Mortals: Take Mo Juren at the start

Chapter 926 Choice

"Si Meng?" Wan Chongyang was stunned for a moment, then sighed softly.

"Why are you coming here instead of practicing in Qiongxian Garden?"

"I dreamed of my ancestors." The little girl said with red eyes and a choked voice.

"When I fell asleep just now, I dreamed that the ancestor returned safely to Qiongxian Garden. She also told me to practice well so that I could protect the family in the future. I was really sad, so I came to the garden to get some fresh air, and I happened to see Grandpa Jiu."

"Protect the family!" Upon hearing this, Wan Chongyang felt very uncomfortable, but at the same time, he also felt a bit of hope.

Their generation had already reached its limit, with almost no possibility of further advancement, but there were many good talents among the younger generations of the family, especially the girl in front of them, who was a genuine cultivator with natural spiritual roots.

These younger generations are the real hope of the family. As long as they are carefully cultivated, everything will be promising in the future.

Thinking of this, he became even more determined and absolutely could not agree to Wan Chongshan's proposal.

"You go back first. Also, remember, stay in Qiongxian Garden during this period of time and don't come out unless you hear my order." As if he had thought of something, Wan Chongyang immediately gave a solemn instruction.

"Don't worry, Grandpa Jiu. I know." Although Wan Simeng didn't understand what was going on, she knew there must be a reason why the other party said so. She didn't ask anything, but just nodded obediently and turned to leave.

Looking at the little figure that was gradually moving away, Wan Chongyang seemed to have made some kind of decision. He immediately took out a mysterious token that was emitting a strange bloody light, and then murmured:

“Maybe this is the only way!”

As he spoke, he activated the token and then sent out a message.

……

At the same time, the girl Wan Simeng who left the garden has returned to Qiongxian Garden again.

This was once the residence of Aunt Wan San, located at the core of the entire Wan family's underground spiritual vein, and is an excellent place for cultivation.

The famous "Great Sumeru Five Elements Formation" is arranged on the outskirts of Qiongxian Garden.

This formation possesses an extremely terrifying illusionary ability. Unless one's spiritual consciousness reaches the late Nascent Soul stage and has a deep understanding of the formation, once one falls into it, one will be completely trapped to death.

As the most beloved descendant of Wan Sangu, Wan Simeng is naturally an exception. She has a token to enter and exit the formation, and she also has her own exclusive room in it, where she lives and practices.

She used to be very happy with this kind of honor, but until recently, when the news of her ancestor's death came back, she felt like the sky was falling.

Now she was in Qiongxian Garden, and she felt extremely lonely and deserted, which made her extremely uncomfortable and she even thought about moving out.

You have to know that although she is extremely talented, her parents died early and she has few relatives close to her. The only person she can rely on is her ancestors.

She was naturally aware of her special physique. If it weren't for the protection of her ancestors, she would have almost no future.

  But now that something happened to her ancestor, she suddenly became at a loss and didn't know how to deal with it.

I just went to the back garden. Dreaming was only one of the reasons. The main reason was that I was feeling depressed and subconsciously wanted to go out and relax. As a result, I ended up there unknowingly.

Wan Simeng's mind was full of thoughts. All kinds of ideas appeared in her mind, attacking her rationality again and again, making her a little confused.

In a trance, she walked to a small lake, surrounded by all kinds of exotic flowers and plants. The lake water was as clear as a mirror, and dense groups of colorful fish swam around, making the lake look full of life.

There is a pavilion built next to the lake. It is not big in size, but its shape is very unique and unforgettable.

She originally wanted to sit in the pavilion for a while to calm her mind.

However, when his gaze turned to the inside of the pavilion, his expression suddenly changed. There was a figure sitting there, a middle-aged man wearing a black brocade robe and with an extremely cold face.

  She was sure that she had never seen the other person before. Of course, this was not important. The key was how did this person get in?

No one knows better than her how powerful the defenses of Qiongxian Garden are. According to the ancestor, even if there are only a few late Nascent Soul masters in the starry sea, they will never succeed if they do not have enough understanding of the formation.

