“Old Sheriff please speak, as long as I can do it, I will definitely not push back.” Mo Wuji cupped his fists and said.
He was certain that Han Sheng’an would not lie to him about this kind of thing, and when he said that he had saved him once, then he had really saved him once. The favour of saving his life, no matter how easy it was for Cold Sheng An, it was a heavenly favour for him, Mo Wuji.
Han Sheng An was very satisfied with Mo Wuji’s words, ”Wuji, I am relieved with your words. There is still more than a month to go before the Immortal Sect arrives at the Star Han Empire’s imperial capital, Changluo Leap Immortal Sect Assembly. You’ve been in contact with Ning’er, you should know that Ning’er, is very simple and not as mature as she appears. You were able to save your life after the appearance of the Nine Lives Healing Liquid, and your ability to handle things is far superior to that of Ning’er. I would like to ask you to follow by Ning’er’s side, so that you can take some care of her before she joins the Immortal Sect.”
Mo Wuji solemnly promised, “Don’t worry, Old Sheriff, as long as I have the ability to still do so, I will definitely do my utmost to stop Miss Ning’er.”
Han Sheng’an took out a jade hairpin from inside his pocket and handed it to Mo Wuji, “If you really meet a situation that cannot be resolved and there is no way out, take this jade hairpin and go to the Changluo Yue Family to look for Yue Qiongying.”
“Why didn’t Old Sheriff give the jade hairpin directly to Miss Ning’er?” Mo Wuji asked doubtfully as he received the jade hairpin.
Han Sheng An shook his head and did not answer Mo Wuji’s words.
Mo Wuji was not a person who liked to pry into other people’s secrets, so he did not ask again when he saw that Han Sheng’an did not answer, but carefully put away the jade hairpin.
More and more satisfied with Mo Wuji’s attitude, Han Sheng An took a sip of tea and said, “You like tea, when the time comes, I’ll have someone send you some good tea.”
Mo Wuji smiled, “Then thank you Old Sheriff Gong, since I haven’t travelled far, there are some things that I would like to ask Old Sheriff Gong.”
A little bit of tea was nothing to a county eunuch, Mo Wuji simply did not excuse himself.
“Haha…… you have any questions please ask.” Han Sheng An signalled.
“I heard that we’re not the only one in the Star Han Empire here, there are other empires as well?” Mo Wuji had long wanted to ask these, but he just never had the right person. Han Sheng’an had seen a lot of things and was a county duke of a lord’s country, so he should know more about these.
Han Sheng’an replied, “As far as I know there are five great empires, which are the Heavenly Shang Empire, the Purple Zhou Empire, the Qian Yang Empire, the Star Han Empire, and the Ming Han Empire. These five empires are each sheltered by five major immortal gates, and the immortal gate that shelters our Star Han Empire is the Heavenly Jade Hall. This time, for the Leaping Immortal Sect Assembly, the Immortal Masters from the Heavenly Extreme Hall will also be going to Chang Luo. I don’t expect that Ning’er will be able to worship the Heavenly Pole Hall, as long as she can worship a ground level sect, I’ll be satisfied.”
“Old Sheriff, what is a ground level sect? That Heavenly Extreme Hall is the most powerful sect in the Star Han Empire?” Mo Wuji heard a lot of things that he had never heard of before and hurriedly asked after them.
“It’s normal that you don’t know about these, many people don’t know, after all, we’re all just mortals. The sects of the five empires are all divided into three levels, the lowest level is the Xuan level sects, and the next level up is the Earth level sects. In our Star Han Empire, the highest ranked sects are the quasi heaven ranked sects. The Celestial Extremity Hall is the Quasi-Celestial Grade.” There was also a hint of yearning in Han Sheng’an’s tone, in front of these sects, he had to look up just as much.
Mo Wuji asked again, “Since there are quasi heaven level sects, then there must be heaven level sects? Why didn’t Old Sheriff say so?”
Han Sheng’an shook his head, “That I don’t know, I was equally puzzled at first. Not only does the Star Han Empire not have one, even the most powerful sects in the remaining few empires are all quasi heaven ranked sects.”
