"Is your grandma still alive?" Mo Wuji felt more and more guilty. He knew that if he hadn't been so obsessed with researching the meridian opening solution and ignoring everything else, he wouldn't have lost Wen Xiaoqi, nor would he have allowed her to live a life of sadness and loneliness.

Mo Wuji also clearly understood that without these things, he wouldn't be who he was today. Without the meridian opening solution, even if he was reborn, he would just be another lost soul.

He wasn't wrong to research the meridian opening solution; the mistake was in being an ostrich, not thinking about Wen Xiaoqi.

Mo Qingche shook his head. "My grandma passed away a long time ago. Grandma and Grandpa used to study at Changluo First High School. After Grandma passed, I came here to be a teacher."

"Then where is your grandma buried? What about your parents?" Mo Wuji continued to ask.

Mo Qingche replied, "My dad failed in his business, racking up a lot of debt. Then he tried his luck at the casino, but lost everything completely. My mom also died of depression. In the end, my dad owed the casino even more money, and they chopped off his hands. He eventually died in the hospital. My grandma had been in Jingyang, but when she heard the news, she secretly took me away. Otherwise, with the casino's ruthlessness, I wouldn't have fared much better.

"After Grandma passed away, I buried her on Jingshou Mountain, as she wished, together with Grandpa. Unexpectedly, Grandpa's tombstone was actually made of pure jade. After it was discovered, the place became a digging site. I quickly moved Grandma's remains to a small village in Changluo City. What's strange is that Grandpa's bones were gone; the tomb was empty. Because the Diyuan Star was discovered, the casino seemed to focus its energy on Diyuan Star, so I dared to return to Grandma's alma mater to teach."

Mo Wuji was stunned, realizing his descendants had lived such a difficult life.

"What about your father's remains?" Mo Wuji sighed inwardly.

"My father's and mother's ashes were scattered in the sea. That's what Father asked Grandma to do before he died."

"Take me to see your grandma," Mo Wuji said, feeling a surge of sadness that he could barely suppress. His slowly healing consciousness sea slowed down again.

Mo Qingche shook her head. "You don't need to worry about my grandma's affairs, and you don't need to pay your respects. I'll do it every Qingming Festival. Now, I need to give you something. This is what the Xia family wants from me. I'd rather throw it away than give it to the Xia family."

After speaking, Mo Qingche turned around, grabbed a shovel from the corner of the door, opened the door, and removed the doormat. She started digging right at the door. The cement was quickly pried open, and she dug out a box, then swept the cement back in place.

Mo Wuji was speechless. Mo Qingche really went to great lengths, actually hiding things outside the house.

Mo Qingche opened the box and took out a plastic bag. The plastic bag was wrapped in several layers. After opening it, there were several yellowish papers inside, filled with writing. Besides that, there was also a well-preserved diary.

"This was left behind by Grandma. The diary is also Grandma's. You are a male descendant of the Mo family, so I'll give these to you," Mo Qingche said, handing the yellowish papers and the diary to Mo Wuji.

Mo Wuji didn't open the diary. His gaze fell on the yellowish papers, and he immediately understood. The contents of these papers were the partial, damaged formula for the meridian opening solution that he had obtained. Besides his own research, his meridian opening solution was also based on a damaged formula.

He had obtained that damaged formula by chance. Now that he saw it again, he realized that Wen Xiaoqi had found a way to give it to him. This was a copy; the original had already been destroyed by him.

"This solution formula is very precious. I heard that Grandpa was killed by that Xia Ruoyin because of this formula. Take it and leave immediately. If you have the chance in the future, get the rest of this formula. Maybe the Mo family can prosper in your hands," Mo Qingche said earnestly.

Mo Wuji stroked the formula and the diary in his hand. After a long time, he put them into his ring.

"Where did you put the things?" Mo Qingche looked at Mo Wuji in amazement, suspecting that he was a magician. The things disappeared suddenly.

Mo Wuji didn't answer Mo Qingche's question. Instead, he asked, "You said that it was someone from the Xia family who wanted the formula. After you give me the things, what will you do if the Xia family comes looking for you?"

