No More Pretending, Time to Lay My Cards on the Table

No More Pretending, Time to Lay My Cards on the Table

Now that the tunnel was basically complete, Li Xuan and Bai Wen were on the verge of escape.

However, Li Xuan still had some things to do before leaving the Flower Sea.

The first was the Cultivation of the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum.

After escaping the Flower Sea, he needed to cultivate the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum if he wanted to have an easier time.

To Chrysanthemum Douluo, the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum was simply too important. Even if he had to trade this entire Flower Sea for a single Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, Chrysanthemum Douluo would not hesitate.

And in Chrysanthemum Douluo's eyes, Li Xuan was merely an ordinary Flower Slave who had mastered some special breeding methods.

The reason he wanted to kill Li Xuan was only because Li Xuan had been sent to the Flower Sea by a Spirit Hall deacon, and he feared that Li Xuan harbored hatred toward Spirit Hall.

But Li Xuan was still just a child, and his talent was poor. He would not have much influence on Spirit Hall in the future.

Therefore, given Chrysanthemum Douluo's love for the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum and how insignificant they were, there was a high chance that Chrysanthemum Douluo would not issue a warrant for him.

That way, Li Xuan's life after escaping would be much easier. Spirit Hall was spread across the entire continent; if Spirit Hall put out a warrant for him, life would truly become difficult.

So Li Xuan had to cultivate the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum.

With that in mind, Li Xuan headed straight back to the Supervisor Mansion.

Looking at the Supervisor Mansion before him, a faint smile appeared on Li Xuan's face.

If nothing unexpected happened, this should be the last time he returned to this place.

Though it was luxurious and comfortable to live in.

It was simply too dangerous. Staying here too long would cost him his life.

So Li Xuan chose to leave without hesitation.

"Everyone! Assemble!" Li Xuan circulated his Soul Power and shouted at the top of his lungs. Though his voice was still youthful, bolstered by Soul Power, it rang out like a great bell throughout the entire Supervisor Mansion.

Upon hearing Li Xuan's voice, all the servants gathered in the courtyard, standing in a row as they waited for his instructions.

Although Li Xuan did not control the entire Supervisor Mansion, he was still its nominal master, so these servants had no choice but to obey his orders.

At that moment, Lin Mo staggered out from the rear courtyard and came before Li Xuan.

"Xuan Ge'er, what's going on? Why did you gather everyone together?" Lin Mo asked Li Xuan curiously, his face full of arrogance and his expression resembling someone who had not yet woken up.

"Brother Lin Mo, thank you for taking care of me these past days. I've already figured out a way to cultivate that seed. Also, Brother Lin Mo, I want to teach you my method for cultivating seeds. What do you think?" Li Xuan lowered his head, leaned close to Lin Mo, and whispered.

The instant Lin Mo heard Li Xuan's words, the arrogance vanished from his face. His eyes widened as he stared at Li Xuan in disbelief.

"Really, Xuan Ge'er?" Lin Mo asked, breathing heavily as he looked at Li Xuan with excitement written all over his face.

"Of course. Since I've said it, that means I've made up my mind. Brother Lin Mo, have these servants leave the courtyard. I don't want anyone else stealing this craft," Li Xuan said solemnly.

After receiving Li Xuan's definite answer, Lin Mo immediately flushed red with excitement and nodded at Li Xuan.

"You lot, do not return to the Supervisor Mansion for the next three days. Come back after three days! Understood?" Lin Mo immediately shouted coldly at the others.

"Yes, sir!" all the servants answered Lin Mo in unison.

Although Li Xuan was the nominal master of the Supervisor Mansion, Lin Mo was the one who truly held its power! Every servant in the Supervisor Mansion obeyed Lin Mo.

Then they lined up and left the Supervisor Mansion.

Before long, only Li Xuan and Lin Mo remained in the courtyard.

"Xuan Ge'er, where should we cultivate Lord Chrysanthemum Douluo's seed?" Lin Mo asked excitedly, staring nervously at Li Xuan.

He was more careful than if he were holding ten thousand taels of gold.

"Let's go to the rear courtyard. Since no one's in the courtyard anyway, it'll be the same wherever we do it." Li Xuan nodded at Lin Mo, then pointed at a pond not far away.

"Alright, please watch your step!" Lin Mo said to Li Xuan with a fawning smile, bending at the waist.

Li Xuan did not reply and simply walked toward the pond in the rear courtyard.

When he reached the pavilion beside the pond, Li Xuan found a stone stool and sat down.

"Brother Lin Mo, bring me a flowerpot and a container for water." Sitting on the stone stool, Li Xuan arrogantly ordered Lin Mo around.

Lin Mo did not mind. Bowing at the waist, he gave Li Xuan a fawning reply, then went into the Supervisor Mansion and brought back the finest flowerpot and container.

Soon, Lin Mo returned before Li Xuan carrying a flowerpot and a porcelain bottle.

"Fill it with soil!" Li Xuan ordered again.

Lin Mo swiftly filled the flowerpot with soil.

Watching Lin Mo, Li Xuan nodded in satisfaction. Then he hopped down from the stone stool and approached the flowerpot.

He took out the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum seed from his clothes and carefully buried it in the soil.

Lin Mo stood beside Li Xuan, staring without blinking, afraid of missing anything.

After burying the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum seed in the soil, Li Xuan picked up the porcelain bottle and filled it with pond water.

Li Xuan reached into his clothes, summoned the Little Green Bottle, and took it out.

Under Lin Mo's watchful gaze, he carefully poured a drop of Green Spirit Liquid into the porcelain bottle. The originally clear pond water instantly turned green.

Holding the porcelain bottle, Li Xuan carefully approached the flowerpot and poured a drop of the diluted Green Spirit Liquid into it.

The spirit liquid was quickly absorbed by the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum. The next second, two tender green leaves broke through the soil and swiftly unfurled.

"Th-this... this is incredible!" Lin Mo said to Li Xuan in Shock as he stared at the sight before him.

Lin Mo knew the value of this seed. Chrysanthemum Douluo had spent so much effort trying to cultivate it, yet Li Xuan had managed it so easily...

"Brother Lin Mo, this is my lucky opportunity. Do you want it?" Li Xuan took out the Little Green Bottle, shook it at Lin Mo, and asked.

"I do! I do! I want it!" Lin Mo said to Li Xuan with a crazed expression.

The next second, the obsequious Lin Mo suddenly straightened up. The madness slowly faded from his face, and he looked coldly at Li Xuan. His face was still flushed from his earlier excitement, while his gloomy eyes fixed on Li Xuan.

"Xuan Ge'er, thank you for giving this treasure to me!" Lin Mo snorted coldly. A mass of black light flashed in his hand, and a two-meter-long whip appeared in his grasp.

"I knew you'd do this. Now that the servants are gone, perfect... I can use you as a sacrifice to the dead!" Li Xuan revealed a brilliant smile as well and stretched out his hand. A cluster of Burning Heart Clarifying Spirit Flame appeared in his palm.

"So you're not an idiot either. But I like torturing little brats like you who think too highly of themselves! Die!" Lin Mo roared, directly lashing out with the whip in his hand.

Dear readers, happy weekend!
