6 min read1,472 words

Seeing that reasoning with his master is useless, Mo Shulin could only use “money.”

“But Master, Duanmu Jinyan’s father used to be the first wealthy merchant in the continent. We can just sell some weapons and artifacts he can use in the secret realm, maybe we can make money to buy the house.” Mo Shulin’s voice was very low and light, like a devil’s whisper. But because he’s in a child’s body, his voice held some milky tone, which sounds coquettish.

This is an important reason why Mo Shulin wanted to aim at Duanmu Jinyan.

Duanmu Jinyan’s father’s clan was indeed destroyed by demon cultivators, and Duanmu main clan’s resources were divided among Duanmu clans branches. On the surface, Duanmu Jinyan is a poor orphan who was disliked by his uncles and was taken advantage of.

But in fact, Duanmu Jinyan still has a lot of paths to take and spirit stones to squander.

Unlike Mo Shulin, the lonely and helpless duckweed, many lackeys who are looking forward to Duanmu clan’s turnaround have been secretly delivering news to Duanmu Jinyan, wanting to use Duanmu Jinyan’s youth and ignorance to take over Duanmu’s main family resources.

The other branches of Duanmu family didn’t know that Duanmu Jinyan had a way to escape, thought that Duanmu Jinyan with four spirit roots would have no future.

After Duanmu Jinyan entered Liangji sect and was taken into the inner sect, those Duanmu family branches realized that Duanmu Jinyan still had a card in his hand, and their attitude towards Duanmu Jinyan changed from sympathy to temptation.

Now Duanmu Jinyan seems to be in trouble, but the money that comes out from his hands can definitely buy the house Bai Yuming wants.

It’s just that Mo Shulin wasn’t sure whether Duanmu Jinyan would buy it, so he inquired a few more people to avoid putting all eggs in one basket and being too passive.

Bai Yuming’s heart immediately softened when he heard the little disciple’s milky voice.

But some things, once they start, there’s no turning back.

Duanmu Jinyan is a person who must repay grievances, who knows which sentence could annoy Duanmu Jinyan, thus they can’t afford it once he got angry.

“No. I don’t allow it.” Bai Yuming was very determined, he couldn’t afford to gamble.

“Why?” Mo Shulin saw that Bai Yuming was firm with his decision, so he couldn’t shake Bai Yuming’s thoughts no matter how much he says.

Bai Yuming was silent, not wanting to speak.

Mo Shulin’s thoughts quickly skimmed over the possible consequences of using childish behaviors such as pretending to be angry and leaving, screaming, crying, rolling, etc. He felt that those childlike behaviors wouldn’t shake Bai Yuming.

He thought for a moment and got an idea.

Mo Shulin calmed down and sat down again, looking like an adult, “Master, I know that Master is good for me. But I’m no longer the young master of Feiyun Valley. I can only accompany Master on the journey ahead”

Mo Shulin first used his life experience to draw out Bai Yuming’s attention, then emphasized his and Bai Yuming’s isolation and helplessness.

Bai Yuming also heard the meaning of Mo Shulin’s words, he was immediately moved by Mo Shulin.

“It’s difficult for my cultivation base to make further progress. I just want to be able to accompany Master more in the past hundred years. After a hundred years, the revolving lantern will rotate. Until then, I can smile and be at ease knowing that I didn’t drag my Master down.” Mo Shulin wanted to squeeze out few droplets of tears, but he couldn’t cry at all.

His voice was dull and frustrated, his speech was heartbreaking, but his heart didn’t feel suffocated at all.

There is only heat in his chest, all he wanted was to burn and destroy all obstacles on his way. He wants to stay with his Master longer, not wanting to live only a short hundred years in shame.

Bai Yuming stared at Mo Shulin seriously.

Bai Yuming has read so many scripts, each and every word held infinite meanings.

He understood that Mo Shulin’s words were purposeful, he knew that Mo Shulin’s words were somewhat true and false, but because he knew that Mo Shulin really cares about him, Bai Yuming couldn’t treat him in a similar manner like the original story.

