Mortals: Take Mo Juren at the start

Chapter 978 Cutting off the Past

When he saw Wen Qing again, Mo Juren's eyes suddenly flashed with surprise. Although she still looked like a girl, her style had changed qualitatively and became mature and steady.

The overall temperament is getting closer to the original one. The elegant, cool and fairy-like heroine of the Star Palace is back again.

Mo Juren naturally had to step forward to congratulate him. After all, only now had the other party been truly reborn.

"In the final analysis, this matter is all thanks to you, otherwise the two of us would not even dare to think about such an opportunity." Wen Qing smiled slightly, his words full of gratitude that could not be concealed.

"This is also my job as a son-in-law. There is no need to be so polite, mother-in-law." Mo Juren did not have the slightest intention of taking credit for himself. Instead, he was extremely humble.

Such an attitude naturally made Wen Qing more satisfied, and he smiled and motioned for the two to sit down.

"You two are here at this time, there must be something going on, right?"

"If nothing is wrong, can't we come over to see you?" Ling Yuling's eyes flickered, with a hint of coquettishness in her words.

  "If it was possible before, but since you got a husband, your heart has also run away. I dare not expect too much." Wen Qing laughed. As expected, Ling Yuling blushed when she heard such a teasing remark.

"When your mind wanders, your mother will say nonsense..."

"Okay, tell me, what are you here for?" After the greetings, Wen Qing asked again.

"It's about the Six Paths..." Mo Juren didn't keep the suspense and directly took out the golden jade box. He also recounted in detail the whole process of what happened in the outer sea before.

"Left it for me?" Looking at the golden jade box in the other person's hand, the smile on Wen Qing's face quickly disappeared, and he even revealed an undisguised sarcasm.

In fact, he had already heard about what had happened in the open sea recently when he returned to Tianxing City, so he was not surprised to hear it again from Mo Juren.

But she didn't expect that guy left something for her before he died!

Knowing that he was about to die, he suddenly came to his senses and felt guilty?

She had never thought of it this way, and based on her understanding of the six realms, she didn't think such a possibility would occur.

  Thinking of all the things he had done in the past, even if he really had a change of heart, what would it matter? Could he still expect me to forgive him?

"Just find a remote place to throw the things away. I'm too lazy to look at them." Putting his thoughts away, Wen Qing snorted coldly. Hearing this, Mo Juren was stunned.

I was worried that Liudao would play tricks, so I followed him along. But what happened was that he didn't even look at it and just let it go.

One can imagine how deep the resentment between this pair of siblings is, and it cannot be resolved even in two lifetimes.

"Are you really not going to take a look at this thing?" Mo Juren asked again, but the answer he got was no different from before. Wen Qing was obviously not interested.

In this case, he couldn't continue asking, but it was not appropriate to take the box away, so he turned to look at Ling Yuling, who immediately understood and smiled:

"I am very interested. Why don't you just open it, my husband?"

"This... is fine..." Mo Juren noticed that although Wen Qing looked cold, he did not say anything to stop him, so he felt relieved. Then the magic power in his palm surged, and he easily broke the seal on the surface of the jade box.

As the lid of the box slowly opened, the contents inside came into view. The largest number of items were ancient jade slips of various colors. In addition to these, there were also several magical instruments that looked like children's toys.

He had checked carefully several times and everything was normal. There was no conspiracy as expected. It could be seen that Liudao was probably a real person who was about to die, and his words were kind.

Although Wen Qing said that he didn't care, when his eyes inadvertently fell on the children's toys, he was suddenly stunned.

As if some memories were brought back to him, his expression became uncertain and I didn't know what he was thinking.

Seeing this scene, Mo Juren instantly had some guesses in his mind. When he looked at Ling Yuling, the latter's eyes flickered, and she obviously thought of a similar situation.

The two did not say much, but began to check the jade slips in the box. There were dozens of them. The contents recorded in them were all-encompassing, including martial arts secrets, elixirs, weapons, formations, talismans, and so on.

Although there are a lot of them, they are somewhat messy, and most of them are very ordinary with varying quality. Only about 30% of them can be called top-level, and the rest are mostly ordinary level and do not have much value.

