Creak …
The door opened, and Xuanyuan Qing stuck his head into the room.
Behind him were Chen Yuanyuan, Lu Xinyue, and Liu Jing.
"Qing 'er, why aren't you resting at this hour? What are you doing here?"
Li Mo hid behind the door and his sudden words startled Xuanyuan Qing.
"He-he … today is your and sister Liu Yan's big day. We didn't even have time to congratulate you at the wedding hall. That's why we came to see you!"
Li Mo's forehead darkened at Xuanyuan Qing's words.
"You wretched girl, do you think I don't know what you're here for?
Get in here and see how I deal with you! "
Li Mo feigned anger, scaring Xuanyuan Qing and the rest to the bone.
"Li Mo, you see, we're just worried you two won't be able to sleep at night, so we came to chat with you."
Liu Jing, who was standing at the back, hastily interrupted.
"Ha-ha … you're just messing around in the bridal room, yet you're making it sound so dignified.
Speak!
Whose idea was it? "
With their intentions exposed, they covered their mouths and giggled. Liu Yan's face was red and bashful.
Li Mo and Liu Yan were tossed around by the most active Xuanyuan Qing and Liu Jing until midnight before they left.
Lu Xinyue talked and laughed the whole time, fooling around with Xuanyuan Qing.
This made Li Mo very happy. At the very least, he wouldn't feel so awkward when he saw her again.
After a night of lovemaking, Li Mo opened his eyes early the next morning.
Looking at his lovely wife lying next to him, he recalled his life in the Mysterious Continent. It felt like a lifetime had passed.
But after going through so much, he finally got together with Liu Yan. Everything was worth it.
Li Mo got off the bed, afraid to disturb Liu Yan.
She had done so much for him for so long. Perhaps today was the best sleep she had ever had.
Li Mo pushed the door open and went to the living room.
He sensed a powerful aura approaching the Immortal Sun Sect.
And it was an old acquaintance, Grand Tutor Wu Daoling.
"Hey!
Little Mo, why aren't you with the bride? What are you doing here so early? "
Wan Ling snickered at Li Mo.
Although Wan Ling was already very old, she still had a child's heart and would often joke around with these juniors. This was something that was not uncommon in the Immortal Sun Sect.
"Grandaunt, please don't laugh at me."
Li Mo scratched his head in embarrassment.
Liu Changhe and Xuanyuan Wudi burst into laughter.
"Report!
Grand Preceptor Wu Daoling requests an audience. "
Just as they were chatting and laughing, a disciple hurriedly reported.
"Looks like our Little Mo woke up so early today because we have guests!"
Xuanyuan Wudi stroked his beard and beamed at Li Mo.
"Grandpa, that's right!
I think Wu Daoling came to bring us some good news. "
…
Wu Daoling came to the guest hall under the guidance of the sect disciples.
"Grand Preceptor Wu, please forgive me for not welcoming you earlier!"
Liu Changhe was as polite as ever, but Li Mo and the rest only nodded in greeting.
"Sect Leader Liu is too polite. I came today to inform you that the Nangong clan no longer exists.
Secondly, I came on His Majesty's behalf to give this to Li Mo. Please accept it as a gift from His Majesty.
We only found out last night that it was Li Mo's wedding day. Sadly, we didn't have the time to congratulate you. Please forgive us! "
He presented a jade box to Li Mo.
Li Mo wasn't surprised by the Nangong clan's destruction. Without Nangong Yun, the Nangong clan was no match for the imperial court.
But he didn't expect news of his marriage to reach Liu Jing's ears so quickly. Li Mo admired the imperial court's information network.
One never slapped a smiling face, even if Wu Daoling had done many bad things to the Immortal Sun Sect.
But Li Mo still accepted the gift with courtesy.
"Thank you, Grand Preceptor. Please thank Liu Jing for me."
"Not at all! Don't mind a small gift!"
Li Mo couldn't help but laugh at Wu Daoling's politeness.
A grand grandmaster of the continent ended up like this. Li Mo even felt sorry for him.
"Grand Preceptor Wu, please sit. Your imperial court has made a fortune."
"Ah … Li Mo, what do you mean?"
Wu Daoling didn't understand and looked at him with confusion.
"Ha-ha … Grand Preceptor, don't look at me like that. The Nangong clan is known as the first clan of the continent.
The foundation of the Nangong family is so deep, and now it has been destroyed in the hands of the imperial court. I presume that everything of the Nangong family has already become Liu Jing's! "
Wu Daoling's eye twitched at Li Mo's words. He knew what he meant.
"Oh!
It is as you say, the imperial court has gotten a lot of benefits from the Nangong clan.
But His Majesty has used it all to build the continent's infrastructure. We have not pocketed any of it. "
"Grand Preceptor has Liu Jing's best interests at heart. Your loyalty is truly admirable.
Since that's the case, I won't say anything else.
It just so happens that I am going to the Imperial City soon. I will pay Liu Jing a visit then. "
Li Mo's face revealed a pondering expression.
The Nangong clan's hundred years of foundation was more than enough to flip over every city in the continent.
He didn't believe Liu Jing would give up on such a fortune.
The reason he sent the imperial court to exterminate the Nangong clan was to reap the benefits without losing a single soldier. But who knew Liu Jing's appetite was so big, wanting to take it all for himself.
"D-don't. Let's talk.
When His Majesty left the Immortal Sun Sect, he was still recovering from his injuries. You won't be able to see him even if you go to the Imperial City.
If you have something to say, I will pass it on. "
Wu Daoling was frightened by Li Mo's methods even though he wasn't weaker than him.
But Bai Yichen was still in the Immortal Sun Sect. The last time they fought, he saw the gap between them.
They were both grandmasters, but not in the same league.
"Alright!
Since the Grand Preceptor can represent Liu Jing, I'll speak frankly.
If Nangong Yun doesn't die, your imperial court will be powerless against the Nangong clan.
Therefore, I want half of the Nangong clan's wealth. Liu Jing will surely agree to such a simple request! "
Xuanyuan Wudi and the rest couldn't hide their excitement at this.
But Wu Daoling's face turned green when he heard this.
"Li Mo, the imperial court may have lost to your Immortal Sun Sect.
But don't forget, the Liu clan has the final say in the Mysterious Continent.
Don't you think this is too much? "
"Too much?
Why should I hand over the matter of exterminating the Nangong clan to the imperial court?
Don't you know?
Do you think the Immortal Sun Sect doesn't have the power?
Isn't the reason why you're doing this? Isn't it because you want to stop the fight between us? "
Li Mo spoke with a straight face.
But in Wu Daoling's eyes, he was so cunning.
He was the one who wanted to reap the benefits, yet he made it sound so dignified.
Instead, the imperial court seemed to owe him a big favor.
But Wu Daoling didn't dare voice his anger.
