Mo Tiange was both surprised and happy to meet an old friend.
Although she fled Mount Yunwu in a sorry state, she was now the advanced inner disciple of a Nascent Soul cultivator in Xuanqing School, the second largest cultivation group in the Celestial Pole. She didn't need to be afraid of Mount Yunwu's Jiang Clan finding out, so she calmly admitted her identity.
Sooner or later, she would personally deal with the Jiang Clan!
Now, through Liu Yidao's mouth, she let the Jiang Clan know she was still alive and well, so it wouldn't be bad to annoy them.
The two of them hadn't seen each other for twelve years. After catching up for a while, Mo Tiange invited Liu Yidao back to her residence.
Liu Yidao was surprised to see her living in Lord Daoist Jinghe's Immortal's Cave and hearing the gatekeeper call her martial uncle. He couldn't help but ask, "Junior Martial Brother Ye, why do they call you martial uncle?"
Mo Tiange smiled, but before she could answer, a maid answered, "Martial Uncle Mo is Grandmaster Jinghe's advanced inner disciple, so we naturally have to call you martial uncle."
As Mo Tiange's status improved and she gained a firm foothold in Xuanqing School, the maids also became obedient. Not only did they not dare to make things difficult for her, but they also tried to please her.
Liu Yidao was shocked to hear that.
When he met this "Junior Martial Brother Ye" at Xuanqing School, he originally thought she was just lucky enough to join Xuanqing School and successfully build her foundation. He didn't expect her to have such an identity.
Mo Tiange waved her hand to dismiss Qingqi, who came to deliver tea, then invited Liu Yidao to sit down. "Senior Martial Brother Liu, please sit."
The two of them sat in the small hall. After drinking tea for a while, Liu Yidao couldn't help but ask, "Junior Martial Brother Ye, what happened to you all these years? Not only did you advance to the middle stage of the Foundation Building realm, but you were also accepted as a disciple by a Nascent Soul senior?"
Mo Tiange smiled. "I was just lucky."
She paused for a moment and said, "In the past, everyone thought I only had five spiritual roots and happened to have the same strength. It was only after I came to Xuanqing School that I realized it was a special kind of spiritual roots.
Later, I was accepted as a registered disciple by Lord Daoist Jinghe and became an official disciple after I built my foundation. "
She only talked about her experiences in a few sentences, but Liu Yidao actually sighed and said, "Back then, you suddenly disappeared. Later on, Branch Master Jiang said you were a traitor who killed Jiang Chengxian. I was shocked.
After that, I never heard any news about you, so I thought … you actually came to Xuanqing School. "
As he spoke, he asked again, "By the way, Junior Martial Brother Qin and Junior Martial Brother Jiang both disappeared with you. Later on, the sect kept this a secret, and I couldn't find out any news. I've always guessed that they were related to this matter. Junior Martial Brother Ye, is it true?"
Mo Tiange hesitated for a moment before she nodded. "Correct. Back then, I escaped from Mount Yunwu because Jiang Chengxian behaved inappropriately towards me. Senior Martial Brother Jiang saved me, so he was implicated."
"Junior Martial Brother Jiang saved you?" Liu Yidao was shocked once again.
It was no wonder he reacted like this. At that time, Jiang Shanghang didn't even spare them a glance, yet he actually offended his own clan for the sake of saving her. It was truly inconceivable.
In addition, the fact that she actually left Mount Yunwu in such a manner also made him endlessly shocked.
Upon seeing Mo Tiange nod, he took a moment to digest this truth then asked, "What about Junior Martial Brother Qin?"
Mo Tiange was silent. After a long time, she finally said, "Senior Martial Brother Liu, just take it that there's no such person in this world."
Liu Yidao was startled. "What do you mean?"
"There's no such person in this world."
The corners of Mo Tiange's lips curled into a smile. She didn't want to explain too much. "Right, why doesn't Senior Martial Brother Liu seem too surprised about my authenticity?"
