Chapter 925: Getting To The Bottom Of Things
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The onlookers were shocked, and even Situ Feng’s expression changed. He could not understand what Mo Ning was trying to do right now.
However, he still walked towards Mo Ning with a flattering smile on his face.
The Mo family had two members of the younger generation that were considered the hope of the Mo family.
One of them was the peerless body refining genius whom everyone was looking for the Ye family’s spear for, while the other was his sister, Mo Ning!
Both were considered untouchable existences in the eyes of countless cultivators and body cultivators in Seaside City.
Situ Feng walked up to Mo Ning and smiled. “Miss Mo, we finally meet again after half a year. I am…”
Before he could finish, Mo Ning’s cold voice rang out.
“I don’t care.”
The atmosphere instantly froze, and Situ Feng’s expression turned ugly. He had not expected Mo Ning to embarrass him in front of so many people!
However, what could he do about it? Nothing!
“Alright.”
He could only smile and leave obediently.
Not far away, the injured Xiang Yingjie had already stood up. He glared at Ye Chen!
From his perspective, Ye Chen was at fault for the injuries he had just sustained.
“Miss Mo, why did you do that? The Mo family was the one who asked me to arrest Ye Chen! Moreover, this kid insulted you.”
Even though he felt indignant, Xiang Yingjie still asked.
Mo Ning’s expression was calm. Her slender fingers ran through her hair to straighten it. She then looked at Xiang Yingjie and said, “This person has offended me. Naturally, I have to be the one to deal with him. I don’t want to rely on others!”
“Also, from today onward, Ye Chen’s life is mine! His people are also mine! Only I can kill him! If you dare to make a move, the Mo family will use everything we have to uproot you and the forces behind you!”
Her cold words caused everyone to gasp.
No one expected Miss Mo to protect Ye Chen like this. Although it sounded like she was the one going to deal with him, on the flip side, it also meant that no one in Seaside could touch Ye Chen or Ye Lingtian.
However, why had she done this?
No one could figure it out. After all, Mo Ning had invited Ye Chen to the teahouse, but he had stood her up. Should they not be enemies?
Could it be that the young miss of the Mo family had taken a fancy to this young man’s pretty face?
Xiang Yingjie’s blood boiled as he clenched his fists in rage!
He was furious. Not only did he fail to kill Ye Chen today, but he had also been injured himself. It was not worth it!
His eyes flashed with ruthlessness and killing intent.
If one day, he had the power, he would definitely make Mo Ning pay for the humiliation today. As for Ye Chen, he would torture that brat until he begged for mercy. Only then would he be able to ease his monstrous anger.
“Hey, I don’t think I agreed to this.”
A voice rang out from behind Mo Ning.
Ye Chen was a little displeased. After all, he was not afraid of Xiang Yingjie.
Why did he need a woman to save him?
More importantly, this woman wanted to own his life with just a simple sentence?
Although Ye Chen’s words were soft, they were heard by everyone.
The corners of everyone’s mouths twitched. They wished they could rip Ye Chen’s mouth off!
Mo Ning’s frosty eyes turned to Ye Chen and she snorted, “Ye Chen, you have no right to refuse. Now, come with me! I need an explanation from you on why you stood me up! If I’m not satisfied, I’ll kill you!”
After saying that, a few Mo family experts surrounded him, one of which was a Daoyuan realm expert.
Even though Mo Ning was being sarcastic, from Ye Lingtian’s perspective, Miss Mo was obviously saving them!
Ye Lingtian stood beside Ye Chen and said softly, “Hall Master, I feel like Miss Mo is hitting on you…”
Ye Chen was speechless.
When the middle-aged man heard this, he was furious!
Miss Mo had such high standards, how could she be interested in ants like them?
He wanted to say something, but when he saw Mo Ning walking away, he shouted at the two of them, “Hurry up and leave!”
Ye Chen smiled and followed after her with his hands behind his back.
It just so happened that he needed to get in touch with the Mo family in order to contact the Han family and find out more about that ancient war.
In that sense, Mo Ning was extremely important. Furthermore, there was also her uncanny similarity with the Samsara Graveyard’s Mo Ning, and he wanted to figure out the connection between them.
Logically speaking, they should be related by ancestry and bloodline. However, based on the number of years between the ancient times and now, the bloodline should have been diluted significantly.
There was something very strange about this.
…
Back at the original teahouse.
The environment was quiet. The Mo family’s experts stood guard outside the door, not allowing anyone to approach.
At this moment, inside.
Mo Ning quietly sat down as the waiters carefully brought over the best tea in the teahouse.
“Miss Mo, please enjoy.”
Then, they left, leaving Ye Chen and Ye Lingtian standing there.
Mo Ning took a sip of tea and looked up at Ye Lingtian.
“This has nothing to do with you. Get out.”
Ye Lingtian nodded. The atmosphere here was too strange, so he could not wait to get out.
He even felt like a third wheel here.
He knew about the Hall Master’s luck when it came to love, so he presumed that it was very likely that this young lady of the Mo family had taken a fancy to the Hall Master!
After Ye Lingtian disappeared, Ye Chen sat beside Mo Ning and poured himself a cup of tea.
“I don’t think I asked you to sit down. You should know that you’re no different from a corpse in my eyes.”
Mo Ning was a little annoyed.
Ye Chen took a sip of his tea and waved his hand impatiently.
“Alright, alright. It’s just the two of us. Stop pretending. There must be a reason why you saved me. It’s definitely not because I stood you up.”
Mo Ning raised her eyebrows.
“Wrong. That makes me very uncomfortable. I really want to kill you.”
“However, before I kill you, I want to know how you picked that cave tomb!”
Ye Chen drank another cup of tea and then raised his head to stare at the girl in front of him.
Her facial features were exactly the same as Mo Ning’s.
Even the mole on her earlobe, its size and position, was the same!
The only difference was that the Mo Ning he knew had a mark on her forehead, but this person did not.
“Answer my question.” Mo Ning felt uncomfortable being stared at like that.
“Would you believe me if I told you I was just guessing?” Ye Chen stretched and smiled.
“I don’t believe you.”
“Then I’m sorry. I was really lucky.”
Naturally, Ye Chen could not tell her about Little Gold.
Although he had a good impression of this young woman, it did not mean that she was qualified to know his secrets.
“You!”
Mo Ning slammed her palm on the table. The teacups and teapot shattered, and the tea splashed everywhere.
Mo Ning stood up and placed both hands on the table as she stared at Ye Chen.
“I can let this matter go, but you have to tell me why you know my Mo family’s cultivation technique, the Creation Body Refining secret technique!”