Mo Qingche shook her head. "I have no choice. I can only leave immediately. We shouldn't travel together; you go your way, and I'll go mine. I've given you the things. Although you and I share a grandfather, I'm very poor right now and don't have any money to support you."

"Do you think the Xia family will let you go? I suspect there are people from the Xia family watching outside this apartment complex," Mo Wuji said, not suspecting. He didn't even need to extend his spiritual will to be sure.

"Nothing is a big deal except death. What kind of storms haven't I, Mo Qingche, seen? What's there to be afraid of? If you're afraid, you can leave first," Mo Qingche said dismissively.

"Pack up what you need and leave with me. Take me to see where your grandma rests," Mo Wuji sighed.

Mo Qingche didn't object. She said straightforwardly, "Alright. Oh, right, after talking for so long, I still don't know your name. I can't just call you 'cousin', can I?"

Mo Wuji stared blankly at Mo Qingche. It seemed that Wen Xiaoqi's image reappeared in front of him. The memories of their time together in Changluo.

"Hey, I'm asking you a question. What are you staring at me for?" Mo Qingche was very unhappy with Mo Wuji for not answering her question.

"My name is Mo Wuji."

Mo Qingche had just picked up her water glass, wanting to take a sip. After hearing Mo Wuji's answer, she hadn't even swallowed the water in her mouth, and it sprayed out directly.

However, the water didn't splash on Mo Wuji; it fell on the ground.

"You said your name is Mo Wuji? You have the same name as Grandpa..." Mo Qingche suddenly didn't dare to think any further. Because even the most unfilial person wouldn't dare to take the same name as their grandfather. Unless the other person was her grandfather, which was absurd.

Mo Wuji nodded very seriously. "I am indeed Mo Wuji. Just as you guessed, I am your grandfather."

"Are you someone from the Xia family? Here to trick me out of my things?" Mo Qingche shouted sharply.

Mo Wuji sighed. "This is a bit unbelievable, but it really happened. Listen to me..."

...

On a hillside in Jingshou Mountain, four men in black stopped Tan Zhenman.

Tan Zhenman had come here to find Mo Wuji, and she never expected to be stopped by four men in black.

"What are you doing?" After her initial panic, Tan Zhenman calmed down. After all, she had received instruction from Mo Wuji, that mysterious expert. How could she be afraid of a few ordinary men in black?

"Nothing, just that you need to cooperate with us and meet our boss," one of them said with a chuckle.

Tan Zhenman's expression darkened. "Sorry, I don't have time. Get out of my way."

"Then it's not up to you," the four men in black said, charging forward almost simultaneously.

Tan Zhenman panicked. She had forgotten that her lightness skill allowed her to easily jump past these four. At that moment, she unhesitatingly grabbed her short blade, and a swirl of light emerged.

"Pfft, pfft, pfft..." Four streams of blood splattered. Before the four men in black could approach Tan Zhenman, they were directly killed by the light of the blade. Each one had a bloodstain on their neck, so accurately that Tan Zhenman herself couldn't believe it.

Tan Zhenman retreated several steps in fear. She looked down at the short blade in her hand. When she struck just now, she could clearly feel the location of her opponents' necks, and then strike accurately.

"So strong." Tan Zhenman endured her discomfort, muttering to herself.

She wasn't saying she was strong. She was saying Mo Wuji was too strong. He had only taught her for an hour, letting her train alone for a month, and she already possessed such powerful means. How strong was Mo Wuji himself?

Tan Zhenman looked at the four men in black that she had killed, and then looked around at the empty Jingshou Mountain. She knew that she had truly lost that great opportunity. Meeting an expert like Mo Wuji once was already great luck; how could she meet him a second time?

And these four men in black. Tan Zhenman didn't even need to investigate to know that they were from the Xia family. She didn't usually make enemies; the only time she had been in the spotlight was during the Three-Star assessment. Only the Xia family could quickly know her assessment results, and only the Xia family would come to capture her after learning her assessment results.

Now that she had killed people from the Xia family, she had no choice but to pass the Federation Starflight assessment and go to Diyuan Star.

Thinking of this, Tan Zhenman resolutely put away her short blade and decided to return to Qishu City.

...

(That's all for today, friends. Good night!)
