"The reason why I want you to kowtow and admit your mistake is because I want you to remember today's humiliation and never underestimate anyone in the future."
Roba Tian looked at the silent Luo Yan and sincerely consoled him to show his sincerity.
"Father, I know I was wrong!"
After hearing Roba Tian's words, Luo Yan showed a remorseful expression and admitted his mistake to Roba Tian: "No matter what, I will make sure that Mo Qingyun dies without a complete corpse."
"Don't worry, that kid won't be able to escape!"
Roba Tian nodded and didn't deny Luo Yan's thoughts. He comforted Luo Yan and said: "That kid's talent is extraordinary, his background shouldn't be as simple as it seems. Let's listen to what Elder Gu Yang has to say."
Luo Yan nodded in agreement after hearing Roba Tian's words and waited for Gu Yang's arrival with a gloomy expression.
Not long after, Gu Yang was led by a guard to the City Lord Mansion's meeting hall.
"Greetings City Lord, Young City Lord!"
Seeing Luo Batian and Luo Yan in the hall, Gu Yang showed a respectful expression and bowed to the two of them.
Perhaps because of Mo Qingyun, Luo Yan's expression didn't look too good when he saw Gu Yang in the center of the hall.
Compared to Luo Yan's attitude, Roba Tian was much more easy-going. He smiled and waved his hand at Gu Yang: "Elder Gu Yang, there's no need to be so polite. Let's sit down and talk."
"Okay!"
Gu Yang nodded and sat down opposite Luo Yan.
When Luo Batian saw that Gu Yang had taken a seat, a faint smile appeared on his face as he said, "Sinecure Gu Yang, I already know the details of what happened between Yan 'er and young master Mo. Yan' er has indeed gone overboard and I have already severely reprimanded him."
Hearing Luo Batian's words, Luo Yan immediately puffed up his cheeks in anger and looked unhappy.
Seeing Luo Yan's expression, Gu Yang smiled faintly and quickly explained to Roba Tian: "Qingyun was a little reckless. Even if he had a quarrel with the Young City Lord, he shouldn't have attacked the Young City Lord."
"Yan 'er has always been naughty and mischievous since he was young. It's good that Mr. Mo taught him a lesson and let him know that there's always someone better."
Luo Batian hurriedly waved his hand. He didn't blame Mo Qingyun at all, showing that he was very magnanimous.
Hearing Luo Batian's words, Gu Yang's frown deepened. He didn't think that Luo Batian really had such thoughts.
In his opinion, Luo Batian's current actions were a form of retreat in order to advance.
Sure enough, just as Gu Yang expected, Luo Batian expressed his apologies, "Elder Gu Yang, you and I have known each other for millions of years, let's not hide anything from each other. Tell me the truth about Young Master Mo's identity."
As soon as Luo Batian finished speaking, he released a surge of Saint's Aura and pressed down on Gu Yang.
He was warning Gu Yang not to play any more tricks with him. After all, there was no way he could protect Mo Qingyun.
"This …"
Under the pressure of Roba Tian's aura, Gu Yang's heart skipped a beat and he felt a strong sense of uneasiness.
What was to come would come in the end.
Gu Yang was silent for a moment. Then, with a solemn expression on his face, he said, "City Lord, this old man doesn't dare to hide anything from you. Qingyun once received the inheritance of one of my Senior Brothers, so he can be considered as my Junior Nephew. However, I know nothing about him."
"So that's how it is!"
Roba Tian's eyes flashed and his face turned cold. He said coldly: "So, you have never met Mr. Mo before this?"
"That's right!"
Gu Yang calmly nodded at Luo Batian and Luo Feng.
Seeing Gu Yang's action, Luo Yan couldn't hold back his anger. He said angrily: "Old man Gu Yang, you're lying! You're clearly …"
"Yan 'er, don't be rude!"
Luo Batian's face darkened when he saw Luo Xian's actions. He immediately roared at him, "Did you forget what I told you just now? You have to stay calm in the face of trouble. Elder Gu Yang has known us for so long, we have to trust his words. "
"Thank you, City Lord!"
Gu Yang stood up and cupped his hands in gratitude when he heard Roba Tian's words.
"No need to be so polite, Elder Gu Yang!"
Roba Tian waved his hand and pointed at a chair for Gu Yang to sit down. He said: "Elder Gu Yang, you and I have known each other for so many years, I have something to say, but I'm not sure if I should say it."
"City Lord, please speak!"
Gu Yang looked at Roba Tian curiously.
Receiving Gu Yang's gaze, Luo Batian didn't try to hide anything. "Elder Gu Yang, this Young Master Mo has a mysterious background. Since he claimed to be your junior nephew, I think you should go and verify his identity."
"Thank you for the reminder, City Lord. I will go and verify it later."
Gu Yang nodded seriously at Roba Tian's suggestion. He didn't change his expression.
He knew Mo Qingyun's identity better than anyone else. Why would he need to verify it?
