Ye Mo stabilized himself after withstanding the force from Madame Xiao and was quite upset by the irritating words from a member of the Xiao Clan. n.o.body would feel comfortable after hearing such accusations. Ye Mo had only tried to help Xiao Yue, but Madame Xiao thought he did so for greedy purposes.
“Madame Xiao, what are you talking about?” Ye Mo asked with a deep voice.
“Nothing at all,” Madame Xiao said with a cold expression. “The value of a Magic Weapon is precious even in Tianyong City, but you gave it to my daughter without a second thought. If you don’t have a scheme against my daughter, the only explanation is that you just want to get close to her and scheme against the Xiao Clan.”
“Haha. So that’s how Madame Xiao views Ye Mo. Because I’m getting close to Xiao Yue, I am a schemer and want to act against her,” Ye Mo sneered.
“I have also heard you are a traitor from the Ye Clan. A clan traitor is never good. Perhaps you are a spy sent by the Ye Clan,” Madame Xiao continued.
“Mother, please stop. Ye Mo is not what you think he is,” Xiao Yue urgently explained, then looked at Ye Mo with embarra.s.sment and remorse.
“Xiao Yue, you are still young and don’t know how evil a person can be. When I was age, I was once tricked by a man like Ye Mo,” Madame Xiao explained with patience.
“Madame Xiao, what are you planning to do with me now?” Ye Mo showed a bitter smile. He could have stayed in the Xiao Clan peacefully. After he became the champion in the Limestone Champion List compet.i.tion, he would leave Limestone City and never return.
“Ye Mo, let me be honest with you. The Xiao Clan has already had arranged a marriage alliance with the Barbarians. Once the compet.i.tion is over and Xiao Yue enters the Three Major Alliances, she will marry Man Tai. This is the decision I’ve made. Even if you adore Xiao Yue, you better stop thinking about it. As to everything you have done for the Xiao Clan, I will reward you accordingly,” Madame Xiao said.
When Madame Xiao mentioned the marriage arranagement, Xiao Yue’s eyes showed a glimpse of sadness.
( Boxno vel. co m ) “Reward?” Ye Mo sneered. “I gave High Grade Magic Weapons to both Yue Yue and Leng Leng. Do you think I care about your reward?”
“Another High Grade Magic Weapon? Why does Ye Mo have so many High Grade Magic Weapon?”
Xiao Yuanshan exclaimed. There was only one High Grade Magic Weapon in Limestone City, which was Xiao Yue’s Azure Light Sword. Now there was another High Grade Magic Weapon, and Ye Mo had given it up to Leng Leng.
“Madame Xiao, Ye Mo did give a High Grade Magic Weapon to the daughter of the Leng Clan, so it seems to me he has no bad intention against the Xiao Clan.” Xiao Feng said with respect.
“I can’t believe you are such a greedy youngster and want to kill two birds with one stone. With her beauty and her profession as a sealing artist, she can match those talents in Tianyong City. Besids scheming against my daughter, you also want to harm that little girl in the Leng Clan!” Madame Xiao said.
“Haha. Madame Xiao, no matter what you think of me, I will respect you as the mother of Xiao Yue. Xiao Yue is my first friend, and I will treasure her. After going to the Spirit Valley, even though I could not get the Yin Poison Gra.s.s, I still found another treasure. I originally intended to give it to Xiao Yue before the Limestone Champion List compet.i.tion. However, as the Xiao Clan no longer welcomes me now, I shall give it to Xiao Yue here and now,” Ye Mo said. Suddenly in a flash, a set of silver armor appeared on his hands. The silver armor glittered with s.h.i.+ning lights, like sparkling scales. “This armor is an extraordinary defense weapon. As you can see from its sparkling silver reflection, it is not an ordinary treasure.”
“Ye Mo found many treasures in the Spirit Valley. He also seems to have a Dimensional Bracelet as well. Did he obtain a Dimensional Bracelet left by an ace in the Spirit Valley?” Madame Xiao was shocked as well when she saw the armour. Even with her vast knowledge, she did not recgonzie the silver armor.
Ye Mo giving that treasure to Xiao Yue was like a slap to Madame Xiao’s face.
Ye Mo walked to Xiao Yue and said, “It is inconvenient for me to tell you its name, but please keep it for me. The defense and grade of the armour will increase in accordance with your strength. I hope it can keep you safe while I am not around.” Ye Mo explained as if it was nothing, but the people around him were more than shocked. How extraordinary it was that the grade of an armor would increase according to your strength. Even a Spirit Weapon may not be that extraordinary. How could Ye Mo give this armor to others without second thought?
Xiao Yue held her mask with both hands, mouth slightly ajar. She had never thought Ye Mo would give her such a precious treasure.
“Why are you being so kind to me?” Xiao Yue was touched and her eyes blurred.
“You were the first friend I ever had. Since you were kind to me, I will return your kindness for my entire life. Even though Madame Xiao dislikes me, we are still good friends,” Ye Mo said, and then left without any hesitation.
The Ye Clan, the Xiao Clan, Qi Ying, and every incident since then taught him a lesson: You could only get what you want through strength. Only great strength would allow you not to be looked down upon. He had no clan support, so he could only rely on himself.
When Ye Mo left the conference hall, Xiao Yue attempted to chase after him, but was blocked by a large wall of icy blue Yuanli.
“Xiao Yue, I agreed to the proposal from the Barbarians not because I was fond of vanity. The Barbarians have the Cocytus Silkworm that can cure the poison Magic Seal on you. We could not expect to get the Yin Poison Pills anymore, so only the Cocytus Silkworm can save your life now. The Barbarians will be furious if you get too close with a young man of another clan. If your poison Magic Seal exploded, the whole Limestone City would be devastated,” Madame Xiao said.
Xiao Yue stopped, turned to Madame Xiao, and cried, “You could have just told Ye Mo about it. Why did you hurt him like that? Do you know how much he had gone through since he was a child?”
“Xiao Yue, reality is harsh. He may be an orphan. So what? Tianwu Kingdom is large, and there is one orphan among every ten men. They are not scarce, so they are not worthy of your sympathy.”
Madame Xiao sighed. “Xiao Yue, I know Ye Mo truly likes you. But the more he likes you, the cruller the reality is to him. If you did not have the poison Magic Seal, I might have approved of your relations.h.i.+p with me.”
Ye Mo treaded slowly, but he did not walk too far away. Ling Er heard the whole conversation between Xiao Yue and Madame Xiao, who then told Ye Mo everything.
“Poison Magic Seal? The Barbarians?” Ye Mo sneered. Man Thai was already dead to him. Also, as the Barbarians had offended Qi Ying, according to her personality, she might issue an Order of Genocide on them.
