He was going to kill Ye Liang

"What good would keeping it do? Could a quack like you analyze it, or could I?"

Mo Chongxi: ...

All he really did with his Communication Band was follow gossip and contact people. He had no other use for it.

He certainly couldn't analyze a Communication Band the way the Empire Criminal Investigation Department did.

And a violent brute like Weisheng Tou was even less likely to manage it.

Mo Chongxi fell silent for a moment, then asked, "Was it really the Lawrence Family?"

Weisheng Tou's gaze darkened. "Only the Federation's wizard families would dare take on the Mo Family."

Even the Empire was wary of the Mo Family.

So no one would use that name to bluff their way into the Lu Family.

"Descendants of the Salem Witches, huh..."

Mo Chongxi lowered his eyes.

Both the Mo Family and the Lawrence Family possessed extraordinary natural gifts.

They all had inherited traditions. They all had someone to guide them.

And him?

All he had was a terrible father.

But he should have been part of the Mo Family, too.

Instead of enduring the Empire's revolting rules and working for them like this.

Mo Chongxi sighed.

He couldn't really blame anyone.

Having even a little talent for sensing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was already a blessing.

"What are you thinking about?"

Weisheng Tou looked at Mo Chongxi and suddenly asked.

"Huh?" Mo Chongxi snapped back to reality and immediately gave an awkward laugh. "Nothing."

Weisheng Tou frowned at him.

This wasn't the first time he had sensed that Mo Chongxi was hiding something from him.

But he had never sensed any danger from Mo Chongxi, so he had never paid it much mind.

Everyone had their secrets, after all.

When Weisheng Tou didn't reply, Mo Chongxi immediately picked up their earlier conversation:

"But why not give the Communication Band to Young Master Mo?"

"I already checked it. There was just a call log. Lu Yunsheng had wiped everything else clean."

Weisheng Tou lazily lay back on the couch.

Besides, the Mo Family would only know more than the Empire did.

One Communication Band wouldn't be much use.

Watching him, Mo Chongxi smiled. "Are you planning to sleep here tonight?"

"Yeah."

Weisheng Tou grunted.

The sight of Weisheng Tou lounging there like he owned the place made Mo Chongxi laugh in exasperation:

"Why are you hanging around my place? Aren't you going back to Lan Mountain Residence to plead with your Young Master Mo?"

Weisheng Tou rolled over, turning his back on Mo Chongxi.

He wanted to see Mo Lu, too.

But if he went back now, he had no idea whether Mo Lu had cooled down.

Still, he wanted to go back and see.

Weisheng Tou sat up irritably, then suddenly remembered something. "Where's my Little Black?"

Mo Chongxi paused before realizing Weisheng Tou meant his motorcycle.

"Oh," he said. "I had the Empire bring Little Black back for you."

"Okay. I'm off."

Weisheng Tou left without so much as a glance at Mo Chongxi.

Watching him go, Mo Chongxi dropped his flippant manner, a faint melancholy settling over his face.

He lowered his head and contemplated his pale fingers for a while.

A moment later, he turned his hand over, revealing a plump little insect.

The fat insect gleamed gold as it wriggled merrily in his palm.

Mo Chongxi stroked it and sighed.

Weisheng Tou was far too uncontrollable.

But in the end, he couldn't bring himself to plant a gu in him.

He had applied to become his personal physician with an ulterior motive in the first place.

But...

He still didn't want to do it.

Mo Chongxi sat wearily in his chair.

Ultimately, it was his father's fault.

It was all his dead father's fault.

Weisheng Tou sped straight back to Lan Mountain Residence.

Standing outside the gate, he stared blankly inside.

It was only early evening, but the sky had already darkened. Heavy clouds hung low, and lights were needed to see the path.

The air was hot and humid, as though rain was coming.

Young Master Mo Lu had probably finished dinner by now.

Perhaps he was drinking tea and reading.

Weisheng Tou leaned against the outer wall of Lan Mountain Residence, his head slightly bowed.

