“The Luoan Mo family is gone, they're all dead…” Mo Xiangtong said, her face streaked with tears, unable to continue, only weeping incessantly.

“What’s done is done, tell me slowly.” Mo Wuji helped Mo Xiangtong up and seated her on a chair. Mo Wuji knew that Luoan Mo Xiangtong mentioned was the capital of the Northern Qin Prefecture. The Mo family was the prefecture king's family and resided in Luoan.

He didn't dare to inquire about the Mo family in front of others, fearing it would alert them. But in front of Mo Xiangtong, Mo Wuji naturally didn't have such concerns.

Mo Xiangtong continued sobbing for a while before finally suppressing her grief and saying, “Four years ago, the Mo family was implicated in an assassination attempt on the Northern Qin Prefecture King…”

“Wait, the Mo family *was* the Northern Qin Prefecture King, how could they assassinate him?” Mo Wuji interrupted Mo Xiangtong, asking in confusion.

Mo Xiangtong shook her head. “The Mo family hadn’t been the Northern Qin Prefecture King for four years. The Northern Qin Prefecture King family is now the Ju family. Because the original Northern Qin Prefecture King was missing, Ju Hui, under the decree of the Chengyu Lord Country, went to the Northern Qin Prefecture to act on behalf of the Northern Qin Prefecture King. But while inspecting the city gates, he was assassinated by a branch disciple of the Mo family. That Mo family branch disciple was killed on the spot, and the Mo family was punished with the extermination of nine generations…”

Mo Wuji's face darkened. A Mo family branch disciple would assassinate a prefecture king acting on behalf? This excuse was too absurd, wasn’t it? What vicious means! Exterminating nine generations – how deep was the hatred?

“How did you escape? And why didn’t they kill you after discovering you?” Mo Wuji asked, looking at Mo Xiangtong with some confusion.

Mo Xiangtong said with a mournful tone, “After the old Prefecture King didn't return that year, your father and mother left Luoan for Rao Prefecture to request an imperial edict, hoping to inherit the position of Prefecture King. But once they left, there was no news. The Mo family constantly sent people to Rao Prefecture, but there was still no news.”

Hearing this, Mo Wuji finally understood why no one from the Mo family had come to Rao Prefecture. It seemed they were directly killed outside Luoan City. Probably anyone from the Mo family who went to Rao Prefecture would be murdered. Until Ju Hui obtained the position of acting Prefecture King, the Ju family found an excuse to wipe out the Mo family in one fell swoop.

“Four years ago, I was only fifteen. Because Mo family members were constantly disappearing, the patriarch strictly forbade all Mo family members from leaving Luoan. Because I was favored at home, I risked being punished and disguised myself, leaving Luoan. Actually, I wanted to see the world outside Luoan City. The second day after I left, the Mo family was exterminated for assassinating the Prefecture King. After accidentally hearing the news outside, I dared not return to Luoan. I wanted to go to Rao Prefecture to find your father…”

Mo Xiangtong seemed to relive her days of loneliness and helplessness. “I disguised myself and took many detours. I was a thief, a beggar, and even ate wild grass and leaves…”

Mo Wuji suddenly felt a tinge of regret. When he caught that little girl stealing from him on the street, he should have helped her. When he saw others in distress, how could he know that his Mo family members were also suffering outside?

“It went on like that for two years until a kind family took me in and made me a maid for their young lady. Until three months ago, that family offended someone, and suddenly, someone came to their door and killed the entire family, leaving only me and their young lady. They left us because they could sell us for more money. Afterwards, the young lady and I were sold to a brothel.

That fat merchant is a partner of the brothel. He is very good at doing business. He said that the Yue Immortal's Gate Competition is about to begin, so it is better to temporarily sell us to those nobles who are participating in the Yue Immortal's Gate Competition. After these nobles have enjoyed us, we will definitely be abandoned on the beach, and he can take us back into the brothel again…”

“Bang!” Mo Wuji slammed the table. “How vicious!”

It was unclear whether he was calling the fat merchant vicious or the people who killed the young lady's family vicious.

After saying this, Mo Wuji suddenly thought of something. “By the way, what about that young lady?”

“Her name is Jing Lengbei, she's number thirty-one. Wuji, can you find a way to save her…” Mo Xiangtong looked at Mo Wuji expectantly. Mo Wuji lived here, she guessed that Mo Wuji was a servant here. But she still hoped that a miracle would happen, such as the genius who brought Mo Wuji was very valued Mo Wuji, and would agree to Mo Wuji's request.

“We'll talk about other things later. Wait for me here.” After Mo Wuji finished speaking, he didn't wait for Mo Xiangtong to answer and turned around and hurriedly walked out of the tent. The Jing family's kindness to Mo Xiangtong, for taking her in and saving her life, Mo Wuji had to repay no matter what. He was afraid that if he went late, Jing Lengbei would be ravaged by that fool.

As soon as Mo Wuji came out, he saw Ding Bu'er in the distance. He hurriedly walked over and pulled Ding Bu'er to the side. “Bu'er, do you know the background of the guy who competed with me before?”

Ding Bu'er thought that Mo Wuji was worried, and quickly said, “I have already investigated it just now. That guy is a little prince from the Xuanliang Prefecture Kingdom. His name is Tuoba Qi, and he lives in the restaurant we just came out of. This guy has a very violent temper, and he explodes at the slightest provocation, and he is also very vengeful. But we don't have to worry about this guy for the time being, we only need to worry after we get on the boat. I heard that the immortal masters don't care about people dying on the boat.”

“I know, Bu'er, add another tent, I have something to do with Miss.” Mo Wuji hastily told him, and then walked quickly to the restaurant he had just come out of.

Ding Bu'er didn't care when he heard Mo Wuji went to Han Ning. In his opinion, Mo Wuji should want Han Ning to say hello, so that Tuoba Qi would be more scrupulous.

“Stop, you are not a resident of the restaurant, you are not allowed to come in.” The waiter of the restaurant directly stopped Mo Wuji. He knew Mo Wuji, the guy who was driven away by the little prince Cao Hao before.

Mo Wuji cupped his fists politely and said, “I want to find our miss for something, you can’t forbid me from reporting to miss, can you?”

The waiter hesitated. What Mo Wuji said made sense. The young lady lived in the restaurant, so as a servant, he naturally had to report at all times.

Just as he was about to agree, a gold coin was stuffed into his palm by Mo Wuji. “Brother, please be accommodating. I’m not here to stay at the hotel, so naturally I won’t make things difficult for you.”

The waiter was about to agree, and when he saw Mo Wuji took out a gold coin, he naturally said without hesitation, “Go, remember to come out early.”

Mo Wuji thanked him quickly, and just as he was about to step forward, he suddenly thought of something and asked in a low voice in the waiter's ear, “Brother, I heard that the little prince Tuoba Qi from the Xuanliang Prefecture Kingdom just bought a beautiful female slave back?”

The waiter also smiled and signaled to Mo Wuji with a knowing look, and said in a low voice, “Brother is indeed a kindred spirit, in other words, that female slave is really good, I saw it. Big breasts, small waist, oval face, if you can hold it, hey hey, that taste…”

The waiter fell into reverie.

“I don’t know which room this guy lives in, I guess the people living next to him will suffer.” Mo Wuji also said with the same tone with a chuckle.

The waiter laughed, “Then you don’t have to worry, little prince Tuoba lives in Room 17, Level A. There is a patio next to his room.”

“This guy is lucky, I have to go find my miss to report.” Mo Wuji responded casually, and rushed into the restaurant.
