We said we would experience life, fairy, how did you become real?.

Chapter 213 He kept shedding tears of blood as he looked at Brother Xiao.
Xiao Mo stayed at Weiwei's house.

Xiao Mo originally did not want to stay at Madam Wang's house.

After all, she was a widow, and it was indeed a bit inappropriate for a man like me to live in her house.

But upon hearing Xiao Mo's refusal, Madam Wang simply smiled and said:

"Since my husband passed away, I have heard countless rumors and gossip. Even if I do nothing, people will still point fingers at me behind my back. I've gotten used to it."

However, those who know will know.

"As long as my conscience is clear, that's enough."

Hearing Madam Wang's words and seeing her so composed, Xiao Mo naturally stopped being coy and settled down in the courtyard to wait for the cultivators from Maple Leaf City to arrive.

During the two days that Xiao Mo stayed at Madam Wang's courtyard, he spent every day meditating and comprehending the sword in the courtyard.

Because Madam Wang refused the money Xiao Mo offered, Xiao Mo would also help Madam Wang chop wood and fetch water.

Sometimes, Xiao Mo would even teach Ning Wei to read.

In the past two days, Madam Ning has been paying close attention to Xiao Mo's every move, wanting to understand his personality better.

In the end, Madam Wang still felt that this young master did not seem to be a member of the Demonic Sect, but rather a scholar.

The third day, early morning.

Just as Xiao Mo and Madam Wang and her daughter finished breakfast, they heard voices coming from outside the courtyard.

"Lord Qian, please don't be angry. My sister-in-law is all talk and no action. If I say it a few more times, she will definitely agree to let Ning Wei enter your sect."

"After all, that's the Wangchuan Sect, a place that countless people dream of going to."

"Don't worry, I'm just having a good talk with Madam Wang. I won't do anything to them."

"That's right, that's right. You are a magnanimous person and won't hold a grudge against us poor folks."

In the course of their conversation, the group reached the courtyard gate.

Ning Fugui pushed open the courtyard gate, and everyone entered the courtyard.

Ning Wei, with her small frame startled, instinctively hid behind Brother Xiao.

"Wang Qian, the city lord has arrived! Aren't you going to come and pay your respects?" Wang Fugui shouted at his sister-in-law.

Madam Wang, holding her small hands, stepped forward and bowed gracefully to the group, saying, "This humble servant greets the City Lord."

"Madam Wang, you're too kind." Qian Zhenhao smiled. "I've long heard of Madam Wang's outstanding beauty, and seeing you today, I can confirm that the reputation is well-deserved."

"You flatter me, Lord City Lord. I am but a country bumpkin with no beauty whatsoever," Wang Qian said, nodding.

"Huh?" Soon, Wang Fugui saw Xiao Mo and asked in surprise, "Why are you still here?"

Qian Zhenhao also looked over and found a man staring at him.

As Qian Zhenhao looked at the man, the more he looked, the more familiar he felt.

When Qian Zhenhao saw the faint scar between Xiao Mo's eyebrows, he was even more stunned.

When we were kids, my brothers and I once stole steamed buns to eat, and we were chased and beaten. My fifth brother even got a cut on his eyebrow.

"Fifth brother? Is that you?" Qian Zhenhao was overjoyed, as if he had seen a family member.

"Fourth brother?"

However, compared to Qian Zhenhao's excited expression, Xiao Mo seemed much calmer.

"Hahahaha. Fifth Brother, it really is you!" Qian Zhenhao stepped forward and grabbed Xiao Mo's wrist. "I never expected that we brothers would meet here after eight years!"

"I really didn't expect that." Xiao Mo smiled, but a hint of melancholy flashed in his eyes. "When I first heard that the name of the Maple Leaf City Lord was the same as that of my fourth brother, I guessed that it might be my fourth brother. I didn't expect it to be true. Didn't you go to the Black Dragon Sect, fourth brother?"

"It's a long story."

Qian Zhenhao smiled wryly.

"We did find the Black Dragon Sect at the time, and then participated in the Black Dragon Sect's entrance selection. However, your third brother and I did not pass. Fortunately, the Wangchuan Sect took us in."

"What about Third Brother?" Xiao Mo asked again.

“Sigh, once, your third brother went out to hunt magical beasts, but an accident happened, and he never came back.” Qian Zhenhao said with a bitter expression and a low voice, “It’s all my fault. If I had persuaded him back then, he wouldn’t have had this accident.”

Hearing Qian Zhenhao's words, Xiao Mo's calm face revealed true sorrow, but he still comforted Qian Zhenhao: "Fourth Brother, there is no need to blame yourself. The path of cultivation is like this. I believe Third Brother will not blame you either."

"That's right, we should definitely keep moving forward and carry on with Third Brother's legacy!"

Qian Zhenhao took a deep breath and composed himself.

