Fellow Daoist, I gladly accept this heaven-defying opportunity.
Chapter 47 A Fluttering Heart
After putting away his spoils, Xu Mofeng turned around and walked up to Wu Zini, about to tell her to come with him.
Wu Zini stared intently at his face, her eyes glazed over, her cheeks flushed, and she stammered, "You... what's your name? You still haven't told me."
Xu Mofeng was taken aback, and then his expression became very subtle.
This Wu family girl used to side with an outsider, Bai Jingyuan, and help him fight against her own family. Now that he has killed her own second uncle in front of her, she not only doesn't hate him, but instead seems to be smitten and about to fall in love with him.
He's a true love-obsessed genius, a rare find indeed.
However, as his thoughts shifted, Xu Mofeng's eyes flickered, as if he had suddenly figured out the secret of the fate line on Wu Zini's body.
This thread of fate is tied to her, not necessarily because of her own great value, but more likely because she knows some secret or has something valuable hidden on her person.
His first thought was of the "family heirloom" that Bai Jingyuan kept mentioning.
So he cut to the chase and asked directly, "Do you know where the family heirloom Bai Jingyuan mentioned is?"
Wu Zini snapped out of her infatuation, hesitated for a moment, then reached into her bra and pulled something out, handing it to Xu Mofeng: "I secretly took it out a while ago, here you go!"
Originally, she was determined to hand this thing over to her Brother Bai herself, but standing in front of Xu Mofeng, who had already won her over, who was Bai Jingyuan? He had long been forgotten.
Xu Mofeng took the item; it was a piece of ancient jade with a yellowish hue, and it looked very old.
Almost the instant he got his hands on the ancient jade, he saw the threads of fate that had been wrapped around Wu Zini suddenly transfer to the ancient jade.
The ancient jade pendant has a unique shape, resembling a crescent moon, with a piece missing from the edge, as if it were originally a complete jade pendant that had been broken in two.
Immediately afterwards, a system notification sounded in my mind:
[Congratulations, host, on successfully transforming your destiny! You have received the following reward: Golden Core Advancement Pill x1]
The Golden Core Advancement Pill can directly elevate a Golden Core cultivator to a minor realm, making it a truly valuable item.
At this moment, the lines of opportunity on the ancient jade gradually faded, but a pale purple light of opportunity rose from Xu Mofeng's body, and a new line of opportunity extended out, pointing to an unknown direction.
Xu Mofeng instantly understood that this ancient jade was merely a "key," and the real purple-level opportunity was hidden elsewhere.
A Purple-Level Opportunity!
Xu Mofeng's eyes lit up, and he felt a surge of joy.
Bai Jingyuan was practically his lucky charm; every time he met him, he would get a stroke of good fortune, and each time it was better than the last.
As for this Miss Wu in front of us...
Xu Mofeng glanced at Wu Zini with an undisguised gaze, and the latter lowered her head shyly, her ears turning red.
Xu Mofeng thought to himself: This woman has twice harmed her own family's interests for the sake of outsiders. She didn't even care when her own second uncle died in front of her. She turned around and secretly fell in love with an outsider. She is truly a first-class "filial daughter". She is a rare and unique person.
She and Bai Jingyuan, who is obsessed with love, are a match made in heaven.
"Let's go, I'll take you to find Bai Jingyuan."
After carefully putting away the ancient jade, Xu Mofeng spoke calmly.
Wu Zini was already completely captivated by Xu Mofeng's charm, her heart was entirely with him, and upon hearing this, she nodded without hesitation and obediently followed behind him.
The two figures flickered and quickly disappeared into the dense forest outside the villa.
Deep in the dense forest, Bai Jingyuan and his maid Xiaoya waited listlessly, unable to sit still.
"I wonder how things are going on Brother Xu's side, whether he has found Zi Ni. If even Brother Xu has no news, I really don't know where the Wu family has hidden Zi Ni."
Bai Jingyuan sighed softly, his brows furrowed, his face full of worry, looking deeply affectionate.
Xiao Ya, who was standing nearby, quickly stepped forward to comfort him: "Brother Bai, don't worry. Brother Xu is highly skilled and will definitely be able to bring back news of Miss. Even if he doesn't find her, Miss is, after all, the daughter of the Wu family, and nothing will happen to her on her own turf."
Bai Jingyuan shook his head with a wry smile: "That's what you say, but I promised Zi Ni that I would personally go to the Wu family to pick her up... Sigh..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a light footstep sound suddenly came from the dense forest, accompanied by the rustling of branches and leaves.
Bai Jingyuan's expression hardened, and he abruptly stood up, drew his sword, and shouted, "Who?!"
The next second, a pretty figure slowly walked out of the woods; it was Wu Zini, whom he had been longing for day and night.
The moment Bai Jingyuan saw the person, the wariness on his face instantly turned into ecstatic joy, and he rushed forward in three strides: "Zini! What are you doing here? Are you alright?"
Unexpectedly, Wu Zini suddenly took a few steps back and hid behind the blue-shirted boy who came out next. She only peeked out half of her head and looked at him coldly with a distant look in her eyes.
