As for Ye Henshui...
That white-haired girl seems to have suffered a severe spiritual shock and is currently hiding in the bathroom, refusing to come out.
"Lord, you’re so bad."
Gu Manzhi pinched his waist in embarrassment and anger.
Being tormented like that in front of my junior sister, even with my personality, I felt a bit overwhelmed...
Chen Mo’s lips twitched, "An accident, it really was an accident."
Gu Manzhi glared at him in embarrassment and anger, "I don’t believe that, you definitely did it on purpose."
At this moment, she seemed to have thought of something and asked curiously: "But what was that black and white aura earlier? It felt quite mysterious, as if it was the Witch Sect’s technique?"
"Yes, it is indeed the Netherworld Sect’s cultivation technique, called the ’Yin Yang Reverse Time Technique.’"
Chen Mo opened his palm, and an ancient bronze sundial appeared out of nowhere, "This cultivation technique and magical treasure, I obtained them at the Southern Border."
"So this is the Erosion Light Hourglass Master mentioned?"
Gu Manzhi looked at the ancient gnomon plate, her expression curious.
Chen Mo paused in surprise at her words, "You’ve met Ji Lianxing?"
Gu Manzhi nodded and said, "Master came by the other day and told me everything that happened at the Southern Border."
She lifted her delicate chin, gazing at his handsome face with eyes full of tenderness, "Lord, thank you for saving Master."
Although she had reservations about Ji Lianxing’s unscrupulous actions for revenge, he was her mentor who nurtured her since childhood, and this bond of both teacher and parent was irreplaceable.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have hidden for years in this bustling place because of Ji Lianxing’s words...
"Actually, it can’t really be said that I saved her; it was more like cooperation." Chen Mo shook his head and said.
Despite Ji Lianxing’s ulterior motives, her presence was crucial. Without her, even if he could escape by luck, others including Ling Ningzhi might have ended up like Bai Lingchuan, being refined by the grand formation into a Blood Pill!
"After the Blood Demon’s self-destruction, Master searched for the Erosion Light Hourglass but came up empty-handed, so it turns out that lord had already taken it." Gu Manzhi commented.
Chen Mo frowned and asked, "This is Netherworld Sect’s prized treasure, requiring a corresponding cultivation technique to activate. What does Ji Lianxing want with it?"
Gu Manzhi replied helplessly, "The sect wants to rebuild itself and naturally needs to maintain appearances. The Erosion Light Hourglass and the Azure Darkness Seal are of the same tier as magical treasures, it’s better to have them than not."
"Even if Moon Brilliance Sect can’t use them, they could serve as negotiating chips to gain assistance from Netherworld Sect."
Chen Mo fell silent for a moment and said, "That Azure Darkness Seal, I will..."
Before he could finish, Gu Manzhi interrupted him, softly saying, "I know it’s difficult for you being caught in the middle, it would be best if you could retrieve the Azure Darkness Seal, but if not, it’s okay."
Her eyes were filled with deep affection, "Compared to reviving the sect, I care more about you, Lord..."
Though Gu Manzhi is the Saintess of Moon Brilliance Sect, due to her unique constitution, she has seen the ugliness of human nature from a young age and feels no particular belonging to the sect itself.
And Chen Mo was the only man to have entered her heart.
For her, Chen Mo even disregarded his own life, how could she bear to push him?
"Manzhi..."
