Sumuyao's Summons

"Tianxiao, why isn't Little Xue with you?"

Lin Wanyi swayed her alluring waist, asking Mo Tianxiao as they walked.

Knowing Su Muxue, that girl was not the type who could sit still.

"Miss Su and Junior Sister Wan'er are cultivating in the sect. I hit a bottleneck in my cultivation, so I thought I'd come out for a walk and take care of some things along the way."

Mo Tianxiao replied calmly, though he couldn't help but grumble inwardly. How could he possibly bring along a loud and boisterous girl like Su Muxue? She would have annoyed him to death.

"Little Xue obviously has great talent, yet she spends all day focusing on martial world loyalty and righteousness. It's rare for her to actually settle down and cultivate properly.

Tianxiao, other than the Sect Master, you're the first person who can keep Little Xue in check."

Lin Wanyi wore a knowing, affectionate smile on her face, seemingly in a very good mood.

However, the next second, her expression turned serious, revealing a trace of disbelief. She stopped in her tracks, her gentle, watery eyes flashing with surprise as she stared intently at Mo Tianxiao.

"Tianxiao, your cultivation... the peak of the Tongxuan Realm?"

Mo Tianxiao's little tricks naturally couldn't hide from the eyes of a Saint Realm expert, and his cultivation base was instantly exposed.

"How long has it been? Tianxiao, you haven't gone down a crooked path, have you?"

Lin Wanyi reached out and placed her hand on Mo Tianxiao's shoulder. The moment she said those words, she regretted them. He was originally a member of the Demonic Sect; walking a crooked path should be perfectly normal for him.

But what kind of crooked path could allow a peak Deity Transformation cultivator to leap all the way to the peak of the Tongxuan Realm in just five short years?

An average of two minor realms a year—she had never seen such a genius before.

Feeling the thick and vigorous spiritual energy within Mo Tianxiao's body, without the slightest bit of instability, her expression grew even more shocked. This didn't seem like cultivation raised through crooked means; instead, it felt like it had been cultivated solidly, step by step.

Mo Tianxiao scratched his head. A faint, orchid-like fragrance lingered at the tip of his nose, making his old face blush. Mature women were truly hard to resist...

"Aunt Lin, didn't I come out to gain experience because I hit a bottleneck? Then I encountered a little fortuitous encounter and luckily broke through."

"As long as you haven't gone down a crooked path, that's good."

Looking at Mo Tianxiao's reddened face, Lin Wanyi immediately covered her mouth and chuckled. She patted his shoulder, "Tell me, what kind of trouble have you run into? Aunt Lin will help you solve it."

Hearing this, Mo Tianxiao's expression turned serious. "Aunt Lin, it's like this..."

Without any hesitation, he disclosed everything that had happened between him and Zi Ling'er. If Aunt Lin could help him resolve the matter regarding Zi Ling'er's parents, that would naturally be fantastic.

After all, Aunt Lin was much gentler than that woman, Su Muyao.

"So it was this matter. I was wondering who in the Eastern Region was so arrogant as to not even give face to the Huangfu family. So it was you, kid."

After listening to Mo Tianxiao, Lin Wanyi shook her head and laughed.

As expected of someone from the Demonic Sect, he was not ambiguous at all when it came to stirring up trouble.

Glancing at Zi Ling'er, Lin Wanyi nodded slightly. "She is quite a little vixen. No wonder you helped her so much, Tianxiao. But let me tell you, you absolutely must not forget Little Xue."

Hearing the other party call her a little vixen, Zi Ling'er's small face instantly flushed red. Her gaze darted away evasively, and she cautiously peeked at Mo Tianxiao.

Mo Tianxiao scratched his head, feeling a bit awkward. "We are friends. When a friend is in trouble, I naturally have to help."

"Alright, everyone has been young before. You don't need to explain to your aunt."

Lin Wanyi didn't listen to his explanation at all. Instead, she smiled and teased, "I actually want to see who will win between you and Huangfu Yunteng, that ignorant and incompetent silk pants?"

"Aunt Lin, with my scrawny arms and legs, how could I dare to fight the Huangfu family? Isn't that why I came to ask for your help?"

