Chapter 7: Mysterious Inkstone

  At the foot of Xilou Mountain

  "Mo Mo, you carry the firewood back home first, Xiao Hui must be hungry, there's already cooked food at home, just heat it up." Fei Fei was swinging an axe to deal with a withered tree.

  "You can stop too, these firewoods are enough for us to use until next winter." I threw the water bag to Nini who was resting with an axe, half squatting, stretched out my hand to hold the carrying pole, and as soon as I exerted some force, I felt a tightness in my waist. The black stone slipped from my bosom and fell to the ground, the rope that I had tied it to my body with had already broken, and the black stone lay among the dry leaves. Nini was stiff for a moment, then threw away the water bag and rushed towards me, picked up the black stone from the ground, and looked at me and the black stone with disbelieving eyes.

  "Momo... you... where did this come from?" The voice trembled, and it was clear that anger was being suppressed.

  "My father gave me" I don't want to lose another home, so I'll answer truthfully.

  "Is your father Mo Tian?" Fen's eyes turned icy in an instant.

  "...used to be, but...not anymore" Heart, was pulled so painful.

  "That's good!" The anger in Fenfen's eyes dissipated a lot.

  "Not you, Father... Mo Tian he..." Mo Mo asked cautiously, watching Ni Ni's expression.

  "Let's go back." Nini said after returning the black stone to me. "Have you ever seen someone with blue tears on their face?"

  Cough! What reflected in my mind was the young man who had saved me multiple times, whom I called "Blue Brother". But why did he come up?

  "I've seen it. What is it?" I instinctively felt that I didn't know something. And that was very important to me!

  "We'll talk about it when we get home." Nini's face was no longer calm and peaceful, without a smile.

  Welcoming us back home besides Xiaohui is a whole house of people.

  "Who are you?" Mo Mo hid Xiao Hui behind her and gazed coldly at those people.

  "Who is that?" The black-clothed man in front of us looked at me and Nini alternately, then gave a signal to the person next to him, letting him get close to Nini. Seeing this, MoMo also protected Nini behind her back. "I am MoMo," she said with a frown, staring at the strange man.

  "Oh? So this is what Mò Mò looks like." Rao's eyes were filled with interest, without any disguise. "Wú Míng would never have thought of it. You're right at the foot of their mountain." He slowly walked over, approaching Mò Mò, who was tense all over, vigilantly protecting the person behind him.

  "What do you want?" Mo Mo blocked Fen Fen who was trying to come out from behind him.

  "I don't care how, just go to the General's mansion for me." The enchanting man fluttered back and forth in front of Mo Mo, looking left and right.

  "General's mansion? Don't go!" Fenfen pulled tightly on MoMo's clothes from behind.

  "Hey... isn't that behind you... Miss and Master of the Meng family?" The demonic man looked over MoMo's head and saw FeiFei and XiaoHui.

  "There's no young lady from a wealthy family here, don't look." Mo Mo puffed out her chest and shielded the person behind her even more tightly.

  "Alright...alright...as long as Mo Mo follows me, everything will be fine." The charming man made a please gesture. A black-clad person had already opened the door for Mo Mo.

  "Fei Fei, thank you. Sorry to have caused you and Xiao Hui to move house. When I get back, I'll find you at Wuming!" Mo Mo shouted as he was about to leave.

  "I'm telling you, Nameless Inkwell Master, no need to beat around the bush. Do you think I'd let Nameless find them? Haha, besides, Nameless can't even find you, how would they come to rescue you?"

  "Who says Mo Tan can't be found?!" A familiar voice echoed outside the door. The same beauty, the man outside was mature and elegant, while the man inside was evil and charming.

  "Han Lin! First protect Fei Fei and the others as they leave!" Mo Mo remembered that she still had a younger brother at home.

  "Han Guanshi, I advise you not to move, the unknown master is in my hands"

  "Dugu Ying'er, I advise you too, let the master go, otherwise, Wuchuang Hall is not a place to be trifled with. I think Qianjue Hu also doesn't want to be an enemy of Wuming, right?" Han Lin's internal energy surged, his clothes fluttering.

  "Alright, I've heard that Han Lin's Tianxia Wushuang is extremely powerful. Today, I'll come to learn from him!"

  In the sky, it seemed like a thousand swords were stabbing towards Han Lin, but all that was seen was a flash of white light, and Dugu Ying'er had already grasped the broken sword and retreated several steps, being held up by someone behind her.

  "Cough, cough, indeed the unparalleled in the world, awesome, Shadow admires." The demonically charming man released Mo Mo, and with a display of lightness skill, from near to far, those swaying trees gradually came to a stop.

  "Momo, you've made me search for so long!" As he spoke, Han Lin was about to pounce on Momo's body. Momo quickly raised his arms to push Han Lin away.

  "You're really not letting me off easy." Han Lin continued to examine Mo's hand for injuries, undeterred by his refusal.

  "I'm fine," Mo Mo patted Han Lin's hand. "My mother..." Mo Mo finally couldn't help but ask about Su Man Ran.

  "The Queen is worried about you, Mo Mo." Han Lin said, looking into Mo Mo's eyes. "This matter can't be blamed on her, and you shouldn't blame yourself either. Mo Tian didn't blame you for anything. He chose not to tell you, just so that you could be strong, even if it meant bearing the name of a bad person, as long as you lived well. What was he doing this for? I think you understand too, right?"

  "Yes, Father... " Hmph, can I still call him Father? Mu Mu thought to herself.

  "Momo, let's go back to Wú Míng." Han Lin took Momo's hand.

  "Wait!" Mo ran back to the small hut, pulling on Fei's sleeve and asking "How did you know that was a Xuanmo Mystic Stone?"

