Strongest Abandoned Son

Chapter 1081: No Power, No Right to Reason

Translator: Timothy_ Editor: GlobeGlotter

Originally taking in Xin Zhida as his disciple was an impromptu idea, but when Xin Zhida actually knelt down for the customary act of entering discipleship, Ye Mo suddenly had a feeling of satisfaction. He felt that he had made the right decision.

Ye Mo pulled Xin Zhida’s hand and said, “My real name is Ye Mo, but I have some enemies at the moment, so if anyone asks my name, just say my name is Luo Xiaomo.”

Ye Mo knew that the Lightning Cloud Sect was suspicious of Mo Ying, and Ning Xiaoma had also had too much exposure at the Truth Fall Palace, so he made another name: Luo Xiaomo.

But Ye Mo was quite speechless. When would he finally be able to use his own name without hiding?

Xin Zhida was a bit confused, but she didn’t ask much. She felt she suddenly gained a lot when she got a master. Before, she was just working in an endless cycle of earning spirit stones and paying debt everyday. She didn’t have any family or friends, nor did she have some high goal. The only thought she had in her mind was to pay back all the debt.

“Master, did you come to Pill City for the pill king tournament in three months? Are you a pill king?” Xin Zhida didn’t forget to ask her question again. Although she wished Ye Mo was a pill king, she knew that even with her grandpa’s age, he hadn’t become a pill king. Her master would probably just be a spirit pill master.

Ye Mo smiled. “Do you have high anticipations for the pill king tournament?”

Xin Zhida nodded. “My grandpa worked his entire life to go to the pill king tournament yet when he passed away, he was only a level seven spirit pill master. There was still a long road before he could become a pill king. Grandpa said he might never become a pill king his entire life, and he said my talent wasn’t suitable for pill concoction. I didn’t need to continue his path.”

In fact, in the North Far State, a level seven spirit pill master had rather high status, but in the South Peace State and especially in Pill City, it was nothing.

“I will talk about the pill king tournament later. Let’s send off the people in these rooms first,” Ye Mo said.

“Master, the tenants are here because I owe them money, you can’t send them away,” Xin Zhida immediately said.

This was Pill City. If Pill City was the kind of place where anyone dared to harass and abuse people as they wished, she would’ve been forced out of the city and lost her life already.

Those people took over her yard, but they didn’t do it forcibly. It was because she owed them spirit stones.

Ye Mo waved his hand. “You don’t need to worry about that, just listen to me. Gather the people here.”

Ye Mo stood in the yard, waiting for all the tenants, but a while later Xin Zhida only brought two people out. One person’s face was already full of impatience. If he hadn’t recognized Ye Mo’s power, he would’ve gotten in a rage already.

The other person just scanned Ye Mo and looked coldly at Xin Zhida. “Xin girl, our time is limited, if you have something to say then hurry up. You still haven’t paid up the spirit stones for this month and I haven’t even had the time to ask you.”

Xin Zhida’s face went red as she looked down and said, “Sorry, Wei-Qianbei, my master has business with you guys.”

“Your master?” The two studied Ye Mo and waited for him to start speaking. They could tell Ye Mo was stronger than them, but so what? this was Pill City.

Ye Mo scanned with the other three people with his spirit sense and suddenly sneered as he sent three piercing waves of spirit sense over. The three who didn’t come out immediately spat blood and had a pale face.

They finally realized that the person who had come was a master amongst masters and they didn’t dare to stay in the room anymore. They all ran out as they looked at Ye Mo with some degree of concern.

This was only because Ye Mo had used the lightest spirit sense pike. Now that his purple eye soul sever ability was at level three, he could use the spirit sense sword freely. If he used that, the three would either die or go crazy instantaneously.

Seeing Ye Mo’s dominance, the two who came first began to worry. Although Pill City had strict rules, if he killed them first and thought things through later, even if he got punished, they would still be dead.

