Chapter 756: Cause and Effect
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Mo Wen’s eyes sparkled as he thought deeply about the issue. Back when he first came in contact with the Ghost Lair, they had built a mysterious altar. He did not know what they wanted to do.
He was originally prepared to follow the trail and investigate what the Ghost Lair was up to. However, he had failed back then and had fallen into the scheme of the Ghost Lair, nearly suffering serious injuries.
Ever since then, he kept hearing news about the Ghost Lair, but there was never anything useful. Now, the Ghost Lair was capturing a large number of women with special body constitutions. Was it related to the incident where they built the altar?
“Little friend Mo Wen, since the Ghost Lair has discovered our goal, they will certainly be fully wary of us. I must immediately head back to Huatian Palace headquarters and report this matter to the relevant departments to avoid even greater losses. Will you be following me back to headquarters?” Granny Fu Qing said with a serious expression.
The Huatian Palace had already launched a full-scale blockade against the Ghost Lair. Since they had been ambushed and tricked, the other groups would most likely also have had a hard time. Some may have already fallen prey to the schemes of the Ghost Lair. Right now, they could only return to report this matter as soon as possible to try to save their losses.
“I have other business to attend to, so I will not be heading back to the Huatian Palace.” Mo Wen shook his head. He had just returned to the main space. He needed to immediately return to the university. How could he waste his time again on the Ghost Lair?
With the Huatian Palace’s ability, since they had discovered the Ghost Lair’s scheme, they would certainly immediately stop them and counterattack in full force.
“Then I will leave for the time being. I will surely repay you some other day, little friend, for saving my life today.” Granny Fu Qing saluted with her fists, then glancing at the group of Vermillion Bird Palace Hall young maidens, flew up and flew in the direction of the Huatian Palace headquarters without another word. This matter was of great importance and could not be delayed. She did not have time to exchange more pleasantries with Mo Wen.
The group of Vermillion Bird Palace Hall female Executors curiously cast a few glances at Mo Wen and then immediately followed Granny Fu Qing, hastily rushing back to the Huatian Palace.
Shangguan Qingyou and Invisible Saber Demon wore complicated expressions. Who would have thought that after not seeing him for a few months, Mo Wen had become a person from a different world?
However, they did not say anything, silently flying off.
“This... this senior... thank you for saving my life. I will remember this. If there is an opportunity, I will certainly repay this debt.”
Only after the group of Huatian Palace members flew off, did Wang Qinghan stammeringly walk up to Mo Wen. Her eyes were full of fear, and she did not dare to get too close. She did not dare to be like Granny Fu Qing and call Mo Wen little friend. After all, Mo Wen’s imposing manner just now was practically earth-shaking. It was too frightening. This was the first time she had encountered an ancient martial art practitioner of this level.
However, calling Mo Wen senior was still awkward for her. After all, Mo Wen was but a youth, seemingly even younger than she was. But she did not dare to act rashly towards such people, so she could only bite the bullet and call him senior.
After all, a Martial Arts Grandmaster could destroy a sect like their Zhongyu Sect single-handedly.
Although the Zhongyu Sect was one of the Ten Great Sects in the main space, they could not stand against the resplendence of a Martial Arts Grandmaster. The strongest practitioner in the sect only had beginning stage Golden Elixir Realm cultivation. With Wang Qinghan’s status, she knew some things about the secrets of the Inner worlds. She knew of the pinnacle ancient martial art practitioners that existed in the Inner worlds, but she was not too familiar with the Inner worlds.
Mo Wen was the strongest practitioner that she had ever met.
“You can call me Mo Wen. I am also a young person, so don’t call me senios. I just wanted to tag along for the ride. To encounter such an incident is also fate. Consider it repayment for letting me catch a ride.”
Mo Wen nodded his head and then with a wave of his hand, a gale swept past. The Phantom sedan that had fallen into the valley immediately flew up and landed on a secluded highway. At the same time, a force guided Wang Qinghan and Little Tang, instantly pushing them onto the viaduct.
By the time the two of them managed to react, they were already standing before the sedan on the highway. With Mo Wen’s cultivation, they did not even have the ability to respond, let alone the ability to resist.
“Let’s go. Head towards the city. Don’t you all have a dinner to attend?”
Mo Wen opened the car door and sat down on the back seat. Although the sedan had fallen into the valley, it had not plunged down. Instead, it had been guided by the force of an ancient martial art practitioner. The quality of the Rolls-Royce Phantom was also quite tough, hence it seemed to be undamaged.
“Little Tang, start the car. Let’s send senior back to the city.”
Wang Qinghan took a deep breath. Only after giving Little Tang a look, did she carefully climb back into the car with a restrained look. Everything seemed to be in reverse. It was as though Mo Wen was the owner of the sedan and she was the guest who was catching a ride.
Little Tang had only just recovered from the earlier events which had shocked her and left her awestruck. She looked at Mo Wen fearfully. She did not dare to show him her face. She sat down obediently in the driver’s compartment and started the car. Her actions were stiffer when compared to before, and her driving was far less smooth and skilled.
“Senior, where are you headed? I will immediately take you there,” Wang Qinghan said respectfully. Although Mo Wen allowed her to call him by name, she did not dare to actually do so.
“Take me to Hua Xia University,” Mo Wen said after some thought. Since someone proactively wanted to send him, he would naturally oblige.
