Old Five is a Goose.
Chapter 644: Rejecting Kindness
"Wuji, I feel that your cultivation isn't high, but you offend quite a few people," Gai Ao said slowly, changing the subject.
Mo Wuji knew that something must be coming. He put aside his thoughts and said with slight embarrassment, "I don't want to offend them either, but I offend them without realizing it."
Did he want to offend Lun Cai? He just had some skills, and he couldn't escape offending Lun Cai. Unless he could act like a grandson, and after Lun Cai killed his people, he still had to work for Lun Cai. If that were the case, he, Mo Wuji, would rather die.
Did he want to offend the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance? But he really found the Pill Dao Immortal Alliance's face disgusting. He felt that pretending to be friendly with such people would affect his Dao heart.
As for the Great Sword Path, when he became the sect leader of the Heavenly Machine Sect in True Star, he was destined to form a feud with the Great Sword Path. This couldn't be avoided at all. The only enemy he could have avoided was the Thunder Sect. At that time, as long as he turned a blind eye, the hatred with the Thunder Sect would have been within controllable limits.
But if he, Mo Wuji, could watch Yuan Yi and his disciple be bullied in front of him, and watch Su Xi, that little girl, be taken away and still turn a blind eye, then he wouldn't be Mo Wuji.
"Are you interested in going to Moon Wheel, the Emperor Immortal City of my Six Paths Immortal Domain?" Gai Ao asked with a smile.
Mo Wuji knew about Moon Wheel Immortal City. It was the Emperor Immortal City of the Six Paths Immortal Domain, and also the immortal city where Gai Ao resided. It was said to be one of the most beautiful immortal cities in the seven great immortal domains.
Before Mo Wuji could refuse, Gai Ao said again, "Pill Master Mo, what do you think of my daughter, Feiyan?"
Even though Gai Feiyan was a powerhouse about to enter the Immortal King Realm, she still blushed and lowered her head when she heard her father say this.
Mo Wuji quickly said, "Senior Sister Feiyan is amazingly talented. Her appearance and aptitude are both outstanding."
Gai Ao nodded. "Your eye for talent isn't bad. Feiyan also admires you quite a bit. What I mean is that after you go to the Six Paths Immortal Domain, you can venture into the Immortal World together with Feiyan. You've both been to the Soul Condensing Immortal Jade Pond, so you have more in common."
Gai Ao didn't directly say that he wanted Mo Wuji and Gai Feiyan to become Dao companions, but he had already said so much. Mo Wuji couldn't pretend anymore, so he quickly stood up, bowed to Gai Ao, and said, "Senior Sister Feiyan's status and aptitude far surpass mine. Being with Senior Sister Feiyan would only degrade her status. Moreover, I already have a Dao companion, so being with Senior Sister Feiyan wouldn't be appropriate."
Gai Ao's face immediately darkened, and his tone turned cold as he said, "Do you think Zhuo Pingan can guarantee your safety? You're terribly wrong. Each of your enemies is stronger than Zhuo Pingan. Moreover, you have an upcoming great enemy, the Great Kun Buddhist Sect. If it weren't for the fact that you still have some value, would I even care about you?"
Mo Wuji said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Thank you for the Emperor's kindness. If I had to find a backer out of fear, then I wouldn't be Mo Wuji. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
"Hmph, you don't know how to appreciate favors. Feiyan, let's go." Gai Ao suddenly stood up and turned to leave.
Gai Feiyan gave Mo Wuji a disappointed look, lowered her head, and hurriedly left with Gai Ao. At least one of Mo Wuji's words was correct in her opinion. If Mo Wuji relied on the Heavenly Emperor because he was afraid of death, then he wouldn't be Mo Wuji, and he wouldn't be worth her attention.
As soon as Gai Ao and his daughter left, Guang Xing and Tai Sha appeared in the pavilion like ghosts.
"Amitabha, this poor monk has finally seen Pill Master Mo again," Guang Xing said with a smile, putting his palms together.
"Please sit down, Masters," Mo Wuji said with a headache. He knew why Guang Xing and Tai Sha had come, but he knew it was impossible.
The Great Kun Buddhist Lamp was exchanged for Yuan Yi's life, and Su Xi probably wouldn't hand it over to the Great Kun Buddhist Sect either. As for Yuan Yi, if she was willing to hand it over to the Great Kun Buddhist Sect, she wouldn't have carried the lamp tray alone for so many years.
"Benefactor Mo…"
Guang Xing had only said three words when Mo Wuji raised his hand to stop him. "Master Guang Xing, please call me Pill Master Mo."
The Great Kun Buddhist Lamp wasn't his, and he wasn't qualified to donate it.
Guang Xing didn't mind and changed his words, "Pill Master Mo, Guang Xing represents the Great Kun Buddhist Sect to thank you again for saving my sect's Yuan Yi and his disciple…"
Mo Wuji stopped Guang Xing for the second time. "Master Guang Xing, I really don't deserve this thanks. Yuan Yi is from the Quiet Heart Temple, and I don't know or want to know what the relationship between the Quiet Heart Temple and the Great Kun Buddhist Sect is. Saving Junior Sister Su Xi was just a matter of convenience. Su Xi has already thanked me, so no one else needs to thank me."
