Qin Shi: I went astray in the Heavenly Sect

Chapter 237 The Mo Family Arrives, Operation Quicksand

"Judging from Gai Nie's words, it was the method of the Moon Goddess of the Yin Yang School."

Yan Lingji had heard Gai Nie mention the Sleep-Sealing Curse on Tianming's body, so she added a comment after hearing Qingxu's words.

"Moon Goddess~~"

This was an unfamiliar name to Xiang Yu and Tianming, but it was no ordinary name to Xiang Liang and Fan Zeng.

One of the two great protectors of the Yin-Yang School, his strength is unfathomable, and now he is also one of the empire's national guardian magicians.

"The Right Protector of the Yin-Yang School?"

Xiang Liang frowned. In the current martial arts world, it seemed that few forces were willing to get involved with the Yin Yang School, because the Yin Yang School acted strangely, was ruthless and left no room for maneuver, and had a very bad reputation.

Qingxu seemed to sense something, and immediately looked up at the other side of the room. The door was slowly pushed open, and a little girl stepped out.

Seeing a new face in the courtyard, Yue'er felt a little strange. However, seeing that Xiang Liang and Yan Lingji and the others showed no hostility, she could tell whether the newcomer was friend or foe.

After thinking for a moment, Yue'er said, "The treatment is complete. Sister Rong said that the uncle will wake up in a little while."

Upon hearing Yue'er's words, Tianming's eyes lit up immediately, and he completely forgot about what Yan Lingji had said earlier.

"Is the uncle alright?"

After saying this, the little guy made a move to run into the house, but the next moment, he felt his feet lighten and he was lifted up.

"Little brother, the patient needs to rest. Aren't you afraid something will happen to Gai Nie if you rush in like this?"

When Tianming looked up, he met Yan Lingji's eyes and heard what she said. He gave an awkward smile.

"Isn't there still that legendary healer?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Lingji smiled and shook her head.

"Little one, now you know to call him the Immortal Healer."

Tianming chuckled, then nodded his head vigorously.

Seeing Tianming struggling to get down, Yan Lingji didn't make things difficult for him. She loosened her grip and put him back on the ground.

"Although Miss Rong is here, Gai Nie's injuries are quite serious. When you go in to check on him later, remember to keep quiet."

After thinking for a moment, Yan Lingji couldn't help but add a sentence.

Upon hearing this, Tianming blinked and then nodded.

"understood."

Watching the little guy rush into the house without looking back, Xiang Yu's lips twitched. Then he glanced at Yan Lingji without leaving a trace. Seeing that she didn't seem angry, he couldn't help but shake his head inwardly.

If Tianming could remain calm, that would be truly a miracle.

Then, an accident still happened. Just as Tianming was about to push the door open, he accidentally bumped into Duanmu Rong, who was walking out.

Seeing this clumsy young man, Duanmu Rong frowned.

"Your uncle is still in critical condition. If you really want something to happen to him, then keep acting recklessly!"

Tianming rubbed his head, about to say something, but inadvertently met Duanmu Rong's cold eyes, and couldn't help but swallow.

To be honest, he was still a little intimidated by this aloof girl.

"Hehe~~"

"No, I'll be careful."

Upon hearing this, Duanmu Rong did not make things difficult for the little guy. From his eyes and brows, she had guessed some things. Back then, the wandering knight and the girl had also come to the medical manor to escape their enemies.

When Nian Duan saw that the girl was weak, she took them in. She remembered that the two of them stayed at the medical clinic for two or three months before Yan Dan took them away.

Then came the assassination attempt that shocked the world. The true intentions were revealed, and the sword was aimed at the emperor. Unfortunately, the assassination attempt failed in the end, and was stopped by Gai Nie.

Then Duanmu Rong walked outside. When she saw the young man in the courtyard, a smile suddenly appeared in the eyes of this usually aloof girl.

"You've arrived~~"

Qingxu nodded.

The gears of fate have begun to turn, a new story has begun, and naturally he has to go down the mountain to take a look.

"Not bad, you haven't neglected your cultivation either."

Qingxu glanced at Duanmu Rong a few times, and seemed to have sensed something, his expression quite sentimental.

In chaotic times, cultivation is fundamental. Although Mirror Lake Medical Manor has its own legacy, it cannot completely guarantee that those in the martial arts world will not harm it. If the girl in front of us has weak cultivation, there is still a risk.

Upon hearing Qingxu's words, Duanmu Rong opened her mouth, but no sound came out.

