At an unknown location, in a mysterious underground palace.
"Young Master, the fake sacrificial altar in the east of the Taihang Mountains has been discovered by the people of the Huatian Palace."
In the dark and cold ancient hall, a mysterious man shrouded in a black robe knelt on the ground. In front of him stood a slender figure. That figure seemed to have merged with the surrounding darkness. It seemed real and illusory. Although he was standing in front of them, they could see him with their eyes, but they couldn't feel his aura at all.
This person was wearing a delicate bat mask, only his sharp chin and deep eyes could be seen.
"Oh, another one was exposed? The Huatian Palace's investigative abilities were indeed not simple. Out of the seventeen fake sacrificial altars, they had already found four. However, the more fake sacrificial altars they remove, the greater their losses. "
The corner of the mysterious masked man's mouth curled up into a cold smile. He had set up more than ten fake sacrificial altars to mislead the public and disrupt the Huatian Palace's investigation. The actual sacrificial altars had been perfectly hidden all along.
"Young Master …" The black-robed man who was kneeling on the ground opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but he hesitated.
"Hmm?"
The masked man glanced at the black-robed man, and the temperature in the hall suddenly dropped.
The black-robed man subconsciously shivered. He knew the Young Lord's temper and did not dare to delay at all. He immediately reported, "Young Lord, this time we did not gain any advantage. Malicious Spirit and the other two have all died at the hands of the Huatian Palace members."
"It's that Malicious Spirit again. He can't accomplish anything, but he's good at spoiling things."
The mysterious masked man snorted coldly. He had previously sent people out to hunt for offerings, but he had brought back the least offerings.
"Young Master, the members of the Huatian Palace are most likely on their guard. How should we deal with them?"
The black-robed man said. They must have suffered a few losses before, so this time, they sent out a particularly powerful person to deal with them.
"The Huatian Palace is not stupid. They can set up a few more fake sacrificial altars and send a few Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioners to guard them. As for whether the Huatian Palace finds out or not, it's up to them. It was just a few deaths. The organization had nurtured them, so they had the obligation to sacrifice for the organization. Anyway. In order to complete the sacrificial ceremony, no matter what price we have to pay, we will not hesitate. "
The mysterious masked man said coldly. He did not seem to care about the death of a few Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioners. It was as if a few Golden Elixir realm peerless experts were no different from a few ants in his eyes.
"Yes, this subordinate will do it immediately."
The Young Master's coldness caused the black-robed man to tremble slightly. He didn't dare to say anything else and immediately got up to leave. He knew that after this, the Huatian Palace would definitely continue to investigate their fake sacrificial altar. Then, a large number of members of the Ghost Lair would die a violent death. They were using their own lives to attract the attention of the Huatian Palace.
"This sacrificial ceremony concerns the rise and fall of our world. The Ruler's Sacred Token has already been issued, so we can only succeed and not fail. Otherwise, all of us will be buried together with him. "
After the black-robed man left, a faint sigh sounded in the hall.
…
When Mo Wen returned to school, it was already close to morning. Xiaoyou was still sleeping, so he did not disturb her.
On the second day, Xiaoyou went to class as usual. In her free time, she put in all her effort into practicing.
Mo Wen, on the other hand, was dealing with the matters of the Blue Ocean Group, the shares of the Blue Ocean Group owned by the Qin Clan. All of them were transferred under Qin Xiaoyou's name. Apart from that, there were also 23 listed companies under her name. Among them, there were 16 companies that held absolute controlling shares. The other six listed companies also held more than 30% of the shares.
It could be said that the Qin Clan controlled a huge business empire. Many ancient martial arts aristocratic families had their own family businesses. However, the number of families that could compare to the Qin Clan could be counted on one hand. Qin Xiaoyou had suddenly become a rarely seen rich lady.
However, regarding the matters of the Blue Ocean Group, she didn't care at all. She didn't ask about it at all. Whatever Mo Wen said to her, it was the same sentence: You are the head of the family, so you decide.
In the end, Mo Wen was worried sick. Qin Xiaoyou didn't want to care about the matters of the group. He didn't want to care about it either. Moreover, he didn't have the time to care about those trivial matters. Although he had helped Qin Xiaoyou get justice, no matter how he looked at it, it seemed like he was finding trouble for himself.
After thinking about it, Mo Wen thought of a person. It was impossible for him to manage such a huge Blue Ocean Group, but he could hire a trustworthy person to help him manage it. In his mind, he had a pretty good candidate in mind.
Lin Qing, a rising star in the business world of Charm City. She had started from scratch. Now, she was in her early thirties, but she already had a sizable pharmaceutical company. Although her achievements were related to Professor Pan Aiguo's position in the medical world, her business ability and talent were unquestionable.
If he could hire Lin Qing to be the CEO of the Blue Ocean Group, not only would he be able to bring out Lin Qing's full value, but he could also save himself a lot of trouble.
Once he thought of Lin Qing, a strange feeling welled up in Mo Wen's heart. After not seeing her for a few months, he actually couldn't wait to see her. A mature and alluring figure kept flashing in his mind. It was full of that mature, charming, and enchanting figure. Damn it! He wasn't like this in the past. Could it be that he was born a lustful person? His hidden nature had been fully unearthed, so when he saw a beautiful woman, he wouldn't have good intentions?
