Chapter 146
"Then, what do you want?" Wang Xiaofei raised her eyebrows . She glared at Mo Wen . In her heart, she disdainfully thought, "Did she need to give herself to him?"
A grown man and so stingy .
"I am thirsty . I'll take this milk tea as tribute," Mo Wen reached out his hand and snatched the milk tea in Wang Xiaofei's hand, then unapologetically took a sip .
Wang Xiaofei was holding her milk tea and was just about to drink it when it suddenly vanished . She pointed angrily at Mo Wen saying, "You . . . shameless, snatching people's things . "
"Hey, you are the one in the wrong . What's wrong with me drinking a cup of milk tea?" Mo Wen said while raising his eyebrows .
"You…" Wang Xiaofei pointed at Mo Wen, speechless . How could one be so shameless? Being so bold and in the right after snatching other's things .
"It's okay, Xiaofei . Later, I will buy you a milk tea," Qin Xiaoyou said while smiling .
"Humph," Wang Xiaofei turned her head aside begrudgingly . Now, Xiaoyou was all about that bastard . As expected, one would forget all about friends when she has a man . Forgetting loyalty when in love . Bad Xiaoyou!
Wang Xiaofei's jealousy heightened . Mo Wen looked displeasing to the eyes from all angles . Before this, she still felt that he was quite a responsible, masculine man . Now she had changed her opinion about him completely . He was but a petty man .
"Fine, I'll go buy one for you now, okay?" Qin Xiaoyou helplessly looked at the two of them at loggerheads which each other . She then stood up and headed over to the milk tea stand nearby .

Wang Xiaofei angrily glared at Mo Wen, making a face to further stress her anger . However, Mo Wen continued to eat his breakfast calmly . He had no intention of entertaining her antics and continued casually taking his own sweet time .
Wang Xiaofei kept on sitting there pent-up . After a while, she realised that getting angry at bastards like Mo Wen was like casting pearls at swine . It was just inflicting trouble upon herself .
"Don't be angry anymore . Mo Wen didn't do it on purpose . Faster finish your breakfast . Or else we will be late," Qin Xiaoyou said and returned a milk tea to Wang Xiaofei helplessly .
Wang Xiaofei rolled her eyes at Qin Xiaoyou . If this was not on purpose, what was on purpose? She was not being fair at all . Everything Mo Wen did was right .
In the end, Wang Xiaofei could only vent out her frustration on the breakfast before her . She squeezed the steamed bun forcefully, as though she had grudges against it . After eating breakfast, the three of them walked out of the cafeteria and got ready to head over to the classroom .
Initially Mo Wen didn't want to go to class, but Qin Xiaoyou hoped he would go . After hesitating for a moment, since he had nothing else to do, he decided to follow her . However, while they were on the way to the faculty building, he met someone who disrupted his plan .
"Xiaoyou, I still have something to do . Both of you go to the classroom first," Mo Wen gave Qin Xiaoyou an apologetic glance, then quickly turned around and chased after the person .
In the distance, a figure was walking towards the school gate . The figure was lonely, with unsurpassed beauty which couldn't be concealed . Along the way, she had attracted attention of many, yet no one dared to go near her . If that person wasn't Mo Qingge, who else could it be? After not seeing her for a few days, she still looked the same . However, Mo Wen knew that was not the case .
Her Massacre's Host was not far from having an episode . At most in a week's time, something was bound to happen . Mo Wen had already planned to look for her today, but he never imagined he would bump into her like this .
"Mo Qingge!" Mo Wen curled his lips, calling her from behind .
The silhouette in a distance paused slightly, looking back at Mo Wen . She frowned slightly, not knowing why this fellow was calling her for . After they met last time, Mo Wen had completely disappeared without a trace . She had thought he was just all talk, long forgetting her problems at the back of his mind . Of course, she wasn't his sister, so him not caring about her was natural .

"It's you again," Mo Qingge as usual cherished her words like gold, acting as indifferent as ever . She was like a white cloud in the sky, far removed from the earth .
"You didn't wish to see me?" Mo Wen laughed .
Mo Qingge smiled plainly, not saying a word . She shifted her gaze elsewhere, her refusal obvious . She did not want to come into contact with other people, but she couldn't prevent people from contacting her . Hence, silence was her best way of refusing people .
"Are you preparing to leave school and hide away in a place with no one around, enduring the Massacre's Host outbreak period all by yourself?" Mo Wen smiled, ignoring Mo Qingge's attitude . He had a deep understanding towards people with the Massacre's Host . In order to keep their soul absolutely clear and suppress the Massacre's Host from having an outbreak, they had to avoid contact with any strangers . This was to reduce the stray thoughts they could have .
Mo Qingge nodded slightly . The Massacre's Host outbreak period was approaching . If she still stayed in school, once she lost control, it would most likely stir up a disaster .
"Let me give you something," Mo Wen took the Soul Nurturing Jade carved into a Buddha statue from his pocket and threw it at Mo Qingge . With the Soul Nurturing Jade, Mo Qingge could safely get through this outbreak period . The effects of the Soul Nurturing Jade were the strongest the first time it was used to suppress the Massacre's Host . The more it was used, the less of an effect it would have .
The Massacre's Host was bizarre, It could adapt to different things . If an object could suppress it, then the effects of that object would cause the Massacre's Host to further adapt . As time went on, the object's suppression effect would gradually weaken, until it was useless at suppressing the Massacre's Host . It was just like the human body's immune system: a relationship between pathogens and antibodies . Antibodies would adapt themselves to different pathogens in order to resist the invasion of foreign pathogens .
The Massacre's Host was also like that, seemingly possessing a form of intellect . It wasn't a simple thing to deal with . So when dealing with the Massacre's Host, one had to constantly find new ways of suppressing it, otherwise one would be completely lost in the Massacre's Host .
Mo Qingge extended her fair, slender hand, catching the Soul Nurturing Jade that Mo Wen had thrown at her without batting an eyelid .
"Soul Nurturing Jade!" Mo Qingge's palm trembled slightly . Her eyes finally showed a ripple of emotion . She lifted her head and looked amazed at Mo Wen . For the first time, her expressionless face wore an amazed look .

