Surrounded by stars and under the spotlight, a man in black appeared in Li Ze's line of sight.
"Is it pretty? Why aren't you saying anything?" Lin Jingyuan asked again.
"Put me down." Li Ze moved his body.
"Alright." Lin Jingyuan put Li Ze down and said seriously, "I guess Xiaoyu has been looking at himself too much. Even the most beautiful people become commonplace in his eyes."
Li Ze pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "That's not the case. That Senior Brother Mo is indeed exceptionally handsome."
His temperament was extraordinary, and his cultivation level surprised him even more—he was actually at the Nascent Soul stage!
Judging from the fact that everyone calls him Senior Brother Mo, he must be quite young. No wonder everyone is so eager to be a Nascent Soul cultivator at such a young age.
"Xiaoyu, if you see Senior Brother Mo in the secret realm, feel free to ask him for help," Lin Jingyuan said.
“That’s right, Senior Brother Mo’s character is the most reliable,” Gu Junyu echoed.
“Senior Brother Mo would never stand by and watch someone die. The reason everyone likes him is partly because of his strength, partly because of his appearance, and partly because he is often out and about, frequently saving people. A large part of the reason his name is so widely known is because he has saved so many people,” Liang Chen said.
Li Ze was surprised. Looking at the other person's indifferent and aloof demeanor, he never expected that he was actually cold on the outside but warm on the inside.
This reminded Li Ze of He Xingjue, who also had a cold exterior but was willing to disregard his own life for the safety of the empire's citizens.
Li Ze turned his head to look into the crowd. There were thousands of faces, but none of them were familiar to him.
Will He Xingjue really be here?
At this moment, Mo Xingjue's gaze was also searching through the crowd.
"Is Senior Brother Mo looking for someone?" Le You asked. Although he addressed Mo Xingjue as Senior Brother, he was actually more than ten years older than Mo Xingjue. Calling him Senior Brother was a sign of respect for Mo Xingjue.
Mo Xingjue responded softly, glanced around briefly, and then looked away.
"Senior Brother Mo, who are you looking for? What's their name? We'll help you find them," Shangguan Meng said with a bright smile, her round eyes sparkling.
"Is Senior Brother looking for someone? Why haven't you mentioned it?" Bai Xue pushed aside Liu Haozhi next to Mo Xingjue and asked softly.
"Yes, I'm looking for my Daoist partner," Mo Xingjue replied, his gaze fixed on the direction of the void, neither looking at Shangguan Meng nor Bai Xue.
"Your Daoist partner!" Shangguan Meng exclaimed, losing her composure. "When did you get a Daoist partner?"
Bai Xue's face drained of color, and she was on the verge of tears. "Senior Brother, are you kidding me? You grew up in the sect, how come we didn't know you had a Daoist partner?"
At this moment, the entire scene fell silent, and everyone turned their gaze to Mo Xingjue. Some were heartbroken, some regretful, some disappointed, and some curious.
Mo Xingjue actually has a Daoist partner. Who beat him to it?
Who is so powerful that they managed to defeat the emotionless and desireless Mo Xingjue?
Mo Xingjue offered no explanation, seemingly skipping over the topic altogether.
Everyone present was of the same generation as him, and none of them were as powerful as him. No one dared to, nor did anyone have the right to, question him.
But they were really curious, it was driving them crazy, they were extremely uncomfortable.
"Senior Brother Liu, does Senior Brother really have a Daoist partner?" Bai Xue stared straight at Liu Haozhi with red eyes.
Liu Haozhi sighed inwardly, a helpless look on his face. "I don't know either. Senior Brother travels around all year round, maybe he met her while he was away."
Bai Xue didn't believe it. "But given Senior Brother's status, if he really had a Daoist partner, he certainly wouldn't wrong that girl. He should have brought her back to the sect to hold a marriage ceremony."