It is obviously impossible for the two Holy Lords of the Star Palace to do so, and the newly appeared Fairy Leqing is a female cultivator, while on the side of the Anti-Star Alliance, Liudao and the Ancestor have all met with trouble.

  Obviously it is not these people, then who is sitting in the pavilion now?

With a heart full of anxiety and doubt, Wan Simeng took light steps and slowly walked into the pavilion.

Now that they were closer, it was naturally easier for her to see the other person's face clearly. At that moment, her heartbeat instinctively quickened.

"This... this senior, you are..." Wan Simeng was certainly not stupid. No matter who the other person was, he was definitely not an ordinary person to be able to enter Qiongxian Garden quietly.

Naturally, she would not be so foolish as to question the other party, but just carefully tried to find out his background.

"You have a good character!" Mo Juren glanced at the other person and commented nonchalantly, then waved his hand and a jade slip emerged.

"Take a look at this first, and then you will understand everything."

Looking at the jade slip on the table, Wan Simeng became more and more confused, but she did not hesitate. She immediately picked up the jade slip and began to examine it carefully.

After just a moment, she had finished reading the contents. When she raised her head again, her eyes were already bloodshot.

There is hatred, but there is more unspeakable complexity.

The person in front of her turned out to be the murderer of her ancestor. She was naturally filled with resentment, but as she had lost both her parents when she was young, her ancestor was the person closest to her.

However, thinking of the other party's strength, the endless hatred was filled with fear and despair.

She really had no confidence in revenge, not to mention that everything was laid out in the open, which made her even more at a loss.

These are nothing. The key point is that the ancestor actually emphasized more than once in the message that her death was voluntary and had nothing to do with the person in front of her. She even asked her to swear with her heart that she would never mention revenge in this life, and she must not retaliate against the person in front of her, their relatives and friends, and Xinggong.

This almost completely cut off her possibility of revenge, but in an instant, she figured out the reason and understood the good intentions of her ancestors. If she didn't do this, she wouldn't be able to survive, and the other party would not hesitate to kill her.

Even if the other party is kind and willing to let her go, there will still be no hope of revenge in the future. The reason is very simple. Given her own special circumstances, she is completely a piece of fat meat. Without the protection of a strong person, she will not survive long.

The ancestor asked him to swear, wasn't this also an opportunity to find a powerful backer for himself?

Even though this person has a special identity and is the enemy of her ancestors, she is willing to give up everything in order to grow up safely.

After realizing all this, the girl could no longer suppress the sadness and longing in her heart. She immediately squatted down, covered her face with her hands and burst into tears.

Mo Juren naturally saw everything, but he did nothing and said nothing. He just drank tea and admired the beautiful scenery of the lake.

Nearly half an hour passed before the girl's crying gradually stopped. When she raised her head again, her pretty face with tears in her eyes looked even more pitiful.

"Are you done crying?" Putting down the teacup in his hand, Mo Juren asked calmly.

"I'm sorry for my momentary loss of composure, senior." Wan Simeng nodded gently. It was obvious that her crying had released the suppressed emotions that had been in her heart for months, and she felt a lot more relaxed.

But at the same time, she thought about her own situation again. Although the ancestor mentioned a solution, whether the person in front of her would agree was another matter. She knew that her life or death depended on the other person's thoughts.

  "It's understandable that it's hard to accept the death of a loved one." Mo Juren nodded.

"Now that you've finished crying, why don't you tell me what you think?"

  "You, you won't kill me?" Wan Simeng asked softly with a nervous tone. After all, swearing according to the instructions of the ancestors can indeed eliminate the possibility of revenge for herself, but nothing is absolute in the world. What if there are some incomprehensible unexpected situations?

Although this possibility is extremely small, no one can be 100% sure. Only by killing oneself directly can the trouble be eliminated forever.

"What? Do you want to die?" Mo Juren smiled meaningfully. As expected, after hearing this, Wan Simeng suddenly became incoherent.

"No...no, I just...just..."

"Hate it?" Mo Juren asked again with a flicker in his eyes.

  "Hate!" After hesitating for a moment, Wan Simeng replied decisively, but then changed the subject.

"Although I am resentful, I will never disobey the orders of my ancestor, nor do I want to disappoint her expectations. If she doesn't allow me to take revenge, then I won't take revenge."

