Chapter 916: Visitors (2/2)
Just as Tie Zheng left, Qu You walked out of the establishment opposite the Hall of Affairs. She had seen it clearly; Tie Zheng was indeed looking for someone.
This caused her to shake her head. What kind of person was Tie Zheng? Why would he hide in the seafloor of God Domain Nest just to ambush her? Even if Tie Zheng was injured, it definitely wasn't in the God Domain Nest Sea.
…
”Mo Wuji?” Just as Mo Wuji walked into the God Domain Nest's gathering area for sects, he heard a voice call out to him.
Mo Wuji turned and saw a familiar face - Liu Ruting. This woman looked like she had already recovered. Moreover, her face was like a peach flower, giving her the charm of a mature woman.
”Greetings Senior Sister Liu.” Mo Wuji could tell that Liu Ruting was at least in the Heavenly God Stage, much stronger than him. Even though he didn’t help Liu Ruting much, he could tell that this woman was relatively easy to fall in love. If he knew that he would encounter her, he would have rather hid outside for a little longer. In fact, he had already hid outside for half a day because he saw a cultivator with a similar silhouette as Yu Zhenna.
”Why did you also come to God Domain Nest? Aren't you an outer disciple? Did you come to help?” Liu Ruting asked a series of questions.
When he heard these questions, Mo Wuji knew that this woman didn't even ask about what happened with Xi Nianmo and him. Indeed, she was as he had predicted - she fell in love extremely easily. He, Mo Wuji, didn’t actually help her much. It was Xi Nianmo, on the other hand, that helped Liu Ruting significantly. At the very least, all of the transfer fees for Liu Ruting to return to Nine Evolutions God Sect was paid by Xi Nianmo.
”Oh, that Lu Xingteng only asked for Xi Nianmo and my name. Then, he left.” Mo Wuji said indifferently.
A look of anger instantly appeared on Liu Ruting's face and she said, ”Wow that Lu Xingteng
He actually dared to do such a thing. If he's unwilling to help with the arrangements, you only need to tell me. I will arrange it myself.”
Mo Wuji sneered in his heart. He didn't even want to speak any further. If this woman was willing to arrange it by herself, then she would have known that he was no longer in Nine Evolutions God Sect.
Liu Ruting's came and left in a breeze, ”Oh right, why are you here? This is the God Domain Nest's gathering area for sects.”
Mo Wuji calmly said, ”I have entered Heavenly Mortal Sect. Heavenly Mortal Sect's Elder Wei Jie believes that my bone structure is perfect and my talent is unique. Thus, he accepted me as the sect’s head disciple to manage the sect’s external affairs.”
”Pssh!” Hearing Mo Wuji say that he was in charge of sect affairs, Liu Ruting could not help but laugh out loud. Thereafter, she seemed to notice that her laughter wasn't very polite to Mo Wuji. She hurriedly added, ”I didn't mean that ah.”
Mo Wuji chucked, ”That's alright. That's not the first time that someone did that. Farewell.”
With that, Mo Wuji no longer cared about Liu Ruting as he turned and walked into Heavenly Mortal Sect's encampment.
”Mo Wuji, if you need my help with anything, remember to tell me.” Even as Mo Wuji left, Liu Ruting did not seem to notice his attitude. She still called behind him.
”He's called Mo Wuji?” A deep and gentle voice sounded beside Liu Ruting's ear. Liu Ruting turned and saw Tie Zheng.
”So it's Junior Brother Tie. That's right, he's called Mo Wuji. He's a fella with rather good luck.” Liu Ruting snickered.
”Oh, a fella with rather good luck?” Tie Zheng looked at the distant Heavenly Mortal Sect encampment and frowned slightly. Even though he only saw a glimpse of Mo Wuji's back, he seemed to feel that he had met Mo Wuji before. However, he couldn't recall where he met Mo Wuji.
…
”Wuji, come here for a moment.” Just as Mo Wuji entered the Heavenly Mortal Sect encampment, Ancestor Pang Jie called out to him.
”Yes.” Even though Ancestor Pang Jie took away his promised placing, Mo Wuji’s respect towards Pang Jie didn't change. He responded and hurriedly went to Pang Jie's quarters.
”Greetings Senior Brother.” Mo Wuji bowed as he entered the room.
There were two other people in Pang Jie's room. Mo Wuji recognised one of them; it was Forgotten Creek Dao School's Lan Ou. There was also another middle-aged man. From his powerful aura, it was clear that he was a peak expert.
”Senior Brother?” That middle-aged man stared at Mo Wuji in astonishment.
Pang Jie chucked and said, ”Dao Friend Ji, when I first met Wuji, it was like meeting an old friend. So, we address each other on equal levels.”
After saying that, Pang Jie said to Mo Wuji, ”Wuji, you know Senior Sister Lan Ou so I won't be introducing her. This here is Forgotten Creek Dao School's Elder Ji Yi. Hurry and pay your greetings.”
Mo Wuji clasped his fists and said, ”Heavenly Mortal Sect disciple Mo Wuji greets Elder Ji Yi.”
He was feeling helpless in his heart; not for himself but for Pang Jie. Ancestor Pang Jie was clearly in the God King Stage while this Elder Ji Yi definitely wasn't. However, Ancestor Pang Jie still had to treat him so cordially. This was true helplessness. It was because Heavenly Mortal Sect was too weak. On the other hand, a World God of Forgotten Creek Dao School had to be received by a God King.
