NO MORE

3 : Lan juniors

Hiding his presence, Wei wuxian snuck into the Mo compound. As he walked around, he saw a small crowd gathering near the main hall.

It seemed like junior cultivators from gusu had arrived.

Wei wuxian did not bother to listen too much. He could clearly see the village heads trying to suck up to the junior cultivators thinking they have a chance to gain favor for their son, Mo Ziyuan.

Wei wuxian did not bother too much with it. His job would only be eliminating the targets. That could only be done at night, when the resentful creatures would strike.

He also did not want to be found out. That would be the best way.

As he was free now, Wei wuxian, using the distraction at the main hall, looked around the Mo mannor.

He went through many room's and found Mo Xuanyu's belonging in many places. Some of the servants had also taken some smaller things. Probably because these were the things they could hide with their clothes and not let the Mo's find out.

Everyone who wanted to be sucessful wanted to be cutlivators. That was what the world was like.

Everyone was greedy.

He stepped into madam Mo's room.

'Ah. Just as i expected.'

It seemed as though everyone in this family stole things from Mo Xuanyu. Madam Mo surprisingly had more items then Mo Ziyuan did.

Within the cabinet at madam Mo's room, were scrolls. Cultivation scrolls to be exact.

'This would have been a bit dangerous. For them.'

Madam Mo and the family seem to be interested in cultivation. Seeing as how they tried to push their son to it.

Most of these cultivation scrolls were from Wei wuxian's research.

Naturally, that would mean that these were scrolls with information on demonic cultivation.

Moreover, the Mo's were civilians. They would not know the difference between the two types of cultivation methods.

It wouldn't be surprising to see them having some resentful energy within them.

'Ah! Was this also part of the plan?'

Although it was not widely known, with a good enough enough information network, it would surely be easy to know about Mo Xuanyu being part of the group researching my notes.

Since Mo Xuanyu was disgraced and sent here, he was still a cultivator. Obviously he would still have his own scrolls and notes.

It was also easy to know about his mistreatment by the Mo's. The entire village knew about it. Although no-one made a move to help.

Knowing their interest in having a family member being a cultivator, it's not hard to assume that they would steal some material for their son. And that the son would try to practice it.

Which was exactly what they did.

Wei wuxian could not help but think.

'In order to make sure they would be targeted'

Resentful energy is more attracted to negative emotions. Since Mo Ziyuan would have some resentful energy within him, the resentful creature would definitely target him.

This had been the ploy of the third party all along.

Wei wuxian started to smile. It was not a bright smile. It was an intrested one.

The third party must have known him in the past. How else would they know such things would intrest him?

'Im getting excited now'

Wei wuxian looked calm on the outside but had a storm on the inside.

He took all of Mo Xuanyu's things and put them into the quaqin pouches.

He was done checking all the rooms. He was done taking all cultivation related items.

Growl

Wei wuxian looked out the window. It was already night time. It was no wonder his stomach growled. He had missed two meals.

There was some noise as well. The people at the Mo mannor were retireng back to their rooms.

Stepping out into the compound, Wei wuxian saw the junior cultivators setting up a formation with some sprit attracting flags. They were his invention.

'Mo xuanyu did tell me my reaserch being taken. I guess some of it was useful enough to be made public'

Sigh.

Well, there was nothing Wei wuxian could do. This was something that happened while he was dead.

He could not take credit for it anymore. Even if he could, he would still choose not to.

He had not intentions of going back into the cultivation World.

Wei wuxian sent out a small thread of resentful energy. Is was a small lure. A trap to bring out his targets.

Mo Ziyuan was not the only one who attempted to use cultivation. All the Mo's and some servants had also done it.

They were the targets.

Wei wuxian had sent a lure to subconsciously bring them out. The resentful creature would attack them.

Normally, since it was confirmed that his targets would die, Wei wuxian would have left the scene.

But he did not. He stayed back.

There was only one reason. He did not know what the resentful creature was.

Although he sensed a strong resentful creature, he could not make out the extent of its strength.

He wasn't sure the juniors would be able to handle it. Wei wuxian dislike involving innocents in his work. That is why he stayed. He needed to take care to things here.

Wei wuxian was in deep thought. His mind whirling through countless thoughts.

Because of this, he did not realise that he had caught the juniors attention.

"Hey, what is that man doing here?"

Lan jingyi turned when he heard his fellow cultivator, lan sizhui mutter softly.

They saw a young man with a fairly attractive face standing not far from the compound with a stoicly serious face. He seemed to be in deep thought.

"Aye! Didn't we tell all of them to stay in their rooms tonight? Why is this man here?"

Lan jingyi moved towards the man, calling out to him in a loud voice.

"Hey you! Didn't we warn you to stay in your rooms? Go back! Shoo!"

"Jingyi! Don't be rude!"

Wei wuxian snapped out of his thoughts on hearing voices speaking to him.

He turns around and was about to make some excuses but it all died down when he saw one of the juniors.

Wei wuxian's face turned pale.