“This yard was left behind by Xin Zhida’s grandpa to her. Are you guys not paying rent and staying here just because you’re stronger than her while you’re asking for her to pay spirit stones?” Ye Mo glared coldly at them.

The cultivator called Wei stepped forward and saluted with his fists. “Qianbei, although you’re Xin Zhida’s master, you can’t be unreasonable in Pill City. We’re living here, but it’s not that we want to. It’s because Xin Zhida owes us spirit stones and she can’t afford to pay it. That’s why we gave up the homes we lived in before and came here.”

Ye Mo laughed. “So according to your words, you’re doing this for the benefit of Xin Zhida?”

“That’s right.” The cultivator seemed certain that Ye Mo wouldn’t dare do anything to them.

“Very well.” Unexpectedly, Ye Mo wasn’t angry. He scanned the yard and suddenly said, “How many spirit stones does Xin Zhida owe you?”

The cultivator called Wei was ready to make a ruckus if Ye Mo showed signs of attacking to kill them, but to his surprise Ye Mo did not try to force a fight.

He immediately realized that Ye Mo was just acting tough and didn’t dare do anything in Pill City. Thinking about this, his voice grew loud as he replied, “She owes me 140k spirit stones.”

Ye Mo could tell what they were thinking from their tone, but he didn’t say anything about it. He asked, “Would you guys leave immediately if Xin Zhida gave back the spirit stones?”

“Of course. I, Wei Wuya, am a man of my word. How can I seize someone else’s land? Even if I were willing to do that, the city guards would immediately annihilate me,” the cultivator called Wei said as though he were some upright person.

Ye Mo pretended he didn’t notice this and continued asking, “I won’t ask about cultivation homes, but how long does it cost to stay in a middle grade hotel in Pill City for a year?”

“About 150k spirit stones, but this place can’t compare with a hotel.” That Wei-cultivator clearly knew where Ye Mo was heading.

Ye Mo sneered and asked again, “Then how much would it cost to rent a room like this in Pill City for a year?”

“About 20 to 30k spirit stones?” the cultivator called Wei was beginning to sweat.

Ye Mo sneered. “I don’t need to ask to know it’s more than 20-30k spirit stones. But I’ll just count it as 30k spirit stones. Okay let me ask you now—how long have you been living here?”

“Si- six years...” the Wei cultivator’s tone was getting shaky.

“Six years, very well. I’ll count it as 30k spirit stones a year. How much spirit stones do you need to pay Xin Zhida for six years?” Ye Mo’s tone went cold as he scanned the people there. “You’re not only ungrateful to Zhida for letting you stay here for six years, you instead even ask spirit stones from her everyday. Do you not take me seriously or do you not take the rules of Pill City seriously? Merely at the golden core state, do you think you’re powerful?”

Then, Ye Mo suddenly sneered as the weakest one of the group even spat blood.

Ye Mo then said more seriously, “I heard Zhida say that you guys were even planning on taking this yard in ten years. If this isn’t abusing low level cultivators, what is? Do I need to call the city guards over and let you guys explain yourselves?”

The cultivators’ faces immediately changed. They knew that they had indeed been abusing low level cultivators.

“Qianbei, wanbei has been in cultivation and forgot that Sister Zhida already paid me back everything.” The bald cultivator reacted the quickest and immediately went to pack his things and leave.

“Leave behind the letter of debt.” Ye Mo didn’t know if there was at first, but he now knew that the cultivator did have a spirit sense jade slip on him.

The rest all quickly did the same and left the yard.

“Master, is this okay?” Xin Zhida didn’t expect them to leave after a few words.

Xin Zhida patted her chest. “If I had known, I would’ve used this way already. Yet I was stupid enough to earn spirit stones for them everyday.”

Ye Mo sighed. “I can use this way , but you can’t. Do you think they didn’t know how much spirit stones it saved them to live here? They were abusing the fact that you didn’t have anyone to help you. You need to remember this—if you want people to reason with you, you need to have strong power. If you don’t have power, you have no right to reason.”

Xin Zhida nodded.