"These are all things that belonged to the former Wen family..." Listening to the familiar yet unfamiliar names that the two people read out from time to time, Wen Qing suddenly sighed, and then slowly explained.

In the past, the Wen family encountered misfortune and only two siblings escaped. These jade slips were taken out from the secret vault at that time. Because they left in a hurry, they only took a part of them.

"Then these toys, could they be..." Ling Yuling took out one of the rattles and even shook it a few times, and immediately a series of thudding sounds followed.

"You guessed right, this is indeed what I used when I was a child." Hearing the familiar voice, Wen Qing's expression became more complicated.

"Liudao is dead, the past has turned to ashes, and you can let go of all the past. Your mother-in-law has been reborn and has a bright future. Why bother continuing to dwell on this? If it develops into a demon in your heart, it will be greatly detrimental to your future path." Mo Juren gave timely advice.

Hearing this, Wen Qing's originally complicated look instantly became clear.

Yes! No matter what Liudao had done, he was dead now, and dead completely, without even the chance of reincarnation.

In this case, if you still dwell on past grudges, it will not only be of no benefit, but will affect yourself, which is not worth it.

Just as the other party said, I have been reborn and have a promising future. I should look forward and let go of the grudges with the Six Paths.

"You don't need to take the things with you. And if you don't have anything else to do, please leave first. I want to be alone for some time." After chatting for a while, Wen Qing said again.

"Then... we will take our leave first."

Mo Juren stood up tactfully, then turned around and left with Ling Yuling.

For a moment, the hall became quiet again.

At this moment, Wen Qing was no longer as repulsed by the things in front of him as before. Instead, he took out the items one by one with great interest, and his crystal eyes were filled with infinite reminiscence.

In the past, when the family fell into decline, the two siblings escaped by chance. These jade slips were brought out by the two of them together, and they were kept personally for a long time.

As for these toys, they were the things I used in my childhood before the disaster hit my family. I didn’t expect that the other party still had them.

Now when I see these familiar things again, how can I not be touched?

After an unknown amount of time, she suddenly narrowed her eyes slightly, a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes, and then the flames in her palms rose, and all the toys were burned to ashes. In an instant, she suddenly felt a shock in her heart, as if a layer of ashes that had been deposited for a long time was wiped away, and her whole mind became extremely relaxed.

"The past is gone, brother, let's say goodbye now!"

……

"Husband, do you think we should tell father about this?" Ling Yuling said as she walked on the path outside the cave.

"This... let's forget it." Mo Juren shook his head slightly.

"After all, this is my mother-in-law's private matter. We shouldn't interfere too much. As for whether to inform my father-in-law, it's best to let her decide for herself."

"That's true. Besides, after my rebirth, it seems like there's a layer between my father and mother. They're not as close as before." Speaking of this, Ling Yulin couldn't help but sigh again.

"It's probably because they are not used to it. After all, their current identities are indeed a bit awkward. But it's not a big problem. Even if we can't be husband and wife, we can still be siblings.

In addition, my father-in-law and mother-in-law took the risk of rebirth, not for love, but for a greater pursuit, the key is to achieve immortality. "

"I was asking for too much." After listening to Mo Juren's advice, Ling Yuling let go of the entanglement in her heart and changed the subject:

"What are your plans next, my husband?"

"There just happened to be an important matter that I discussed with Leqing before. It concerns the future of Xinggong. As the true master of Xinggong, you really need to listen to it..." Mo Juren then recounted the so-called "successor" training plan in detail. After listening, Ling Yuling fell silent instantly.

To be honest, I was negligent before and never considered these things. Now that I think about it carefully, they are really not trivial matters.

This concerns the future development of Xinggong, so she has no choice but to pay attention to it.

"The Chen family, the Lu family, and the Ouyang family are considered the true direct descendants of Xing Palace, and their strength is not weak at all.

The Lu family, in particular, had an ancestor who was once the master of the Star Palace. However, after the ancestor passed away, the descendants of the Lu family were somewhat disappointing and never repeated their ancestor's glory.

