Chapter 945: Returning Home Once Again
After walking out from the battle arena, Mo Wen immediately returned to the store without being discovered by anyone along the way. At the moment, the entrance to the battle arena was blocked by a huge crowd of people. Some of them were there to accost Mo Wen; some of them were there for Yao Yu. Who wouldn’t admire and worship such powerful, strong youth practitioners? The two of them already had a rather huge celebrity status in Dragon City.
However, these people did not know that the battle arena had a special passageway. The two of them had always used the passageway to leave the battle arena. People had blocked the entrance in vain.
Once Mo Wen entered the store, his expression suddenly turned pale. Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth; he was, finally, no longer able to suppress the writhing Qi and blood inside him.
In truth, Mo Wen was already injured from engaging with Yao Yu. Also, his injuries had been expanding constantly. If he had continued to fight, he would certainly have lost.
That Yao Yu was just too powerful. She was practically inhuman. He had gone all-out and still had only managed to reach a stalemate fighting against her. Also, she didn’t seem to have truly gone all-out herself. One could only imagine how frightening her hidden techniques were.
Hence, when Yao Yu asked for a stalemate, Mo Wen immediately agreed.
“My abilities are still somewhat lacking. Even among those below the Primordial Soul realm, I am not necessarily unrivaled.”
Mo Wen softly sighed. That Yao Yu was not inferior to him in any respect.
…
After a lively few months, the Martial Arts Circle Convention finally ended. The Convention this time around was the most exciting one in the past few centuries. Not only did the Peng Lai Immortal Realm ancient martial arts practitioners and sects make an appearance, but, most unexpectedly of all, a youth from the main space came out on top and defeated all his opponents in a stunning fashion.
Two months was not an insignificant amount of time. Mo Wen had obtained what he wanted. At the same time, he had worked hard to earn more than four million spiritual stones. The store had only earned a little over two million spiritual stones. However, in the final trade fair, Mo Wen brought out all his high rank medicinal pills to sell. He reaped two to three million spiritual stones in one go.
As for the contents of the trade fair, Mo Wen was not interested in them at all. He did not even show his face much at the fair. It wasn’t that the things that the Huatian Palace brought out to trade were not good enough. Many of their goods still attracted Mo Wen very much. Rather, it was the Huatian Palace’s asking price…when Mo Wen saw the price tag, it curbed his urge to purchase anything. If one person knew that he would have to be a sucker to buy the items at that price, would he still be fooled? In the Immortal Cultivation world, the same amount of spiritual stones could buy items that were more than ten times better.
Wang Yinru returned to the Dafang Sect. By that time, the Dafang Sect had already become the most noticeable sect in the main space. Many ancient martial art practitioners came to pledge their allegiance to them. Suddenly, the affairs within the sect became hectic. Not just those from the main space, but even many Inner world ancient martial arts practitioners came to pledge their allegiance. A man’s livelihood or career is assured if he has influential friends. With such a frightening sect leader, the Dafang Sect certainly had a bright future ahead.
Wang Yinru knew that, for Mo Wen, the Dafang Sect was inconsequential; for her, however, it was her root. It was the place that she was born and that raised her. She needed to protect all of it. Also, the Dafang Sect was the only connection between Mo Wen and her.
As for Su Wan’er, she returned with Tan Qiyue and the others to the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. Relatively speaking, the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension’s resources were obviously several levels higher than those in the main space. If Mo Wen trained her a little, Su Wan’er could grow rapidly within a short amount of time.
The crisis of the Martial Arts Circle Convention finally passed. After one month, the campus at Hua Xia University was still filled with a youthful and energetic atmosphere.
Mo Wen walked around on campus. A long-lost sense of familiarity welled up within him. Although he had not been in the university for long, and had often disappeared for ten days to half a month or even several months, he had many beautiful memories of this place.
The Freak Dormitory was still empty. Even Dongfang Yi, who was always around in the dormitory, had seldom appeared again. It was because his reason for existence was to monitor these special students that practiced martial arts teachings. They had high destructive tendencies and were also unpredictable. If there were no one monitoring them and they were left to their own devices on campus, the faculty would not have any peace of mind.
However, right now the Freak Dormitory was already completely empty. Hu Qiongqi had joined the Dafang Sect and, because of the support of the sect’s resources, had broken through to the Embryonic Breathing realm. Right now, he was rapidly advancing in the Dafang Sect, and, as they were short of people, he naturally would not have the leisure of staying in the university to study. As for the Western Poisoner Ren Liusha – after he was poisoned by a poison expert and cured by Mo Wen, he disappeared again, and there had been no news of him since.
Long before Mo Wen came to the dormitory, Southern Ghost had stopped showing up. Up until now, he still had not appeared.
The reason why the members of the Freak Dormitory were referred to as freaks was because their behaviors were incompatible with those of ordinary people. They also came and went as they pleased. They usually appeared for a brief while and then disappeared again without a trace. However, legends about them were always making rounds on the campus. Occasionally, after a meal, three to five students would gather and discuss the matters of the Freak Dormitory.
Of course, Mo Wen was not mentioned in their discussions. Although he had stayed in the Freak Dormitory, he had not caused any commotion at the university. In other words, he had kept a very low profile – so low that many people did not recognize him.
