Han Qingru shook her head, “Apothecary Mo, it’s not good for you to know this instead.”
Mo Wuji said calmly, “I have to know, please also ask Manor Master Han to tell me.”
He didn’t want to ask these questions because he was gossiping, now that he had killed the Kei brothers and saved Han Qingru, he didn’t believe that the other party would spare him. Such a great enemy, if he didn’t know the other party’s name, Mo Wuji wouldn’t be able to sleep at night.
Cold Qingru understood, and immediately said, “It’s the steward Lao Cai of Lin Bian City’s Hop Lian Merchant Building, Lin Bian Double Killers are all working for him, and he’s almost a handful in Lin Bian City ……”
“Wait a minute, Zhuangzhuang Master Han, a steward of a merchant building can cover the sky with one hand in the Immortal Domain’s Immortal City?”Mo Wuji interrupted Han Qingru’s words.
Han Qingru looked at Mo Wuji and said, “Apothecary Mo, if you look up to me call me Senior Sister Qingru. After today, the Hundred Flower Villa is not something I would even think about, nor would I mention it again.”
“Isn’t the Hundred Flower Villa yours? Why?”Mo Wuji realised that he had sidetracked the question after asking, and hurriedly said, “Senior Sister Qing Ru, you shouldn’t call me Pill Master Mo either, I’m not actually a Pill Master of any kind.”
“Well, then I’ll call you Senior Sister Mo.”Han Qingru didn’t explain about the Hundred Flower Villa, but continued, “The Hopelink Merchant Building is actually a branch building of the Immortal Realm’s Hopelink Chamber of Commerce, and even the Borderline City’s city lord wouldn’t dare to give the Hopelink Merchant Building a look. Moreover, that Laocai’s cultivation has even reached the late Golden Immortal stage and possesses the rule talisman of the Hopelink Merchant House.”
Mo Wuji wanted to ask more and more questions, such as the difference between the Immortal Domain and the Immortal World, such as what level of Immortal a Golden Immortal was again. He also knew that these questions needed to be asked slowly, it wasn’t something that could be answered by Han Qingru in a single breath.
Han Qingru didn’t know that Mo Wuji didn’t understand anything, and said to herself, ”Because Laocai has a rule talisman, that’s why he can reside in Border Link City, and can even walk around here at will. He didn’t know where he learnt that the Hundred Flower Villa had a copy of the Grass and Tree Stones, and immediately moved on.
Before he could do anything, Hundred Flower Villa knew that the matter of possessing the Grass and Wood Stone had leaked out. Because the young lord of the Hundred Flowers Villa has always been obsessed with me, he actually proposed marriage to my stepmother in an evil way, asking me to marry into the Hundred Flowers Villa, with the bride price being the Grasswood Stone.
My stepmother didn’t even think about it and agreed to Hundred Flower Villa’s request. On the day the Hundred Flowers Villa welcomed me, suddenly a group of unknown cultivators rushed into the Hundred Flowers Villa, and this group of people killed almost all of the people in the Hundred Flowers Villa, and in the end, only a few household servants were left behind. When that leading cultivator saw my appearance, he wanted to take me away. At that time, I said that if I couldn’t be allowed to guard the manor for three years, even if I got my people, I would immediately kill myself.”
Hearing this, Mo Wuji already understood the general meaning. That was that the Borderline City Hopelink Chamber of Commerce’s Steward Lao Cai wanted the Hundred Flower Villa’s Grass and Wood Stone, and as a result, the Hundred Flower Villa gave the Grass and Wood Stone as a bridal gift to Han Qingru’s stepmother in advance, requesting to marry Han Qingru.
Perhaps before the Hundred Flower Villa had a chance to publicise the matter of the Grass and Wood Stone as a bride price, Laocai brought people to the Hundred Flower Villa and slaughtered it. As a result, Laocai saw the stunningly beautiful Cold Qingru and had his heart set on her. At this time, Cold Ching Ru asked to guard the Hundred Flower Villa for three years, and Laocai guessed that he liked Cold Ching Ru too much, and even agreed to Cold Ching Ru’s request, and just sent some subordinates to guard by her side.
“This is the third year, even if you don’t come, I won’t go to Border City to marry that Laocai.”
Mo Wuji knew what Cold Qingru meant, she should be budding with a death wish. However, Mo Wuji felt that I’m afraid that it wouldn’t be that easy for Cold Qingru to die, the ding dongs around her were all Laocai’s people, how could they let Cold Qingru just kill herself?
Sure enough Cold Qingru sighed as she spoke, “Ding Ding has been following me, I didn’t realise that she was also bought by Laocai.”
“That book, Grass and Wood Stone, was taken away by Laocai?”Mo Wuji was most concerned about this book.
