Old Five is a Goose.

Chapter 395: Once Familiar Seas

"Star Lord Mo, you should see it, all the alchemists above are of the Metal spiritual root. To be honest, if they were Wood or Fire spiritual roots, even a seventh-grade Celestial Alchemist wouldn't surprise me, but Metal spiritual roots becoming alchemists, and finding so many at once, it's simply incredible." Seeing Mo Wuji in thought, Yan Huimeng explained from the side.

She knew Mo Wuji came from the Lost Continent, which is why she deliberately inquired about Mo Tiancheng, and unexpectedly, there was a connection.

Following the row of alchemist names with Metal spiritual roots further down, Mo Wuji saw a sentence: "Lai Wanxing is despicable and shameless, secretly abducting almost all the Metal spiritual root alchemists of True Star. He wants to take us out of True Star. I escaped with a Longevity Escape Talisman hidden in my body, but I still cannot report this to Star Emperor Mountain..."

There were no more words after that, not even the name of the alchemist who escaped was left behind.

Mo Wuji could guess that this alchemist must have been exhausted after escaping and eventually died.

From the information above, it can be seen that Lai Wanxing abducted all these Metal spiritual root alchemists and took them out of True Star, probably to do something.

"What is Lai Wanxing's cultivation level?" After a long while, Mo Wuji suddenly asked.

Yan Huimeng replied, "Not only is his alchemy aptitude outstanding, but his cultivation aptitude is also unmatched. A hundred years ago, I heard that his strength had reached the ninth level of Human Immortal, and after a hundred years, I estimate that he should have crossed the Human Immortal realm."

"Thank you, Manor Lord, may I have this jade token?" Mo Wuji cupped his fists.

Yan Huimeng smiled charmingly, "It is my honor that Star Lord Mo can accept my things, why not?"

The jade token has the name Mo Tiancheng on it. Although Mo Wuji cannot deliberately spend time searching for Mo Tiancheng, if he encounters the people on this jade token in the future, he will still inquire about them.

"I came in haste this time, and I have disturbed you greatly..." Having inquired about everything he wanted to know, Mo Wuji prepared to take his leave.

Before Mo Wuji could say goodbye, Yan Huimeng proactively said, "Star Lord Mo, I heard that your Dao companion, Fairy Cen Shuyin, fell in the Thorny Wind Gate. Fairy Shuyin was a peerless beauty, virtuous and gentle, and was plotted against by villains and fell into a desperate situation, it is truly regrettable..."

Mo Wuji's eyes dimmed. He had been determined to bring Shuyin to her mother's side, but he had not yet done so. Perhaps subconsciously, he didn't want Shuyin to leave, which is why he wanted to flatten Wolf King Mountain in the starry sky.

What if he encountered the Starry Sky Wolf King? Maybe he would fall into the hands of the Starry Sky Wolf King before he could flatten Wolf King Mountain. Even if he could kill Cang Jue now, he still knew that he was definitely no match for the Starry Sky Wolf King.

Should he send Shuyin to her mother's side first, or keep Shuyin with him all the time?

Mo Wuji's eyes became dazed. He was indeed reluctant to let Shuyin leave. Even if Shuyin had already fallen, as long as he kept Shuyin by his side, he would have a sense of sustenance.

But is this what Shuyin wanted? In his hometown, they say that one should be buried for peace, he was being too selfish.

Mo Wuji sighed inwardly. He decided to send Shuyin to her mother's side in the Lost Continent for burial first, and then flatten Wolf King Mountain. In his previous life, he died at the hands of a woman, and in this life, a woman could die for him, what regrets did he have?

"Star Lord Mo, please take care." Seeing Mo Wuji's confused and sorrowful eyes, Yan Huimeng quickly offered a word of comfort.

Then she continued, "The path of cultivation is long and boundless. Without a confidant to accompany you, you not only lack spiritual sustenance, but also a sense of Heavenly Dao. Star Lord Mo, my disciple, Xi Yue, is passable in appearance and greatly admires Star Lord Mo. If Star Lord Mo is willing, I can act as a..."

Mo Wuji interrupted Yan Huimeng with a sigh, "Thank you for your kindness, Manor Lord. Junior Sister Xi Yue is a peerless beauty, gentle in nature. Whoever can gain Junior Sister Xi Yue's favor is a fortunate thing. I am also amazed by Junior Sister Xi Yue's appearance..."

Hearing Mo Wuji's words, Zhuang Xi Yue lowered her head even further, her face burning, and her heart beating wildly. If her master agreed, she would be willing to leave with him immediately.

Yan Huimeng naturally felt the excitement of her disciple beside her, and she sighed inwardly. Mo Wuji's words were fine, indeed praising Xi Yue, but that sigh gave her an ominous feeling.

Sure enough, Mo Wuji continued, "But my heart belongs to another. Besides Shuyin, I can no longer give my heart to anyone else. I believe that Junior Sister Xi Yue's future Dao companion will definitely surpass me by far."

After speaking, Mo Wuji stood up and bowed to Yan Huimeng and Zhuang Xi Yue.

Hearing Mo Wuji's last sentence, Zhuang Xi Yue's flushed face suddenly turned pale, and her heart became ice-cold. She had never thought that someone would reject her in front of her face. Was there something wrong with her?

