In the short exchange just now, Mo Wen had used up one-third of the spiritual energy of the low-grade spiritual stone. Hence, to an ancient martial art practitioner at the pinnacle of the Qi Nucleation realm, exhausting the spiritual energy of the low-grade spiritual stone was not a difficult task.
However, Mo Wen's previous action was to find the puppet's stratagem eye and attempt to destroy it.
In the eyes of those with ulterior motives, they naturally did not want Mo Wen to destroy the puppet. If a puppet was destroyed in a Four stars assessment, it would be too much of a waste of resources.
The assessment fee compared to the value of the puppet was like heaven and earth. There was no comparison at all.
Hence, the puppet's transformation and counterattack just now was not done in a masterless state. Instead, it was a killing move controlled by someone with ulterior motives. The goal was naturally not to kill Mo Wen, but to defeat him and completely defeat him in the assessment.
However, no one knew that Mo Wen would have the Sacred Fire Sword. In front of that terrifying Sacred Sword, a mere steel puppet naturally could not resist at all.
"Those young Executors in the Huatian Palace, there are a few very interesting fellows. Crouching tigers and hidden dragons. They all hide very well. Interesting."
"However, that brat destroyed one of my puppets and even took away all my spiritual stones. When he comes back for the assessment, I will definitely make him suffer …"
The voice became softer and softer. Then, as though it had never appeared, it completely disappeared into the empty space. The broken puppet fell to the ground with a clang and turned into a pile of scrap metal.
Mo Wen didn't know that his actions had successfully provoked someone he didn't want to provoke. Right now, he was in a white light and had returned to the outside of the stone pagoda. After the light had completely dissipated, he was standing on the same spot, almost exactly the same as before.
As for Mo Qingtian, he was still leaning against the gray rock wall of the stone tower. His eyes were lowered and he was motionless, as though he was deep in thought.
"Completed?"
A glint of surprise flashed in Mo Qingtian's eyes. Mo Wen had only been in for a while. How could he have completed the assessment so quickly?
He remembered that when he was taking the assessment for the Four stars Executor, he had spent about half an hour to deplete the puppet's energy. However, Mo Wen had only spent about 15 minutes in total.
Mo Wen raised his right hand. The silver-white Vermilion Bird Ring on his finger flashed with a faint blue light.
With a glance, Mo Qingtian knew that Mo Wen had passed the assessment. The ranks of the Two stars and Four stars Executors could be easily identified from the rings that they possessed. On Mo Wen's Vermilion Bird ring, there were four blue crystal stars.
"Not bad."
Mo Wen's ability was much higher than he had imagined. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to pass the assessment in such a short time.
He knew that Mo Wen had not only passed the assessment, but had also dismantled the assessment puppet. He would most likely be so shocked that his jaw would drop.
After that, Mo Qingtian brought Mo Wen around the Huatian Palace headquarters. After understanding the environment and some rules, they left the Huatian Palace headquarters.
As for Mo Wen, he had fulfilled his wish of accepting the Huatian Palace's Four stars mission for the first time, which was to head to the capital to investigate the purpose of the secret Heretic force.
The next morning, Mo Wen returned to the capital. Although he had applied for ten days of leave for this trip to the Huatian Palace, in reality, he had only spent two days. There were no accidents on the way.
Mo Qingtian arranged for a car to send Mo Wen directly back to the entrance of Hua Xia University. As for himself, he was nowhere to be seen.
Mo Wen stretched his back and looked at the students coming and going at the entrance of Hua Xia University. They were in pairs, dressed fashionably, talking and laughing. It was as though he had crossed over to two different worlds.
From the magical Immortal Cultivation world, he had returned to the ordinary world. In reality, both worlds were the same world. It was just that some things were always hidden in the dark.
He took out his phone from his pocket and pressed the switch on button. Previously, on the way to the Huatian Palace headquarters, Mo Qingtian had asked him to switch off his phone. Hence, his phone had not been switched on for two days.
Just as he switched on his phone, he immediately received a few messages and a few missed calls.
As expected, Qin Xiaoyou still called him every day or sent him a message. In reality, there was no purpose, just to ask if he was well.
He was surprised to find that other than Qin Xiaoyou's call, there was also a call from Shen Jing.
It was very rare for her to call him. Could it be that something had happened? Mo Wen furrowed his brows.
He casually dialed Shen Jing's number. The call was connected almost at the same time.
"What's the matter? Did you miss me?"
Mo Wen's first sentence was very straightforward, very direct, and also very thick-skinned.
"If you are sick, please remember to take your medicine."
The other side of the phone was silent for a long time before a sentence popped out.
"If you don't miss me, why did you call me?" Mo Wen said with a smile. From Shen Jing's current state, it seemed like nothing had happened.
"I dialed the wrong number …"
"You dialed the wrong number and said it was my number. How much did you miss me?"