In the medical clinic, it was usually just her and Yue'er. She was already a woman of few words, and after Nian Duan passed away, there were even fewer people she could exchange a few words with.

She was naturally happy to see Qingxu, but for a moment she didn't know what to say.

Seeing Duanmu Rong's reaction, Yan Lingji stood aside, secretly smiling.

Actually, it's not just Duanmu Rong; even Qingxu doesn't talk much. It's interesting to think about two such quiet people getting together.

Just then, an elderly man with a full head of silver hair walked in from outside the door.

He was somewhat surprised to see so many people in the courtyard. They seemed not to have expected there to be so many people there, including two he had never seen before.

"Miss Rong, Brother Xiang, Mr. Fan, who are these two gentlemen?"

When Xiang Liang and Fan Zeng saw the newcomer, their eyes flickered slightly.

They then turned to look at Duanmu Rong. Duanmu Rong was the master of the medical manor, and with her present, it was best for her to explain the identities of Qingxu and Yanlingji.

As for whether Duanmu Rong wants to explain their identities, that's up to her. If Duanmu Rong is unwilling to speak, they won't interfere.

When navigating the world, there are certain rules in some situations, and they would never do anything that would overshadow the host.

When Duanmu Rong saw Xiang Liang and the other person looking over, she naturally guessed what they meant. However, she was unsure whether or not she should introduce Qingxu and Yan Lingji.

After thinking for a moment, she looked at Qingxu and Yanlingji standing to the side and gave them a look, indicating that they could decide the matter themselves.

Looking at the other person's mechanical arm, Qingxu immediately guessed their identity: Master Ban, a master of the Mo family's mechanical arts. He didn't have much ill will towards this person; an old man who seemed muddle-headed on the outside but was shrewd on the inside, was Tianming's mentor in mechanical arts.

"Taoist Heavenly Sect - Qingxu".

Yan Lingji glanced at Master Ban but didn't speak. Instead, she moved closer to Qingxu to show her identity.

Upon hearing Qingxu's words, Master Ban's expression changed.

The Taoist Heavenly Sect is an extremely mysterious sect in the martial arts world, possessing immense strength, especially with two Grandmasters residing within its ranks, making it untouchable by anyone in the martial arts world.

What alarmed him even more was that the person in front of him was none other than Qingxu, one of the two grandmasters of the Heavenly Sect.

"Greetings, Master Qingxu!"

Master Ban bowed slightly. He showed due respect to the strong, especially the kind of strong who stood at the pinnacle of the martial arts world, and did not look down on Qingxu because of his age.

"I am a member of the Mohist school. I am honored by the friends in the martial arts world who call me Master Ban. Young people like to call me Old Man Ban."

When Yan Lingji heard Master Ban's words, she found them quite interesting. Few people could be so uninhibited in public, but this old man was much more casual.

"The master of the Mo family's mechanical arts truly deserves the title of 'master.' Apart from the domineering mechanical arts of the Gongshu family, no one else in the martial arts world can rival the Mo family."

Qingxu was very interested in mechanical arts. According to the events in the story, the things that the Mo family created using mechanical arts were extremely magical and could go anywhere, from the sky to the sea.

For example, the Vermilion Bird can soar through the sky without needing a special power source, and the Black Tortoise can move underwater; their mystique is hard to describe in words.

Upon hearing Qingxu's words, Master Ban chuckled.

"The master is too kind; it's just some mediocre stuff."

Of course, that's what he said, but Master Ban couldn't help but laugh a couple more times, looking quite pleased.

Everyone likes to hear praise. Especially when such praise comes from a Taoist master, it's hard not to be pleased.

Then Master Ban gave Xiang Liang and Fan Zeng a wink, and the two of them clasped their hands in greeting and walked with him out of the courtyard.

Master Ban also clasped his hands in greeting to Qingxu and the others. With Qingxu's prestigious reputation at the Medical Manor, there weren't many people in the martial arts world who dared to cause trouble here. Now that the main character had arrived, he had even less to say.

After the group left the courtyard and arrived at Mirror Lake, Master Ban couldn't help but ask, "Brother Xiang Liang, what exactly is the situation with this Master Qingxu?"

No one dares to take a Grandmaster lightly. Even now, with the arrival of the Mo family's leader, the same applies. In other words, if the leaders of various families knew about this matter, they would be extremely cautious.

"This"

Hearing Master Ban's words, Xiang Liang scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly. They had only met Qingxu not long ago, and they had no idea what he had come to the medical manor for.