“Is the Celestial Extremity Hall the only quasi celestial level sect in the Xinghan Empire?”
“I don’t think so, I’ve heard of other quasi-heaven ranked sects in the Xinghan Empire besides the Heavenly Extremity Hall in a chance encounter. Although I am a county duke of a lord country, I don’t know much about these things.”
Mo Wuji and Han Sheng’an chatted for a few hours, and by the time he sent Han Sheng’an away, Mo Wuji already had a rough outline of the five empires.
After half a day of chatting, Han Sheng’an was even more at ease with Mo Wuji. Just from the fact that Mo Wuji didn’t ask him anything about the Northern Qin County Kingdom during these few hours, he knew that Mo Wuji wasn’t an impulsive guy.
Mo Wuji naturally wouldn’t be brainwashed enough to ask Han Sheng’an who plotted away the Northern Qin County Kingdom, much less how Mo Tiancheng disappeared and why Mo Guangyuan couldn’t get the position of the Northern Qin County King.
It wasn’t that he, Mo Wuji, was cool by nature and didn’t care about this matter. Rather, it was because this matter was clearly defaulted by the Lord King of Lord Cheng Yu’s Kingdom, Situ Qian, and perhaps Situ Qian had even secretly interfered. Cold Sheng An’s casual remark to save him was not costly, he could remember this favour, but he could not treat Cold Sheng An as an object that he could trust.
He was certain that even if he helped Han Ning and asked Han Sheng’an to choose between him and Situ Qian, Han Sheng’an would choose Situ Qian without hesitation. Who knew if his words of questioning Cold Sheng An would reach Situ Qian’s ears the next moment? Situ Qian didn’t kill him at that time due to his reputation, there was no guarantee that he wouldn’t kill him in the future. As long as Situ Qian remembered him, Mo Wuji, and casually found a reason to kill him, it wouldn’t even make half a wave.
Besides, who had poisoned him, when the time came, all he had to do was to look at who was the North Qin County King to know. Why bother asking someone about something that was so obvious?
……
Ever since the last time he went to the Thunder Mist Forest to search for the Double Leaf Flame Grass, Mo Wuji had not seen Cold Ning again.
Mo Wuji was idle and purchased a machine in Raozhou City. He asked Ding Bu Er to collect various medicinal herbs and once again started the days of refining the Vein Opening Medicinal Liquid.
After more than a month, Mo Wuji refined out a whole thirty bottles of this Vein Opening Pill Liquid. Mo Wuji was worried that the person who had backstabbed him would do it when he was about to leave, and he was also afraid that it would be inconvenient to refine too many medicinal liquids to bring with him, which was why he stopped refining the medicinal liquid.
Another few days passed by in a flash, and as it looked like it was about to be the day to leave Raozhou, Ding Bu Er came to his door, “Wuji, there are still two more days to go before we leave Raozhou, aren’t you going to go and buy some things?”
Because of the Thunder Mist Forest incident, Ding Bu Er became Mo Wuji’s best friend in the Cold Mansion, and was most casual with Mo Wuji.
“No need, it’s enough for me to bring enough gold coins.” Mo Wuji had no intention of going out at all.
The Mo Family’s Northern Qin County Kingdom was being missed, he had even been poisoned with arrow wood once, and was on Situ Qian’s blacklist. At this time, he naturally didn’t want anyone to remember that there was still a Mo Wuji in the Northern Qin County State of the Mo Family, and it would be best if he could leave Rao Zhou peacefully and leave this dangerous Cheng Yu Capital.
“You’re not afraid of being bored, what do you need I’ll go and bring some for you.” Ding Bu Er had long been used to Mo Wuji being bored inside this courtyard.
“It’s not necessary, just call me when we set off.” Mo Wuji waved his hand.
He had prepared everything that should be prepared, bringing too many things would be detrimental to walking instead.
Two days later in the wee hours of the morning, Ding Bu Er came to Mo Wuji’s residence on time and told him that the ladies had assembled and were ready to depart.
