Chapter 766: 766
Upon hearing what Mo Wen had to say, Shen Jing’s adoptive parents’ expressions suddenly changed drastically .
“Shen Jing is the daughter that we raised . She belongs to us, dead or alive . What gives you the right to take her away?” Shen Jing’s adoptive mother screamed .
What right did he have to take away the daughter that she had raised? She still hoped that this daughter would provide them with a wealthy life in their later years .
Furthermore, Shen Jing worked with Lin Qing and had many investments in her hands . They were well aware of that and had long coveted those assets . How could they let those assets slip away from them so easily?
“You are not qualified to be her parents . That’s it . From now on, Shen Jing has no relationship with either of you . You exhausted your remaining ties with her when you forced her to choose death,” Mo Wen said coldly . He could not sense any family love in the eyes of these two people . Their eyes were filled with greed and schemes .
“She is my daughter! You can’t take her away!” Shen Jing’s adoptive mother was adamant . Her potential to be a shrew was unleashed completely . This matter was related to her own benefits . Throwing all caution to the wind, she was stirring up quite a scene . She was only a step away from rolling on the ground while wailing .
“Is she your daughter?” Mo Wen coldly laughed . He plainly said, “I can also not take her away . I can ask her to continue recognizing both of you as parents . But you both must die . Do you dare to also use your death to make up for your wrongs? If you dare, I will ask Shen Jing to bury you both as your daughter . ”
“You… You want to murder us! It’s illegal to murder people . You murderer . You will be punished by the law and be shot . ” Shen Jing’s adoptive father was not calm either . Why was it that the more he spoke, the more threatened he felt? His back was covered in cold sweat .
“Illegal? Humph! I have ten thousand ‘illegal’ ways to murder you that can also guarantee that you will die without any trace . It will look exactly the same as a natural death . Do you believe me?” Mo Wen said as he looked at the two of them while smiling playfully .
“You demon, you murderer . You can’t do this . You will be punished…” Madam Shen was so scared that her entire body was tingling from top to bottom . She had seen the methods of these ancient martial art practitioners before . They could truly do such things . Just thinking that she may die unknowingly, she felt the sky falling down on her . Her face was deadly pale .
“Simply put, the choice is up to you . Before I change my mind, get the hell out of here . Otherwise, I cannot be certain that I will not kill you right now,” Mo Wen said impatiently .
The two of them were terrified . They did not dare to say another word, fumbling in their haste to get out of the office . They ran as though they would die at the hands of Mo Wen, this demon, if they moved a step slower .
“What’s going on?”
Right after Shen Jing’s adoptive parents left the office, Dongfang Yi walked in and stared at Mo Wen and the rest incredulously . The current situation seemed a little off . Where were the troublemakers?
Didn’t they say Fan Junsheng had come to the hospital and was stirring up trouble? Why were there only Mo Wen, Lin Qing and a few others in the office?
“The matter has been settled . You came too late . ” Lin Qing rolled her eyes at him .

“It has been settled?” Dongfang Yi was stunned . How long had it been? He merely made a call downstairs and the case had been settled?
“Most likely the Crimson Star Sect will not let this go so easily . You should stay alert . Don’t let your guard down . I have other matters of the Group that I need to attend to . I will leave first . ” Lin Qing left the office after saying this to Mo Wen .
“Mo Wen…” Dongfang Yi had something else to say .
But Mo Wen had no intention of paying him any heed . Mo Wen walked straight out of the hospital, called a cab and returned to the university .
Dongfang Yi had no choice but to find Han Jiangong and Hu Tianfeng to ask them about what had happened .
“What? Mo Wen punched Fan Junsheng and crippled the cultivation of a Crimson Star Sect elder? Terrible! This is terrible . Mo Wen and his bad temper . Why can’t he change a little?” Dongfang Yi was shocked after he found out what had happened . He knew that Mo Wen was not someone to be messed with . Yet, he had never expected that Mo Wen would have done such a thing .
“The Crimson Star Sect will definitely not let this go easily . Why are all of you so impulsive?” Right now, Dongfang Yi felt utterly helpless . He had persuaded them for so long, yet his effort was useless .
“If you knew what kind of person Fan Junsheng is, you wouldn’t be able to resist punching him either . A punch cannot be retracted . Why is it that the Crimson Star Sect can bully us, yet we are not allowed to retaliate? We, the Dafang Sect, are not pushovers . ” Hu Tianfeng coldly snorted . Even now, Hu Tianfeng was itching to slap Fan Junsheng to death when he thought of that brute . After he knew that Mo Wen had broken through to the Golden Elixir Realm, he had few scruples with the Crimson Star Sect .
When Mo Wen reached the university, the sun had already set . Night descended .
Qin Xiaoyou had already prepared a table full of dishes and was waiting for Mo Wen to come home and eat . Maybe it was because Mo Wen had come home that there were more dishes than usual . The table was covered in delicacies .
“What are you looking at? Is there something on my face?” Mo Wen was eating when he suddenly noticed that something was off . Why was Qin Xiaoyou poking around with her chopsticks? She had not eaten anything and was just watching him eat .
“Can’t I just watch you? You leave for a few months at a time . Normally I can’t see you even if I wanted to,” Qin Xiaoyou complained .
Mo Wen was somewhat embarrassed . He lowered his head and focused on eating, not daring to say anything else .
“Mo Wen . ”
“Huh?”