As for the Chen family and the Ouyang family, although they are considered to be rising stars, they have also been passed down for thousands of years, and many powerful late-stage Nascent Soul masters have been born in their families. "Ling Yuling introduced the three major families one by one, and then said,

  "Among the three people just mentioned, Chen Tianhan is the one with the best aptitude and the highest chance of breaking through to the late stage. I think my husband is most optimistic about him, right?

However, there is one point that must be taken seriously. Because he follows the path of pure sword cultivation, his personality is somewhat extreme and he likes to take unconventional actions.

Such a person can be a great elder, but may not be suitable to be the master of the Star Palace."

  "This is indeed very important." Mo Juren nodded slightly. As expected, compared to Le Qing, Ling Yuling's understanding of Xinggong was more comprehensive.

"What about you? Who do you think is more suitable? Or maybe not just these three, you can also suggest other candidates."

"My husband, what do you think of Lu Yu?" Ling Yuling did not hesitate and answered directly.

"What's the reason?"

“First of all, in terms of aptitude, although Lu Yu is not a cultivator with natural spiritual roots, his spiritual roots of wind attribute are not inferior at all. In addition, he also possesses the ‘wood and wind body’. The two are not in conflict, but complement each other.

The second is the Lu family's inheritance, which is the strongest among the three families. After all, their ancestors had produced a powerful person in the God Transformation Stage, which is far beyond the comparison of the other two families.

The last point, which I think is the most important, is Lu Yu’s character. He is mature and steady. He plans things before taking action and is never swayed by emotions.

In fact, Lu Yu had shown his outstanding side a long time ago. He had been the patriarch of the Lu family since the Jindan stage and had led the Lu family to become more and more prosperous.

Husband, do you think it would be more appropriate for such a person to become the master of the Star Palace?"

"If Lu Yu is indeed so outstanding, then he is indeed a more suitable candidate." Mo Juren nodded in agreement, and the other party's point of view coincided with his.

If you want to become a leader, strength alone is not enough; wisdom, character, etc. are all essential. In this regard, Chen Tianhan is indeed lacking.

Think about it, he had no scruples in conflict with me just for a spoiled young man of the Chen family, and even had a fight outside the city. It can be seen that he tends to be impulsive.

You have to know that the opponent at that time was already a powerful Yuanying stage warrior, and was very famous in the entire Chaos Star Sea. However, he acted so recklessly, which really reduced his points.

Such a person is more like a martial arts fanatic, or a sword fanatic, but not a leader.

"Your suggestion makes sense, but even so, my plan will not change. I will continue to train these three people in secret. Perhaps there will be different results."

"I'm just giving you a reminder. The specific steps and the final decision on who will succeed Xinggong are all up to your husband." Ling Yuling didn't have any objections at all and said with a sweet smile.

"Well, let's go meet this Lu Yu first and see if he is as good as you mentioned." After he finished speaking, Mo Juren and Ling Yuling set off together.

The Lu family's original ancestral home was not in Tianxing City, but on another island some distance away from here. It was not until the rise of the Anti-Star Alliance many years ago that they were forced to move here.

Now, with the demise of the Anti-Star Alliance, most of the Lu family members have moved back to their own clan territory, leaving only a small number of senior leaders who have not left.

Lu Yu is one of them, and he is also the strongest person from the Lu family who remains in Tianxing City. Currently, he lives alone on the 42nd floor of the Holy Mountain.

At this time, inside the cave on the 42nd floor, a middle-aged man in a gray robe, with an ordinary appearance and an inconspicuous look was sitting cross-legged alone in the secret room.

His eyes were closed tightly, and aura was swirling around his body as he kept spinning. It was obvious that he was immersed in cultivation.

Suddenly, he seemed to sense something, and the spiritual light around him quickly stopped rotating, and then all converged into his body, and his eyes slowly opened.

He raised his hand into the air, and suddenly a beam of fire shot out and fell directly into his palm.

It was a communication talisman. After reading its contents, the man's eyes narrowed slightly and his expression became a little confused.

The young master and fellow Daoist Mo came together to meet him. Why? They couldn't be here just to chat. They must have some purpose.

He did not hesitate and walked out of the secret room immediately.