  "It's all because of it that Xiaohui and I have been hiding everywhere. Father refused to hand over the Xuanmo Mist Stone from the beginning, and the Emperor secretly colluded with Mo Tian to slaughter my Dream House!" In Nifen's captivating gaze, Mo saw hatred.

  "Fei Fei, come with me to Wú Míng (Unknown) okay?" Mo Mo sincerely wanted to give Fei Fei and her brother a stable place.

  "Alright." Mo saw a glint in Fei's eyes for an instant.

  "Dad... Mo Tian is... already gone" Mo Mo took a deep breath, looking into Fei Fei's eyes and said "He died not long ago, right in front of me"

  "How is it possible? Who could have killed him!" Fenfen clearly didn't believe it.

  "It's true, if he hadn't died, how would the Xuanmo Mystic Stone end up in my hands?"

  Feifei's knees went soft and she was about to kneel on the ground. "Then won't I be hopeless for revenge? What's the point of practicing martial arts?" Feifei's face was covered in tears, and she pulled out a book from her bosom and threw it at the wall opposite her. Mo ran over to pick it up and tried to stuff it back into Feifei's bosom. "I don't want it! This martial art is useless anyway!" Feifei lost her usual gentle appearance. Dumbly, Ren Mo pulled back the nameless one.

  Nameless Cold Moon Hall

  "Xiao Hui, how's your sister?" Mo Mo carried a bowl of medicine and came in to see Xiao Hui lying by Fen Fen's bed, being very well-behaved and not making any noise.

  "Momo sister, when will my sister wake up?" Xiao Hui looked at the medicine in Momo's hand.

  "The doctor has taken a look and it's nothing serious, Xiao Hui." Mo Mo patted Xiao Hui's head and smiled at him.

  Little Grey

  "Huh?" Xiao Hui finally shifted his gaze from Fei Fei's face to Mo Mo.

  "Do you hate me?" Mo saw in him a reflection of himself from several years ago and didn't want hatred to ruin another child.

  "Family matters, my sister never tells me. Since I was a child, I've been sent to the Western Building Manor to practice martial arts, until two years ago when my sister took me away." Little Gray replied truthfully.

  Mo Mo silently hugged Xiao Hui tightly, trying to pass on her warmth to Xiao Hui.

  "Master Mo, three hall masters are waiting for you." Xiao He came in and reported with his head down, seemingly not daring to look at Mo Mo.

  "Uh-huh, I see."

  General Forum

  Li Sihao, the "Ink Master", stood up and paid his respects as Mo Mei walked into the hall.

  "Li Tangzhu, no need to bow to me," Mo Mo was still not used to everyone treating her with courtesy.

  "I want to re-elect the host" Mo said as soon as she sat down, stating today's purpose.

  "Qianyi, Lianyue, what are your opinions?" Li Sixing turned his head and asked.

  "We don't want to re-elect," Qianyi said with a smile, looking at her good friend Lianyue.

  "Yes, Master Mo" Mo Xue looked at Mo Mo with a gentle smile.

  "But I..." Mo Mo hastily stood up from his seat upon hearing Lian Yue's words.

  "We know, but now there is no suitable person for the position of forum master. Mò Mò, don't think you're not doing well. We believe in your ability, we dare to let you take the position of forum master, and we have already made preparations for any changes. You just need to work hard to learn from it and improve yourself!" Lian Yue spoke like a kind mother, but Mo Mo felt an unparalleled sense of closeness.

  "Alright, Mo Zhu, you should go rest instead. I heard from Han Lin that you had a shock today." Li Si Xing said with an expressionless face.

  Previous story split line

  Mo Qing had just persuaded Xiao He to leave the bedroom.

  "Even if it's herself as a daughter, she still isn't used to others undressing her", Xiao He muttered to herself as she walked, complaining. She didn't notice the black shadow that flashed by beside her.

  "This is... Mo's book" Mo, who had just taken off her coat, picked up the book on the floor. Then she felt dizzy and fell onto the bed. When her eyes finally stopped seeing stars, she saw Hanlin's face right in front of her.

  "Uh... you already know I'm a girl, right?" MoMo awkwardly tried to push away HanLin, but she couldn't succeed, and HanLin was still stuck on her.

  "I knew it! What's this?" Han Lin snatched the secret book from Mo Mo's hands.

  "Cut off emotions? Do you want to practice?" Han Lin stood up and also pulled Mo Mo up.

  "Han Lin! You... can't you be like this in the future?" Mo Mo said with some anger.

  "Alright, alright, don't be angry! I'm leaving now!" Han Lin seemed to have been wronged greatly, making Mo Mo feel a bit unbearable.

  Outside, a string of Hanlin's laughter was left behind, while inside, MoMo covered her mouth and stood still.

  In the middle of the night, that familiar chill appeared again. Mo Mo opened his eyes to see someone who was usually in the dark standing in the candlelight.

  "You..." Mo didn't know what to say because he was playing with her pendant again.

  "That book is absolutely heartbreaking"

  "You look great in the light, why hide in the dark?" MoMo stared at the person in front of her for a moment, lost in thought.

  "That book has the solution to the mysterious stone and..." The man in black leaned in close to Mo's face, as if expecting to see a red apple.

  "And what?" Mo hid back a little.

  "And your background" The man in black smiled charmingly. Mo Mo felt his heart inexplicably tremble for a moment.

  When Mo Mo came back to his senses, the man in black made a move as if he was going to leave. Mo Mo stretched out his hand towards him, seemingly wanting to grasp something, but ultimately didn't take it any further and remained silent.

  "My name is Wuye" The man in black left a sentence before leaving.

  What's called Wú Yè? Hehe... Wú Yè...

  Lost in thought, Mo Mo forgot about the ancient scroll that could unlock the mysteries of the Mystic Ink Stone.