Her path has always been arranged by her master. Even if she sometimes investigates some things herself, she has never involved herself in the feelings between men and women. Even she herself would not talk about such feelings. Becoming someone's Dao companion was all her master's arrangement. What she investigated were those men who might catch her master's eye. So she couldn't understand what the feelings of unwavering love were all about.

Her feelings for Mo Wuji were more of her master's influence and her admiration for Mo Wuji. As for the feelings between men and women, she had never even interacted with Mo Wuji, how could she understand?

Yan Huimeng was also a little annoyed. She understood some of the feelings between men and women, but as a cultivator, wasn't it more important to focus on one's own interests? As a cultivator, there wasn't enough time for cultivation every day, where would there be time to talk about love? Although she understood more than Zhuang Xi Yue, she still couldn't understand Mo Wuji's mentality. What did it mean to have one's heart belong to another? He just didn't like her disciple, and she didn't believe that Mo Wuji wouldn't look for a Dao companion in the future. If he didn't even like Xi Yue, probably no one in True Star could catch his eye.

"Star Lord Mo has unlimited potential and naturally wouldn't care about Xi Yue, it was my lack of consideration." Yan Huimeng also had a temper. No matter how great your Star Emperor Mountain Star Lord is, the most beautiful woman in my Heavenly Pond Manor is not without suitors.

Mo Wuji didn't care about Yan Huimeng's attitude at all, but when he saw Zhuang Xi Yue's slightly trembling body, he sighed again in his heart. He had unintentionally hurt another innocent woman.

This was not what he wanted at all. Thinking of this, Mo Wuji said again, "In my hometown, there is a saying, 'Once you have seen the sea, other waters are no longer water; once you have seen the clouds of Wushan, other clouds are no longer clouds...' Perhaps the water in other places is better, but in my heart, only the water of the sea is water. Although the clouds in other places are more beautiful, in my heart, only the clouds of Wushan are the most beautiful."

After speaking, Mo Wuji bowed and turned to leave.

This sentence was written by the Tang Dynasty poet Yuan Zhen. It can be said that this sentence expressed the deepest emotions in Mo Wuji's heart. However, Mo Wuji was extremely disdainful of Yuan Zhen. This was a fame-seeking person, a shameless person.

First abandoning the person he was betrothed to in order to marry another, and then writing this poem after his wife died. However, before the ink was dry, he married another woman again. That wasn't all, after remarrying, he still flirted with several other women. If it wasn't for the fact that this sentence really resonated with Mo Wuji's heart, he would have been too lazy to borrow it.

"Once you have seen the sea, other waters are no longer water; once you have seen the clouds of Wushan, other clouds are no longer clouds..." Zhuang Xi Yue murmured Mo Wuji's words to herself. This was the first time she had been touched in the deepest part of her heart by a sentence. What kind of persistence and love would it take to say such a thing?

Such a man, if she gave up, perhaps she would only be able to listen to her master's words and marry someone whose name she wouldn't even want to remember in this life. Why should she be disappointed? Wasn't this the man she hoped for? Did she hope to marry a fickle person?

"Brother Mo, may I ask where the sea and Wushan are?" Zhuang Xi Yue suddenly raised her head, looking at Mo Wuji with bright eyes.

The paleness on her face had disappeared. She could not fight for other things, but she had to fight for this. If that Senior Sister Shuyin was still alive, she would secretly bless them. Now that Senior Sister Shuyin was gone, why wouldn't she fight for it? Didn't her master often say that sometimes opportunities only flash before your eyes, and if you don't seize them, they will never come back.

Even Yan Huimeng noticed her disciple's expression and tone of voice. This time, she didn't call him Star Lord, but directly called him Brother Mo. It could be seen that her disciple was bravely searching for her sea and Wushan for the first time.

Mo Wuji stopped. He felt Zhuang Xi Yue's change and courage, but he really couldn't be with Zhuang Xi Yue, no matter how beautiful she was.

The sea and Wushan were just a longing and eternity in the heart, not referring to mountains and waters. Mo Wuji believed that Zhuang Xi Yue could understand, she was asking this just out of her obsession.

"The sea and Wushan are places in my hometown, and even I myself don't know if I can ever go back." Mo Wuji sighed.

He really didn't know if he could ever return to Earth. He didn't even know how he came to this planet True Star.

After saying this, Mo Wuji said nothing more and slowly walked out of the guest hall.

Zhuang Xi Yue watched Mo Wuji's back disappear outside the door, standing there for a long time.

After a long time, Zhuang Xi Yue suddenly said, "Master, I want to go out for a trial alone for a period of time."

Yan Huimeng stood beside Zhuang Xi Yue. She knew her disciple very well, she was gentle and obedient. But her heart also had a kind of persistence, and once she recognized this persistence, even she, as her master, could not force her. Maybe she could force her to listen to her arrangements, but what would be the point?

"Go ahead, let everything be predestined. Some things cannot be forced. Forcing them will go against your true heart, and going against your true heart will prevent you from making any further progress." Yan Huimeng said. Xi Yue was already in the late stage of Void God realm. She should be able to protect herself in a trial on True Star.

It was also time to let go. Marrying the Star Lord of Star Emperor Mountain was impossible, and marrying someone from another sect wouldn't help Heavenly Pond Manor much. What's more, it would make Xi Yue unhappy for the rest of her life.
