I'm a villain in the movies and TV series "All Heavens".

Chapter 120 Kumārajīva's Aptitude

"The way you're talking makes it sound like you haven't had enough fun yet."

But Mo Fei was too lazy to argue with him anymore. Instead, he went directly to the boulder where Tong Lao was lying, checked her over, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that her vital signs were still stable.

"Go to Yanziwu and bring Kumārajīva out of the dungeon for me. Take him to Juxianzhuang. I will come to meet you in a while."

To prevent Li Qiushui from disobeying, Mo Fei specifically warned her:

"You probably know the effects of the Life and Death Talisman. Like the Leopard Embryo Tendon-Changing Pill, it will take effect once a year. Just do my job obediently, and I will give you the antidote on time. Don't think about having any crooked ideas."

These two are like oil and water, so it's best not to let them meet for the time being. After Li Qiushui left to carry out her orders, Mo Fei then began to treat Tong Lao.

At this moment, Tong Lao's face was covered in bruises, clearly indicating that she had suffered a great loss at Li Qiushui's hands.

After Mo Fei used his Qi to release her from her sleeping acupoints, the Tong Lao, once awake, immediately stood up and unleashed several Life and Death Talismans.

After Mo Fei hurriedly got up and dodged the shout, Tong Lao, who had already rushed to the cave entrance, realized that the person in front of her was Mo Fei.

"You brat, it's you! Wasn't Li Qiushui interrogating you in your room? Why did she suddenly escape? Did you conspire with that bitch?"

After hearing the old woman's guess, Mo Fei immediately replied with a wronged expression:

"Grandma, if I were in cahoots with Li Qiushui, do you think you'd still be alive to doubt me?"

Fearing that the old woman wouldn't believe him, Mo Fei continued to explain:

"I don't know what strange technique Li Qiushui used. When I interrogated her, I used a little too much force, and she suddenly stopped breathing. As a result, I was careless and she took the opportunity to escape."

The old woman was knowledgeable and experienced. After hearing Mo Fei's explanation, she assumed that Mo Fei had truly been deceived by Li Qiushui's Turtle Breathing Technique.

Although some doubts remained, she was now at a disadvantage, so she had no choice but to give up.

"Boy, when you first came to rescue me, did you fight that bitch?"

"Li Qiushui ran faster than a rabbit when she saw me. I was worried about your safety, Grandma, and I didn't notice her in time, so she escaped."

"But I have saved you twice, Grandma. You won't break your promise about the cultivation technique you gave me, right? I want to learn your Eight Desolations and Six Harmonies Supreme Technique."

Upon hearing Mo Fei's words, Tong Lao, who was silently circulating her internal energy to dispel the bruises on her face, suddenly turned around and stared directly at Mo Fei.

She was about to refuse, but when she saw Mo Fei's smiling, expectant expression, her inexplicable sixth sense ultimately prevented her from uttering a word of refusal.

He could only console himself that this kid had saved him twice, and given his ruthless methods against the people of the Thirty-Six Caves and Seventy-Two Islands, if he refused, he might not be able to leave this cave.

Ultimately, the old woman, who chose to follow her heart, explained the cultivation method of the "Eight Desolations and Six Harmonies, I Alone Am Supreme" technique to Mo Fei.

She initially held back, but after Mo Fei watched the system's progress bar and occasionally offered a few reminders...

With a look of shock and astonishment, the old woman dared not hold back any longer and recounted the entire manual in its entirety.

"Very well, let's leave the matter of the cultivation method here, but there is something else I would like to discuss with you."

Having exhausted all his energy, Mo Fei had no more scruples and directly made his final request to Tong Lao.

"I want to be the Palace Master of Lingjiu Palace. I wonder if you, Grandma, would be willing to step down and let me, the leader of the Xiaoyao Sect, take over the reins of Lingjiu Palace?"

Seeing Mo Fei's confident and fearless demeanor, Tong Lao knew that she had completely lost.

At this point, how could she not see that all of this was the young man's scheme, and that they had all become pawns manipulated by him? As Tong Lao reluctantly swallowed the Leopard Embryo Tendon-Changing Pill and returned to Lingjiu Palace with him, announcing her resignation as Palace Master and the appointment of Mo Fei as the new head, the Three Carefree Elders of Tianlong were now a thing of the past.

The price he paid was not small; he would have to make Tong Lao slap Li Qiushui back across the face next time.

After serving as the palace master in Lingjiu Palace for a while, enjoying a blissful life of teasing his cousin during the day and flirting with his maids at night, he finally found happiness.

Could it be that they're taking the now-recovered Tong Lao, along with Duan Yu and Xu Zhu—the two catalysts for their adventures—to Juxian Manor?

Several days later, when Mo Fei and his party arrived at Juxian Manor, Li Qiushui and Kumārajīva had been waiting there for many days.

"Master, it's been a long time. You still look as dashing as ever."

Looking at Kumārajīva, whose face was bruised and swollen for some unknown reason, Mo Fei couldn't help but exchange a joking greeting.

After his eyes twitched for a while, Kumārajīva awkwardly bowed under Li Qiushui's cold gaze.

"System! Check Kumārajīva's qualifications."

After dealing with the two elders, the system unlocked a new function: scanning and detecting other people's qualifications, awarding one comeback point per scan.

Kumārajīva looked at Mo Fei, who was staring at him with curiosity, and felt as if his body had been suddenly seen through, causing him to shiver inexplicably.

"Ding! Test complete."

Subject of testing: Tianlong Kumārajīva

Strength: A-

Growth potential: A+

Final assessment: This person has some potential and is worth the host's investment of resources to cultivate, but their loyalty is questionable and they may betray the host at any time.

Wow! This is so user-friendly?

It seems that the system, once fully integrated, has indeed become much more powerful, even capable of assessing a person's inner emotions.

It seems I had a good eye; Kumārajīva's potential for growth is indeed impressive. As long as I resolve the issue of his loyalty, he will surely become a great general in my hands.

And this is precisely what Mo Fei excels at, with the double insurance of Leopard Fetus Tendon-Changing Pill and Life-and-Death Talisman.

As long as you don't push them too hard and make them think they'd rather die than follow you, you don't need to worry about betrayal at all.

"Master, come here for a moment. I have a pill and a little something I'd like to show you to deepen the trust between us. Remember, don't resist."

As the Life and Death Talisman was activated, Kumārajīva underwent a half-hour-long baptism of intense pain and itch that reached his very soul. His loyalty rating on the system panel had now reached the required level.

When Mo Fei arrived at the inn where Qiao Feng was recuperating, the innkeeper quickly handed him a long letter, which was left by Qiao Feng, the person Mo Fei was visiting.

In his letter, Qiao Feng informed Mo Fei that he had recovered from his injuries and was extremely grateful for Mo Fei's help.

After waiting for him at the inn for a while, and seeing that he had not returned for a long time, he was anxious to find the villain and had no choice but to leave the bookstore waiter behind and once again embark on the road to find his enemy.

"You wicked man! Looks like I'll have to make a trip to Shaolin Temple."
