Dongfang Siyu appeared somewhat reserved, while Mo Xie did not bother to be polite. He plopped down on a seat and pulled Dongfang Siyu down with him, asking, "Brother Xu, it's not that I'm overthinking things, but I just want to know why the leader of the Dao Sect would grant me this Dao Sound Order?"
Upon hearing Mo Xie's words, Xu Qingfeng paused for a moment, then glanced at Mo Xie and smiled, saying, "How could I possibly know what the leader is thinking? Perhaps he has his own considerations. What you’re asking is also a question that many in the Dao Sect are puzzled about."
After speaking, Xu Qingfeng looked at Mo Xie with some hesitation before finally saying, "You've hit the nail on the head with your question. There are still many people in the Dao Sect who are dissatisfied with you because of this. You should know that in this world, wherever there is light, there is also darkness. So..."
Mo Xie narrowed his eyes and replied, "I understand. Thank you for the reminder."
After saying that, Mo Xie glanced at him and then shifted the topic, saying, "Brother Xu, don’t you have any thoughts about this..."
"I can't say I haven't thought about the Dao Sound Order, but I still have my principles. Moreover, this is a direct order from the leader; who would dare to disobey?"
Xu Qingfeng said calmly as he took out a seemingly ordinary token from his storage ring and handed it to Mo Xie. "This is the Dao Sound Order. However, to use it, you must go to the Dao Sect's Dao Sound Peak. In other words, you need to make a trip to the Dao Sect."
Mo Xie accepted the token that looked quite ordinary; it was palm-sized and appeared to be made of wood, though he couldn't tell what kind of wood it was.
Seeing Mo Xie examining the Dao Sound Order, Xu Qingfeng smiled and said, "Once this token is in your hands, you'll be in danger. Make sure to keep it safe! And there's no need to think about what this Dao Sound Order is made of; no one can know."
Hearing Xu Qingfeng's words, Mo Xie looked up at him and nodded as he stored away the Dao Sound Order. In fact, he had already used a probing technique to examine it.
Dao Sound Order: (Celestial Grade Item) - A token that allows access to Dao Sound.
It sounds so mysterious and impressive; it turns out it's just a Copy token, Mo Xie thought with a wry smile. However, he did not underestimate the Dao Sound Order. Since it could be spoken of so highly, even if it was merely a Copy token for him, that Copy must certainly be something extraordinary!
However, the quality of the Dao Sound Order puzzled Mo Xie. He knew that the System categorized items in the cultivation world into seven grades: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. But this celestial grade... Mo Xie had never even heard of it!
"Mo Xie? Mo Xie!" Hearing Dongfang Siyu calling him several times brought Mo Xie back from his thoughts. He saw Xu Qingfeng holding a wine cup in front of him as if offering a toast!
Ling Mo Xie quickly smiled apologetically and raised his glass to drink.
Xu Qingfeng, although somewhat puzzled by Ling Mo Xie's earlier contemplation, did not ask anything further and said with a smile, “Gate Master seems to value you quite a bit. You shouldn’t let him down. When are you planning to go to the Taoist Sect and use the Daoist Order Decree?”
Ling Mo Xie smiled lightly, thinking, what does he value? I don’t even know that Daoist Sect Leader. He couldn’t believe that anyone would value him as if fortune had fallen from the sky.
However, in front of Xu Qingfeng, he naturally wouldn’t say something so disrespectful. He just casually replied, “I need to think about it. After all, I still have things to deal with here. My cultivation level is still low. I want to wait until my cultivation improves before going. Didn’t you also say that within the Taoist Sect... right now, I wouldn’t be able to handle it!”
Upon hearing Ling Mo Xie's response, Xu Qingfeng glanced at him and chuckled, “It’s up to you then. Since your timing is uncertain, I’ll head back to the Taoist Sect. Let’s not talk about this anymore; let’s drink...”
Thus, amidst the clinking of glasses and lively conversation, Ling Mo Xie found himself enjoying a pleasant chat with Xu Qingfeng. He felt that Xu Qingfeng didn’t carry the airs or bad temper typical of those big Sect Disciples. They both felt a connection with each other and parted reluctantly late into the night.
The next morning, Ling Mo Xie rubbed his heavy head as he got out of bed, thinking to himself that if Xu Qingfeng had no ill intentions, he could be a good friend.
At that moment, Dongfang Siyu walked in and looked at the clearly just-awoken Ling Mo Xie, saying, “Mo Xie, that guy Liu Wanshan already rushed back to the Divine Martial Gate last night. It seems there’s no hope of getting their help with my matter regarding the Izumo Kingdom.”
As she spoke, she couldn’t help but let out a long sigh.
Hearing her sigh, Ling Mo Xie leaned against the headboard and looked up at her, saying, “What’s wrong? Do you really want to marry him in exchange for his help?”
“Of course not!” Dongfang Siyu stuck out her tongue and quickly replied.
Only then did Ling Mo Xie nod and say, “But aside from that, there’s really no point in discussing anything with the Divine Martial Gate. To put it bluntly, they never intended to help the Izumo Kingdom in the first place.”
Dongfang Siyu nodded in agreement, saying, “What you said is indeed true. That’s why I’m so eager to find that treasure. With the treasure’s support, the Izumo Kingdom would at least have a fifty percent chance of winning.”
After a moment of silence, Ling Mo Xie said, “Have we informed the King? If we have agreed on it, let’s hurry up and find that treasure!”
Just as Dongfang Siyu was about to respond, a voice requesting an audience suddenly came from outside the palace. It was a Palace Maid reporting that Long Zheng wanted to see Ling Mo Xie.
Ling Mo Xie was somewhat surprised; this kid wants to see me? What is he plotting? Doesn’t he understand the situation yet?
“I won’t see him!” Ling Mo Xie thought for a moment and decisively refused.
Then, he said to Dongfang Siyu, “Let’s go find that treasure now.”
Dongfang Siyu glanced at Ling Mo Xie and nodded, “Alright, the situation in Izumo Kingdom is tense, and we can’t send many people out. We’ll have to rely on ourselves.”
After saying that, she led Ling Mo Xie out of the palace, taking only a few people with them as they set off lightly towards the location indicated for the treasure.
Upon hearing that Ling Mo Xie refused to meet him, Long Zheng was naturally furious.
He had initially thought that since Ling Mo Xie had the favor of the Taoist Sect, if he allied with Ling Mo Xie against Liu Wanshan, it would be easier for him to deal with Ling Mo Xie later than with Liu Wanshan. However, he never expected that Ling Mo Xie wouldn’t even see him.
This made him feel greatly insulted. Angrily, he said, “Hmph! Just because he has a little connection with the Taoist Sect? He thinks he’s above me? Even if I have to ally with Liu Wanshan, I will make him pay!”
Long Zheng's expression darkened as he muttered coldly to himself in his room.
Meanwhile, Ling Mo Xie had already arrived outside the treasure location with Dongfang Siyu.
