The Untamed: Inexorable Fate of Us

Chapter 8: Reunited

Jin Guangyao meets with Mo Xingyi. Xingyi sits at a stone table with tea. She courteously greets Jin Guangyao before inviting him to sit.

Mo Xingyi sets her sword on the table and drinks the tea with Jin Guangyao. At first, Jin Guangyao thinks that it's odd that Mo Guniang admired him so much. After greeting him, Mo Xingyi's next few words made him understand the situation.

Mo Xingyi: It's good to meet you, brother.

Jin Guangyao laughs: Brother? How casual you are, Mo Guniang.

Mo Xingyi puts a Lanling Jin jade pendent on the table. The jade pendent was Jin Guangshan's. It grants access to the Jin Clan. Jin Guangyao knew very well what this was.

Mo Xingyi: I've waited for you to come find me after father died. I guess you must not know of me so I made my own plans to get you to me.

Jin Guangyao: Mo Guniang, who are you?

Mo Xingyi: Isn't it obvious? I'm like you, one of Jin Guangshan's many children. I think I'm the last one though. I highly admire you. You were able to get into the clan with that witch on father's back. Father's legal wife would have had me assassinated if she knew of my existence. Let me tell you a story, brother.

Jin Guangyao is disgusted that Jin Guangshan even had a child of such an age. You'd think he stop after his beloved son, Jin Zixuan got married. Jin Guangyao feels that Mo Xingyi, the one that has made herself apparent now, is very similar to him. Bright minded, so he listens.

Mo Xingyi: A few days after the fall of Yiling Laozu, my mother died in childbirth but I made it. Father hide me away. He had a disciple abandon me at the Mo Mansion as they were accepting girls. But of course, I was a new-born. The Mo Mansion didn't want me so they sent me to live with a good family that raised me as their own. One day when I was 7, father came by my village. He has always had a disciple keep an eye on me. Father was impressed by me so he sent teachers to teach me martial arts at 10 and teach me cultivation arts. He was ready to take me back to Lanling but he never came to get me. Not too long after, I heard of his death. I knew then why he had not returned for me.

Jin Guangyao can't believe it. He wasn't sure what to do.

Mo Xingyi continues: I wanted more than to be a noble girl and marry rich. I wanted everyone to know that I'm a part of a great clan- no, that my family runs a great clan. So, using what I was taught... I created a Stygian Lure Flag and had the demons around take away the family that raised me just so I can end up here with a dramatic and pretentious aunt who could bring attention to herself. What a surprise I found when I got here and my brother Mo Xuanyu was here. All I had to do now was get rid of this family so they don't wed me into some random rich family. But brother, I feel like I deserve a right to be in the Jin Clan, right? Father would have wanted that.

Jin Guangyao: You're smart. What makes you think I would allow you in the clan?

Mo Xingyi: I have father's jade pendent and if you don't accept me then I'll tell the world that you killed father.

Jin Guangyao holds his cup: You wouldn't dare.

Mo Xingyi brings back the cute and innocent girl she had made for herself: Brother, you are good at deceiving. Don't you think I am just the same?

Jin Guangyao: What's the harm in letting her into the clan? If she tried to overthrow me then I can easily get rid of her.

Jin Guangyao stands up and walks behind Mo Xingyi, he gives her a small tense hug: Alright, meimei (younger sister). Return with me and I will make sure the whole cultivation world knows your name.
