How can we tolerate this?
The man's expression changed drastically the moment he saw Mo Zuili.
After transmigrating into the book and settling down at Medicine King Mountain, the first thing Mo Zuili did was write down all the important plot points and characters from the novel and memorize them repeatedly.
Because of the way she had just called her "cousin" and the person's clothes, a name popped into Mo Zuili's mind—Mo Zizhen.
Mo Zuili sized up Mo Zizhen, who was walking in the middle of the three.
His long, ink-black hair was loosely tied up with a white jade crown, and his almond-shaped eyes were framed beneath his willow-leaf eyebrows. He wore a plain white robe and waved a blue folding fan. From afar, he truly looked like a refined and elegant young master from a prominent family.
Mo Zuili looked the person up and down, then her gaze fell on the blue folding fan again, and she couldn't help but click her tongue.
At this moment, the spring sun was shining obliquely through the carved window lattice onto the blue brick floor, the indoor temperature was pleasant, and the daffodils on the windowsill were in full bloom.
Not to mention that the other party is at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, and can already regulate body temperature with spiritual power. Not to mention the warm spring sun, even walking barefoot in the snow in the twelfth lunar month will not make him feel cold.
The swordsman didn't hold a sword, but instead gently waved a paper fan.
Pack.
While reading the novel, Mo Zuili felt that this person was pretentious.
Mo Zizhen, as Zi Tui's cousin, was deeply obsessed with the position of "Young Master of the Mo Family," and almost caused Zi Tui's death because of it.
In the novel, after Zi Tui returned to the Mo family after Shen Ling became possessed by a demon, Mo Zi Zhen began to make constant underhanded moves.
First, he instructed his subordinates to spread rumors, and then he secretly instigated competitive people among his peers to make things difficult for Zitui, deliberately bringing up Mo Yuan's preference for Zitui to intensify the conflict.
They repeatedly orchestrated conflicts, attempting to seize leverage to force him to relinquish his position as young master.
Later, after Mo Zizhen learned that Mo Yuan had given two spots to enter the Immortal Valley to Zi Tui and Chu Qing, he completely stopped acting, fearing that Zi Tui would find a way to return to his peak after entering the Immortal Valley and then take revenge on him.
Before Zitui entered the Immortal Valley, he secretly cast a curse, hoping that Zitui would die silently inside the Immortal Valley.
However, after being pushed into the valley, she encountered the male protagonist, Shen Ling, and was discovered in time to break the curse.
But whether the curse is lifted or not makes little difference; in any case, according to the novel's plot, Zitui ultimately died in the Immortal Valley.
The thought of her own favorite character being killed off by a dog-like author made Mo Zuili feel uncomfortable.
Especially seeing that Mo Zizhen had recovered from the initial shock and his face showed a worried look of "it's for your own good," she asked with concern, "Have you recovered from your injury yesterday and returned to the Mo family? Have you damaged any meridians? Ever since your cultivation level regressed, your body has been weak. Now you have to deal with troublesome outsiders and bear the expectations of your clansmen..."
As Mo Zizhen spoke, his voice gradually weakened, as if afraid of bothering Mo Zuili, and he swallowed back his earnest admonitions that were worth a thousand words.
Mo Zuili crossed her arms and stared silently into Mo Zizhen's dark eyes.
Feeling intimidated by the stares, Mo Zizhen quickly unfolded his folding fan, covered his mouth, glanced at the two people beside him, and coughed apologetically, saying, "There are always some short-sighted people in the clan who don't understand the suffering you endured while you were ill, as the young master, you had to force yourself to stay strong."
"Don't take those nonsense words to heart, cousin. You're at the Qi Refining stage now, and they're just worried about the future of the Mo family..." He left half of his sentence for Mo Zuili to think about.
Mo Zi really thought that tea talk could anger Mo Zuili, but Mo Zuili only had one thought in her mind: a pretentious green tea flower and white lotus.
Mo Zuili made up her mind.
No wonder they don't even consider this kind of trash a threat.
Seeing Mo Zuili remain silent, Mo Zizhen believed he had gained the upper hand in this verbal exchange and said even more enthusiastically, "Cousin, you don't need to worry too much. Although you can't become an apprentice, you can still return to the Mo family."