Mo Wuji didn't dare to help Su Xi admit to this. Once he admitted it, it would be equal to saying that the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp was indeed the Great Kun Buddhist Sect's. So he wouldn't accept Guang Xing's thanks, because he didn't want to make it difficult for Su Xi to speak later.
Tai Sha, who hadn't spoken all along, had a gloomy expression on her face when she heard Mo Wuji's words. A faint gray light appeared on the Buddhist beads on her neck. Mo Wuji sensed this light, and his domain involuntarily expanded.
This gray light was murderous intent. He didn't expect this Tai Sha, a Buddhist, to have such heavy murderous intent. She had murderous intent towards him just from one sentence.
Guang Xing said another Buddhist prayer and said, "Pill Master Mo, Yuan Yi has a Great Kun Buddhist Lamp in his hand. This lamp was originally the treasure of the Great Kun Buddhist Sect. After Yuan Yi's death, please return this lamp to my Great Kun Buddhist Sect. My Great Kun Buddhist Sect will be extremely grateful."
Mo Wuji felt anger rising in his heart. He finally understood. He had always thought that Guang Xing just wanted to introduce himself to An Su Xi and have her hand over the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp. Now it seemed that they had long believed that the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp was in his, Mo Wuji's, hands.
In other words, he, Mo Wuji, had ill intentions when he saved Yuan Yi and his disciple. His purpose was the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp. He had thought too highly of Guang Xing. It turned out that it was impossible to be a good person in this day and age.
"Master Guang Xing, I said, I don't know anything about the Great Kun Buddhist Sect. I only saved Yuan Yi and his disciple from the Quiet Heart Temple. If Master Guang Xing has anything to do with your sect, you can go to the people of the Quiet Heart Temple to explain it. It has nothing to do with me."
Mo Wuji didn't want to establish the Great Kun Buddhist Sect as an enemy. Even if Guang Xing suspected him, he still tried to calm things down. If Su Xi was willing to hand over the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp, then it wouldn't be his business. If Su Xi wasn't willing to hand it over, with Zhuo Pingan around, Guang Xing and Tai Sha wouldn't be able to jump out of the sky.
"Hmph!" Tai Sha snorted coldly, "Pill Master Mo, let's not beat around the bush. Su Xi is just a little girl, how can she be a match for someone like you? Do you dare to say that you saved Su Xi not for the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp? If it's something else, my Great Kun Buddhist Sect wouldn't care, but my Great Kun Buddhist Sect must take back this Great Kun Buddhist Lamp. If Pill Master Mo doesn't want to cause too much trouble, then return the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp to its original owner. If you don't want to, my Great Kun Buddhist Sect also has a Great Immortal Emperor, and we won't be afraid of others."
It seemed that the other party was determined to believe that he had saved Su Xi like the big bad wolf saved Little Red Riding Hood. Mo Wuji knew that there was no point in arguing anymore, and he was too lazy to argue. He slowly stood up and said indifferently, "Whatever Great Immortal Emperor your Great Kun Buddhist Sect has is your Great Kun Buddhist Sect's business. I, Mo Wuji, am not threatened easily, and I don't like to talk nonsense with unnecessary people. As for the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp that you want, I don't know anything about it."
After saying that, Mo Wuji was too lazy to pay attention to these two people and turned to leave the pavilion.
He was being framed for no reason again. Mo Wuji was really upset. He was sure that even if the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp was really in his hands and he gave it to Guang Xing, he would still be known as someone who swallowed the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp after he left the Heaven's Gorge Immortal Pool today.
……
Even though he still wanted to see what gift the yellow-robed youth from the Grand Expanse Heaven had brought, Mo Wuji didn't feel like staying here anymore. He hurriedly walked out of the Heaven's Gorge Immortal Pool. There were some things he had to get the little nun, Su Xi, to prepare for in advance.
Facing a great sect like the Great Kun Buddhist Sect, Mo Wuji wasn't qualified to say that he could definitely protect Su Xi. It would be good enough if he could protect himself.
"Master, that Mo Wuji has left." As soon as Mo Wuji left, Ni Ju said anxiously.
Sa Jian stared at Mo Wuji's disappearing figure and snorted coldly, "He won't leave Heaven's Gorge Immortal City for the time being. We're no match for him now that he's joined forces with Zhuo Pingan. He swallowed the Great Kun Buddhist Lamp, so the people of the Great Kun Buddhist Sect won't let him go. We can join forces with the Great Kun Buddhist Sect and the Thunder Sect to get rid of him later."
Ni Ju understood his master's meaning. It was his master, Sa Jian, who destroyed the Heavenly Machine Sect. To tell the truth, it didn't have much to do with the Great Sword Path. The Great Sword Path didn't even take it seriously, so they couldn't ask the sect's Immortal Emperor to help them kill Mo Wuji, because this was Mo Wuji's and his master's personal feud.
