"This book, 'Spirit Gathering Technique,' is no simple matter. My master devoted his entire life to studying it but still couldn't grasp its essence. My aptitude is not high, and despite struggling with it for half my life, I have achieved nothing, disappointing his expectations."
Lord Qian was suddenly filled with emotion, his eyes flickering with a hint of nostalgia, likely missing his mentor.
Mo Ming and Huang Siye quietly stood by, not disturbing Lord Qian's thoughts.
After a long while, Lord Qian regained his composure, shaking his head with a bitter smile. "Alas, I really am getting old; my ambitions have faded, leaving only countless sentiments. Mo Ming, here’s the book for you. You should understand my intentions—comprehend its true meaning and let me know so that I can tell my master at his grave. That would leave me without regrets in this life!"
Mo Ming nodded. Lord Qian had shown him kindness by giving him the Qilin Seal and the 'Spirit Gathering Technique.' He was determined to fulfill his mentor's wish.
"Seventh Master, don't worry. My aptitude is poor, and I can't guarantee that I'll comprehend its principles. However, I can promise that I will exhaust my life trying to find the answers!"
"Good, good! With your promise, I feel reassured. No need to be humble; I can see you have great potential. Once the time is right, understanding its true meaning won't be difficult!"
Lord Qian nodded with satisfaction but suddenly became melancholic. "I wonder if I will live to see that day. Mo Ming, if I'm no longer around, I hope you'll visit my grave and let me know. Also, please go to Wudang Mountain and inform my master Zhou Tianing."
"That won't happen! I believe Seventh Master will enjoy great fortune and longevity. Once I comprehend the true meaning, I will definitely inform you. As for matters concerning your mentor, I think it would be most appropriate for you to handle them," Mo Ming quickly replied.
"Haha, you're quite eloquent! I'll take your good words as a blessing," Lord Qian smiled, eyeing Mo Ming strangely, prompting Mo Ming to check himself for any issues.
"Seventh Master, is there something wrong with me?"
Huang Siye, having been by Seventh Master's side for many years, easily guessed his thoughts and burst into laughter. "Kid, you're doing just fine; there's nothing wrong!"
"Uh..." Mo Ming forced a smile.
"Mo Ming, what do you think of my granddaughter Qianqian?" Lord Qian asked with a grin.
With that question, Mo Ming understood Seventh Master's intention—he was looking for a match for his granddaughter!
Since Lord Qian had asked, even if it was awkward, Mo Ming smiled and replied, "She's great—beautiful and kind-hearted."
"Exactly! My Qianqian is wonderful in every way. So why won't you accept her?"
"Lord Qian" said with a hint of reproach, "You don't know, when she doesn't see you for a day, she can nag me for half the day. I can see her soul is with you, but afraid that you might dislike her, she can only refrain from disturbing you!"
Upon hearing this, "Mo Ming" was astonished. If "Lord Qian" hadn't mentioned it, he truly wouldn't have known how infatuated "Jun Qianqian" was with him!
He had originally thought that "Jun Qianqian" hadn't come to find him because her feelings for him had gradually faded, but "Mo Ming" didn't expect that her feelings were still as strong as ever!
"Mo Ming" bitterly smiled to himself. What merit did he possess that made both "Murong Lian" and "Lin Yuan'er" infatuated with him? Now even "Jun Qianqian" felt the same way.
Was he really going to let "Jun Qianqian" down?
"Seventh Master, you know I'm not alone. Even if I accept 'Qianqian', she would only get a part of me, which is too unfair to her. Besides, my current situation is too dangerous; I don't want her to suffer alongside me," "Mo Ming" explained.
"You young man, at such a young age, you're even more closed-minded than I am!" "Lord Qian" admonished. "You have quite the skills, and it's normal to have beautiful women around you. I don't care if you have a wife or not; I'm not forcing you to do anything. I just hope you can give 'Qianqian' a chance and give yourself a chance too. Don't deliberately avoid her, alright?" "Lord Qian" added, "I only have this one precious granddaughter. If she falls into depression because of you, I won't let you off easily!"
"I have to say something too," "Fourth Master" interjected. "You stole our 'Qianqian's heart and plan to run away irresponsibly; isn't that a bit too casual?" "Huang Siye" snorted coldly. "Listen here, marry my 'Qianqian' immediately! No matter how many wives you have, as long as you treat her well, that's all that matters. Otherwise, I won't spare you!"
Wow—aren't they forcing me?
"Mo Ming" looked frustrated and said, "Seventh Master, Fourth Master, matters of the heart cannot be forced. A reluctant fruit isn't sweet, right? Forcing us together isn't a good solution. However, I can promise you that I won't deliberately avoid 'Qianqian'. Let's take things naturally; if we really develop feelings for each other, wouldn't that be better?"
"Alright, it's settled then! You better not go back on your word; otherwise, I'll cripple you with one slap!" "Lord Qian" said somewhat harshly but with a look of satisfaction.
That night, "Lord Qian" and "Huang Siye" kept "Mo Ming" company for an all-night chat. It was mostly casual conversation without discussing anything particularly important.
The next morning, before "Mo Ming" had even closed his eyes, "Seventh Master" called for "Night Peak" to take him to the airport.
"Night Peak" was not very talkative; "Mo Ming" exchanged a few pleasantries with him but didn't say much else.
The journey was quiet, and they arrived at the airport quite early before boarding time.
"Brother Ye, it's still early, you don't have to accompany me. You can head back."
