Chapter 306 The Non-Existent Master
The Demon Crossing Stage is already a very high level of cultivation, only one level lower than the highest level Demon King in the Demon Realm.
It’s just that Leng Zhuxin and Jiang Baimo’s master in the Demon Realm was fabricated and shouldn’t exist.
The two were unsure of who the man claiming to be their master was, so they just agreed silently, found a safe place, removed their disguises, and headed for the city gate.
……
Outside the city gate, Mo Qingshan and an old man sat opposite each other.
Before sending the message to Leng Zhuxin and the others, he had already tested the old man several times.
But nothing was found out.
Except for the beginning when the old man introduced himself and told the city gate guard that he was the eldest daughter of their Mo family who had just been found and Mo Qingyun's master, he didn't say another word.
Every time he asked something, I pretended not to hear or just answered casually.
At this moment, she simply closed her eyes and didn't want to talk to him.
His fingers kept tapping on his knees.
Seeing that he couldn't find out anything, Mo Qingshan sent a message to Leng Zhuxin.
As soon as Leng Zhuxin's voice came over, the old man suddenly opened his eyes and came over. He thought that the old man might want to talk to his disciple, and he handed the magic scroll used for communication to the old man.
The old man did not answer, nor did he say anything. He tilted his head, sat back in his original position and closed his eyes.
Only one ear moved, obviously listening to them.
After Mo Qingshan finished communicating with Leng Zhuxin and cut off the magic slip, he glanced in the direction of the old man.
I couldn't help but think, "What a weird old man. He doesn't seem easy to get along with."
He stopped talking after that. He leaned back in the chair like the old man, closed his eyes slightly, and waited for Leng Zhuxin and the others to come over.
The auction house is on the main street of Demon King City, near the innermost area, some distance from the city gate.
Even though Leng Zhuxin and Jiang Baimo were fast, they still made Mo Qingshan and the others wait for a long time.
As soon as Leng Zhuxin reached the city gate, he saw an old man and a young man sitting opposite each other with their eyes closed.
The old man had white hair and beard, and his appearance was something she had never seen before. None of the clothes he wore or the things he carried were familiar to her.
Only the fingers that were tapping on his left knee had a rhythmic beat.
It was like the secret code she had agreed upon with Patriarch Sang, a short Morse code that no one in the world could understand.
Leng Zhuxin looked at Jiang Baimo who was following her, and secretly wrote the word "桑" (mulberry) on Jiang Baimo's hand with her finger.
Tell Jiang Baimo the old man's true identity.
Then he quickly walked to Mo Qingshan and Sang Laiyue and called softly, "Master, brother."
This sound not only made the two open their eyes, but also explained Sang Laiyue's identity to Mo Qingshan.
Sang Laiyue opened his eyes, no longer showing the indifference he had just shown towards Mo Qingshan. His face was filled with a smile, as if it had blossomed. "Xiao Yun'er! I finally found you. I don't have an identity jade token, so I wanted to sneak into the city like before.
But considering your current special status, I was afraid of bringing you trouble, so I waited outside for a while.
Are the Mo family members good to you?
If it’s not good, Master will take you away.”
Although Sang Lai Yue had long guessed that Mo Qingyun was Leng Zhuxin, he couldn't help but get excited when it was confirmed, feeling like he was meeting someone again after a long separation.
Leng Zhuxin originally came to the Demon King City under the pretext of looking for her master, and that's when she met Qin Gu, who became the eldest daughter of the Mo family.
Mo Qingshan naturally knew that she and her master had been separated for a long time, so he didn't think much about it.
He just smiled and said to Leng Zhuxin: "Sister, take your master into the city first, I will take care of the things here."
"Okay, thank you brother for your help."
Leng Zhuxin also smiled and nodded, holding Sang Laiyue's arm: "My brothers are all very kind to me. Since Master is here, you can stay at the Mo family. I haven't seen Master for a long time.
The magic crystal mine that you asked your senior brother to tell me about has been obtained, and your senior brother's injury has also healed a lot.
......"
Leng Zhuxin was like a child who had been away from home for a long time, and was chattering incessantly as if he had just met his close elders.
In fact, everything that needs to be said can be said in just a few words.
Sang Laiyue also glanced at Jiang Baimo and said, "I'm glad your brother's injury has healed. I was really worried about you guys, so I came to the Demon King City to look for you.
