Chapter 704: Humiliation
The two were chatting so intensely that they didn't even notice Bai Jingqing approaching.
Mo Wuji stood there like a student caught misbehaving by the teacher, completely stunned.
Qin Yi nonchalantly smiled and said, "Little Bai Fairy, eavesdropping on others is not a good habit, you know?"
"You're just like Zhu Bajie, turning the tables." Bai Jingqing slid down from a nearby tree, eyeing Qin Yi coldly, "If what you were talking about is all above board, why fear me eavesdropping?"
"We were discussing your matters with old Mo, these affairs of love, discussing them openly is no big deal, it's just that we're afraid little Bai Fairy might be too thin-skinned to handle it."
Bai Jingqing's face turned frosty, "Since you know that, why talk so eagerly?"
"Weren't you listening just as intently too?"
Bai Jingqing's face clouded over, she knew that when it comes to being roguish, she was no match for Qin Yi.
"Awooo~"
The little creature in Qin Yi's arms must have sensed Bai Jingqing's hostility towards Qin Yi and unhappily barked at Bai Jingqing.
Bai Jingqing was slightly taken aback, "So this little lamb is yours?"
Earlier, it was this little lamb that bit Mo Wuji's arm, so she recognized it.
"Found it along the way, so I saved it, isn't it cute?" Qin Yi grasped the little creature's front hoof and waved it, "Quick, say hi to your sister Bai."
"It is quite cute, a thousand times more so than you."
Qin Yi: "..."
Bai Jingqing suddenly turned sober, looking around, "Where are my three senior sisters?"
Qin Yi was slightly puzzled, "Didn't they come to find you? We split up not long after leaving the village, I had some matters to attend to, so I asked them to find you first."
Bai Jingqing shook her head, "We haven't seen them. Earlier when the fierce beasts went wild, could it be that…"
"No way, during the beast frenzy we were still together, we only split after being safe. They might have gone the wrong way, or perhaps they're slower than me, they should catch up in a couple of days. Doesn't your Baihua Pavilion have special secret markers?"
Bai Jingqing nodded.
"Then there won't be any problem, as long as there are markers, they'll catch up sooner or later."
Qin Yi shifted the topic, "Let's talk about serious matters. How long until we reach the treasure location marked on the map?"
"About another day." Mo Wuji replied.
Qin Yi nodded slightly, looking at Bai Jingqing, "What exactly is the treasure on the map? I assume the elders of Baihua Pavilion have mentioned some relevant information to you before coming in?"
Bai Jingqing said, "Our elders aren't sure what exactly it is either. But they did mention one thing, that is when we get there, what kind of opportunities we encounter depends entirely on our own luck. Everyone has a chance."
"That's it?" Qin Yi didn't believe it, after all, people from the Five Great Families have been here many times.
Bai Jingqing said indifferently, "Believe it or not, I've told you everything I know."
"Junior Sister Bai?"
Just as Qin Yi was about to speak, someone suddenly called out for Bai Jingqing at the edge of the dense forest.
"You should go back." Qin Yi said.
The two nodded, leaping down from the tree, Mo Wuji said, "Junior Sister Bai, we'll split up, you go out first."
Bai Jingqing nodded and left the dense forest first.
"Do you need something from me?"
At the edge of the dense forest, Bai Jingqing looked at Mo Tianhao standing in front and asked coldly.
Mo Tianhao laughed, "Nothing, I just worried about Junior Sister Bai's safety, seeing you gone for a while, worried something might happen."
Saying so, he glanced into the dense forest, "Did you see that Mo Family good-for-nothing?"
Bai Jingqing sneered, "It's ridiculous for your Mo Family to come asking me."
With that, she directly walked past Mo Tianhao, heading towards the main group.
Mo Tianhao's eyes narrowed slightly, he noticed that Bai Jingqing's attitude towards him was different from before. Initially, his attention was all on Bai Jingqing, but just now he discovered Mo Wuji was missing too, and no one knew where he went?
Previously, Bai Jingqing even took the initiative to ask Mo Wuji if he needed help with medicine. Mo Tianhao had some suspicions but didn't think it likely. After all, why would someone as illustrious as Bai Jingqing fancy a wastrel like Mo Wuji?
Despite thinking this, he couldn't help but come out to search.
He glanced into the dense forest again, then turned around to return.
Mo Wuji didn't care at all about whether Mo Wuji was alive or dead, dead is better, saves him the trouble of doing it. What he truly cared about was Bai Jingqing, she is the Holy Daughter of Baihua Pavilion, the future Pavilion Master. Gaining Bai Jingqing would equate to gaining Baihua Pavilion, that's what he wanted.
After Mo Tianhao left, Mo Wuji stepped out of the dense forest with a sneer, taking a detour to return to the main group from another direction.
"Where did you go?" Mo Tianhao asked coldly as he saw Mo Wuji return.
Mo Wuji had anticipated this scene, was well-prepared, and said softly, "My stomach didn't feel well, so I went to relieve myself."
"Next time you leave, remember to report to me. A waste is just waste, not understanding a bit of rules." Mo Tianhao said sternly, "The elder instructed me to bring you back alive, If you die, don't blame me."
Mo Wuji nodded silently.
"Brother, why get angry with a bastard? The blood flowing in his veins isn't even of our Mo Family, why should you care if he lives or dies?" Mo Tianwei said disdainfully.
Mo Wuji's eyes turned cold, the word "bastard" deeply stung him.
"Who the hell are you scowling at? Did I say anything wrong? If it weren't for your shameless bitch of a mother seducing your disgraceful father, having you, a mongrel with impure blood, sully our Mo Family's lineage, how would our Mo Family become a laughingstock?" Mo Tianwei said viciously.
"Don't talk about my parents that way." Mo Wuji growled in a low voice.
"I said it, so what? Did I say anything wrong? You are just a mongrel with impure blood, I know you want to move your bitch mother's corpse back to the Mo Family cemetery, I'm telling you, as long as my brother is around, you will never get your wish."
"You yourself are a mongrel with impure blood, sullying our noble Mo Family blood. Do you really want your bitch mother to sully our Mo Family cemetery too?"
"Shut up, don't insult my parents!" Mo Wuji's fists clenched tightly, knuckles turning white, as he glared at Mo Tianwei, "Apologize to my parents or I'll kill you."
"Kill me, with you, a waste?" Mo Tianwei sneered.
Bang!
The ground under Mo Wuji's feet cracked like a spiderweb, and he charged towards Mo Tianwei like lightning, lifting his hand with a palm, the Palm Wind whistled.
"Hmph, you, a waste, dare to strike at me, courting death."
Mo Tianwei had never taken Mo Wuji seriously, instead, he advanced without retreating, his aura surging around him, he too raised his hand to strike back with a palm.
