"Hey, kid, are you looking for a fight?" Upon hearing Ling Mo Xie's words, the passionate youths who were fired up at that moment couldn't hold back anymore. They all wanted to show off in front of Shangguan Ying'er to win her favor, and some had already begun to channel their Spiritual Energy, ready to take action against Ling Mo Xie.
A wicked smile appeared at the corner of Ling Mo Xie's mouth as he looked at the eager young men rolling up their sleeves, preparing to brawl. He didn't mind helping them cool down their boiling blood.
Shangguan Ying'er turned around and, upon seeing Ling Mo Xie, was momentarily stunned. When she noticed the scene before her, she felt a bit at a loss and stood there for a while until she saw one of the boys casting a spell towards Ling Mo Xie, which snapped her back to reality.
Seeing a boy's spell coming towards him, Ling Mo Xie remained calm and was about to teach this meddler a lesson when he suddenly felt a force pulling him forward, causing him to take a few steps in that direction.
Only then did he realize that Shangguan Ying'er had come back to her senses and immediately grabbed his wrist, running out of the Spirit Herb Pavilion towards the outskirts of the city.
Feeling Shangguan Ying'er tightly gripping his wrist, Ling Mo Xie let out a wry smile and thought helplessly that he would let those kids off this time.
As a cultivator, Shangguan Ying'er was naturally fast. Ling Mo Xie had no choice but to quicken his pace to keep up. In no time, they arrived at a small grove on the outskirts of the city. Before them was a clear stream flowing gently. Once they confirmed that no one was chasing after them, they finally stopped.
"I say, why are you running? And why are you dragging me along? I was just about to teach those kids a lesson!" Ling Mo Xie said with annoyance as he looked at Shangguan Ying'er, who was leaning against a tree trunk with one hand while covering her chest and panting.
"Uh... well... I don't really know. I just subconsciously wanted to leave there quickly since I caused such trouble!" Shangguan Ying'er replied hesitantly after being caught off guard by Ling Mo Xie's question.
At that moment, her mind had gone blank; she hadn't thought about anything else but wanting to get away quickly!
"By the way, how did you end up here?" Ling Mo Xie complained but didn't intend to pursue the matter further. Hearing Shangguan Ying'er's response made him drop the issue entirely and instead asked her curiously.
As far as Ling Mo Xie knew, wasn't Shangguan Ying'er supposed to be going back to cultivate?
Caught off guard by Ling Mo Xie's question, Shangguan Ying'er found it difficult to answer because she had come here under Sect Leader's orders to win over Ling Mo Xie.
After a long pause, she pretended to be annoyed and said, "What? Don't you want to see me?"
Ling Mo Xie chuckled awkwardly. "That's not what I meant! How could I not want to see you? Otherwise, I wouldn't have taken the initiative to greet you. Who knew you..."
Ling Mo Xie glanced at Shangguan Ying'er with a mischievous smile, finding her feigned anger amusing. He leaned closer to her face and whispered, "I think about you every day. What about you? Do you think of me?"
Shangguan Ying'er looked at the suddenly enlarged face before her, feeling the warm breath of Ling Mo Xie brush against her skin. Her face turned red, and she quickly turned away, saying, "Who would think of you!"
"Haha!" Ling Mo Xie took a step back, laughing heartily at the sight of Shangguan Ying'er's flushed face. Her ethereal beauty made her skin appear as white as jade, and the hint of pink added to her allure.
"I know! Let me guess, you finished your training so quickly because you missed me too much to concentrate. You came to the capital but didn't come to find me because you were too shy and just wanted to steal a glance at me, right? I knew it! That makes sense. Let me guess some more..."
Seeing Ling Mo Xie's sudden arrogance, Shangguan Ying'er widened her eyes in shock and quickly interrupted him, fearing what he might guess next.
"You're so full of yourself!" Shangguan Ying'er said in annoyance, giving Ling Mo Xie an exasperated glare.
However, Ling Mo Xie seemed unfazed by her glare; instead, his sparkling eyes appeared to be sending flirtatious signals.
As Ling Mo Xie remained silent and smiled at her, Shangguan Ying'er's anger faded, replaced by confusion as she touched her face. "What are you looking at? Is there something on my face?"
Ling Mo Xie looked at her puzzled expression and slowly replied, "Nothing much. Just appreciating the view! Isn't a beautiful woman meant to be admired? Otherwise, what's the point of being so lovely?"
Indeed, women have little resistance to compliments about their beauty. Upon hearing Ling Mo Xie's words, Shangguan Ying'er's anger dissipated completely. She lowered her head with a slight blush and smiled, saying, "No way..."
Right! The sect leader mentioned wanting to win over Ling Mo Xie. As she lowered her head, Shangguan Ying'er suddenly remembered that she had come to meet Ling Mo Xie with a mission in mind. That's why she had come to the capital but hadn't visited him for so long.
