Informing Identity

Leaving the grand hall, Mo Tianxiao let out a long sigh of relief, looking incredibly refreshed.

Su Muyao snatching away Zi Ling'er and Little Nannan made his heart ache a little, but the thought of soon being able to arrogantly march over to the Huangfu family and slap their faces instantly lifted his spirits.

He had to take back every bit of the loss he suffered at the Yaochi Heavenly Palace from the Huangfu family!

"Hehehe... Huangfu Yunteng, you must be dying to kill me right now..."

"Senior Brother Mo?"

"Hmm?"

Coming back to his senses, Mo Tianxiao saw Zi Ling'er and Little Nannan looking at him with strange expressions, and his old face immediately flushed red.

"Senior Brother Mo, thank you."

Zi Ling'er spoke in a solemn tone. Looking at Mo Tianxiao, she bowed deeply to him.

"It's a small matter. It actually has little to do with me. You are outstanding enough, so it's only normal that Senior Su took a liking to you."

"That is still your credit, Senior Brother Mo. Without you, how could I have even met an existence like Master?"

"Alright, alright, stop with the polite words, it makes me feel quite unaccustomed. Just cultivate well, and remember to come help me when I run into trouble in the future."

Mo Tianxiao waved his hand, scooped up Little Nannan in his arms, pinched her little cheeks, and strode out.

Zi Ling'er quickly followed, a mischievous smile appearing on her pretty face. "Don't worry, Senior Brother, I know how to be grateful the most~"

"So, Senior Brother, can you tell me your true identity now?"

With her hands behind her back, Zi Ling'er skipped to the front of Mo Tianxiao, tilted her head, and asked him, "Don't try to brush me off by saying you are a rogue cultivator~"

Perhaps because her predicament was resolved, or perhaps because her relationship with Mo Tianxiao had taken a step further, Zi Ling'er appeared quite relaxed at this moment. With every frown and smile, that charming and alluring aura naturally revealed itself.

"Since we have reached this point, I will not hide it from you. I am actually a disciple of the Netherworld Demon Sect."

"The Netherworld Demon Sect??"

Zi Ling'er's eyes widened unconsciously. She reached out to cover her open mouth and lost her voice a little, "The Netherworld Demon Sect of the Demon Province?"

"Yes." Mo Tianxiao nodded.

Now Zi Ling'er was truly shocked.

Almost all the different regions were jointly ruled by major factions and noble families.

Only two places were rather special: one was the Demon Province, and the other was the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

In the Demon Province, the Netherworld Demon Sect was the absolute boss. Whether it was other factions or noble families, they were all subordinates.

As for the Hundred Thousand Mountains, bloodlines reigned supreme. Whoever had the most powerful bloodline was the boss of the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

She never expected that Senior Brother Mo was actually a disciple of the Netherworld Demon Sect.

No wonder... no wonder his way of doing things was so different from normal cultivators.

"Senior Brother, it shouldn't be just that, right? Your identity in the Netherworld Demon Sect shouldn't be as simple as just a disciple?"

Zi Ling'er continued to press for answers.

If he were merely an ordinary disciple of the Demon Sect, how could he know Elder Lin and the Palace Master of the Yaochi Heavenly Palace?

Moreover, looking at Senior Brother, he seemed very familiar with the disciples, elders, and even the Palace Master of the Yaochi Heavenly Palace. This was definitely not something an ordinary disciple could achieve.

"When Master mentioned Little Xue earlier, did she mean the Young Palace Master of the Yaochi Heavenly Palace, Su Muxue? Does Senior Brother have a good relationship with Senior Sister Su Muxue?"

"Uh... it's just average."

"Don't be so curious. Actually, my identity is quite similar to yours now."

Mo Tianxiao teased Little Nannan and casually replied, "I am the personal disciple of the Demon Sect's Sect Master, I guess you could call me the Eldest Senior Brother of the Demon Sect."

Hearing Mo Tianxiao's true identity, a hint of shock flashed in Zi Ling'er's pupils.

"No wonder... this way, everything makes sense."

Senior Brother Mo completely disregarded the Zi family, and didn't even put the Huangfu family in his eyes. It all made sense now.

As the dignified future heir of the Demon Province, this identity held far more weight than Huangfu Yunteng, the true dragon of the Huangfu family.

