Chapter 1442: Chapter 1442: Mo Family Mo Xun (2/4) Chapter 1442: Chapter 1442: Mo Family Mo Xun (2/4) Yulin City was neither too large nor too small.

Under Ai Zhi’s guidance, Ye Qiubai arrived at the very edge of Yulin City, where there was a small attic. There were no other buildings nearby, just a wasteland, and beyond the wasteland lay other houses.

This made the small attic seem quite out of place.

Ai Zhi explained, “Senior Mo does not like to be disturbed, not even by a bit of noise, so the City Lord Manor purchased this large plot of land just for him.”

“Moreover, whether or not he agrees to meet someone largely depends on his mood. If he’s in a bad mood, he definitely won’t respond to your request, Brother Ye.”

Ye Qiubai smiled faintly and said, “There are never any absolutes; if you bring out something that interests him, there’s no such thing as a refusal. All rejections are simply because the offer isn’t tempting enough.”

Having said that, he walked straight across the wasteland to the door of the attic, with Ai Zhi hurrying after him.

The attic was constructed entirely of special wood and appeared to be filled with many mechanisms.

Seeing this, Ye Qiubai knocked on the wooden door.

Suddenly, a clattering sound of objects falling and heavy footsteps came from inside the house, and the wooden door was pushed open forcefully from the inside.

An old man with a head full of white hair and a scruffy beard said with an ugly expression, “I don’t care who you are, but by disturbing me at this time, there’s no need to talk about anything else!”

“Now, this instant, get the hell out!”

Ai Zhi quickly said, “Senior Mo, my father sent me to bring him to you. Please don’t be angry.”

Mo Xun looked at Ai Zhi and frowned, “I should have said that if you want to see me, you need to send a message in advance.”

Ai Zhi responded with a pained expression, “But it’s an urgent matter…”

Mo Xun slammed the wooden door shut again and left a message as he did so, “I’ve said it before, it’s unacceptable for anyone to disturb me without permission!”

Seeing this,

Ai Zhi gave a wry smile and looked at Ye Qiubai, saying, “Brother Ye… I’m sorry, I should have informed Senior Mo in advance.”

Ye Qiubai didn’t seem to mind and instead looked at the closed wooden door and asked, “Senior, are you from the Mo Family of Tianji Continent?”

Ai Zhi was slightly startled.

And the bustling sounds inside the house once again came to a halt.

After five breaths’ time, the wooden door was opened once more.

Mo Xun looked at Ye Qiubai, his face no longer angry but now serious. He sized up Ye Qiubai and said, “Come in and talk.”

At his words, Ye Qiubai walked into the wooden house.

Seeing this, Ai Zhi also wanted to enter, but Mo Xun closed the door directly and said, “You go back.”

Ai Zhi was taken aback, pouted, and muttered softly before leaving the small attic to wait on the periphery of the wasteland.

Inside the small attic.

Ye Qiubai surveyed his surroundings. There were no puppets, but there was a large array of wooden mechanical weapons scattered all over the room. It looked chaotic, and even finding a place to step required extreme caution.

Mo Xun pulled out a wooden chair from somewhere, sat down and didn’t bother about Ye Qiubai, who was still standing there.

He got straight to the point and asked, “You’re from Tianji Continent?”

Ye Qiubai nodded.

“How did you know I’m from the Mo Family?” Mo Xun asked indifferently.

Upon hearing this, Ye Qiubai explained, “I’ve met people from the Mo Family before, and I’ve heard that they are very skilled with puppets and mechanisms. Moreover, the scent of the wood on your attic’s hardwood is identical to that of the puppet’s wood scent I encountered before.”

Add to that, your surname is Mo.

Mo Xun nodded, “Yes, this attic of mine is indeed constructed from the wood used for creating puppet exteriors, so you must have had contact with core members of the Mo Family, as only core members are permitted to utilize this type of wood for puppet craft.”

“Well then, since you have ties with the Mo Family, there’s no need to discuss further matters.”

With that, he waved his hand, ready to show the guest out.

Ye Qiubai was slightly taken aback.

So, he was invited in just to be asked about this?

“Do you have a grudge against the Mo Family, Senior?”

Mo Xun waved his hand, “It’s just a difference in philosophy. I have long since severed ties with the Mo Family.”

Ye Qiubai didn’t ask like an idiot why he left the Mo Family; instead, he said with a smile, “Then why are you so sure I’m connected to the Mo Family, Senior? What if I held a grudge against them? Moreover, you haven’t even asked me why I came here. It seems, Senior, you’re just someone who jumps to conclusions.”

Ye Qiubai was still unaware of Mo Yu’s existence.

Upon hearing this, Mo Xun frowned and looked at Ye Qiubai, “Do you have a grudge against the Mo Family?”

“No,” Ye Qiubai replied straightforwardly.

Mo Xun’s eyes twitched.

“But that doesn’t mean I have any particular affiliation with them, I’ve just encountered them.”

Mo Xun burst into an angry laugh, clearly annoyed by Ye Qiubai’s words, “Boy, you sure have a sharp tongue. So, what exactly is it that you want from me?”

“Sea vessel.”

“Sea vessel?” Mo Xun frowned, “Just a sea vessel, and you’re connected to the Ai Family, right? Why don’t you have them find someone else then?”

Ye Qiubai responded, “Like I said, the head of the Ai Family told me only you, Senior, could meet my requirements.”

At this, Mo Xun’s eyes lit up.

And Ye Qiubai caught that glint.

“I’m rather curious to hear just how demanding your conditions are,” Mo Xun said with interest.

Ye Qiubai spoke indifferently, “At the very least, Ancestral Realm, with no upper limit.”

Then, taking out a sea chart brought from the Ai Family, he pointed to the depths of the Qingming Sea and said, “At least let me reach here, able to withstand the assaults from the magical beasts of the sea and the pounding of the waves.”

Mo Xun looked at the map and immediately sneered, “Ancestral Realm? To get there, you’d need at least a Demigod high-grade sea vessel to make it, and that’s only if you’re extremely lucky to come back alive.”

“Young man, do you know what’s there?”

Ye Qiubai shook his head; he only followed the aura of the Qingyun Order, and this place is where the aura lingered the longest.

Seeing Ye Qiubai’s ignorance, Mo Xun said sarcastically, “You dare to go courting death without even knowing this much? You’re merely at the Beginner Stage of the Ancestral Realm.”

True, in these past days of adventuring and trials, Ye Qiubai had successfully entered the Ancestral Realm.

“There, a Demigod high-grade can only withstand the lashings of the waves and the collisions of some magical beasts, but in the depths of the Qingming Sea, there resides a Qingming Beast, the king of that region, with strength reaching the Divine Realm.”

“If you dare to approach, once you encounter it, you’re bound to die.”

Having said this, Mo Xun waved his hand, “Considering you’re from the Tianji Continent, here’s a friendly tip: you might as well give up on this idea.”

Yet Ye Qiubai simply smiled, “Whether I go or not is my issue, Senior. Since it requires a Demigod high-grade ship, you just worry about building it.”

Mo Xun scoffed, “Oh? I would like to hear why on earth I should bother helping you.”

Ye Qiubai replied, “Because I can let you unleash your full creativity, and no matter the material, I can procure whatever you require, Senior.”
