In the end, the battle concluded with the assassin being captured by the elders. Ling Mo Xie squinted and smiled, returning to his dilapidated courtyard for a good sleep. The next day, he woke up refreshed and full of energy.
At the hour of Chen, in the Ling family ancestral hall of Hongfeng City, nearly all the members of the Ling family gathered there. In front of the hall stood a middle-aged man dressed in a blue robe, his hair tied up with a coiling dragon hairpin. He had a stern face and a cold demeanor, standing on the steps with his hands clasped behind his back. Behind him were several young men in long robes with blue bases and white edges, respectfully following him and looking down at the Ling family members below with disdain.
Ling Jiu Yin also stood to one side, showing utmost respect to the middle-aged man.
"Where is Young Master Mo Xie?" the middle-aged man asked flatly, his expression unchanged.
Ling Jiu Yin shuddered at the question; indeed, the Master Family had noticed Ling Mo Xie again. He thought to himself that he must not let anyone know he had once hired someone to kill him! So he quickly replied respectfully, "He may not have arrived yet! Please wait a moment; I will send someone to fetch him!"
"No need! I’m here! Aren't we here to present awards? Let's get on with it! I can't stay in this damned place any longer!" Ling Mo Xie said as he walked over slowly, holding Zhou Xinyi's hand.
The Blue-Clad Middle-Aged Man glanced at Ling Mo Xie and said disrespectfully, "Greetings, Seventh Young Master." Ling Mo Xie was ranked seventh among the direct descendants of the Master Family.
Ling Mo Xie chose not to address the middle-aged man's disrespect. In this world, to earn respect, status means nothing; only strength is the true source of respect!
Seeing that even the middle-aged man referred to Ling Mo Xie as Seventh Young Master, Ling Jiu Yin realized that the Master Family had restored Ling Mo Xie's identity. He dared not act recklessly; although he felt anger inside, he maintained a facade of respect and said, "Yes! We will present it right away!"
Ling Mo Xie curled his lips into a sarcastic smile but did not expose it. He nodded and stood at the bottom of the steps with Zhou Xinyi, waiting for the awards to be presented. Although he did not care for any rewards, completing the main quest from the System required that rewards be given first.
Ling Jiu Yin knew that there was nothing he could do now to regain favor with Ling Mo Xie and resigned himself to fate. With a hint of dejection, he announced, "Please have Group Three come up to receive their awards!"
A few young people in their twenties stepped forward as Ling Jiu Yin distributed prizes to them one by one.
"Please have Group Two come up to receive their awards!"
Ling Mo Xie patted Zhou Xinyi's hand, smiled at her, and walked up. Ling Jiuyin handed a thin booklet and a long knife to Ling Mo Xie with an impressive expression. Ling Mo Xie didn't spare him a glance and turned to leave the stage.
At the same time, a voice rang in her ears: "Congratulations! Main quest completed! Rewards: eleven Small Experience Pills, Alchemy Room unlocked, one Dan Fang obtained, please draw!"
A large spinning wheel appeared before Ling Mo Xie, featuring twelve Dan Fang! Since she had just started cultivating and didn't know what Dan Fang she needed, she casually pressed a button. Suddenly, fireworks erupted, and the System's notification sounded: "Congratulations! You have obtained the second-level Dan Fang 'Spring Breeze Transforming Rain Dan'! It has been added to your backpack, please check it yourself!"
After Ling Mo Xie finished claiming her System rewards, the prizes had already been distributed. Ling Jiuyin was speaking on stage, essentially saying that those from the Ling family in Tianfeng City should cultivate diligently and not forget the Ling family of Hongfeng Town when they became successful.
Ling Mo Xie couldn't be bothered to listen to his nonsense and took out her first-place reward to examine it. The long knife was a high-grade yellow-tier spiritual weapon, something the Ling family of Hongfeng Town couldn't provide. It seemed that it came from the Ling family in Tianfeng City; her cheap grandfather must have seen her potential and wanted to curry favor by compensating her.
The knife was named Balao Blade, perfectly suited for the skill she obtained from avoiding pursuit during a mission, 'Nine Waves Long Rippling Blade Technique'!
Since this knife was good, the thin booklet should be decent too. When Ling Mo Xie opened it, she found it contained a small spell called 'Crimson Fire Decision,' which could be learned at the initial stage of enlightenment.
Just as Ling Mo Xie opened the booklet, a System notification chimed: "Ding! Would you like to learn Fireball Technique?"
Ling Mo Xie curled her lips; so 'Crimson Fire Decision' was actually Fireball Technique! However, this reminded her that manuals obtained from outside could also be learned like skill books!
This was practically cheating! Even if others had manuals and someone to teach them, they still had to slowly comprehend and practice to learn. But all she needed to do was click confirm to learn it! She just wondered if there were any limitations.
Seeing that no one around was paying attention to her, Ling Mo Xie eagerly learned Fireball Technique and also learned 'Nine Waves Long Rippling Blade Technique.' This was her first spell! No one could understand how exciting it felt for a modern person to actually learn magic!
By the time Ling Mo Xie had learned these two skills, Ling Jiuyin had finished his speech, and the other disciples who didn't need to go to Tianfeng City dispersed!
The Blue-Clad Middle-Aged Man approached Mo Xie and asked, "Young Master, can we leave now?"
"Yes, yes! Let's go! Hurry up!" Mo Xie eagerly replied, his mind focused on finding a place to test his Fireball technique.
However, a hint of disdain flashed in the Blue-Clad Middle-Aged Man's eyes as he interpreted Mo Xie's urgency as a desire to return quickly to the Ling family in Tianfeng City.
Outside the Ling family's main gate, Mo Xie and Zhou Xinyi climbed into a spacious sedan chair. The Blue-Clad Middle-Aged Man and several young men rode horses, while the top five from the three groups of the Ling family could only follow behind in a dismal manner.
Sighing, Mo Xie reflected on his previous treatment at the Ling family in Hongfeng Town and lamented, "No wonder this is a world where the weak are preyed upon by the strong! Once I showed some exceptional talent, my treatment changed immediately!"
However, Mo Xie sneered; such a grandfather only highlighted the lack of familial affection! Because of his poor talent and lack of utility, he had been pushed far away to stay in the sidelines. Now that he demonstrated his talent and became useful to them, they hurriedly welcomed him back with good food and drink!
Having been in this Cultivation World for over a week, Mo Xie had never left the Ling residence. At this moment, seeing the bustling scene of the town through the carriage window made him feel emotional.
The town was crowded and noisy, with many shops that he had never seen in his previous life—such as Weapon Shops, Gem Stores, and Alchemy Shops.
Zhou Xinyi also gazed at the lively street scene and said to Mo Xie with excitement, "I heard that Tianfeng City has a branch of Azure Emperor Pavilion! There’s also an auction house! And a branch of the Refining Pavilion! Plus a martial arts arena! It must be so lively!"
Looking at Zhou Xinyi's cute expression as she counted off on her fingers, Mo Xie chuckled softly, "Then when we get to Tianfeng City, I'll accompany you to have fun. How about that?"