Bai Jingyuan abruptly stopped in his tracks, stunned.
What's going on?
Before he could react, he saw Xu Mofeng standing in front of Wu Zini, and was immediately surprised and delighted: "Brother Xu!"
He truly hadn't expected that Xu Mofeng would actually bring Wu Zini out.
Xu Mofeng nodded slightly to him, his tone calm: "The villa I went to happened to be the place where Miss Wu was being held captive, so I took her out without any trouble."
"Thank you so much, Brother Xu! Words cannot express my gratitude!"
Bai Jingyuan was overjoyed and quickly clasped his hands in thanks.
Wu Zini, standing nearby, suddenly interjected, her tone brimming with undisguised pride: "Brother Xu is incredibly powerful. He not only killed the Golden Core protector of the manor, but even my second uncle died by his blade..."
As she spoke, her eyes, filled with tenderness and admiration, looked up at Xu Mofeng.
Bai Jingyuan's smile instantly froze.
Xu Mofeng killed Wu Changming, the second master of the Wu family.
Wu Changming is a master at the fourth level of the Golden Core stage!
Xu Mofeng is only at the Foundation Establishment stage, how could he possibly kill Wu Changming?!
That's terrifying strength!
In an instant, Bai Jingyuan's gaze towards Xu Mofeng completely changed, transforming from a friendly interaction between peers into one filled with awe, and he even unconsciously bent his back slightly.
"Brother Xu, rest assured, once I retrieve the family heirloom from the Wu family, I will definitely share it with you. I will never break my promise!"
Bai Jingyuan quickly patted his chest and assured them, eager to latch onto this powerful patron.
Xu Mofeng's eyes flickered slightly as he took out the crescent-shaped ancient jade from his storage ring, saying calmly, "Miss Wu has already brought out Brother Bai's family heirloom."
"What?!"
Bai Jingyuan was taken aback and quickly looked closely.
Xu Mofeng also felt a bit amused, waiting to see Bai Jingyuan's reaction.
He wanted to see what kind of expression this young master Bai, who kept saying he wanted to share, would have when he saw the ancient jade in his hands. He couldn't possibly say that it didn't matter who had the ancient jade, could he?
To Xu Mofeng's surprise, Bai Jingyuan stared at the ancient jade for a long time, but a look of doubt appeared on his face.
"This...this isn't my family's heirloom jade."
"Um?"
Xu Mofeng raised an eyebrow.
"Although they look very similar, the shape of the notch is wrong... Wait, how come the shape of this notch matches the notch on my family's heirloom jade? Could it be... that they were originally a pair?"
While Bai Jingyuan was marveling at the sight, Xu Mofeng's mind was racing.
It seems that these ancient jade pieces are indeed a pair. Since this one doesn't belong to Bai Jingyuan, it must belong to the Wu family.
In other words, the Wu family originally had half a piece of ancient jade. Later, they discovered that Bai Jingyuan's family heirloom jade could be paired with this piece, so they decided to seize it and even went so far as to imprison Wu Zini to force Bai Jingyuan to comply.
As he was pondering this, a dense sound of footsteps echoed through the surrounding forest, and the branches and leaves rustled, clearly indicating that a large group of people was approaching from all directions.
"not good!"
Bai Jingyuan's expression changed, and he instantly gripped the long sword in his hand tightly.
The next moment, dozens of skilled martial artists emerged from the dense forest, each with a deep and imposing aura, surrounding a middle-aged man in a brocade robe in the center.
The middle-aged man had a heroic appearance, and his eyebrows and eyes were five or six parts similar to Wu Changming, who was killed by Xu Mofeng with a single slash. He had a dignified demeanor, and the pressure of his golden core energy emanated from his body without any concealment.
"Father!"
When Wu Zini saw the person who had arrived, she instinctively exclaimed in surprise.
Bai Jingyuan's face turned deathly pale instantly, and his voice tightened: "The head of the Wu family, Wu Changlin..."
Xu Mofeng's expression also suddenly became serious.
The middle-aged man in the brocade robe had a face so dark it could drip water. His sharp, hawk-like gaze swept back and forth between Xu Mofeng and Bai Jingyuan, his voice icy and chilling: "You two little beasts, how dare you kill my Wu family's head guard and my second brother, and even dare to kidnap my daughter! Today I will make sure you are torn to pieces and die without a burial place!"
Bai Jingyuan felt a tightness in his chest from the murderous aura, and gritted his teeth, about to speak in his defense.
Just then, a figure rushed out, spreading his arms to block Xu Mofeng, and shouted urgently to Wu Changlin, "Father! Don't kill Brother Xu! Brother Xu didn't mean it! Please spare him!"
"..."
Bai Jingyuan's words caught in his throat, and he froze on the spot, staring blankly at Wu Zini, who stood in front of Xu Mofeng with a determined and resolute expression.
When the wind blows, the leaves in the forest rustle.
He suddenly felt a little cold.
Is she... interested in Xu Mofeng?
Then...wouldn't I become a clown?
