Shen Muqing sighed inwardly as she saw the group of people approaching. She knew it was too late to say anything.

"What's going on?" The leading man was a Celestial King, and he shouted sternly as soon as he arrived. This shop belonged to the逍遥(Xiaoyao) Emperor Palace, and no matter what happened, he would give them an explanation.

"Lord Supervisor, they smashed my shop's signboard and used their stronger cultivation to attack me." The Grand Zhi Celestial saw the law enforcers of the Jiao Jiao Celestial Ruins coming and quickly went over, respectfully saluting and complaining.

The Celestial King's gaze fell on Mo Wuji, and he was immediately shocked. He recognized Mo Wuji.

Back then, Lun Cai, the Celestial Emperor of the Xiaoyao Emperor Palace, had issued a wanted order for Mo Wuji in the Jiao Jiao Celestial Ruins. How could he not know what Mo Wuji looked like?

This Mo Wuji was no simple character. An eighth-grade Celestial Pill Emperor, he had still managed to escape calmly under the siege of three Grand Celestial Emperors and one Celestial Emperor. Now that he had returned to the Jiao Jiao Celestial Ruins, he absolutely wouldn't believe that this Pill Master Mo was here to die.

If Mo Wuji's intelligence was only that low, he would have been killed countless times.

At the same time, this Celestial King also understood why Mo Wuji wanted to take down the signboard of this shop. Because this shop originally belonged to Mo Wuji.

But this Celestial King also knew that the guy complaining was from the Xiaoyao Emperor Palace. He didn't want to offend Mo Wuji, and he also didn't want to offend the Xiaoyao Emperor Palace. As for the previous idea of giving the Xiaoyao Emperor Palace an explanation without distinguishing right from wrong, it had completely disappeared at this moment. For him, the question now was how to stay out of it.

Thinking of this, the Celestial King frowned and clasped his fists at Mo Wuji, saying, "Celestial Friend, why did you smash someone else's shop signboard?"

He could only pretend not to recognize Mo Wuji. Not to mention him, even the city lord of the Jiao Jiao Celestial Ruins couldn't afford to offend Mo Wuji. Similarly, he couldn't afford to offend Emperor Lun Cai.

"Because this shop is mine." Mo Wuji said calmly, "This person did business in my shop without my permission, so of course I have to smash the signboard."

"You're talking nonsense! Elder Guo of the Pill Dao Celestial Alliance gave me this shop!" the Grand Zhi Celestial said angrily, although he didn't understand why the Jiao Jiao Celestial Ruins' supervisor was so polite to Mo Wuji. Logically, the other party should give a result immediately after knowing that he was from the Xiaoyao Emperor Palace.

Because of the Celestial City law enforcer's politeness towards Mo Wuji, he also sent a message specifically after saying this sentence.

Before long, Guo Qi quickly arrived. She was about to ask the Grand Zhi Celestial what was going on and why he had urgently asked her to come when she saw Mo Wuji on the side.

"Pill Master Mo..." Guo Qi exclaimed in surprise, and instantly understood what was going on.

This shop was originally given to Mo Wuji by her. Later, the Xiaoyao Emperor Palace pursued Mo Wuji and destroyed this shop. Afterwards, news came out that Mo Wuji had been besieged by several Celestial Emperors and had fallen in the void. In her opinion, even if Mo Wuji hadn't fallen, he wouldn't dare to come back. So she transferred this shop to a small Grand Zhi Celestial under the Xiaoyao Emperor Palace, mainly to make friends with the Xiaoyao Emperor Palace.

But she never expected that Mo Wuji not only hadn't fallen, but had actually returned, and in such an aboveboard manner. At this time, Guo Qi was truly regretful. If she had known this, she would have preferred to refuse the people from the Xiaoyao Emperor Palace with the excuse of not having a land deed. Even if the Xiaoyao Emperor Palace forcibly occupied this place, it would be ten thousand times better than her giving it away.

"Supervisor Guo, what's going on? Whatever it is, my Xiaoyao Emperor Palace will take care of it." The Grand Zhi Celestial also saw something strange.