"Ever since you were poisoned and your cultivation regressed, you've kept yourself cooped up in your room all day. We rarely see each other. Your uncle allowed you to come to the Martial Arts Pavilion today; is there anything you'd like to choose? I happen to be helping those two choose magical artifacts."
Mo Zuili's gaze followed Mo Zizhen's as she looked at the two who had just been flattering her, her expression indescribable.
It's so sad that I'm related to this kind of person.
But Mozi didn't notice Mo Zuili's expression. He said these things not only to provoke Mo Zuili, but also to set the stage for showing off.
“My cousin might not recognize them. They weren’t with the main family before. They were implicated in Mo Yue’s demonic possession a couple of months ago, and I only brought them to the main family a few days ago. They don’t have their own natal magic weapon yet, so I brought them to the Martial Arts Pavilion to choose one.”
Mo Zizhen looked smug, thinking: Who else could be the one to bring a criminal from a collateral branch to the Martial Arts Pavilion to choose a magical artifact? The elders must be fed up with Mo Zuili and have long wanted to support me to take over.
But Mo Zuili didn't taste it at all.
His eyes darted around as he assessed the chances of successfully eliminating the threat here.
If Mozi had been kept alive, he would have been a menace. In the novel, the author was so busy finding the "antidote" for Nirvana Fire to restore his cultivation that he neglected this person, which led to him being cursed and ambushed.
Mo Zuili has no intention of guarding against villains; villains are impossible to guard against.
Having transmigrated into a cultivation world where the strong prey on the weak, Mo Zuili decided to abide by the rules of this world.
"Junior sister, I've made my choice."
Shen Ling walked out from the depths of the pavilion, smiling and waving to Mo Zuili, who turned around with a look of surprise.
Mo Zuili hadn't even finished conceiving a plan to strike first and eliminate the threat completely when she saw Shen Ling and exclaimed in surprise, "Senior Brother, you've already made your choice?"
She remembered that in the novel, Shen Lingke stayed in the Martial Arts Pavilion for almost a day before choosing the Rebellious Blade.
Who are you!?
Mo Zizhen's voice was displeased, and he said sternly, "Cousin, who is this person? This is a sacred place of the Mo family. Only the main family line and elders are allowed to come here. It is strictly forbidden for outsiders to enter. Even if you are the young master, you cannot bring people in without permission, let alone this person who is not a member of the Mo family!"
What?
Mo Zuili tilted her head and pondered for a long time before finally remembering that this rule was indeed mentioned in the novel.
Before bringing Shen Ling over, I mentioned it to Elder Tan. Both Elder Tan and Mo Yuan simply nodded in agreement. Mo Yuan even asked me to bring some more talismans and magical artifacts.
If Mo Zizhen hadn't brought it up at this moment, Mo Zuili would have forgotten that the Martial Arts Pavilion had such a rule in the novel.
Seeing Mo Zuili frown, Mo Zizhen was overjoyed, thinking he had caught her red-handed. He fanned himself, his eyes brimming with undisguised delight: "I know you're young and immature, cousin, but this time you've been far too insensible. I can only report this truthfully to the elders and uncles, and hand it over to..."
"Tsk." Shen Ling came out very quickly. Since she couldn't think of a way to eliminate the problem completely, Mo Zuili was displeased and impatiently interrupted Mo Zizhen: "If you're not smart, go get it treated. If you can't control your mouth, I'll sew it up for you."
Mo Zuili's original plan was to select a book and take it back to Yaowang Mountain to learn talismans before Shen Ling came out.
After Shen Ling comes out, she will go and see those crazy people from the Phoenix Clan to see if she can get any information about the Dragon Clan.
If you can get the information out of them, great; if not, hurry back to Yaowang Mountain.
The Phoenix Clan dared to openly fight the Mo Clan, so Mo Zuili wasn't prepared to confront the madman head-on before she had fully matured.
Having achieved the goal of "fighting poison with poison" with the Mohist school, the next step is to return to Medicine King Mountain to cultivate diligently, find ways to consolidate one's foundation, and find Qi Shuyan to return home.
After silencing the noisy person, Mo Zuili asked Shen Ling with a smile, "What did you take, Senior Brother?"
