Ling Siwen was taken aback when he received the Dan Fang handed over by Ling Mo Xie, but soon a smile appeared on his face. That kid!
Ling Mo Xie then led Zeng Zhou and his daughter toward his tent. However, he found it strange that along the way, he encountered several members of the Ling family, but those people avoided him from a distance, leaving Ling Mo Xie puzzled.
Ling Mo Xie didn't dwell on this matter and directly entered the tent that had been set up for him by the Ling family.
Although this tent was not as luxurious and large as Ling Siwen's, it was still quite spacious and had several small compartments inside.
Hearing some noise, Xiao Chi ran out with a candied hawthorn skewer in his mouth, bouncing around as he said, "Boss, you're back! Why are they here too? Aren't they supposed to take that Young Lady child to find her mother?"
Ling Mo Xie patted Xiao Chi's head and replied, "Don't worry about that. Where's Sun Xiaoxiao?"
Xiao Chi rolled his eyes, crouched down to dodge Ling Mo Xie's hand, and pointed to a compartment separated by brocade curtains. "There, she's inside!"
Ling Mo Xie lifted the curtain to take a look. Sun Xiaoxiao was quietly lying on the bed, breathing steadily; she seemed to be fine.
"You two can find a room to settle in!" Ling Mo Xie turned to Zeng Zhou and his daughter and said, "We'll talk about anything tomorrow."
Zeng Zhou was an honest man and naturally had no objections to Ling Mo Xie's arrangements. Moreover, having heard the conversation between Ling Mo Xie and Ling Siwen earlier, he already understood that Ling Mo Xie was willing to help them, which was their greatest fortune.
Not long after arranging for them to settle in, Bai Yunfei returned, excitedly telling Ling Mo Xie how scared those commoners were when he hung Little Wood not far from their tents.
However, Ling Mo Xie wasn't very interested in the story. After chatting for a bit, he let Xiao Chi and Bai Yunfei find their own rooms to rest while he returned to his own room.
He opened the System's mission interface; he had triggered a hidden mission!
What is the Path of Immortality? (Hidden Mission): First Stage: The Righteous Path's Trials.
Mission Content: Do ten good deeds recognized by the System!
Mission Rewards: One Middle-level Healing Recipe, one Small Blood Pool, one seed of Three Flavors True Fire, and one skill book for Ice and Snow Descent.
Mission Deadline: One year.
Mission Failure Penalty: Fall into the Demonic Path.
"Doing good?" Ling Mo Xie murmured softly. What kind of task is this? However, the reward isn't bad. Since I've already accepted it, there's a punishment for failure, so I have no choice but to proceed!
Muttering to himself, Ling Mo Xie gradually fell into a deep sleep. He never wasted time on meditation and cultivation; the efficiency was simply too low.
"Ding! Congratulations! The Qingyuan Pill has been successfully refined. This time, you have harvested nine Elixirs from the Alchemy."
In his dreams, a voice from the System echoed. Ling Mo Xie turned over and continued sleeping.
The next day, Ling Mo Xie was awakened by the noise outside. Frowning, he turned over, got dressed, and walked out.
Bai Yunfei was lounging in the Hall of the tent, eating fruit and completely ignoring the commotion outside.
"What’s going on out there?" Ling Mo Xie asked Bai Yunfei.
"Oh, it’s nothing serious. I just heard that when you returned yesterday, you were stopped by a side branch disciple? They say you had someone break his legs. Although that doesn’t violate the Ling Family's rules, many side branch disciples think you’re too narrow-minded and that your punishment was too severe. So now they’re causing a ruckus outside!"
After saying this, Bai Yunfei glanced outside again. "What a bunch of cowards! They don’t even dare to rush in here but still want to make trouble?"
He then looked at Ling Mo Xie with curiosity and said, "I mean, boss, you don’t seem like that kind of person. Could it be that you really are so narrow-minded? Looks like I need to be careful! Haha!"
Ling Mo Xie knew Bai Yunfei was joking and rolled his eyes at him. "I ran into Ling Qilong when I came back yesterday. No need to say more; this mess is definitely his doing."
"What are you going to do about it?" Bai Yunfei asked Ling Mo Xie.
"What else can I do? I’ll resolve it. It seems I’ve been too lenient with my 'brothers'!" Ling Mo Xie sighed and walked out of the tent.
Outside the tent stood over a hundred side branch disciples. In the center was the disciple whose legs had been broken, being carried by others as he continuously explained something to those around him. However, the crowd was agitated and completely ignored him.
Upon seeing Ling Mo Xie emerge, the emotions of those side branch disciples became even more intense. Yet they only stood in place shouting slogans with angry expressions, not daring to rush toward Ling Mo Xie.
Ling Mo Xie scanned the crowd; his sharp gaze made many of those shouting quietly lower their heads and blend into the crowd, no longer daring to cause a scene.
"What’s going on? Don’t you have anything better to do?" Ling Mo Xie's thin lips parted slightly; his tone was calm but sent shivers down many side branch disciples' spines.
A wave of retreating emotions surged within them.
At this moment, seeing the hesitation and retreat on many faces, someone in the crowd shouted loudly, "Brothers, let's not be afraid of him! Just because he is a direct descendant, does that mean he can do whatever he wants? This brother here only spoke a few words because he didn't recognize him; it was his duty, yet he had his legs broken for it."
"This incident is happening to this brother now, but who knows when it might happen to any of you? Can you tolerate that?"
Those who were originally retreating immediately became passionate, shouting, "We can't tolerate this! He must apologize to us!"
Ling Mo Xie glanced at the person who had already blended into the crowd; Ling Qilong had indeed calculated well.
He wanted to avoid inheriting the position of family head by dealing with himself in two ways. From Grandfather's side, he had failed to achieve his goal and now wanted to approach from below. By then, even if Grandfather wanted to pass the position to him, these people would not agree.
Although Grandfather held the title of family head, he still had to consider the opinions of most clan members.
However... Ling Mo Xie sneered. His Third Brother had never considered that he had never set his sights on the position within the Ling Family.
Fighting with such a narrow-minded person was truly boring!
Ling Mo Xie ignored those shouting and cheering from the side descendants and walked toward the side descendant whose legs had been broken.
Seeing Ling Mo Xie approach, the other side descendants timidly stepped aside, repeatedly asking, "What do you want to do?"
"Did I order someone to break your legs?" Ling Mo Xie looked down at the side descendant with broken legs, Ling Wei.
