When Ye Yu arrived at the Mo family estate, he found a dozen or so immortals waiting outside.
Upon seeing Ye Yu, they immediately cast strange looks his way,
But not a single one spoke.
This puzzled Ye Yuâhe didnât understand what they meant.
But that didnât matter; the important thing was to find Xin Wanâenâs whereabouts first.
Ye Yu walked straight to the Mo family gate and noticed a nearly transparent barrier.
If it werenât for the occasional ripple of water-like light, it would almost be invisible.
He called out loudly from outside, âWu Wei Tower immortal Ye Yu, here to visit Mo familyâs Mo Jiuming!â
Soon, a young disciple in a dark robe opened the Mo family gate, resting against the barrier and looking at Ye Yu warily.
âDo you know our clan head?â
âOf course I do. You can go notify him.â
Ye Yu sounded very certain.
When Mo Jiuming left Wu Wei Tower before, he had repeatedly told Ye Yu to come find him if there was any news about the Mo family sword pearl, promising a generous reward.
Not much time had passed since then; Mo Jiuming surely wouldnât have forgotten.
He definitely still hoped Ye Yu could find news about the sword pearl.
But to be honest, the sword pearl had â đđšđŻđđ„đąđ đĄđ â already been found.
However, Ye Yu didnât intend to mention it.
It was now the immortal sword in the hands of his wife, Lin Miaoxue.
There was no way it would be handed over.
No use dreamingâonce something enters the Ye family, it never leaves.
That was the rule.
Still, even though Ye Yu spoke so confidently, the Mo family disciple showed a doubtful look.
He hesitated before turning to report inside.
On his way, he muttered, âWhere do so many idlers come from?â
Upon hearing this, Ye Yuâs expression immediately turned strange.
What was going on?
Just then, a loud laugh came from behind.
Ye Yu turned to see a tall immortal smiling happily among the dozen immortals.
âFellow immortal, didnât expect weâre on the same path.
Before, I used the exact same excuse as you, but it didnât work.
So I advise you not to waste your effort.
Mo Jiuming wonât come out.â
Another immortal nearby added, âAt least come up with a more creative excuse.
Otherwise, itâs really tough.â
Listening to these immortals, Ye Yu was very confused.
He then asked, âWhat do you mean by this?â
The tall immortal said quietly, âWhat else could it mean? Weâre all here hoping to beg for a position in the Mo family.
Why pretend to be clueless?â
Hearing this, Ye Yu immediately understood everything.
They really thought he was a fellow seeker.
Ye Yu didnât plan to explain.
He casually asked, âSo, are there many people like you?â
This question immediately opened the floodgates.
They eagerly told him about recent events.
After the Mo family turmoil ended, and Mo Jiuming rose to power,
Some of the waiting immortals left, but many remained.
These were the ones hoping to become Mo family retainers.
After all, so many Mo family immortals had died, and with Sanshi Hallâs evil immortals causing havoc, they had to strengthen defenses.
But surprisingly, their offers were rejected outright by the Mo family disciples.
That finally made those outside lose hope.
But the Heavenly Realm was never short on clever people.
These dozen or so immortals wanted to take a different routeâto meet Mo Jiuming and persuade him to accept them as retainers.
It wasnât that they lacked ambition;
It was about relying on a powerful clan.
With Mo familyâs resources, immortal stones and weapons were plenty.
If they performed well later, even immortal arts might not be impossible.
That was why they were so persistent.
Unfortunately, Mo Jiuming wasnât a fool; he naturally wouldnât meet strangers.
Over time, Mo family disciples came to treat all those seeking the headâs audience as frauds.
After hearing all this,
Ye Yu curiously asked, âIf you canât become retainers, why stay here?â
The immortals smiled bitterly.
âItâs helplessness. First, weâre all solo cultivators without fixed sects.
If we leave, thereâs nowhere to go.
Better to wait here, hoping for a miracle.
Second, there are too many evil immortals from Sanshi Hall in central Heavenly Realm lately, so itâs safer here.â
Safer?
Ye Yu hadnât expected Sanshi Hall to cause such panic.
But on his journey here, he hadnât seen a single one.
At this moment, the Mo family gate suddenly burst open.
A figure dashed in and arrived before everyone.
It was the long-unseen Mo Jiuming.
Behind him followed ten disciples in black robes, their sharp gazes scanning the gathered immortals.
Seeing their arrival,
The immortals who had been joking with Ye Yu instantly straightened.
Though they hadnât met Mo Jiuming in person,
Since the young immortalâs rise to head, his portrait stones had sold like hotcakes.
They all recognized him.
Their mood surged with excitement.
They had indeed successfully waited.
As an immortal stepped forward to speak,
Mo Jiuming pushed him aside and cupped his hands to Ye Yu.
âImmortal friend Ye Yu, long time no see.
You come when you wantâwhy notify anyone?
Didnât I give you a communication stone before?
You can contact me anytime!â
Ye Yu was slightly stunned.
Communication stone? He vaguely recalled having one.
But usually, Ye Yu kept communication stones from fairies; those from male immortals he took and discarded.
It was a habit from his time on Blue Star.
No exception here.
So he didnât remember where he had put Mo Jiumingâs communication stone.
Of course, he wouldnât say this truth.
âI have important matters to discuss that arenât convenient on the communication stone, so I came in person.â
Hearing this, Mo Jiumingâs expression turned serious.
He immediately invited Ye Yu inside the Mo family estate.
After the gate closed again,
The dozen immortals left outside seemed to wake from a dream.
From beginning to end, they hadnât even earned a proper glance.
This was truly disheartening.
They hadnât expected that Ye Yu really knew Mo Jiuming,
While they themselves were nothing but clowns.
Truly, comparing oneself to others is infuriating!