Han Qingru said, “No, the book that Hundred Flower Villa handed over to my stepmother back then was a fake.”
“How do you know?”Mo Wuji blurted out.
“Because I found the real Grass and Wood Stone at the Hundred Flower Villa, so it is evident that the Hundred Flower Villa is deliberately trying to draw Laocai’s attention to my stepmother.”Han Qingru sighed again, as if she felt that this world was all about conspiracy.
Mo Wuji wanted to ask if he could bring me the Grass and Wood Stone to take a look, but just seeing Han Qingru’s demeanour, he surprisingly couldn’t open his mouth.
Without Mo Wuji having to open his mouth, Han Qingru took out an ancient scroll and handed it to Mo Wuji, ”Senior Brother Mo, you’re very knowledgeable in pill refining, so this real Grass, Wood, and Stone will be given to you. The Hundred Flowers Collection and the Hundred Herbs Collection that I compiled at the Hundred Flowers Villa were both on that fake Grass, Wood and Stone, so no one knows that this book is here with me.”
“Thank you Senior Sister Qing Ru, this book is of great use to me, I’ll return it to Senior Sister after reading it.”Mo Wuji was not polite and hurriedly accepted the book, Grass and Wood Stone.
Han Qingru waved her hand, “I’m not a pill refiner or an alchemist, this book doesn’t have any significance to me, you don’t need to return it to me.”
“What are senior sister’s future plans?”Mo Wuji carefully put away the Grass, Wood and Stone before asking.
Han Qingru’s gaze was a little blank as she looked outside the cave for a while before she said, “I originally wanted to use the Yong Jin Immortal Region Pill Refining Competition to go to the Yong Jin Immortal Realm to search for my father, but now I don’t know where I should go and what I should do.”
Mo Wuji understood why Cold Qingru had asked him about his ability to refine medicinal liquid, so he had made this intention. He didn’t point out to Cold Qingru, Cold Qingru had very low survival experience, even if she found herself, in the end, I’m afraid that she wouldn’t be able to go to the pill refining competition.
“Senior Sister Qingru, you’ll stay with me for the time being, until I find a way to send you to the Eternal Immortal Realm.”Mo Wuji decided to think of a way to send Han Qingru to the Eternal Immortal Realm.
Han Qingru shook her head, “The Eternal Immortal Realm requires the condensation of an immortal frame in order to go there, otherwise, you will be crushed into a bloody mist by the Immortal Questioning Ladder.”
Hearing about the Immortal Questioning Ladder Mo Wuji hurriedly asked, “Senior Sister Qingru, I don’t know anything about Immortal Grids and the Immortal Questioning Ladder, isn’t this the Immortal Realm? Why do we need to climb the Immortal Enquiring Ladder?”
Han Qingru looked at Mo Wuji in surprise, she really didn’t understand why Mo Wuji, an Earth Immortal cultivator, didn’t even understand these.
Mo Wuji didn’t deceive Han Qingru and directly said, “I was smuggled from the Half Immortal Domain, so I don’t know anything about this.”
“You came from the Half Immortal Domain?Not a cultivator from the Eternal Jade Corner? Then how were you able to dodge the Spatial Blade Array at the edge of the Immortal Rift?”Han Qingru looked at Mo Wuji in shock.
Mo Wuji had no choice but to say, “I was also lucky amongst luck, if I hadn’t met Fellow Daoist Wen Lianshi, I probably wouldn’t have been alive. By the way, who was that red-clothed girl who went to find Wen Lianshi from the Hundred Flower Villa?”
Thinking of Mo Wuji’s proficiency in the Dao of Formation, Han Qingru had already slowed down from her shock, hearing Mo Wuji’s enquiry, she replied, “She’s a relative of Laocai, and stayed at the Hundred Flower Villa to actually spy on me. She is not a bad person, and she is also forthright in her actions. Wen Lianshi’s steward, Qian Shan, was my father’s friend back in the day, and later condensed the Immortal Grid and stepped onto the Immortal Enquiry Ladder to enter the Immortal Realm. The reason he was able to come here again from the Immortal Realm with Wen Lianshi was because of Wen Lianshi’s amazing family lineage, and he was able to take out rule talismans for him to use. I heard that you were brought here after meeting on the road of Qianshan, I reckon that you shouldn’t be related to Laocai.”
“Then why didn’t you let Qianshan bring a letter to your father?”Mo Wuji asked.
Han Qingru shook her head and did not answer Mo Wuji’s words. How powerful was the Hopelink Chamber of Commerce in the Immortal World? Qian Shan was just an underling, how long had it been since her father entered the Immortal Realm?If she allowed Qian Shan to carry the letter, she would be harming several people. Her intention was to be able to gain a ranking for the pill refining competition and then stay in the Immortal Realm before sneaking off to search for her father.
