Chapter 757 Understanding Others
Elder Gui Gu continued to post, "It can be said that Lord Lin Tanyu was truly amazing, over a hundred cultivators from Heavenly Sect all died at his hands. 'Wait until autumn arrives on September the eighth, when my flowers bloom after the hundreds have withered, a fragrance will soar through Chang'an, the whole city clad in Golden Armor.'"
Elder Gui Gu's words, coupled with the photo of Lin Mo clad in golden War Armor, created a realm that sparked countless discussions in the forum.
Outside Star Sect, after Lin Mo slaughtered all the people from Heavenly Sect and cleaned up the battlefield, he then returned within Star Sect.
This time, Master Fu Jun led the people from Heavenly Sect to attack Star Sect, even endangering the lives of his closest kin, which thoroughly touched Lin Mo's bottom line. This slaughter was sufficient to deter the cultivators within Heavenly Sect.
But now that Qingzong and Qing Xuan had died at his hands and knowing that he had emerged, it could be assumed that the innate strong people of Heavenly Sect were already restless.
"If I could kill an Innate Strong Person, then even Heavenly Sect wouldn't dare to bother my parents again," Lin Mo clenched his fist, then slowly relaxed it, realizing that his strength was not yet sufficient.
Putting the thought aside, Lin Mo slowly walked into Star Sect.
"Sect Leader." Elder Cheng and two other elders had already welcomed him at the entrance.
Lin Mo nodded, "I thank you elders for protecting my family this time."
"Sect Leader, you are being too formal. As the Sect Leader of Star Sect, it is natural for us to protect you with all our might," Elder Cheng said with a bow.
Lin Mo nodded, "Elder Cheng, please check how many disciples are injured. I still have dozens of Elixirs here for you to use temporarily. If that's not enough, I'll refine more."
With that, Lin Mo took a wooden box out of his Space Ring, which contained the top Elixirs he had crafted in Immortal City.
Elder Cheng Ying opened the wooden box, and a dense fragrance wafted out, invigorating the spirit.
Elder Cheng, Dong Xiangyun, and Qiu Xingjian all wore expressions of surprise.
The Elixirs were all third-grade top Elixirs, rare even for Star Sect, and Lin Mo casually offered dozens of them. How could they not be astonished?
While Cheng Ying and others were soothing the Sect's disciples, Lin Mo brought Xia Mengdie, Yingzi, and Sima Zining back to the small courtyard established within Star Sect with his family.
Everyone gathered together as Lin Mo recounted everything that had happened in Immortal City, though for his mother's sake, he avoided mentioning his own coma and the dangerous encounter with the Space Storm.
Yang Chuxue didn't say much, but her eyes held a complex expression. She knew that Lin Mo didn't want her to worry, which is why he made such a dangerous event sound so casual.
"By the way, what do you feel like eating? I'll cook it for you tonight," Yang Chuxue shifted the topic.
"Uh, red-braised pork, I guess. It's been a long time since I've had mom's red-braised pork," Lin Mo said with a wide grin.
Lin Guang also chimed in, "Yeah, I'll help your mom in the kitchen and make you something delicious. You spend some time with Meng Die."
Lin Mo nodded and then took out a pill, "Dad, take this medicine. It's good for your health and can help heal your injuries."
"Alright." Lin Guang took the Elixir and headed to the kitchen with Yang Chuxue.
Lin Mo watched their figures, a faint smile appearing on his face.
Lin Shanshan and Lin Mei also asked about Lin Mo's experiences and then went back to their rooms.
Lin Mo headed toward another room, where Xia Mengdie and Su Mei were inside.
Su Mei was holding Xia Mengdie's small hand, her eyes brimming with glistening tears, "Meng Die, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. If it hadn't been for me, you wouldn't have suffered at the hands of the Miao Xue Divine Palace's people, and it wouldn't have led to such a long separation from Xiao Mo and so many misunderstandings."
"Mom, you can't blame yourself for these things, and wasn't I fine now? Moreover, not only have the misunderstandings with Xiao Mo been resolved, but I've also found you," Xia Mengdie said gently to console her.
"Mm, it's all good as long as it's in the past, at least we're reunited now," Su Mei said, unable to hold back her tears any longer.
Lin Mo stood at the doorway, watching the reunion of Su Mei and Xia Mengdie, his heart also genuinely happy. After all, Su Mei was his biological mother, and being able to reunite with her now was a happy occasion indeed.
Suddenly, Xia Mengdie spoke up, "Mom, will you go back?"
Su Mei naturally knew what she meant. Going back referred to returning to Imperial City, especially since Su Mei's husband was still there.
"Let bygones be bygones, let everyone think I'm dead. I just want to live a peaceful life now," Su Mei sighed.
"Mm, I understand," Xia Mengdie sighed sadly, yet her face was still filled with a happy smile. Although her family couldn't be together, just knowing about her mother's wellbeing was enough to make her happy.
As the two talked, they noticed Lin Mo standing outside the door.
"Xiao Mo, come in," Su Mei called out.
"Mm, Mom, Meng Die," Lin Mo entered the room.
"Xiao Mo, I owe you a lot for reuniting with Meng Die this time," Su Mei said with a smile.
"I just did what I should," Lin Mo said with a smile.
Xia Mengdie suddenly pulled Lin Mo out of the room, "I have something I want to talk to you about."
Lin Mo was puzzled. He had just come in, and now she was pulling him back out. Looking at Xia Mengdie's stunningly beautiful and aloof face, he asked, "What is it that's so secretive?"
Xia Mengdie gazed seriously into Lin Mo's eyes and softly said, "Miss Sima is still here. Don't stay with me, go see her."
"My relationship with Sima Zining is just friendship, I..." Lin Mo felt a bit embarrassed upon hearing Xia Mengdie's words.
Seeing the embarrassed expression on Lin Mo's face, Sima Zining suddenly chuckled, covering her mouth with her hand and then shaking her head, "I truly didn't expect, the great and famous Lin Tanyu, to show such an adorable expression."
Xia Mengdie said earnestly, "Don't worry, I'm not jealous. You are Lin Mo, Lin Tanyu, the number one martial artist. It's normal for many girls to like you. If I were to be jealous, I'd probably be soured to death sooner or later."
"What about you?" Lin Mo furrowed his brow, his face showing a hint of suspicion.
"But Miss Sima is different. In the time I wasn't around, it was she who cared for you, and furthermore, during the half-year you were in Immortal City, she's been eagerly waiting for you. Can't you see her feelings?" Xia Mengdie's eyes carried a hint of teasing.
"I can see it," Lin Mo frowned.
He was well aware of Sima Zining's feelings toward him.
"So, I plan to turn a blind eye. Go have a good chat with Miss Sima. I'll talk with my mom; you don't have to worry about me," Xia Mengdie said understandingly.
