Chapter 735: It Isn't
Translator: Timothy_ Editor: GlobeGlotter
"Huh?" Hearing this, Mu Xiaoyun stood up abruptly with her eyes wide open.
Ji Yilan could feel Mu Xiaoyun wobble and quickly supported her, "Don't worry, Martial Sister Xiaoyun, let Sister Ziyi finish first."
Yun Ziyi was also excited. The reason why she had made friends with Mu Xiaoyun was to get to know more about Ye Mo. She might have had ulterior motives at the start, but later on she became real friends with her.
Yun Ziyi comforted, "Xiaoyun, stay calm. I'm not sure whether that person was your husband. I just heard someone call out to a 'Martial Brother Mo' at the door and subconsciously looked back. Then, I saw someone that looked very similar to your husband. I didn't see clearly, but-"
Mu Xiaoyun grabbed Yun Ziyi's hand in excitement, "Sister Ziyi, but what?"
Yun Ziyi calmed down and said, "But his face didn't seem scarred, so I'm not sure that he was your husband."
The reason why Yun Ziyi had still mentioned it was because she was sure that Ye Mo had the capability to go to Wu Wen Mountain. So maybe he'd found the Jia Lan Flower and recovered his face.
The only thing she wasn't too sure about was that the day the Taiyi Sect members were killed was only the day Ye Mo left Ice Lake. Even if Ye Mo could fly, there was no way he could get to Wu Wen Mountain that fast.
But Yun Ziyi had reached out to some eyewitnesses from Wu Wen City and had told them to describe the masked man, and their description reminded her a lot of Mo Ying.
Mu Xiaoyun shook in excitement and said subconsciously, "My husband can recover his looks. I want to go see for myself."
"What?" Yun Ziyi and Ji Yilan screamed at the same time. They couldn't believe it.
Mu Xiaoyun knew she had spilled some words in her excitement, but she didn't mind much. As long as she could see her husband, everything else didn't matter.
"Martial Sister Xiaoyun, can Brother Mo really recover his face?" Ji Yilan was shaking and grabbed Mu Xiaoyun's hand. She didn't doubt Mu Xiaoyun's words.
Yun Ziyi also looked at Mu Xiaoyun in excitement, as she didn't doubt Mu Xiaoyun either. If Ye Mo was able to find the Jia Lan Flower, he would really have such power.
She had given Ye Mo a map of Wu Wen Mountain and found out that after the recent incident, almost 80% of the high level herbs in the Wu Wen Mountains had been picked away. This quite possibly might have been done by Ye Mo. Yun Ziyi had the feeling that Ye Mo had the capability to go in early.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt like her guess was right. A pity that she had missed the chance to get close to Mo Ying on the boat. To her, it didn't matter what people Ye Mo had killed - she only cares about his abilities.
Mu Xiaoyun was so excited that she immediately wanted to go to the hidden sects tournament and look for Ye Mo, but Ji Yilan was holding her hand and asking her something, so she still had to reply.
"Yes, Martial Sister Yilan, my husband could do that," Mu Xiaoyun nodded.
"Right, your husband is a high level herbal doctor, I should've long since realized this!" Ji Yilan also said something she shouldn't in her excitement.
"What? Martial Sister Yilan, Xiaoyun's husband is a high level herbal doctor?" Yun Ziyi was completely shocked. High level herbal doctors were supremely important to the hidden sects.
If her association could have a connection to a high level herbal doctor, then- Yun Ziyi didn't even dare keep thinking about it.
No wonder that Mo Ying liked herbs and gathering herbs, so that was it! As long as Mo Ying came back and just helped the association a little, then-
In that moment, all three were very excited and couldn't control themselves.
"Xiaoyun, Yilan let's quickly go!" Yun Ziyi really wanted to see Ye Mo as soon as possible.
…
"Goddess Ziyi!"
"Goddess Yun!"
Countless people greeted them when they came to the hidden sects tournament. No one knew Mu Xiaoyun and Ji Yilan, but Yun Ziyi was famous.
The martial arts tournament was a huge place with all sorts of facilities.
Because it had just started, only a few people were practicing in the practice rings. Most people were sitting on the balconies having discussions. They all wanted to benefit from the experience of seniors. Every tournament, there would be some high level masters coming to expound on the martial dao.
Yun Ziyi caught most people's attention, and many people wanted to say hi to her to elevate their own status.
However, Yun Ziyi acted very strangely in front of these people. When the four came in together, Yun Ziyi and her maid were at the very back. In the middle was a woman wearing a veil and in the front most another goddess-like beauty.
