"Is... is it a child from the slums? What's wrong? Our Azure Emperor Sect has always taken it upon ourselves to help the common people, so why would we deliberately give the pill meant to dispel resentment to some noble scion first? Our Azure Emperor Sect doesn't need to curry favor with anyone!"
Although Ning Qilin was caught off guard by Mo Xie's question, he quickly regained his composure, raised his head, and said smugly.
"Oh? Is that so? A child from the slums? Are you lacking confidence in the pills you've developed, so you decided to test them on someone inconsequential first? After all, those noble scions may not have any impact on the Azure Emperor Sect, but you certainly can't represent us," Mo Xie said with a smile as he casually put away the invitation in his hand.
"You!" Ning Qilin's temper flared at Mo Xie's words; unable to hold back, he pointed at Mo Xie and was about to unleash a torrent of insults.
However, Mo Xie had no intention of getting entangled further. Without waiting for Ning Qilin to continue, he took hold of Sun Xiaoxiao with one hand and pushed Ning Qilin aside with the other, saying, "Move aside! What do you think you're doing blocking the road? Even a good dog wouldn't stand in the way! I don't have time to waste chatting with you here."
Ling Siwen watched Mo Xie's attitude towards Ning Qilin and shook his head with a smile but said nothing as he followed Mo Xie forward.
Ning Qilin was momentarily stunned before turning around and pointing at Mo Xie's back, saying, "You wait! Do you know? Those who dared to treat me like this have all closed their eyes forever. Sooner or later, I will send you to meet them!"
"Fine! I'll be waiting!" Mo Xie replied without looking back, waving his hand dismissively at Ning Qilin.
"Hmph! Arrogant! Truly arrogant!" Ning Qilin glared at Mo Xie's retreating figure, his face twisted in rage. "Don't think I can't deal with you!"
"Brother, Brother!" A disciple of the Azure Emperor Sect beside Ning Qilin called out with a worried expression.
"What is it?" Ning Qilin withdrew his fierce gaze from Mo Xie's back and glanced impatiently at the disciple who spoke.
"Um, um... can the pill we developed really work this time? After all, when we experimented on those captured people before, half of them..." The disciple lowered his head as he spoke. He knew he shouldn't be asking such questions, but Ning Qilin was going to compete with Mo Xie using this pill and had provoked him so much. If it didn't work...
Hearing the inquiry from the disciple of the Azure Emperor, Ning Qi glared at him with an unfriendly expression and said, "Why not? Why can't we? When we conducted the experiment back then, half of the participants who took the elixir recovered. Tomorrow, we'll have ten people take it at the same time. Even if just one person dispels their resentment, that counts as my victory!"
As he spoke, Ning Qi snorted coldly, his gaze chilling as he watched the almost disappearing figure of Ling Mo Xie: "After all, we're competing to see who can cure the infected person first. Even if I only manage to cure one out of ten, that still counts as my win!"
Although Ling Mo Xie was unsure of Ning Qi's thoughts, he could roughly guess what kind of tricks Ning Qi might pull.
"Mo Xie, this Ning Qi..." Sun Xiaoxiao looked up at Ling Mo Xie, a hint of worry written on her brow.
Ling Mo Xie reached out and playfully flicked Sun Xiaoxiao's nose. "What's wrong? Are you regretting not agreeing to him back then? After all, he seems determined to win."
Sun Xiaoxiao glared at Ling Mo Xie's carefree smile, feeling a surge of anger. "What are you talking about! It's just that since he's come to deliver an invitation, it means they've really developed a way to treat resentment. As for my situation... they didn't know I was afflicted with resentment before, which might give him a chance to argue."
Sun Xiaoxiao voiced her concerns but received no response. When she looked up, she saw Ling Mo Xie smiling at her, clearly encouraging her to continue.
"Are you in a hurry or not! This is driving me crazy!" Sun Xiaoxiao exclaimed angrily and stopped speaking. With a huff, she quickly walked into the Ling family camp.
"Mo Xie, what Xiaoxiao said does make sense. After all, you haven't cleared the resentment from her in front of them; it gives them something to talk about," Ling Siwen said as he hurried forward and entered the Ling family camp ahead of them, turning back to speak to Ling Mo Xie.
Ling Mo Xie crossed his arms and watched Sun Xiaoxiao's back, which seemed ready to burst with anger. He chuckled inwardly and said to Ling Siwen, "If they were confident in their victory, that would be one thing. But since they don't dare let the children from noble families take the elixir first, it seems they might not be so sure themselves."
"However, I wonder why they are so eager to present that immature elixir for use?"
As he spoke, Ling Mo Xie furrowed his brow; there was no need for them to rush like this.
"Haha, there's really nothing fishy about this! You can rest assured! I think the reason they are so eager to present these pills, which they themselves aren't very confident about, is definitely due to the rumors circulating outside. These rumors have even affected the Azure Emperor Sect," Ling Siwen said with a smile upon seeing Ling Mo Xie's frown.
"What rumors?"
"There are rumors that the Azure Emperor Sect, a prestigious sect known for its pills, has been unable to develop even a single pill to dispel grievances after such a long time. It suggests that the sect's fortunes are running out! Don't you think they would be anxious to release a pill to dispel these rumors? Sometimes, rumors can be deadly!"
Ling Siwen stroked his beard and sighed, "It is said that this time, the recruitment of disciples by the Azure Emperor Sect has been affected by these rumors, resulting in a direct decrease of one-fifth in the number of applicants!"
Ling Mo Xie nodded thoughtfully. It seemed that these major sects weren't as glamorous as he had imagined; they also had many shortcomings.
While chatting and laughing, Ling Siwen and Ling Mo Xie arrived at the front of the Ling family's camp. Some small tents were set up around it, encircling the larger tents behind.
Suddenly, Ling Siwen reached out and grabbed Ling Mo Xie, saying, "By the way, there is an unfavorable rumor about you within the family."
Ling Mo Xie paused in his steps, a smile on his lips. What? Was it because he had asked Bai Yunfei to deal with Ling Qilong?
However, as long as there was no evidence, how could it affect him? After all, he had never intended to inherit the position of family head; rumors didn't matter to him.
"What rumor is it? There seem to be quite a few lately." In front of Ling Siwen, Ling Mo Xie did not show any unusual expression; after all, Ling Qilong was also Ling Siwen's grandson!