“Hua Xia University?” Wang Qinghan was stunned. She looked at Mo Wen with a somewhat strange expression. This youth wasn’t a Hua Xia University student, was he?
“What’s the matter?” Mo Wen looked at Wang Qinghan.
“No... it’s nothing.” Wang Qinghan lowered her head and hid the surprise in her eyes.
“That’s right, I am a first-year student of Hua Xia University,” Mo Wen said plainly. He could tell at a glance what Wang Qinghan was thinking.
“You are actually just a student!” Little Tang was concentrating on driving and said this h without thinking. As soon as the words were out of her mouth, her expression instantly became pale.
“Presumptuous! You dare to act disrespectfully to Senior Mo. When we get back, reflect against the wall for a hundred days. You are not allowed to take one step out of the Reflection Cliff,” Wang Qinghan said, scolding her harshly. She was also pale, but her face quickly turned stern as she glared at Little Tang.
Mo Wen was an absolute ruthless person that could eradicate their sect alone, and he was also a high ranking person in the Huatian Palace. Wasn’t offending him seeking their own deaths? Misfortune comes from the mouth. Who knew whether one word would bring disaster to the sect?
“Senior, Little Tang is young and naive and has talked too much. I shall severely punish her when I get back,” Wang Qinghan said anxiously.
“I’m sorry! I’m sorry!”
Little Tang knew that she had caused trouble. She kept apologizing while keeping her head low. She was so frightened that she almost began to cry. It was not that she was timid, but rather it was because Mo Wen was too terrifying. He was so powerful until nobody dared to have the thought of rebelling against him.
“I am indeed just a student. Don’t worry. I am not so petty,” Mo Wen said with a smile. He did not expect that the earlier incident would cause these two ladies to be so afraid of him.
Wang Qinghan breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, even though this youth had an odd temper, he was not unreasonable.
The three of them remained silent throughout the journey. Mo Wen said nothing while Wang Qinghan and Little Tang did not dare to say anything. The car moved at a high speed and entered the city after a short while. In the end, the car stopped at the front gate of Hua Xia University.
When the Rolls-Royce Phantom stopped at the front gate of the school, it attracted gazes from many people. After all, it was rare to see such luxury cars in the capital, let alone at the front gate of the school.
A beautiful lady got out from the driver’s seat, then she moved to the back seat with reverence. She opened the door, wearing a look of respect. Many were curious as to who could cause such a beautiful girl to be so respectful.
However, to everyone’s surprise, another lady got down from the car. This lady was far more beautiful than the previous one. She bore an elegant manner. One could tell from a glance that she was from an extraordinary family background and had an excellent temperament.
But this lady actually copied the lady before, standing beside the door respectfully. They seemed to be waiting for someone important to get down from the car.
Mo Wen sat in the car and rubbed his forehead helplessly. He had told them to not be so uptight, but his words were useless. Now, they had caused a scene in front of the school gate. Did they just want to make him uncomfortable?
Unfortunately for Mo Wen, Wang Qinghan and Little Tang were from an ancient martial art practitioners’ sect. The concepts of seniority and respecting more powerful ones were long ingrained in their mindsets. They didn’t dare to be any less respectful. It was because Mo Wen was too terrifying, and he could easily decide their life or death.
“Initially, when I got in your car, I was prepared to treat your Yin body constitution as repayment. But since I saved your life along the way, consider us having cleared our debts and not owing each other anything,” Mo Wen said as he got out of the car and glanced at Wang Qinghan.
Upon hearing this, Wang Qinghan was stunned. Then, she suddenly understood. No wonder Mo Wen only stopped her car, even though there were so many other cars. Most likely he had long noticed her condition.
Earlier, she would not have thought it possible. After all, this matter was far too difficult and ordinary ancient martial art practitioners could do nothing to help her. But right now, she did not doubt that Mo Wen had the ability to do so at all.
“Senior! You can treat the young mistress’s illness?”
Little Tang’s eyes were wide open. She looked at Mo Wen hopefully. She had always known that the young mistress had an innate incurable disease that had determined her fate and could not be treated at all. They had found countless famous doctors and miracle physicians, traveling all over, and no one had been able to cure the young mistress’s illness.
Just thinking about the pain and torment that the young mistress went through every night, Little Tang felt her heart ache. Now that she knew that the llness could be treated, how could she not be excited?
“I can!” Mo Wen nodded his head.
“Senior, please, I beg you...” Little Tang pleaded.
“Little Tang.” Wang Qinghan severely restrained Little Tang, not allowing her to continue speaking. She looked somewhat apologetically at Mo Wen and said, “Senior, Little Tang is naive. I apologize. I know that many things depend on fate. For you to have saved my life once, I am already grateful. I do not dare to ask for more.”
Wang Qinghan knew that before this, Mo Wen was willing to treat her illness as repayment for her giving him a ride. But since he had saved the two of them along the way, they did not owe each other anything. She did not have any reason to request anything else from him.
Little Tang’s lips twitched a few times, wanting to say something, but she was forcefully pulled by Wang Qinghan.
“Let fate run its course. Perhaps we will meet again.”
Mo Wen smiled, turning around to walk into the school. He did not owe Wang Qinghan anything. No one set the rule that dictated that he must heal her. He liked the concept of cause and effect. A cause led to an outcome. There were so many patients in the world. It was impossible for him to heal everyone. It was because life and death in itself was a type of cause and effect.
