19. The host greets the guest warmly

  "Alright, lets hit the road after we finish eating."

  Two dry rice balls were thrown in front of her, Mo Tian Ge looked up and caught them in her hand.

  They were in a desolate place, having left the city for a day. On the way, they encountered two monks fighting with each other. Li Yushan was so scared that he hurriedly shouted at the coachman to speed up. Half a day passed, and no one caught up from behind, finally putting his mind at ease.

  The steamed bun was dry and tasteless, Mo Tian Ge took two bites but couldnt swallow it. She looked up to see Li Yu Shan eating not only the same dry steamed bun, but also roasted chicken slices and beef dishes. At this time, Li Yu Shan noticed her gaze, picked up a piece of chicken and asked: "Want some?"

  Mo Tian Ge shook his head and said: "I want a drink of water."

  This was the first time she had spoken in days. Li Yushan was both surprised and annoyed at the same time. He couldnt believe that such a big kid wouldnt want to eat something delicious, it must be that she didnt want to ask him. And this also meant that although this little girl was young, her bones were very hard, making it difficult for her to listen obediently.

  He came back to himself and saw Mo Tian Ge looking like he didnt want to give him water, so he sat there alone slowly gnawing on a dry rice cake.

  Although he was very annoyed, he didnt really want her to die of thirst. He pulled out a water bag from his bundle and tossed it over, saying: "This is yours; if you finish it, pay attention to bringing your own water next time."

  The strangers song came to an end, and he responded with a low "en".

  After a while, the carter who was feeding his horse nearby came over and respectfully asked Li Yushan: "Immortal Master, where will we stay tonight?"

  Li Yushan merely flickered his eyelids: "Continue on the road tonight and rest again at dawn."

  "This...," the carman was clearly unwilling, but did not dare to offend him, and said with a bow, "Immortal Master, its late at night, I cant see, its not good to rush on the road."

  Li Yushan didnt even raise an eyebrow this time, and simply tossed over a white stone: "Take good care of it, this one can emit light."

  The driver nodded repeatedly.

  Mogentian raised her head and took a look, although she was curious in her heart, but didnt say anything. The cultivation world was still an unfamiliar world to her, everything made her curious.

  "Alright, lets go." After finishing their meal, Li Yushan patted his hands and was about to grab Mo Tian Ge back to the horse carriage, muttering to himself, "What a pity that I still dont know how to use the Lightweight Technique, otherwise we wouldnt need a horse carriage."

  What is Light Body Technique, Mo Tian Ge roughly knows a thing or two. Its a magic that can fly and float in mid-air, those two Dou Fa cultivators they met halfway used the Light Body Technique. However, it can only be cultivated at Refining Qi 5th layer, so Li Yu Shan could only rely on mundane tools to get to Kun Wu.

  Just as they were about to set off, a streak of green light suddenly flashed across the sky, carrying with it a thick aura and an air of majesty. Li Yushan suddenly got out of the carriage again, staring at the fleeting green light, unable to speak for a moment. It wasnt until the light disappeared into the horizon that he let out a breath: "Its actually a Foundation Establishment cultivator... how could they possibly be in the mortal world..." He pondered for a long time, but ultimately didnt dare try to take advantage of the situation again. After all, to these low-ranking minor cultivators, Foundation Establishment cultivators were truly beings on a completely different level.

  The ordinary carriage carrying two Qi-refining minor cultivators rattled along the road, while that Foundation Establishment cultivator who had flashed by didnt even put these low-ranking cultivators in his eyes. Before long, he arrived at Lian City, asked for directions, and then headed straight towards a small village in the direction of Fei Yun Town.

  Mò Tiān Gē didnt know that two days after she went missing, a monk came to Mò Jiā Village where she had lived for ten years.

  The Mo familys ancestral home, the young masters of the Mo family rarely gathered in the hall, while Old Master Mo sat in the main seat, frowning and puffing on his dry pipe.

  After a long while, the old man finally put down his pipe and asked Da Shao Ye: "Old Big Brother, what do you say?"

  The young master also furrowed his brow and asked uncertainly: "Father, shouldnt we look for him?"

  As soon as the words fell, someone on the side hummed indifferently: "How to find? The person has been kidnapped for two days. Even if we knew he was kidnapped, where would we look? Besides, whos going to look?"

  Even the young master was speechless at this point.

  The day Tian Ge was taken away, Tian Qiao saw that she hadnt returned by nightfall and anxiously told everyone about her trip to town. It wasnt good to go looking for people at midnight, and even the next day there was no news. Old Man Tian had no choice but to ask his eldest son to go to town and ask around. The result of asking around was that only one thing was certain: yesterday a girl had been taken away by a man from a tea stall at the town gate, and based on the description it seemed like it might be Tian Ge, but as for where she went, no one knew.

  As soon as it was confirmed that the child had been kidnapped, Old Master An summoned all his sons to discuss what to do. Although they were not close to the child, after all, he was a member of their family and couldnt be ignored. However, several young masters thought that if they were to search for him, first, they didnt know where the child had been taken, and second, it was during the spring plowing season, whoever went would reduce the labor force, which would lead to reduced harvests. Therefore, although they did not object to searching, none of them wanted to go themselves.

