The next day when Lin Mo got up and left the house, he unexpectedly encountered a woman.
This woman was someone Lin Mo had seen yesterday at the boxing match, accompanying Xia Mengdie.
Seeing the confusion in Lin Mo's eyes, Miao Zhu coldly regarded him and, after a long pause, finally spoke, "Here, this is for you. Your elder sister said she injured you yesterday and told you to take these Pills to heal your wounds."
Lin Mo took the small bottle from her hand with a sense of resignation. Xia Mengdie thought she had injured him yesterday, but the blood that flowed from the corner of his mouth was merely due to a surge of emotion, not because of any harm she might have caused him, even if she had attacked him with her full strength.
However, Lin Mo naturally felt no need to explain this and asked instead, "What's your elder sister's name? Where are you going?"
Miao Zhu initially didn't know the details of the incident; only that morning had Miao Xin given her a bottle of Pills to deliver to Lin Mo, saying that she had injured him the day before.
Miao Zhu well knew her elder sister was someone cold on the outside but warm on the inside. She agreed to deliver the medicine to Lin Mo, but didn't expect him to be so persistent. A chill of anger naturally showed on her face as she coldly said,
"Don't concern yourself with my elder sister's name, and not every woman is someone you can pursue. My sister is a pure and noble fairy. Are you even worthy of her? A toad lusting after swan meat."
Hearing the woman's words, the corners of Lin Mo's mouth lifted into an indifferent smile. He wasn't using any Magic to cover his face now, and the face he revealed was as handsome as a movie star's, causing many senseless women to scream when he walked down the street. However, it was the first time he'd been called a 'toad'.
This further confirmed Lin Mo's belief that only those women who pursued Cultivation had such discernment, not being deceived by a man's appearance and instead admiring those who truly had strength and powerful abilities, not just a handsome facade.
"Moreover, I warn you not to entertain any thoughts about my elder sister, or next time it won't just be a simple injury," Miao Zhu huffed coldly, then turned and left.
Lin Mo, holding the small bottle in his hand, carefully put it away, his gaze thoughtful. If he tried to seek out Xia Mengdie now, she likely wouldn't believe what he said, and from the information he'd gathered so far, it seemed Xia Mengdie had indeed joined some Sect, but for some reason had lost her memory.
"It seems this matter can't be rushed; I must investigate it slowly," Lin Mo sighed.
Miao Zhu, upon reaching the ground floor, saw a graceful woman and snorted, "Elder sister, you are too kindhearted. As for that kind of debauchee, I wouldn't bother about him."
Miao Xin's face was always devoid of sorrow or joy, her indifferent eyes making one feel somewhat heartache. She herself didn't know why she had thought to bring medicine for Lin Mo.
"Enough, let's not talk about that person right now. Yesterday, the Purple Spirit Pearl already detected that person's whereabouts. Let's continue the investigation and finish this matter sooner, so we can return to our Sect," Miao Xin said gently furrowing her brows.
Suddenly, Miao Xin pinched a spell and struck Miao Zhu with it. Miao Zhu was startled but felt no pain, her face turning pale with shock, "Elder sister, what are you doing?"
"There was a tracking talisman placed on you," Miao Xin said, and indeed a transparent talisman flew from Miao Zhu's body and spontaneously burned to ash.
Miao Zhu's face showed astonishment, unaware that she had been marked with a tracking talisman. She widened her eyes and said, "Was it that guy who just did this?"
"It's impossible, I've already observed him, he's just an ordinary person, he shouldn't know magic," Miao Xin said with a frown. "The people of the Ghost Witch Sect are skilled in ghost control, talismans, and spells, perhaps that person used magic to leave something on you. Could he have already noticed us?"
In fact, Miao Xin's cultivation was too low. Given Lin Mo's current late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation, unless he intentionally exposed himself or someone of equal strength appeared, it would generally be impossible to discover that he was a cultivator.
…
Standing at the doorway of the room, Lin Mo became lost in thought for a moment. Sensing that his tracking talisman had been destroyed, he furrowed his brow. Xia Mengdie was exceptionally intelligent and meticulous by nature. It was quite normal for her to have discovered it.
However, there seemed to be some treasure on Xia Mengdie and that woman, as Lin Mo could not sense their presence at all with his Divine Sense. But just now, Miao Zhu and Miao Xin's conversation had clearly reached his ears.
Listening to their conversation, it seemed they had left the Mountain Gate this time to search for someone and retrieve something as a task.
"Master." While Lin Mo was contemplating, Bald Xie had already brought people over and stood respectfully in front of him. "Master, the second master had urgent business and left for the countryside last night, he probably won't make it back today, but he asked for the master to visit the Chu Family to help out. Once the task is accomplished, whatever the master desires, the second master will agree."
Lin Mo wasn't in the mood to bother with Chu Feiwan's affairs, but then he thought that the Chu Family was known for attracting strange individuals. And both Miao Xin and Miao Yan were also tracking a mysterious person—could that person be at the Chu Family?
Thinking this, Lin Mo's eyes lit up, and he immediately nodded his head.
Leaving the hotel with Bald Xie and the others, just as they reached the door, they saw a black Mercedes and a fiery red Ferrari parked outside.
"Miss."
Bald Xie walked over to the Ferrari, looking at the woman sitting inside, and bowed respectfully.
It turned out, sitting in the Ferrari was a woman in her early twenties, dressed in an off-shoulder plaid crop top that revealed her fair and smooth skin and a flat belly, paired with a short skirt showing off her shapely, fair legs, instantly captivating.
The woman wore round earrings and had a straight makeup look, her appearance was high grade typical of a wealthy beauty.
"Dead baldy, he's the master my dad mentioned? You're not fooling me, are you?" The woman looked curiously at Lin Mo, sizing him up and down, finding it hard to associate him with the so-called 'master.'
"Miss, he really is the master," Bald Xie said awkwardly and then turned to Lin Mo. "Master, the second master is out on business. This is the second master's daughter, Miss Chu Ruoyu of the Chu Family."
Bald Xie was about to invite Lin Mo into the Mercedes when Chu Ruoyu suddenly spoke up, "Master, would you like to ride in my car?"
Lin Mo glanced at her indifferently, opened the car door, and sat down in the passenger seat.
(The story continues tomorrow with brilliance, I'm struggling with whether to change it. If I decide to change it, then no more changes will be made after this point. Goodnight.)
