Back at the Izumo Kingdom Palace, Ling Mo Xie learned from others about the effects of his Elixir.
Once the Elixir was delivered to the front lines, the Izumo Kingdom soldiers became incredibly fierce. Were they injured? No problem, just take a dose of the medicine, and they would be revitalized and charge back into battle. Could they not win? No worries, another dose would unleash their potential and turn the tide!
In short, Ling Mo Xie's Elixir was highly effective. After its distribution, the situation in the Izumo Kingdom shifted dramatically, causing the Feng Qian Guo soldiers to retreat continuously. The outcome of this war was almost without doubt.
At this moment, Ling Mo Xie realized just how significant an advantage an Alchemist had under similar circumstances!
Of course, the exaggerated effects were partly due to the fact that this Alchemist was Ling Mo Xie himself, who possessed the System's Alchemist's Furnace.
If it had been any other Alchemist, they might not have even managed to produce so many Elixirs before the Izumo Kingdom was breached by Feng Qian Guo. Only with a large number of Alchemists could they achieve results comparable to Ling Mo Xie's.
Now that he knew the Izumo Kingdom was safe and sound, Ling Mo Xie felt relieved. He then arranged to rest for another night at the Palace with Shangguan Ying'er before setting off for the Menglan Conference the next day.
After Ling Mo Xie had said all the right things, Shangguan Ying'er left contentedly to prepare for their departure, while Ling Mo Xie returned to his room in the Palace.
Having already found news about Azure Cloud Valley, Ling Mo Xie felt conflicted and dazed as he lay down on his bed, ready to sleep.
However, as soon as he lay down, he heard a soft cry of pain. Ling Mo Xie immediately woke up a bit more alert and jumped up to look at his bed.
There he saw a young woman dressed in loose white clothing, frowning at him with a resentful gaze that made her appear pitiful.
"Who are you?" Ling Mo Xie asked sharply, confusion written all over his face.
Although the woman had some beauty, she was far from being on par with Shangguan Ying'er or Dongfang Siyu. This did not make Ling Mo Xie lose his composure; instead, he silently scolded himself for being too careless to not notice someone else in his room.
The woman looked sorrowful and spoke softly, "Young Master, I..."
Ling Mo Xie's body shivered with goosebumps as he quickly replied, "Alright, alright! Speak properly; otherwise, I'll throw you out!"
A look of shock and hurt flashed across her face. With an expression full of grievance, she pouted and said, "I... My name is Mu He. I am from Qinglian Palace nearby. I came to admire your deeds and... wanted to follow you." The girl shyly lifted her head to look at Ling Mo Xie as she spoke.
Ling Mo Xie listened to the woman's words, feeling a thousand doubts in his heart. Wasn't this just a pie falling from the sky? Unfortunately, Ling Mo Xie had never believed in such things.
He knew that Qinglian Palace was a medium-sized sect within the borders of the State of Outcloud, but he had only heard a little about it and had no interactions with them in daily life.
Seeing that Ling Mo Xie did not respond immediately, the woman approached him, her body seeming to lack bones as she leaned closer, her voice soft and delicate as she said, "Young Master, am I really not as good as Shangguan Ying'er?"
As she spoke, her eyes sparkled, looking at Ling Mo Xie with a pitiful expression.
Ling Mo Xie glanced down at her and replied, "Not at all!" With that, he grabbed the woman and opened the door, throwing her outside. Although he didn't know what was going on, it was best to stay away from such strange matters.
The woman fell outside Ling Mo Xie's door, her face filled with shock, unable to regain her composure for a long time.
Mu He was the favored disciple of the master of Qinglian Palace, known for her pure beauty. When the master learned that many major sects within the State of Outcloud seemed eager to befriend Ling Mo Xie, she didn't know why but recognized that since these major sects wanted to befriend him, it indicated Ling Mo Xie's extraordinary nature. She also knew of his various deeds and thought that someone like him was indeed worth befriending.
Putting aside everything else, just looking at what he had accomplished made him a promising prospect.
Moreover, she learned that recently the Azure Emperor's sect had even sent Shangguan Ying'er to befriend Ling Mo Xie. The master of Qinglian Palace smiled; since it was a women's sect, she couldn't believe that the women in her palace were inferior to Shangguan Ying'er. Thus, she sent her favored disciple to make an approach.
Mu He received her master's order and came confidently, planning to be straightforward; no man could resist her charm. However, she never expected to be thrown out by Ling Mo Xie.
What bothered her even more was that damned Ling Mo Xie actually said she was not as good as Shangguan Ying'er!
Aside from status, how was she inferior?
