"Brother Yuan and Eleventh Sister are here. I didn't kill him, I just knocked him unconscious. I was just about to help these two escape. This is my younger aunt, Mo Xiangtong, and this is her friend, Jing Lengbei." Mo Wuji didn't hide anything.

Yuan Zhenyi breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, knocking him unconscious means nothing happened. Let's go, I'll help you."

Mo Wuji hesitated again and said, "Before I leave, I actually want to do one more thing. I want to kill the guy who trafficked my younger aunt..."

Mo Xiangtong spoke up, "Wuji, just call me Xiangtong. I'm younger than you, calling me younger aunt feels a bit awkward."

This wasn't wrong; Mo Wuji did feel a bit awkward calling Mo Xiangtong younger aunt. After all, he wasn't the original Mo Xinghe, but the reborn Mo Wuji.

Yuan Zhenyi chuckled, "It's settled then, I'll go help you. Killing that guy might be a bit difficult for you alone. Eleventh Sister and I will go help you. Don't underestimate these merchants, some wealthy ones hire guards who are even more powerful than us."

"I'll go too," Ding Bu'er quickly said.

Mo Wuji stopped Ding Bu'er, "Bu'er, you stay here. In case anything happens, everyone can communicate. Eleventh Sister, don't go either, too many people will attract more attention."

"Wuji is right, Wuji and I can go. Bu'er and Eleventh Sister stay behind. Even if a merchant has a few partners, they're not enough for me, Yuan, to kill," Yuan Zhenyi said.

Eleventh Sister waved her hand, "I have to go. Xiangtong and Lengbei are ordinary women, it's very dangerous for them to escape alone."

Mo Xiangtong quickly said, "I've escaped in the wilderness alone for two years, I know how to survive."

Eleventh Sister smiled slightly, "That's true, but what if you encounter bandits again?"

Yuan Zhenyi also nodded, "Eleventh Sister is right. With Eleventh Sister's skills, even a band of horse bandits wouldn't be enough for her to kill."

"Wouldn't this delay Eleventh Sister's chance to go to the Imperial Capital? How about this, I'll send them away." Mo Wuji suddenly felt a little ashamed.

Mo Xiangtong was, after all, his younger aunt, and he hadn't even thought of personally sending them away. Frankly, he was reluctant to give up the opportunity to go to the Imperial Capital, as this opportunity was too precious to him. There was also something he hadn't even realized himself, he hadn't truly regarded Mo Xiangtong as his younger aunt, perhaps it was just out of indignation. In other words, if Mo Xiangtong was replaced by Yan'er, even if it was more difficult, he would leave with Yan'er.

Eleventh Sister smiled, "Wuji, I used to think Zhenyi was the only true friend I knew, not hypocritical, not artificial, a true man. But after our drinking session yesterday, I'm glad I met you too..."

Speaking of this, Eleventh Sister suddenly sang softly, "How many confidants does one have in this world, how long can friendships last... Being able to make friends like you, what's wrong with sending them away? Besides, I'm older and don't have spiritual roots, whether I go to the Imperial Capital or not doesn't matter. As for that master, this old lady is not playing with him anymore."

Eleventh Sister had said it to this point, if Mo Wuji said anything more, it would seem contrived. Sometimes, the word 'friend' is indeed incredibly profound. If Eleventh Sister needed his help one day, he would step up without hesitation, why say affected words?

He said sincerely, "Eleventh Sister, you, Zhenyi, and Bu'er will always be my best friends."

After coming here, facing various life-and-death situations, he had also met some true friends.

...

"Plop!" Jing Lengbei suddenly knelt down, sobbing, "Young Master Mo, please, after you catch that person, help me ask who wants to destroy my Jing family."

Mo Wuji signaled Mo Xiangtong to help Jing Lengbei up, "Don't worry, I will definitely help you ask."

After saying this, he looked at Mo Xiangtong and asked, "Do you know the background of Ju Hui, the Prince of North Qin Kingdom?"

"His younger sister, Ju Caiyun, is the most beloved concubine of Situ Qian, the lord of Cheng Yu Kingdom. I heard that in the past two years, Situ Qian has favored another woman and has lost some favor for Ju Caiyun..."

Mo Xiangtong only said one sentence, and Mo Wuji completely understood what was going on. No wonder his Mo family's Prince of North Qin position was taken away. Old bastard Situ Qian, one day I will go back and settle the score with you.

At the same time, Mo Wuji finally knew why he was lucky enough to escape Situ Qian's butcher's knife. The main reason was that Ju Caiyun had fallen out of favor. With Ju Caiyun out of favor, naturally she couldn't bother to investigate his madness and recovery. Ju Hui of North Qin probably hadn't received his specific news yet, so he hadn't had time to attack him. Mo Wuji was sure that as long as he stayed in Raozhou, he would be doomed, leaving Raozhou was too timely.

Then who exactly was trying to poison him?

"Let's go quickly, I'm afraid we'll miss the opportunity if we're late." Mo Wuji simply put these thoughts aside.

He knew that Tuoba Qi would find someone to kill that fat merchant, it would be best if he and Yuan Zhenyi could be the fishermen who benefit.

...

Even though it was already dusk, this temporary gathering place by the sea for the Leap to Immortality Sect Assembly was still bustling with people. Mo Wuji, Yuan Zhenyi, Eleventh Sister, Mo Xiangtong, and Jing Lengbei walked among the crowds with their horses, and no one paid any attention to them.

"Perfect timing, that guy was just about to leave, and there are quite a few people with him." Yuan Zhenyi looked at the departing carriage in the distance and chuckled.

Once the carriage was far away from the crowd, Yuan Zhenyi immediately said, "Let's go, we'll follow them."

Mo Wuji stopped Yuan Zhenyi, "Zhenyi, wait. Tuoba Qi has already sent people to follow behind, we just need to be the fishermen who benefit later."

"Haha..." Yuan Zhenyi laughed, "That guy is really courting death. It seems he thinks he has a lot of people, so he's not afraid of anyone, and is in a hurry to be reborn."

Mo Wuji sneered, "This guy isn't in a hurry to be reborn, he's in a hurry to make another fortune. The big ship to the Leap to Immortality Sect is coming in two days, and he wants to take the opportunity to get some more female slaves to sell. I'm sure that if there are no accidents, this guy will come again tomorrow, this is the end of greed."

If this fat merchant made this fortune and didn't leave here overnight to prepare a second batch of female slaves to sell, but waited for the ship to the Leap to Immortality Sect Assembly to leave before leaving, he would definitely be fine. Even if Mo Wuji wanted to kill him, he wouldn't give up the opportunity to go to the Imperial Capital to follow him.

Sure enough, not long after, Mo Wuji saw that Jia Jing had taken two people on horseback and followed them.

"We can go now." After confirming that both groups had gone far away, Mo Wuji said.

...

Two hours later, Yuan Zhenyi suddenly made a hand gesture, stopping the five people from advancing, "They're already fighting ahead, everyone wrap the horses' hooves and mouths, and carefully sneak over."

Mo Wuji listened carefully for a while, and only occasionally heard one or two sounds of weapons clashing. He couldn't help but admire Yuan Zhenyi greatly.

"Wuji, this place is upwind, and you haven't cultivated, so you can't hear it here. Just follow Zhenyi." Eleventh Sister saw Mo Wuji listening attentively and smiled slightly.

Mo Wuji knew that Eleventh Sister wasn't lying, the reason he could hear it was because he had opened up a meridian.