Mo Wuji didn't respond to Guo Qi's greeting. He had all the procedures for this shop, and he even had the land deed in his hand. He was very grateful that Guo Qi had given him this shop, and he had also refined many Celestial Pills for Guo Qi, asking the people from the Pill Dao Celestial Alliance to send them to her. As far as he was concerned, he had repaid the favor more or less.

Guo Qi had actually given his place to someone else, which made him somewhat unhappy. If it was just like this, then so be it, after all, a shop wasn't much. What Mo Wuji was most unhappy about was that Guo Qi had given this shop to the Xiaoyao Emperor Palace.

He and the Xiaoyao Emperor Palace had a huge grudge. The Xiaoyao Emperor Palace had killed several people from his Heavenly Machine Pill Pavilion and was chasing him all over the world. They had also gone to the Magic Moon Celestial Gate to teach Lin Gu and Lin Gu's master a lesson, and finally destroyed Questioning Moon Peak. He would naturally not forget this kind of hatred.

The entire Celestial Realm knew about his feud with Emperor Lun Cai, and he didn't believe that Guo Qi didn't know. From this incident, he could see that people like Guo Qi could do business with her, but they couldn't become friends with her.

"Pill Master Mo, this shop..." Guo Qi didn't know what to say next. If she had known that Mo Wuji could still come back, she would definitely not have done such a brainless thing.

She gave away the shop, and ended up offending someone.

Seeing Mo Wuji's expressionless face, Guo Qi knew that she couldn't get Mo Wuji's forgiveness. She had no choice but to say to the Grand Zhi Celestial of the Xiaoyao Emperor Palace, "This shop is indeed Pill Master Mo's. I was wrong in this matter, and I'm willing to offer compensation..."

This Grand Zhi Celestial finally understood the reason. He looked at Mo Wuji in surprise and uncertainty, "You, you are that Mo Wuji?"

"That's right, I am Mo Wuji. Get lost, and tell Lun Cai to come find me if he has anything to say." Mo Wuji walked over and waved his hand, sending the Grand Zhi Celestial flying far away.

The Celestial King law enforcer saw Mo Wuji enter the shop and simply waved his hand, saying, "Since you have resolved your personal grievances, then this matter ends here."

After saying this, the Celestial King law enforcer didn't want to say another word and quickly turned around and left, and the few people who came with him also quickly followed.

This Grand Zhi Celestial felt the strength of Mo Wuji's wave and didn't dare to come up and say anything about the things that were still inside the shop. He quickly retreated and immediately took out his communication bead to send a message back. The fact that Mo Wuji had appeared in the Jiao Jiao Celestial Ruins had to be transmitted to the Great Emperor.

The few shop assistants in the shop saw that the shopkeeper had all escaped and quickly fled the shop one after another. Mo Wuji simply wouldn't care about these small fries.

The surrounding people saw that there was no excitement to watch and left one after another. However, the news that Pill Master Mo, who had been driven out of the Jiao Jiao Celestial Ruins by Emperor Lun Cai of the Xiaoyao Emperor Palace, had returned once again spread throughout the entire Jiao Jiao Celestial Ruins.

Guo Qi looked at the shop with a somewhat pale face. In the end, she didn't go in to apologize. She knew that the friendship she had built with Mo Wuji had completely disappeared.

……

"Pill Master Mo..." Shen Muqing followed Mo Wuji and Wei Zidao into the shop. She had a high opinion of Mo Wuji, and Mo Wuji had also helped her vent some anger in the past. So she still wanted to persuade Mo Wuji to seize the opportunity and leave as soon as possible.

"Are you worried that Lun Cai will come back to make trouble for me?" Mo Wuji saw Shen Muqing and felt a bit of warmth in his heart. Whether Shen Muqing was worldly or enthusiastic, she was indeed worried about him.

Shen Muqing nodded, "Yes, besides him, there are also those few great Celestial Gates. Moreover, those few Grand Celestial Emperors should have all come to the Jiao Jiao Celestial Ruins."

