Who is this person?!

As everyone watched the silver-eyed youth that Qing Lin approached, a big question mark floated in their minds.

This was someone for whom Qing Lin had rejected the invitation of Mo Ya, the young sect master of the Black Emperor Sect and a genius at the level of a six-star Dou Huang. Such a decision piqued the curiosity of the crowd—could this youth also have an extraordinary background?

Mo Ya followed Qing Lin's footsteps with his gaze, his brows slightly furrowing when he saw the youth's bewitching silver eyes. A thought surfaced in his mind, recalling the reports from Elder Huang at the city gate just days prior. Could it be...

At that moment, Qing Lin's graceful steps brought her to stand beside Mo Yu. Her emerald-green eyes locked onto the young man before her. The next words she spoke stunned everyone.

Standing obediently by the silver-eyed youth, Qing Lin's green eyes glowed with a soft tenderness as her voice turned sweet and docile: "Young Master, I've arrived."

What?! Young Master?!

The crowd was dumbfounded as they stared at Qing Lin, who now appeared no different from an obedient maidservant standing beside Mo Yu. Who would have thought that this mysterious woman, with her enigmatic origins and immense power, would address the silver-eyed youth as "Young Master"?

The Grand Elder of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, Bai Han, also darkened upon hearing this. His sharp, hawk-like gaze fixed itself on Mo Yu, his thoughts swirling.

Mo Yu's identity was no longer a mystery to Bai Han. The Heavenly Serpent Mansion had extensive records regarding Qing Lin's past, including a key figure—a young master of a minor clan by the name of Mo Yu.

According to reports from Lü Man, who had brought Qing Lin back to the mansion, Mo Yu held an extraordinary place in her heart.

However, the Heavenly Serpent Mansion's leaders, Bai Han included, had dismissed this information as irrelevant.

To them, Mo Yu was merely a fleeting figure in Qing Lin's life. After all, the current Qing Lin was not only the next in line to lead the Heavenly Serpent Mansion but also a future powerhouse capable of shaking the Northwest Continent.

How could she possibly still care about a young master from a minor family?

Yet, witnessing Qing Lin's submissive demeanor beside Mo Yu, Bai Han's brow furrowed deeply. It was clear that the Heavenly Serpent Mansion's initial assessment had been utterly wrong.

The Qing Lin before him showed no trace of the authority expected of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion's heir. Instead, she seemed wholly devoted to Mo Yu.

Noticing the Grand Elder's grim expression, Qing Lin responded with a carefree smile and even playfully winked at Mo Yu.

During the past two days, although she had not sought Mo Yu out, she had gleaned some information about the "Yuan Manor" he mentioned. It turned out to be a colossal force in the Black-Corner Region, even capable of defeating the Black Alliance—a coalition of top-tier powers led by the Medicine Emperor Han Feng.

Understanding this, Qing Lin grew even more admiring of Mo Yu. His strength and influence meant she no longer needed to worry about bringing trouble to him, emboldening her to display their relationship openly.

Bai Han's expression darkened further as he witnessed Qing Lin's intimacy with Mo Yu. Qing Lin represented not only herself but also the Heavenly Serpent Mansion. How could she lower herself so publicly?

Furthermore, Qing Lin's betrothal to the mansion lord's eldest son was a decision made by the leadership. Producing another child with the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils was a strategy crucial to the Heavenly Serpent Mansion's long-term future. The marriage could not be disrupted.

Yet now, an unforeseen complication had arisen. If they could either win Mo Yu over or force him to leave Qing Lin, the situation might still be salvageable.

As Bai Han pondered his strategy, Mo Ya's eyes flickered with an unreadable expression. He chuckled softly and spoke: "So, this is the esteemed Mo Yu, the head of Yuan Manor. Forgive the Black Emperor Sect for our lack of courtesy."

Despite his polite words, Mo Ya's heart was churning. Based on Elder Huang's earlier report and the impressive aura of the three Yao brothers behind Mo Yu, it was clear that the silver-eyed youth was none other than Mo Yu, the rising star of the Black-Corner Region and the head of Yuan Manor!

This realization unsettled Mo Ya. As the young sect master groomed to lead the Black Emperor Sect, he had grown up basking in accolades. The sect had spared no resources in nurturing him, enabling him to reach the Dou Huang level before the age of thirty—a feat he took immense pride in.

Yet, in front of Mo Yu, his pride felt diminished. This youth, seemingly younger than him, had built a powerful force rivaling the Black Emperor Sect through sheer strength and resourcefulness.

Still, Mo Ya quickly suppressed his unease. As someone who had achieved Dou Huang, he wouldn't allow external factors to hinder his ambitions.

"Mo Yu, you honor us with your presence. May I assist you in your visit to Elder Qi Shan?" Mo Ya said with a smile.

"Thank you, Mo Ya," Mo Yu replied, his silver eyes flashing as he smiled faintly.

As the two exchanged words, murmurs erupted in the hall.

"What?! He's the Mo Yu of Yuan Manor?"

"The same Mo Yu who defeated the Black Alliance and nearly killed the Medicine Emperor Han Feng?"

"No wonder those silver eyes looked familiar—so it's him!"

Hearing the growing whispers, Bai Han's expression stiffened as he stared at the youth beside Qing Lin. Qing Lin's former young master was none other than Yuan Manor's Mo Yu?!