Seeing that Ling Mo Xie seemed to be in a good mood, Shangguan Ying'er hesitated for a moment before tentatively asking him, "What do you think of the Azure Emperor Sect?"
"Why are you bringing this up all of a sudden?" Ling Mo Xie frowned slightly, looking puzzled.
Shangguan Ying'er dared not meet his gaze and focused on the flowing river beside them as she said, "Just answer my question!"
"Alright then, the Azure Emperor Sect, one of the three major sects in the Land of Izumo, is renowned for its expertise in Alchemy and plays an important role among the three sects." Ling Mo Xie could only respond helplessly upon hearing Shangguan Ying'er’s words.
"What else? What do you want to hear? I’ll tell you."
"Can you be a bit more serious? I'm asking you very seriously!" Shangguan Ying'er was naturally dissatisfied with Ling Mo Xie's response and turned to glare at him.
Ling Mo Xie looked at her harmless glare and smiled, saying, "What exactly do you want to say?"
"Um..." Shangguan Ying'er hesitated for a moment and said, "I see that although you come from a family background, you haven't joined a sect yet. How about joining our Azure Emperor Sect?"
Shangguan Ying'er cautiously raised her head to observe Ling Mo Xie's expression. Seeing his calm demeanor eased her anxiety. Could it be that he would agree?
"Not really?" Looking at Shangguan Ying'er eagerly awaiting his answer, Ling Mo Xie's smile remained as he shook his head slowly.
"Why not? You know that our Azure Emperor Sect is one of the three major sects in the Land of Izumo. We definitely have the ability to protect your growth, and since you excel in Alchemy, we have many master alchemists in our Azure Emperor Sect. With their guidance, your Alchemy skills will surely improve..."
Upon hearing Ling Mo Xie's response, Shangguan Ying'er became a bit anxious and spoke rapidly.
This was also because she had placed too much hope on this matter; hence her disappointment was so immediate. After all, the sect leader hadn't insisted that she must recruit Ling Mo Xie into the Azure Emperor Sect. As for how to persuade him, she could gauge that herself.
"There’s no reason; I just don’t want to join. I believe the Azure Emperor Sect won’t be of much help to me," Ling Mo Xie stated firmly regarding this matter.
However, he thought to himself, what a joke! Joining the Azure Emperor Sect? Not to mention that his Alchemy relies entirely on the System's Alchemy Furnace; those so-called master alchemists would not be of any help to him at all. Besides, he had a formidable enemy within the Azure Emperor Sect!
He certainly couldn't walk into a tiger's den willingly!
Although he didn't know why Cang Qin had yet to come looking for trouble with him, Ling Mo Xie did not believe that he would simply let him off the hook.
Ling Mo Xie was not mistaken; Cang Qin would not let him off easily. At this moment, within the Azure Emperor's palace, Cang Qin had originally planned to find a time to directly go to the capital of the Outcloud Kingdom to kill Ling Mo Xie. However, he suddenly learned that Ling Mo Xie likely had powerful allies backing him.
This made him cautious, and he no longer dared to act rashly as he had previously intended.
He decided to observe for a while longer, waiting for the right opportunity. Meanwhile, the spiritual herb he had planted was nearing maturity. As long as he could refine it into a pill, he was confident that even if Ling Mo Xie did have powerful allies, he could strike and kill Ling Mo Xie before those allies intervened!
As for what would happen with those powerful allies after killing Ling Mo Xie, Cang Qin did not think too much about it.
By a small river on the outskirts of the capital of the Outcloud Kingdom, Ling Mo Xie changed the subject and said, "Alright, let's not talk about these matters anymore. We haven't seen each other in a long time; shouldn't we just talk about pleasant things?"
"Pah! Who wants to talk about pleasant things with you?" Shangguan Ying'er retorted disdainfully at Ling Mo Xie but did not press the issue further.
"Then who else is there? Of course, it's this beautiful lady in front of me!" Ling Mo Xie seemed completely oblivious to Shangguan Ying'er's disdain. He raised an eyebrow and said to her.
"What nonsense are you talking?" Shangguan Ying'er glared at Ling Mo Xie again, but he just laughed heartily, taking it as flirtation.
The two of them laughed and walked slowly along the riverbank towards the capital of the Outcloud Kingdom. At this moment, those hot-blooded youths who wanted to meddle should have dispersed by now.
Little did he know that those hot-blooded youths had only acted on impulse and had indeed scattered for the time being. However, there were still others in the city who were very displeased with him!
These people were none other than members of the Feng family. They had already learned of Feng Yixing's death in Spirit City and that Ling Mo Xie had retreated from Spirit City. This news was now known throughout the land, leading them to suspect that Feng Yixing's death was somehow related to Ling Mo Xie.
