CHAPTER 74: CHAPTER 74 ARE YOU GOING TO SEIZE MY OPPORTUNITY?_1

Mo City, Mo Family.

Mo Zhan frowned, looking at the letter in his hand with a bizarre expression, and then glanced at the Mo Family disciple who hardly dared to breathe. He then forcefully suppressed the urge to complain and said in a low voice, "So you’re saying that the Second Elder and Sixth Elder of the Sword Sect inexplicably went to burn our ancestral tomb?"

"And then they went inside?"

The Mo Family disciple nodded vigorously, and then, struggling to hold back laughter that was about to burst out, spoke again, "Family Head, I can guarantee that there’s not a single word of exaggeration in this matter!"

"Now Elder Xi Qingyi and Elder Jun Wuxie’s act of great filial piety in burning the ancestral tomb is about to spread throughout the entire Twenty-One Provinces!"

"Even Wuhua Palace and Yuan Da Yuan are considering making their punishment public at the sect’s recruitment assembly!"

"..."

Mo Zhan narrowed his eyes and then pointed to a sentence in the letter and asked, "This part of your letter, which mentions the Fifth Elder of the Sword Sect, Su Bei, arriving like a deity descending from the heavens, shouldering the entire sky, forging the tomb with fire, and eventually channeling the will of the heavens to burn out the Sword Sect’s treasure, the Qingping Sword..."

"What does this mean?"

Upon hearing these words, the Mo Family disciple felt an indescribable sense of pride welling up, eyes brimming with tears as he said, "It was Elder Su!"

"Elder Su pulled out the Qingping Sword and even shouted out the magnificent and heroic oath, ’Without me, Su Bei, the Sword Dao would forever be as dark as the eternal night!’"

"He even said something about the Heavenly Gate that I couldn’t understand!"

"..."

Mo Zhan’s face darkened as he looked at the awe-stricken Mo Family disciple, waved him away, and then sat down on the chair, exhausted, murmuring, "How could Elder Xi have gone inside?"

"Li Er still counts on him as a master..."

"Moreover, isn’t Elder Xi soon to celebrate his eight-hundredth birthday?"

"Hasn’t the Qingping Sword been lost for who knows how many hundreds of years? How did it suddenly get burned out from a tomb?"

"This is so strange!"

「At this very moment, in a room of the Mo Family.」

Mo Xiaoqiang forcefully repressed the thrill in his heart, looking at the silver-haired woman sitting quietly on the chair, her eyes closed, gently holding the sword’s handle, and said, "Sister, sister!"

"Do you know who your brother has met?"

Mo Li’s eyes opened slightly, looking at her younger brother, her voice calm, "What has got you so excited? You’re not acting mature at all. A man should..."

Perhaps accustomed to this, Mo Xiaoqiang did not wait for Mo Li to finish speaking, raising the token high in his hand and loudly exclaimed, "Sister! I met an Elder of the Sword Sect!"

"It’s very likely Elder Su!!! Su Bei, eh!"

"He and I..."

"..."

But before he could finish his sentence, Mo Li, who had been sitting steadily, suddenly stood up. Her eyes shone with an unusual light, her breathing became rapid, and she grabbed Mo Xiaoqiang’s shoulder, demanding in a cold voice, "Where is he?"

Mo Xiaoqiang, with a face full of speechlessness, looked at Mo Li, who was nearly spraying saliva on his face, and discreetly stepped back.

Who was it just now telling me to be composed?

Realizing her overly excited performance, Mo Li lightly coughed to cover her embarrassment and said in a voice as clear and cool as water, "Hmm! Tell your sister, where is this Elder Su now?"

"Where did you meet him?"

"..."

Mo Xiaoqiang clutched the token tightly in his hand, though he was somewhat baffled by his sister’s behavior. But whenever he thought of that man, his chest swelled with a boundless pride that he had nowhere to release. He imagined Su Bei’s unmatched temperament: that sword held high in proud solitude, the lofty figure one with heaven and earth. Taking a deep breath, he said, "I met Elder Su while I was bragging at the Youjia Tavern!"

"Hmm! And beside him was a woman like an immortal, with long hair flowing!"

"..."

Mo Li’s eyes narrowed as she carefully recalled what had happened in her past life.

Had Mo Xiaoqiang ever mentioned this to her in her previous life? It’s possible he did, but she wasn’t aware of who Su Bei was at the time, so maybe she didn’t pay attention? However, now that Su Bei had come to Mo City, she had no reason not to meet this scoundrel! Hmph!

At that thought, Mo Li let out a long sigh, a cold sneer forming at the corners of her mouth as she looked at Mo Xiaoqiang, who was still rambling, and said, "Take your sister to find him!"

Mo Xiaoqiang looked at Mo Li with a doubtful expression, gripping the token tightly, and said, "What are you going to do?"

"You’re not thinking of stealing my opportunity, are you?"

"This is the great opportunity Elder Su granted to me, and you can’t even think of sharing it..."

"I’ll have you know, I came here just to show off, don’t get the wrong idea..."

...

「The next day.」

The sunlight slanted through the Mo Mansion, illuminating a tree of wax plum in the flower garden, half exquisite, half crisp. It shone on Mo Xiaoqiang’s head, which was swathed in bandages.

Mo Xiaoqiang’s face was a picture of injustice, his eyes full of bitter reluctance as he waited outside Mo Li’s room. Seeing the token that originally belonged to him now hanging from Mo Li’s waist, he wiped away his runny nose and said anxiously, "Sister, hurry up! If Elder Su doesn’t see me soon, he might leave!"

"I know! Don’t rush me!"

Mo Li turned her head back and glared fiercely at Mo Xiaoqiang.

Then she continued to rummage through her room for various items, such as ’Smiling Half-Step Pills’, a dagger laced with aphrodisiacs, a small sword for protection, a pair of sharp scissors...

Finally, after bustling about for a while, Mo Li was satisfied, looking at her bulging bag, and followed behind an already impatient Mo Xiaoqiang as they left the Mo Mansion.

On the way, Mo Xiaoqiang breathed in the fresh air and felt his bad mood from the day before, when Mo Li had given him a good beating, vanish completely.

"Sister, do you know! Elder Su must be off to do great things!"

"He might just be saving the common people, undertaking a mission of punishing evil and promoting good that you and I can’t understand!"

"He came to Mo City surely for his own opportunity. Oh, you don’t understand, for an elegant young master like Elder Su, who is untainted by the common dust of the world, the opportunity must be extraordinary..."

Mo Li’s face was covered in black lines, her trembling hands barely holding back the urge to slap Mo Xiaoqiang’s mouth shut.

"Sister, do you think Elder Su might have already reached Dao Integration?"

"Ah! I really want to know what Elder Su is up to..."

Mo Xiaoqiang was in the midst of talking when he then saw a man with a familiar figure, exuding an air of content satisfaction. Followed by a throng of people, the man was walking out of a brothel, with a number of flamboyantly dressed women seeing him off.

He felt he must have been mistaken, opened his mouth tentatively, and said with some unease, "Hm! I must be seeing things; how could Elder Su, an immortal untainted by worldly dust, possibly visit a brothel?"

"Right, sister..."

Mo Xiaoqiang looked up at Mo Li, his heart skipping a beat the next moment.

He had never seen his sister with such an expression!

Her three thousand strands of silver hair danced wildly in the wind, her eyes so cold, filled with countless indescribable emotions.

Chilling to the core!
