At this moment, Ling Mo Xie regarded the previous events as an inconsequential episode. In his mind, there was the State of Izumo, the Azure Emperor's gate, and the Evil Path and Righteous Path, but he did not consider the small Ling family to be significant, nor did he think the enemies within the Ling family were worth his attention.
Ling Mo Xie led Zeng Zhou and his daughter directly into Ling Siwen's tent. The tent was several hundred meters wide, lavishly decorated on the outside, and even more luxurious inside. Everything inside was comparable to Ling Siwen's study and bedroom in the Ling family.
Zeng Zhou and his daughter followed Ling Mo Xie into the tent, feeling nervous and not daring to look around.
However, the young lady was bold and curious, her big eyes darting around as her small mouth hung open in awe.
"You’re back? Hmph! You really don’t know when to quit, running off to Chiyan City to deal with the Zheng family? What did I tell you when I gave you that information?"
Ling Siwen saw Ling Mo Xie enter and completely ignored Zeng Zhou and his daughter. He stood up from behind his desk and pointed at Ling Mo Xie, unleashing a barrage of scolding.
Ling Mo Xie, however, remained unfazed. He chuckled and found a comfortable spot to lean back in, lazily saying, "Alright, alright! I'm fine, aren't I? The Zheng family isn't as formidable as you say!"
Seeing Ling Mo Xie's nonchalant demeanor only fueled Ling Siwen's anger further. He shouted, "Not formidable? Don’t think I don’t know you borrowed Wind Yiqin’s strength. You’ve killed a wolf but attracted a tiger! Who is Wind Yiqin? His family is considered a prestigious noble in the capital; do you think you can provoke him so easily?"
"Have you thought about it? If he finds out you used him as a pawn, won’t he hate you? This... this is simply not worth it! The Zheng family is just a small clan in a town; my Ling family is no weaker than them. But for such a family, you offend a big family in the capital—does that make sense?"
Ling Siwen spoke in exasperation.
Ling Mo Xie merely smiled at Ling Siwen's outburst without any sign of regret. With his arms behind his head, leaning back against the soft chair, he calmly replied, "I know. Besides, Wind Yiqin already realizes he’s been used. I heard he found out somehow that I would be going to the capital and is preparing to deal with me there."
Upon hearing this, Ling Siwen became even more anxious. He furrowed his brows and said, "Why don’t you just not go? Anyway, the map of the Wind Cloud Sword is already known to the princess; your going there won’t help at all."
After listening to Ling Siwen's words, Ling Mo Xie finally looked at him seriously but replied firmly, "I have to go to the capital! I feel like this isn’t just about a treasure map; I might discover clues about my father."
Ling Siwen looked at Ling Mo Xie and sighed deeply, saying, "I can't manage you, but there are still your father's old friends in the capital. If it comes to that, just find him. The Feng family won't be able to harm you."
Ling Mo Xie was taken aback by Ling Siwen's words. Old friends of his father? It seemed necessary to pay a visit when he went to the capital.
Ling Siwen helplessly glanced at Ling Mo Xie before turning his attention to the person next to him who was wrapped up tightly, asking, "So, who is this? What are they doing here?"
Seeing Ling Siwen sit back at his desk and inquire about him, Ling Mo Xie signaled Zeng Zhou to remove the silk covering the person completely.
Ling Siwen was startled by Zeng Zhou's appearance, furrowing his brows as he looked at Ling Mo Xie in confusion.
Ling Mo Xie crossed his legs and explained to Ling Siwen, "This is a poor soul who was taken by the Azure Emperor Sect for human experimentation."
"What? That can't be! The Azure Emperor Sect is a well-known righteous sect; how could they do such a thing?" Ling Siwen glanced at Zeng Zhou and turned to Ling Mo Xie.
"Heh, since the Azure Emperor Sect has stood strong for so long, do you really think it's a completely clean sect?" Ling Mo Xie chuckled lightly and said to Ling Siwen, "Besides, even in good rice, there are a few grains of rat droppings!"
Hearing this from Ling Mo Xie, Ling Siwen nodded. As someone who managed a family, he knew very well how many shady things these sects and families did behind the scenes to maintain their power.
"Why did you bring them here? Are you getting hot-headed and thinking you can manage this? You should consider the power of the Azure Emperor Sect; if they wanted to crush you, it would be as easy as squashing an ant. In their eyes, our Ling family is nothing."
Ling Siwen shot a disapproving glance at Ling Mo Xie.
Ling Mo Xie shrugged his shoulders and replied, "What can I say? I'm just a good person. But I'm not foolish enough to confront the Azure Emperor Sect head-on."
Ling Siwen listened to Ling Mo Xie and earnestly advised him, "If you want to do good, focus on what you can manage. It's better to turn a blind eye to things like this."
Ling Mo Xie glanced at Ling Siwen, his expression cold, and simply said, "I can't do that! If I come across it, I have to take care of it!"
Seeing Ling Mo Xie's resolute attitude, Ling Siwen sighed and shook his head, saying, "You are just like your father. Forget it; I can't control you anyway."
Ling Mo Xie was taken aback by Ling Siwen's words. What do you mean I'm just like him? That's impossible; I'm not Ling Mo Xie, I'm Zhang Xiaotian!
"What do you mean by bringing them here?" Ling Siwen stopped trying to persuade Ling Mo Xie and pointed at Zeng Zhou, asking him.
Ling Mo Xie glanced at Zeng Zhou and said, "It's nothing much; let them stay here for now!"
Ling Siwen nodded, "It's up to you! The tent on the left side of this big tent is set up for you. I don't understand why you had a child like Hong Chi bring Sun Xiaoxiao back. It's not safe outside; aren't you worried about something happening?"
"I was wondering where Sun Xiaoxiao had gone; turns out she ran off to find you. But looking at her now, it seems she's been affected by Resentment. If her Resentment flares up, I hope you..." Ling Siwen looked at Ling Mo Xie, his expression sharp, and Ling Mo Xie instantly understood what he meant.
However, he didn't directly agree but said, "Don't worry; her Resentment won't reach that point. Oh, by the way, I should let you know that my duel with Ning Qi has been changed. We're competing to see who can develop an elixir to dispel Resentment first."
Upon hearing this, Ling Siwen frowned and asked, "Are you confident? They've been studying this Resentment for a long time."
At this moment, Ling Mo Xie had already stood up and smiled at Ling Siwen, saying, "What do you think? Hehe, go help me prepare more of these Spiritual Medicine!” He then took out the recipe for the Qingyuan Pill and handed it to Ling Siwen.
