Chapter 838 - 836: The Arrogant Shi Xiaohong
When they enter, they’ll find endless cultivation resources, dense Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, enough for them to keep upgrading, pursuing higher cultivation realms.
Back to the present.
After dinner, Shi Xiaohong suddenly remembered something. The main reason he came, besides persuading Yang Xinru to return home, was to discuss another crucial matter—the Innate Pill Furnace.
"Master Mo, why hasn’t the task we’ve been trusting you with at the Celestial Pill Sect progressed at all? Where exactly is the Innate Pill Furnace? I heard it’s just a little girl, yet you can’t handle it, forcing me to step in personally. You’re truly a bunch of useless people."
Shi Xiaohong rudely berated them, showing no mercy.
His subordinates trembled upon hearing this; who is this person, making the two elders from the Mo Family speechless?
"You all should leave first. We need to discuss something important," Mo Chou couldn’t bear it any longer, having no face left in front of his subordinates.
"Stop, why leave? This isn’t something to hide from. Master Mo, tell me, isn’t it your fault in the first place? This mission has been given for years. Every time, you say that little girl is protected. Who exactly is it? Even Mo Yun can’t handle it?"
Shi Xiaohong lashed out angrily.
"Yeah, yeah, Mo Yun is at least a Profound Dao Three Stars expert, right? Why can’t he handle a little girl? I want to know the reason too," Lao Shi from the Celestial Pill Sect couldn’t help but ask.
"Well, you know, although I have the strength, I can’t interfere in the Mortal Realm arbitrarily. I’m confined to the rear mountain for cultivation, especially due to the regulations of the Cultivator Association exceeding..."
"Stop, stop, stop, I don’t want to hear that. All I know is that if the higher-ups give a task, you must strive to complete it. Don’t tell me anything else. If you can’t finish it, it’s your responsibility," Shi Xiaohong rudely interrupted Mo Yun, making him extremely angry but helpless.
Although these people are at most Profound Dao Two Stars, Mo Yun dared not act, as the consequences would be severe.
What is the Celestial Pill Sect? It’s teeming with experts. Not to mention when elders of the Celestial Pill Sect take action, even if Celestial Martial Sect or Pure Yang Martial Arts Hall dispatch a few top experts, the Mo Family would immediately face destruction.
"Alright, I’ll be honest. Recently, a formidable person appeared in South Sea City named Chen Tianlong. The person we want to capture is Mo Jing, who happens to be Chen Tianlong’s sister. Chen Tianlong is very tricky. We’ve attempted to deal with him multiple times, only to end up failing," Mo Chou explained truthfully.
"Chen Tianlong?"
Upon hearing this, Shi Xiaohong furrowed his brow. The name sounded familiar, but he couldn’t recall where he’d heard it.
"Yes, this person is from South Sea City’s Chen Group. He now runs a small-to-medium-sized company at World Medicine, doing extremely well, causing South Sea City’s economy to be quite tense. Not only our Mo Family but also the Xu Family, Hao Family, and other major families in South Sea City are worried," Mo Chou detailed the current state in South Sea City.
"Alright, don’t say anything else. Since we are here this time, we’ll personally take her back,"
Shi Xiaohong stated directly.
"Oh, Elder Shi, you mean we should capture Mo Jing this time?" Mo Yun noticed something fishy.
"Of course, capture Mo Jing, who else?" Shi Xiaohong became furious upon hearing Mo Yun’s worthless question.
"Please, Elder Shi, calm down. That’s not what I meant. Maybe you misunderstood. Let me put it this way: Mo Jing is Chen Tianlong’s reverse scale. If you try to capture his sister, Chen Tianlong will definitely fight with all he’s got. Besides, I heard Mo Jing is not in South Sea City anymore but was personally sent elsewhere by Chen Tianlong," Mo Yun explained.
"Oh? Where exactly? We’ll just go there to grab her. Who cares where it is," Shi Xiaohong thought. What’s there to be afraid of in South Sea City? With two Profound Dao Two Stars and one Profound Dao One Star experts, they can walk here unimpeded, not fearing a thing.
"I’m not sure about that, but she’s not in South Sea City anyway. However, it’s not hard to find out as the Chen Family probably knows about it as well," Mo Chou said, then redirected the conversation to the Chen Family.
This was indeed a scheming move from Mo Chou, killing two birds with one stone: giving Shi Xiaohong an answer while taking the chance to strike the Chen Family.
"Very well, then tomorrow morning, we’ll head to the Chen Family," Shi Xiaohong sneered coldly, leaving the place with two fellow disciples to rest.
Upon returning to South Sea City, Chen Tianlong, though somewhat downcast, still had to attend school. After a while, he hadn’t seen his wife Wu Mengting, and he missed her quite a bit.
Early in the day, Wu Mengting worriedly noticed Chen Tianlong’s seat still empty. She was quite anxious as Chen Tianlong always turned off his phone when leaving, making it impossible to contact him, leaving her helplessly worried.
"Mengting, have you had breakfast?"
Chen Tianlong had just passed by a cake shop and bought her favorite strawberry cake.
Wu Mengting was lost in thought, then suddenly heard Chen Tianlong calling her, still not quite reacting.
A moment later, Wu Mengting suddenly remembered something, quickly looked up, and saw Chen Tianlong standing right in front of her, slightly surprised.
"Mengting, what’s wrong?" Chen Tianlong, seeing her dazed look, felt a bit concerned and hurriedly touched her forehead.
It was early, and only a few classmates had trickled into class, not paying much attention. The couple was already well-known, so no one bothered with them.
"Ah? Chen Tianlong, is it really you?" After a moment of returning to her senses, Wu Mengting joyfully threw herself into Chen Tianlong’s arms, paying no heed to the scene around them.
Women are like this; when overly excited, even in the crowd, they don’t hesitate to embrace.
Chen Tianlong was her lover, making such an act justifiable.
But shortly afterward, Wu Mengting was overcome by shyness. She quickly pushed away from Chen Tianlong’s chest, adjusted her emotions, and stealthily glanced around.
Her classmates were all busily occupied with their own affairs, which made her breathe a sigh of relief.
Seeing this, Chen Tianlong also let out a sigh of relief. This little girl was always like this—sometimes crazy in actions, sometimes composed, making him love and hate her simultaneously.
"This is a small cake, for you. If you haven’t had breakfast, eat it now," Chen Tianlong said with a smile.
Wu Mengting was initially surprised, then quickly realized, and although she already had breakfast, she couldn’t refuse Chen Tianlong’s gesture of goodwill. So she said, "Haha, I just happened to skip breakfast, so give it to me."
Chen Tianlong handed the cake to Wu Mengting, watching her start to eat.
Such happiness, perhaps only a loved one can understand. This moment seemed frozen in time. Chen Tianlong never expected a day when he could be with such a beautiful girl, becoming loving partners.
