Early the next morning, Li Mo bid farewell to Lu Fang and left Breezy City.
He didn't see Lu Xinyue again, perhaps because last night's conversation had made her give up on him.
But that was fine. Relationships always gave Li Mo a headache.
Li Mo left Breezy City. Little did he know that in a corner of the city, a frail figure was watching him disappear from sight.
"Xinyue, I know you like Li Mo, but you can't torture yourself like this!"
Lu Fang appeared behind her without a sound.
He knew his daughter the best. Yesterday he saw Lu Xinyue's love for Li Mo.
"Father, don't worry. I'm fine!"
Lu Xinyue smiled bitterly and followed her father home.
Today was the day Breezy City's power was reshuffled. The Duan clan's destruction made the other powers restless.
Lu Fang didn't have any ambitions, but he had to make sure no one took advantage of the situation.
…
Li Mo ran full speed to Taiping Village. He didn't tell Liu Yan on his way out, afraid she'd worry.
Back at the Lord Manor, Li Mo went to Liu Yan's room but found no sign of her.
"Where did the lass go?"
"Brother Li!
When did you get back? "
Xuanyuan Qing's sudden voice startled Li Mo!
"Qing 'er, can't you at least make some noise when you walk? You'll scare me to death!"
"Ha-ha, brother Li came for sister Liu Yan.
Unfortunately, sister Liu Yan is in seclusion because she's about to breakthrough! "
"Huh? Seclusion?"
Li Mo's heart was at ease. 'It seems she doesn't know I snuck out.'
"Eh?
What are you so happy about? "
Xuanyuan Qing was puzzled at Li Mo's smile.
"You brat, what do you know?
Go play. "
Li Mo ignored her and went to Xuanyuan Wudi's courtyard.
"Humph!
Who's a brat? I'm all grown up! "
Xuanyuan Qing made a face at Li Mo's back, pouting to express his dissatisfaction.
…
"You stinky brat, you finally came back?"
Xuanyuan Wudi knew when Li Mo entered Taiping Village.
Even before Li Mo entered the courtyard, his voice was already in Li Mo's mind!
Li Mo wasn't surprised Xuanyuan Wudi knew him like the back of his hand.
After all, he was a Martial Emperor.
"What are you talking about, Senior? I just went out to do something. I didn't come back as soon as I finished it!"
"Do something?
You're the one behind the Tiandu Auction House, right? "
Xuanyuan Wudi's words shocked Li Mo.
He didn't expect the news to spread here so quickly.
"Senior, I was indeed the one who did this, but that Iron Abacus plotted against me first, so you can't blame me!"
"It's his fault for plotting against you, but you've robbed him of all his assets.
It's not like you're losing out! "
"Hehe, Senior must be joking. If we want to develop in the future, we will definitely need a lot of money. I am also thinking about our future."
"Ha-ha … Li Mo, oh Li Mo, this is the first time I've heard someone talk about robbing others in such a dignified way.
However, I've heard of Iron Abacus' name. This person isn't a righteous person, so it's fine to kill him. There's nothing to feel pity about! "
"Senior, I didn't kill him.
I brought him back. I think you'll be interested in him! "
Xuanyuan Wudi was confused.
"I'm interested in him?"
"That's right. Senior, you may not know, but this old geezer is hard to deal with.
I had to use everything I had to defeat him, but he recognized the Xuanyuan Mirror at a glance.
And when I asked him why, he was so vague. I think he knows something, so I brought him here to see you! "
In a flash, Iron Abacus appeared before them.
Xuanyuan Wudi had been searching for his enemy for the past decade. Now that he had a lead, how could he control his emotions?
His eyes flashed as he stared at Iron Abacus!
"Li Mo, where are you? You've taken all my assets. What more do you want?"
"Iron Abacus, I let you out today because a senior is looking for you."
He pointed at Xuanyuan Wudi next to him.
Iron Abacus glared at the furious Xuanyuan Wudi.
"Who are you?
What business do you have with me, Iron Abacus? "
"Humph, who I am isn't important. I will ask you one thing and you must answer honestly.
Or I will make you wish you were dead! "
Iron Abacus' body shivered at the old man's words.
A sense of fear that he had never felt before arose spontaneously!
"Senior, ask away. I will tell you everything I know!"
"Tell me how you know about the Xuanyuan Mirror!"
Iron Abacus's expression changed drastically when he heard this.
"A-Xuanyuan Mirror?
W-what is it? I don't know what you're talking about! "
"Iron Abacus, I'm giving you a chance. If you tell me everything you know, I might consider letting you live!"
Seeing Iron Abacus not speaking, Li Mo tossed out another tempting offer.
"I don't know what you're talking about. How am I supposed to answer you?
What Xuanyuan Mirror? I've seen it before! "
"Iron Abacus, this is …"
"Little Mo, if he doesn't want to talk, I have my ways of finding out.
You can leave first! "
"Yes, senior!"
Li Mo was curious as to how Xuanyuan Wudi would make Iron Abacus talk, but he obeyed and left the room!
"Ah!"
…
Li Mo just stepped into the yard when Iron Abacus's screams echoed in the room.
And it was still going on!
"Heavens!
What kind of method did this old man use?
Is he going to be tortured? "
Li Mo rushed to the window and peered inside.
He was startled by what he saw.
Xuanyuan Wudi's hand was on Iron Abacus's head, his eyes closed. Who knew what he was doing, but Iron Abacus was suffering!
His body trembled incessantly, and white foam came out of his mouth. His eyes rolled back, and he looked like a patient who had lost his mind and was in extreme pain!
Xuanyuan Wudi removed his hand and opened his eyes, releasing a chilling aura.
Iron Abacus's body was limp like a noodle.
He was no longer breathing!
"Senior, he …"
"He's dead, but you did me a great favor this time.
I will be gone for a few days and Qing 'er will need your care. If I ever come back, I will thank you properly! "
"Senior, don't!
Do you know who your enemy is? Who is it?
Can you tell me? Maybe I can help you! "
Seeing Xuanyuan Wudi about to leave, Li Mo stopped him.
He was indebted to Xuanyuan Wudi, and was also Liu Yan and Bai Xiao's master.
Since his enemy dared to steal the Xuanyuan Mirror, they must be very strong. Li Mo wouldn't feel at ease if he went alone.
"Correct. I just used the Soul Search Art to steal Iron Abacus's memories. His master was one of the mysterious people involved.
These people are not people you can compare to. I appreciate your kindness.
But take care of Qing 'er for me! "
"Senior, it's been so many years. You don't need to be in such a hurry to get revenge.
What will Qing 'er do if something happens to you? You're her only family! "
Xuanyuan Wudi retracted his step.
Just as Li Mo said, Xuanyuan Qing was still a child.
In this world, he was the only grandfather left. If he really left this time, he would be
If he didn't come back …
Xuanyuan Wudi's mind was clouded by the hatred he had been holding in for more than a decade.
He only cared about revenge, forgetting about his granddaughter.
Right now, his mind was very chaotic and contradictory. He had completely lost the ability to think.
"Sigh!
Little Mo, what do you think I should do? "
"Senior, if we want to take revenge, we need to plan carefully!"