Or could there be some other reason?
Mo Wen pondered deeply for a while and felt that the possibility of the former was higher. After all, other than practicing the Goddess Technique, Lin Qing didn't have any other special traits. On the contrary, he couldn't figure out Shen Jing.
The next afternoon, Mo Wen wandered leisurely to Shen Jing's teacher's apartment. He took out a key from his hand and directly entered.
At this time, school had just ended, and Shen Jing was busy in the kitchen.
After a while, she walked out with a plate of food. Suddenly, she realized that there was a person sitting in the hall. She was so shocked that she almost threw the plate of food in her hand.
When she saw clearly that the person was Mo Wen, she heaved a sigh of relief.
"Mo Wen, why did you barge in without saying a word? Are you possessed by a ghost?"
Shen Jing was so angry that she shouted loudly. Usually, she was alone at home, so the sudden appearance of another person at home naturally gave her quite a shock.
"What do you mean barge in? Is returning to my own home considered barging in?" Mo Wen retorted.
"It's obviously my home. How did it become your home?" Shen Jing was so angry that both sides of her pretty face were red. She was really cute. Mo Wen, this person, why was he so unreasonable?
"You are mine, so naturally, your home is also my home," Mo Wen walked over with a smile and hugged Shen Jing in his arms.
Shen Jing tried to push him away, but it didn't budge. She could only say helplessly, "I still have to cook. Stop fooling around."
"Today, I am eating at home. Hurry up and add two more dishes."
Mo Wen let go of Shen Jing and sat at the dining table like a boss, waiting for Shen Jing to serve the dishes.
Shen Jing glared at Mo Wen fiercely and scolded him a hundred times in her heart before returning to the kitchen to cook.
During the meal, Mo Wen kept putting food into Shen Jing's bowl. His attentive manner made it seem as if he was the host and was entertaining a guest.
"Stop taking food. If I continue eating, I will become fat."
Shen Jing looked at the food in her bowl that almost spilled out and rolled her eyes. In order to maintain a perfect figure, she was very careful with her food. She didn't eat food that was high in fat and calories. She usually had a standard amount of nutrition and food intake. Every girl who loved to look good would never indulge herself in eating random things.
"It's okay. Even if I become fat, I will still marry you." Mo Wen had a look that said he would not despise her.
"Only a ghost would marry you." Shen Jing gave Mo Wen a self-delusional look.
"Why are you looking for me? Say it. "
One who was unaccountably solicitous was hiding evil intentions. Mo Wen was uncharacteristically fawning over her, so it would be strange if he did not have something to ask of her.
Mo Wen blinked his eyes and said, "I don't have anything to talk to you about. What can I have? I just want to have a meal with you."
"Then eat, don't talk." Shen Jing snorted softly and lowered her head to eat, intentionally ignoring Mo Wen.
After eating for a while, Mo Wen suddenly said, "Oh yes, let me ask you something."
"…"
"Did you hear what I said? Don't just eat."
"…"
"Alright, I do have something to ask you."
Mo Wen said helplessly as he looked at Shen Jing, who was pretending to be deaf and dumb and only focused on eating with her head lowered. Why were women so petty?
"Beg me?"
"… Yes, I beg you."
"Say it. If I can tell you, I will tell you. If I can't, then I can't help you even if I want to." Shen Jing knew that if it was a normal question, Mo Wen would definitely not act like this. It might even involve some sensitive issues.
"That … Do you know Lin Qing's phone number? Or can you contact Lin Qing? I have something to talk to her about. "
"I don't know."
Shen Jing's hand that was holding the chopsticks trembled. Her nose suddenly felt a little sour. She lowered her head and remained silent.
He was asking about another woman in front of her, and she was her best friend. Why couldn't he give her a little more dignity? She knew that Mo Wen was a playboy, but being a playboy in front of her and being a playboy behind her back were two completely different attitudes.
"Ahem, you are mistaken. I have something else to talk to Lin Qing about," Mo Wen said helplessly.
Women all liked to be jealous, and they liked to let their imaginations run wild. Before this, Shen Jing had already suspected that there was something going on between him and Lin Qing. Hence, her first impression was the strongest, so she naturally thought in that direction.
If he had Lin Qing's contact information, he definitely would not have asked Shen Jing about such a thing. Only a fool would talk about another sensitive woman in front of a woman.
"…" Shen Jing still did not speak.
"I have only met Lin Qing twice. I don't even know her contact information. What could be going on between us? Don't wrongly accuse me. I am a dutiful person. "
Mo Wen felt that he had been wrongly accused. He really did not have any ulterior motives in looking for Lin Qing.
"Don't bother explaining. Only a ghost would believe you. I get annoyed when I see you. You can contact her yourself. I won't be a matchmaker for you."
Shen Jing's face darkened. She placed her phone in front of Mo Wen, displaying Lin Qing's contact information in her contact list. Then, she ignored Mo Wen and lowered her head to eat. After finishing her meal, she minded her own business and cleared the dishes, treating Mo Wen like air. (To be continued.)