Mo Tianxiao smiled mischievously. He wasn't arrogant enough to dare charge into the Huangfu family alone to save someone.

As the saying goes, a mighty dragon cannot crush a local snake. Coming from the Demonic State, they probably wouldn't buy his act at all.

"Let your aunt tell you the truth. The Huangfu family previously sent people around to deliver gifts to the major factions of the Immortal City, asking us not to take in this little girl.

Huangfu Yunteng is the Old Master of the Huangfu family's most beloved grandson, and also his only grandson. Although he is an ignorant and incompetent silk pants, his talent is truly beyond reproach.

This has led the entire Huangfu family to excessively dote on him. The Huangfu family will do their utmost to satisfy almost all of his demands.

If we hadn't accepted the Huangfu family's things, this matter would be easy to handle. We would just need to take this girl into our sect to resolve it. But now that the gifts have been accepted, there is no reason to return them."

Lin Wanyi said calmly.

"The Huangfu family can be considered the second largest faction in the Eastern Region. Their overall strength is not weaker than the Jade Pool Heavenly Palace. Their only shortcoming might be in their reputation.

Moreover, once a matter involves Huangfu Yunteng, the Huangfu family is basically unforgiving and will not make the slightest concession, simply because he is the only person in the Huangfu family in tens of thousands of years who has the potential to become an Emperor."

Hearing Lin Wanyi's words, Mo Tianxiao frowned slightly. "Is this Huangfu family that hard to deal with?"

Huangfu Yunteng had the aptitude to become an Emperor. If nothing unexpected happened, he should be a Child of Destiny.

Logically speaking, when he saw this kind of Child of Destiny, he would usually choose to hide far away or make friends with them.

However, his previous actions had probably already angered this Child of Destiny. Furthermore, judging from the rumors about the other party, the two of them probably couldn't become friends.

Zi Ling'er, who was beside them, spoke up at this time, "Senior Brother Mo, you have already helped me enough."

She really didn't want to make things difficult for Senior Brother Mo anymore.

"It's not that there is no way, it's just a bit troublesome."

Lin Wanyi changed the subject, looking at Mo Tianxiao with a light chuckle. "Tianxiao, the Jade Pool Heavenly Palace values credibility. Although we cannot take Miss Ling'er into our sect, we can arrange a position for you."

"Then we will inform the Huangfu family that you have taken a fancy to Miss Ling'er, and we will have a legitimate reason to go to the Huangfu family and demand her people."

A glint flashed in Lin Wanyi's eyes, as if she was calculating something.

The Huangfu family had been wanting to suppress the Jade Pool Heavenly Palace for more than just a day or two. She could take this opportunity to suppress them and let the Immortal City, and even the entire Eastern Region, know who the true overlord of the Eastern Region was.

"Me, joining the Jade Pool Heavenly Palace? Isn't that inappropriate?"

Mo Tianxiao was instantly stunned when he heard Lin Wanyi's suggestion.

Setting aside the fact that it was unreasonable for him, a man, to join the Jade Pool Heavenly Palace, not to mention he was also the Eldest Senior Brother of the Demonic Sect. What kind of situation would it be for him to join the Jade Pool Heavenly Palace?

If his Master found out, wouldn't she drag him back and whip him to death?

"It's just using a fake identity to hold a nominal title, not truly joining. Besides, I don't have the final say in this matter; we need the Sect Master's approval."

Lin Wanyi shot Mo Tianxiao a reproving look with her gentle eyes. "Tianxiao, if you want to save your... good friend here, you must convince the Sect Master."

"This..."

Mo Tianxiao was in a dilemma for a moment. If possible, he didn't want to face Su Muyao at all.

A Quasi-Emperor expert, who was also a lesbian with a cold personality, and did things entirely based on her own mood. Facing such an existence was simply torture.

"Hmm?"

Lin Wanyi's expression changed slightly as she gave a small nod. The next second, she revealed a smile. "Tianxiao, the Sect Master wants you to go see her. Good luck, I believe you can convince her."

Mo Tianxiao's mouth twitched slightly. "I'll do my best."
