223: Preparing to divide the spoils

"Little Mozi, do you not believe in Revered Master's strength?"

"No, Revered Master. Your strength is peerless and without equal; I am well aware of that. It's just that I wanted to temper myself. You know that I am dull-witted and must constantly hone myself to gain anything."

"I just didn't expect to almost trip up this time. Luckily, I had the life-saving means you gave me, Revered Master."

Mo Tianxiao looked innocent. He had no idea that his Revered Master's support was as thick as a pillar supporting the heavens. Seeing the strength displayed by this Spiritual Qi Clone, he couldn't believe how powerful her main body actually was.

Could he just stop bowing his head to anyone in the Xuanhuang World now?

Yue Liuli's eyes showed a hint of disbelief. She always felt that this boy was trying to avoid her. It shouldn't be the case; her personality in this life had changed so much, and his memories hadn't awakened yet, so he shouldn't be afraid of her.

"Fine, Revered Master is too lazy to listen to your excuses. I heard from Su Muyao that you were bullied by the Huangfu Family in the Eastern Region?"

Mo Tianxiao was stunned. Thinking of the Huangfu Family's compensation, he said, "It was alright. With Senior Su's help, I wasn't really bullied. On the contrary, Senior Su scammed several Sacred Artifacts from them."

Thinking of this, Mo Tianxiao felt a bit resentful. He was the one who scammed so many Sacred Artifacts, yet she didn't share a single one with him. She was as stingy as the Blood God.

Yue Liuli glanced at him. "Huangfu Wujiang has already been slaughtered by Revered Master. As for the rest of the Huangfu Family, I've left them for you. Find some time to deal with them in the future."

"Ah?" Mo Tianxiao's mouth hung open, seemingly not quite understanding what his Revered Master had said.

"If you don't want to do it, Revered Master can also settle it for you in passing," Yue Liuli spoke again, seeing his confusion.

"No, no, no, there's no need. Just leave the rest to your Disciple!"

Mo Tianxiao snapped back to his senses and waved his hands hurriedly, waves of shock crashing through his heart.

Was this the style of the Demonic Sect's Sect Head, the powerful Revered Master who was his backer? Killing a Quasi-Emperor Expert just like that, without giving any Face at all?

With a Revered Master like this, he would wake up laughing in his dreams!

But... was Revered Master being a bit too good to him? Mo Tianxiao looked at Yue Liuli and tested the waters cautiously. "Revered Master, I have a question in my heart, but I don't know if I should ask it."

The corners of Yue Liuli's mouth curled up slightly. "Speak."

"Ahem, well... Revered Master, could I be your illegitimate son? Otherwise, why would you be so good to me?"

Hearing Mo Tianxiao's words, a faint, imperceptible red glow flashed in Yue Liuli's bright eyes. Her heart throbbed inexplicably, and her gaze toward him became exceptionally strange.

Was this really what this guy was thinking? He truly is... cute.

"Revered Master is not your mother; do not think of such idle thoughts. Your Junior Sister has already broken through to the Saint Realm. Revered Master knows you have your own cultivation method and does not require you to return and Cultivate properly, but you must return within fifty years. Revered Master has important matters to entrust to you."

After saying that, Yue Liuli's Spiritual Qi Clone dissipated into specks of light.

"Eh? Revered Master, I'm not finished yet! That sword strike just now—teach me!"

There was no response. Mo Tianxiao scratched his head and looked up at the sky, which looked like a deep abyss rift, feeling quite envious.

So Revered Master entered the Dao through the sword? The Law of Sword is actually so terrifying. I wonder what Law I will use to break through to the Emperor Realm in the future.

After a moment of silence, Mo Tianxiao muttered to himself, "Within fifty years? The time has moved up again. And Junior Sister Waner has actually already broken through to the Saint Realm. This speed is a bit exaggerated."

Recalling his Revered Master's words, Mo Tianxiao felt emotional. His Junior Sister's talent was indeed terrifying. Even with the help of the quasi-emperor artifact time pagoda, it was clear that her talent was leagues ahead of his.

In the path of cultivation, time is indeed important, but without talent and Comprehension Ability, one's cultivation base might not progress an inch even with more time.

"No! I must step it up! As the Senior Brother, my cultivation base was actually surpassed by my Junior Sister. I'll definitely be laughed at when I go back."

Mo Tianxiao made up his mind. For the final fifty years, setting aside all entertainment, he would play the role of a cunning and treacherous Great Villain! He would amass wealth on a large scale!

Zhou Muxi had mentioned the calamity of the Xuanhuang World before, which gave him a small sense of urgency. Even if it was as she said, if the calamity arrived, no Cultivator in the Xuanhuang World could stay out of it.

Though he didn't know what the calamity actually was, the higher his cultivation base, the higher his safety would be.

"Brother Tianxiao, has Senior Yue left?"

Huang Xiaoyao walked over, her big eyes full of curiosity.

"Yes, Revered Master has gone back."

"Big brother!! Your Revered Master is too strong! She's simply the strongest person I've ever seen. In comparison, that old man Guixu has no style at all."

Great Dragon Ao shouted loudly, belittling the person in charge of the Chaotic Star Sea.

Mo Tianxiao laughed lightly. "Don't say that. Any Quasi-Emperor Expert is beyond our current comparison."

"This Senior must be Sister Muxi's father. Mo Tianxiao greets Senior."

Mo Tianxiao noticed King Zhou looking over and bowed politely.

"Hahaha, young friend, no need to be formal. I didn't expect Muxi to have such a wide circle of friends, even knowing Fellow Daoist Yue's Disciple. You all should get along well, deepen your bonds, and help each other more."

"Father, there's nothing left for you to do here. You go back first; I'll handle the rest."

Zhou Muxi's Face darkened at her father's words. She pushed him, saying, "Go, go quickly. The Great Zhou Dynasty has a mountain of things waiting for you to handle. Don't think about leaving them for me to finish."

"Hey, you child, what's wrong with your father talking to Young Friend Mo?"

Ultimately, under Zhou Muxi's enforcement, King Zhou could only bid everyone farewell and leave.

"Young friends, thank you for taking care of my daughter. If you have the chance, you're welcome to visit the Great Zhou Dynasty's imperial family. I will personally host you all."

Mo Tianxiao and the others smiled politely as they bid farewell to King Zhou.

After King Zhou left, Zhou Muxi finally breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at Mo Tianxiao with a complicated gaze. "Don't take my father's words to heart. And regarding what happened before, regardless of our positions, I thank you all."

Mo Tianxiao looked dissatisfied. "Sister Muxi, we are friends. Why talk about thanks? Or do you think a Demonic Sect Disciple like me isn't worthy of being your friend?"

Zhou Muxi was stunned for a moment, then gave a relieved smile. "I am not that kind of person. If I really cared about that, I wouldn't have plotted against the Blood God Palace, right, Brother Tianxiao?"

She emphasized the word 'brother' heavily, showing that she still had quite a bit of resentment toward Mo Tianxiao in her heart.

A good sister suddenly turned into a brother; it was hard for anyone to accept that immediately. Thinking about her past intimate interactions with her 'sister', Zhou Muxi's Face couldn't help but heat up.

Luckily, she hadn't done things like bathing with her 'sister', otherwise she really wouldn't know how to Face Mo Tianxiao.

"It seems Sister Muxi still needs some time to adapt to me being a brother, but right now the most important thing for us should be thinking about how to divide the spoils..."

Mo Tianxiao gave a 'jie jie jie' laugh. Zhou Muxi and the others looked at each other and also began to laugh, looking like a group of lechers who had caught a beauty.
