Chapter 10: The Past (7)

Jiulian Pavilion, the sun is shining outside, the people are buzzing inside, and the auction has entered the final end.

"The last auction item was a wooden ring. Mei Niang showed a ring in front of everyone, only to see that the ring was made of wood, this kind of ring, usually only ordinary people who love each other will wear.

"What the hell! I thought the last auction item would be the same as the Realm Breaking Pill, a precious thing! A wooden ring? a mundane thing? Mei Niang, are you sure you are holding this wooden ring, not the [World Ring]!" someone said dissatisfied, and then, a burst of laughter rang out from the Jiulian Pavilion.

Even the top ten martial clans on the fourth layer all showed kind smiles, with only one exception - Mo Tiange.

Since this wooden ring was displayed in front of everyone, only Xiao Tiange's gaze has never left the wooden ring for a moment, he seems to be enchanted, and there seems to be a voice in his mind that is constantly echoing.

"Get it!"

As an auctioneer, Mei Niang is also smiling bitterly at the moment, all the auction items today come from the martial arts of the nine organization towns, and she knows the owner behind each auction item well, but this one seems to appear out of thin air, but the martial arts clan, as the organizer, seems to turn a blind eye, and regards it as the last auction item.

Although Mei Niang didn't understand, she was an auctioneer after all, and the auctioneer's only duty was to prevent the auction items in her hands from being auctioned: "Everyone, please don't be impatient." This wooden ring is indeed not a [world ring], but it is not a mundane thing either. Identified by our inspectors, this wooden ring is magical. ”

Speaking of this, she deliberately stopped, this is the auctioneer's usual trick, and at this time, some people will ask, "Oh, magic, what a magic method?"

Mei Niang smiled with satisfaction and said, "This wooden ring, the fire does not burn, the knife does not break, and the sword cuts constantly." We once asked a third-order martial artist to use the martial art and try to destroy it, but what was the result? Ladies and gentlemen, even if it is the [World Ring], if the material is not good enough, I am afraid that it will not be able to withstand an attack by the third order of the military general! Even the powerhouses of the military general realm can't do anything about it, but it is conceivable that this wooden ring must have a secret that we don't know. Perhaps, it has to do withβ€”"

"The road to kinghood. ”

The last four words, Mei Niang said very lightly, but everyone's breathing became very heavy the moment the words fell, including the head of the First Martial Clan, Lai Xijiang.

But it was only that moment, and in the blink of an eye, everyone's minds regained their coolness. Indeed, Wang Jing was an irresistible temptation for everyone here, and it was just a hot head that was just bewitched by Mei Niang's words before. This is also a common technique used by auctioneers, even if it is useless, the auctioneer can say that it is a treasure that occurs once in a thousand years. And to say that such a wooden ring that has not explored its usefulness is related to the road to becoming a king, there may be this possibility, but it is more likely that it is just "the fire does not burn, the knife does not break, and the sword is constantly chopping".

"Heh! Having said so much, it's all nonsense! Quote, if the price is right, some of us may buy it back as a souvenir. ”

"Good. This wooden ring is not the price of our Jiulian Pavilion, but the owner behind it. The starting price-" Mei Niang took a deep breath, as if once this price was said, even she couldn't believe it.

"A hundred. ”

There was a slight pause.

"Ink Crystal!"

The audience was silent, and after a breath, the audience was in an uproar.

"A hundred Ink Crystal Coins, the Realm Breaking Pill is the price!"

"Before, when the starting price of the Realm Breaking Pill was a Ink Crystal coin, I said why didn't they grab it. I was wrong, they were really just robbing!"

"Did I hear me right? 100 pieces? What kind of ink crystal coins are special?!

World rings, also known as storage rings. Legend has it that there was once a perfect storage ring in the Jiwu Continent, and it was also the first storage ring born in the Jiwu Continent, and the space inside was like a complete world. Therefore, later, all storage rings were called "world rings", taking the meaning of "world".

Just when everyone was talking and expressing their dissatisfaction, in the Mo family's room, Xiao Tiange pulled Mo Yongfan's sleeve.

"Daddy, I want to. ”

Mo Yongfan was frowning and looking at the wooden ring in Mei Niang's hand, but no matter how he looked at it, the wooden ring was so ordinary, and when he suddenly heard his son say this, he immediately lowered his face, and said in an extremely heavy tone, "Nonsense! Do you know that a hundred ink crystal coins are earned by how many people in our Mo family have worked hard to earn back! This wooden ......"

Before he finished speaking, he was stopped by Mo Yonghong with his eyes. Mo Yonghong motioned to Mo Yongfan to look at Xiao Tiange, and Mo Yongfan found that Xiao Tiange drooped his head, and tears slid down his little face, turning into teardrops and breaking on the floor.

When Xiao Tiange was three years old, he was ruthlessly abandoned in Mo Yuan by Mo Yongfan, leaving him to support himself, Xiao Tiange did not cry.

For hundreds of days and nights on Mo Yuan, when only the stars and the moon and the night wind accompanied him, he didn't cry.

When he encountered a bottleneck in his practice but could only be alone, he did not cry.

He didn't cry when he fell and bled and was scalded by hot water and had nothing to eat and was hungry.

Now, under his father's angry rebuke, he cried.

Perhaps, in his young heart, he knew that he should not have made this request, but the voice in the dark told him that if he missed this wooden ring, he would miss a peerless opportunity.

Mo Yongfan silently looked at Xiao Tiange's appearance, and suddenly sighed: Maybe I haven't been a good "father" for a long time.

