Chapter 11: Mo Ruyi's Worries
Walking on the noisy street again, Mo Ruyi's face was full of worry, "Mo Xiu, you shouldn't help Patriarch Qin refine pills just now."
"Why?" Mo Xiu asked without looking back.
Mo Ruyi hesitated for a while, and finally replied, "Your level of alchemy is too high. Li Zongbai, the most powerful alchemy master of the Kingdom of Yan, can only refine five pills. If you can make twelve pills, spread it, the alchemy world and even the entire cultivation world is bound to have a shock."
"So what?" Mo Xiu disapproved.
"A common man's only crime is to carry a jade! Let's not talk about other forces for the time being. In Sun Martial City alone, the major families will definitely be eyeing you soon, and even the pavilion master of the Revolving Pill Pavilion just now will definitely use all kinds of methods to make you tell him about your secrets." Mo Ruyi remarked.
Then she sighed, "I know you are very strong, but if the big families in Sun Martial City join forces to deal with you, you may not have a chance of winning, and the Mo Family will not be able to protect you."
Mo Xiu stopped and looked at Mo Ruyi, "What about you?"
"Me?" Mo Ruyi was stunned.
"What would you do if the major families in Sun Martial City join forces to deal with me?" Mo Xiu asked with interest.
"I will naturally stay by your side. As long as I'm here, I won't let them hurt you. But my strength is limited after all. I'm afraid I won't be able to stop them at all." Mo Ruyi's attitude was very firm, but she also had to face reality.
"I understand." Mo Xiu nodded lightly, as he understood Mo Ruyi's determination.
Mo Ruyi looked around, and suddenly lowered her voice and said, "Now that the matter is up, let's run away. Before they have done anything, escape from Sun Martial City and find a place to hide and change our names. In this way, we may be able to escape. ."
Mo Xiu's eyes flickered, and he quickly asked, "What about Mo Family? If they can't find me, the Mo Family will soon be wiped out by the big families in Sun Martial City."
"I can't manage that much."
Mo Ruyi shook her head slightly, "If Father is still alive, I still have nostalgia for the Mo Family, but now that Father is gone, the Second Uncle and the Third Uncle are busy fighting for power and profit. Those who once followed our father have betrayed us, and such a family, if it perishes, it perishes. Well, as long as I have you here."
After a pause, she added, "Moreover, even if there is no trouble this time, the Mo Family is still unlikely unable to escape. Once a large family has declined, the other major families in Sun Martial City will divide it and eat it up, but It's a matter of time. The new emperor of the Kingdom of Yan will not let our Mo Family go. An envoy will come to Sun Martial City to handle this matter in a few days."
Mo Xiu retracted his gaze, and his evaluation of Mo Ruyi in his heart was a bit higher.
Leaving aside other things, at least Mo Ruyi had a very thorough view of various things, and loyalty was not a problem. Such a person was exactly what he needed at the moment.
After thinking about it, he said leisurely, "Let's go, leave Sun Martial City first, and then talk."
"Are you agreeing?" Mo Ruyi was overjoyed.
Mo Xiu nodded his head slightly.
...
There were a total of six big families in Sun Martial City. Originally, the Mo Family was the only one, and the other big families almost couldn't breathe. Now that the Mo Family had undergone major changes, it had become the end of the six families.
The other major families were the Ning Family, the Zheng Family, the Guo Family, the Liu Family, and the Jiang Family. Among them, the Ning Family was the most powerful. After the Mo Family changed, the Ning Family successfully became the largest family in Sun Martial City.
Inside the Ning Family Mansion.
Ning Family Patriarch Ning Rujian, looked at his daughter Ning Fu with a weird expression, "You said someone can refine twelve Storm Pills at once?"
"Yes, father. Your daughter has seen it with my own eyes, this matter is absolutely true." Ning Fu said positively.
"Do you know the master of alchemy Li Zongbai? I once went to the capital to do errands, and once saw his alchemy process with my own eyes. Refining an ordinary pill can be said to be easy, but even as powerful as he is, he can only refine five pills in one furnace..."
Ning Rujian recalled, and said, "I had a conversation with him at the time. He told me that the most powerful alchemist can make nine pills in one furnace, but nine pills are the limit, there is no alchemist who can refine a pot of nine or more pills."
"But that person did refine twelve Storm Pills." Ning Fu was more willing to trust his eyes.
Ning Rujian thought for a moment, then guessed, "Are you sure you weren't deceived by their cooperation?"
"Impossible." Ning Fu shook her head. "That person didn't even use alchemy furnaces for alchemy. At that time, everyone could see clearly that there could be no fraud, and the thing happened in the Revolving Pill Pavilion. Pavilion Master Liu has no reason to cooperate with them to deceive everyone. If there is a problem, Pavilion Master Liu should've long exposed that person."
"Is it possible to refine twelve violent essence pills without using an alchemy furnace?" Ning Rujian frowned, "It makes no sense. Is it possible that the common sense of alchemy doesn't apply to him?"