"Enough about me. How has Fifth Brother been all these years? I never imagined he would become a Foundation Establishment cultivator."

"After you left, Fourth Brother, I also met a cultivator who took me as her disciple, which means I've embarked on the path of cultivation. However, I'm not as good as Fourth Brother. Your aura now seems to be at the Cave Abode stage, right?" "Hahahaha, just the mid-stage of the Cave Abode stage. Good luck, good luck." Qian Zhenhao looked very proud. "But why did Fifth Brother come to Maple Leaf City and stay here?"

"I am just a wandering cultivator. It happened to be dark then, and Madam Wang allowed me to stay for a few days, so I did. But Fourth Brother..."

Xiao Mo looked directly into Qian Zhenhao's eyes.

“I heard from Madam Wang that the Wangchuan Sect has always wanted to take Ningwei to cultivate, but Madam Wang only wants to live an ordinary life with her daughter. I wonder if Fourth Brother could make an exception and not make things difficult for them.”

"Fifth Brother, what are you saying?"

Qian Zhenhao glanced at the little girl behind Xiao Mo.

"Actually, our Wangchuan Sect has no ill intentions towards the mother and daughter. Our Wangchuan Sect is a legitimate sect. The rumors outside that our Wangchuan Sect is a demonic sect are all nonsense."

We sent Ning Wei to the Wangchuan Sect because we didn't want to bury such a promising talent.

We came here simply to have a proper talk with Madam Wang about this matter; we have no other intentions.

"But this kid has no manners; he pushed the door open before I could knock, disturbing you."

After saying that, Qian Zhenhao looked at Ning Fugui beside him and said, "Aren't you going to apologize to my fifth brother?"

"I deserve to die. I have disturbed you, young master. Please forgive me." Ning Fugui hurriedly bowed, almost kneeling down.

He never imagined that this man would be the city lord's younger brother.

“Thank you very much for your kindness, Lord City Lord.” At this moment, Madam Wang continued, “However, Lord City Lord, Weiwei does not want to be a cultivator. We are already content with our current life, so please forgive us.”

"Alright then." Qian Zhenhao sighed regretfully, "Since that's the case, I won't say anything more. If you change your mind, just come to the City Lord's Mansion anytime."

"Thank you, Lord City Lord! Thank you, Lord City Lord!" Madam Wang quickly bowed and expressed her gratitude.

"It's nothing." Qian Zhenhao seemed to be in a very good mood. "Fifth brother, you don't need to stay here anymore. How about you come and stay at my city lord's mansion? We brothers can have a good chat."

"Alright." Xiao Mo nodded. "Fourth Brother, let me pack my things and then say goodbye to Madam Wang."

"Alright, then I'll go to Yunliu Tower to prepare the banquet first and wait for you, Fifth Brother."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qian Zhenhao strode happily out of the courtyard.

"Young Master Xiao, who are you and City Lord Qian?"

Just as the crowd had walked away and disappeared into the street, Madam Wang hurriedly stepped forward, her eyes full of doubt.

It sounds like they are brothers who have been separated for many years?

However, when Young Master Xiao introduced his recent situation, he said that he was a rogue cultivator, which seemed to be a deliberate concealment.

"Madam, there's no need to worry."

Seeing Madam Wang's puzzled expression, Xiao Mo knew she was thinking about something.

"This Lord Qian is indeed my sworn brother who I lost contact with many years ago, but this has nothing to do with my wife."

Regardless, Ning Wei no longer needs to go to the Wangchuan Sect, and what I said to Madam before still stands.

"I hope you will consider this carefully, Madam. I will come again in a few days to inquire about your decision."

"Yes, young master, I will consider it carefully." Madam Wang bowed slightly.

"Then I'll take my leave now." Xiao Mo bowed and patted Ning Wei's head. "Don't worry, big brother won't let anything happen to Maple Leaf City."

"Mmm." Ning Wei nodded, her face pale.

Xiao Mo turned and left.

Ning Wei watched Xiao Mo's retreating figure, her expression seemingly conflicted.

As soon as Xiao Mo stepped out of the courtyard gate, Ning Wei seemed to have made up her mind. She quickly ran forward and gently tugged at Xiao Mo's sleeve: "Brother Xiao."

"What's wrong?" Xiao Mo turned around.

"Brother Xiao"

Ning Wei bit her thin lips tightly, looking somewhat nervous, and whispered in Xiao Mo's ear.

“I just saw a spirit, who looked to be only thirteen or fourteen years old. He had a mole at the corner of his eye and a long scar on his face. He was constantly shedding bloody tears and looking at you, Brother Xiao.”

Xiao Mo frowned and quickly drew a human figure on the ground: "Is this what it looks like?"

"Yes, Brother Xiao."

Ning Wei nodded repeatedly.

“It is exactly the same as the one you painted, Brother Xiao.”
