Chapter 808: Visiting The Yun Clan Again
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Mo Wen did not understand how Yun Xiaoman being targeted by the Sorcerer Clan was related to him.
“You’d better ask Yun Xiaoman’s grandfather about this matter. He will certainly know about it. Yun Xiaoman has been missing for so long that the entire Yun clan has most probably been worried sick.” Mo Qingtian shook his head with a smile. He could only say that Yun Xiaoman was destined to have the misfortune of being born into the Yun clan.
“I will head over to the Yun clan later,” Mo Wen said.
Since this matter was related to Yun Xiaoman’s grandfather, Mo Wen would certainly go and find him so that he could understand the situation more clearly. Moreover, Yun Xiaoman had disappeared a long time ago, and the Yun clan would be having a hard time dealing with it. If Mo Wen could bring news about Yun Xiaoman, it would be welcomed by the Yun clan.
“Oh, by the way, don’t you already have a sect? The Martial Arts Circle Convention is about to be held. If you have nothing else to do, you can participate in it this time around. The Martial Arts Circle Convention this time is different from the previous ones for a number of reasons. If you can perform well in the Martial Arts Circle Convention, there will be quite a few benefits for you,” Mo Qingtian said with a straight face, seemingly having recalled something.
In the previous Martial Arts Circle Conventions, Mo Wen would not need to participate. But this year was somewhat different because the International Superpowers Competition that was held every fifty years was approaching. The results of the Huatian Palace in the previous few competitions had not been very good. Hence, they paid special attention to this year. Long before it started, they began to accumulate power and prepare talents.
The Hua Xia Country’s Martial Arts Circle Convention was one of the initiatives of the Huatian Palace to select and train talents. If Mo Wen could perform well in the Martial Arts Circle Convention, not only would he receive focused training opportunities from the Huatian Palace, but it was even possible for him to qualify for the International Superpowers Competition.
“Oh, what’s so different about this year’s Martial Arts Circle Convention?” Mo Wen asked curiously. He had already heard some news regarding the convention. Right now, hearing it from Mo Qingtian’s mouth, this year’s Martial Arts Circle Convention would most likely be more complicated than he imagined.
“If you can attain outstanding results in the Martial Arts Circle Convention, you will find out a great deal. As for now, I am not at liberty to speak about it. You will know soon enough.” Mo Qingtian shook his head.
“Wasn’t it the case that only main space ancient martial art practitioner sects could participate in the Martial Arts Circle Convention? The competition shouldn’t be too fierce. Even if some people from the mystery dimensions sneak in, they can only use hidden powers. The truly unparalleled strong practitioners most likely won’t be able to show up.”
Mo Wen’s eyes flashed. From Mo Qingtian’s expression, he seemed uncertain whether Mo Wen could obtain outstanding results in the Martial Arts Circle Convention. Could it be that the competition in the Martial Arts Circle Convention was actually rather fierce?
After hearing this piece of information from Mo Qingtian, Mo Wen decided that he had had better make proper preparations later.
“In previous years, with your ability, even emerging as champion would not be difficult. However, this year is different. Here is a kind reminder for you: your opponents are not the ancient martial art practitioners from the mystery dimensions that changed their appearance and smuggled their way over, but the main space ancient martial art practitioners. The Source World has a long history. Eons have passed, and it is still the oldest space. Too many things that you do not know about are hidden inside. Even the hierarchy of an ancient martial art practitioner is far more complicated than what you see on the surface. All in all, this time, just try your best. We will not know whether you can excel beforehand and can only await the result.”
Mo Qingtian’s words astonished Mo Wen. Could it be that in the main space, there were still hidden ancient martial art practitioner powers that he did not know of? The threat of these ancient martial art practitioner powers was above even that of the mystery dimensions ancient martial art practitioners!
“On the fifteenth of next month, the Martial Arts Circle Convention will be held in Dragon City. If you have no objections, I can refer your Dafang Sect to the Martial Arts Circle Convention’s management team. You can skip a lot of the audit process,” Mo Qingtian said.
Mo Wen nodded his head and then got up and bid farewell.
Mo Qingtian looked at Mo Wen’s silhouette. His pupils narrowed slightly as he softly said, “The International Superpowers Competition will be held in half a year. With your current ability, you most likely won’t qualify to enter. In half a year, I wonder whether you can reach such heights. It may be impossible for others, but for you...You have surprised me many times.”
The Yun clan was situated in a high-end residential area in the capital. This was Mo Wen’s second time here. The previous time he had come to help treat the Purplish Blue Flower Poison for Yun Xiaoman’s grandfather and father. This time, Mo Wen’s mood was somewhat solemn.
The area had a sophisticated security system. There were security guards and cameras everywhere. However, for Mo Wen, getting past them was very easy.
He vaguely remembered that Yun Xiaoman’s house was a little mansion. Her entire family lived there. Last time, Yun Xiaoman had personally brought him over. This time, however, he had come alone.
Mo Wen arrived at the mansion. After confirming that he was at the right house, he knocked on the door.
“You are...” The person who answered the door was a middle-aged woman, dressed in plain clothes. She seemed surprised to see Mo Wen, clearly not recognizing him.
The middle-aged woman was the Yun clan’s nanny. Mo Wen recognized her. However, after so long, she had forgotten about him.
“I’m Mo Wen. I’m here to meet Mr. Yun Deguang,” Mo Wen said.
“May I know what business you have with Senior Yun? Did you make an appointment?”