It’s just that those with higher cultivation levels need identity jade tokens to enter the city and use the teleportation array, which is why we were delayed on the way.”
Sang Laiyue did not turn around to look at Mo Qingshan who was walking behind them, and his tone was natural and full of kindness towards the younger generation.
Seeing how familiar Leng Zhuxin and Sang Laiyue were, Mo Qingshan's last bit of doubt about Sang Laiyue's identity was dispelled.
……
A month ago, a few days before Wan Yu was captured and brought to the Demon Realm, Patriarch Sang repaired the barrier at Xuesai City in the far north and came to the Demon Realm through the teleportation array.
It was he who destroyed the teleportation array in the Great Wilderness Mountain, so the people sent by the Demon King got nothing.
Although Patriarch Sang arrived early, he stayed in the Great Wilderness Mountain for a while in order to better disguise his identity as a cultivator in the Demon Realm.
After making sure that the demons could not discover that he was a cultivator, he came out of the Great Wilderness Mountain and headed all the way to the Demon King's City.
He didn't know where Leng Zhuxin and Jiang Baimo were now, and he couldn't contact them.
Fortunately, when Leng Zhuxin fell into the demon world, he used the name Leng Qingyun, and when he was recognized and returned to the Mo family, he only changed his surname.
Because the time when Leng Zhuxin was recognized and taken back to the Mo family was only a few days away from the time when Leng Zhuxin fell into the demon world, Patriarch Sang began to speculate about Leng Zhuxin's identity in the demon world.
However, he had no identity card and no noble to guarantee him, so he could not take the teleportation array and could only slowly head towards the Demon King's City.
On the way, I heard rumors that the eldest daughter of the Mo family, Mo Qingyun, had a mysterious identity and was very talented. Her senior brother was also a dragon among men, but he was already in the Demon Infant Stage in his twenties. Her master must be extraordinary.
Because of this rumor, Sang Laiyue came to the Demon King's City as Leng Zhuxin's master.
As for Leng Zhuxin's senior brother Lu Jiu, Sang Lai Yue had already guessed that it should be Jiang Baimo who came before him.
They are all one of us, so he is not afraid of his identity being exposed.
But he was still somewhat afraid that all this was just a coincidence, and that Mo Qingyun and Lu Jiu were not Leng Zhuxin and Jiang Baimo, so he did not rush into the city rashly.
Instead, he asked someone to find the Mo family outside the city.
In this way, if his guess was wrong, he could escape in time outside the city.
He ignored Mo Qingshan not because he had a bad temper, but because he was afraid that if he said too much, he would make mistakes and arouse Mo Qingshan's suspicion.
He saw clearly that although Mo Qingshan looked young and had no airs or ill intentions, he was a smart man.
At this time, he recognized Leng Zhuxin and Jiang Baimo, and dispelled Mo Qingshan's suspicion of him. Ancestor Sang's attitude towards Mo Qingshan also improved a lot.
He took the initiative to say a few words to Mo Qingshan, "My two apprentices have caused trouble to your Mo family. This time I came to see how Xiao Yun'er and the others are doing in the Mo family.
If it's not good, I will take them away.
Xiao Yuner has suffered a lot over the years. If she still suffers when she returns to her home, then this family will not be a good place for her.
I don't know how you treat Xiao Yun'er outside the city gate, so I don't want to have much contact with you.
I hope Qingshan will forgive me."
Patriarch Sang spoke to Mo Qingshan without any airs, completely different from the old man outside the city gate who had a weird temper in Mo Qingshan's eyes.
Mo Qingshan was somewhat flattered that an elder in the Demon Crossing Stage spoke to him in this way, and he was also the master of his younger sister whom he swore to always dote on. He quickly bowed.
"Senior, your words are too serious. What I said just now outside the city was also very tempting to you. I would like to apologize to you here. I hope you don't mind."
"I don't mind. What's there to mind? You tested me because you were afraid my identity was fake. It was also for Xiao Yun'er and for the good of your Mo family. I understand."
Patriarch Sang waved his hand at Mo Qingshan nonchalantly, and indeed his face showed no sign of mind at all.
In just a short while of talking, they had already arrived at the door of the Mo family.
Mo Qingshan had already sent a message to the mansion when he confirmed Sang Laiyue's identity, and Mo's father and the Mo family were already waiting at the door.
Even Grandpa Mo and Grandma Mo were there.
