In the northwest of China lies a famous, dense jungle. The trees are lush and green, and venomous beasts and ferocious animals roam there. The edges are fraught with danger, and the center is teeming with wild animals. A moment's carelessness could cost you your life.
A young man in a white shirt, carrying a simple cloth bag, walked through the forest, looking relaxed and serene. The sun shone brightly, bathing the earth in its light, yet there wasn't a speck of sweat on his face.
He walked and stopped frequently along the way, his backpack already filled with herbs. But these were merely extra gains; his true goal was that secret realm.
"I'm getting closer and closer to the depths of the forest. I can clearly feel the spiritual energy getting heavier. It seems that this kind of sparsely populated place is the most suitable for cultivation." Ye Fan thought to himself, and then started walking towards the center of the forest.
He had previously snatched a map from an ancient martial arts master, which marked the depths of this forest, supposedly the ruins of a major sect, where there must be many rare and precious materials for his cultivation.
Since being reborn into his university days two months ago, he has been eager to regain his power and cannot give up on any clue, so he rushed here as summer vacation approached.
Ye Fan wondered how Green Tea's injuries were. He still cared a little about the girl he had rescued some time ago.
Half a month ago, he encountered Green Tea and the others, who were severely injured, and offered their help. With his Immortal Venerable knowledge, he naturally didn't take their injuries seriously. The only problem was their destroyed dantian, but that wouldn't be an issue once his cultivation level improved.
Bang—the familiar gunshot rang out in the silent forest, startling the birds in the bushes into scattering in all directions, and where Ye Fan had been standing was now only a little blood.
"They've escaped..." The three men crouched down to check the situation, feeling somewhat annoyed, and immediately began their pursuit. Ye Fan, who was hiding in a treetop concealing his presence, then realized he was being surrounded.
While Ye Fan was in dire straits, the Mo family in Jinghai City welcomed a distinguished guest, or rather, an uninvited guest.
The Mo family is the most prominent family in Jinghai City. Although the patriarch of the Mo family is old, he is already a master of the Inner Realm. In his youth, he fought in many battles and made countless contributions. It is because of the existence of the patriarch that the Mo family has been able to stand firm in Jinghai City, but that is all.
At this moment, the highly respected old man Mo was smiling broadly at a young woman. He not only took out his treasured Da Hong Pao tea, but also personally brewed tea for her, though he seemed somewhat wary.
The guest that Old Master Mo was hosting was Wuyou, who brought a group of her family's elites to Jinghai City and came straight to the Mo family.
"Miss Le, I've heard so much about you. May I ask what brings you to the Mo family?" Old Master Mo's face still wore a smile, but a dark glint flashed deep in his eyes.
He had just received news of the Le family's kill order, and before the news could even settle in, the Le family sent people. Was the Le family's young lady here just for this matter?
Master Ye Fan has been kind to the Mo family, and he would never betray them easily. The Kele family is not one to be trifled with either. As the head of a family, he must be responsible for his clan.
Today, Wuyou wore a light pink long-sleeved dress with a white belt around her waist that accentuated her perfect waistline. Her delicate face was adorned with light makeup, and her long, curly hair cascaded over her shoulders, making her look charming and beautiful. She exuded an innate sense of nobility and aloofness that made people hesitate to approach her.
She took a sip from the white porcelain teacup with her slender, beautiful fingers, and remained silent for a while. With a clatter, the teacup was placed on the table, and Wuyou lazily raised her eyes to look at Old Master Mo.
"It's nothing, Wuyou just happened to be passing by. The Mo family is the number one family in Jinghai City, so I must pay my respects to Old Master Mo first. After all, my father and the others often praise Old Master Mo for his excellent management of the family."
These words sounded like lies, but Wuyou spoke them with such a serious expression that they were impeccable. She deliberately emphasized the phrase "well-managed household," which made Old Master Mo's heart skip a beat.
"Miss Wuyou, you flatter me. Now that you've come to Jinghai City, I'll send someone to show you around." Old Master Mo's expression remained unchanged as he stroked his beard and laughed heartily, pretending not to understand the other party's deeper meaning.
In this world, it's always better to have one more friend than one more enemy. If this young lady from the Le family doesn't cause trouble, he would certainly be happy to make friends with her.
It just so happens that she has many grandchildren around her who are the same age as the eldest daughter of the Le family, so they have more to talk about when they get together.
Of course, he wouldn't dare to even think about a marriage alliance. The Le family was a behemoth in the entire country, so he naturally wouldn't dare to even dream of it.
"That would be wonderful, Wuyou thanks you very much, Grandpa Mo." Wuyou smiled slightly and cupped his hands in thanks to Grandpa Mo.
"Before coming to Jinghai City, I heard that Miss Qinglian of the Mo family had already achieved minor mastery of internal strength at a young age, was exceptionally talented, and controlled most of the Mo family's business."
Now that things had been said to this extent, what was there for Old Master Mo not to understand? So he quickly said, "Miss Le thinks highly of my Qinglian, so naturally I will not stop her. Let Qinglian show Miss Mo around Jinghai City."
"Thank you." Having achieved his goal, Wuyou was unwilling to linger any longer. After exchanging a few pleasantries, he led his people away.
As Wuyou and the others gradually disappeared, the smile on Old Master Mo's face faded. He gave a few instructions to the person next to him and then went up to his study on the second floor.
Upon receiving the news, Mo Qinglian rushed home and sat down opposite Old Master Mo in the study.
"Grandpa, why do you think the eldest daughter of the Le family suddenly appeared in Jinghai City and asked me to receive her?" Mo Qinglian was very puzzled. Their two families had no relationship whatsoever, and the Le family had no reason to talk about friendship with their family. She didn't know why this young lady from the Le family had appeared.
"I'm afraid they're here because of Ye Fan. It's no secret that the Mo family has connections with Master Ye." Old Master Mo was a shrewd old man; he could deduce the connection from the slightest whisper. Besides this matter, he couldn't think of any other connection between his family and Le Wuyou.
"Is it all for this little thing?" Mo Qinglian frowned slightly. The Le family was far too domineering!
"It's hard to say for sure. Just be careful during this time." Old Master Mo slowly shook his head. He couldn't figure out what Miss Le was up to either. He could only wait and see, and deal with whatever came his way.
"Grandpa, I will." Mo Qinglian nodded, involuntarily thinking of Ye Fan's handsome face, and then lowered her eyes to hide the longing and worry in them.