Soon, everyone's attention was caught by that otherworldly beauty. It was as though she was about to ascend to heaven. It could be said that this woman was even prettier than Goddess Zi Hua.
But that woman was desperately looking around.
Mu Xiaoyun had started looking for Ye Mo as soon as she came in.
Suddenly, Mu Xiaoyun's face froze. Her face changed and even went pale for a moment. But then she frowned and seemed to have remembered something as her face returned to normal.
"Xiaoyun, what are you doing here?" a young man walked over in surprise.
Mu Xiaoyun looked at this man and said plainly, "So it's you, Mo Youshen."
Although they looked very similar, Mu Xiaoyun could tell straightaway that this person wasn't her husband Ye Mo.
The man seemed unable to believe that Mu Xiaoyun had dared call him by his name and frowned, "Xiaoyun, why are you not answering me about why you're here? And where is my mother?"
Mu Xiaoyun's face sunk. When she saw Mo Youshen, there was this coldness that rose from the bottom of her heart making her uneasy. When she was with Ye Mo, she didn't have that feeling.
Suddenly, Mu Xiaoyun felt a hint of gratitude towards this Mo Youshen. If he hadn't left, how could she have met Ye babe?
At this moment, Yun Ziyi walked over and whispered to Mu Xiaoyun, "He was the one I saw, but is he your husband? He looks similar yet doesn't at the same time."
Mu Xiaoyun answered plainly, "He isn't, my husband isn't here today. Sister Ziyi and Yilan, I'm going."
Chapter 736: You Don’t Have the Right
Translator: Timothy_ Editor: GlobeGlotter
Hearing this, Mo Youshen seemed to have understood something. He screeched, "Mu Xiaoyun, what did you just say!? You left your mother in law and ran away. Then, you cheat on me! You- you-"
Yun Ziyi and Ji Yilan looked at Mu Xiaoyun in shock after hearing this. Mo Youshen's words implied that Mu Xiaoyun was his wife!
But she was no longer the Mu Xiaoyun she had been a few years ago. She now had a husband who deeply loved her.
She looked coldly at Mo Youshen, "Your aunty saved me. I fed your mother for three years until she died. What did you do? Who do you think you are? My husband already told me. What do you have to do with me? What right do you have to say that to me?"
"You-" Mo Youshen's face was green with anger. That timid cat from the past had suddenly turned into this and it was unbearable for him. He couldn't keep calm anymore and lost his reason.
He could curse and beat Mu Xiaoyun whenever he wanted. He could even tell her to die, and Mu Xiaoyun was not allowed to resist. This was absurd! She not only had resisted, but she dared say that he couldn't do anything about it!
Seeing Mo Youshen shake of anger, Mu Xiaoyun said even more calmly, "I cheated on you? Who are you to me? What right do you have to say that? Only my husband can say it. You have no right!"
Mo Youshen suddenly started yelling, "Mu Xiaoyun, your father gave you to the Mo family, are you regretting it now? Who saved you from that big disaster? Mu Xiaoyun, do you have any shame left? You left your mother-in-law and ran away by yourself. And now you say I'm not your husband! You- you- Sl*t!"
For the first time in his life, Mo Youshen was truly bursting of anger.
Mu Xiaoyun's expression turned cold. She said plainly, "Mo Youshen, was I actually given to the Mo family? Did your family ever give us a marriage gift? Did I ever plan to marry you or did we have a wedding? Did I sleep with you? I don't think any of that happened!
Who is shameless here?! There's nothing between us. What right do you have to say that I'm yours? Yes, I am thankful to your aunty for saving me, but you didn't save me. Moreover, I struggled living in Huang Ping, yet I still fed your mother. Where were you? When I was abused and had nowhere to hide, where were you? There was no food in the house. I starved and had to borrow bowls of rice to feed your mother. When I was starving in the kitchen, where were you?"
You weren't even there. And even when you were, I was still the one providing for the family. Did you do anything for the family? I even had to take care of the haystack on the roof. Those few years, I didn't let your mother starve nor freeze - I let her curse and beat me until she passed away. When I had nowhere to go, I met my husband. Only then did I know what real happiness was. Only then did I know that a woman can also be protected. My husband told me I don't owe anything to your family anymore."
There were tears in the corners of her eyes. She didn't care about her past traumas, but when she thought about her husband, she got emotional. She spoke her heart, as she didn't know how to curse people.
"What? My mother died?" Mo Youshen was shook, as though he couldn't accept this fact.
Mu Xiaoyun looked at him coldly and felt he was so fake. If he had really cared about his mother, why had he disappeared for so many years?
