Earthly Deity Chapter 28

Peng Maohua groaned feebly in his heart, as the Head Protector of the Cold Mansion, his own young lady wanted to stay in the Thunder Mist Forest and take risks, could he say no?

Mo Wuji took out two Double Leaf Flame Grasses and said, “I don’t think we need to continue staying here to search for the Thunder Mist Forest, I got lucky and happened to see two Double Leaf Flame Grasses.”

“It’s really Double Leaf Flame Grass ……” Han Ning landed in front of Mo Wuji in one step, before Mo Wuji could see how she reached out, the two Double Leaf Flame Grasses in his hands had already disappeared.

So powerful, Mo Wuji subconsciously took a step back. This woman was simply too terrifying, this was still the Pulse Expansion Realm. It wasn’t until this moment that Mo Wuji realised how hard it was for him to survive last night.

“Mo Wuji, no matter where you found the Double Leaf Flame Grass from, you’ve made a great achievement this time. I will definitely take you to the Imperial Capital this time. If you have any requests, please feel free to mention them.” In her excitement, Han Ning finished her sentence in one breath.

“Many thanks, miss.” Mo Wuji hurriedly thanked, he joined the Cold Mansion for the purpose of going to the Imperial Capital, and now that there was a plus condition, he could not let it go.

Han Ning waved her hand, “You helped me find the Double Leaf Flame Grass, it’s considered to be the biggest favour you’ve ever done me, I should be the one to thank you more. I heard my father say that you don’t lack money to use, apart from going to the imperial capital, what other requirements do you have in the future, just mention them.”

Mo Wuji nodded, if he hadn’t opened up that meridian of his own before, Mo Wuji would have definitely asked Han Ning to help him find a better place to test his spiritual roots once he arrived at the Imperial Capital. Now, even if he wanted to test his spiritual root, he would still find a place to test it himself.

He desperately wanted to know if he already had a spiritual root after blasting open a meridian with the help of Lei Ze’s flashing thunder.

Even though Peng Maohua was a little envious of Mo Wuji’s good fortune that he was able to find the Double Leaf Flame Grass to please the young lady, he was still grateful to Mo Wuji. If it wasn’t for Mo Wuji, the young lady might still have to enter inside the Thunder Mist Forest. At that time, it would really be a disaster.

Han Ning’s originally gloomy mood changed all of a sudden because of the two Double Leaf Flame Grasses, with a wave of her hand, she said, “Let’s go back now, we were originally prepared to search for a month, but I didn’t expect to find two Double Leaf Flame Grasses after spending only one night.”

Although Mo Wuji didn’t want to stay in this place either, but seeing that Han Ning didn’t have any grief or a single word for the dead people, he sighed in his heart that human life was not worth anything. As a guardian of a big family, that life was even more worthless. If he died himself, maybe he would be the same as those people, at the most, he would be mentioned by Han Ning by name, and then there would be no more, even the name would not necessarily be mentioned.

He looked at Ding Bu Er on the side, if not Ding Bu Er mentioned to Han Ning that he was looking for him, it was estimated that Han Ning would not let anyone call his name just the same.

“Wuji, congratulations.” Ding Bu Er said to Mo Wuji with an envious face.

Mo Wuji waved his hand and said to Han Ning, “Miss, I’ve heard people say that you’re already at the 5th level of Pulse Expansion, isn’t the 5th level of Pulse Expansion very powerful?”

Han Ning was in a good mood, she was half-concerned about Mo Wuji’s question, “How easy is it to talk about the fifth level of Pulse Expansion, I’m only at the first level of Pulse Expansion. I’m just a bit faster now, my true strength is even weaker than an average martial cultivator. Only after reaching the fourth layer of Pulse Expansion would there be a qualitative change in strength.”

Mo Wuji glared at the very embarrassed Ding Bu Er next to him, this guy was simply talking nonsense.

However, the speed of the first layer of Pulse Expansion was so fast, it made Mo Wuji want to cultivate even more, he cupped his fists and said to Han Ning again, “When I want to go to the Imperial Capital, can I let Ding Bu Er follow along to see the world?”

“Good, just as you said, let’s go.” Han Ning was in the midst of her pleasure, and instantly agreed to Mo Wuji’s request, while rolling onto her horse, and with a flick of the whip in her hand, the red horse had already raised its hooves and rushed out.

“Wuji, thank you so much.” Ding Bu Er was pleasantly surprised, he didn’t expect Mo Wuji to nominate him to go to the Imperial Capital together, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As for bragging in front of Mo Wuji about the Cold Condensation Pulse Expansion Fifth Layer, it had long been forgotten to the side.