The middle-aged woman gave Mo Wen a surprised glance and showed no desire to invite him in. She felt strange; this youngster was actually here to meet the old master. Originally, she thought that he was yet another one of the young mistress’s schoolmates. Since the young mistress had gone missing, there were quite a few schoolmates who came to the mansion to inquire about her condition.
It was her first time encountering a youth looking for Senior Yun. The most peculiar thing was this youth was not a resident in this area. How had he managed to enter the residential area? Normally, when a stranger visited, the security team would notify the owner before allowing the visitor in. Otherwise, a guard would usually follow the visitor and ensure that nothing was wrong before leaving.
“I did not make an appointment.” Mo Wen shook his head. He only knew where Yun Xiaoman’s house was. Other than that, he had no idea how to contact the Yun Clan, so it was impossible for him to make an appointment.
“Apologies. Senior Yun is busy with work and he is not home. Please visit again some other time,” the middle-aged woman said.
Senior Yun’s status was special. Naturally, not just anyone could see him when they wanted to. Also, the people who usually came to meet with Senior Yun mostly had impure intentions or were people who wanted something from him. She carefully observed Mo Wen. Seeing that Mo Wen was empty-handed, and had not brought any “gifts”, she felt that he did not seem like such a person. Also, this Mo Wen was a bit too young.
Without knowing who Mo Wen really was, Aunty Wang could not simply invite him into the house.
“I’m here for one reason. Please inform Senior Yun that I have discovered the whereabouts of Yun Xiaoman,” Mo Wen said.
From a distance of a hundred meters away, Mo Wen could sense that there were several people in the mansion. Yun Xiaoman’s grandfather was most likely in the study right now.
“What?” Upon hearing this, Aunty Wang’s expression changed greatly. The look she gave Mo Wen was instantly different. Very emotionally, she said, “Have you truly found the young mistress’s whereabouts?”
Mo Wen nodded and said, “Go to Senior Yun in his study and tell him that Mo Wen is here. He will know who I am.”
“Please wait for a moment... ” Aunty Wang hurried ran upstairs without any hesitation. She didn’t even worry about how Mo Wen knew that Senior Yun was in the study.
After a short while, Aunty Wang came running back. Behind her was an elderly man in his sixties. It was Yun Deguang.
“Little friend Mo Wen, please come in, come in. Please pardon my sloppiness.”
Once Yun Deguang heard that Mo Wen was here and that he had news about Yun Xiaoman, Yun Deguang could not wait and immediately came down in person.
He personally invited Mo Wen into the Yun house and was polite beyond compare. In the living room, both of them sat down and Aunty Wang served them tea. After exchanging a few pleasantries, Yun Deguang could not wait any longer and asked, “Little friend Mo Wen, do you really know Xiaoman’s whereabouts?”
Compared to before, Yun Deguang’s entire person seemed to have become frailer. His eye sockets were deep and his hair was white like frost. He was not that old, but his hair was almost completely white. Yun Xiaoman’s disappearance had made the Yun clan sick with worry. Xiaoman’s mother was in tears every day and was constantly in a trance. The entire Yun clan seemed to be living in dire straits.
Mo Wen remained silent and did not say anything. He just lowered his head and drank his tea.
Yun Deguang was stunned, then he immediately understood and said, “Little friend Mo Wen, please follow me to my study.”
The two of them entered the study. Only then did Mo Wen straighten his face. He said, “Senior Yun, before I tell you Yun Xiaoman’s whereabouts, can you answer a question of mine?”
“Ask away,” Yun Deguang said.
“Do you know of the Sorcerer Clan?” Mo Wen looked nonchalantly at Yun Deguang. Since Mo Qingtian had told him that Yun Xiaoman being kidnapped by the Sorcerer Clan was related to Yun Deguang, Yun Deguang most likely knew about the Sorcerer Clan.
“Sorcerer Clan...” Upon hearing this, Yun Deguang’s expression changed drastically. He suddenly fell silent. His body remained stiff as he stood totally still. His gaze flickered, and a look of pain surfaced on his face, as though he had remembered something.
Mo Wen did not disturb Senior Yun. He casually sat down on the couch in the study. Right now, he was already certain that something had happened between Yun Deguang and the Sorcerer Clan prior to this.
“Xiaoman has ended up in their hands?” Yun Deguang took a deep breath. His entire person seemed to have deflated. He dragged his weary body across the room and sat down in his chair. The look of pain in his eyes grew more intense.
COMMENT
“I asked a friend to investigate the disappearance of Yun Xiaoman and have indeed found out where she is. However, he said that the reason that the Sorcerer Clan kidnapped Yun Xiaoman is related to you,” Mo Wen said.
“Little friend Mo Wen, can I ask a favor of you?” Yun Deguang looked deeply at Mo Wen. There was a look of hope in his eyes.
“You want me to rescue Yun Xiaoman?” Mo Wen said.
“As long as you rescue Xiaoman, I will agree to any conditions you set as long as they are within my power.” Yun Deguang grabbed the arms of his chair with both of his hands. The veins on the back of his hands were pulsating, and his figure was trembling involuntarily.
“Regarding the Sorcerer Clan, I believe that you know something about them,” Mo Wen said softly. “Rescuing Xiaoman from the Sorcerer Clan will be very difficult. But Yun Xiaoman is my friend, and I have always treated her like a younger sister. If there is a chance, I will not give up on her. However, I am curious about your previous relationship with the Sorcerer Clan. Can you tell me about it? Maybe it can help me to rescue Xiaoman.”