The bell for class rang. Following his memory, Mo Wen walked towards the faculty buildings. He scanned around a little bit with his deified soul and found some of his classmates who were in class. In reality, however, he did not know where the classroom was and what class was on at all.
When Mo Wen walked into the room, he noticed that many people turned to see him. They looked at him doubtfully as though they were looking at a stranger. Many of the people in the class did not even recognize Mo Wen. Even if they had seen him before, after not getting a glimpse him for such a long time, they most likely had forgotten about him.
Of course, there were quite a few people who remembered Mo Wen. When these people saw him walk into the classroom, they all looked as though they had seen a ghost. A person who had never come to class had actually appeared in the classroom!
“Mo Wen! Big Hero Mo! Where did you run off to? Tsk tsk, this is unprecedented. You actually came back to class.”
Wang Yuan was the first one on his feet. He looked very surprised at Mo Wen. Ever since the Bi Clan Manor House incident, he had never once seen him. He thought that Mo Wen had gone off into the Jianghu to make a living away from home. After all, for such a powerful ancient martial arts practitioner as Mo Wen, continuing to study in school had long ceased to be meaningful.
Aside from Wang Yuan, the squad leader Chen Zhongqing, along with a few other friends of his, gathered around. They all found this bizarre. Mo Wen had actually come to class! Normally, the university would have expelled such a person. They had even previously suspected that Mo Wen had been quietly expelled by the school.
“Where is Xiaoyou?”
Mo Wen swept his eyes around the classroom and did not see Xiaoyou, so he looked at Wang Yuan and the others. It was already a month since the semester had started. By right, Qin Xiaoyou should be on campus.
“Qin Xiaoyou? It has been a long time since I last saw her. She has not come at all this semester,” Wang Yuan said. As Hua Xia University’s campus beauty and the pride of their class, Qin Xiaoyou not coming to school was a huge deal. Beforehand, the topic had been widely discussed on campus.
The faculty had approached Qin Xiaoyou’s family regarding this, but her family members did not give an exact answer. They only said that Qin Xiaoyou would be temporarily taking leave from her studies for a while. After that, the matter was left as it was.
“Mo Wen, I was about to ask you the same thing. Xiaoyou has not been to class for a long while. Did you kidnap her?”
Wang Xiaofei’s hands were on her hips. She grabbed a few male classmates and shoved them behind her. She was as unruly as ever.
Before this, Wang Xiaofei had suspected that Qin Xiaoyou suddenly did not come to class because Mo Wen had taken her away. However, Mo Wen had come running over to campus to find Xiaoyou. It was rather bizarre.
Mo Wen could not help but frown. Qin Xiaoyou actually was not coming to class. Didn’t she say that she would spend some time with his mother and then come back for her classes? Could it be that she was still with his mother and had not returned at all? When he thought about this, Mo Wen felt somewhat uneasy. Could something have happened to Xiaoyou? Thanks to her personality, Xiaoyou was a typical goody-two-shoes student. She wouldn’t just play hookey.
“I will go and find Xiaoyou.”
Mo Wen left them with these words and walked out of the classroom.
“Hey, you…you’d better find Xiaoyou and bring her back.”
Mo Wen left as soon as he said he would. He did not even respond to Wang Xiaofei. She wanted to feel mad at him. Did he know how to show respect to others? Was he really able to ignore people just because his cultivation level was high? However, when she suddenly realized that Xiaoyou was not actually with Mo Wen, she wondered whether something had happened to Xiaoyou. Immediately, Wang Xiaofei also began to grow worried.
Mo Wen was walking along a path on campus when he suddenly felt an emptiness in his heart. He had returned to the university to find Xiaoyou. However, Xiaoyou was not actually around. Why had she not returned to the university? As he looked at the familiar scenery around him, Mo Wen suddenly felt that the place was the same, but the people had changed.
Shen Jing was not here, and now Qin Xiaoyou was also not here. This university seemed to have lost all its nostalgia. The only value left in it was, perhaps, that it could make his mother slightly happier.
Mo Wen softly sighed. Back then, he had only come to the university to get a diploma. If he told his mother that he had practiced martial arts teachings and had very advanced cultivation, his mother would certainly not know what he meant. However, if he told his mother that he had entered the best university in Hua Xia, she would certainly be very happy. However, the university and his classmates ultimately were in a different world than he was in.
Mo Wen went to the Huo Clan and found Qin Xiaoyou’s mother. To his surprise, Qin Xiaoyou had actually written to her mother long ago, saying that she had an important matter to attend to and needed to stay with her mother-in-law. Qin Xiaoyou did not specify what matter that was. The purpose of her letter was to tell her mother, Wang Huiru, not to worry.
She was staying at Mo Wen’s place? Wang Huiru thought that it was also related to Mo Wen, so she naturally would not worry or object.
“Could it be that Xiaoyou is still at my home? If so, why did she stay there?”
When he thought about this, Mo Wen could not sit still any longer. He immediately rushed over to his home. It was in a different space. He had not understood before – but how was it that he didn’t understand things now? Only Heaven knew what could happen in such an environment.
However, when Mo Wen rushed back home, something that he had never imagined happened once again.