Seeing that she changed the topic so quickly, Liu Yidao naturally understood she didn't want to talk about it. He was a cultivator who came from the secular world, so he naturally had the ability to read people's thoughts and body language. Thus, he didn't bring it up again and answered with a smile, "Junior Martial Brother Ye indeed didn't have any flaws at that time, and other people also never suspected that you were a woman disguised as a man. However, people like us who've been with you day and night would still more or less notice some abnormalities.
At that time, Junior Martial Brother Xu … "When Xu Jingzhi was mentioned, Liu Yidao's expression dimmed for a moment, but he immediately smiled again." Junior Martial Brother Xu once secretly told me why he always felt Junior Martial Brother Ye was a bit strange … "
Mo Tiange never expected the two of them would actually talk about this kind of thing in private. Even though the situation had changed, Mo Tiange still felt a bit curious. "Oh?"
Liu Yidao shook his head and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, we both had the same feeling. It's just that we didn't think too much about it."
"Really?
How was I strange? "
"For example, Junior Martial Brother, you've always been unable to grow taller …"
Mo Tiange was stunned. She couldn't help but laugh. "I can't do anything about that …"
Liu Yidao nodded. "At that time, Junior Martial Brother Qin said Junior Martial Brother Ye was a man with a woman's appearance, so there was nothing to be surprised about. We thought about it and agreed — you really looked like a woman.
Now, it's really like that, so I'm not very surprised. "
"He actually said that …" Mo Tiange muttered to herself.
No wonder he didn't look surprised at that time. It turned out he already knew about it.
In fact, that was true. Nothing could be hidden from him …
Upon seeing her expression, Liu Yidao hesitated for a long time. In the end, he still couldn't help but ask, "Junior Martial Brother Ye, Junior Martial Brother Qin, he …"
"He's very good."
Mo Tiange smiled, but there was a hint of coldness in her smile. "He's unimaginably good. He's better than you and me."
These three words were spoken with great emphasis. The coldness in her smile disappeared in a flash, almost making Liu Yidao think he was hallucinating. She immediately said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Senior Martial Brother Liu, I've been away from Mount Yunwu for so long. Can you tell me what happened after we parted?"
Liu Yidao swallowed the questions in his heart and nodded. "Of course."
He thought for a moment then said, "Let's start from when Junior Martial Brother left Mount Yunwu.
At that time, my current master thought highly of me and accepted me as an inner court disciple. I also obtained a Foundation-Building Pill. After my injuries were healed, I entered Closed Door Meditation for half a year. I didn't expect my luck to be so good that I really built my foundation.
It was only after I finished building my foundation and came out of Closed Door Meditation that I learned about Junior Martial Brothers.
Junior Martial Brother Xu unexpectedly died, and the three of you went missing at the same time. At that time, I lived with the four of you, but now, I'm the only one left … "Liu Yidao looked lonely. He was an individual cultivator, so he valued friendships more than cultivators from cultivation groups. When that accident happened that year, he was also worried for a long time.
It was precisely because of this that he was so excited to see Mo Tiange was still alive.
"The sect didn't give any explanation for Junior Martial Brother Jiang and Junior Martial Brother Qin's disappearance, but you, Junior Martial Brother Ye, were labeled as a traitor. They said you were greedy for money and killed Junior Martial Brother Jiang Chengxian.
I naturally didn't believe it, but since I couldn't find you, I could only give up.
Now that I know the truth, I finally understand how shameless Jiang Clan is. Fortunately, they learned their lesson! "
At this point, Mo Tiange was puzzled and asked, "What lesson did they learn?"
Liu Yidao said, "I don't know which expert the two martial uncles of Jiang Clan offended, but one night, Branch Master Jiang was seriously injured. The other martial uncle was also found and was also seriously injured. From then on, Jiang Clan declined. Later on, they had no choice but to relinquish the position of Branch Master."
Seeing Mo Tiange's shocked expression as well as understanding, Liu Yidao couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that Junior Martial Brother Ye knows who it was?"
"… I think I know." Mo Tiange quickly regained her composure. "Senior Martial Brother Liu, how are you doing on Mount Yunwu now?"