Mo Youshen suddenly thought of something and pointed at Mu Xiaoyun hideously, "Mu Xiaoyun, you dared to find another man! You- you-"
Mu Xiaoyun looked at him coldly, "I have nothing to do with you, what does having a husband got to do with you? My husband explained to me that all you did was abandon your mother at home and stop caring about her. What is more, you left me, someone who is not related to your family, to take care of her. This is beyond shameless and immoral. How dare you have the guts to point fingers at me?"
Mo Youshen felt an irresistible anger rose from his heart. He was about to kill Mu Xiaoyun in a punch when someone behind him said, "That goddess-like beauty is Mu Xiaoyun? I heard she was the number one genius who got recruited by Ice Lake. She's a goddess in the mortal realm indeed!"
"Pfff- What do her looks got to do with her power?"
"I heard that even some of the special grade sects wanted her."
…
Hearing this, Mo Youshen suddenly calmed down. He had heard about that so-called Mu Xiaoyun, but he had never thought it would be her.
When Mo Youshen calmed down and studied Mu Xiaoyun carefully, he found that she was extremely beautiful. Even Goddess Zi Hua's beauty was a little inferior.
Mo Youshen's heart began to burn with excitement. Due to his condition, he had never thought of doing anything with Mu Xiaoyun. However, now he knew that if he reached great heaven, he could become a normal man.
Mo Youshen was sure that Mu Xiaoyun didn't know he was impotent. If he could get married with Mu Xiaoyun, perhaps Taiyi Sect would allow him to become a core disciple.
To Mo Youshen, cultivation was everything. Nothing else mattered.
Thinking about this, he took a step forward. But before he could speak, Yun Ziyi stood in front of him.
She looked plainly at him and said, "Mr Mo, I heard the conversation you just had with her. In which case, she has nothing to do with you. She is married now and she has a very loving husband, so you have no right to disturb her."
What Yun Ziyi didn't expect was that Mo Youshen sighed and said, "Sorry, Xiaoyun, it was my bad before indeed. I wanted to explore the world and I neglected your feelings. I also didn't treat my mother right. I apologise to you now." Then, he bowed.
Mu Xiaoyun frowned, she couldn't understand. The Mo Youshen she knew would've never done this.
Seeing Mu Xiaoyun take a few steps back. Mo Youshen said solemnly, "Xiaoyun, you also know why our grandparents agreed to have us married. It's because of that fortune teller. If it hadn't been for that big disaster, perhaps we would have gotten engaged. Still, I don't think it's too late."
Mu Xiaoyun's expression turned cold.
"You're the genius disciple from Ice Lake and I'm one of Taiyi's inner sect members. We have a common goal now."
However, Mu Xiaoyun's face changed drastically. Taiyi Sect. Her husband had told her that it was his biggest enemy. His number one priority there was to take revenge on Taiyi.
"XIaoyun, I'm willing to make up for everything I did before. Think about it! If one day, we both became Taiyi Sect members-"
However, Ji Yilan was furious. She came up and sneered, "Mo Youshen, what do you mean!? Xiaoyun is Ice Lake's disciple now. Watch your words!"
Chapter 737: Elder Jin’s Schemes

Mo Youshen had calmed down completely, and he didn't even seem unhappy about Ji Yilan's words. He simply said, "Martial Sister, I never denied Xiaoyun being an Ice Lake disciple."
He paused for a moment before continuing, "She's my fiancée, and due to my fault, she's angry at the moment. But I believe that if we can recover our relationship, Ice Lake could become a closely related sect to Taiyi."
Mu Xiaoyun sneered, "Mo Youshen, I never had anything to do with you in the past, don't in the present and won't in the future. The only one I love is my husband. If you dare to say such words in front of me again, don't blame me for being merciless."
"Haha! So prodigy Mo and the genius of Ice Lake has this type of connection!" an old voice suddenly sounded.
A fat old man appeared in front of them. He didn't have much hair except for on his two temples on both sides where it bursted out.
"Elder Jin." As Mo Youshen saw this old man, she bowed respectfully.
The old man smiled and nodded, "Great, you're great indeed!"
Then he looked at Mu Xiaoyun and nodded, "How great, how truly great, you're indeed a one in ten thousand talent!"
Yun Ziyi bowed, "Yun Ziyi greets Taiyi Sect's Elder Jin…."
The fat man seemed to have just seen Yun Ziyi and said with embarrassment, "Oh, if it isn't Goddess Zi Hua, hello, hello, forgive my old eyes."
