LGHTNOVELBOOK 15: Come Back with Me
Since she had been discovered anyway, Chu Sang appeared openly and even greeted them, “Hi, long time no see.”
She noticed Mo Qingchen’s face was a bit pale, and the hand gripping his sword was trembling slightly. She estimated that his actual physical condition wasn’t as calm as he appeared on the surface. Looking closely, the spiritual energy around him was also unusually chaotic, as if he was stuck between late-stage Foundation Establishment and having one foot in Golden Core…
Combining this with the timeline of his Golden Core formation in the original story.
Chu Sang had a bold guess.
No wonder Mo Qingchen hadn’t accompanied Qin Xixue to venture into the secret realm at first. He must have been preparing for his breakthrough, but ended up being urgently summoned by the female protagonist halfway through forming his Golden Core, which is why he was like this.
Huh.
How pitiful.
Although in Mary Sue novels the female protagonist has countless male confidants, if one had to name a male lead, Mo Qingchen was undoubtedly the rightful main consort.
It’s just… this male lead’s head always had to wear a bit of green.
She repeated it again in her heart.
How pitiful indeed.
Mo Qingchen was stunned, his gaze fixed tightly on her. After a long while, he finally spoke in a low voice, “Chu Sang?”
His expression seemed somewhat uncertain, as if asking how she could be here.
Qiu Xiude and his group also followed up, seeing Chu Sang and her companions unharmed and back again, they became even more resentful, “How is it you people again!”
Then a cold laugh escaped his lips, “This time our sect’s strongest personal disciple is here. Let’s see what tricks you can play now! Don’t think you can run away this time!”
Tantai Ming shielded his little junior sister behind him, looking at Qiu Xiude’s disheveled appearance, he raised his lips in mockery, “Oh, you’re still alive? I thought that spirit beast’s tail would have sent you to meet your ancestors.”
Qiu Xiude was stunned for a moment, then reacted, his face turning black as the bottom of a pot. He gritted his teeth and said, “So… you knew all along! You did this on purpose!”
He hurriedly looked towards Mo Qingchen, his eyes hiding a trace of jealousy and unwillingness, but he had to lower his posture when facing a personal disciple. He explained in a low voice, “Elder Chang Yu instructed us to escort Little Junior Sister Qin to the secret realm to get the Heart Essence Ethereal Grass. This spirit herb can repair spirit roots, but these people have repeatedly obstructed us, ruining our plans.”
“Senior Brother Mo, we must teach them a lesson. Our Tianyan Sect is not to be bullied!”
Mo Qingchen only looked at Chu Sang, pursing his lips in silent contemplation. His gaze lingered heavily on the two people beside her for a few breaths. He frowned and asked a question that seemed out of context,
“Who are these two?”
Not brother, why do you still have a questioning and unwilling look? Shouldn’t you be questioning Qiu Xiude beside you, whose gaze is lingering on your little junior sister?
Can’t you see this person is openly trying to steal from you?
The beauty in your arms has already been pulled away by him!
Chu Sang didn’t understand and was greatly shocked.
Mo Qingchen stepped forward, his gaze fixed on her, his voice cold and deep, “You’ve run away from the sect for half a month without returning, just to hang around with these two?”
There are only a few geniuses in the cultivation world, and Mu Chihuai is one of them, as is Mo Qingchen.
Mu Chihuai immediately recognized the other’s identity. He narrowed his eyes, his tone still relatively polite, “May I ask what relationship you have with Little Junior Sister? What business is it of yours what Little Junior Sister does?”
“Little Junior Sister…?”
Mo Qingchen didn’t answer. He lowered his head and chewed over these three words, his face turning cold, “I thought you had just left the sect in anger again. I didn’t expect you to have found a new sect?”
“You were there at the time. It was said that I was expelled from the sect. I’m no longer a disciple of Tianyan Sect.” Chu Sang was a bit confused. Shouldn’t the male lead be hurrying to comfort the panicked female lead at this point? How come he’s turned around and is constantly pressing her, a cannon fodder female supporting character?
Mo Qingchen’s expression changed several times, seemingly hiding multiple emotions. Finally, he reached out his hand to her and said calmly, “I know you have grievances. Come back with me, apologize to Master. I’ll plead with Master for you. He won’t blame you anymore.”