Although the Heavenly Serpent Mansion's stronghold was far from the Black-Corner Region, Yuan Manor's rise had been impossible to ignore since they entered the region. Tales of Mo Yu's exploits were everywhere.

Even Bai Han, the Grand Elder of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, couldn't help but take note of the newly risen force known as Yuan Manor after hearing about their exploits.

After all, the Black Alliance, founded by Han Feng, had considerable influence due to his identity as a sixth-tier alchemist. Though slightly weaker in terms of raw power, its sway rivaled that of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion. Yet, this seemingly unassuming Yuan Manor managed to overthrow such a formidable alliance, an accomplishment that shocked everyone who heard of it.

What stunned Bai Han even more was the revelation that Yuan Manor's leader was the young master of the obscure clan in the Jia Ma Empire that Qing Lin once served. Weren't they supposed to be a weak and insignificant clan? How could they suddenly produce a power as mighty as Yuan Manor, which could contend with the Heavenly Serpent Mansion?

This thought unsettled Bai Han greatly.

"So, you are Mo Yu," Bai Han remarked as he slowly approached, scrutinizing the young man. "According to Lü Man, when he first met Qing Lin, you were just a prodigy being hunted by the Mu Lan Three Elders. Yet, you've grown to such heights today. No wonder Lü Man praised you so highly."

"Yes, I am Mo Yu," Mo Yu replied, unfazed by Bai Han's scrutinizing gaze. He reached out to pat Qing Lin's head, his tone calm but firm. "You must be the Grand Elder of the Heavenly Serpent Mansion. Thank you for taking care of Qing Lin these past years. If you get the chance, please convey my gratitude to Lü Man. Let him know I owe him a favor."

Bai Han's face darkened slightly at Mo Yu's affectionate gesture toward Qing Lin. He spoke coldly, "Qing Lin is the future leader of our Heavenly Serpent Mansion. Taking care of her is our duty. However, Mo Manor Lord, your past relationship as her young master ended the moment she joined us.

"Moreover, following the unanimous decision of our higher-ups, Qing Lin has been betrothed to the leader's eldest son. This matter is known throughout the Heavenly Serpent Nation. For the sake of Qing Lin's well-being and the rapport between our two factions, I urge you to respect yourself."

A powerful aura surged from Bai Han, chilling the air. Even Mo Ya, standing nearby, felt a wave of unease, silently acknowledging the terrifying might of a Dou Zong.

However, Mo Yu remained calm, raising a hand to stop Qing Lin from voicing her protests. Fixing Bai Han with a cold gaze, he replied, "Grand Elder Bai, I appreciate the care your mansion has shown to Qing Lin. But if you think that gives you the right to decide a marriage against her will, I will not allow it.

"As long as Qing Lin recognizes me as her young master, her affairs remain under my jurisdiction. In the Black-Corner Region, I've even dared to defy the Black Alliance. The question is, does your Heavenly Serpent Mansion have the courage to wage war?"

Mo Yu's words were sharp and unyielding, his cold eyes boring into Bai Han.

Initially, Mo Yu had no intention of antagonizing the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, especially after Lü Man's aid in his escape from the Mu Lan Empire. But seeing Bai Han's stubborn demeanor, he knew there was no room for compromise.

"Arrogant brat!" Bai Han's expression turned grim. "Do you think possessing a Dou Zong puppet grants you the right to act so brazenly? Today, I'll test whether the Yuan Manor Lord has any real substance!"

With that, Bai Han's aura surged even stronger, dropping the temperature in the hall significantly. He was well aware of Mo Yu's Dou Zong-level puppet, but he didn't believe it could match a true Dou Zong like himself. Qing Lin's future was crucial to the Heavenly Serpent Mansion's plans for the next century, and he would not back down.

Sensing the rising tension, the three Yao brothers behind Mo Yu immediately tensed, ready to defend their lord despite the overwhelming difference in strength.

Mo Ya, watching the confrontation unfold, narrowed his eyes. The revelation of Qing Lin's arranged marriage both shocked and unsettled him, but he quickly set aside his emotions. As the young master of the Black Emperor Sect, he had no shortage of opportunities for alliances through marriage. For now, his curiosity about Mo Yu's true capabilities took precedence.

Beside Mo Yu, Qing Lin's eyes reddened with guilt. "I'm sorry, young master. I've caused you trouble…"

Mo Yu smiled gently. "Don't worry, Qing Lin. Leave everything to me. I won't let you marry someone you don't like."

"Hmph, how insolent!" Bai Han sneered, his tone icy. He turned to Qing Lin, his expression harsh. "Qing Lin, since you refuse to be reasonable, I'll have no choice but to bring you back and confine you until you've married the young lord."

Hearing this, Mo Yu's expression darkened. Just as he prepared to summon his Fire Yao Puppet, a booming laugh echoed from the upper floor.

"Haha! I hope I'm not too late. My apologies for keeping you all waiting!"

The sudden voice broke the tense atmosphere, drawing everyone's gaze to the staircase.

Heavy footsteps echoed as an elderly man in a pale yellow robe descended the stairs. His face was ruddy, and his eyes glinted with intelligence.

Seeing the newcomer, Mo Yu paused, his eyes narrowing. "That must be Qi Shan, the chief alchemist of the Black Emperor Sect…" he murmured to himself.