Yun Ziyi smiled plainly. She knew that this old guy had seen her as soon as he came and just wanted her to greet him first.
Then, the old man turned to Mu Xiaoyun and said happily, "So you're Mu Xiaoyun, the genius Ice Lake disciple?"
Mu Xiaoyun didn't answer anything knowing that the man was from Taiyi Sect.
"Xiaoyun, this is our great heaven elder, you must not be disrespectful," Mo Youshen said.
Mu Xiaoyun sneered, "Mo Youshen, watch your words, you're you, I am me. There's nothing between us. I'm from Ice Lake, and you're not someone who can call me 'Xiaoyun', watch your words."
"Haha, this is fine, I like this kind of character. Prodigy Mo, I didn't think you had a connection with the genius of Ice Lake, how great!"
Then, he said to Ji Yilan, "You must be the future sect leader of Ice Lake, Sect Leader Ji. I didn't think Mu Xiaoyun was Taiyi's future daughter-in-law. Great, Prodigy Mo will soon become our core disciple. Our core disciple and Ice Lake's genius form a perfect match. When you go back, please tell Elder Feng that Taiyi will come to propose soon. Of course, there will be plenty of gifts!"
Ji Yilan heard this, and her face changed drastically immediately. This fat man was too shameless. He was using the situation as an opportunity to take Mu Xiaoyun away and make sure Ice Lake stayed down forever. At this moment, Ji Yilan regretted taking Mu Xiaoyun out.
Mo Youshen, meanwhile, rejoiced. He didn't think his plan would work so soon.
Mu Xiaoyun sneered. She didn't want to talk to her enemies and just said to Ji Yilan, "Martial Sister Yilan, let's leave." Then, she turned and left.
…
Ye Mo felt his head buzzing with pain - what had happened? He got up in a hurry and as he looked at the three Jia Lan Flowers in his hand, he remembered what had happened.
He had been sucked away by a strong force which might have been the power of space? Ye Mo didn't dare believe it.
The power of space - if it really was the power of space, how could he still be fine? Under the pull of such power, even nascent soul stage cultivators wouldn't be able to survive.
Thinking about this, Ye Mo's face turned very bad. He was sure that the poison mist was there to protect the garden. As for the suction force, that was a teleportation formation. It was a one-directional teleportation, which meant that the person who set it up was using it only to kill people.
The person who set that up was just too bleak!
Ye Mo wanted to curse. No wonder this man had died early, but even in his death, he wouldn't let others rest easy.
'Wait,' Ye Mo thought, 'I should be dead. How am I still alive?'
Ye Mo got up and immediately looked around. He found he was in a dull, grey dimension.
'Where is this? Why does it seem familiar?' Ye Mo frowned but then immediately remembered what this place was.
His spirit sense had entered this place before - it was that golden dot in his dantian. This place was indeed a world.
How did he get in there?
Ye Mo calmed down and started pondering over the matter.
The reason why he'd entered this world was because as the owner of the golden dot, when he was about to die, the dot haf protected him and sent him in there. That's why he was saved.
Ye Mo rejoiced that he had gotten the three golden papers or he wouldn't even know how he died. This world must be conscious in some sense.
Although he never owned a pocket world, Ye Mo knew that as long as one was the master of a pocket world, one could go in and out at will.
But Ye Mo couldn't. Even when he yelled out, "Exit, go out!" he remained where he was.
An hour later, after Ye Mo had tried all he could without being able to get out, cold sweat ran down his back as he panicked. This was bullsh*t! Although the world had saved him, he couldn't be locked up in there forever, could he?
Perhaps the world had a spirit which had forgotten to bring him out. Ye Mo yelled, "Is there anyone there? Who got me in here? Get me out!"
But it was still nothing but silence which surrounded him.
Ye Mo calmed down. He knew that it was pointless to keep yelling. He stored the three flowers in his ring and then started searching for an exit from the dull, grey world.
Ye Mo went around and found that the world wasn't that big. It was at most a few hundred square meters. Other than the visible space area, everywhere else was grey, and he couldn't go there.
In one corner, Ye Mo saw a room and nothing else.
Ye Mo could only walk into this one room. It was very small, but it had some things inside.
There was a stone tablet in the middle of the room with a jade slip.
Ye Mo scanned his spirit sense over it. It contained the Primordial Fortune Chant cultivation method. Ye Mo knew this cultivation method. He had gotten a small part of it when his spirit sense first reached the world, but now it seemed the entire thing was there. Ye Mo didn't look at more of it, because there was too much information on it for him to handle.
But the introduction still allowed Ye Mo to understand some things.
