As a piece of dark chess arranged within the Frank Family, Miyu holds a significant position in the Heavenly Ninja Group. What exactly is her identity? Gong Gao Yi was once merely a wealthy merchant from Nanhua City. How did Miyu manage to get involved with the Heavenly Ninja Group?
"That's our plan. Why are you asking so many questions? Are you trying to figure out our intentions?" Miyu saw through Mo Ming's thoughts, a smug smile curling at her lips. "Even if you knew, what would it matter? You will never take this code away. It's really a waste of time to tell you."
"I'm just curious. You say I can't leave, and I suppose I really can't," Mo Ming said with a bitter smile, but inside he felt a bit pleased. Miyu didn't seem to have much guard against him, and by playing into her prideful attitude, he might have a chance to extract some information.
"You just need to understand. Stay here obediently and don't think about leaving; you will never get out!" Miyu nodded in satisfaction, feeling accomplished that she had managed to make the rumored terrifying man, Mo Ming, soften a little.
In Miyu's eyes, Mo Ming would never escape. His defenses were low, and now hearing Mo Ming's words made her feel triumphant.
Mo Ming seized on Miyu's psychology and said again, "Can't you satisfy the curiosity of someone who has lost their freedom forever? After all, even if you tell me, I can't do anything."
"Ha... that's true. I'm not worried about what you might know," Miyu laughed lightly. "Since you're so curious, I can give you a rough idea: Reed is about to die, and your Dragon Soul Gang will become the target of everyone's wrath. The angry Frank Family will level everything to the ground, and the ultimate victor will be us."
"Is your plan just to create discord between Reed and me?" Mo Ming scoffed. "That doesn't benefit you at all. Ha! Are you afraid that I might learn your true intentions and therefore refuse to tell me?"
While sowing discord was indeed part of it, the Heavenly Ninja Group's plans were clearly more than just that. What was the purpose behind this? Did they have some peculiar preference for experiencing the thrill of watching tigers fight from a mountain?
Clearly not; everything the Heavenly Ninja Group did must have some kind of objective. Otherwise, they wouldn't expend so much effort in laying everything out. As for what that objective was, Mo Ming needed to pry it out of Miyu.
"Shura, are you joking? Should I be afraid? Right now, you're my captive; you can't possibly leave here. I have no reason to fear you," Miyu sneered. "Since you want to know, I'll tell you: the source of all plans is simply for the Meteorite buried under Rider Castle—a miraculous stone that fell from the sky."
"For a piece of rock from outer space—just for the stone beneath Reed's feet—you would go to such lengths?" Mo Ming laughed maniacally. "That's insane! Just a rock from space is worth all that effort? If you need it, I can help you find countless pieces!"
"It's worth it; it's not just me wanting this but the Heavenly Ninja Group wanting it," Miyu replied with a laugh. "How foolish! If it were an ordinary Meteorite, we in the Heavenly Ninja Group could easily find countless pieces without expending so much effort."
Mo Ming mocked her response: "Isn't that right?"
This is Feigning Indifference. A Meteorite that can cause the Heavenly Ninja Group to expend so much effort in planning must have something special about it. However, to uncover the secrets of the meteorite, Feigning Indifference is more likely to achieve the goal.
"No," Miyu replied decisively. "The Meteorite underground in Rider Castle is not an ordinary Meteorite; it has the ability to absorb Spiritual Energy from the world. If one possesses it, they can use it to reach a higher realm. Isn't that something many people dream of?"
A Meteorite that can absorb Spiritual Energy—Spiritual Energy is merely a gas described by cultivators, but who can prove its existence? Everyone has heard of oxygen, nitrogen, and other gases, but Mo Ming was hearing about Spiritual Energy for the first time in reality; it sounded too mythical to accept.
"Are you joking?" Mo Ming frowned and said, "It's just a piece of jade; you’ve turned it into a myth. If it had such effects, why wouldn’t Reed make good use of it?"
"That's because Reed doesn’t know. If we hadn’t learned about this from an ancient historical book, we wouldn’t even know this thing exists," Miyu said seriously.
"Oh, do you think an ancient historical book is credible? Ancient people pursued ideals over reality, and everything was filled with mythological elements. How much of what’s in ancient texts can be trusted?"
Mo Ming didn’t openly admit it, but Miyu's words had overturned his understanding of the world. Remembering the conversation with the young man near the airport, he found himself believing in the effects of Hetian Warm Orchid Jade somewhat.
Existence itself is reasonable; this vast world is full of wonders. What exists must have its place.
If Hetian Warm Orchid Jade truly exists as Miyu described, Mo Ming would indeed be interested in obtaining it, as its ability to absorb Spiritual Energy would be extremely useful.
Mo Ming clearly remembered a passage from the ancient book "Spirit Gathering Technique" that Lord Qian had gifted him: "If heaven and earth remain unchanged and Spiritual Energy is abundant, cultivating internal strength is not difficult; only the way matters, and what practitioners seek."