"Don't worry about these things. I wasn't afraid of Lun Cai back then, and naturally I won't fear him now. As for you, it's only been a few years since I last saw you, and you're already in the mid-stage of the Grand Yi Celestial Realm. Congratulations." Mo Wuji smiled and said.

Shen Muqing shook her head, "My insignificant progress is not worth mentioning in front of Pill Master Mo..."

Seeing Shen Muqing's tone was somewhat hesitant, Mo Wuji knew that she must have something she wanted to say. "Celestial Friend Muqing, we can be considered old friends, so just say whatever you want."

Shen Muqing smiled sweetly when she heard Mo Wuji's words, "It's my fault. It's like this, my Celestial Gate's Ancestor wants to meet Pill Master Mo. After I told my Ancestor about your matter back then, my Ancestor said that you would definitely be extraordinary in the future and wanted to meet you. Unfortunately, a series of things happened later, and my Ancestor was also extremely regretful. At that time, she even planned to go and mediate. I didn't expect Pill Master Mo to be blessed by the heavens. If my Ancestor knew, she would definitely be overjoyed."

Mo Wuji suddenly remembered that Shen Muqing was from Piao Hua Celestial Valley. He didn't know who the Ancestor of the Piao Hua Celestial Valley was at all. He could only ask apologetically, "Celestial Friend Muqing, I still don't know who your Ancestor is."

Shen Muqing chuckled, "Senior Brother Mo, just call me Muqing, Celestial Friend sounds a bit strange. In fact, very few people know who the Ancestor of Piao Hua Celestial Valley is. Do you know Empress Wen Lan?"

Mo Wuji nodded, "I know about that. It's rumored that Empress Wen Lan asked about the Dao by suspending a river and founded the Hanging River Celestial Sect, could it be..."

Shen Muqing nodded, "Senior Brother Mo, you guessed correctly. Piao Hua Celestial Valley is actually also protected by Ancestor Wen Lan. The one who established Piao Hua Celestial Valley back then was Celestial Maiden Piao Hua, and Celestial Maiden Piao Hua was Ancestor Wen Lan's daughter. She left the Hanging River Celestial Sect because her views were somewhat different from Ancestor Wen Lan's, and that's why she established Piao Hua Celestial Valley.

It's just that Celestial Maiden Piao Hua had an accident before Piao Hua Celestial Valley was completely established. Ancestor Wen Lan was very regretful that she shouldn't have let her daughter leave in a fit of pique. In order to fulfill her daughter's wish, she still established Piao Hua Celestial Valley."

Mo Wuji didn't ask why Celestial Maiden Piao Hua wanted to leave the Hanging River Celestial Sect, he just said, "Thank you for Senior Wen Lan's appreciation. If I can meet Senior Wen Lan at this conference, I will definitely go and greet her."

"Thank you, Senior Brother Mo. Ancestor Wen Lan will also come to the Jiao Jiao Celestial Ruins this time, you will definitely meet Ancestor Wen Lan." Shen Muqing said happily.

Because they were old friends, Mo Wuji and Shen Muqing chatted very happily.

After Shen Muqing bid farewell, Mo Wuji re-arranged the protective array of the shop. He didn't arrange a seventh-level protective array, but only arranged a fifth-level protective array.

A small shop with a fifth-level Celestial Array protecting it was already very impressive in the entire Jiao Jiao Celestial Ruins.

What more people cared about was not the protective array of this shop, but they wanted to watch the excitement. Pill Master Mo and the Xiaoyao Emperor Palace had a feud, and now that Pill Master Mo had returned, Emperor Lun Cai would definitely come to make trouble. Even if Lun Cai didn't come to make trouble, the other great Celestial Gates would also come to make trouble. They wanted to watch the excitement.

As a result, many people who wanted to watch the excitement were disappointed. Two days had passed, and not to mention Emperor Lun Cai, even the Celestial Gates such as Great Sword Dao, Thunder Sect, and Great Vast Celestial Gate, who wanted to get rid of Mo Wuji at all times, had not appeared.

At this time, the date of the Tai Shang Heavenly Gathering had arrived, and the location was still the garden of the Jiao Jiao Celestial Ruins.
