Chapter 39: Lin Mo, this is all I can teach you.
Everyone looked in the direction Lin Mo was gazing.
Suddenly, a powerful aura swept over them.
The middle-aged man beside the chubby youngster in purple and the elder next to Huai Chen simultaneously exclaimed in surprise, “Peak Golden Core!”
This statement sent everyone’s hearts into their throats.
The junior sisters had no idea whether this hidden peak Golden Core cultivator was friend or foe.
But they all hoped it was an ally.
Even if not an ally, they hoped it wasn’t an enemy of Huai Chen and the chubby youngster in purple.
Otherwise, they truly wouldn’t have any chance of escape.
Ruoyan Qu, still holding a lollipop, called out, “Don’t worry, seeing how calm Senior Brother is, the person must be an ally.”
Xia He suddenly remembered that the chubby youngster in purple had mentioned earlier that Lin Mo was from one of the five great families of the upper realm.
She recalled her father mentioning that people from the five great families of the upper realm included the Lin family.
Her Senior Brother’s surname was also Lin, and combined with his composed demeanor,
Xia He also felt that it was highly probable that the person hidden at the end was someone from Lin Mo’s side.
“Heh heh, kid, how did you discover me?” a hoarse, sinister voice echoed, and the Poison Eyebrow Old Man slowly emerged from his hunched stance.
Most of the junior sisters, except for Ruoyan Qu, felt utter despair.
Especially Zhiqu Xie, who trembled behind Zhi’an Xie the moment she saw the Poison Eyebrow Old Man.
She clearly remembered how the old man had leered at her during the auction, as if he wanted to devour her on the spot.
After pausing his gaze on Zhiqu Xie for a moment, the Poison Eyebrow Old Man turned his attention to Lin Mo and licked his lips, “Good kid, I’m liking you more and more.”
Being leered at by a homosexual old man made Lin Mo’s skin crawl; it was utterly disgusting.
“My like you!”
The Poison Eyebrow Old Man was bewildered, he didn’t understand this sentence at all.
Of course, he wouldn’t understand. Lin Mo had blurted out Cantonese out of sheer revulsion.
Seeing that it wasn’t Lin Mo’s reinforcements, the chubby youngster in purple breathed a slight sigh of relief and cupped his hands, “Senior Poison Eyebrow, I am from the Wang family of Jinshui, Wang Sandun.”
“I presume Senior has been following us, also for the beauty.”
“There’s no need for Senior to act this time. After I resolve this matter, the sister… and brother will be at Senior’s disposal.”
The Poison Eyebrow Old Man stroked his beard, “You’re quite sharp, little brat. This proposal is excellent. I don’t want the sister of that pair.”
“However!” the Poison Eyebrow Old Man turned to Lin Mo and said, “I want to kill this kid. He suits my appetite!”
“Splendid, Senior.”
Wang Sandun then discussed with Huai Chen, “That woman from the Xia family is yours, the rest are mine!”
Huai Chen had no objections; he only wanted Xia He!
Hearing this, Xia He felt her heart sink into despair.
She gritted her teeth and was about to step forward…
Lin Mo said coldly, “Put away your foolish thoughts. Don’t think sacrificing yourself will save us!”
“The three parties have different objectives. You going over is pointless!”
“I won’t be grateful to you for this, nor will my opinion of you change.”
“How could you know what I was going to do?” Xia He looked incredulous, her intentions completely exposed.
How could he know?
He had seen too many novels where a young lady, thinking herself superior, made a mistake and was then saved by the male lead, while she desperately tried to redeem herself.
If he truly let her redeem herself, would he then have to take her in?
Lin Mo would never do such a thing. He had no intention of getting involved with Xia He any further.
Moreover, even if Xia He did, it wouldn’t solve the fundamental problem; it would be utterly futile.
“With that little head of yours, I could guess your ridiculous thoughts with my eyes closed,” Lin Mo said without any sympathy, kicking Xia He, “Go to the back and stay there. Don’t interfere with my performance.”