"You recognize it?" Mo Wen's eyes flashed past a glint of surprise . Mo Qingge's knowledge wasn't simple . She managed to recognize the Soul Nurturing Jade at a glance .
This had been in the Gu Clan Fort for four to five hundred years without anyone recognizing it . From here one could see how many people could actually recognize the Soul Nurturing Jade . Maybe many have heard of the Soul Nurturing Jade, but identifying it was no easy feat .
"Are you giving it to me?" Mo Qingge pursed her lips . Her voice finally carried a tad of emotion .
The Soul Nurturing Jade . She tried finding it for four to five years, but up till now she had been unsuccessful . Never did she imagine that one day someone would personally pass the Soul Nurturing Jade into her hands . Such a precious object was so easily given to her .
"For now I'm giving it to you . You can return me in the future," Mo Wen laughed, saying . The Soul Nurturing Jade contained the essence of the lifetime martial arts teachings of the Ming Cult's 34th cult leader . To him, those things were far more valuable than the Soul Nurturing Jade itself . He had barely touched the tip of the iceberg of the profound meanings of the martial arts teachings contained within . Just a small part was enough for him to contemplate for a long time .
Once he had finally digested all the things that he had managed to comprehend, he would find Mo Qingge to get back the jade Buddha to continue enlightening himself . When he had completely digested all of the profound martial arts teachings in the Soul Nurturing Jade, then giving Mo Qingge the Soul Nurturing Jade was no problem .
"Thank you," Mo Qingge rolled her eyes at Mo Wen . To ask for something back after he had given away, how could that be called giving? She nodded her head at Mo Wen, then turned and walked out the school gate .
Mo Wen looked at Mo Qingge's silhouette and said, "I can protect you . " If he could, he hoped to be at her side, personally ensuring that she completely got through the outbreak period for the Massacre's Host before he could truly be at ease .
"No need," an answer floated by, and along with the master, disappeared from Mo Wen's sight .
Mo Wen sighed softly . He knew that getting Mo Qingge's acknowledgement was not going to be an easy thing to do . The Massacre's Host outbreak period was when Mo Qingge was in the most danger, most vulnerable state . When that happened she wouldn't want people she didn't trust to approach her .
From a distance, Qin Xiaoyou and Wang Xiaofei kept standing on the spot, constantly looking in Mo Wen's direction .
"That Mo Wen is just too much of a bastard . How can he be like this?" Wang Xiaofei was so mad till she couldn't stop stomping her feet . That bastard had actually left Qin Xiaoyou to go flirt with Mo Qingge . It was outrageous, he was so inconsiderate to Qin Xiaoyou .
"Xiaofei, he just has some things to discuss with Mo Qingge . Why do you like to imagine things so much?" Qin Xiaoyou pulled on to Wang Xiaofei who was prepared to rush up to give Mo Wen a piece of her mind, pursing her lips as she said .
"Me . . . imagining things?" Wang Xiaofei stared at her in disbelief . She had lost completely to Qin Xiaoyou . Whose boyfriend was Mo Wen now? He was not her boyfriend, why would she be imagining things?
She felt that Qin Xiaoyou was truly obsessed . Who knew what love potion Mo Wen had spiked her with .
"Xiaoyou, you can't keep letting him off like that . Otherwise, he will not know restraint," Wang Xiaofei said to Qin Xiaoyou in a serious tone, hoping to change Qin Xiaoyou's mentality around .
"Let me tell you, that Mo Wen, on the surface he looks wooden and makes you feel very safe . In reality though, he is a flirtatious radish . I heard that last time he had lunch alone with Miss Shen Jing, that's why Su Boyu found fault with him . Now, he has even found Mo Qingge…," Wang Xiaofei said angrily . She had heard long ago from other people that Mo Wen and Miss Shen Jing were quite close . Although one was a teacher and the other a student, Miss Shen Jing was still very young . It was hard for nothing to happen .
Xiaoyou was now surrounded by love rivals . Strong competitors lay in ambush . However, the person herself had not taken it to heart yet .
"How is he a flirtatious radish? Could it be that he hit on you? Look at you all anxious . If I wasn't holding on to you, you would have found him to pick a fight," Qin Xiaoyou rolled her eyes at Wang Xiaofei . Could she go over now? Would she go over just to be jealous? Go over to fight? Then wouldn't she be a shrewd woman in Mo Wen's eyes? Who liked an unreasonable girl?
"You…" Wang Xiaofei pointed at Qin Xiaoyou, her words failed her . At this point, she was still defending Mo Wen . She even helped him chastise her . It was inconceivable .
"Alright, it's my fault . Calm down," Qin Xiaoyou held onto Wang Xiaofei's hand . She gently patted her on the back as she consoled her . Her gaze, however, never left Mo Wen's side .
