"Grandfather, great uncle..." Seeing the three of them, Bai Xuan subconsciously saluted and greeted him. However, when she saw Mo Juren, she was stunned for a moment, and then she immediately reacted.
"Junior Brother Mo, you are back!"
Bai Xuan was obviously a little surprised as she hadn't seen her friend for many years and blurted out the words without thinking.
Mo Juren didn't pay attention to anything and responded with a smile and nod.
"Xuan'er must not be rude. From now on, you should call Fellow Daoist Mo Senior." It was Elder Wang who spoke. There was no rebuke in his tone, but more of a deliberate reminder.
"Senior?" Bai Xuan was startled, why did he suddenly become a generation older? However, it was still the ice-smart Senior Sister Bai who thought of something almost instantly.
When he looked at Mo Juren again, he realized that he couldn't tell the other person's cultivation level at all. Moreover, his grandfather and uncle were standing together with each other, as if they were equals.
At this point, she still doesn't understand that the other party has most likely broken through to the core formation stage.
There were rumors back then that the other party was traveling around looking for opportunities to form pills. Fast forward a few decades and he actually succeeded.
"Mo...Senior Mo..." Bai Xuan was obviously still a little uncomfortable and stuttered when she spoke. This is normal, anyone would be confused for a while.
"Senior sister, there is no need to be so outspoken. Let's just keep the previous title, which is more cordial." If it were anyone else, Mo Juren would naturally not say anything and would just accept it happily.
However, Wang Ping and Bai Xuan are both his friends for many years. Wouldn't it be alienating to call them like this? It's not worth losing years of friendship because of a useless call.
"How can this be done?" Elder Wang wanted to say more, but was interrupted by Mo Juren raising his hand,
"Practitioners don't care what the customary rituals are, let them do their own thing."
"Since junior brother said so, then, okay." Since the other party insisted, Elder Wang said nothing more. If you are inferior, just be inferior. It is not an important matter anyway, and there is even a hint of secret joy in his heart.
The other party's decision obviously valued the friendship with Xuan'er and Ping'er in the past. It also proves the other person's emotional character, and only such a person is worth dating with confidence.
Mo Juren didn't care here, but unfortunately, Bai Xuan was very confused. The friend who used to be able to play and joke around suddenly became a senior, and it was impossible for anyone else to maintain a normal attitude.
"What, senior sister, are you planning to break off our relationship with me?" Mo Juren saw the other party's embarrassment and laughed directly.
"No, I just..."
"Okay, don't be just. It's just a title. What do you care about? What's more, with senior sister's qualifications, I think it won't take many years to enter the core forming stage. Will I have to change it back?"
After some enlightenment, Bai Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and realized it in her heart. What the other party said makes sense, and his qualifications are not bad. Now he has reached the late stage of foundation building. It will only be a matter of time before he breaks through to core formation. Why belittle yourself so much.
What's more, she also cherishes the friendship between the two parties, and it would be great if they can continue to get along as friends.
She suddenly thought of her husband Wang Ping, who must inform him of the news later. She would definitely be shocked.
Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth raised slightly involuntarily.
"Senior Sister, did you think of something beautiful? Are you so happy? Could it be Senior Brother Wang?" Naturally, Mo Juren saw this scene and couldn't help but joked with a smile.
"No!" Bai Xuan, who had figured everything out, regained her composure again, and couldn't help but roll her eyes at the other person, secretly thinking in her heart that although she had become a monk in the pill formation stage, she was still the same Junior Brother Mo who liked to tease others.
"Grandfather, uncle and Mo... Junior Brother Mo, please come with me."
The three of them followed Bai Xuan into the passage, including Qi Yunxiao and others who were already following behind.
The distance of the passage is not long, and it only takes a few feet to reach the end. The next moment, the eyes suddenly open up, and what comes into view is a natural valley, with an extremely exquisite small garden built in the center.
Obviously due to frequent maintenance, the scenery here is more pleasant, and unlike the outside, the gardens are planted with rare flowers and plants in the mortal world.
Mo Juren has been here many times before and is very familiar with this place, especially the small garden here, which is Elder Gu Ying's favorite.
Although the other party usually looks as cold as a fairy, he also has his own little hobby. He is extremely obsessed with planting flowers and plants, and has even gone to the mundane world many times to look for them.
The flowers and plants in front of me were all transplanted and cultivated by the other party.
After walking through the garden for some distance, everyone finally came to a cave.
Mo Juren's expression changed, and he suddenly whispered to Bai Xuan beside him. After hearing this, the latter looked directly at Qi Yunxiao and the others not far behind him, especially Feng Yue. When he saw each other, his clear eyes revealed an undisguised coldness.
She and Xin Ruyin have a very good relationship. They treat each other like sisters when they meet each other, and they are naturally aware of some things that have happened recently. Therefore, even Qi Yunxiao didn't want to see him. Even though he saw him just now, he didn't even bother to say hello.
