Chapter 331: Asking for a Hand

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

It has already been four days since Ye Mo arrived at the Tiandu City. Ye Mo could no longer stay put as he walked along the corridor towards the living room, wanting to get out for some fresh air.

“Lady, why were you so rash, spending 4500 Mixed Energy Pills on that century-old Pearl Pill for that Ye Xiao? Master will be fuming when he returns. If not for the Second Lady informing me, I would still have been kept in the dark.” Elder Tong Shan sat in the living room, his face filled with anger and anxiety.

4500 Mixed Energy Pills was not a small sum for the Tong Family.

“This man is already a Level Two Seal Artist at such a tender age. His potential is limitless and worthy of our investment,” Tong Lan said calmly, her expression unchanged.

“Investment? Lady, you are viewing this issue too simply. A man like him will leave sooner or later. Do you think that he will return and repay us once he rises up the ranks in the future? With the mirage set to appear, we could definitely have used the 4500 Mixed Energy Pills to hire some Energy Shaping Ninth Realm fighters, giving us a greater chance of winning the battle for the Kraken House.” Elder Tong Shan sighed as he spoke.

“If Father asks about those 4500 Mixed Energy Pills, tell him that it was my idea. The seals are almost ready. Our Tong Family has more than 50 Energy Shaping Fifth Realm members, more than 30 Energy Shaping Sixth Realm members, and 10 Energy Shaping Seventh Realm members. That should be enough to deal with the men from the Tie Family and Mu Family,” Tong Lan said as she frowned. There were plenty of members available, but only a handful who were in the top tier in terms of strength.

Tong Yao was in the Energy Shaping Eighth Realm, and Tong Lan herself in the Energy Shaping Ninth Realm. As for Elder Tong Shan, he was already had a foot in the True Energy Realm and also had a guard in the Energy Shaping Ninth Realm.

The mirage represented a battle of houses – it was not a mere numbers game. The reason for mobilizing so many members was to cut off any loose ends. Those who were truly able to enter the house had to be at least in the Energy Shaping Ninth Realm. Otherwise, they would be slaughtered before they could even enter.

“The Tie Family and Mu Family have three Energy Shaping Ninth Realm fighters and two fighters who have one foot in the True Energy Realm. We have to pull some strings and get a few Energy Shaping Ninth Realm fighters on our side. Otherwise, when the mirage appears, we will not have much of an advantage when fighting for the Kraken House,” Elder Tong Shan said, his face revealing an expression of worry.

Tong Lan recalled what happened in the Ju Bao Tower. Ye Mo was able to send Tie Ruyu flying with a single slap, and his strength level must be in the Energy Shaping Ninth Realm. However, following that, she shook her head and got rid of the idea.

“I will find a way to get a strong elite fighter here,” Tong Lan said and left the Tong Residences.

Watching this scene, Ye Mo frowned but did not say anything before returning to his room.

“You’re really not going to lend them a hand?” Ling’er asked after they returned to the room.

“If I help them, I will become a target for both the Tie and Mu Families. If I operate alone, I will be in the shadows while they will be out in the open. Wouldn’t that make it easier for me to help them?” Ye Mo said as he shrugged his shoulders.

Working solo, coupled with the fact that he was in the Energy Shaping Seventh Realm, Ye Mo’s presence was definitely not going to be noticed. It was going to be much easier to engage in either an ambush attack or discrete assistance for the Tong Family.

On the contrary, if an Energy Shaping Seventh Realm fighter like Ye Mo followed the Tong Family into the Kraken House, he would definitely attract the attention of others.

Comparing the two options, Ye Mo naturally picked the former.

As the sun pierced through the restraints of the cloud and shone down on the Tiandu Waters, the Tong Residences seemingly started to bustle. Ye Mo, who was in a cross-legged meditating state, was attracted by the commotion outside.

Opening his eyes, Ye Mo opened the windows and saw that Tong Lan had brought a young man with her. They stood on the front yard of the Tong Residences.

The young man was around 20-years old and carried a fiery red long sword on his back. Standing behind Tong Lan, he had a sinister smile on his face.

As for the Tong Family Clan members, they were all checking out the man with faint anger on their faces.

Some of them even started fighting but were all defeated in a single move by the young man.

“That man should be in the Energy Shaping Ninth Realm. Don’t tell me he is the elite fighter brought by Tong Lan?” Ye Mo wondered, before hearing knocking on his door. Closing his window, Ye Mo walked towards the door and opened it.

All he saw was Tong Yao, frowning, as she stood in front of him, seemingly wanting to say something.

Ye Mo was quite troubled looking at her state.

Ye Mo was the first to break the silent atmosphere as he asked, “Second Lady Tong, is there a reason you are here looking for me?”

Tong Yao raised her head, her pair of beautiful eyes staring straight at Ye Mo. Hesitating for a moment, she said, “I seek your forgiveness for what happened previously. I am here to apologize to you.” After speaking, Tong Yao bowed slightly towards Ye Mo, her attitude extremely sincere.

This behavior was completely different from the Second Lady Tong that Ye Mo knew from a few days ago.

“Second Lady Tong, you can be straightforward if you have something to say,” Ye Mo said.

This Tong Yao definitely had something on her mind. However, due to his lack of familiarity with her, Ye Mo could not guess what she wanted as well.

“I secretly followed you and Sister when the two of you went to the Ju Bao Tower. I have seen your abilities, and I hope you can defeat Ling Xiao and take his place,” Tong Yao pleaded.

“Oh?”

Ling Xiao was most probably the Energy Shaping Ninth Realm elite from before, whom they had hired for external assistance.

Ye Mo could feel that Ling Xiao’s strength level was no longer below that of Tang Hao’s son, Tang Malong. Such strength was definitely going to be of big help to the Tong Family. Ye Mo did not understand why she wanted him to replace his position.

Ye Mo smiled slightly as he said, “Second Lady Tong, why? That Ling Xiao is quite strong and probably stronger than your sister. He will greatly help the Tong Family in the fight for the Kraken House.”

Thinking about Ling Xiao, a hint of anger flashed across Tong Yao’s eyes.

“You should know that among the two other houses, our Tong Family’s strength is the weakest. Sister is determined to emerge victorious in the fight for the Kraken House. As for that Ling Xiao, do you know what condition he issued for agreeing to help our Tong Family fight for the Kraken House? If we successfully retrieve the treasure within the Kraken House, Sister will have to marry him.”

“I see.”

Ye Mo was also rather taken aback. That explained the Tong Family Clan members’ expressions when they saw Ling Xiao – it was as if they had seen a ghost.

“That Ling Xiao comes from one of the weakest family clans in the Tiandu City. However, a talent like him was able to stand out from the family. Our Tong Family has no male offspring, which means that if we successfully take down the Kraken House, Sister will have to marry into the Ling Family. The treasure that we so painstakingly worked towards getting will all be to the Ling Family after all is said and done,” Tong Yao said as her expression turned furious.

“Looks like your sister had no choice but to invite that Ling Xiao for help.” Ye Mo shrugged and gave Tong Yao a few pats on her shoulder as he said, “Bring me there now. I will let him know that based on his strength, he is still unworthy of helping the Tong Family.”