"It should be soon," Liu Haozhi said. Regardless of whether Senior Brother Mo really had a Daoist partner or not, since Senior Brother Mo had said so, he wouldn't contradict him, but would stand on the same side as him.
Unable to get anything useful out of Bai Xue, she bit her lip, looking utterly pitiful. Unfortunately, Liu Haozhi was not one to show tenderness; without a word of comfort, he silently shifted his gaze elsewhere.
"Senior Brother Mo!"
A clear voice came from the crowd.
Mo Xingjue turned his head and nodded slightly to the person who came, "Fellow Daoist Feng."
"Senior Brother Mo, there's no need to be so formal. Just call me Junior Sister Feng." Feng Wu is the senior sister of the Crimson Pill Sect. She has always been called Senior Sister and no one has ever called her Junior Sister. She has always wanted to experience what it feels like to be called Junior Sister.
Mo Xingjue, however, did not do as she wished. "Fellow Daoist Feng, do you have something to ask me?"
Fengwu rolled her eyes at Mo Xingjue. As expected, he was clueless about romance. She wondered what kind of person would be interested in such a boring block of wood.
Fengwu felt a little sorry for Mo Xingjue's Daoist partner, whom he had not yet met.
"I would like to ask Senior Brother Mo for a favor," Feng Wu said.
Before Mo Xingjue could speak, Shangguan Meng and Bai Xue, who were standing to the side, were on high alert. Not only had an unknown Daoist partner appeared, but now Feng Wu had also arrived.
Who is Fengwu?
Mo Xingjue is the man, and Feng Wu is the woman. These two are truly recognized by the cultivation world as the most well-matched couple.
What did Fengwu ask of Mo Xingjue? Could it be that she wants Mo Xingjue to marry her?
"Fellow Daoist Feng, why don't you tell me what it is?" Liu Haozhi said. Cultivators value their promises, and if they make a promise but cannot keep it, they may develop inner demons.
Senior Brother Mo might not care, but they couldn't help but consider his well-being.
"It's nothing serious." Feng Wu smiled heartily. "I just wanted to ask Senior Brother Mo if you see any Crimson Pill Sect disciples in danger in the secret realm. If you can, please help them out."
"Fellow Daoist Feng, you're too kind. Even if you hadn't mentioned it, our senior brother would have done the same." Liu Haozhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Mo Xingjue also solemnly agreed, "If I encounter such a situation, I will not stand idly by. I hope that Fellow Daoist Feng will also do the same, and if you see our Fengyang Sect disciples in danger, you will not hesitate to lend a helping hand."
“Of course,” Fengwu replied.
Thus, the Crimson Pill Sect and the Sealed Sun Sect reached a preliminary alliance. The disciples of the Crimson Pill Sect and the Sealed Sun Sect were deeply moved. Their senior brothers (and sisters) were so kind to them, still worried about their safety even before entering the secret realm.
The surroundings were so quiet that even Li Ze, Lin Jingyuan, and the others, who were originally quite far away, could hear the conversation on Mo Xingjue's side.
"Senior Brother Mo actually has a Daoist partner," Lin Jingyuan murmured.
"How old is that Senior Brother Mo? Is it strange that he has a Daoist partner at his age?" Li Ze asked, puzzled.
"In his early thirties. Not surprising, but it's too sudden. This will surely bring tears to the eyes of young men and women in the cultivation world," Lin Jingyuan sighed.
Li Ze didn't hear what Lin Jingyuan said next. He was shocked by the number thirty. A Nascent Soul stage cultivator at the age of thirty!
This was the first time he had ever heard of it.
No wonder all the men and women admire him!
At the Nascent Soul stage of thirty, one's future achievements should at least reach the Deity Transformation stage, right? Perhaps, to be even bolder, the Out-of-Body stage, or even the Mahayana stage, are not impossible.
With such a Daoist partner, if the other party is willing to lend a hand, even someone with poor talent will be able to reach the Core Formation stage.