“You didn’t drag me down.” Bai Yuming didn’t want Mo Shulin to feel ashamed.

“I only ask for one reason.” Mo Shulin took the opportunity to express his words.

How could Bai Yuming tell Mo Shulin the truth, “You can make money, but you can’t come into contact with Duanmu Jinyan. He’s not someone we can afford to offend.”

Hearing this, Mo Shulin was slightly stunned and raised his eyes meeting Bai Yuming’s.

He felt that Bai Yuming knew as much as he does, but Mo Shulin didn’t think that Bai Yuming was also reborn like him.

There’s still a big gap between people who have lived for a hundred years and people who have lived for ten years.

Especially after experiencing major changes, even if they can pretend for a while, their personality would have changed. Mo Shulin occasionally pretends to be childish, but more often he still lives true to his heart.

He has undergone tremendous changes, it’s always normal to think of his loved ones from time to time.

With Bai Yuming’s past behaviors, Mo Shulin could see that Bai Yuming was a lazy and greedy dove occupying a magpie’s nest who had never killed a single living creature.

The real Bai Yuming is a battle pet who has killed thousands of demons, and it’s impossible not to be unscrupulous.

If he’s a spy, then it’s really hard to explain his character that dislike communicating with the outside world.

Bai Yuming has no hatred for other people and things, he’s unlike a reborn person. Previously, after being slandered, Bai Yuming was vilified by many people after he fell into trouble. One of them was Fang Guanshi, who brought Mo Shulin to the peak last month.

Mo Shulin always thought that Bai Yuming didn’t know anything, but luck has brought him to this place, allowing him to take advantage of the little benefits.

Only now did Mo Shulin realize that Bai Yuming is really not just a silly rabbit who doesn’t understand anything.

Except for him, in the entire Cultivator Continent, who can be sure that Duanmu Jinyan has a great luck?

Can Bai Yuming see his future?

Falling into the demon’s path, went to enemy’s lair with corrupted blood, watched the innocent people die in order to go deep into the enemy camp, There’s also the Demon Smiling Whitehead that places all the blame onto Bai Yuming, he could count as one of the accomplice who knew but doesn’t tell…

Mo Shulin once felt ashamed in his heart, but now he’s more afraid that Bai Yuming will know the dirty things he had done.

Seeing Mo Shulin with a terrible complexion, Bai Yuming thought that Mo Shulin was worrying about money, “If we don’t actively contact him, we can give it to him through auction.”

“Even if we make something suitable for Duanmu Jinyan, he may won’t be able to get it since we have never meet him.”

The auction will have its own capabilities.

Duanmu Jinyan always have several rivals, and things won’t necessarily fall into Duanmu Jinyan’s hands.

“Master is right. This disciple will listen to Master’s words.” Mo Shulin hurriedly praised Bai Yuming.

At this time, he didn’t care about spirit stone, he was only worried that Bai Yuming could really observe the sky at night, could see the despicableness of his future, and drove him out of Yuexue Peak.

In the face of his own safety, Duanmu Jinyan is nothing.

Bai Yuming nodded.

Knowing the real reason why Mo Shulin was inquiring about the news, Bai Yuming no longer need to went out with Mo Shulin.

Mo Shulin thought that Bai Yuming didn’t want to get along with Duanmu Jinyan’s group, he intended to forget this group of people, but he didn’t want to pass a day with nothing to do, so he got a bunch of materials.

No more, no less, thirty-five sheets of paper.

Although some places are blank and not everyone has detailed information, this list is still made Mo Shulin frightened.

Mo Shulin will be confused if he’s on his own, just like searching needle in a haystack. But when the thing he was looking for appeared in front of him, Mo Shulin recognized at a glance that this was the list of possible selected disciple into the secret realm.

How does Bai Yuming know the future even before the battle started?

Can Bai Yuming really be a prophet and observe the night sky?
