Looking at Li Mo's earnest inquiry, and then at Qin Yuzhi, who was about to lose her mind, Shangguan Wencang and the Elders were not shocked at first, but rather fell into deep thought, trying to figure out what the words Li Mo was saying, which they all recognized, actually meant.

Huanshen Sect Leader Qin?

Your employee?

Grand Elder of Qingyuan Sect???

How in the world can these three terms appear on the same person? This is ridiculous!

"You wait, let me straighten this out..."

Shangguan Wencang and Elder Han He tried to understand, and then realized their comprehension skills needed improvement.

"Uh, I'd better start from the beginning."

Li Mo cleared his throat and said:

"Back then, seeing the people of Southern Border suffer for so long under the Demon Summoning Sect, and coincidentally, I needed the power of all living beings for a martial {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} art, so I allied with the Seniors of the Yao Race. As everyone knows, their Image Mimicking Martial Arts seem to be quite good..."

"Later, it was quite inexplicable, but I became the Demon-Calling Holy Child's maternal uncle..."

"So you started a new Sect?! To defraud the Demon Summoning Sect?"

Elder Han He's eyes widened, and he rolled up his sleeves.

He was completely dumbfounded by what he heard.

And Myriad Aspects Immortal Sect, and Yuanshi Tianzun, and even dragging Ice Cube to be the Saintess.

He even thought it sounded a bit reliable...

"Han He, look at you, getting anxious again."

Seeing the eccentric Elder Han He about to erupt, Shangguan Wencang quickly stopped him.

He took a deep breath, telling himself to calm down, before the Sect Master said:

"You continue."

"Actually, there's no exotic treasure at the bottom of Yunmeng Palace, only the former Huanshen... Demon Summoning Sect Leader, who is also Qin Yuzhi, but others would definitely not believe it, so I used a martial art that allows for Incarnation to kick a rock and lead them away..."

"Heh, those guys from the Demon Summoning Sect aren't very smart, they're probably still happily oblivious."

"......"

This time, it was Elder Zeng and the Hengyun Three Heroes who fell into deep thought.

So the hair they snatched...

It really was just a strand of hair! (Slamming sound)

The Sect Master and the Elder of Shenbing Peak felt their scalps tingle.

This kid... no, this beast is truly audacious, and his actions are too Shang Wu!

"Then I saw that Huanshen Sect Leader Qin was all alone with nowhere to go, and thought since we have a strategic partnership with the Demon Summoning Sect, and she's an Innate working Saint Body, why not absorb her into Myriad Aspects Immortal Sect."

"And having her as a Grand Elder in our Qingyuan Sect would also be the icing on the cake..."

"Beast, shut up!!"

Sect Master Shangguan lost his composure and almost swung his pipe to hit Li Mo's head.

Wouldn't that turn the ancestral foundation into a den?

Could the Sect still be called a Sect? At most, it would be called a corporation, and a super large one at that.

"Oh, right, Qingyuan Imperial Mausoleum..."

Qin Yuzhi looked up, and memories suddenly flooded her mind:

"I designed the Imperial Mausoleum, and at the entrance, I placed many statues imbued with Divine Intention to intimidate petty thieves and prevent tomb raiders. Why can't I see them now?"

So Qunyu Peak is the entrance to the Imperial Mausoleum?

Is she talking about those 관신 statues?

Li Mo looked at his Master.

"?"

Shang Wu touched her delicate nose, whistling and looking up at the sky at a Forty-five-degree angle.

Beautiful Master doesn't quite understand what you're saying.jpg

Well, it turns out the ancestral foundation was designed by her.

Shangguan Wencang's expression was complex. A Seventh Realm Controlling Mystery, many large Sects in Zhen Prefecture might not even have such an old monster within their Sect.

Immortal Realm was a legend, and the Heaven-Reaching Realm had vanished from the world.

The Seventh Realm was already the strongest overt foundation in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

But her identity was indeed too sensitive, too deeply involved.

"This matter is significant and requires careful consideration."

The Sect Master hurriedly returned to the main peak, unsure if he was going to discuss it with the true Grand Elder.

Elder Zeng of Hengyun Sword City and Bai Jinghong went to stay at Shenbing Peak for a while. The Hengyun Three Heroes were all on the Qianlong Ranking, and traveling from Ziyang Prefecture to Dijin was a bit closer.

And Elder Han He...

"Perfect, I'm not very good at playing, Senior, you come."

Li Mo gave up his seat and sat next to Ice Cube, ready to learn.

Elder Han He frowned: "This old man never participates in such group gambling, which leads to loss of ambition."

"hammer treasure, we already agreed before that we were going back to Shenbing Peak to forge?"

Li Mo suddenly mumbled.

Could this kid be interested in the art of metallurgy?

Oh, right, God Hammer Little Overlord...

Old Man Han He silently reversed into the parking spot and sat back down.

"Occasional entertainment, harmless."

"Shang Wu, today I shall let you know that the Qingyuan Sect's top mahjong player is someone else!"

And so.

The clattering sound of mahjong tiles rang out again.

The Qingyuan Sect's top mahjong player was indeed someone else; it wasn't Shang Wu, but it also wasn't Elder Han He.

After Li Mo left the table, Ice Cube played even better!

And then Xiao Li was still offering mahjong loans. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

One of them won money, the other lent money.

Dare you say this isn't a spousal scam?

Helplessly, for the sake of the other three players' experience, they had no choice but to switch back Xiao Li, who confidently believed he had mastered the game.

"It's all the same seat, why are my cards so bad?"

Li Mo mumbled, scratching his neck.

Ying Bing lowered her gaze and saw a few rays of sunlight filtering through the banyan tree, shining directly on Li Mo's neck, scattering dappled light.

Making the reddened spots particularly noticeable.

"Hahahaha, Hu! Give money, give money."

Li Mo was again the last one not to win, so he was a bit troubled.

Before he could reach out to scratch his neck, a sudden cool sensation came from there.

Hmm?

He turned his head and suddenly realized that at some point, he and Ice Cube were sitting very close, so close that she would be in his lap if they got any closer.

"Is it here?"

"Mm... there's another place that itches too."

"Where?"

"The other side."

Li Mo said somewhat guiltily.

"?"

What kind of posture would allow one to scratch both sides of the neck at the same time?

That would require standing up, standing behind him, and letting his head rest on her stomach...

Ying Bing dispelled the images in her mind and glanced at the neatly stacked mahjong tiles.

"You played several wrong tiles."

"Ah?"

Li Mo's eyebrows slightly rose, finding his already bad hand even worse. He smacked his lips, feeling a bit melancholic, unsure if it was because of mahjong or something else...

Then his cards got worse and worse.

This round, it felt like another loss.

Xiao Li's mouth twitched slightly, and he leaned his head back, hitting something soft and warm.

Was it a delusion?

His breathing seemed to carry a faint fragrance, and a cool sensation came from his neck.

He froze, looked back, and his cheek could even feel the graceful curve of her lower abdomen.

"Still itchy?"

"Not anymore."

Li Mo took a deep breath, inadvertently pushing aside the neatly arranged tiles. Then Elder Han He and the others opposite him first frowned, then their eyes widened.

"You won."

Ying Bing said, her trembling gaze not on the mahjong tiles.

He said it didn't itch anymore.

But had his itch perhaps spread to her, to a place she couldn't scratch?
