Chapter 214 Shang Mingzi (1/2)

Mo Xie heard young master Hong's words yet didn't bother with it, at the least, he could deal with this kind of small sect on his own, much less, an arrogant young master.

As Mo Xie entered the rundown house, he didn't find anything special.

Still, there are overused clothes that seemed to be used by rich people.

Now, Mo Xie only has a single thought; 'Why are they living a life of poverty?'

The answer came abruptly as the question arrives: 'Usurpation...'

Remembering the time where that Young Master Hong called Ao Bai 'Young Master', Mo Xie immediately connected the dots.

He couldn't help but sigh.

At this moment, Ao Bai's words sounded: ”Expert, please come and sit down, we only have warm water to offer you though...”

Mo Xie nods his head, he looked at the window and saw that the view isn't really that bad.

Mo Xie took the cup and drank it in one gulp.

”Expert, what do you need in coming to our sect?” Ao Bai asked, his little sisters looked at Mo Xie in an expectant way.

Mo Xie smiled at then and replied: ”I'm merely trying to have a place to sleep, but now I have a goal.”

Ao Bai continued to heat some more water as he nods: ”Oh, what is it?”

”I need to gather all the herbs in this sect.” Mo Xie spoke in a serious tone.

”Herbs?” Ao Bai opened his eyes widely before chuckles: ”Expert, I didn't mean to laugh at you, I merely found it funny in a way.”

”You mean?” Mo Xie asked.

Ao Bai smiled as he poured another cup of warm water over Mo Xie's cup and spoke: ”The herbs in this sect are extremely scarce, hence, every ounce of it is extremely special for the Sect.”

Hearing his words, Mo Xie couldn't help but chuckle; 'So those herbs were merely treated as designs...'

Mo Xie couldn't help but sigh.

Fei Ling then spoke: ”Brother... are we not going to have anything to eat today too?”

Ao Bai smiled bitterly at the twins: ”Tomorrow, we'll definitely have a sumptuous meal”

”Yey!” Fei Ling and Lin Fei jumped in excitement.

Mo Xie smiled at the two sisters, he just wished that Aiqing is doing alright.

With that, Mo Xie was about to take a few gold coins to treat them but before he could, the sound of a few people approach can be heard from tens of meters away.

Mo Xie couldn't help but smile, these people might be the ones that that young master Hong had tasked to 'teach' him a lesson.

Mo Xie prepared himself, but then, the door abruptly opened.

”Bai! You returned safely!” A female's voice sounded, her tone full of worry as she carried no hint of malice.

Mo Xie looked at the figure and couldn't help but be shocked; 'Shang Mingzi?!'

Shang Mingzi is Shang Ting's eldest sister, but then, Mo Xie couldn't help but look at her in disbelief.

She's wearing commoner's wear, tattered at that too.

That prideful lady actually wore such clothes? Mo Xie couldn't help but feel worried now.

Shang Mingzi gazed at Mo Xie before looking at Ao Bai, she rushed towards him and hugged him: ”I'm glad, I'm glad you've returned safely!”

”Sister-in-law! We're safe too!” Fei Lin and Ling Fei shouted as they pout their tiny mouth.
