Mo Jianming’s gaze gradually turned sharp as he said, “Or is Elder Li lying to us and the stone is actually very important? Is it related to a secret realm or a divine artifact?”
Although Mo Jianming had never seen this stone before, if he continued to make wild guesses, it might attract more attention.
Elder Li laughed embarrassedly and finally gave in. He said with an unnatural expression, “Elder Mo, you must be joking. It’s not as exaggerated as you say.”
“Perhaps there’s some misunderstanding here. Since this brother here said he doesn’t have it, then it’s fine. As for today’s incident, we will treat it as giving Elder Mo some respect. Let’s go!”
Li Zhe, who was lying on the ground, was helped away.
“Elder Li, we still haven’t found the stone. Are we really going to leave?” asked Bai Haoyu indignantly.
Elder Li’s face instantly turned cold.
“We’ll talk about it later. Now that Mo Jianming is involved, he’ll inevitably get some clues. Although the people of the Sword Sect are obsessed with sword techniques, they’re not fools. It’s hard to guarantee that they won’t find out about the Penglai Immortal Island by following the clues.”
“The sect master had repeatedly warned us to keep this matter a secret and not let other sects know.”
Bai Haoyu hesitated and said, “But if the stone is really with that kid, it’s going to ruin our plan. What if he-”
Elder Li was confident about this. He shook his head and said, “Don’t worry about that. I’ve checked on that kid. He’s weak. He’s indeed at human rank level 3. How could he have found it? Even if the stone is really with him, it’s not enough to prove anything.”
“But that brat is so arrogant. He doesn’t even think much of Misty Illusory Manor.”
Elder Li’s expression suddenly became extremely vicious. He sneered, “The sect returning ceremony still has so many days left. Do you think we can’t deal with such a small sect?”
…
After the people from the Misty Illusory Manor left, Ye Xuan looked at Mo Jianming. He said, “Thank you very much.”
Mo Jianming’s expression did not change, as if the two of them had never met before and Ye Xuan was just a stranger to him.
“No need to thank me, I just can’t stand seeing some sects oppressing others with their power.” After saying this, he turned around and left, as if he had really just come to help when he saw injustice.
The confrontation between the Misty Illusory Manor and the Sword Sect was naturally seen by the others, and they couldn’t help but click their tongues in wonder.
“The Sword Sect has never paid attention to the internal conflicts and schemes between other sects. Normally, they wouldn’t meddle in other people’s business. I don’t know why they changed their attitude today.”
“The sun must have risen from the west today. First, it was the Misty Illusory Manor who asked for the stones. Then, the Sword Sect appeared. Elder Mo is not someone with such a personality.”
The one who said it didn’t have any ulterior motives, but the listeners felt that if these words were to enter the ears of some sects, they would probably overthink it.
After nightfall, the vast darkness was the best cover. Ye Xuan arrived at the outskirts of the capital. This was also the place where he had been ambushed halfway and then rescued by Mo Jianming.
As expected, a figure stood not far away. It was obvious that he had been waiting for a long time. It was Mo Jianming, who had helped them out during the day.
“I knew you would come.”
“Many thanks for your help, Senior.”
If it wasn’t for Mo Jianming, the people of the Misty Illusory Manor probably wouldn’t have given up so easily. At that time, he didn’t even know how things would end up. If things didn’t go well, the entire Tai Qing Sect might have been implicated by him.
Moreover, at that time, Mo Jianming had clearly recognized his identity. He must have known from the pills that Ye Xuan was the one who won the bid for the Hetu and Luoshu Diagram. However, Mo Jianming kept it a secret and didn’t reveal it in public. This was also why Ye Xuan dared to come here right now.
Mo Jianming turned around and sized up Ye Xuan. Suspicion flashed in his eyes, and he couldn’t help but ask, “Are you really only at human rank level 3?”
This kind of person was the one who possessed the long-lost ancient elixir, the soul-returning pills, and took out 800,000 supreme-grade spirit stones to heroically bid for the Hetu and Luoshu Diagram. He was the one who caused the capital to be in an uproar.
Mo Jianming would never believe that Ye Xuan only had this much strength. He suspected that Ye Xuan had used some kind of concealing magic weapon.
However, what kind of magic weapon was it that even he could not see through? There were too many mysteries surrounding this person, and any one of these mysteries was outrageous.
Facing Mo Jianming’s scrutiny, Ye Xuan’s attitude was neither humble nor arrogant. He said, “Yes, it’s true. I’m a human rank level three.” If it wasn’t for the Hetu and Luoshu Diagram, he would still be at the human rank level two.
Mo Jianming’s expression changed when he saw that Ye Xuan didn’t seem to be lying and that he had no reason to lie at this point.
In fact, he had already guessed it, but he just didn’t dare to believe it. In the world today, the magical weapons that could hide cultivation couldn’t be hidden from powerhouses of their level. He couldn’t rule out the possibility that there were some special means.
“I didn’t expect that the Hetu and Luoshu Diagram would be bought by you. I think your background must also be extraordinary.”
Mo Jianming’s words were meant to probe.
Seeing that Mo Jianming had pointed it out, Ye Xuan also admitted it directly. There was no need to deny it. If Mo Jianming wanted to harm him, he would have done so from the very beginning.
After all, Mo Jianming was the only one who knew his true appearance. Now, he could still stand here in peace, which showed that Mo Jianming had no interest in the Hetu and Luoshu Diagram.
“What are you saying, Senior? I’m just an elder of a small sect. I was lucky and had some opportunities.”
“Some opportunities…” Mo Jianming revealed a profound smile. With such a large sum of money, the opportunities that Ye Xuan obtained were not just a little bit.
He didn’t expose Ye Xuan. After all, everyone had their own secrets. Even if he had saved Ye Xuan’s life, Ye Xuan didn’t have to tell him everything.
“I don’t have any other intentions in looking for you today. It’s just that you’ve already been targeted by the people of the Misty Illusory Manor, so you have to be more careful.”