Qin Xiaoyou didn’t say anything .
“Yes?”
“Mo Wen…”
“Hmm . ”
Qin Xiaoyou once again fell silent .
“What do you want to say?” Mo Wen was somewhat speechless . He put down his chopsticks and looked at Qin Xiaoyou . What did she want, and why was she speaking so hesitantly?
“You see, Teacher Shen Jing is sleeping in your room . Tonight, you should sleep in my room . ” Qin Xiaoyou’s face instantly turned red . Her voice grew softer as she spoke . Her little hand pinched the chopsticks tightly, just short of snapping them .
“You’d better focus on practicing . What have you been thinking about?” Mo Wen coughed dryly . He understood Qin Xiaoyou’s intentions . This little girl most likely wanted to give him her most precious thing . However, she was in the growth stage of her practice, and it was not appropriate . Losing her virginity would be detrimental to her practice .
“I have not been imagining things . You have been imagining things . ” Qin Xiaoyou’s face turned even redder . She was close to burying her face in her own chest .
“Alright, alright . I’m the one imagining things okay?” Mo Wen was speechless .
“That being said, the winter holidays are about to start at the university . Are you going home?” Qin Xiaoyou said while blinking .
“Going home…” Mo Wen was slightly stunned . He lowered his gaze and fell silent all of a sudden .
“What’s the matter? Did I say something wrong?” Qin Xiaoyou asked somewhat nervously when she noticed something was off with Mo Wen .
“No, it’s just that I have not gone home in a long time . I suddenly had a sense of nostalgia . ”
Mo Wen shook his head . In reality, ever since his previous life’s memories had resurfaced, he had thought of going home, but a part of him did not dare to . Many times, he had forced himself to not think about going home, focusing all of his attention on practicing diligently .

With another set of memories, he suddenly did not dare to face his own mother . He knew that he had not changed and that he was still Mo Wen, the Mo Wen born in a village in the mountains . He merely had a dream, a dream of his previous life’s memories .
He was actually afraid that his mother would notice the changes in him, and that it would make his mother feel as though he was a stranger and cause an unnecessary barrier to form between their relationship as mother and son . It was because of this concern that he had forced himself to not think about going home .
“Then, go back . The university will be having a month off . Since you have not been home in a long time, your mother will certainly miss you . Let me follow you back, okay?”
The gaze Qin Xiaoyou gave Mo Wen was hopeful . Of course, she wanted Mo Wen to bring her back to meet his parents .
“Okay, I’ll bring you along when the holidays come . ” Mo Wen nodded his head . He knew that continuing to avoid it was not a solution . Also, he had not returned home for a year . He also wanted to see his mother who was at home .
That night, Qin Xiaoyou practiced in her room . After practicing for so long, she had already developed the habit of not sleeping . Practice was the best form of rest .
Mo Wen sat in his room, looking anxiously at Shen Jing on his bed . He had once again inspected Shen Jing’s body in detail . He still could not find any problems . If he could not find the cause, he could not find a solution . Right now, Shen Jing was like a perfectly normal person who had just seemingly fallen into a deep sleep . But this sort of deep sleep was considered a sleep that was isolated from the world . No one could wake her up .
“What exactly is up with you?”
Mo Wen knocked his head, very distressed . This was the first time he had encountered such a situation . He held Shen Jing’s fair hand while staring spellbound .
“There is nothing up with me . I just don’t want to see you . ” A faint voice sounded .
“If you don’t want to see me, then why are you talking to me?” Mo Wen said subconsciously .
“Then, I will continue my deep sleep . Don’t care about me forever…”
“Hey, wait! Wait a minute…”
Mo Wen suddenly realized what was going on and awakened fully . He looked at the pair of eyes that were like black gemstones that were exceptionally bright in the night . He felt ecstatic .
“I don’t want to care about you . ” After saying this, the eyes began to close .
“Wait… don’t be like this . ” Mo Wen was shocked . He immediately reached out to prop open those poignant eyes . He was afraid that they would close again .
“Let go!”
“I won’t let go . ”
“Let go!”
“I won’t let go . ”
“I won’t fall asleep, okay?”
“Haha . ” Only then did Mo Wen retract his hand .
“Ruffian . ” Shen Jing rolled her eyes at Mo Wen . How could there be such a man?
“Who asked you to trick me like this?” Mo Wen softly snorted . From the looks of Shen Jing’s current condition, it wasn’t that she did not have any perception at all . She most likely noticed he had returned long ago . This form of deep sleep was a deep sleep of choice, though he did not know how Shen Jing pulled it off .
“Who was tricking you? Did you know that I nearly died?” Shen Jing’s eyes started to turn red .
When her adoptive parents grounded her and forced her to marry that Fan Junsheng, she despaired so much and chose death . However, she had not expected that not only would she survive, but, by a strange turn of events, she discovered that she had the ability to go into a deep sleep that could trick everyone . When she did not want to wake up, no one could wake her up . The reason why she had chosen to continue her deep sleep was as a form of self-preservation . Only when Mo Wen returned did she choose to wake up .
