Chapter 1423: Chapter 1423: It’s the Thought That Counts Chapter 1423: Chapter 1423: It’s the Thought That Counts The appearance of Lu Changsheng and Mo Yu left Mo Ling, Mo Xing, and the three supporting Mo Family elders somewhat astonished and doubtful.

Staring at the corpses strewn all around, Mo Ling opened his mouth wide and turned to Mo Yu, saying, “Eldest Miss…who is this person?”

With hands on her hips and her chin lifted proudly, Mo Yu declared, “Impressive, right? This is my master!”

Master?

Mo Ling and Mo Xing looked at Lu Changsheng in surprise, now without his black robe. The distinguished Miss of the Mo Family actually became a disciple to someone else?

Only the three Mo Family elders stared at Lu Changsheng with solemn faces.

At that moment, Mo Xing, clasping his hands in respect, said, “We thank the senior for saving us; we owe you a great debt of gratitude. However, Mo Yu is our Mo Family’s Eldest Miss. Surely you are aware of her status?”

Lu Changsheng nodded.

“There are two separate matters here. We will repay the favor we owe you as seniors, but as the Eldest Miss could possibly inherit the entire Mo Family in the future, what do you think, as her master…”

Before Mo Xing could finish, the three Mo Family elders and Mo Yu simultaneously shouted, “Hold your tongue!”

Mo Xing was taken aback. It was one thing for Mo Yu to stop him, but why did the three elders also interrupt?

Mo Yu, puffing with anger, was about to say something when she saw the three elders step forward, bow deeply with their hands clasped, and address Lu Changsheng, “We apologize, senior. The junior members of our family are used to being arrogant, but they don’t mean any harm. Please don’t take it to heart.”

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng casually waved his hand.

As they say, would you stoop to quarrel with a barking dog?

Clearly not.

Seeing this, the three elders heaved a sigh of relief, and Mo Ling, witnessing this scene, also looked at Lu Changsheng with newfound solemnity.

The people of the Mo Family were very proud, especially the three elders, who were of high standing and strong power.

The person who could make them bow and clasp their hands must have been recognized as someone extraordinary.

“Let’s do this, if the senior would please accompany the Eldest Miss back to the Mo Family. The Miss taking a master is a major event for our whole family, and we should discuss it with the family head,” one of the elders said with a smile.

Mo Yu looked at Lu Changsheng and said, “It’s okay, Master. If you don’t want to go, then we won’t. I’ll do as you say!”

Upon hearing this, the three elders couldn’t help but smile wryly.

After a moment’s thought, Lu Changsheng smiled and said, “Alright, let’s meet.”

After all, she was the princess of a great family. If he didn’t go to dispel their concerns, it would likely lead to more trouble later on.

Like sending people to monitor him, or if they were particularly nasty, sending someone to hinder him.

It would be better to make a trip to the Mo Family than to deal with that.

The three elders all breathed a sigh of relief, smiled, and gestured for Lu Changsheng to follow, saying, “Senior, please.”

Subsequently, the group boarded a shuttlecraft and, with a “whoosh,” disappeared from the spot.

…

Meanwhile, inside Tongtian City.

The news of the massacre just outside the city had spread to the ears of all powers.

At Holy Light Academy.

Miao Youzhi looked at the leading elder, his face grave, and asked, “Elder, are the vice deans really dead?”

The elder nodded solemnly, “We don’t even know who did it; they left behind not the slightest trace of their presence.”

Miao Youzhi clenched his teeth, “It’s all my fault… When I grow stronger, I will certainly seek revenge!”

The elder shook his head and replied, “Those deaths were probably at the hands of the Mo Family; they have a backup plan. Dealing with an ancient aristocratic family like the Mo Family…don’t act rashly and focus on your cultivation.”

In the Chaos Realm, killing and looting were daily occurrences, but being killed in retaliation was not uncommon.

Everyone had become numb to such events.

Especially when the opponent was the Mo Family…

Other powers also guessed that someone from the Mo Family had acted and could only give up one after another.

Mixed Spirit Academy’s residence, Jiu Bailu had also arrived at this place, similarly talking about this matter.

“Could it have been done by the Mo Family?” Blackie said.

Mu Fusheng and several others, as well as Gu Sheng, all nodded in agreement.

Since they were confident, they also had their precautions in place.

No one suspected Lu Changsheng.

That was also the reason why Lu Changsheng didn’t dispose of the bodies but only retracted his presence.

Since the Mo Family was a major clan of Tianji Continent, they wouldn’t bother clearing all the corpses after a murder, holding an arrogant mindset that it wouldn’t matter if others knew.

Sure enough, not even Mu Fusheng and the others leaned towards the possibility that the master did it.

Even if one went to the scene, it would probably be hard to tell it was Lu Changsheng’s handiwork.

At that moment, Jiu Bailu took out the Nine Chains Thunder Chain and handed it to Mu Fusheng.

“Wishing you to shine brilliantly in the quota competition.”

At this, everyone’s attention was pulled away from the killing outside the city, and they looked at Mu Fusheng with ambiguous or envious eyes.

Qin Chi felt helpless inside. He also harbored affection for Jiu Bailu, but considering the current situation, it was probably best not to humiliate himself by acting on it.

Gu Sheng, on the other hand, burst into laughter and said, “Brother Mu, it seems Your Highness the Princess has deep affection and commitment towards you!”

Mu Fusheng accepted it helplessly and said, “Next time, there’s no need to spend a fortune to buy things for me.”

“Aren’t you also the one who gave me a shawl?” Jiu Bailu smiled lightly.

“Isn’t that just one of the favors owed?” Mu Fusheng glared and said, “Besides, the value of that and the price of this are totally disproportionate!”

At this point, Tan Zongzhao patted Mu Fusheng’s shoulder and said, “I really don’t know if you’re pretending to be dumb or really are dumb.”

Jiu Bailu smiled and said, “Then consider yourself owing me two more favors… Besides, I really like the shawl. In my eyes, it’s equivalent to this chain, regardless of the price.”

Mu Fusheng almost fainted.

Two more favors???

Why did he feel like he got played?

“Does the Nine Dragon Divine Dynasty really have so many Flawless Mixed Element Stones?” Mu Fusheng shook his head helplessly, “Don’t squander it all away.”

“How about it, do you want to come with me to the Divine Dynasty to check it out? I bet we still wouldn’t use it all up.” Jiu Bailu looked at Mu Fusheng with a smile.

Mu Fusheng’s heart fluttered, and his face, unusually, blushed.

The people around them burst into laughter.

If you can’t understand what that meant, you might as well not be a man.

“Alright, there are only two days left until the quota competition starts. You’d better rest up.” Having said that, without waiting for Mu Fusheng to respond, she turned around elegantly and drifted away.

Mu Fusheng watched Jiu Bailu’s departing figure and couldn’t help but smile wryly.

Beside him, Blackie patted Mu Fusheng’s shoulder and said, “She’s a good girl, perhaps consider it?”

Mu Fusheng didn’t speak.

To be with Jiu Bailu would undoubtedly go against his own plans for himself.

Moreover, it would certainly bring endless troubles in the future.

Yet, Jiu Bailu’s so evident affection also made it hard for Mu Fusheng to resist.

Looking at the Nine Chains Thunder Chain he was holding in his hands, it felt light, yet at that moment, it weighed heavily on Mu Fusheng…

Ah, how annoying.

He didn’t expect things of the heart to be harder to deal with than the troubles his senior brother got into…
