Chapter 283: Old Feelings
Han Li felt that informing the other party about the disappearance of Mo Caihuan and her mother was somewhat unnecessary.
As long as Mo Fengwu knew that she still had relatives alive in the world, that was enough! It was unlikely that she would bring up the topic of seeing Mo Caihuan and her mother again—after all, things had changed too much.
Han Li then briefly told her about the encounter with Mo Caihuan, which almost brought Mo Fengwu to tears of joy.
Mo Fengwu clearly understood that, given Han Li’s identity as an immortal cultivator, there was no need to fabricate any lies to deceive her, a weak woman. The fact that he was so courteous to her was probably because of their brief connection years ago.
Therefore, Mo Fengwu joyfully clasped her hands together and placed them over her chest, silently praying for a moment before returning to her usual composure.
However, facing Han Li again, she was clearly no longer so cold.
She must have realized that if it weren’t for Han Li’s assistance at Yanling Fortress, Madam Yan and her daughter would still be in dire straits!
“Thank you, Young Master Han, for telling me about the whereabouts of Caihuan and the fourth madam. This is the first good news Fengwu has heard in seven or eight years,” Mo Fengwu said calmly after settling down.
But before Han Li could say anything, she continued:
“Although my youngest sister and her mother are safe, my eldest sister and the other concubines are still missing. They are most likely in grave danger. Fengwu must avenge them! But Fengwu is powerless. Junior Brother Han, you will help me, won’t you?”
As she spoke, Mo Fengwu’s expression became very fragile. A mist seemed to cover her bright eyes, appearing as if she was about to cry from sorrow.
Seeing this, Han Li rubbed his nose, feeling both headache and helplessness.
He had hoped that once she knew the whereabouts of Mo Caihuan and her mother, she wouldn’t be so eager for revenge. But he never expected the Mo Fengwu he hadn’t seen for years to become so obsessed with this matter!
To be honest, if he were told to eliminate a qi refining stage cultivator, it would be much easier than killing a mortal with status for no reason.
Since entering Yellow Maple Valley, Han Li had already learned that the entire Yue Country’s more than ten provinces and prefectures had long been completely divided among the seven great sects and several major families.
Any long-standing secular power in a province would have cultivators watching secretly, often supported behind the scenes by these immortal cultivation sects.
The once emerging Mo Residence and Domineering Manor in Lanzhou hadn’t encountered immortal cultivators because they were newcomers. Otherwise, when Han Li assassinated Ouyang Feitian of Domineering Manor, it wouldn’t have been so easy to get away with it.
But the Five Colors Sect was different.
This sect had risen more than a hundred years ago and was considered quite old. Lanzhou was territory acknowledged by the seven great sects as Spiritual Beast Mountain’s domain, so the sect likely had the backing of Spiritual Beast Mountain.
That was why the Mo Residence suffered a crushing defeat upon contact.
As a disciple of Yellow Maple Valley, Han Li knew that randomly wiping out a secular leader supported by another sect wouldn’t be easy to explain.
However, recently demonic path practitioners had planned to infiltrate Yue Country to sabotage the secular world, which presented a good opportunity to act discreetly. If he struck during this time and was careful, he shouldn’t cause trouble.
Han Li thought this but showed no sign on his face. Instead, he stood and paced back and forth inside the room.
After careful consideration, he looked at Mo Fengwu’s pretty face and said calmly:
“Miss Fengwu, normally I can’t agree to this request—it would bring me a great deal of trouble! But the situation in the immortal cultivation world is somewhat special lately, so it’s not that there is no chance at all. How about this: if I get the opportunity in the future, I will try to eliminate the Sect Leader of the Five Colors Sect. But if it proves impossible, Miss Fengwu, you must give up your desire for revenge!”