Roba Tian nodded with satisfaction at Gu Yang's reaction. He smiled and said: "Elder Gu Yang, this is just a guess. Don't let this cause a rift between you and Mr. Mo."
"I know what to do!"
Gu Yang nodded. He still didn't show any emotion.
"Haha, that's good, that's good!"
Roba Tian nodded with a fake smile and said: "Since this matter is over, please go back and tell Mr. Mo not to take it to heart. Tell him to attend the alchemy test for us."
Following that, Luo Batian and the others pretended to be obedient but secretly opposed, chatting with each other.
After about half an hour, Roba Tian saw that he couldn't get anything out of Gu Yang, so he asked Gu Yang to leave.
"This old bastard is obviously covering up for Mo Qingyun and hiding Mo Qingyun's true identity."
Seeing Gu Yang leave, Luo Yan's face immediately turned gloomy and he said angrily, "If it wasn't for his Alchemy skills, I would have killed him as well."
"Shut up!"
Hearing Luo Yan's words, Luo Batian immediately reprimanded him, "Gu Yang's cultivation might not be high, but he's an Eight Star Alchemist. His status isn't inferior to that of a Saint Stage cultivator. If what you said just now reaches Gu Yang's ears, even I might not be able to save your life."
"I know I was wrong!"
Luo Yan's body trembled and his face turned pale when he heard Roba Tian's words.
He was so angry that he lost his mind and wanted to kill Gu Yang.
Seeing the change in Luo Yan's expression, the corner of Luo Batian's mouth rose slightly as he sneered, "Since Gu Yang is so protective of that brat, there must be some secret behind it. Perhaps we can start with Gu Yang and slowly find out what that brat is."
Luo Yan's eyes lit up when he heard Roba Tian's words. He asked with a puzzled expression, "Father, do you really plan to let Mo Qingyun represent us in the alchemy test?"
"That's right!"
In response to Luo Xian's question, Luo Batian didn't hide anything and nodded, "That kid's alchemy skills are pretty good. If he participates in the alchemy trials, he might be able to get into the top ten."
"Father, are you planning to slowly deal with him after the alchemy test is over?"
Luo Yan's eyes lit up when he heard Roba Tian's words. He could guess what Roba Tian was thinking.
Luo Yan looked at Roba Tian with admiration. "Father, you're the best. Even if you have to kill that kid, you have to use him to his fullest potential."
Roba Tian didn't deny Luo Yan's words. Obviously, that was what he was thinking.
While Roba Tian and Gu Yang were talking, Gu Yang returned to his residence and started looking for Mo Qingyun.
"Lord Gu Yang, are you looking for Mr. Mo?"
Seeing Gu Yang's actions, Deacon Jiang asked with a curious expression.
"That's right!"
Hearing Deacon Jiang's words, Gu Yang didn't hide anything and asked, "Deacon Jiang, have you seen Qing Yun? Do you know where he went? "
"I don't know. I left not long after you left."
Under Gu Yang's questioning, Deacon Jiang lied and hid the truth from Gu Yang.
"You can leave for now!"
Gu Yang didn't ask any more questions after hearing Deacon Jiang's answer. He waved his hand at Deacon Jiang.
Gu Yang signaled Deacon Jiang to leave and returned to the secret room to see if Mo Qingyun was there.
Soon, Gu Yang returned to the secret room, but there was still no sign of Mo Qingyun.
"Did Qing Yun leave Cloudsky City?"
Gu Yang naturally thought that Mo Qingyun might have left since he still couldn't find Mo Qingyun.
After all, it was too dangerous for Mo Qingyun to stay in Cloudsky City. It was normal for him to leave.
"Martial Uncle, you're back!"
While Gu Yang was muttering to himself, a voice entered his mind, causing him to be shocked.
Hearing the voice in his mind, Gu Yang turned around and asked in surprise, "Qing Yun, is that you?"
Gu Yang didn't forget to close the door to the secret room to prevent others from eavesdropping on their conversation.
When Gu Yang closed the door to the secret room, Mo Qingyun's figure slowly appeared in front of him.
"Qing Yun, you …"
Gu Yang's eyes widened in disbelief when he saw Mo Qingyun suddenly appear.
Just now, he had clearly sensed the secret room carefully and hadn't discovered Mo Qingyun's existence.
Now that Mo Qingyun had appeared, it was too strange.
"Martial Uncle, don't be surprised. It's just a concealment technique."
Seeing Gu Yang's surprised expression, Mo Qing Yun smiled indifferently and gave a simple explanation, "Martial Uncle, what did Luo Batian and Luo Yun talk about?"
"They didn't say much, they just asked about your identity. I brushed them all off."
Deacon Gu Yang didn't hide anything from Mo Qingyun and replied truthfully. His brows furrowed, "However, Roba and Tian still hope that you can represent Cloudsky City in the alchemist trials. What are your plans?"
"They still hope that I can participate in the alchemist trials?"