She just didn't expect that there were such twists and turns in it. Although she now knew that Feng Yue was forced, it still disgusted her. As for the three masters and servants of Yang Xiong, they didn't even bother to take a look.
"Let them stay here for the time being. There are no outsiders anyway, so it's very safe." Bai Xuan replied directly without thinking.
"Okay." Mo Juren originally wanted Bai Xuan to help him settle down temporarily, but now it seems that the other party obviously doesn't want to see these people. The environment here is simply good, so it doesn't matter if a few people stay here.
He waved to Qi Yunxiao behind him, and when the latter approached, he immediately said,
"You stay here and watch them first. In addition, you also think about how to deal with Feng Yue's matter?"
"I..." After hearing this, Qi Yunxiao couldn't help but be startled. To be honest, he really didn't know how to deal with it?
killed? He really couldn't do it.
If you don’t kill, just let it go? Will Yin'er misunderstand that he has unresolved feelings?
He, who had always been a bit indecisive, suddenly had a headache.
"Don't worry, think about it slowly. As for the Feng family, you don't have to worry about it. Just do whatever you want." Mo Juren probably guessed what the other party was thinking and couldn't help but sigh. However, this is the other person's private matter, and it is not easy for him to make decisions for others.
Without further delay, the three of them followed Bai Xuan directly into the cave.
Inside is a hall, which is very large and carefully decorated. The owner of the cave, Gu Ying, was sitting on the main seat at the moment, looking as elegant as ever and as cold as ice.
Seeing the three of them at this moment, a rare faint smile appeared on the stunning jade face, and she raised her delicate hand slightly and said:
"Senior brother Wang, uncle, and junior brother Mo, welcome to my humble home. Xuan'er, go and get the Chixialu that our master has collected."
"Disciple, go now..." Bai Xuan bowed slightly and then walked towards the back of the hall.
"Chixialu, is that the ancient tea tree discovered by the Tiantong Merchant Alliance many years ago? Could it be that it was cultivated and survived, and spiritual tea grew?" Wang Chengfeng obviously knew something and asked in surprise.
"My Iceberg Beauty Wife"
"It was successful half a year ago and appeared in the auction held in Yuanwu Kingdom." Gu Ying nodded slightly and continued,
"I happened to be returning from Lingfeng Country at that time, and I visited Sister Qing when I passed by Jiqing Sect. I attended the auction by the way, and I was lucky enough to win one of them."
"I knew it..." Wang Chengfeng couldn't help showing an annoyed look and continued,
"Wang also got the news after the fact. Unfortunately, if he had been there, he would have tried his best to capture them all."
"I'm afraid it won't work." Gu Ying smiled slightly and explained,
"There were many Nascent Soul powerhouses among the monks who participated in the auction, and they all took action when faced with ancient spiritual tea like Chixialu. If I hadn't met Sister Liaoqing and received her help, I wouldn't have been able to successfully auction it in the end. Get one of these.”
"That's it..." After hearing this, Wang Chengfeng couldn't help but smile awkwardly. If the auction was really of that scale, he would really be nothing as a mid-stage alchemy monk.
"Are you in love?" Hearing this name again, Mo Juren's heart moved, but he just sat there quietly without making a sound and continued to listen to the conversation between the others.
"It was really surprising that Ying'er could unexpectedly become close friends with Master Ling Qing. However, now that Ji Qing Sect has chosen to join our sect, we are a family. We still need to consolidate this hard-won friendship in the future. It will be of great benefit to you and the Gu family." Gu Xing obviously thought of another level and said directly.
"Don't worry, uncle, I know what's going on." Although the other party's words were more realistic, they were understandable. After all, he is the ancestor of the Gu family, and he will stand from the family's point of view when considering issues.
Although Gu Ying has a cold temperament, she knows very well what her family means to her, so she naturally attaches great importance to it.
Speaking of which, she and Liaoqing Zhenren were originally incompatible with each other, and it was impossible for them to have too much contact because of the gap in their realms.
Unexpectedly, he was accidentally injured while performing a mission twenty years ago, and he happened to be rescued by the other party. After that, he trained in the Jiqing Sect for a period of time.
It was a coincidence that when the two sides occasionally chatted, they became particularly angry, and the latter even admired her unusually. Over time, the two women, who were originally a generation apart, formed a deep friendship.
Mentioning Qing Zhenren, Gu Ying seemed to suddenly think of something. She turned to look at Mo Juren who was silent and said again,
"Master Liaoqing seems to be very interested in Junior Brother Mo. He has asked me about you more than once."
"Really..." Mo Juren's eyes flashed slightly, but his expression was unusually calm as he said,
"We had some interactions in the past, but at that time I was just a little-known low-level monk. I never thought that I would still be remembered by Master Luoqing. I am not honored."