After all, the Demon Sect could truly command all the cultivators in the entire Demon Province, whereas the Huangfu family could not command all the cultivators in the Eastern Region. Just based on this point, Huangfu Yunteng was vastly inferior to Senior Brother Mo.

"Tianxiao, how did it go? Did the Palace Master agree?"

Lin Wanyi walked over, her face as beautiful as peach blossoms, approaching with a radiant smile.

Mo Tianxiao revealed a smile and said, "Aunt Lin, with me taking action, Senior naturally agreed. Not only that, Senior Su even accepted Zi Ling'er and Nannan as her personal disciples."

"What?! The Palace Master took in disciples?"

The first sentence was nothing, but upon hearing that Su Muyao had taken two personal disciples, Lin Wanyi's expression changed slightly, and her eyes revealed a hint of disbelief.

"Of course it's true, why would I lie to you?"

Mo Tianxiao looked at the somewhat excited Lin Wanyi, feeling a bit puzzled.

Was Su Muyao taking disciples such a hard thing to accept?

That woman was a lily, maybe she had taken a fancy to Zi Ling'er and Nannan. After all, Zi Ling'er was so beautiful, and although Nannan was young, she would definitely grow up to be a stunning beauty capable of toppling nations.

It might look like she was taking disciples, but maybe she just wanted to enjoy the advantage of being close to them...

"That's wonderful, the Palace Master has finally taken in disciples."

Lin Wanyi calmed her emotions, and her expression suddenly became relaxed.

Strictly speaking, she was Su Muyao's senior. It was just that Su Muyao's talent was too astonishing. In just a few thousand years, she had surpassed everyone to become the Palace Master of the Yaochi Heavenly Palace, and was even hailed as the number one person in the Eastern Region.

However, ever since she became the Palace Master of the Yaochi Heavenly Palace, she had never taken a single personal disciple. The only one was Su Muxue, who was picked up from outside a few years ago and raised as a younger sister.

Now that the Palace Master was taking disciples, it meant that these two would highly likely become the Palace Master's successors, the future Palace Masters of the Yaochi Heavenly Palace.

"Tianxiao, thank you."

Lin Wanyi's gaze toward Mo Tianxiao grew increasingly gentle. She was growing more and more fond of this junior.

"Aunt Lin, considering our relationship, there's no need to be so polite."

Mo Tianxiao waved his hands repeatedly. Being thanked by a Saint Realm expert made him feel a bit overwhelmed by the favor.

"Is that so? Then tell me, what is the relationship between us?"

Lin Wanyi looked at Mo Tianxiao, her smiling eyes curving like a clear spring. Her voice was numbingly sweet, her breath smelled like orchids, and her tone even carried a tiny trace of resentment.

"Hiss..."

This look, this tone, it was getting a bit too much to handle!

Mo Tianxiao couldn't withstand the charm of such a mature older woman, and his voice trembled as he said, "Aunt Lin, please don't be like this, I'm scared."

"Pfft... Hahahaha."

Lin Wanyi suddenly burst into loud laughter, reaching out her jade hand to vigorously pat his shoulder.

"Little Tianxiao, you are so fun. If your Aunt Lin were a bit younger, I would definitely snatch you up and keep you as my Dao Companion."

"Actually, it wouldn't matter even now..." Mo Tianxiao muttered softly.

"What did you say?" Lin Wanyi wiped away the tears of laughter from the corners of her eyes and softly scolded, "You brat, trying to be a young cow eating old grass? Keep dreaming."

On the side, Zi Ling'er looked at Lin Wanyi, then at Mo Tianxiao who was scratching his head and laughing awkwardly. She rubbed her chin with her slender hand, her eyes looking thoughtful.

Could it be that Senior Brother Mo likes more mature women...

"Alright, let's get down to business. Huangfu Yunteng just released word that in seven days, he will execute Ling'er's parents in front of everyone in the Immortal City. He is trying to force you out into the open. Have you figured out what you are going to do?"

Lin Wanyi's expression grew slightly serious as she relayed the news she had just received.

Hearing this, the corners of Mo Tianxiao's mouth slowly curled upwards, revealing a sinister smirk. "Then we will finish him off in seven days!"