Mo Wuji patted Ding Bu Er’s shoulder, “Let’s go, I haven’t thanked you much for thinking of me this time, let’s go back first. Also, less bragging in front of me in the future.”

“Okay!” Ding Bu Er’s mood was just as pleasant, following behind Mo Wuji, he quickly rushed out.

……

Mo Wuji didn’t know why Han Ning, the most prestigious person in the Cold Mansion, wanted the Double Leaf Flame Grass, and he didn’t want to know either. He only knew that after returning to the Cold Mansion again, he was valued much more than before. Even the residence was changed to one with a small courtyard. Named as a courtyard protector, he in fact didn’t have to do anything at all.

The only thing that nagged Mo Wuji was that he didn’t have a cultivation technique, if he had a cultivation technique, it would be great to cultivate in this place.

Living in the Cold Mansion was definitely not dangerous. Sitting inside his small courtyard, Mo Wuji cupped the two green coloured glass bottles that were still left in his hand. Inside were the medicinal fluid he used to open up his veins, in the future, if he wanted to open up more meridians, this kind of medicinal fluid was absolutely indispensable.

“Knock knock ……” Two extremely soft knocks came from the door of Mo Wuji’s small courtyard, followed by Han Sheng’an’s voice, “Wuji, can I talk to you for a few minutes?”

Mo Wuji hurriedly put away the two glass bottles and went to open the courtyard door. Cold Sheng An was the master of the Cold Mansion, to actually take the initiative to come to his residence as a retainer was really a little baffling to Mo Wuji.

“Lord Cold, if you are looking for me for something, just have someone come and call directly, how can I make you come over personally?” Mo Wuji said as he opened the door.

Han Sheng’an smiled gently and walked straight towards Mo Wuji’s house, finding a chair to sit down.

Mo Wuji helped make a cup of tea for Han Sheng An, he was still very grateful to Han Sheng An. If it wasn’t for this old county eunuch, he wouldn’t have been able to enter the Cold Mansion. If he couldn’t enter the Cold Mansion, who knew if the person who poisoned him would make a move on him for the second time?

Han Sheng An smiled and nodded, “Wuji, do you know why after I arranged for you to enter the Cold Mansion, I didn’t take much care of you anymore?”

Mo Wuji said respectfully, “For Old County Duke to bring me to the Cold Mansion is already the greatest care for me.”

Han Sheng An sighed, “I saved you in the Imperial Palace last time, and you helped Ning’er this time, so I’d like to thank you more.”

Mo Wuji looked at Han Sheng An in confusion, last time, Han Sheng An only gave him a job as a houseboy, when did he save him in the Imperial Palace again?

Han Sheng An seemed to know what was on Mo Wuji’s mind as he said in a faint voice, “When you were brought to the entrance of the Imperial Palace, the King didn’t want to see you, but instead ordered someone to directly push you out to be beheaded. I was pretty good with your grandfather Mo Tiancheng back then, plus I was curious to see if your move was intentional or if you were really bent on serving the people as you said.”

Mo Wuji was well aware of what Cold Sheng An said to see what his move was, and that was him going public with the penicillin. He didn’t think that there was such a dangerous scene before he entered the Imperial Palace.

Han Sheng An did not care about Mo Wuji’s shock and said to himself, ”I advised the king not to behead you at that time because your move has benefited the people and beheading you would not be good for the king’s reputation. One of these words is the truth, and it was also spelled out by yourself. The second, there were also a few thoughts of wanting to save your life, otherwise I wouldn’t have let you come to the Cold Mansion.”

Mo Wuji’s back was sweating coldly as he listened, and he was even a little scared. If Cold Sheng An had not come forward to plead for leniency in the first place, and he was killed by that dog king, would he not have died unjustly? Whether or not the dog king’s reputation suffered damage, he, Mo Wuji, was half-concerned, all he cared about was his own little life.

“Many thanks to Old Sheriff for saving me.” Mo Wuji stood up and bowed.

Han Sheng’an hurriedly held Mo Wuji and said with a laugh, “Heroes come out of youths, originally, if you couldn’t catch Ning’er’s attention, you would have only been able to beg for a meal in the Han Mansion at most, and I wouldn’t have stood up to let Ning’er take you to the Imperial Capital. Now you have not only caught Ning’er’s attention, but you have also helped her solve a big problem. It has been proven that capable people are always capable, and I wasn’t wrong.”

“Old Sheriff Gong is flattered.” In Mo Wuji’s heart, he was desperate to leave Cheng Yu Kingdom early, that dog king was not a good bird, he might remember him again one day. The Mo family lost the Northern Qin County King’s position, it was definitely related to that dog king.

Han Sheng An’s face suddenly became solemn and said to Mo Wuji in a very serious manner, “Wuji, I’m here to ask for your help this time.”