He turned around, looked at the still noisy crowd, and said in a deep voice.

"A hundred Ink Crystals. ”

It was his first bid at the auction.

Xiao Tiange heard a familiar voice, and suddenly raised his head, looking at Mo Yongfan's back with red eyes.

"This is just one time, not the next one. ”

Father's voice came, and the tearful little Tiange smiled.

"And, remember. Manly tears can only be shed for those you love. ”

Xiao Tiange nodded vigorously, but he didn't wipe away the tears in his eyes, because his father said that manly tears can only be shed for the people he loves. And his father, his family, is exactly the one he loves.

As soon as Mo Yongfan finished bidding, everyone closed their mouths and looked at him with all kinds of obscure eyes, as if they were looking at a fool.

There was only one person who looked at him with a solemn look in his eyes, Lai Xijiang.

"Elder Me, do you think, is it him?"

"According to the old slave, no. Behind Lai Xijiang, an old man with a rickety body walked up to Lai Xijiang, looked at Mo Yongfan carefully, and replied after a while.

"Elder Me, I believe in your observation. But what I don't understand is, why is it?" Lai Xijiang's eyes were confused, "Could it be that the person that person is looking for is Mo Yongfan?"

"That person ......" When the old man said these three words, he couldn't help but shudder, he remembered the events of that day.

That person suddenly appeared in Lai Xijiang's study, and no one in the entire Lai family noticed. That person easily grabbed Lai Xijiang, put the index finger of his right hand on Lai Xijiang's abdomen, and the old man still remembered every word that person said: [Wudan] The abolished Lai Xijiang, will he still be the head of the Lai family?

Wudan, in fact, is a martial arts skill. The seeds germinate, blossom, and then bear fruit, and the fruit is Wudan. If Wu Dan is abolished, then this person will also be abolished, and he is not even as good as a mortal, and he can only spend his life on the sickbed.

That person appeared mysteriously and disappeared mysteriously, if it weren't for the box with the wooden ring on Lai Xijiang's table, maybe he would have thought he was dreaming. After all, being able to enter and exit the Lai family, the top-ranked martial clan, without being discovered, and even having the strength to make Lai Xijiang's life and death worse with one move, such a person, if you think about it carefully, I am afraid that there are only ......

The powerhouse of the King Realm!

And then it turned out to be the way it is. Lai Xijiang still wanted to see what the mysterious man wanted to do with all the trouble? Then just see who would buy this wooden ring. After all, it is estimated that no one will be idle and throw a hundred ink crystal coins into the water. In the eyes of Lai Xijiang and others, buying this wooden ring, which I don't know what it does, is a stupid way to throw money into the water. And if there are such people, then it is worth noting.

It's a pity that the old man didn't find anything. Mu has always been a person who has been by Lai Xijiang's side for decades, and he can follow Lai Xijiang for so long because of his eagle-like eyes. He can observe a person through those eyes, and then analyze a person's variety. And he found that Mo Yongfan didn't have any emotional ups and downs, and even hid a little helplessness.

Can you not be helpless? 100 ink crystal coins to make my son happy. That's a hundred Ink Crystal Coins!

"Forget it...... Lai Xijiang waved his hand weakly, "Maybe it's just a coincidence." ”

On the field, naturally, no one was bidding with Mo Yongfan, and the wooden ring was successfully delivered to the Mo family's room.

Xiao Tiange couldn't wait to bring the wooden ring to the tail finger of his left hand, and it was strange to say that this wooden ring just matched him, as if this wooden ring was tailor-made for him. It's a pity that no matter what method Mo Yongfan and Mo Yonghong used, they didn't find any difference between the wooden ring, let alone this is a world ring.

Helplessly, let's take it as a gift from a father to his son, although this gift is a bit expensive......

The auction finally came to an end, and Mo Yongfan immediately fulfilled his promise to visit Lai's family, and met Lai's daughter-in-law, his future daughter-in-law.

The little girl is two years younger than Xiao Tiange, although she is only three years old, she is not afraid of life at all, her little head is raised high, and she is as proud as a peacock. On the contrary, it was another little girl with pink makeup hiding behind her, according to Lai Xijiang, she was the little girl's half-sister, she saw Mo Yongfan and the three of them, and grabbed the corner of her sister's skirt tightly, only revealing a pair of shy little eyes, especially every time her eyes turned to Xiao Tiange, she would subconsciously shrink her little head, for fear of being seen by Xiao Tiange. didn't know that Xiao Tiange had already noticed her, and her black eyes even revealed a look of curiosity that was even stronger than that of her sister, and she made a grimace at her.

Xiao Tiange also knew the names of the sisters for the first time - the elder sister is called Lai Yuehong, and the younger sister is called Lai Mengtian.

After visiting Lai's family, it was already in the waning days, and the three of them from the Mo family rushed to Qingtang Town. The sky, which should have been dusk under the sunset, was a little dim at the moment, with black clouds faintly overheading in the distance, and electric lights flickering.

"The storm is coming, we have to hurry. ”

The three of them quickened their pace.

Qingtang Town, Mo Family, Council Hall, the first place.

A man with black hair crossed his hands, holding his chin, and the smile on the corner of his mouth made people feel like a spring breeze. Beside the man, there stood a middle-aged man with only his right arm, who bowed slightly and groveled.

Mo Yonghua fell to the ground, dying.

Inside the council hall, the atmosphere was as oppressive as an impending storm.
