The clan leader froze in place, his eyes constantly changing, sometimes normal, sometimes completely black. After more than ten seconds, his eyes remained completely black. He knelt on one knee toward Xue Huan and called out, "Master."
At the same time, he presented the spiritual ginseng to her with both hands.
Xue Huan said, "Please keep this spiritual ginseng for now. Find a chance to tell others that it's in your hands, so that no one will be targeting me anymore."
"yes."
As early as on the way back, Xue Huan was thinking about how to start work after returning to the Mo family.
She has three goals: one is to liberate those people in Linglong Pavilion and let them return to freedom; the second is to investigate whether the Mo family is the real culprit behind the assassination of Pei Ji; the third is to clean out the scum in the Mo family and recruit the remaining members for her own use.
The Mohist school is one of the five major families after all. It is unrealistic and unnecessary to uproot it. After all, only a part of it is bad, and there is no need to kill all of them at once.
Everywhere, there are good people and bad people.
Moreover, the Mohist mechanical technology is still very useful and can play a significant role in resisting the Zerg in the future.
To catch a thief, you must first catch the leader. This principle also applies when dealing with the Mohist school. First, make the clan leader your own, and then the rest of the work will be easy to carry out.
How could they bring the clan leader into their own hands? Xue Huan initially considered using a puppet talisman, but the clan leader was already a cultivator in the late Qi Refining stage, and an intermediate puppet talisman might not be able to effectively control him.
The reason why the puppet talisman can control a person is that she is actually controlling him through the puppet talisman with her spiritual consciousness. The puppet talisman is equivalent to the "string" that binds that person, and she is the one who pulls the string.
Although her spiritual awareness has reached the level of the Foundation Establishment Stage, it is still a considerable burden to control a cultivator in the late Qi Refining Stage for a long time. Once she is careless, the clan leader is likely to break free from her restraints, and the consequences will be very serious.
At this moment, she suddenly thought of the blue hat beetle Liuqu that she had caught.
When it comes to controlling people, it is much more proficient than her. After all, this is its talent.
So Xue Huan made a contract with Liu Qu, a master-servant contract, where she was the master and Liu Qu was the slave. She left a spiritual imprint in its sea of consciousness, and this spiritual imprint was like a time bomb.
As long as it moves slightly, she can immediately destroy it through the imprint of her spiritual consciousness.
Its life or death depends on her one thought.
After making a contract with Liuqu and letting it parasitize the clan leader, she could turn the clan leader into her puppet.
"Was the assassination of Pei Ji done by the Mohist school?" Xue Huan asked.
If it was done by the Mo family, the patriarch would not have been unaware of it.
Liu Qu: "It was done by the Mo family. To be more precise, it was done by the first branch. The first branch was dissatisfied with the position of clan leader falling to the second branch, and has always wanted to seize the position of clan leader. They brought the fourth and fifth branches together. These three families joined together, secretly trained a group of monks and set up a killer organization called "Mo Sha", which amassed a lot of wealth.
"Last year, Mosha received an order to assassinate the crown prince. The client offered a high commission, so Mosha took it. Although they suffered heavy losses, they accomplished the mission. Of course, they thought they had accomplished it. When the clan leader found out, he summoned the great elder and reprimanded him, saying he had violated the rule of aristocratic families not to participate in worldly struggles for imperial power.
"However, the clan leader's reprimand of the Great Elder wasn't meant to defend the assassinated Crown Prince, but rather to seize the opportunity to gain benefits from the First House. In the end, the Great Elder surrendered a considerable amount of property to the public office, and only then was the matter settled."
A cold, sharp light flashed across Xue Huan's clear eyes. "Humph, it's the Mohist School as expected. Who is the employer who placed the order?"
Liuqu: "The patriarch didn't ask." Because he didn't care about that.
The Great Elder would not spread the news. After all, as a killer, one must have some ethics and cannot disclose the employer's information at will.
Xue Huan was not disappointed. After all, the Great Elder was in the Mo family and could not run away. She would find out sooner or later.
She asked again: "What is the current situation of the Mo family's ancestors?"
Liu Qu: "The ancestor of the Mo family has already taken the longevity pill that Mo Biao brought back and is now in seclusion to refine the medicinal power. Before he went into seclusion, he instructed that no one should disturb him unless it was a matter of life or death. He will not come out until Qiu Tan arrives in two months."
Xue Huan thought to herself, two months is enough time for her to accomplish many things. If she moves quickly, she might even have the Mohist sect under her control.
She asked a lot of questions and gained a clearer understanding of the situation within the Mohist school.
Coming out of the study, Liu Qu said to the servants, "Take Miss Thirteen to Cuiwei Tower in Langxing Courtyard."
Langxing Courtyard is the courtyard with the best environment and the richest spiritual energy in the Mohist school. It is very large and has several buildings built inside, each of which is a separate residence.
It was provided for the most outstanding disciples of the Mohist school to live in.
Sometimes, disciples who have made contributions to the clan are rewarded by being allowed to come and live there for a while.
All the disciples of the Mohist School are proud to live in Langxing Courtyard.
Originally, Mo Xuefei was only at the third level of Qi Refining and was not qualified to live there. Now it was Xue Huan's turn, who had reached the seventh level of Qi Refining and had made great contributions to the clan, earning her the Longevity Pill. Now her yard had been occupied by someone, so naturally she had to find another place to live.
Langxingyuan is quite suitable.
The servant took Xue Huan to Langxingyuan.
Cuiwei Tower has three floors, one floor higher than other buildings, with the best view. It also has a separate spirit gathering array. This is the place with the most spiritual energy in Langxingyuan.
The furnishings inside are all exquisite.
There was no owner here yet, but there were two maids stationed here to clean. After the servant brought Xue Huan here, he instructed the two maids, "Young Miss Thirteen will be living here from now on. You must serve her well."
The two maids looked surprised, but still bowed and responded in unison.
Xue Huan toured the building and chose the largest room on the second floor as her bedroom.
No words were spoken that night.
The next morning, Xue Huan sat in the first-floor living room and had breakfast. The breakfast was made of spiritual food and the dishes were very rich.
While they were eating, the maid came to report: "Miss, Miss Fifteen wants to see you."
When Mo Shiwu was having breakfast in the morning, he asked Mo Xuefei if she had no place to sleep last night, and mocked that no one would take her in. As a result, he found out that she actually lived in Langxing Courtyard, and in Cuiwei Tower, the best building in Langxing Courtyard!
This time she didn't even bother to eat, and came over with her maid, wanting to see it with her own eyes.
Why can Concubine Mo Xue live in Langxingyuan!
As a result, he was stopped at the door.
The security system of Langxingyuan is very strict. Not everyone can come in. Non-residents like Mo Shiwu need to get the consent of the residents if they want to enter.
"I'm here to see Mo Xuefei. Ask her to come out and see me!" Mo Shiwu said breathlessly with his hands on his hips.
So Xue Huan received the report.
She refused flatly: "No."
Why let her in? Will it affect your appetite?
