Li Ze denied it, but Mo Xingjue wasn't surprised or angry at all. He even smiled and moved closer to Li Ze, asking, "Where's my snow wolf? Shouldn't you give it back to me?"
Li Ze fell silent at the mention of the snow wolf.
Looking at Li Ze's serious little face, Mo Xing's resolve melted like water. His A-Ze was still so naive, so easily manipulated. If he encountered someone with bad intentions, he'd be completely at their mercy.
Fortunately, he encountered himself, and the only one who could devour him was himself.
Li Ze didn't lie, but he didn't admit it either; he was still hesitant and conflicted. The snow wolf's soul was currently in his sea of consciousness. Once it left his sea of consciousness and didn't find a suitable body, the snow wolf's soul would dissipate in less than fifteen minutes. He now had two choices: one was to return the snow wolf to Mo Xingjue in person, and the other was to find a body for the snow wolf so that it could find Mo Xingjue itself once it had a body.
The Snow Wolf is Mo Xingjue's quantum beast, and the other party has more right than him to decide what kind of physical body to find for the Snow Wolf.
The longer Li Ze hesitated, the wider Mo Xingjue's smile became. His eyes softened and doting, and he was more gentle than ever before, which startled Liu Haozhi and the others who arrived later.
Liu Haozhi and the others, who had just controlled the flying sword to land, stumbled in unison and retreated, looking at Mo Xingjue with surprise and doubt.
Is the gentle, warm-hearted man in front of them, with a radiant smile, really their senior brother?
"Senior Brother?" Liu Haozhi tried calling out.
The atmosphere was just getting right when it was interrupted. Mo Xingjue's face instantly turned cold, radiating a chilling aura. He glanced at Liu Haozhi and the others, "What is it?"
The change in his expression was so swift and the contrast so stark that Liu Haozhi and the others were not angry at all; instead, they breathed a sigh of relief. Their familiar senior brother had returned.
"Senior Brother, we just found some things in the palace. You and He Yu can take whichever you like." Liu Haozhi said as he emptied the contents of his storage bag.
With a whoosh, a pile of boxes, jade slips, and magical artifacts appeared on the ground.
"Go see what you like, and take whatever you like," Mo Xingjue said matter-of-factly.
However, Liu Haozhi and the other disciples of Fengyang Sect also seemed to think it was the right thing to do, and they all advised, "Fellow Daoist He Yu, you don't need to be polite with us. You saved our lives. If you want it, you can take it all."
Li Ze glanced at it and shook his head. "I don't need it."
"You don't like any of these?" Sun Chenghao blurted out.
The others also had expressions that said, "You have such high standards!" There were quite a few high-grade magic artifacts among them!
Mo Xingjue also looked at Li Ze, and after confirming that he was not just being polite, he walked over and picked out two high-grade flying swords, stuffed them into Li Ze's arms without saying a word, and then turned to the others and said, "Alright, you can divide the rest among yourselves."
Li Ze glanced at the flying swords in his arms and put them into his storage bag.
An hour later, the battle in the distance ended, the smoke and dust dissipated, and the palaces were all gone, leaving only a few large craters and a pile of ruins on the ground.
The Nascent Soul stage ancestor of Fengyang Sect glanced in the direction of Mo Xingjue and the others, but had no intention of coming over, and flew away on his sword.
As soon as the ancestor left, disciples from sects such as the Crimson Pill Sect, the Heavenly Jade Sect, and the Floating Wanderer Sect flew towards Mo Xingjue and his group.
"Senior Brother Mo, Fellow Daoist He Yu, we found quite a few good things in the palace. Take a look and see if there's anything you like."
It turns out everyone came to bring them things.
Before Li Ze and Mo Xingjue could refuse, these people emptied the contents of their storage bags.
Looking at their eager eyes, Li Ze inexplicably felt that he would be letting them down if he didn't choose a few things.
"Don't let everyone's good intentions go to waste, go and choose some." Mo Xingjue put his arm around Li Ze's shoulder and led him to pick and choose.
The two spent about 15 minutes choosing. Li Ze selected several defensive magical artifacts, while Mo Xingjue chose an array plate.
After they made their choices, the others took their leave.
Lin Jingyuan, Liang Chen, and Gu Junyu stayed behind last and extended an invitation to Li Ze, "He Yu, come back to the Crimson Pill Sect with us, we'll teach you alchemy."
Upon receiving the invitation, Li Ze instinctively turned to look at Mo Xingjue. Mo Xingjue, who was initially unhappy about Lin Jingyuan and the other two's invitation, felt immediately relieved upon seeing Li Ze's first reaction. He smiled and said, "Go if you want to. You don't need to ask for my opinion. I'll follow you wherever you go from now on."
Mo Xingjue's words startled everyone present!
What kind of shameless remarks are these? Senior Brother Mo, do you have any shame?
Liu Haozhi frantically gave Mo Xingjue meaningful glances and lowered his voice to hint, "You have a Daoist partner."
Mo Xingjue chuckled softly, "I remember."
Liu Haozhi's eyes widened. "I remember you also provoked Fellow Daoist He Yu! Although you are our senior brother, He Yu is our savior. If you are two-timing and hurt Fellow Daoist He Yu's feelings, we will not agree to it."
Mo Xingjue still smiled, "No."
Li Ze's porcelain-white face was tinged with a faint blush, making her look unreal. Everyone present was momentarily captivated.
Lin Jingyuan and the other two also realized something was wrong. Their eyes darted between Li Ze and Mo Xingjue, as if searching for some clue.
Mo Xingjue was very open and allowed them to look him over, but Li Ze's face grew hotter and hotter. Before Lin Jingyuan and the other two could ask any questions, he took the initiative to say, "You have already taught me a lot, but I still haven't fully grasped it. I won't go to the Crimson Pill Sect for now. Next time we meet, I will ask you for advice on alchemy."
Lin Jingyuan and the other two felt a little regretful after hearing this, but they didn't dare to offer any further advice.
Perhaps it was their imagination, but they always felt that Senior Brother Mo resembled a ferocious beast, and He Yu was his prey. Senior Brother Mo displayed an extremely strong possessiveness towards He Yu and regarded them as enemies who had come to steal his prey.
Under Mo Xingjue's indifferent, cold gaze, Lin Jingyuan and the other two felt a chill run down their spines, a sense of impending danger rising within them. They exchanged glances and then took their leave.
Lin Jingyuan and the other two flew into the sky on their swords. Lin Jingyuan was a little worried: "Is it okay for us to leave He Yu like this?"
Liang Chen didn't take it seriously. "What's the problem? Look at Senior Brother Mo's expression, does he look like he'd let He Yu get into trouble?"
Gu Junyu said meaningfully, "I'm afraid the greatest danger is Senior Brother Mo."
Lin Jingyuan was so surprised that he swore, "I thought I was the only one who felt that way! But didn't Senior Brother Mo say last time that he and He Yu had no relationship? And Senior Brother Liu also said that Senior Brother Mo has a Daoist partner."
Liang Chen wasn't surprised at all. "With He Yu's looks, it's hard for anyone not to like him."
Gu Junyu shook his head. "I don't think things are that simple."
