Chapter 655 Mo Family
Mo Wuji wore a bitter smile, Qin Yi was Qin Yi, he couldn't really treat him as Qin Ankang.
"Try again." Qin Yi said.
Mo Wuji steadied his emotions and said casually, "Ankang, get ready, we're leaving Yinfeng City immediately."
Qin Yi nodded, "That's much better."
Mo Wuji continued to smile bitterly.
"Why are you the one smiling bitterly? I've become your follower; the one who should be smiling bitterly is me."
"Brother Qin, please understand, this was not my intention..."
"Alright, alright. I've suddenly realized you're genuinely old-fashioned, just like those old scholars." Qin Yi waved his hand, "Once we're ready, let's set off."
Mo Wuji bowed, "After you, Brother Qin."
"Young Master, wrong again." Qin Ankang reminded.
Mo Wuji slapped his forehead, "I'll be sure to pay more attention next time."
"Come on, let's slowly get it right along the way,"
Mo Wuji looked at Qin Ankang, "Once the matter is settled, I'll come to pick you up."
"Young Master Qin, take care."
Qin Yi and Mo Wuji rose into the sky, transforming into two streaks of light disappearing into the distance.
...
...
Emperor Valley, surrounded by mountains, resembled the Dragon Protection Wall outside Azure Dragon Mountain. Without a guide, one could easily get lost in these deep forests.
Deep within the valley, there was a hidden family, the Mo Family.
Thick fog enveloped the forest, and two figures emerged.
"No wonder hidden families are so mysterious, hidden in such places. Without you leading the way, I'd never find it," Qin Yi said with a smile.
Just now, the path was either dense forest or swamp, with innumerable poisonous insects and rodents. The fog inside the dense forest did not disperse; without a guide, one would end up going in circles.
Mo Wuji chuckled, "Hidden families are indeed mysterious, but they are entrenched in their ways and blindly arrogant, having long lost touch with the outside world."
"Aren't the outside Guardian Families dependent on you hidden families?" Qin Yi asked.
Mo Wuji nodded, "That's right, and many of them are. Hidden family powers are strong due to their long heritage, but they are just stronger in terms of martial might. They are quite lacking in commerce, so they have to rely on the outside world for necessary supplies."
"So, the hidden families are a bunch of big babies," Qin Yi teased.
Mo Wuji laughed, "More or less."
As they spoke, Qin Yi saw in the distance ancient buildings hidden among the lush vegetation and large rocks.
"Brother Qin, we're here. From now on, I must trouble you,"
Qin Yi smiled and took a step back, following behind Mo Wuji.
"Who goes there?"
The two approached the grand vermilion gates as two guards in ochre outfits stepped out.
These clothes are hideous, Qin Yi silently despised them. What taste did these Mo Family people have, wearing dung-colored clothes?
"It's me." Mo Wuji said calmly.
The two guards looked at Mo Wuji without any respect in their eyes, instead filled with disdain.
"Token, no one may enter without a token,"
"You scoundrels, open your dog-eyes wide and see clearly, this is the Young Mo." Qin Yi, now posing as Qin Ankang, had to protect the main character.
The two guards exchanged glances, full of disdain. One looked at Mo Wuji, "Oh, it's Young Mo. Forgive us for not recognizing you. But Young Mo still needs a token."
Mo Wuji handed over an oval stone token without expression.
One of the guards took a look, "Hmm, it's real. You may enter."
"Ankang, let's go." Mo Wuji retrieved the token and led Qin Yi inside.
"Hmph, really thinks he's a Young Master."
"Just a dog living under others' roofs, not even entirely pure Mo Family blood in his veins."
The two guards muttered disdainfully.
Qin Yi and Mo Wuji walked away, but with their hearing, they heard every word clearly.
Looks like Mo Wuji's position in the Mo Family is really awkward.
"Being a Young Master is too humiliating, isn't it?"
Mo Wuji gave a bitter smile, "What kind of Young Master am I? Even ordinary disciples live better than me. If not to fulfill my father's dying wish, I would've left the Mo Family long ago."
Qin Yi smiled, "Don't worry, since I promised to help you, I will make sure you rise to the position of Family Head in the Mo Family."
"Actually, I don't care about the Family Head position, but only the Family Head can change the family rules. Without changing the rules, my parents cannot be buried together."
Qin Yi looked around, "Truly a good place, the air is pleasant, and the Spiritual Energy is much denser than outside."
Here, there's no need for artificial landscaping; everywhere is filled with greenery, rock mountains, small bridges, and flowing water, all naturally formed.
"Thousands of grand buildings, but only seven feet needed for slumber."
"Oh, our hero has returned?"
Just as Qin Yi was about to speak, a richly clad young man with a sword approached, followed by several beautiful maids holding fruit and wine.
Damn, this guy knows how to enjoy himself, Qin Yi thought sourly.
Mo Wuji slightly bowed, "Young Mo."
His own surname was Mo, yet he had to address someone else as Young Mo. One could imagine how stifling this was for Mo Wuji.
The young man turned, plucked a grape from a maid's tray, and threw it at Mo Wuji, mockingly saying, "Here, you've worked hard, this is your reward."
Qin Yi's eyes slightly narrowed, this gesture was utterly humiliating, like feeding a dog.
Qin Yi flicked a finger lightly, sending out a streak of Purple Light, shattering the grape instantly.
The young man's face turned cold with anger, "What a dog servant, daring to destroy my property."
With that, a powerful aura surged around him as he raised his hand, striking at Qin Yi, the terrifying power forming a white light, imposing and intimidating.
Qin Yi's eyes slightly narrowed, with a hint of killing intent flashing through.
However, Mo Wuji unfolded the paper fan in his hand, with a gentle wave, a surge of Gang Qi burst forth, thrashing and completely shattering the young man's power.
"Mo Wuji, what do you mean by this? Are you saying I can't even discipline a servant?" the young man shouted loudly.
Qin Yi was internally fuming. If he wasn't masquerading as Qin Ankang right now, he'd have slapped this idiot to death.
Mo Wuji said calmly, "He is my man, no need for you to take action. I still have to see the Family Head, farewell."
"Mo Wuji, are you seeing the Family Head to report good news or bad? Did you manage to kill Qin Yi?" the young man sneered again and again.
Mo Wuji remained expressionless and didn't answer, leading Qin Yi away directly.
"Brother Qin, I sincerely apologize for putting you through this."
Qin Yi's eyes slightly narrowed, "That guy's cultivation isn't weak, Nascent Soul Late Stage. I wonder if he's also going into the Secret Realm this time?"
"His name is Mo Tianwei, he's the grandson of the second master, of course, he'll enter the Secret Realm."
"Then it's not wronged, I never get wronged." Qin Yi's lips curled slightly.
Mo Tianwei, we'll meet in the Secret Realm, and if I don't beat you so hard your mom won't recognize you, I'll consider it my loss.
