Chapter 327: Things Are Not Given for Free; If You Want It, You Have to Work for It!
Da Shiming even suspected whether she had misheard.
Or, perhaps, Li Mo misspoke!
This involved the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon and the Yin-Yang School’s treasured item.
You would give it so easily to yourself?
Li Mo seemed to sense her thoughts.
With a smile, he said, “Giving it to you is one thing, but it cannot be given for free.”
After a pause, he continued, “Help me with something.”
Da Shiming immediately understood.
So there was a requirement.
However, with his identity, status, and strength, along with his many capable subordinates, what could possibly require her to do it herself?
“What would you like, National Advisor?”
After pondering for a bit, Da Shiming asked.
No matter what the reason, she absolutely had to obtain the Illusion Sound Treasure Box.
Li Mo didn’t beat around the bush, stating directly, “Help me kill someone.”
“Who?”
“Farmer’s Hero, Tian Guang.”
“Who?”
Da Shiming was suddenly astonished!
The Farmer’s Hero, regardless of his status, the strength of the Free and Unfettered Realm was not something she could handle!
“Is it too difficult?”
Da Shiming looked at him with a troubled expression, remaining silent.
Her meaning was unclear.
She was going to kill Tian Guang; what was the difference from sending her to her death?
“I know it’s difficult, otherwise I wouldn’t have asked you to go.”
“You think obtaining the treasured item is that easy?”
Li Mo weighed the Illusion Sound Treasure Box in his hand, there was a certain temptation in it.
Da Shiming watched as he tossed the treasure box around, her heart racing with each motion.
She feared he might accidentally drop it on the ground.
Li Mo’s words left her no room for rebuttal.
Anyone who knew the function of this item wouldn’t easily part with it.
A Farmer’s Hero’s life in exchange for the Yin-Yang School’s treasured Illusion Sound Treasure Box.
Any disciple of the Yin-Yang School would likely know how to choose.
Da Shiming hesitated for just a moment before nodding her agreement.
“Alright, I hope the National Advisor doesn’t go back on his word.”
Testing it out still offered a chance.
If she didn’t try, there wouldn’t be any opportunity at all.
Da Shiming didn’t think that stealing the Illusion Sound Treasure Box from a Spirit Realm expert would be easier than killing Tian Guang.
“Rest assured, I always keep my word and deliver on my promises.”
Li Mo said with a smile while gripping the treasure box he had thrown around.
“Not only will I give you the treasure box after the deed is done, but I will also send someone to assist you.”
Da Shiming was momentarily stunned, unable to believe it: “Send someone to help me?”
Then, she felt displeased: “Does the National Advisor think I can’t handle it?”
Li Mo chuckled dismissively: “Then why don’t you tell me your chance of success?”
“I…”
“Don’t be stubborn. I know you Yin-Yang School people are proud, but I hope you can tell the difference between pride and self-awareness.”
Li Mo suddenly interrupted her.
Continuing, he said, “I like to act swiftly and decisively. If this attempt fails, Tian Guang will be on guard, and it won’t be so easy to kill him again.”
“Are you expecting me to personally step in and clean up the mess?”
Da Shiming felt herself flush with embarrassment at his merciless taunt.
She wanted to retort but couldn’t muster the courage.
“Why do I have to kill him?”
In the end, Da Shiming thought of this question.
Since Li Mo could dispatch someone to assist her, there was no need to repeatedly send her to assassinate.
A person capable of destroying a nation would surely have no trouble dealing with a Farmer’s Hero.
“That’s not something you should be asking or worrying about.”
“Just know that if you kill Tian Guang, the Illusion Sound Treasure Box is yours; that’s enough.”
Li Mo wasn’t interested in explaining or had any need to.
Though he indeed prepared to hand the Illusion Sound Treasure Box over to Donghuang Taiyi, the initiative was in his hands.
Negotiations required leverage.
Questions also did.
Unfortunately, Da Shiming was at a disadvantage.
With no alternative, Da Shiming had no choice but to accept such a task.
Not long after she left, Fei Yan approached with Xiao Yan’er in her arms.
It seemed she had timed it perfectly.
“Although Da Shiming is the Fire Elder of the Yin-Yang School, she is not even close to Tian Guang’s level; sending her to assassinate would likely result in more losses than gains.”
Fei Yan, holding Xiao Yan’er, radiated maternal warmth.
Though the child wasn’t hers, it was clear she adored Xiao Yan’er.
Even her voice was soft and gentle, afraid of startling the child in her arms.
“I know, Tian Guang isn’t easy to kill; this time, I’m planning to send Wei Zhuang and Tian Ze along as well. Here, let me hold her.”
After more than a year, Wei Zhuang had made rapid progress.
He had already firmly stepped into the Free and Unfettered Realm.
The same went for Gai Nie.
The swordsmanship talents of these two brothers were indisputable.
Given time, they might even be the fastest to reach the Spirit Realm after Fei Yan.
Li Mo opened his arms, just as Fei Yan prepared to hand over the wide-eyed Xiao Yan’er to him.
Instead, Li Mo pulled her and Xiao Yan’er into his embrace.
Fei Yan laughed in surprise: “Who exactly are you trying to hold?”
“Of course both of you. Tsk, tsk, tsk, my good daughter, call me Daddy.”
Li Mo playfully poked Xiao Yan’er’s plump little face with a finger.
After over a month of growth, Xiao Yan’er was no longer the wrinkled little bundle she had been at birth.
Instead, she was now plump, pale, and shiny.
She resembled the skin texture of Jing Ni.
Fei Yan smiled sweetly at him, her lips curling with affectionate charm.
But deep down, she was calculating how much longer it would take her to truly reach the Spirit Realm.
Once she reached the Spirit Realm, she could also have a child.
“Why doesn’t my lady ask me why I’m going to kill Tian Guang?”
Li Mo teased Xiao Yan’er for a while, poking her little mouth, which made her pout as if she were about to cry.
Seeing this, Fei Yan shot him a glare and quickly took Xiao Yan’er away from his grasp.
While soothing the tearful Xiao Yan’er, she said, “My husband always has his reasons for doing things; sending so many people to target Tian Guang must not be a whim.”
Though she was also curious as to why Li Mo wanted to have someone killed, her character prevented her from asking too many questions.
No matter what Li Mo did, Fei Yan would never pry.
Even if he said to take action herself, she would set off without a second thought.
Li Mo felt a surge of emotion within him.
What more could a husband ask for with a wife like this?
Such a strong, beautiful, and caring wife; and he had more than just one.
Isn’t it infuriating?
