"Little friend Mo, I'm afraid you two are more than just a little familiar, right?"
Lin Wuya's curiosity was piqued. The attitude of the Yaochi Heavenly Palace disciple towards Mo Tianxiao made him deeply suspect Mo Tianxiao's true identity.
What kind of background could make a disciple of the Yaochi Heavenly Palace declare that the entire sect would back him up?
If this guy was a rogue cultivator, he'd chop his own head off and tie it to his belt.
In response, Mo Tianxiao merely smiled and said nothing.
Zi Ling'er, who was beside them, couldn't hold back anymore. She stared into Mo Tianxiao's eyes and asked earnestly, "Senior, why did she just call you Senior Brother Mo?"
"Ling'er, let me teach you another lesson. When you are out in the world, you give yourself your identity. Unless absolutely necessary, never easily reveal your true identity."
Mo Tianxiao answered with a straight face, not feeling anything inappropriate about his words at all.
If he had exposed his identity from the very beginning, he might have been targeted by the Blood God Palace immediately.
Hearing this, Zi Ling'er nodded thoughtfully. Then, she stared at Mo Tianxiao with her watery eyes and asked, "So, what is Senior's real name?"
Mo Tianxiao rubbed his nose and said casually, "Mo Tianxiao. And from now on, don't call me Senior anymore. Just call me Senior Brother Mo."
"Senior Brother Mo?"
Zi Ling'er froze for a moment, then a smile more beautiful than a blooming flower appeared on her face. She replied sweetly, "Okay!"
Senior Brother Mo sounded much more intimate than Senior. Did this mean he truly considered her as one of his own now?
"Little friend Mo, could you reveal a bit about your identity?"
Lin Wuya raised an eyebrow, a cheeky smile hanging on his face. He completely lacked the majesty of a Tribulation Transcendence cultivator; instead, he looked like a gossipy old rascal.
People always harbor curiosity toward the unknown, unable to resist the urge to investigate and find out the answers.
"Hmm..."
Just as Mo Tianxiao was about to find a random excuse to brush him off, a cold, mature woman's voice reached their ears.
"Tianxiao, why did you run off to the Eastern Region?"
They turned their heads to see a mature woman in a long purple dress walking over. She was graceful and possessed an exceptional temperament. Behind her followed Xiao Qian, who was covering her mouth and chuckling softly.
Seeing this person, Lin Wuya's expression changed. He instantly became incredibly respectful, cupping his hands and saying, "Junior Lin Wuya greets Senior."
The mature woman glanced at Lin Wuya and gave a slight nod before shifting her gaze to Mo Tianxiao.
Mo Tianxiao's mouth twitched slightly. Not daring to be negligent, he quickly stepped forward, scratching his head in greeting, "Aunt Lin, long time no see."
Lin Wanyi, an elder of the Yaochi Heavenly Palace and a Saint Realm expert.
Previously, at the Void Emperor Secret Realm, she was the leading elder for the Yaochi Heavenly Palace. Later, during the social gathering between the Yaochi Heavenly Palace and the Demonic Sect, she was also present.
Furthermore, at the banquet following the gathering, she had forced him to change his form of address to Aunt Lin. She was definitely someone who loved watching a good show and never minded things getting blown out of proportion.
"If you have matters to discuss, let's talk inside."
Lin Wanyi nodded, a teasing glint in her eyes.
This little guy actually dared to come to her Yaochi Heavenly Palace all by himself. Was he not afraid of being eaten clean?
"Um, Aunt Lin, this is my friend who came with me. And this little girl is the younger sister I just acknowledged. We were planning to have her join the Yaochi Heavenly Palace, so what do you think..."
Since they were old acquaintances, he wasn't going to be polite.
Not only Zi Ling'er, but also Lin Nannan, this little girl who had appeared halfway—he wasn't going to let either of them slip away.