Although Shen Ling was unclear about the current relationship between Mo Zuili and Mo Zizhen, sensing the tension between them and seeing Mo Zuili ask a question, she immediately raised the cyan lamp in her hand and said, "The Rebellious Sin Lamp, a fourth-tier magic artifact. I wonder if it can..."
Shen Ling originally wanted to say, "I don't know if I can choose this one," but Mo Zuili interrupted her forcefully: "Yes, this one is fine, it's pretty good."
This thing will save you more than once when you go to the Demon Realm.
Having confirmed that Shen Ling hadn't chosen the wrong magical artifact due to the butterfly effect he had caused, Mo Zuili withdrew his gaze from the Reverse Sin Lamp, turned his head and called out, "Senior Brother, let's go."
Interrupted and completely ignored, Mo Zizhen pointed at Mo Zuili's back and roared, "Mo Zuili! Come back! Is this how you treat your elders? You have no respect for your elders and no regard for the rules of the Mo family!"
Mo Zuili didn't even turn her head, but waved her hand and said indifferently, "Then go and complain to my father."
"You!" The fan handle rattled in Mo Zizhen's palm, and the veins on the back of his hand bulged.
Seeing that Mo Zuili was about to leave, Mo Zizhen patted the shoulders of the two people beside him and said softly, "Go and keep Mo Zuili here."
The two, who were Mozi's true lackeys, unconsciously widened their eyes.
The two of them usually speak ill of Mo Zuili behind his back and flatter Mo Zizhen because they know that Mo Zuili cannot hear them.
After Mo Zuili heard this, the two of them even figured out how to escape from the master's house!
Mo Zuili was the only son of the family head, and in his heyday he was a genius who was expected to break through to the Golden Core stage at the age of twenty!
Even though they've fallen on hard times, they're still the young masters of the Mo family. How could they, the two cannon fodder who were used as shields by powerful figures and nearly died, possibly offend them?
Seeing the two people who usually called Mo Zuili a good-for-nothing in front of him now acting like cowards, Mo Zizhen was even more furious.
“Mo Zuili has committed a crime! Stop her and wait for the elders to catch her in the act. After they punish her, I will ask for another favor for you and get another pill from the Martial Arts Pavilion.”
Seeing that the people still didn't move after he finished speaking, Mo Zizhen simply tore off his mask of hypocrisy and directly threatened, "If you can't stop her today, I will have someone send you back tomorrow."
Returning to the branch of the Mohist school would only lead to certain death!
Under duress and enticement, the two finally gritted their teeth and stepped forward.
Shen Ling, who was following behind Mo Zuili, kept an eye on the movements behind him. When he saw someone attacking, he immediately drew his sword and blocked the attacker.
Mo Zuili turned around, looked at Mo Zizhen in the distance, and suddenly grinned.
Are you going to deliver yourself to someone's head? That's interesting.
Mo Zizhen felt uneasy when he saw Mo Zuili's smile, but then he remembered that he had already sent a message to the Mo family elders through the token. The Martial Arts Pavilion was very close to where the elders usually meditated and cultivated, and they would arrive in no more than half a quarter of an hour.
No matter how many tricks Mo Zuili has up her sleeve, she will never be able to escape.
Shen Ling, the male protagonist of the novel, has become incredibly powerful from the beginning to the latest chapter. The most dangerous time for him was only the two months when he was being hunted down after his bloodline first awakened.
Even though he dared not use his full strength now because of his bloodline, he subdued the two who were rushing to their deaths at an extremely fast speed.
Mo Zuili looked away from the two men with bruised and swollen faces and turned to Mo Zizhen, a cold smile appearing in her eyes, a smile that was chilling.
Shen Ling tightened her lips, her eyes fierce, and approached Mo Zizhen step by step.
Shen Ling's attack was far too swift. Mo Zizhen was intimidated by Shen Ling's aura and roared, "Don't come any closer! Mo Zuili, this is an internal brawl, your crime is even more serious!"
"Tsk." Mo Zuili said disdainfully, "Senior brother, go ahead and make your move. This person just ordered his men to beat us up without even asking what happened. How can we tolerate this?"
Mozi's face turned even paler upon hearing this.
He didn't bring his sword at all today!
The moment Shen Ling drew his sword, a powerful spiritual force swept through the space where they were.
"Stop! Who dares to trespass into the Martial Arts Pavilion!"