If I went in and asked for a meal, would the young master give me one?

Weisheng Tou smiled faintly at himself.

Whenever he saw Mo Lu, he grew so outrageously bold that he couldn't stop himself from doing all sorts of things.

Now that Mo Lu had thrown him out, he felt a little afraid, worried that seeing him would make Mo Lu angry again.

"Weisheng. Tou!"

A voice suddenly rang out.

Weisheng Tou looked ahead. It was Ye Liang.

"Heh." He gave a cold snort.

"You fucking bastard!"

Unable to control his emotions, Ye Liang hurled a punch at Weisheng Tou.

He had planned to settle the score with Weisheng Tou later, but he hadn't expected to run into him here.

That afternoon, he had begged everyone in the Mo Family he could, even going to Old Master Mo, but no one was willing to interfere with Mo Lu's decision.

So he had no choice but to come to the young master.

He hadn't expected Weisheng Tou to be here, too!

He would never swallow this humiliation unless he killed Weisheng Tou!

The young master could only belong to him, Ye Liang!

"Heh, Ye Liang. Are you sure you want to fight at the gates of Lan Mountain Residence? Let the young master see you looking like a beaten dog?"

Weisheng Tou caught Ye Liang's fist in his left hand and pulled him forward, leaning close to his ear to taunt him quietly.

"Weisheng Tou, you still dare come here!"

Ye Liang gritted his teeth.

"Didn't you come here, too? Why aren't you going in? Got thrown out?"

Weisheng Tou's voice was husky and languid.

"What have you got to be so smug about? Didn't the young master throw you out, too?"

Ye Liang sneered.

Weisheng Tou's expression hardened.

His grip on Ye Liang's fist tightened, almost crushing the bones of his fingers.

Ye Liang's face twisted with pain, but he stubbornly refused to make a sound.

Weisheng Tou said coldly, "Ye Liang, the only reason I haven't killed you outright is because you're one of the young master's people. Otherwise, how long do you think you could keep prancing around in front of me?"

"Heh, Weisheng Tou, so what if I die? You'll still be a stray dog!

"The Weisheng Family won't have you, and neither will the Mo Family. What can you do besides risk your life serving the Empire?"

Ye Liang sneered.

Mint Pheromones slowly spread around the gates of Lan Mountain Residence.

As Weisheng Tou sensed Ye Liang's Pheromones, the mocking smile on his lips deepened.

Ye Liang's mint Pheromones cleared his own head and sharpened his senses, but against an opponent, they chilled the enemy's entire body and slowed their movements.

They were very useful Pheromones, but Ye Liang was only A-rank.

Weisheng Tou took two deep breaths, suppressing the surging urge to kill. He released Ye Liang's fist and said with strained patience:

"Ye Liang, I can't be bothered playing house with you here. Get out of my sight, and I might let you live."

Ye Liang looked at Weisheng Tou without answering.

He took out a syringe and drove the needle hard into his arm.

"Another Enhancement Agent. Can't your Ye Family come up with any other tricks?"

Watching Ye Liang, Weisheng Tou lost the last of his patience. He could no longer restrain the viciousness coursing through him.

Would this ever fucking end?!

Ye Liang tossed the syringe aside and sneered. "Why would I use only an Enhancement Agent against you? Did you think you were the only one the young master gave things to?"

As he spoke, Ye Liang took out a Healing Talisman.

Weisheng Tou's eyes widened slightly.

Ye Liang's expression grew fiercer, and he quietly recited a couple of lines.

The Healing Talisman crumbled into ash and merged into his body.

Mint Pheromones surged toward Weisheng Tou.

Weisheng Tou immediately felt a rush of cold coursing through his body.

After using that Healing Talisman, Ye Liang's Pheromones could actually affect him.

They even seemed on the verge of overpowering him.

Weisheng Tou clenched both fists.

A surge of savage fury shot through him.

Whether that talisman had come from the young master or not, he was going to kill Ye Liang!
