Li Mo’s trip to Chuan Province was a last moment thing, but it had been on his to do list for a long time.
Why did he fight for six centuries in his past life all over the universe only to ultimately die? Heart demons were a reason, but not the main one.
His life’s journey culminated with the war of all races, in which Li Mo was alone. He could stand firm by himself to face anything that may come, but he had no one to watch his back.
With a trusty sidekick by his side, that sudden sword wouldn’t have pierced him.
Now, Li Mo was back and would not just amend his cultivation, but gather comrades to fight alongside against his lifelong enemy!
Chuan Province held something more to Li Mo than the much needed ‘black and white national treasure’, a time-space rupture Thunderstruck Enterprise had yet to find. In his past life, he heard that one man reaped it all.
Wang Huan!
On top of being a natural genius, his earth magical art came in fact from that time-space rupture.
Li Mo just sat in his seat aboard the plane when Du Fei was paying a visit to his home.
Du Fei watched dumbstruck.
“Bro Mo lives here?”
“T-this must be worth at least a 100 million!”
Li Mo communicated his new address to Du Fei when he moved, but the latter was too caught up in training to visit till now.
He came because the training was on a sudden break, with everyone out on vacation.
Du Fei called Li Mo but his phone was turned off. “What’s up? Why close the phone?”
Du Fei grumbled and tried the door. To his surprise, it opened.
“Leaving it unlocked is very much bro Mo’s style.
“Crud, what am I thinking? Has bro Mo ever lied to me? If he said this place is his, then it must be his.”
Du Fei walked in.
“Bro Mo, you home?” Du Fei shouted as he walked into the living room
Su Qingyi was there extending one leg and hopping with the other, moving to and fro as the mop danced in her hands.
Her moves were quite bizarre because of her possessing body skill. The Corpse Controlling Art she used to move her body wasn’t quite up to par and led her body assume eccentric positions.
The two’s eyes met and jumped. “Ahhh!”
Su Qingyi recalled Li Mo saying there was no one coming to see him. She threw the mop and ran to the bedroom.
Su Qingyi jumped on one leg and lifted the other above her head, just like a ballerina.
“Holy! Bro Mo is such a hypocrite. No wonder he doesn’t hang out with me, he had a professional girl hiding here.”
“Sister-in-law, don’t run! I’m Li Mo’s friend!”
Su Qingyi stopped and watched Du Fei woodenly. She was so new at this control art that she couldn’t even get her expressions across.
“You know brother Li?” Su Qingyi’s voice was eerie.
“Of course, we are best pals. The best of the best.”
Du Fei explained for a while and Su Qingyi relaxed.
“I-I’m not your sister in law.”
Su Qingyi waved her hands, but the way they swung in front of her painted a very strange image.
“Not a sister in law? Then who?”
“I-I am Qingyi. Brother Li is my brother, and I am his little sister.
“Sister? Bro Mo’s little sister? Now I remember, he did say once he indeed had a little sister.” Du Fei recalled.
…
Chuan Province Airport.
Li Mo just landed and saw the long procession waiting for him.
Hundreds of girls were cheering with a smiling and clapping Hu Dezhi in the middle.
Boom~
Fireworks filled the sky.
This was even more excessive than a superstar’s welcome.
Li Mo sat in Hu Dezhi’s Bentley.
Hu Dezhi offered Li Mo a cigarette but Li Mo said he didn’t smoke.
Hu Dezhi lit one himself, “Chap Li, is my welcoming committee up to your standards?”
Li Mo asked, “When is the black market going to start?”
“Three days later. You just need to stick with me and you’ll enter.”
Li Mo nodded.
“Our Chuan Province is different from Shenjing. We pay close attention to our history, to our clans. I’m sure this great clan I’m mentioning isn’t foreign to you, the Tang Group.”
Li Mo nodded. The Tang Group had lived through a millennia, a clan filled with outstanding talents.
“Here it is not enough to have skills. If a large clan didn’t have your back, no one would even look at you. As you plan on doing something big here, you will have no choice but to rely on those great clans.
“I won’t lie to you. I was impoverished and had no background once. The me you see today is half because of my wife is from a Tang Group branch.”
“Do you know anything about this man? He is Wang Huan.” Li Mo showed a photo.
“There are three great clans in Chuan Province, Tang Group , Wang Estate , and Huang Palace. Maybe Wang Huan belongs to the Wang clan? But he doesn’t look like it. His appearance is nothing like the Wangs. Their men are handsome, their girls are gorgeous. He must be from someplace else. There’s no way they had one with such a hideous face…
“But I’ll look into it. Don’t worry, old sport, leave it to me and in three days I will tell you everything there is to know about him.”
“Thank you. Tell me anything you want and I will do it.”
“Old sport, I… ha-ha-ha. I like people like you the most! So to the point, how refreshing!
“To tell the truth, I have invited you to help me with something. These past years have been difficult, and even more so this year. The Tangs have a new clan head, Tang Zhan, that I once had conflict with. This led to my current misery, with him always targeting me and my business…
“I heard that Tang Zhan likes antiques. I was so set on buying at the auction because of Tang Zhan.
“But nothing I bought caught his interest. And even send them all back…”
Hu Dezhi felt helpless.
“I later found out Tang Zhan liked a special kind of antiques, like Grandmaster Zhou’s talisman. If I can get one of a certain age, he would definitely be pleased.”
Hu Dezhi showed the talisman on his neck, Grandmaster Zhou’s talisman.
Li Mo eyed it, “It’s best if you do not wear it.”
“Is something wrong with it?”
“What do you think will happen if someone overreaches past his limits?”
Li Mo dodged. He did not know what kind of man was Grandmaster Zhou and since Li Mo’s strength was low, it was best to keep to himself.
“I cannot bear it.” Hu Dezhi starred in a daze for a few seconds then took it off, “Old sport, your words woke me up. No wonder I felt my luck worsen recently…
“You can read fortunes? Then please read mine, what do you see? Oh, do you need my birthday too? Here it is…”
Li Mo’s face darkened.
The past Li Mo gathered thousands of cultivation methods from all kinds of races. But if there was one thing he didn’t have was divination arts.
“Old sport, tell me. No matter if it’s good or bad, I can take it.”
Li Mo didn’t want to answer and looked out the window.
Hu Dezhi followed his sight and his face slackened.
Out there was a rice paddy. But in the middle was a scarecrow wearing a green hat.
Hu Dezhi gave a thumbs up, “Old sport, you’re godly!” (T/N: green hat is an euphemism for his wife cheating on him)
