Chapter 212 Meeting the City Lord Qian
"To be honest, Madam, I am actually a Taoist practitioner. I happened to see Weiwei today and noticed that her eyes were somewhat unusual, so I came here specifically to have a detailed discussion with you."

Xiao Mo spoke sincerely and without beating around the bush.

"Why is it another cultivator..."

Hearing Xiao Mo's words, Madam Wang turned her head slightly, bit her thin lips, and muttered to herself.

To be honest, she was actually not very willing to get involved with Taoist practitioners.

But judging from the young man's refined demeanor and handsome appearance, he didn't seem like a bad person at all. In fact, he was quite gentle and polite, and spoke with courtesy.

Moreover, if he truly harbored any ill intentions towards Weiwei, he would probably have already taken her away; why would he bother coming here to talk?

"In that case... please come in and speak with me, young master."

After some deliberation, Madam Wang finally invited Xiao Mo into the courtyard.

"Thank you, Madam. I'll take my leave now." Xiao Mo bowed again and walked steadily into the courtyard.

Ning Wei was about to close the door when Xiao Mo stopped her with a smile: "Weiwei, let the door stay open, so as not to cause any misunderstandings."

"Ok."

Ning Wei didn't really understand what misunderstanding might arise from closing the door, but she was still young and didn't think much of it, so she happily ran to the other side of the yard to feed the chicks.

Seeing Xiao Mo's actions, Madam Wang felt even more respect for this unfamiliar young man.

"We only have some coarse tea at home, please don't find it offensive, young master."

After inviting Xiao Mo to sit down in the courtyard, Madam Wang poured him a cup of tea.

"Madam, you're too kind." Xiao Mo accepted the teacup with both hands.

"Just now, the young master was talking about Weiwei's eyes..." Madam Wang asked with concern as she sat to the side.

"Is such that."

Xiao Mo gently put the teacup down.

"What Weiwei possesses is a kind of eye called 'Yin-Yang Eyes,' which allows her to see spirits and ghosts from birth. If she were to cultivate Yin-Yang related spells, she would also be extremely talented."

However, precisely because of her unusual eyes, she also faces certain dangers.

Once she cultivates to a certain level, her eyes will become a precious medicinal ingredient, attracting the covetous eyes of many cultivators.

My meeting with Weiwei today can be considered a kind of fate.

If you and Madam are willing, I can take you to settle down at the Blood Peak of the Myriad Paths Sect.

Weiwei can cultivate on Karma Peak, and Madam can also reside there permanently; there's no need to worry about her safety.

If the lady is unwilling, that is fine too.

I can also use a secret technique to temporarily seal Weiwei's Yin-Yang eyes.

In this way, most cultivators would find it difficult to notice the abnormality in her eyes.

Ultimately, it all depends on the wishes of Madam and Vivi.

After hearing Xiao Mo's words, Madam Wang frowned more and more, lowered her head, and her worry deepened.

"What's wrong, Madam? Do you still have doubts about what I just said?" Xiao Mo asked softly.

“No.” Madam Wang shook her head, her gaze shifting to Weiwei, who was feeding the chicks, her expression complex.

She looked away and turned to Xiao Mo, asking earnestly, "Young Master just said... that Weiwei's eyes might be used as a medicinal ingredient in the future?"

“That’s true.” Xiao Mo nodded.

Madam Wang unconsciously gripped the hem of her skirt with both hands, her brows furrowed, and she murmured, "How could this happen..."

"Just now, I overheard Madam's conversation with a relative outside the courtyard gate," Xiao Mo asked gently. "Is Madam's concern related to the Wangchuan Sect?"

Madam Wang did not answer immediately, but instead gently bit her thin lips once more. Xiao Mo did not urge her, but simply waited quietly for her response.

After a long while, Madam Wang finally sighed, her eyes filled with sorrow: "Young Master's guess is correct. What I am worried about is indeed the Wangchuan Sect."

"To be honest, young master, our Maple Leaf City was not originally under the jurisdiction of the Forgotten River Sect, but was an independent city."

The former city lord was kind and benevolent to his people.

However, just half a month ago, the old city lord suddenly disappeared, and the Wangchuan Sect took the opportunity to take over Maple Leaf City and sent a cultivator named Qian Zhenhao to serve as the new city lord.

Unfortunately, for some reason, Lord Qian found out about my daughter.

The Wangchuan Sect sent people before, wanting my daughter to go up the mountain to cultivate.

But the reputation of the Wangchuan Sect... is really not good.

Even I, a common woman, know it's a demonic sect.

At this point, Madam Wang pursed her lips even tighter, and her voice was filled with suppressed emotion.

"After I politely declined, I thought I would be retaliated against. To my surprise, they not only did not make things difficult for my daughter and me, but also sent us a lot of money and valuables."

Even so, I refused the money and gifts, but still wouldn't agree.

They then sent my brother-in-law to come and try to persuade them every now and then.

However, recently, the city lord Qian seems to be losing patience.

After hearing what you just said, I'm even more worried...

If what you say is true, young master, that they didn't directly abduct Weiwei, but instead gradually persuaded us to agree.

The real purpose is probably to get Weiwei to enter the Wangchuan Sect for cultivation...

Once she reaches a certain level of cultivation, Weiwei will probably…

As she spoke, Madam Wang's face gradually turned pale, and she dared not think any further.

Silence fell between Xiao Mo and Madam Wang once again.

After a long while, Madam Wang slowly raised her head, her gaze solemn and earnest, and asked softly, "Young Master... are you really sure you will take good care of Weiwei?"

Rather than watching helplessly as her daughter was used as a medicinal pill by the Wangchuan Sect.

Madam Wang thought it best to take a gamble and entrust Weiwei to this distinguished young man.

"It won't be me personally taking care of her. I still need to travel around and won't stay in the sect for long. But my junior sister is a reliable person, and Madam will also be at Yexue Peak, so please rest assured."

Xiao Mo spoke frankly, then paused briefly before adding solemnly.

"In addition, there is something I must explain to you, Madam—the Wandao Sect, where I belong, is also a demonic sect, but the various halls and peaks within the sect are relatively independent, each with its own responsibilities, and the rules are not the same."

However, if Weiwei joins the Myriad Paths Sect, we will never force her to practice evil arts, much less allow her to commit demonic acts.

Please rest assured, Madam.

Madam Wang remained silent for a moment, her expression complex, unsure how to respond.

She never imagined that such a handsome young man was actually from the Demonic Sect.
Xiao Mo knew what Madam Wang was thinking, so he smiled and said, "Madam, there's no need to rush into a decision. You can think about it carefully these days. As for the Wangchuan Sect, I will also help with that."

"This...this is too much trouble for you, young master..." Madam Wang looked ashamed.

"It's alright."

Xiao Mo shook his head slightly, then turned his gaze towards the City Lord's Mansion, his tone calm but with a hint of sternness.

“Perfect timing, I also wish to meet that Lord Qian.”
