor aside to take the initiative to continue pleading Mo Wuji.
”Pill Master Mo, I am aware of some of your misunderstandings with Grand Emperor Lun Cai. I am aware that some of your men died innocently but dead men can’t be brought back to life which is why we should always look forward to the future. I believe that Grand Emperor Lun Cai would definitely agree to your request in rebuilding the Tian Ji Pill House. If Pill Master Mo trust me, why don’t everyone bury the hatchet and move on,” Qing Yang walked over in an attempt to advise Mo Wuji.
On the surface, she appeared as if she was helping Lun Cai but only she knew that she was helping Mo Wuji. A few of his men were dead but there was nothing they could do to undo that now but if he were to form a good relationship with Lun Cai, he would have plenty of capable men working for him as long as he requested. Furthermore, there will always be unimportant people dying everyday in the Immortal World so Mo Wuji shouldn’t let the death of his men affect his future.
Mo Wuji was naturally aware of Qing Yang’s intentions to help him. He was in a tight spot now and the addition of Lun Cai’s help would be equivalent to another layer of strength. However, he was unable to accept Qing Yang’s point of view that those few of his men were unimportant. To Mo Wuji, those people were his friends in the Immortal World.
Back on earth, Mo Wuji had already form his moral values and he was unable and unwilling to change that now. Moreover, Lun Cai forced Cen Shuyin into hiding and Mo Wuji still couldn’t find her. This was definitely not a small feud that could be forgotten easily.
”Mo Wuji thank Landlord Qing Yang for her good suggestion,” After Mo Wuji clasped his fists towards Qing Yang, he turned to Lun Cai and said, ”Lun Cai, I have nothing to say to you. Also, you and I are people from two different worlds and we would never become friends.”
Mo Wuji turned and walked away the moment he finished his sentence.
”Arrogant little b*stard, you are only a mere Grand Yi Immortal who had dogsh*t luck to become a Tier 7 Pill Emperor. You won’t be able to remain this arrogant for long and think that the entire Immortal World is under your feet,” As he watched Mo Wuji neglecting the request of Grand Emperor Lun Cai, Sa Jian grasped the opportunity to curse at Mo Wuji.
”That’s right, he became a Tier 7 Pill Emperor by luck. It seems like you’re in luck too so why don’t you turn into a Tier 9 Pill Emperor at this instance?” The moment Sa Jian cursed at Mo Wuji, a clear and crisp voice could be heard.
Sa Jian grunted and just when he was about rebut, he saw the Gai Ao father and daughter pair. Evidently, the one speaking was Gai Ao’s daughter, Gai Feiyan.
He swallowed the words he was about to say and bowed respectfully, ”Greetings Heavenly Emperor.”
Gai Ao nodded his head without saying anything. He looked down on people like Sa Jian who was only good at cursing behind the back. If it wasn’t for the face of the Great Sword Path, Gai Ao wouldn’t even bother nodding his head.
...
Mo Wuji hurried back to his residence in the Heavenly Chasm Resthouse and noticed that Zhuo Pingan and Han Long were both in his room.
”Big Brother Mo, members of the Great Kun Buddhist Sect came here to bring me away but was stopped by Senior Zhuo,” Su Xi said anxiously.
Zhuo Pingan added, ”It was Hang Ke from the Great Kun Buddhist Sect. His cultivation level was very high and I believe he was only one step away from joining the ranks of the Grand Emperors.
Mo Wuji clenched his fist because no matter how hard he tried to overestimate Guang Xing’s shamelessness, Mo Wuji realised he was still underestimating him. This fella actually came up with a double insurance. Not only did he try to force out the location of Great Kun Buddhist Lamp, he even sent an Immortal Emperor expert to bring Su Xi away.
The moment Su Xi was brought away and even if the Great Kun Buddhist Sect managed to obtain the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp, he would still make Mo Wuji carry the blame. Fortunately for him, Zhuo Pingan was around to protect Su Xi.
”Wuji, I have to go now,” Han Long commented by the side.
Mo Wuji looked puzzledly at Han Long, ”Han Long, aren’t you going to the Gods Tower?”
Han Long explained, ”My purpose of coming here was indeed to go to the Gods Tower and I even managed to get one rare slot to enter the Gods Tower out of luck. However, I have something urgent on hand which I’ve written on the jade letter.”
Han Long handed Mo Wuji the jade letter and the Gods Tower token after explaining to Mo Wuji.
