The girl in the black robe was short and petite. Ye Mo’s Spirit Serpents Palm quickly coiled around her thin arm and grabbed it.
When the girl shrieked, Ye Mo blushed and quickly let go of her arm.
The girl sat on the ground and cried. After a few seconds, the girl stood up, her pretty face full of murder as she punched towards Ye Mo. Ye Mo was not about to be punched by some girl, so he quickly evaded the attack.
The girl was both angry and anxious about not being able to hit Ye Mo. She turned towards the boy behind her and said, “Brother! Help me kill this pervert!”
“Miss, aren’t you misunderstanding something?” Ye Mo asked with an innocent face. Why did the girl want to kill him suddenly?
“Misunderstanding?! You grabbed my arm with that filthy hand of yours!” The girl was a neat freak. The only man who’d touched her before this was her father. Now she was angered because she was touched by a pervert.
“You started to attack me before asking who I was. I would be dead if I were a normal person,” Ye Mo argued. What a troublesome girl! How did she even advance to the Spirit Cultivating Second Realm with that temper?
“You!” The girl stared at Ye Mo like her eyes were on fire and would explode any moment. “Brother! Punish him!”
“Stop it, Leng Leng,” the guy said and shook his head.
Leng Leng understood that Ye Mo was stronger than her and just stared at Ye Mo viciously.
“You must be the third foreign aid for the Xiao Clan. My name is Leng Feng, and this is my sister, Leng Leng. We’re both from the Leng clan of Limestone City,” the guy said and cupped his hand.
“You guys are from the Leng Clan? Why are you helping the Xiao Clan?” Ye Mo asked curiously. Even though the Leng Clan was not one of the four biggest clans, they still had respectable strength.
“Brother, look, he’s wearing a tiger mask. He must be some thief or pervert. Let’s take him down and send him to the guards. Maybe we could even get rewarded by the city lord.” Leng Leng was still furious at Ye Mo. She was going to take every chance she had to make his life miserable.
Leng Feng could not help but shake his head and smile. “Please forgive my sister’s behavior. She was spoiled from the moment she was born. Even though the Leng Clan has power, with our strength, it’s hard for us to get into the top five of the Limestone Champion List. Only with the help from Xiao Clan’s resources do we have the chance to get into the top five. Plus, I’m kind of into Miss Xiao Yue, so of course we’ll be helping her.”
Even though there were 10 spots in the Limestone Champion List, the Three Major Alliances would only scout the top five martial artists. Two for the Qingyun Alliance, two for the Tiandi Alliance and one for the Wushuang Alliance. The only way to get into these alliances was to get into the top five rankings.
“Nice to meet you, brother Leng Feng. My name is Ye Mo. I’m also one of the foreign aids. But I’ll say this first, the foreign aid spot will be mine to take,” Ye Mo said as he took off his tiger mask and showed his handsome face. His face was bright with friendly smile. Leng Feng seemed like a good guy to him, someone who was worthy of being called a friend.
“As long as you can win against me before the tournament, then I’m willing to give you the spot. But let me warn you, I’m not that weak myself,” Leng Feng said and laughed, not showing any hostility.
“You pervert, don’t even think you can defeat my brother!” Leng Leng smirked. “Even though he’s only in the Spirit Cultivating Second Realm, he will reach the Third Realm in one month. What’s more, he has a Low-grade Magic Weapon. He could easily wipe out martial artists who were on his level.”
A Spirit Cultivating Third Realm martial artist with a Low-grade Magic Weapon definitely could wipe out any martial artist of the same realm.
“We won’t know for know!” Ye Mo shrugged. He would rather prove himself through his strength rather than wasting time with her.
Leng Leng got angrier from Ye Mo’s expression. This guy! Wait… Did he say his name is Ye Mo? She suddenly remembered something and mumbled, “You’re Ye Mo? Ye Qing’s son? The trash that didn’t even break through a single Mortal Gate after five years of training?”
Not everyone in the Limestone City knew who Ye Mo was, but that didn’t mean he wasn’t famous. Ye Mo was born with expectations to be someone powerful like his father. The news of him not being able to break through a single Mortal Gate after five years of training had spread throughout the whole city.
Leng Feng remembered who Ye Mo was after Leng Leng has called out who Ye Mo was. Rumors had it that Ye Mo was trash, yet he was able to break Leng Leng’s attack with ease.
“Looks like I’m known throughout the city as trash, huh? But mark my word, in two months, I’m going to be known as a genius who has surpassed Ye Qing!” Ye Mo said with confidence.
Leng Leng stared at Ye Mo’s confidence and became slightly gentler towards him.
“You’re just a pervert who would submit to only parlor tricks. You’ll have to defeat my brother first before you get to make that statement.” Leng Leng shook her head and thought, That’s right. He’s just a pervert controlled by his lust.
“We’ve finished our training, so we’ll be taking our leave,” Leng Feng said as he headed towards the stairs. Leng Leng smiled and followed her brother, leaving Ye Mo behind.
“Brother, if we could win the bid on the High-grade Magic Weapon at the auction, our chances of getting into the top five will be even higher,” Leng Leng whispered as she followed behind Leng Feng. Yet Ye Mo was still able to hear what she was saying.
“How could we win the bid when the four biggest clans are going to bid for it too? Our father has ordered us not to participate in the auction,” Leng Feng said as they walked towards the first floor.
“Come on, the auction will be crowded with all different kinds of stuff. I want to go!”
Even the Leng Clan wouldn’t dare to place their bid on the Magic Weapon. Looks like it won’t be easy for me to get the weapon… Ye Mo thought. If he were able to get his hands on the High-grade Magic Weapon, it would make him stronger.
Ye Mo trained his martial technique in the Martial Pavilion for some time and left. He kept the tiger mask in his pocket and walked towards Ye’s Mansion. He met Elder Yin on his way back. Elder Yin hung his head low and was letting out sigh after sigh.
“Elder Yin!” Ye Mo shouted and ran towards him.
“Oh, Ye Mo. Looks like it was only pure luck, me creating those Fortifying Pills with Pill’s Markings,” Elder Yin said with another sigh.
It was natural that Elder Yi was not able to create more pills of that level since they were created with Ye Mo’s Dragon Energies.
“Don’t give up just yet, Elder Yin. I believe you’ll be able to create Fortifying Pills with markings again!” Ye Mo smiled as he consoled Elder Yin and clapped a hand upon Elder Yin’s shoulder.
“Of course, a mere helper like you wouldn’t understand how hard is it to create those pills,” someone scorned. It came from an old man wearing a grey robe. He wore a pin in front of his chest like Elder Yin. The only difference was that it was a pin for a Phase 3 Alchemist.
There were only two Phase 3 Alchemist in all of Limestone City. One of them was Qin Mo, the guild master of the Alchemist Guild and the lord of Limestone City.
“Old man Yin, don’t come and show your face at the guild if you don’t have the skills. What’s more, you’re bringing a helper that doesn’t have a basic understanding of pill refining. If I were you, I would have just found another helper.”
