Chapter 2769
His feeling was stirred after hearing her speak while pouring cup after cup of wine, so he asked softly, “Then, what is stopping you from entering it? That place, according to my master, is another realm with powerful exponents above the celestial level.”
“Yes! Once the door is opened, it will lead to a new realm with more powerful cultivators and may be better suited for immortal cultivators.”
She spoke slowly as she poured another glass of wine and gulped it down. After she finished drinking, She placed the cup on the table with force and looked at Mo Chen. “But to what end? My family and friends, those I love and care about, are all in this part of the world. Tell me, why should I go there by myself? Will pursuing immortality truly cause me to become a loner who abandons my familial ties and affection?”
There was a spark in Mo Chen’s eyes when he heard this. He looked down and took a sip from the cup in front of him, but he didn’t say anything. He just listened quietly to Feng Jiu talk until, after a lengthy talk, she suddenly turned to face him.
“Why don’t you say anything?”
Mo Chen was taken aback but then gave her a gentle smile. “I’m listening; have you finished speaking? Did it make you feel better after you said it?”
Feng Jiu gave him a sidelong glance but said nothing.
“Is it because of the woman surnamed Yun, who stays in your Manor? She caused your bad mood?” Mo Chen asked, smiling and looking at her. “This does not reflect your typical style or character.”
“I’m not in a bad mood because of that woman.” Feng Jiu retorted. Just as she was about to pour another wine, Mo Chen stopped her.
“Fine, don’t drink anymore. It’s bad for your health.” He asked, looking at her, “If it’s not that woman, is it Mo Ze who irritates you? What did he do to irritate you?”
After a period of silence, Feng Jiu replied, “He didn’t irritate me, but I’m not in a good mood.” She secretly returned to see the man she loved, but to her surprise, he was accompanied by another woman.
Despite the fact that she was his junior sister, he had never walked so closely with other women before. Another reason was that he did not recognise her when they met again, and when she returned home, he spoke to protect the woman as if he was afraid she would do something to the woman.
This caused her, who had returned in a cheerful mood, to feel strangely low and sullen. Even though they hadn’t even argued, this kind of resentment was difficult to express in words.
Mo Chen smiled and spoke softly to her “During this time period, I have visited Feng Manor multiple times, and I have also encountered the woman surnamed Yun twice. In addition to her good looks and remarkable bearing, she is not stupid; otherwise, Mo Ze would not have allowed her to stay at Feng Manor.”
“I don’t believe she’s not interested in Mo Ze. It’s just a good disguise on her part. Mo Ze is completely unaware of it. Perhaps he has treated her differently from the beginning. You can rest assured, however, that you are, in my opinion, the only one in Mo Ze’s heart. Even if she treats that woman surnamed Yun differently, it should be because she is his junior sister.”
Feng Jiu stared at him and said indignantly, “Is there anyone else so reassuring to others as you?”
“Hehe, I’m simply telling the truth.” Mo Chen laughed. “However, if you truly dislike that woman, can’t you let her leave Feng Manor and stay in Ling Manor instead?”
