"His resources have nothing to do with the Tang Dynasty Empire; he has collected them one by one himself. You, being so high up, will never know how he managed to collect them. I don't want to talk about this!" The elder miss shook her head. She and Solitary Star knew of the hard work behind Xioyang’s success in nurturing Solitary Star, which made them heartbroken.
However, Xiaoyao didn’t mind much; he treated these experiences as part of his cultivation process to excel in every aspect.
Everything has its benefits if you know how to make use of it!
This was what Xiaoyao believed. He would utilize all resources—adversity was merely a test to hone his abilities.
"I don’t care about this; even if you can't defeat her, with our help in a siege, there’s no way you’ll be unable to take her down!" The head of the Mo Clan wouldn’t concern himself with how hard Xiaoyao worked. What mattered to him was his own self-interests and clan.
His proposal might work; Solitary Star may have been stronger than the elder miss, but if the elder miss teamed up with the Mo Clan people, she would be at a disadvantage.
The question was: Would the elder miss agree
"Grandfather, I’ve said that she’s my seventh sister. I won’t act against her," the elder miss said.
"Are you just going to watch her kill me" the head of the Mo Clan challenged.
"No, I will stop her from killing you—not only because you’re my grandfather but also because I don’t want my seventh sister to bear such a grave sin," the elder miss shook her head and said.
"Then help me take her down!"
"I’ve already said no. How many times do I need to repeat it Besides, what I meant was that I would stop her from killing you but not interfere with anything else!" the elder miss replied.
What did she mean by that The head of the Mo Clan was puzzled; wasn’t he saying that if the other party crippled him, he wouldn't intervene
"What do you mean Even if my seventh sister cripples you, I won’t stop her! I’m truly disappointed in you. Despite your actions, you still haven’t changed for the better. If you weren’t my grandfather, I would have cleaved you into two halves long ago!!" The elder miss said bluntly.
“…”
The entire place fell silent; everyone knew the elder miss was unconventional but hadn't expected her to be so straightforward about not being filial and saying such words.
It made sense, though. The elder miss had been caught in a difficult situation from the start, yet Solitary Star showed restraint while the head of the Mo Clan persistently pushed her into confronting Solitary Star; anyone would get angry, let alone someone with a short temper like hers.
If she was provoked to anger, she might even scold her own father and wouldn’t hesitate against her grandfather. She had endured for quite long already.
Back when Xiaoyao was besieged, she wanted to intervene but thankfully, he was unharmed at the time!
"Moyu, step aside; I’ll be careful with my attack and won’t kill him, just cripple him!" Solitary Star said then.
“Forget it. This might actually solve things!” The elder miss stepped back. Since Solitary Star only planned to cripple the head of the Mo Clan and not kill him, this seemed like the best solution possible for her.
"No, Moyu! Come back here!" The head of the Mo Clan seemed scared; without the protection of the elder miss, he wanted someone to come defend him but what use would that be
It was useless. In front of an emperor rank martial artist, sending anyone over would only result in their death. Moreover, many people had already fled at this point due to Solitary Star’s terrifying display earlier.
Solitary Star walked straight ahead, and the destruction he caused along the way was a deterrent in itself. Originally, with the elder miss around, they could have waited for developments, but now that she clearly wasn't going to intervene, everything would tilt in Solitary Star’s favor; no one could stop him.
Currently, morale within the Mo Clan was low due to their recent setbacks after Xiaoyao's incident. Some of their top fighters had already left, and this heavy blow might make them want to leave the clan.
"Is my family going to be destroyed because of me" The head of the Mo Clan looked at Solitary Star and felt despair once more.
“That’s fate. Since you believe in it, accept it!!” Solitary Star said indifferently.
Indeed, that was fate; he couldn’t change it. If given another chance: "I shouldn't have kept you or picked up Xiaoyao! Otherwise, this wouldn’t be happening!!!"
That’s right, if not for Xiaoyao and Solitary Star, the outcome would definitely be different!
"I’ve changed my mind. I want to kill you!" Solitary Star's expression suddenly turned cold.
“…” The elder miss fell silent; she knew why Solitary Star was acting this way—it was because her grandfather hadn’t learned his lesson and was still provoking her seventh sister at this point.
Saying Seventh Miss is fine, but you shouldn't mention anything about Xiaoyao. He's a taboo in Seventh Miss' heart; nobody can touch him!!
