Wei Ting was not frightened by his words. There was no change in his eyes as he looked at him calmly. “Is that so?”
MO Guiyuan smiled. “This meeting was very sudden. I understand that it’s difficult for you to adapt. If you hadn’t discovered me, I had planned to meet you later. Perhaps at that time, we would have been prepared to accept each other’s ident.i.ties.’
Wei Ting said, “You’re quite confident.”
There was no doubt that he smiled and said, “You don’t look like me. You look like the young Lord Wu An. Although I don’t like him, no matter what, you have my blood flowing in your body. I won’t do anything to you.”
Wei Ting mocked, “Then should I be grateful to you? After killing my grandfather and father, you spared my life?” At this point, MO Guiyuan frowned.
Wei Ting was not easy to fool.
Between quibbling and confessing, MO Guiyuan chose the latter. “Everything happened for a reason back then. Moreover, the deaths of your brothers were not my intention. They are my grandchildren, so I won’t touch them no matter what. I will avenge my grandsons’ deaths one day.”
Wei Ting said mercilessly, “Aren’t you the one who’s stupid? You schemed against a tiger and fell into its trap? Our brothers died because of you. You couldn’t accept it, so you pushed everything to Northern Yan. If you really want to seek vengeance, why don’t you apologize with your death first?”
These words could be said to be unfillial. There was probably no grandson in the world who dared to be so disrespectful to his grandfather.
However, Wei Ting was not an ordinary person. He was usually not human.
Moreover, it was MO Guiyuan who was inhumane first.
MO Guiyuan took a deep look at Wei Ting and smiled helplessly. “Alright, alright, alright. I understand that you have resentment in your heart. You’ve never seen me and don’t have much feelings for me. If you had grown up by my side, you might not have thought so. I understand your feelings, but no one can change what’s in the past. One can only look forward. You’re my only grandson. I believe I don’t have to say much about what this means. Listen to Grandpa obediently. Everything in Grandpa’s life will be yours in the future.”
Wei Ting felt nauseous when he heard this, but his expression was still calm.
MO Guiyuan continued, “Moreover, the Wei family isn’t having a good time in the capital, right? The Wei family supported Prince Nanyang back then. This has always been a thorn in Prince Ruyang’s heart. He has been on the throne for 17 years and has never let down his guard against the Wei family. After your grandfather and father died in battle, he took the opportunity to take back the Wei family’s military power. If he finds out that you’re the grandson of the White Lotus Society’s Sect Master, what do you think he will do? Can he still tolerate you and the Wei family?”
“Wei Xichao, you have no choice.”
Wei Ting was not moved at all. “Are all cult masters so good at coercion and bribery?”
MO Guiyuan smiled and said, “I’m using my emotions and good intentions to reason with you. I’m doing this for your own good. You don’t have to be in a hurry to give me an answer. Go back and think about it. Come and look for me after you figure it out.”
Wei Ting moved his thumb and pulled out a portion of the sword.
A shadow flashed out of the exit, swept past MO Guiyuan, and slashed at Wei Ting!
Wei Ting pulled out his sword and welcomed his attack.
The other party’s saber was blocked and he hurriedly used a second strike. His saber was filled with killing intent.
“Stop!”
MO Guiyuan shouted.
He put away his knife and flashed back to MO Guiyuan’s side.
Wei Ting glanced at the person. He was wearing a gray cloak and looked to be in his thirties. There was a tattoo on his chin.
MO Guiyuan said to him, “Slave Xiu, he’s my grandson. Don’t hurt him.”
The man called Slave Xiu agreed expressionlessly. “Yes.”
Wei Ting sheathed his sword.
MO Guiyuan looked at Wei Ting again with a smile in his eyes. “You’re the first person to fight Slave Xiu to a draw. I’m very surprised.”
Wei Ting had sensed a powerful existence just now and drew his sword to test it. He did not expect the other party to really attack.
This person’s martial arts were unfathomable. If he wanted to kill MO Guiyuan, he had to end him first.
MO Guiyuan said with a pleasant expression, “Go back and consider my words carefully. To show my sincerity, I’ll send these two people off.”
As he spoke, he pressed his hand down calmly.
Two men with black cloth over their heads and trussed up were pushed out by the White Lotus Society.
They were Jing Yi’s subordinates, Qing Xuan and Wu Mu.
MO Guiyuan smiled faintly. “The rest will depend on their luck.”
Wei Ting left with Qing Xuan and Wu Mu.
A White Lotus Sect disciple walked forward. “Sect Master, are we letting them go just like that?”
MO Guiyuan sneered. “Otherwise, do you really want to capture my grandson?”
The disciple hurriedly cupped his hands and bowed. “That’s not what I meant. I just feel that… Young Sect Master doesn’t seem to appreciate it.”
“Young Sect Master… This t.i.tle is not bad…” MO Guiyuan looked at Wei Ting’s departing back.” He will understand. If he really can’t, I will help him understand. Everything… is under my control.
“Sect Master is wise!”
This disciple was one of MO Guiyuan’s close disciples and was called Zhang Feng.
“How are the three from the Leng family?” MO Guiyuan asked.
Zhang Feng said, “They were forced into the miasma forest in the north by the mechanism. It’s been a few hours. I’m afraid they’ve already died inside.”
MO Guiyuan said calmly, “They brought it on themselves.”
“Sect Master!”
Another White Lotus Society disciple rushed over from the exit. “Someone has gone out of the miasma forest in the north!”
Zhang Feng frowned and said, “How can anyone get out of the Northern Forest alive? Is there a mistake?”
The northern forest was the most miasma-filled and thickest forest. Even the medicine of the Imperial Astronomers was helpless. The disciple said, “They’re really… really out…”
“How many came out?” MO Guiyuan asked.
The disciple said, “Three! They… have a strange mask… They don’t seem to be afraid of the miasma…”
“Oh? Interesting.” MO Guiyuan was a control freak. He did not like the feeling of things getting out of control. “Forget it, it’s just a small matter.”
He did not take it to heart.
However, soon, he welcomed a second loss of control—the escaped poisonous creature could not be caught. It was useless to lure it with its favorite poison.
It had to be known that that thing had been planted with a poison sac. If it was not fed poison, it would be tortured to the point of being unable to take it. It had escaped in the past. In the end, there was no need for them to capture it. It returned alive.
Zhang Feng said to his junior brothers, “Go and investigate what’s going on.” ‘l’ne Jumor brotners went.
Not long after, they returned to report. “It seems… to have been done by Young Sect Master and the others…
Zhang Feng frowned and said, “What did they do to stop the poison from controlling the creature?”
The disciples shook their heads. “I’m not sure.”
MO Guiyuan sat in the room and touched the jade thumb ring on his left thumb. He took a sip of tea. “It’s just a poisonous creature. If it’s gone, so be it…
It’s not a big deal.”
As long as the gold mountain was there, he could buy everything back..
