Mo Qianyuan had a face full of arrogance; he felt that the reactions of those around him were completely justified. He strode forward, with only one person in his eyes, and that was Ziyun Xianzi, a beautiful and delicate flower.
At the same time, he was much more patient with those disciples who flattered him. He nodded slightly at them, as these individuals were all talents relying on the Mo family’s power, so he naturally wouldn’t act too unreasonable. Then, he approached Ziyun Xianzi and looked at her with deep affection, proudly saying, “Ziyun, I’m here to help you gather the Rongdao fruit.” However, Ziyun Xianzi did not appreciate his words and replied flatly, “No need, I can do it myself.”
“Indeed, would Ziyun want you to gather the fruit? You are just trying to ingratiate yourself with ulterior motives. Ziyun, come over to my side,” Ji Ruri coldly huffed as he walked over to Ziyun Xianzi, unwilling to show weakness.
Mo Qianyuan said, “Ji Ruri, don’t act like a big shot over there. With me here, you think you can snatch a Rongdao fruit today?”
“Is that so? I’d like to give it a try and see who ends up with nothing!” Ji Ruri retorted stubbornly.
The Mo family and the Ji family had been rivals for years, and they had grown tired of putting on airs, directly challenging each other instead. Mo Qianyuan paid no mind to Ji Ruri, and although he had hit a snag with Ziyun Xianzi, he showed no signs of impatience and continued, “Ziyun, I know you can obtain the Rongdao fruit by yourself, but aren’t you trying to secure one for your brother as well? The essence of the Rongdao grass cannot be preserved, but the fruit can be kept for a long time. Once your brother enters the Martial Emperor realm, he’ll naturally need one.”
Ziyun Xianzi’s aura weakened involuntarily. Although she was also half a step into the Martial God realm and had enough confidence to absorb the Rongdao grass essence, her energy was limited, and with so many experts around, she couldn’t guarantee she would obtain much. However, she was very indulgent toward her brother and wanted to secure a great fortune for him, which made her hesitate, and her refusal was no longer firm.
“Since Young Master Mo is so sincere, Ziyun Xianzi might as well agree.”
“Exactly, this is a Rongdao fruit! Young Master Mo is willing to obtain some for Ziyun Xianzi. His admiration for Ziyun Xianzi is indeed genuine.”
Some young talents behind Mo Qianyuan chuckled. Naturally, they spoke this way, but they were all extremely envious in their hearts because Ziyun Xianzi was truly breathtaking. In the Martial Domain’s three heavens, there were many beautiful women and talented individuals, but few could compare to Ziyun Xianzi.
Because not only was Ziyun Xianzi stunningly beautiful, but she also possessed astonishing martial talent, which naturally attracted many men. Moreover, while the Ziyun family could not compete with the Ji family and the Mo family, it was still one of the top families in several states, just below the Mo and Ji families. Both the Mo and Ji families sought to befriend the Ziyun family to gain their support.
“Then I thank you, Brother Mo,” Ziyun Xianzi nodded. She couldn’t refuse such goodwill, but she had already decided in her heart to repay him with a precious gift and return this favor immediately. She understood the difficulties of her family; situated between the two major families, it seemed like both families were being friendly, but in reality, it was not easy to live. They needed to be very careful; if they inadvertently angered one of the families, her Ziyun family would be unable to withstand their wrath.
Mo Qianyuan’s face was full of pride as he said, “It’s a small matter!”
He was the best of the Mo family, having long since entered the half-step Martial God realm, but he could never take the final step. With his current cultivation, attracting the Rongdao fruit was naturally an easy task for him, as he prided himself on being unmatched in the field.
