Chapter 214 He kept shedding tears of blood, looking at Brother Xiao

Xiao Mo settled down in Weiwei's house.

Originally, Xiao Mo didn't want to live in Mrs. Wang's house.

After all, she is a widow, and it is indeed a bit unreasonable for a man like me to live in her house.

But listening to Xiao Mo's refusal, Mrs. Wang just smiled and said:

"Since my husband passed away, I've been the subject of countless rumors. Even if I do nothing, there will always be people pointing fingers at me behind my back. I've gotten used to it.

But those who know know themselves.

As long as I have no regrets in my heart, that's all that matters."

Listening to Madam Wang's words and seeing her calm expression, Xiao Mo naturally stopped being pretentious and settled down in the yard, waiting for the monks from Maple Leaf City to arrive.

During the two days that he stayed in Madam Wang's courtyard, Xiao Mo meditated on his sword in the courtyard every day.

Because Mrs. Wang refused to accept the money Xiao Mo gave her, Xiao Mo would also help Mrs. Wang chop firewood and fetch water.

Sometimes Xiao Mo even teaches Ning Wei to read.

It was during these two days that Mrs. Ning paid close attention to Xiao Mo's every move, wanting to know more about Xiao Mo's character.

In the end, Mrs. Wang still felt that this young man did not look like a member of the Demon Sect, but more like a scholar.

Day 3, early morning.

Just when Xiao Mo and Madam Wang and her daughter had finished breakfast, they heard voices of conversation coming from outside the yard.

"Master Qian, please don't be angry. My sister-in-law has long hair but short knowledge. If I say it a few more times, she will definitely agree to let Ning Wei join your clan."

"After all, that's the Wangchuan Sect, a place many people dream of visiting."

"Look at you like this, don't worry, I'm just going to have a good talk with Madam Wang, I won't do anything to them."

"That's right, you are a magnanimous person and you won't bother with poor people like us."

After talking for a while, they walked to the gate of the courtyard.

Ning Fugui pushed open the gate and everyone walked into the yard.

Ning Wei's small body was startled and she subconsciously hid behind Brother Xiao.

"Wang Qian, the city lord is here, why don't you come over and pay your respects?" Wang Fugui shouted to his sister-in-law.

Madam Wang clasped her hands, stepped forward, and faced the group, bowing gracefully. "I pay my respects to the Lord City Lord."

"You're too polite, Madam Wang." Qian Zhenhao smiled. "I've long heard that Madam Wang is very beautiful. Seeing her today, I can see that her reputation is well-deserved."

"Your Excellency the City Lord is too kind. I am just a country girl, and I don't have any beauty." Wang Qian nodded.

"Huh?" Soon, Wang Fugui saw Xiao Mo and asked in surprise, "Why are you still here?"

Qian Zhenhao also looked over and found a man staring at him.

Qian Zhenhao looked at the man, and the more he looked, the more familiar he felt.

When Qian Zhenhao saw a faint scar between Xiao Mo's eyebrows, he was even more stunned.

When I was a child, my brothers and I went to steal buns to eat and were chased and beaten. My fifth brother's eyebrow was cut.

"Fifth brother? Is that you?" Qian Zhenhao was extremely happy, as if he had seen a relative.

"Fourth brother?"

But compared to Qian Zhenhao's excited expression, Xiao Mo looked much calmer.

"Hahahaha. Fifth brother, it really is you!" Qian Zhenhao stepped forward and took Xiao Mo's wrist. "I never thought that you and I, brothers, would meet in this place after eight years!"

"I really didn't expect it." Xiao Mo also smiled, but a hint of loneliness flashed in his eyes. "When I heard that the mayor of Maple Leaf City had the same name as Fourth Brother, I guessed it might be Fourth Brother. I didn't expect it to be Fourth Brother. Didn't you guys go to the Black Dragon Sect?"

"It's a long story."

Qian Zhenhao smiled bitterly.

"We did find the Black Dragon Sect at that time and participated in the Black Dragon Sect's initiation selection, but your third brother and I didn't pass. Fortunately, the Wangchuan Sect took us in."

"What about the third brother?" Xiao Mo asked again.

"Alas, one time, your third brother went out to hunt monsters, but he had an accident and never came back." Qian Zhenhao said with a bitter look on his face, his tone low, "It's all my fault. If I had advised him back then, he wouldn't have gotten into trouble."

Listening to Qian Zhenhao's words, Xiao Mo's calm face revealed a genuine sadness, but he still comforted Qian Zhenhao: "Fourth brother, there is no need to blame yourself. The path of cultivation is like this. I believe that Third Brother will definitely not blame you, Fourth Brother."

"That's right, we should really keep moving forward and carry on with Third Brother's share!"

Qian Zhenhao took a deep breath and adjusted his mood.

