Chapter 260: A Shocking Reversal

Even with his usual resourcefulness, he couldn't think of a flexible solution at this moment.

"Young friend, since you've emerged from the Saint Prison, I presume this rune is of no use to you. Feel free to name your price!"

Seeing Lin Yu's prolonged silence, Moxie Battle spoke again.

He was already prepared to pay a hefty price.

While cultivation resources were scarce, he still had a considerable stock of treasures.

Before being sealed, the Mo family was, after all, a domain lord power with a Saint Immortal Realm expert overseeing it.

In his opinion, Lin Yu was merely toying with him to gain more benefits.

To rescue the person, he would endure it.

As he spoke, an ancient-looking rune appeared in his hand.

Lin Yu's eyes burned with desire.

This item, if he wasn't mistaken, was the cross-space communication rune worth one billion cultivation points that the System mentioned.

He wondered what kind of luck the Mo family had to obtain such a thing.

However.

No one noticed that when Moxie Battle produced this rune, the young man beside him showed a hint of evasion in his eyes, and his gaze involuntarily shifted towards Su Li, who was standing beside Lin Yu outside the village.

"Hahaha… Lin Yu, this thing is a fake! This old fellow probably doesn't even know it himself!"

Just then, the System's unrestrained laughter suddenly echoed in Lin Yu's mind.

And this laughter instantly left Lin Yu stunned.

Fake?

This old fellow had been haggling with him for so long, only to produce a fake?

Wasn't that a waste of his time?

Moreover, looking at Moxie Battle's earnest expression, it was truly possible that he himself was unaware.

A treasure guarded for countless generations turned out to be a fake; it was truly...

He wondered if this old fellow would ascend on the spot from anger when he found out.

"Oh? Xiao Yu, is the item you want this rune?"

Just as Lin Yu was contemplating how to deliver a critical blow to this old fellow, Su Li's voice suddenly reached his ears.

She was closest to Lin Yu, and when Moxie Battle took out that rune just now, she clearly saw the change in Lin Yu's expression.

It was a look of desire.

With that, she fiddled with her spatial ring for a moment before taking out an identical rune and handing it to Lin Yu, continuing:

"See if it's this one. I have one too! If you want it, just take it!"

As she spoke, her eyes blinked, full of anticipation.

Before, Lin Yu had always given things to them, the sisters.

Now that she finally had something Lin Yu needed, she was naturally very happy.

However.

Her action instantly plunged the scene into a deathly silence.

Moxie Battle's pupils rapidly contracted, a look of disbelief on his face. He looked at the item in his hand, then at the rune in Su Li's hand, a bit bewildered.

He never dreamed that Su Li would also possess such a rune.

In contrast, the young man beside him had a shifty gaze, and he instinctively retreated a step.

As for Lin Yu, he simply opened his mouth, unsure what to say.

The System indicated that the one in Su Li's hand was real.

He and this old fellow, Moxie Battle, had been playing mind games for half a day, and the real thing was actually with Su Li. This was too... dramatic!

Why bother arguing with this old fellow then?

What was Su Li's was his.

If it weren't for outsiders present, he would have wanted to hug his beloved Master and give her a big kiss.

Simply amazing.

It directly solved the problem he was facing.

"Su... Miss, where did the rune in your hand... come from?"

After a long while, Moxie Battle slowly recovered his senses. He instinctively asked.

For some reason, he had a premonition of ill omen.

"Oh, Mo Xing gave it to me before! I thought it had great commemorative significance, so I kept it!"

Su Li pointed to the young man who was still retreating behind Moxie Battle and said.

To be honest, when Mo Xing gave her this rune, she had refused several times.

Because she knew Mo Xing's feelings for her.

It was precisely for this reason that she had reluctantly chosen to leave last time.

However, when she left, unable to resist Mo Xing's persuasion, she accepted this rune.

She never expected it would be something Xiao Yu could use, which made her very happy.

If she had known this earlier, she would have insisted that Mo Xing get the one in Moxie Battle's hand as well, to leave for Xiao Yu!

"Hahaha... This is too... Hahaha... I can't, I'm going to die of laughter..."

Before the few people in the scene could react, the System couldn't take it anymore and burst into laughter in Lin Yu's mind.

Such a melodramatic event was truly bizarre.

He had seen sons who screwed over their fathers, but never grandsons who screwed over their grandfathers.

Giving a real rune to please a girl, and leaving a fake one for his own grandfather—this Mo Xing was truly a unique character.

Lin Yu also really wanted to laugh. No wonder that guy's expression was off and he kept trying to hide; turns out he did such a stupid thing.

Wouldn't Moxie Battle beat the shit out of this biological grandson!

However, he was still mistaken.

Moxie Battle did not brutally beat Mo Xing; instead, he directly threw a punch, and in Mo Xing's horrified gaze, he instantly turned into a cloud of blood mist, scattering into the void.

At the same time, his other hand directly crushed the rune in his hand into dust.

Upon hearing Su Li's words, how could he not understand the whole story?

There was only one cross-space communication rune. Since the rune in Su Li's hand was given by his own grandson, then the one in his hand could not possibly be real.

He knew his grandson's character very well.

The reason he let Su Li go was because this scoundrel had pleaded for her.

Therefore, the extreme anger in his heart directly transformed into action and was vented.

Despite this, his eyes still burned with fury.

That was the hope passed down through generations of their Mo family, yet it was given away by this scoundrel. Ten thousand deaths would not atone for his crime.

"Luo Xingchen, is it? Return the rune to me, and I will double any conditions you have!"

He had completely dropped his pretense; the aura around him instantly erupted.

His white hair turned significantly darker in the blink of an eye, transforming him from an old man into a middle-aged man.

The illusion of having no cultivation also shattered; not only did he have cultivation, but he had already reached the Mysterious Immortal Realm.

The Heavenly Dao of the Eternal Continent did affect him, but a small continental planet couldn't affect the foundation of their Mo family.

His rune had fallen into Lin Yu's hands, but his previous view remained unchanged.

Lin Yu had no use for this item; it merely increased his bargaining chip in negotiations with him.

"Tsk, old geezer, as for resources and such, you can keep them and enjoy them slowly. I'm not interested. Farewell!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yu sneered, waved the rune in his hand, and turned to leave.

He had gotten what he wanted, so why should he care about this old fellow anymore?

No one in the Mo family was good.

Their methods were also vicious.

He killed his own grandson without the slightest hesitation.