Hearing Mo Tianxiao's words, Zi Ling'er hurriedly cupped her hands and respectfully addressed her as Senior. Meanwhile, Lin Nannan looked at Mo Tianxiao curiously, her large, sparkling eyes revealing nothing of what she was thinking.
Only Lin Wuya looked thrilled, his body trembling slightly in excitement. He wished he could kowtow to Mo Tianxiao right then and there.
This was a Saint Realm expert! If Nannan caught her eye and was taken in as a personal disciple, wouldn't his Lin family soar to greatness!
Although Senior Lin also shared the surname Lin, she had absolutely no connection to his Immortal City Lin family.
After all, when she made her name, his Immortal City Lin family didn't even exist yet.
Lin Wanyi's cool gaze swept over Zi Ling'er and Lin Nannan before she nodded. "Come in together."
"Thank you, Aunt Lin."
Mo Tianxiao turned to look at Lin Wuya and winked at him. Lin Wuya immediately caught on. He pulled Lin Nannan in front of him and said solemnly:
"Nannan, remember, from now on, this is your Big Brother Mo. You must treat him like your own flesh-and-blood brother, understand?"
Although he didn't know Mo Tianxiao's exact background, seeing that even a Saint Realm elder of the Yaochi Heavenly Palace was so familiar with him told him everything he needed to know.
This little friend Mo's identity was definitely not simple; he was absolutely far more formidable than his Immortal City Lin family. Since that was the case, having Nannan acknowledge him as her older brother was worth a thousand times its weight in gold!
The tiny Lin Nannan pursed her small lips and nodded adorably. With a maturity in her eyes that didn't belong to her age, she called out, "Big Brother Mo!"
"Aye!"
That brother sounded so precious.
Mo Tianxiao quickly squatted down and picked her up, grinning from ear to ear. He had picked up another massive treasure.
"Senior Lin, don't worry. Leave little Nannan to me."
With that said, Mo Tianxiao carried little Nannan and, together with Zi Ling'er, followed Lin Wanyi into the Yaochi Heavenly Palace.
Only after their figures disappeared from sight did Lin Wuya let out a long sigh of relief. His face was slightly flushed, and he felt incredibly delighted.
"Little Nannan is truly the lucky star of my Lin family."
In truth, he had recognized Zi Ling'er's identity long ago, as well as Mo Tianxiao's rogue cultivator alias, Li Yu.
Paper cannot wrap a fire. The tragedy that befell the Zi family was known to quite a few factions, and his Lin family was one of them.
However, his Lin family had never had any dealings with the Zi family, and he wasn't the type who liked acting as someone else's lapdog, so he had never thought about capturing the two of them to claim a reward from the Huangfu family.
On the contrary, he was somewhat shocked that Zi Ling'er and this rogue cultivator had managed to sneak into the Immortal City completely unnoticed.
He reckoned that the people of the Zi family and the Huangfu family would never have imagined in their wildest dreams that these two would dare to come to the Immortal City.
But thinking about it carefully, he felt it was a stroke of genius. The more unexpected it was, the more it showcased this rogue cultivator's courage.
Curiosity had driven him to step forward and greet them, which in turn led to everything that followed.
He could only say that this was destiny; it was meant for his Lin family to rise to the top!
"Hahahahaha!"
The more he thought about it, the happier he became. Lin Wuya burst into loud laughter and walked away stylishly under the strange gazes of the bystanders.
While Lin Wuya thought he was having a streak of good luck, Mo Tianxiao was equally sighing in excitement.
Following behind Lin Wanyi, Mo Tianxiao's entire attention was focused on Lin Nannan. From time to time, he would reach out and pinch her soft, squishy little cheeks.
Lin Nannan neither cried nor fussed, nor was she afraid of strangers. She just stared right back at him with her large, shining obsidian-like eyes.
Lin Nannan's status panel was completely exposed under Mo Tianxiao's Eye of Insight. This was also the reason why he had not hesitated to acknowledge little Nannan as his younger sister before she grew up.
