Mortal: I can unlock the card pool by becoming an apprentice to him.

Chapter 23 Crossover

Half an hour later, the news that Liu Feng, the leader of Changfeng Sect, had his skull smashed by a single blow in a casino spread like wildfire throughout the streets and alleys of Quling City.

Some busybodies claimed to have witnessed Liu Feng cheating on the spot and being exposed, which led to a dispute between the two parties.

Some people also claim that this was the work of the "Ruyi Society," the sworn enemy of the Changfeng Sect.

For a time, the entire city of Quling was filled with unease and undercurrents.

When Lin Mo returned to the mansion, it was already late at night.

"Young Master, the Third Madam instructed that you must visit her courtyard after you return, as there is important matter to discuss."

After recognizing the person who had entered, the gatekeeper spoke respectfully.

"It's so late, Master's wife is probably already asleep. Let's go tomorrow."

Lin Mo looked up and saw that the moonlight was sparse and the night was deep.

So he decided to go back to his room to wash up first, and then change into clean clothes the next day before reporting to his third master's wife.

It's just unknown what Doctor Mo obtained from that cultivator.

Storage bag? Or a magical artifact?

Lin Mo pondered to himself as he walked.

It's funny, really. As a cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Refining, I don't even have a storage bag. It's really embarrassing to say that out loud.

When they reached a detached two-story building, Lin Mo stopped.

This is where Third Master's wife lives.

Inside the small building, a faint, yellow candle flame could be seen flickering through the carved wooden window.

Is my master's wife still awake at this hour? Could she be waiting for me?

Lin Mo's heart skipped a beat, and he walked forward and knocked on the door as if possessed.

"Who is it?"

A soft, slightly hoarse voice came from inside the door. After Lin Mo responded in a low voice, a series of light footsteps approached.

Then, the wooden door was pulled open halfway from the inside.

Lin Mo looked around, then vanished through the doorway in a flash.

Inside the room, Liu was wearing a light, plain-colored nightgown, her long hair loosely tied back, with only a few strands hanging over her shoulders.

That face, so alluring it could captivate a nation with just one glance, now flushed a rosy hue. Her moist eyes shimmered in the dim candlelight, gazing at Lin Mo with anticipation.

"I didn't expect you to be back so quickly. Was it resolved?"

Her skirt reached just above her thighs, her snow-white legs appearing and disappearing beneath the thin fabric, full and slender. Her jade-like feet, nestled in embroidered shoes, revealed only a sliver of her delicate, porcelain-like ankles.

Although it wasn't the first time he'd seen such a scene, Lin Mo couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

He had previously met Mo Yuzhu, Mo Fengwu, and Mo Caihuan within the manor. Each of them possessed a unique charm and was stunningly beautiful, truly rare beauties in the world. However, compared to the young woman before him, they lacked the gentle grace and allure that comes with experience in the world.

"Resolved."

Lin Mo composed himself, suppressing the inexplicable restlessness in his heart, and replied in a deep voice.

After saying that, he took out a palm-sized bronze token from his pocket and handed it to the other party.

The token was taken from Liu Feng's waist. It had the words "Changfeng" printed on both sides, so it must be some kind of token.

After receiving the token, Liu pursed her red lips, feeling somewhat dazed.

Although he knew that ordinary martial artists were no match for cultivators, he finally felt relieved when he heard with his own ears that the matter was settled and the inner demon that had weighed on his heart for many years was removed.

Her smile, which blossomed in an instant, was like a blooming flower, even more captivating in the dim candlelight.

"Master's wife, where in the manor is that secret vault located? How many people guard it?"

Lin Mo looked around. The room was simply and elegantly furnished. A jade-colored screen stood to one side, and a pear wood square table was placed in front of the screen.

On the table sat only a pot of sake and a white jade cup, the atmosphere cool and lonely.

Drinking alone late at night, this Third Master's wife clearly has another story to tell.

"My dear disciple, what's your hurry? Is this some kind of dangerous place that makes you afraid to stay? You keep talking about secrets, just like your dead master."

Her tone carried a hint of reproach, yet also the same fiery and straightforward manner she displayed when they first met.

The candlelight illuminated the rosy cheeks of her face, adding a touch of vibrant allure.

"Master's wife has misunderstood. This disciple was only afraid that it would cause misunderstandings in the dead of night."

Lin Mo spoke calmly.

"Misunderstanding? If you were truly afraid of misunderstandings, you wouldn't have come here alone in the dead of night. Besides, how could the rules of the mortal world possibly restrain a cultivator like you?"

Liu chuckled softly and gracefully moved to the corner of the table. She poured a cup of clear wine with her jade-like hands and handed it to Lin Mo.

"You helped your master's wife get rid of that person, and she will remember your kindness for the rest of her life. If you are willing, drink this cup and your master's wife will personally take you to the secret vault."

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo frowned.

It wasn't that he disliked the wine glass because it had been used by Liu, but rather that Lin Mo had always disliked being pressured to drink.

Oh well, it's just a cup of sake anyway.

He reached out and took it, then downed it in one gulp.

"Master's wife, take me to that secret place now..."

Before he could finish speaking, a fragrant breeze suddenly wafted into his nostrils. The rich aroma of sake mingled with the sweet scent of perfume from the woman's temples, arriving unexpectedly.

Immediately afterwards, her soft, warm body pressed directly against my chest.

The person in his arms was soft and warm, her slender waist trembling slightly in his palm. When she raised her devastatingly beautiful face, her eyes were misty with tears, and a few stray hairs clung to her rosy cheeks, giving her an unknowingly charming and alluring air.

"I'm afraid we won't be able to go to that secret vault today."

Lin Mo sighed. He was in the prime of his life, so why wouldn't he take advantage of a freebie that was offered to him?

He immediately tightened his grip, turned, and headed towards the second floor...

......

What is the meaning of life?

Lin Mo got up and straightened his clothes by the bedside, his face showing a hint of laziness and indifference.

After a long while, he exhaled a breath of stale air.

He glanced out the window and, seeing that dawn had not yet broken, pulled the blanket over the perfect body that could almost be described as a work of art, moving gently so as not to disturb the sound sleep of the person on the bed.

After doing all this, he quietly left the room.

Hearing that there was no more noise, Liu, who had been fast asleep, subconsciously opened her eyes.

In those moist eyes, besides a hint of intoxication and haziness, there was also a touch of satisfaction.

"He's still just a teenager... his skills and strength..."

She slowly sat up, rubbing her aching calves. As if remembering something, her smile deepened, her fingertips brushing against the lingering warmth of the couch, a sly yet alluring curve appearing at the corner of her lips...

.......

"Liu Er, you keep an eye on things for now, I'm going to take a break."

Outside the courtyard wall, a burly, dark-skinned man couldn't help but yawn. He rubbed his eyes and spoke to his companion beside him.

"I know, you can go."

The tall, thin man known as Liu Er leaned against the wall, nodding his head and muttering to himself.

"Hurry up and come back quickly, it's almost dawn, don't dawdle..."

"Know."

The burly, dark-skinned man waved his hand and moved unsteadily into the shadows.

A sudden gust of cold wind swept past.

"Who?"

The man seemed to vaguely see a dark shadow flash by in the wind, and he instantly straightened up, all his drowsiness vanishing.

Apart from the sound of the wind and his companion's snoring, there was nothing unusual around him.