…
"If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up," Shen Jing said coldly.
"How can there be nothing else? Hurry up and prepare a table full of sumptuous lunch to welcome your lord husband …"
Mo Wen had not finished his sentence when Shen Jing's phone was hung up with a bang. There was a dead tone coming from the phone.
"What kind of attitude is this! Later, I will go over and teach you a lesson, little girl. "
Mo Wen rolled his eyes and put the phone back into his pocket. As for the missed call that showed a stranger's number, he pretended not to see it and was too lazy to bother with it.
Those who knew him all knew his phone number. A stranger's call was naturally from someone who didn't know him, or someone he didn't know. He had no interest in dealing with someone he didn't know.
Mo Wen walked through the school and headed straight to Shen Jing's house. At this time, Shen Jing should be at home making lunch. Naturally, it was a good time to go over and freeload.
"Why did you come back?"
In the living room of Shen Jing's house, Mo Wen reclined on the sofa. His back sunk into the soft sofa and he held a cup of tea in his hand. Opposite him sat Shen Jing, looking at him expressionlessly.
"Because I missed you, so I came back earlier," Mo Wen said with a smile.
"Do I have such a big reputation?"
Shen Jing turned her head to the side and looked at the golden sunlight outside the window. She said plainly, "I'm not the only person you missed, right?"
"What do you mean?" Mo Wen raised his eyebrows.
"What do you say about Qin Xiaoyou? That girl has publicly announced that you are her boyfriend, "Shen Jing said with a cold laugh.
Qin Xiaoyou was a student in her class. Did he think that she wouldn't know about such a thing? However, Mo Wen had never told her what exactly he was thinking and how he was prepared to treat the two of them.
"Xiaoyou …"
Mo Wen smiled awkwardly. He really didn't know how to explain it to Shen Jing. After all, in today's society, men were not allowed to have multiple wives. Women were very independent now and didn't have the mentality of relying on others like in ancient times.
So, dealing with Shen Jing, Qin Xiaoyou, and even Gong Biluo had always been a headache for him.
"Other than Qin Xiaoyou, there seems to be another woman called Gu Jingman who has an unclear relationship with you, right?"
Shen Jing glanced at Mo Wen and said plainly.
"Uh … Gu Jingman! What does she have to do with me? "
Mo Wen immediately felt wronged. Although he admitted that he was a bit of a playboy, he couldn't put everyone under his name. He and Gu Jingman were innocent, even more innocent than water.
"Stop pretending. Sister Lin told me long ago that you have a sister called Gu Jingman. However, the two of you don't seem to be siblings. Also, that Gu Jingman isn't related to you by blood, right?"
Shen Jing snorted softly. Although she didn't know the exact relationship between Mo Wen and Gu Jingman, from Sister Lin's words, it was obvious that there was an ambiguous element between Gu Jingman and Mo Wen.
"Lin Qing?"
Mo Wen cried out in his heart. How did this have anything to do with Lin Qing again? Also, how did she link him to Gu Jingman with her imagination?
However, he did realize that Shen Jing and Lin Qing seemed to be best friends. When women gossiped among themselves, anything could happen.
"Not admitting it? It doesn't matter if you don't admit it. "
Shen Jing took a deep breath and looked into Mo Wen's eyes. "Now you have two choices. I hope you will consider them seriously."
In reality, there was one thing that she didn't say. Recently, Lin Qing had looked for her a few times. She seemed to be very concerned about Mo Wen. The two of them had known each other for many years. She had never realized that Lin Qing was so concerned about any man. Based on her woman's intuition, she could tell that something was wrong.
However, she didn't say it out loud. After all, she was just guessing. Lin Qing was her best friend. There were some things that she was too embarrassed to ask, or rather, she didn't dare to ask.
From her conversations with Lin Qing, she found out about the existence of Gu Jingman.
Recently, Shen Jing's emotions were very complicated. She was even a little hesitant. She didn't know what to do in the future. Originally, she was a very traditional woman. She had given her first time to Mo Wen. Marrying Mo Wen in the future was not something unacceptable.
However, Mo Wen was surrounded by so many women. Many of them had ambiguous relationships with him. Mo Wen was a womanizer and was not honest at all.
She didn't even know if Mo Wen had her in his heart. She didn't know if she would be happy if she followed Mo Wen. There were too many uncertainties about Mo Wen. She couldn't see the future at all.
That was why she had been avoiding Mo Wen and giving him a hard time. She didn't dare to get close to him. She was afraid that she would sink too deeply and get hurt even more.
However, in the days that Mo Wen was away, she realized that she often thought of him. She couldn't sleep at night, thinking about Mo Wen. She thought about the past, thought about the present, thought about the future, and thought about her and Mo Wen's future.
Her messy thoughts were all related to Mo Wen. From time to time, she would let her imagination run wild. Sometimes, she wouldn't even focus on her work. (To be continued.)