"You are quite honest." Mo Juren laughed. Such an answer did not surprise him. After all, according to Wan Sangu, this girl almost grew up by her side, and the feelings between the two were very deep. If the other party really answered that she did not hate him, that would be truly hypocritical.

As he spoke, he flipped his palm again, took out the phoenix-patterned jade pendant, and then pushed it forward and said,

"Although I have promised Aunt Wan San, it is still up to you to decide what to do in the end. I will not force you. If you really don't want to leave with me, you can stay in the Wan family."

"I am willing to follow you, senior. I also swear on my heart that I will never be an enemy of you, my relatives and friends, or the Xinggong in this life..." This time Wan Simeng did not hesitate at all. He gave the answer immediately and swore a poisonous oath.

Staying in the Wan family? That would be no different from seeking death. It wasn't that she didn't believe in the family, but that she didn't believe in human nature.

My situation is too special, and it is an irresistible temptation for any old monster who is nearing the end of his life. That is why the ancestor kept me by his side, firstly to facilitate training, and secondly to provide me with personal protection.

Apart from him, no one else can be absolutely trusted, not even his own people.

But the person in front of him is different. He is the way out that the ancestors specially arranged for him. He may not believe what others say, but he can absolutely believe in her.

Especially when she saw the phoenix-patterned jade pendant, she was even more certain that the jade slip left by her ancestor was definitely not fake.

"Are you sure you don't regret it? You should know that the Yuanling body is a great temptation to any male cultivator, and I am no exception." Mo Juren asked with a sneer, his eyes flashing.

"I... I believe in the ancestors, and I also believe in the former... master." As expected, when this point was mentioned, Wan Simeng's body shook instinctively, and her voice trembled a little, but her expression was still stubborn, and she even changed the way she addressed him.

This made Mo Juren look at him with new eyes. It was indeed very rare for someone to still stick to his own opinion under such circumstances.

"As long as you don't regret it, pack your things and leave with me later."

"Master, can I...can I notify the elders at home?" Wan Simeng felt a little nervous as she fumbled with the phoenix-patterned jade pendant in her hand. She was even more worried that she would leave so quietly and make her clansmen worry.

After all, she is also a member of the Wan family. The whole family is facing a turbulent time right now, and she really doesn't want to stir up any more waves.

Of course, there is another reason, which is to let the elders in the family know the identity of the person he is going to follow.

The Anti-Star Alliance is completely finished, and the Star Palace will be the only dominant force in the future. If the Wan family can take this opportunity to establish some relationship with the person in front of them, it will be of great benefit to the future development of the Wan family.

Even if it requires a huge price, if the elders in the family knew the master's identity, they would definitely be willing to do it.

  "Okay, go ahead." Mo Juren looked at the other party meaningfully, and then agreed to the other party's request. However, before the other party could say thank you, he said again,

"Since you have acknowledged me as your master, you are one of us. If you have any ideas in the future, just tell me directly. I will consider whether you agree or not. As for being clever, it is better not to play tricks on me."

  "My Lord, please forgive me. I..." Wan Simeng's face changed drastically. She was about to explain, but was interrupted by the other party.

"No need to say more, forget it this time, it won't happen again."

"Thank...thank you very much, my lord!" After hearing this, Wan Simeng's heart was finally at ease, but she was still afraid.

I underestimated the master's wisdom and almost made a big mistake. I have to be more careful in the future.

She did not hesitate and turned and left immediately. However, when her figure disappeared from Qiongxian Garden, a strange smile suddenly appeared on Mo Juren's face.

Even at this time, he still did not forget to seek benefits for the family, which can be regarded as loyalty and righteousness. It's a pity that he is still too young, or maybe he was protected too well by Wan Sangu, and became a greenhouse flower, not knowing the ugliness of human nature in this world.

This is actually not a bad idea. Let him experience it for himself. On the one hand, it will help his mental growth, and secondly, he can take the opportunity to see the true side of the Wan family.

As he was thinking this, he suddenly realized something and looked in a certain direction.

"With such momentum, he must be at the peak of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. He came quite quickly and is obviously very anxious. Now that everything has come together, it's just right for us to watch a good show."