  What was said earlier makes sense. When someone is kidnapped, they are usually taken to another place immediately, so its not that easy to find them.

  The old man understood that it wasnt the first time a child had been kidnapped in the village, and every time they searched but couldnt find the child. However, not searching was also unacceptable, after all, she was his granddaughter. Moreover, the son-in-law he had taken in back then was no ordinary person, if he were to come back one day, how would they explain it? But if they were to search for her, who should go and find her?

  His eyebrows were furrowed into a river character, and the old mans gaze swept back and forth among his sons. The young masters looked at each other, then lowered their heads, afraid that they would be called upon.

  The old man hadnt made up his mind yet when He Bo rushed in from outside: "Old master, a guest has arrived."

  Before anyone in the house had time to ask, someone had already stepped into the hall.

  The newcomer was a young man in his early twenties, wearing a blue robe and white jacket, with a long sword on his back. Without even looking closely, he already had an aura that was intimidating.

  The old man saw the others sword-bearing appearance and hastily stood up: "May I ask this young master..."

  "Are you the village head?"

  The old man hastily nodded and saw that the other party was dressed in fine clothes with a long sword on his back, knowing that this must be a high-ranking swordsman. He asked respectfully: "May I ask who you are?"

  The young man with a sword did not answer, and continued to ask: "I asked you, do you have a daughter who married a son-in-law surnamed Ye?"

  As soon as the words were spoken, not only the old man, but also several people in the hall showed a look of surprise. They certainly knew who was being talked about, but their brother-in-law had been gone for ten years without any news, what relationship did he have with this person?

  The old man quickly regained his composure and replied, "Yes, but my son-in-law had something to attend to ten years ago and never came back." After speaking, he also felt a bit uneasy in his heart. He knew that his son-in-law had some background, and was afraid that the young man in front of him was here seeking revenge.

  Who would have thought that after he finished speaking, the young man in front of him would smile and bow his head to the old man. Since he came in, facing the crowd in the hall, not only did he not greet them, but also didnt ask about their well-being, yet they didnt feel any disrespect, only feeling that this person must be extraordinary. Now with this bow, the old man felt a bit more at ease, it seemed he wasnt here to seek revenge.

  The young man said: "Village elder Ye, I also have the surname Ye. I was entrusted by your son-in-law to come and pick up his wife and daughter. Do you know where they are?"

  As soon as this was said, the old man was slightly frightened. He had just been thinking that his granddaughter had run away and her father would not be able to explain it when he returned. How could someone come looking for her so quickly? After some thought, the old man cautiously asked: "So its Young Master Ye, I wonder where my son-in-law is now? Why didnt he return together?"

  The young mans smile disappeared, and he sighed: "Village Chief Mo, Ill tell you the truth. Senior Ye has passed away. My master and Senior Ye were close friends who went through thick and thin together. Before his death, Senior Ye entrusted my master with his wife and daughter, asking him to hand them over to his brother. Ive come here on my masters orders."

  This news left everyone in the hall astonished. The person had been gone for ten years without returning, and they had long suspected that something unexpected might have happened to him. Now that they knew he was dead, they were somewhat prepared psychologically. However, when this person said he had come to take someone away, and would actually be taking them with him, they found it strange.

  The old man also asked: "Ye Gongzi, my son-in-law is a maternal uncle, and my daughter and granddaughter are naturally my relatives. Why would I mention taking them away?"

  The young man laughed again, with a hint of pride in his laughter: "Stay here? Village Chief Mo, dont you know that your son-in-law is no ordinary person?"

  This news shocked everyone even more.

  Several young masters from the Mo family looked shocked, and someone couldnt help but interrupt and ask: "If its not a mortal, what is it?"

  "Of course its an immortal." The young man glanced at him, "Ye senior has the method of immortality, dont you know?"

  Everyone shook their heads in unison. But then the young man raised his hand, and suddenly a flame appeared in it. With a flick of his wrist, the long sword behind him suddenly flew out on its own, stabbed at the flame, extinguished it, and then flew back into its scabbard.

  The young man said: "Do you believe it now?"

  In the mortal world, many legends of immortals have been passed down. Now that they see such magical powers with their own eyes, how can they not believe? Each and every one of them has a look of reverence on their face.

  The old man had long felt that his son-in-law was not ordinary, but he didnt believe it. Suddenly, he thought of something else - his granddaughter had been kidnapped, and if this young master was indeed an immortal, wouldnt it be easy to find her? Thinking of this, Old Man Mo hastily said: "Master Ye, we believe you now. However, my daughters fate is thin, she passed away three years ago due to illness, and my granddaughter was kidnapped by a kidnapper two days ago. You have magical powers, please rescue her for us!"

  The young man was taken aback, then let out a sigh: "When Elder Ye entrusted me, I also wondered if Lady Ye had already passed away. Never mind, tell me, whats going on with your granddaughter?"

  The old man repeated what his son had told him about the incident, and then added: "Young master, you see..."

  The young man simply waved his hand: "Ill go first." Without saying much more, he turned around and left, leaving the people in the house in shock and uncertainty.