“If you get captured again by the enemy and used as a bargaining chip to threaten me, please have some shame and just kill yourself on the spot!”
Xia He was stunned after hearing this…
She had thought her actions could change Lin Mo’s previous opinion of her, but instead, he lectured her, treated her like a joke, showed no regard for her feelings, kicked her, and even verbally humiliated her.
She felt wronged, profoundly wronged, a hundred percent wronged.
She had been willing to sacrifice herself, only to be treated this way by him.
In the past, she would have been furious.
But now, she couldn’t muster any anger.
On the contrary, the more Lin Mo seemed to disdain her, the more she longed for his approval and affection.
As she thought about it, she recalled the feeling of him ruthlessly slapping her yesterday, and involuntarily clenched her legs together.
Lin Mo thought that after kicking Xia He and clarifying things so thoroughly, she should finally give up on trying to redeem herself.
But when he looked again, Lin Mo was utterly shocked.
Xia He’s previously wronged expression suddenly became filled with fighting spirit, and at the end, she clenched her legs together with a foolish look on her face.
Damn it, this girl is beyond saving!
Wang Sandun sneered, “You think too highly of yourself. Do I need to use someone to threaten you to take down a mere Foundation Stage cultivator like you?”
“Besides, would a young master like me do something as cowardly as that?”
Ruoyan Qu then looked at Lin Mo, “Senior Brother Lin, what is his cultivation level?”
Lin Mo said calmly, “Foundation Stage!”
Ruoyan Qu then stared at Wang Sandun’s face and said with innocent eyes, “So you’re also just a little Foundation Stage… ”
Huh?
Ruoyan Qu’s move amused Lin Mo.
This natural ditziness had a hint of cunning.
“What’s wrong with me being at the Foundation Stage? I have a Golden Core cultivator by my side!” Wang Sandun was completely flustered by Ruoyan Qu’s action, “Little girl, you just wait. After my subordinate takes down your Senior Brother, I’ll properly handle you tonight!”
Ruoyan Qu didn’t understand what Wang Sandun meant.
She cheered for Lin Mo, “Go, Senior Brother!!!”
Zhi’an Xie shook her head inwardly. This wasn’t something cheering could win.
A Foundation Stage cultivator defeating a Golden Core cultivator, and winning.
She had only heard of it occasionally.
Those Foundation Stage cultivators who defeated Golden Core cultivators were undoubtedly top-tier geniuses.
Not only did they possess Heavenly Spirit Root aptitude, but their equipment was also top-notch, and they practiced high-quality cultivation techniques.
As far as she knew, Lin Mo met none of these conditions.
His aptitude was merely Dual Spirit Root, he practiced a life-nourishing cultivation technique, and she hadn’t seen any good equipment on him.
How could he challenge opponents at a higher level?
She couldn’t understand why her Senior Brother remained so calm even now!
Good, let’s take a step back. Even if Lin Mo could defeat the Golden Core cultivator beside Wang Sandun.
There were still two other Golden Core cultivators present.
Their cultivation levels were higher and higher, and the Poison Eyebrow Old Man had even killed a Nascent Soul stage expert before.
How could Lin Mo deal with them?
This was already a dead end!
Unless a righteous cultivator with higher cultivation could rescue them…
However, in this lower realm near Daliang City, encountering a righteous cultivator with high cultivation was like finding a needle in a haystack.
The outcome was decided; their fate would likely be death, which would be the best option.
At least that would guarantee their chastity and prevent them from being violated and insulted by these disgusting men!
Lin Mo noticed the change in Zhi’an Xie’s expression and roughly knew what she was thinking.
“Before we return to the Sect, I will teach you one last lesson.”
“Killing is simpler than saving. Mercy towards enemies is cruelty to oneself. You must eradicate the roots and nip any potential danger in the bud, only then can you live longer!”
Ruoyan Qu then counted on her fingers, “Senior Brother, aren’t those several lessons?”
“……” Lin Mo!
……….