"Sigh, if it weren't for Xiaoyao, there wouldn’t be this situation today. But without Xiaoyao, I wouldn’t have achieved what I’ve achieved either. The reason why I’m where I am now is also because of Xiaoyao. This point, I never told you!" Miss Senior sighed sadly.
"Impossible, you’re a favored daughter of heaven; everything about you was arranged by fate. How could it have anything to do with that petty servant, Xiaoyao." The head of the Mo Family shook his head; he wouldn’t believe this matter.
"Why did South Palace Su Xin and I suddenly go to the barracks Why were we able to survive on such a fierce battlefield This isn't because of luck; it’s because there was... forget it, never mind. You won't believe me anyway. What you’ve lost is far more than what you can imagine!!" Miss Senior shook her head and didn’t want to say anything else, thinking that this had no meaning.
Then, she turned around, addressing Lone Star: "Seventh Miss, don’t kill him. Even if he’s wronged you so much, he is still your grandfather. For the only kindness he showed you, let him live!!"
"I’ve spared him many times already; this time, no forgiveness!" Lone Star shook his head and said softly, still sounding cold enough to make one shiver.
"I know I can’t persuade you. I won't stop you either," Miss Senior waved her hand and said, suddenly smiling in a way that was hard for others to understand.
This smile seemed to indicate she had relaxed; it was easy enough to understand but why would she relax at a time like this She shouldn’t be letting go of someone so close as her grandfather.
"Moyu, are you going to watch your grandfather die"
The one who said this wasn't the head of the Mo Family, but Moyu’s father, rushing over. Although he didn’t support some of the head's actions, he couldn’t just stand by and see his father killed.
"Father, don't worry; I can't stop it, but someone else can!" Miss Senior smiled and said.
What did she mean Apart from Miss Senior here, who could possibly stop Lone Star
No one seemed capable of that. Unless there was a person with strength surpassing Lone Star’s willing to stand up for the Mo Family. But would such a person exist
"No one can stop me!" Lone Star said coldly.
"We can," came a voice, and Lone Star recognized it as South Palace Su Xin's.
Lone Star frowned, turning around to ask without even looking back: "Miss South Palace, are you going to get involved in this matter"
If South Palace Su Xin were also getting involved, the situation would become complicated because Lone Star could beat either Miss Senior or South Palace Su Xin individually but not both at once. They had trained together more than once already.
But Lone Star didn't understand why South Palace Su Xin was involved. Soon enough, she found out that what Su Xin said wasn’t what she thought it would be.
"Hey, you speak up for a change! Still eating!!" The voice of South Palace Su Xin sounded somewhat powerless as if urging someone to speak up while the person seemed relaxed and still munching on something without any tension at all.
"Erh, boss, it's not worth killing over," came another voice which was muffled like there were things in his mouth.
Even through this unclear voice, Lone Star recognized who it belonged to. How could she not recognize it She had heard that voice the most since childhood; for years, that was the only sound she could hear clearly.
"Xiaoyao, what are you doing here!!"
Lone Star suddenly vanished from everyone's sight and appeared before a young man with a string of spring rolls. The youth wasn’t anyone else but Xiaoyao!!
“Heehee, Seventh Miss, this boy is usually unpredictable; it’s not strange to see him here!” Miss Senior also appeared before Xiaoyao and snatched the string of spring rolls from his hand, taking a bite.
"South Palace Su Xin, how did you meet him" Miss Senior asked another question.
“I heard your Mo Family was going to be wiped out so I came over for the show! Didn’t expect to see that little servant along the way. He’s haggling with someone on the roadside and getting the shopkeeper furious.” South Palace Su Xin said smilingly, recalling Xiaoyao's earlier situation which had been amusing.
"This has nothing to do with me; he overpriced it, treating me as a gullible customer. So I bargained," Xiaoyao waved his hand and said.
“…”
"How did you get here again" Lone Star asked puzzledly since she hadn’t received any update from the messenger hawk yet this time.
"For a matter. This doesn't need to be discussed here, boss. How did you come here Who told you about it" Xiaoyao was also confused.
This question left not only Xiaoyao but Miss Senior and others equally puzzled as they all stared at Lone Star.
Lone Star simply explained the matter; Miss Senior, hearing the answer, didn’t know whether to be angry or amused.