Ling Mo Xie naturally had no idea that Mu He was filled with resentment after being thrown out. He regarded this as a minor incident and had already laid down on his bed for a good sleep. Tomorrow he would attend the Menglan Conference with Shangguan Ying'er; it was better to rest well since being with such a beautiful woman would surely bring about constant trouble.
Mu He sat there for quite some time before coming back to her senses and accepting the fact that she had been thrown out by Ling Mo Xie.
"Hmph! Is this guy even a man?" Mu He cursed at the closed door but ultimately left with a helpless expression. What should she do now? She had come here confidently, promising her master that she would make Ling Mo Xie kneel before her; she certainly did not want to return in such disgraceful fashion.
Feeling unworthy to face Master Mu He, after leaving the Palace, she did not return to Qinglian Palace but instead took a walk in the outskirts of the imperial city, feeling frustrated. She pondered how to make Ling Mo Xie submit to her charm; she truly did not believe that she had no appeal to Ling Mo Xie at all.
What she did not know was that at this moment, someone had set their sights on her.
"Little Girl, don't you hate Ling Mo Xie for treating you like that?" A voice of indeterminate gender came from somewhere.
Mu He immediately turned her head, looking around: "Who are you? Where are you?"
The voice did not respond to Mu He's question but only chuckled and said, "Don't worry about who I am; just answer my question!"
"Hmph! Someone like you, hiding in the shadows, must not be a good person. Why should I answer you?" Mu He scoffed, her tone mocking.
"A little girl being so disobedient is quite unlikable!" The voice replied nonsensically.
Furrowing her brows, Mu He thought she had encountered a lunatic and turned to leave.
However, as soon as Mu He took a step, she was shocked to find that her feet seemed unresponsive and could not move at all.
Panic surged within Mu He as she tried to channel her Spiritual Energy to escape, but under such control, she had no strength to struggle; even channeling her Spiritual Energy proved useless.
At this moment, Mu He realized she had encountered a master. Her heart trembled, but she could only helplessly ask, "What do you want from me?"
"What do I want? I just want to help you. With Ling Mo Xie treating you like this, don’t you want to take revenge on him?" The voice spoke calmly as if devoid of emotion.
Mu He understood that if the owner of that voice truly wanted to harm her, they would have acted long ago and wouldn’t waste time talking. So she felt somewhat reassured.
Now it seemed that this voice bore a grudge against Ling Mo Xie?
"Help me? I don’t believe anyone would be so kind-hearted, especially someone like you. Just tell me what you want me to do," Mu He said. She was not foolish and quickly pieced together the situation; she felt much calmer now. If she were useful to the owner of that voice, they likely wouldn’t harm her for the time being. If she were useless, they wouldn’t have bothered talking to her earlier.
Thinking this way, Mu He naturally felt less timid than before; at least she was not in immediate danger.
"Is it really that simple? It seems you also harbor resentment towards Ling Mo Xie?" The voice sounded somewhat surprised upon hearing Mu He's response.
Mu He sneered inwardly. Did they think she was foolish? She believed that if she defied the voice, she would definitely not be able to leave safely. It was better to be straightforward, and besides, the voice was not wrong; she did indeed harbor some resentment towards Ling Mo Xie, and it would be good to get back at him.
"Since you want me to do something, Senior, isn't it a bit lacking in sincerity to not even show yourself?" Mu He said somewhat dissatisfied, without answering the voice directly.
"What does it matter whether I show myself or not? As long as you join us, that's all that matters. Rest assured, we will definitely give Ling Mo Xie an unforgettable memory! Oh no... perhaps he won't have the chance to remember at all! Hahaha!" The voice became somewhat excited when mentioning Ling Mo Xie, breaking its previously calm demeanor.
"We?" Mu He murmured softly. It seemed there was more than one person involved; she could only temporarily follow their instructions.
After all, she couldn't deal with the owner of this mysterious voice on her own, and now she learned that there were multiple people involved!
"So, what do you want me to do, Senior?" Mu He tentatively asked the voice.
"That's none of your concern. When it's time for you to know, you will naturally find out. At that time, just follow the instructions. If you succeed, we won't treat you poorly; making you the Azure Lotus Palace Master wouldn't be difficult at all," the voice said calmly again, speaking lightly to Mu He.
"Azure Lotus Palace Master?" A glimmer of eagerness flashed in Mu He's eyes. Although she was a favored disciple of the palace master, in the Cultivation World, cultivators lived long lives. To become a palace master herself would take hundreds or even thousands of years!
If she could help this mysterious person deal with Ling Mo Xie, wouldn't her dream be realized quickly?
