Translator: Sissy That Walk
The claws of Yun Xiang were approaching Luo Jianqing’s chest, but suddenly, Luo Jianqing had formed a sword Qi on his hand, which was pressed right against her neck.
A figure in blood-red had arrived from the sky.
Just as Mo Qiu came, he quickly pulled Luo Jianqing’s hand and pushed Yun Xiang away.
Yun Xiang was stunned, “Mast…Mo Qiu, why are you here?”
Staring at Yun Xiang who was in astonishment, Mo Qiu wore a serious face and said coldly, “Why am I here? That’s exactly what I want to ask you. Why are you here? And Why did you attack my friend? You’d better explain it.”
At first, Mo Qiu had been quite cold and severe, but now he was milder. Even though he was less oppressive and horrible now, Yun Xiang was still so frightened. She stepped back a little and lowered her head.
“…Your friend?” Yun Xiang murmured.
Mo Qiu didn’t answer her question. Instead, he turned to Luo Jianqing, who smiled and raised his hand. Mo Qiu was baffled and then released Luo Jianqing’s hand. He beamed and said, “What? After all these days you just look at me like that? I thought you would say something nice.”
Luo Jianqing raised his eyebrow, “Say what? I miss you much, Cultivator Mo?”
Mo Qiu chuckled and didn’t respond.
Yun Xiang was still shocked, “…”
Then, Mo Qiu noticed Fo Zi who was standing aside with folded palms. Mo Qiu narrowed and fixed his eyes on Fo Zi, saying coldly, “Fo Zi Yu Chen from the Gui Yuan Sect.”
Fo Zi nodded slightly, “Cultivator Mo Qiu, one of the Luo River Thousand Autumn?”
Hearing that name, Mo Qiu was first baffled, and then curled his lip slightly, “I didn’t expect that I could meet such a master here. Luo Jianqing, you have always been accompanied by these awesome guys everywhere. My disci… friend is unable to kill you. While you didn’t hurt her, it’s inappropriate for you to tease her.”
Luo Jianqing said innocently, “Don’t you see the cuts on my chest?”
Mo Qiu lowered his head and examined carefully.
Now, the cuts had already mended, without any sign of a wound, but Mo Qiu still saw the torn clothes, so he knew Luo Jianqing had indeed been hurt.
Seeing that, Mo Qiu again wore a grave face and turned to Yun Xiang. Before he could say anything, Yun Xiang had raised her hands, “I’m sorry! It’s my fault. If I had known that he was your friend, I would not have attacked him. No, if I had known that he was the legendary Luo Jianqing, I would not have fought with him. I swear!”
As she was saying, Yun Xiang blinked her eyes pitifully and stretched out four fingers to swear to God.
Now she looked completely different from that arrogant and domineering woman she used to be, and Luo Jianqing chuckled. He didn’t know the relationship between Mo Qiu and Yun Xiang, but he knew that Mo Qiu was such a talented Cultivator as it took him less than 60 years to reach late stage Nascent Soul. If he was willing to join the Fiend Palace, he would be put in an important position and even be highly thought of by the Fiend Exalt.
It was said that in Fiend Cultivation, power mattered the most, so their relationship was quite understandable. After all, Mo Qiu’s realm was inaccessible for Yun Xiang.
Obviously, Yun Xiang’s begging didn’t win his mercy. Mo Qiu sneered and said, “Are you blind? Look at his face, he is the only one who is more handsome than me and still alive in this world. Don’t even try to deny it, ask for the punishment yourself after you return.”
Yun Xiang immediately became subdued.
This scene made Luo Jianqing more delightful. He said in a low voice, “You reprimanded the disciple from the Fiend Palace like this. Aren’t you afraid of being recognized? And I am very curious since when you can reprimand the precious disciple of Fiend Exalt?”
Mo Qiu raised his chin a little bit and beamed, “Now, I’m the pillar of the Fiend Palace. I am far more talented than that girl, so I’m the new disciple of Fiend Exalt.” After a pause, Mo Qiu continued, “So, are you concerned that my identity may be recognized?” Then, he looked at Fo Zi.
Fo Zi give him a slight smile and paid him respect.
However, Mo Qiu just gave Fo Zi a glance and flipped his red sleeve, “If I kill him, no one will know my identity anymore.”
Luo Jianqing, “…Bullshit!”
The smile on Fo Zi’s face instantly froze. “…Amitabha, Amitabha. I should have stayed in Gui Yuan Sect…”
Yun Xiang suddenly became mad, “Why do you kill innocent people!”
Mo Qiu was baffled and turned to that girl, “You got a lot of nerve to say that!”
Yun Xiang’s flame of momentum was quickly extinguished by a simple glance of Mo Qiu. She shrank, “You… you have told me that we Fiend Cultivators cannot kill innocent people. If we choose this evil path, we will be punished by Heaven Dao. Then, it will be extremely difficult for us to reach Deity Transformation Period, not to mention transforming to deity…”
Mo Qiu replied with a sneer, “Well, I thought you have forgotten that!”
Yun Xiang lowered her head, afraid to speak any more.
Luo Jianqing sighed, “Mo Qiu, although you are halfway to reaching Out-of-Body realm, I don’t allow you to bully Fo Zi. I only spent several days with him, but his profound understating on Buddhist doctrines really impressed me. Besides, he practiced well in the dharma of karma.
Mo Qiu pressed his lips together and stared at Fo Zi.
Fo Zi was counting the beads and sighed in his heart, “Really, I shouldn’t have left the Gui Yuan Sect…”
Of Course, Mo Qiu was just kidding. He wouldn’t kill Fo Zi. As he told Luo Jianqing, he had never and would never kill anyone. Meanwhile, Fo Zi didn’t resent Fiend Cultivation. Otherwise, he would have killed Yun Xiang at the lodge when he first saw her instead of keeping her alive.
Anyway, it was a pleasant surprise for Luo Jianqing to meet Mo Qiu here, but he was still longing to return to Tai Hua mountain.
Suddenly, Mo Qiu said, I didn’t expect that you would come to Yun State for me. I’m surprised and flattered.”
“Come Yun Sate for you?” Luo Jianqing said subconsciously.
Mo Qiu nodded confidently, “Yes. Before I left Tai Hua Mountain, I told you that I would go to Yun State to deal with something, remember?” As he finished, Mo Qiu’s face clouded, “God damn it, you are not here for me!”
Luo Jianqing, “…”