With that, he asked, "Has the identity of that person been found?"
"Not yet, but your daughter has sent someone to follow and investigate." Ning Fu replied.
As soon as the voice fell, a man quickly entered, reporting: "Second Miss, Mo Ruyi and the mysterious alchemist have left Sun Martial City. In addition, the Liu Family and Jiang Family seem to be eyeing them, and they have already started to act secretly. The Zheng Family and the Guo Family stay silent."
"How about the Mo Family?" Ning Rujian asked suddenly.
"The situation within the Mo's Family is temporarily unknown, but on the surface, there is nothing unusual." The man replied.
Ning Fu quickly said, "Father, we can't wait any longer. Even if we haven't figured out the identity of that person, we must at least control that person first. Otherwise, once he falls into the hands of the Liu Family and the Jiang Family, we will miss the opportunity and I'm afraid there will be great regrets in the future."
Ning Rujian walked back and forth, looking a little hesitant.
Let's not talk about whether the twelve Storm Pills were true or false. If someone could refine twelve Storm Pills, then the identity of this person was probably not simple, maybe he was a disciple from a certain hidden sect.
If someone were to send someone to control that person at this time, it would probably offend the hidden sect behind that person.
But 'the hidden sect' was just a guess after all, what if the so-called background did not exist?
If, because of these and other concerns, that person fell into the hands of the Liu Family and the Jiang Family, and let one or two of them rise up and threaten their Ning Family's status, it would be very bad.
Another point was that the person had just made a pot of pill in Revolving Pill Pavilion, and he was about to leave Sun Martial City in a blink of an eye. How could there be such a coincidence?
It was not a coincidence, it meant that he wanted to escape from Sun Martial City, and if he was really a disciple from a certain hidden sect with a strong background, that person did not need to escape.
Thinking about it, he nodded, "What you said makes sense, first control him."
...
In Revolving Pill Pavilion.
After finally sending Qin Huaili and Qin Wuyang father and daughter away, Liu Xuan finally couldn't wait. After handing the pavilion to the remaining female employee, he put on a loose black robe and hurried away.
After a while, he left Sun Martial City and found the male employee of his pavilion about a mile away from Sun Martial City.
"Pavilion Master."
"How is it? You didn't lose them, right?"
"Well, just ahead, they are walking on foot. Because of that, it's impossible to lose them."
"That's good, you go back first, if things here go well, I will accept you as a disciple after going back."
"Thank you, Master!"
The male employee was delighted, and after saying goodbye to Liu Xuan, he turned and returned on the same road.
Liu Xuan continued to follow, but soon he discovered that he was not the only one who was staring at Mo Xiu. Although many people did not show up in the dark, as a 5th level Core Formation cultivator, he could easily perceive them.
"It seems a bit troublesome, but that's okay. Since there are more people watching him, it will be more difficult for him to escape." He sneered and murmured secretly.
...
About two kilometers away from Sun Martial City was a forest.
After Mo Xiu and Mo Ruyi entered the forest, they stopped.
"What's the matter? Has anyone chased us?" Mo Ruyi suddenly became alert.
"There have been people following us all the time, don't talk about chasing us." Mo Xiu shook his head slightly.
"We were followed in Sun Martial City?" Mo Ruyi's face changed.
"We were followed the moment we walked out of the Revolving Pill Pavilion." Mo Xiu corrected.
"Then why didn't you say it earlier?" Mo Ruyi was instantly anxious like an ant on a hot pot, "If I knew this, we should've gone faster just now."
"Don't worry, since I know that they are following, I must have a countermeasure." Mo Xiu soothed.
Mo Ruyi only calmed down a little bit, took a deep breath, and immediately said, "Did you bring them here on purpose?"
"Of course not, I never put them in my eyes." Mo Xiu's face was full of disdain.
"Ugh..." Mo Ruyi was slightly speechless for a while.
Mo Xiu looked around, suddenly raised his hand to take off Mo Ruyi's veil.
"Well" Mo Ruyi was caught off guard and quickly raised her hand to cover the scar on her face.
"Let down your hands, how can I treat you like this?" Mo Xiu said seriously.
"Treatment? Here?" Mo Ruyi couldn't help being a little surprised.
Mo Xiu nodded, "Didn't I tell you last night? I asked you to come out to help you restore your appearance."
"But..." Mo Ruyi still couldn't figure it out, "Why here? Didn't we leave Sun Martial City just to escape for our lives?"
"I said, I never put them in my eyes." Mo Xiu said again.
Mo Ruyi was stunned, "In other words, you didn't think about fleeing at the beginning. The reason you left Sun Martial City was because your original destination was here?"
"Yeah." Mo Xiu nodded gently.
"There's nothing in this place, right? How can you help me restore my face?" Mo Ruyi's eyes were full of suspicion.
Mo Xiu stayed expressionless, "Wait, you'll know in a while."
Mo Ruyi stared at Mo Xiu for a long time, and finally put her hand down, and the hideous scar on her face was timely exposed in Mo Xiu's sight.
