The appearance of Lu Changsheng and Mo Yu surprised Mo Ling, Mo Xing, and the three Mo Clan elders who came to provide support.
Seeing the corpses strewn all around, Mo Ling stared at Mo Yu with her mouth agape and asked, "Young Miss... who is this person?"
Mo Yu put his hands on his hips, raised his chin proudly, and said, "Impressive, isn't it? This is my master!"
Master?
Mo Ling and Mo Xing looked at Lu Changsheng, who had already removed her black robe, in surprise. How could the eldest daughter of the prestigious Mo Clan have taken someone else as her master?
Only the three elders of the Mo Clan stared at Lu Changsheng with solemn expressions.
At this moment, Mo Xing cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for saving us, senior. We owe you a great favor. However, Mo Yu is the eldest daughter of our Mo Clan. Senior should know her identity, right?"
Lu Changsheng nodded.
"Let's keep things separate. We will repay the favor you did for us, senior. But the young lady is very likely to inherit the entire Mo Clan in the future. As her master, what do you think...?"
Before Mo Xing could finish speaking, the three elders of the Mo Clan and Mo Yu simultaneously shouted, "Shut up!"
Mo Xing was taken aback. It was one thing for Mo Yu to stop him, but why were even the three elders intervening?
Mo Yu glared angrily at Mo Xing, about to say something, when she saw the three elders step forward, bow, and say to Lu Changsheng, "We apologize, senior. The juniors of the Lineage are used to being arrogant, but they don't Mind's Eye any harm. Please forgive them."
Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng casually waved his hand.
As the saying goes, if a dog insults you, would you insult it back?
Obviously not.
Seeing this, the three elders breathed a sigh of relief. When Mo Ling looked at Lu Changsheng after witnessing this scene, his eyes were filled with solemnity.
The Mo Clan members are all very proud, let alone the three elders who hold high positions and are powerful.
The person who could command such respect from them must have recognized their extraordinary nature.
"Alright then, I would like to ask you and Miss to return to the Mo Clan together. Miss's apprenticeship is a major event for the entire Mo Clan, and it is necessary to inform the family head beforehand," the elder said with a smile.
Mo Yu then looked at Lu Changsheng and said, "It's alright, Master. If you don't want to go, then you don't have to. I'll listen to you!"
Upon hearing this, the three elders couldn't help but smile wryly.
Lu Changsheng thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Alright, let's meet them then."
After all, she's the little princess of a prominent Lineage. If we don't meet her and address her concerns, there will likely be even more trouble later on.
For example, they might send someone to monitor them, or if they have a bad temper, they might bring people to obstruct them.
Rather than doing that, it would be better to visit the Mo Clan.
The three elders breathed a sigh of relief, smiled, and gestured for them to enter, saying, "Seniors, please."
Immediately, the group boarded the shuttle and disappeared from the spot with a "whoosh".
Meanwhile, Heaven-Reaching City.
News of the corpses strewn across the city walls had reached the ears of all the factions.
Holy Light Academy.
Miao Youzhi looked at the elder leading the team, his face grave, and asked, "Elder, are the vice-dean and the others all dead?"
The elder nodded gravely, "We don't even know who made the move; they didn't leave behind a single trace."
Miao Youzhi gritted his teeth, "It's all my fault... When I grow up, I'll definitely get my revenge!"
The elder shook his head at Miao Youzhi and said, "The deaths of those people were probably orchestrated by the Mo Clan. They left themselves a backup plan. It's best not to act rashly against an ancient Aristocratic Clan like the Mo Clan; focus on your cultivation."
In the Chaos Realm, killing and looting are commonplace, but it is also common for those who kill and rob to be killed in return.
Everyone has become numb to this.
Moreover, their opponent was the Mo Clan...
Other factions also guessed that the Mo Clan had made their move, and could only give up.
At the headquarters of the Chaotic Spirit Academy, Jiu Bailu also arrived and was discussing the same matter.
"This must have been done by the Mo Clan, right?" Xiao Hei.
Mu Fusheng and his companions, along with the Gu Sheng, all nodded.
Since they were confident, they naturally had a backup plan.
No one suspected Lu Changsheng.
This is why Lu Changsheng didn't dispose of the corpse, but only withdrew his aura.
Since the Mo Clan is a major Lineage on the Heavenly Mystery Continent, it's impossible for them to deliberately eliminate all the corpses after killing someone. They would have an arrogant attitude that they wouldn't care if others found out.
Sure enough, even Mu Fusheng and the others didn't steer the line that it was their master who did it.
Even if you went to the scene, you probably wouldn't be able to tell it was Lu Changsheng's doing.
At this moment, Jiu Bailu took out the Nine-Cord Thunderclap Chain and handed it to Mu Fusheng.
I wish you great success in the qualifying rounds.
At this moment, everyone was pulled out of the killings outside the city and looked at Mu Fusheng with ambiguous or envious eyes.
Qin Chi felt helpless. He also harbored feelings of affection for Jiu Bailu, but given the current situation, he decided it was best not to humiliate himself.
The Gu Sheng grinned and said, " Brother Mu, it seems that Her Highness the Princess is deeply devoted to you!"
Mu Fusheng reluctantly accepted the gift, saying, "There's no need to spend so much money buying things for me next time."
"Didn't you also give me a shawl?" Jiu Bailu smiled faintly.
"Isn't that one of the favors we did?" Mu Fusheng exclaimed, his eyes wide. "And the value of that one is completely disproportionate to the price of this one!"
At this point, Tan Zongzhao patted Mu Fusheng on the shoulder and said, "I really don't know if you're pretending to be stupid or if you really are."
Jiu Bailu laughed and said, "Then you still owe me two favors... Besides, I really like that shawl; in my mind, it's equivalent to this chain, regardless of the price."
Mu Fusheng almost fainted.
Two more favors???
I feel like I've been tricked.
" The Nine Dragons Divine Dynasty has so many Flawless Primordial Stone?" Mu Fusheng shook his head helplessly. "Don't let them squander so much."
"What, do you want to come with me to the Divine Dynasty? I reckon we still have more than enough." Jiu Bailu smiled at Mu Fusheng.
Mu Fusheng's heart skipped a beat, and his face flushed red, a rare occurrence for him.
The people around burst into laughter.
If you can't understand what this means, then you shouldn't be a man.
"Alright, there are only two days left until the qualifying rounds begin. You should get some rest." With that, he turned and left gracefully without waiting for Mu Fusheng to say anything.
Mu Fusheng watched Jiu Bailu's retreating figure and kept smiling bitterly.
Xiao Hei, standing to the side, patted Mu Fusheng on the shoulder and said, "She's a good girl, why don't you consider her?"
Mu Fusheng remained silent.
If he were to be with Jiu Bailu, it would undoubtedly go against his own plans.
Moreover, there will definitely be a lot of trouble in the future.
However, Jiu Bailu's obvious affection was too much for Mu Fusheng to handle.
Looking at the Nine-Cord Thunderclap Chain he held in his hands, though they were light, Mu Fusheng felt an immense weight in them at that moment...
Ugh, this is so annoying.
I never imagined that matters of the heart would be even more difficult to handle than the trouble caused by my senior brothers...