"Not bad."
Liu Yidao looked happy when she mentioned this matter. "My master already advanced to the Core Formation realm, and Jiang Clan no longer has the final say on Mount Yunwu. I'm doing very well."
Judging from his expression, he indeed seemed to be doing very well. Mo Tiange also felt happy for him.
The atmosphere between the two of them was finally filled with the joy of reuniting after a long time. Liu Yidao took this opportunity to say, "There's another good thing. Junior Martial Brother Ye will definitely be very happy to hear it."
"Oh?"
Liu Yidao wanted to pretend to be mysterious, but with his burly appearance, acting like that was really funny. In the end, he couldn't help but say, "Zixia Sect originally thought its strength would soar after it annexed Yunwu Sect and Jindao School and could become a great cultivation group. However, because of the Foundation-Building Pills incident, the three groups suffered disastrous losses.
Not long after, their Nascent Soul grandmaster encountered an accident in his cultivation. Now, the three groups' strength is greatly damaged. Not to mention becoming a great cultivation group, they can't even control us and Jindao School anymore. "
"So you're saying that Yunwu Sect and Jindao School have actually separated from Zixia Sect?"
"More or less."
Liu Yidao nodded. "Zixia Sect only dared to treat our two groups like this because they have a Nascent Soul cultivator as their backer. Right now, their Nascent Soul grandmaster is as good as dead, and their elite disciples have also suffered disastrous losses. How could they have the time to deal with us?
Junior Martial Brother Ye, you're not an outsider, so there's no harm in me saying some things. We've already joined hands with Jindao School. When the time comes, we'll deal with Zixia Sect together! "
Flames of hatred emerged in Liu Yidao's eyes.
Back then, there were only five people in the house. He considered himself the eldest martial brother and took good care of everyone else. In the end, Xu Jingzhi was killed while fighting over the Foundation-Building Pills. Liu Yidao was also enraged. Now that he had a chance to take revenge, he naturally agreed.
"Senior Martial Brother Liu, if I can't go to east Kunwu, you have to help me," Mo Tiange said coldly. "I couldn't avenge Senior Martial Brother Xu back then, but I'll avenge him sooner or later!"
"Correct!"
The two of them looked at each other and smiled. Liu Yidao couldn't help but say, "Junior Martial Brother Ye, you look very beautiful now. Why did you disguise yourself as a man back then?"
Mo Tiange's skin had also become thicker. In addition, the person she was praising was Liu Yidao, whom she had always regarded as her elder brother. She didn't look embarrassed at all and just said with a smile, "Back then, I didn't have a backer in Yunwu Sect and my aptitude wasn't good. I was worried that I'd be randomly arranged to perform Dual Cultivation or even be taken as a concubine, so I …"
"Oh, so that's what happened."
Liu Yidao understood. "It's no wonder you'd think that way. It's indeed very easy for a female cultivator without a backer or aptitude to be randomly arranged. It's even possible for them to be used as Human Furnaces …"
Speaking of this, Mo Tiange suddenly thought of something. "Right, Senior Martial Brother Liu, how are Senior Martial Sister Murong and Senior Martial Sister Wang?"
When she mentioned them, a trace of disappointment finally appeared on Liu Yidao's face, but he soon smiled again. "Junior Martial Brother Ye, you don't have to worry about them. Junior Martial Sister Murong has the full support of her clan. Although she didn't succeed in building her foundation the first time, she just built it not long ago.
As for Junior Martial Sister Wang and Junior Martial Sister Shen … The former Sect Head of Zixia Sect lost his power. His son had an accident, so Junior Martial Sister Shen is already free.
Although Junior Martial Sister Wang … is still married to that person, because she's always been very capable, she's now standing out in Zixia Sect.
This time, we cooperated with Junior Martial Sister Wang and Junior Martial Sister Shen … Oh, the two of them have also built their foundations. "
"So that's what happened …" This was better than she had imagined. Presumably, Wang Qianyi would also be able to leave the sea of suffering soon.