"Master Ban, Master Qingxu only arrived recently. He suddenly appeared while Miss Rong was treating Gai Nie. As for the specific reason, we have no idea. A Grandmaster is not someone we can afford to offend."

When this matter was mentioned, Fan Zeng's words carried a hint of bitterness.

Even if the other party has a special purpose in coming here, it is not something they can find out. Back when the Xiang family was famous throughout the Chu Kingdom, Xiang Yan was unwilling to offend such a person, but only to befriend him. Let alone now.

Upon hearing this, Master Ban's eyes flashed with understanding. He could understand the matter; if Qingxu didn't want to say the reason, no one could force him to.

"After several years of investigation, it has been found that Master Qingxu's relationship with the Empire is not good. Ying Zheng has invited him to come out of seclusion several times, but Master Qingxu has refused in the end. Even a few days ago, Ying Zheng sent someone to Taiyi Mountain."

Fan Zeng stroked his beard and sighed.

"The Heavenly Sect seeks the Great Dao of the unity of heaven and man, and emphasizes seclusion and cultivation. What they pursue is not something the Empire can satisfy. Especially Master Qingxu, who has already entered the ranks of Grandmasters at a young age. It would be almost impossible for Ying Zheng to win him over."

After these past few years, they have all had their own opinions on the relationship between the Empire and the Heavenly Sect. It is absolutely impossible to say that the Heavenly Sect, being located within the Qin Kingdom, is a den of snakes and rats.

The Heavenly Sect emerged from the world, while the Human Sect entered the world. The two sects have fundamentally different doctrines, which means that the Heavenly Sect will not become a sword in Ying Zheng's hand.

Upon hearing Fan Zeng's words, Master Ban nodded.

Previously, he had heard some things from the current leader of the Mohist school, who was also the Crown Prince Dan of Yan. The other party had almost no interest in fame or fortune. He had tried to win him over several times, but all his attempts ended in failure.

This extraordinary person, born into the Heavenly Sect, seemed completely out of place in this world.

"Let's put Master Qingxu's matter aside for now! We're here today because the Mohist school received intelligence that the Quicksand has reappeared in the martial world and has begun mobilizing its forces. Mirror Lake is probably in danger."

When Xiang Liang and Fan Zeng heard about this, their faces darkened.

After a while, Xiang Liang said in a deep voice, "Does Wei Zhuang really dare to make a move at Jinghu Medical Manor? Isn't he afraid of angering Master Qingxu? Besides, Master Qingxu is currently in the manor. If he dares to come, it's uncertain who will deal with whom!"

Upon hearing this, Master Ban subconsciously rubbed his nose.

Before coming here, he really didn't expect Qingxu to appear in Jinghu Medical Manor. Now that Qingxu is here, the possibility of Wei Manor causing trouble here is extremely slim.

"Besides this matter, the Grand Master also entrusted me with another task. He and other fellow martial artists are planning something big, and he asked me to invite the heroes of the Xiang clan to the Mechanized City for a discussion."

Master Ban looked at the clear lake water, then turned around and said.

Upon hearing this, Xiang Liang and Fan Zeng exchanged a glance.

The city of government offices.

That was the Mo family's stronghold. Now that the Mo family's leader had invited them to the Mechanical City, it must be something very important, otherwise they wouldn't have chosen that place as the meeting location.

"This matter."

Xiang Liang pinched his chin, his eyes flickering uncertainly.

The Mechanized City is the stronghold of the Mohists, known as the most fortified fortress in the world. Overall, its safety is not a problem, since the Mohists are also staunchly anti-Qin, and so are they. Therefore, it is unlikely that any unpleasant things will happen during the trip to the Mechanized City.

However, the Mechanized City is ultimately the territory of the Mo family. If the Mo family has other intentions, it will be difficult for them to leave.

Xiang Liang was a military strategist, and putting himself in a dangerous situation was not a wise choice under any military strategy.

"General Liang, I don't think this matter is a big problem. However, if we don't have a guide, I'm afraid we won't be able to enter the Mechanized City."

Upon hearing this, Master Ban stroked his beard and smiled.

"Mr. Fan, you are overthinking it. The Xiang family are friends of our Mo family. When you arrive at the Mechanical City, just tell the Mo family brothers that you are guests invited by the Grand Master, and they will not make things difficult for you."

"However, there is something that worries me. On the way here, I noticed many faces that shouldn't be there around Mirror Lake. If you leave, you'll have to be extra careful."

"What does Master Ban mean?"

"Those martial arts practitioners certainly wouldn't dare to make a move here at Mirror Lake, but they would once they left the Mirror Lake Medical Manor."