Night Peak shook his head slightly, a faint smile on his lips, and said, "What should I go back for? Lord Qian instructed me to follow you to Y Country and ensure your safety."
"Uh, ensure my safety?" Mo Ming was taken aback. "Seventh Master was with me all night last night; when did he instruct you?"
"He instructed me a few days ago, and I've already bought the plane tickets. Do you think I can't protect you?" Night Peak smiled.
"No, Brother Ye, don't misunderstand. I didn't mean that; I'm just a bit surprised by Lord Qian's foresight. With you protecting me, why not?" Mo Ming quickly shook his head and smiled. "Since Seventh Master has arranged it, I won't say more. Thank you for your trouble, Brother Ye."
"It's no trouble at all. Originally, Seventh Master planned to send Frenzied Warrior with you, but I insisted that he let me accompany you instead," Night Peak said with unwavering determination in his eyes.
"Why?" Mo Ming was slightly surprised by Night Peak's actions; what was this about volunteering to be a bodyguard?
"Because I want to achieve something big with you. Seventh Master agreed to my decision. He advised me before to go out and make my own way, but at that time I couldn't find the right opportunity. Since Seventh Master has done me a favor, I wanted to stay by his side for a few years," Night Peak explained. "However, upon meeting you, I felt my opportunity had come. I don't want to miss this chance, so here I am."
"Brother Ye, on what basis do you think I'm your opportunity?" Mo Ming stared intently at Night Peak.
"Based on my intuition. From the first time we met, I sensed you were extraordinary. The events that followed only confirmed my thoughts; you are the opportunity I've been waiting for. Brother, let me work with you!" Night Peak expressed his thoughts without hesitation.
"Alright then, since Brother Ye has this idea, I won't refuse. Welcome aboard!" Mo Ming smiled.
Night Peak is a talented individual who has been by Seventh Master's side for a long time and is well-versed in various matters. With his help, it will be much easier for Mo Ming to develop his own influence.
"Hehe, Mo Ming brother, I have high hopes for you. I believe you won't disappoint me. Following you, I can achieve the life I've always wanted!"
Mo Ming patted Night Peak's shoulder and said, "I hope not to let you down either."
Suddenly recalling Night Peak's mention of Frenzied Warrior earlier, Mo Ming curiously asked, "Brother Ye, who is this Frenzied Warrior you mentioned? I've never heard of him before."
"Oh him? It's normal that you haven't heard of him; he's like a shadow and doesn't easily show himself. I haven't seen him in a long time either."
"Night Peak" smiled and said, "The 'Frenzied Warrior' is the leader of the power that 'Seventh Master' gave you. His strength is quite extraordinary. Now that you are the owner of the 'Qilin Seal,' he will obey your commands. You two will meet one day."
"Alright, let's not talk about other things for now. Let's find a place to eat something first."
"Mo Ming" hadn't had breakfast when he came out, and he was a bit hungry. "Night Peak" hadn't eaten either, so the two of them found a restaurant near the airport.
Since the restaurant was close to the airport, it was crowded with customers, with a line stretching out the door, indicating that the food there must be good.
With plenty of time before boarding, "Mo Ming" didn't mind waiting and joined "Night Peak" in line for breakfast.
The restaurant was very efficient, and the long line quickly diminished by more than half. Just as they were getting close to ordering, a guy wearing sunglasses came over with a group of thugs.
"Get lost, all of you! Today, I 'Brother Long' have something to discuss with them; no more selling food!"
The guy in sunglasses called himself "Brother Long," pushing aside the two people at the front of the line while shouting.
"Hey, why are you being so rude? Why push me?"
One taller young man who had just been shoved by "Brother Long" stood up, brushing off the dust from his clothes and looking a bit indignant, wanting to seek justice.
"What do you mean pushing you?" "Brother Long" glanced around with a sneer on his lips, then suddenly slapped the young man's face hard.
That young man looked tall but lacked strength; he was directly knocked down to the ground.
"Damn it! You reckless kid, trying to act tough with me, 'Brother Long'?" The leader pointed at his own nose and said, "Brothers, teach him a lesson!"
Just as those thugs were about to rush forward, someone from inside the restaurant immediately came out and blocked "Brother Long's" men.
"'Brother Long,' don't! Don't start anything. If you have issues, come at me; don't make things difficult for innocent people."
"Fine, if I'm not making it hard for him, then I'll make it hard for you. When are you going to pay back your brother's debt to our casino?" "Brother Long" nonchalantly picked his nose and then wiped his finger on that person's clothes.
The person must be the shop Boss. He had a sorrowful expression and said, "Brother Long, please give me a little more time. I really can't pay that much; the interest is almost more than the debt itself."
With a loud slap, Brother Long struck the shop Boss and said, "Are you implying that we're trying to cheat you?"
"No, no, I wouldn't dare! Brother Long, please just give me a bit more time!"
"I'm not trying to make things difficult for you. How about this: if you give me ten thousand today, I won't smash your stall," Brother Long feigned a sympathetic demeanor.
"I really can't come up with that much..."
Brother Long's face suddenly turned ferocious as he raised his hand to slap the shop Boss again. Just as his palm was about to hit the Boss's cheek, a stone flew through the air and struck Brother Long's hand hard.
"Who the hell dares to sneak attack me? Show yourself!" Brother Long cried out in pain, clutching his hand in fury.
"Are you talking about me?" A young man walked over with a faint smile on his face, seemingly unfazed by Brother Long and his gang's fierce demeanor.
"This person is skilled!" Mo Ming noticed the young man and felt a hint of surprise, as he sensed a pressure emanating from him!
