Chapter 213: Meet the City Lord Qian
"To be honest, Madam, I am actually a cultivator. I happened to see Weiwei today and found her eyes to be somewhat unusual, so I came here specifically to discuss this with Madam in detail."
Xiao Mo spoke sincerely and did not beat around the bush.
"Why is there another monk..."
Listening to Xiao Mo's words, Mrs. Wang turned her face slightly, bit her thin lips, and whispered to herself.
To be honest, she actually didn't want to have anything to do with those who practiced Taoism.
But looking at this young man's noble temperament and handsome appearance, he doesn't look like a bad person. He is even somewhat gentle and polite, and speaks politely.
And if he really had any bad intentions towards Weiwei, he would have taken her away long ago. Why would he bother coming to talk to her?
"In that case... please come in and talk, sir."
After some careful consideration, Mrs. Wang finally invited Xiao Mo into the courtyard.
"Thank you, ma'am. I'm sorry to bother you." Xiao Mo bowed again and walked steadily into the yard.
Ning Wei followed him and was about to close the door, but Xiao Mo stopped her with a smile: "Weiwei, leave the door open to avoid misunderstandings."
"All right."
Ning Wei actually didn't quite understand what misunderstanding there would be about closing the door, but she was still young and didn't think much about it, so she happily ran to the other side of the yard to feed the chickens.
When Mrs. Wang saw Xiao Mo's action, she felt even more respect for this strange young man.
"I only have some coarse tea at home, please don't be disgusted."
After asking Xiao Mo to sit down in the courtyard, Mrs. Wang poured him a cup of tea.
"Madam, you are too polite." Xiao Mo took the teacup with both hands.
"Just now, the young master was talking about Weiwei's eyes..." Mrs. Wang, who was sitting aside, asked with concern.
"That's right."
Xiao Mo gently put down the teacup.
"Weiwei possesses a pair of eyes called 'Yin Yang Eyes', which allow her to naturally see spirits and ghosts. If she were to practice Yin Yang related magic, she would also be extremely talented.
However, because of the special nature of her eyes, she is also in certain danger.
When she reaches a certain level of cultivation, her eyes become a precious medicinal ingredient, thus attracting the covetousness of many cultivators.
My meeting with Weiwei today can be considered as a fate.
If Madam and Weiwei are willing, I can take you to settle down at the Blood Peak of Wandao Sect.
Weiwei can practice at Yexue Peak, and Madam can stay there for a long time without worrying about her safety."
It doesn't matter if Madam doesn't want to.
I can also use a secret method to temporarily seal Vivi's Yin-Yang eyes.
In this way, most monks would find it difficult to detect the abnormality in her eyes.
Ultimately, all of this depends on the wishes of Madam and Weiwei."
After hearing what Xiao Mo said, Mrs. Wang frowned more and more, lowered her head, and the worry in her eyes deepened.
"What's wrong, Madam? Do you still have doubts about what I just said?" Xiao Mo asked softly.
"No." Mrs. Wang shook her head and turned her gaze to Weiwei who was feeding the chicks beside her, with a complicated look.
She retracted her gaze and looked back at Xiao Mo, asking seriously, "Master, did you just say... Weiwei's eyes might be used as a medicine in the future?"
"That's true." Xiao Mo nodded.
Mrs. Wang unconsciously clenched the hem of her skirt with both hands, her brows furrowed as she murmured, "How could this happen..."
"Just now, I was outside the courtyard and overheard Madam's conversation with her relatives." Xiao Mo asked gently, "Is Madam's concern related to the Wangchuan Sect?"
Mrs. Wang did not answer immediately, but just bit her thin lips lightly again.
Xiao Mo did not urge her, but just waited quietly for her response.
After a long while, Madam Wang finally sighed, her eyes filled with worry: "Young Master's guess is correct. It is indeed the Wangchuan Sect that I am worried about."
“To be honest, sir, our Maple Leaf City was not originally under the jurisdiction of the Wangchuan Sect, but was an independent city.
The previous city lord was kind and benevolent to the people.
But just half a month ago, the old city lord suddenly disappeared. Wangchuan Sect took the opportunity to take over Maple Leaf City and sent a cultivator named Qian Zhenhao to serve as the new city lord.
Unfortunately, for some reason, City Lord Qian found out about my daughter.
Wangchuan Sect sent someone here before, wanting my daughter to go up the mountain to practice.
But the reputation of Wangchuan Sect...is not really good.
Even a common woman like me knows that it is a demon sect."
Having said this, Mrs. Wang pursed her lips even tighter, and her voice was suppressed.
“After I politely declined, I thought I would be retaliated against. Unexpectedly, instead of making things difficult for my mother and me, they sent us a lot of money and property.
Even so, I refused the money and property and still refused to agree.
They just sent my brother-in-law to lobby every once in a while.
However, recently, City Lord Qian seems to be becoming more and more impatient.
After hearing what you said just now, I became even more worried...
If it is true as the young master said, they did not directly take Weiwei away by force, but instead persuaded us to agree step by step.
I'm afraid the real purpose is to let Weiwei enter the Wangchuan Sect to practice...
When she reaches a certain level of cultivation, Weiwei might..."
As she spoke, Mrs. Wang's face gradually turned pale, and she no longer dared to think about it.
Xiao Mo and Mrs. Wang fell into silence again.
After a long moment, Madam Wang slowly raised her head, her eyes solemn and serious, and asked softly, "Sir...will you really take good care of Weiwei?"
Rather than watching his daughter being used as a pill by the people of Wangchuan Sect.
Mrs. Wang thought it would be better to take a gamble and entrust Weiwei to this extraordinary young man in front of her.
"I won't be taking care of you personally. I still need to travel around and won't stay in the sect for long. But my junior sister is reliable, and my wife will also be at Yexue Peak, so please rest assured."
Xiao Mo told it frankly, then paused for a moment and added solemnly.
"Also, there's one thing I need to explain to Madam—the Wandao Sect I belong to is also a demonic sect, but the various halls and peaks within the sect are relatively independent, each with its own leadership and different rules.
However, if Weiwei joins the Wandao Sect, we will never force her to practice evil arts, nor will we let her do evil things.
Madam, please be at ease about this."
Mrs. Wang was silent for a moment, with a complicated expression, not knowing how to respond.
She could never have imagined that such an elegant young man actually came from the Demon Sect?
Xiao Mo knew what Madam Wang was thinking. He smiled and said, "Madam, there's no need to rush into a decision. You can think about it carefully over the next few days. As for the Wangchuan Sect, I'll also help with that."
"This...how can I trouble you, sir..." Mrs. Wang looked ashamed.
"No problem."
Xiao Mo shook his head slightly, then turned his gaze towards the City Lord's Mansion. His tone was calm but a bit awe-inspiring.
"It just so happens that I also want to meet that City Lord Qian."