The meaning of that passage suggests that if there is ample Spiritual Energy for cultivation, then developing internal strength should not be a problem—this is precisely the realm pursued by practitioners of internal martial arts.
This means that possessing Hetian Warm Orchid Jade with the ability to absorb Spiritual Energy makes cultivating internal power quite feasible.
Perhaps it really is too mythical; however, Mo Ming preferred to believe in its existence. Nature is too wondrous—who can deny everything?
"Spiritual Energy should be the core of the Seventh Master book, which might solve the problem of Spiritual Energy; perhaps the mysteries of ancient texts will be unraveled," Mo Ming thought to himself.
"It doesn't matter if you don't believe it. I'm not trying to convince you of anything. Asura, just stay here and heal your wounds. I'll come back next time."
Mo Ming was curious about Miyu's identity because she had taken risks, acting as a hidden weapon within the Frank Family, yet her status in the Heavenly Ninja Group was not low.
If that were the case, didn't the Heavenly Ninja Group fear that Miyu's identity would be exposed?
What puzzled Mo Ming the most was that Gong Gao Yi was once merely a wealthy merchant from Nanhua City. How did Miyu manage to get involved with the Heavenly Ninja Group?
"That's our plan. Why are you asking so many questions? Are you trying to figure out our intentions?" Miyu saw through Mo Ming's thoughts, a smug smile on her lips as she said, "Even if you knew, what could you do? You will never take this code away. It's really a waste of time to tell you."
"I'm just curious. You say I can't get out; I suppose I really can't," Mo Ming said with a bitter smile, but inside he felt a bit pleased. Miyu had very little guard against him; by playing into her prideful attitude, he might have a chance to extract some information.
"You just need to understand. Stay here obediently and don't think about getting out; you will never leave!" Miyu nodded in satisfaction, feeling accomplished that she had managed to make this supposedly terrifying man soften up.
In Miyu's view, Mo Ming would never be able to leave; his defenses were low. Hearing Mo Ming's words now made her feel triumphant.
Mo Ming seized on Miyu's psychology and said again, "Can't you satisfy the curiosity of someone who has lost their freedom forever? Anyway, even if you tell me, I can't do anything."
"Well... that's true. I'm not worried about what you might know," Miyu giggled and said, "Since you're so curious, I can give you a rough idea: Reed is about to die, and your Dragon Soul Gang will become the target of everyone's wrath, bringing the furious Frank Family down upon you. The ultimate victor will be us."
"Is your plan just to create discord between Reed and me?" Mo Ming scoffed and said, "That doesn't benefit you at all. Are you afraid that I might discover your true intentions and thus refuse to tell me?"
While sowing discord was indeed part of it, the so-called plan of the Heavenly Ninja Group was far more than that. What was their real intention? Did they have some special preference for experiencing the thrill of watching tigers fight from a mountain?
It is evident that everything the Heavenly Ninja Group does must have some purpose; otherwise, they wouldn't go to such lengths to orchestrate everything. As for what that purpose is, Mo Ming needs to extract it from Miyu.
"Are you joking, Ashura? Should I be afraid? You are my prisoner now; you can't possibly leave here, so I have no reason to fear you," Miyu scoffed, smiling disdainfully. "Since you want to know, I'll tell you. The source of all the plans is simply the Meteorite buried beneath Rider Castle, a miraculous stone that fell from the sky."
"All for a stone that fell from the sky? All for the stone under Reed's feet? You're willing to go to any lengths?" Mo Ming laughed maniacally. "That's insane! It's just a stone from outer space; is it really worth all that? If you need it, I can help you find countless others!"
"It is worth it. It's not that I want to do this; it's that the Heavenly Ninja Group wants to do this. Do you think that stone is an ordinary stone?" Miyu replied with a smile. "How foolish! If it were an ordinary Meteorite, we in the Heavenly Ninja Group could find countless ones without expending so much effort."
Mo Ming mocked, "Isn't that so?"
This is Feigning Indifference. A Meteorite could cause the Heavenly Ninja Group to expend so much effort in planning; it must have something special about it. However, wanting to know the secret of the Meteorite, Feigning Indifference would achieve its goal more easily.
"No," Miyu answered decisively. "The Meteorite beneath Rider Castle is not an ordinary Meteorite; it has the ability to absorb Spiritual Energy from heaven and earth. Possessing it allows one to reach a higher realm; isn't that something many people dream of?"
A Meteorite capable of absorbing Spiritual Energy—Spiritual Energy is merely a gas described by cultivators, but who can prove its existence?
Everyone has heard of gases like oxygen and nitrogen, but Mo Ming does not believe in the existence of Spiritual Energy; it sounds too mythical. That is a gas absorbed by ancient practitioners seeking immortality, and suddenly having it happen in reality is something no one can accept.
"You could write a book; your storytelling is excellent!" Mo Ming mocked. "I am a new-age person who believes in science. I don't believe in any supernatural beings or ghosts. If that Meteorite were truly so useful, why hasn't Reed discovered it yet?"