"Let's not talk about me anymore. How has my fifth brother been doing these years? I didn't expect that he has become a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage now."

"After you guys left, I also met a cultivator. She accepted me as her disciple, so I can be considered to have embarked on the path of cultivation. However, I am not as good as you. Your aura now seems to be that of a cave dwelling, right?"

"Hahahaha, he's only in the middle stage of the Cave Residence Realm. Good luck, good luck." Qian Zhenhao looked very proud. "But why did Fifth Brother come to Maple Leaf City and live here?"

"I'm just a casual cultivator, traveling around. It happened to be dark then, and Madam Wang allowed me to stay for a few days, so I stayed. But Fourth Brother."

Xiao Mo looked straight into Qian Zhenhao's eyes.

"I heard from Madam Wang that the Wangchuan Sect has always wanted to take Ning Wei to practice, but Madam Wang only wants to live a normal life with her daughter. I wonder if Fourth Brother could be flexible and not make things difficult for them."

"Fifth brother, that's not the case."

Qian Zhenhao glanced at the little girl behind Xiao Mo.

“In fact, our Wangchuan Sect has no bad intentions towards the mother and daughter. Our Wangchuan Sect is a legitimate sect. The rumors outside that our Wangchuan Sect is a demonic sect are actually bullshit.

We asked Ning Wei to go to Wangchuan Sect because we didn't want to bury such a good talent.

This time we came here just to have a good talk with Mrs. Wang about this matter, and we have no other intentions.

But this kid doesn't know the etiquette. He pushed the door open without waiting for me to knock, disturbing you."

After he finished speaking, Qian Zhenhao looked at Ning Fugui beside him and said, "Why don't you apologize to my fifth brother?"

"I deserve to die for disturbing you, sir. Please forgive me." Ning Fugui bowed quickly and almost knelt down.

He could never have imagined that this man would be the city lord's younger brother.

"Thank you very much for your kindness, Lord City Lord." At this moment, Madam Wang continued, "But Lord City Lord, Weiwei doesn't want to become a cultivator. We are already content with our current life. Please forgive us, Lord City Lord."

"Alright." Qian Zhenhao sighed and said regretfully, "In that case, I won't say anything. If you change your mind, feel free to contact the City Lord's Mansion."

"Thank you, Lord City Lord, thank you, Lord City Lord!" Mrs. Wang bowed and thanked him quickly.

"It's just a small matter." Qian Zhenhao seemed to be in a very good mood. "Fifth brother, you don't need to stay here for the night. How about staying in my City Lord's Mansion? Let's catch up with each other."

"Okay." Xiao Mo nodded. "Fourth brother, wait for me to pack my luggage and then say goodbye to Madam Wang."

"Okay, then I, Fourth Brother, will go to Yunliu Tower to set up the wine and wait for you, Fifth Brother."

After he finished speaking, Qian Zhenhao happily strode out of the yard.

"Mr. Xiao, you and City Lord Qian are..."

Just as the crowd walked away and disappeared into the street, Mrs. Wang hurried forward, her eyes full of confusion.

It sounds like they are long lost brothers?

However, when Master Xiao introduced his current situation, he said that he was just a casual cultivator, as if he was deliberately concealing something.

"Don't worry, ma'am."

Xiao Mo looked at Mrs. Wang's puzzled expression and knew what she was thinking about.

“This City Lord Qian is indeed my long-lost sworn brother, but this has nothing to do with Madam.

No matter what, Ning Wei doesn't have to go to Wangchuan Sect, and what I said to Madam before still counts.

Madam, please consider it carefully. I will come back in a few days to ask for your decision."

"Okay, sir. I will seriously consider it." Mrs. Wang bowed.

"Then I'll take my leave first." Xiao Mo bowed and patted Ning Wei's head. "Don't worry, big brother won't let anything happen to Maple Leaf City."

"Hmm." Ning Wei nodded palely.

Xiao Mo turned and left.

Ning Wei looked at Xiao Mo's back, her expression seemed a little conflicted.

When Xiao Mo just walked out of the courtyard, Ning Wei seemed to have made up her mind. She ran forward and gently pulled Xiao Mo's sleeve: "Brother Xiao"

"What's wrong?" Xiao Mo turned around.

"Brother Xiao"

Ning Wei bit her thin lips tightly, looking a little nervous. She leaned close to Xiao Mo's ear and whispered.

"Just now I saw a ghost. It looked to be only thirteen or fourteen years old. There was a mole at the corner of its eye and a long scar on its face. It was shedding tears of blood as it looked at you, Brother Xiao."

Xiao Mo frowned and quickly drew a portrait on the ground: "Is it like this?"

"Yes, Brother Xiao."

Ning Wei nodded repeatedly.

"He is exactly the same as the one you drew, Brother Xiao."
