Chapter 127: I See Through You


    Li Mo paid the school a visit, days since hisst time here. The others attitudes towards him had changedpletely.


    The rightful heir to Shenjings Li n, Li Mo, now received constant bootlicking.


    He just stepped into the ssroom and almost all his mates greeted him. Those that were a bit more conscious about themselves chose to only smile at him.


    All except one, Huang Yao.


    Huang Yao noticed himing but behaved like he didnt exist, lowering her head in the books.


    Good morning folks.


    Ao Jiuxiao walked in as well. He only had an interest in Li Mo, his eyes glittering at the sight of him.


    Student Li Mo, its been a while.


    Li Mo frowned.


    Li Mo never took kindly to this teacher Ao Jiuxiao because his enthusiasm was a bit groundless. He had a bad feeling about him that stemmed doubts.


    Ao Jiuxiaoughed, Student Li Mo what did you have for breakfast?


    Li Mos mouth twitched.


    Breadstick, soy milk, and a boiled egg from the best shop on Xi Street. They had excellent skills and tasted divine. I can take you whenever youre free.


    No need.


    Its no problem.


    Li Mo sighed.


    Ao Jiuxiao chatted a bit more before starting the lesson. Enthusiasm aside, his teaching was quite exemry. With ample examples and clear exnations.


    At the end of ss, Ao Jiuxiao was back before Li Mo, Student Li Mo, are you free at noon? Want to eat lunch together?


    Im busy.


    Another day perhaps. Whenever you have time,e find me. Im always free.


    Ao Jiuxiao leftughing.


    Brother Mo, care for a smoke?


    Chen Hai skipped over with a cigarette in hand but Li Mo passed.


    Youve been gone for so long Im starting to pin for you.


    Just act natural.


    Chen Hais attitude did a u-turn from before. That was his fathers, Chen Zhengzhong, fault for being so fake. This was one attitude Li Mo never liked to see.


    I get it, bro Mo. You must be busy.


    Chen Hai left whit onest ttery.


    The others were whispering in a corner.


    In the purview of his mates, Li Mo looked to have been reborn, going from rags to riches overnight.


    Only one person there wasnt too enthused by Li Mos sess. And all this time, Huang Yao kept her nose in her books.


    When school was over, Huang Yao met him when he was leaving the schoolyard.


    Li Mo, Ive changed. So why do you still ignore me?


    Eh?


    Ive been working hard on my studies and even improved my grades.


    How does your sess have anything to do with me? Li Mo felt helpless.


    After that day, I thought long and hard. I realized where I was wrong. Ive thus decided to change my wrongs and now theres only one man that I love, you Li Mo. I dont care about anyone else.


    I am still working hard on my studies. Getting the best grades is the only way to make me worthy of you.


    Miss Huang Yao, theres something you dont get.


    What may that be?


    I have cast aside my title as heir to Shenjings Li n and entered the Longhu Mountains Celestial Master Abode as a disciple. I am just a mere Daoist and here is my token.


    Impossible. Dont lie to me.


    You can ask around if you like. Im sure everything about me is on the inte already.


    Huang Yao skeptically took out her phone and searched. Li Mo was indeed an official disciple of Celestial Master Abode.


    J-just what are you thinking?


    Nothing really. I never cared about money. My true goal is to pry into the Almighty Heaven.


    Y-you. Li Mo, I was dreadfully wrong about you. I have always given you chances to change for the better. Only now I see what a hopeless case you are.


    Li Mo cracked up.


    Huang Yao snapped, Whats so funny?


    Nothing, nothing at all.


    It was my wish to be a disciple of Celestial Master Abode, but it was also because of a more selfish reason. My second uncle has a son. He wants his son to inherit the family business, so the Li n cant have me.


    Youre saying you were cast out? Huang Yao realized.


    Right, oh so perfectly right. Ive been cast out.


    But did they give you anything in return?


    Yeah, around two hundred thousand stocks. But I will get them when I marry.


    Y-you are such a disappointment.


    Huang Yao left in a huff.Only allowed on


    Li Mo took a deep breath and only calmed down after a long time.


    It was all for her fathers sake that he had even this modicum of decorum.


    She always nagged and with bottomless greed. This was one type he never wanted to meet with again.


    Student Li Mo! Student Li Mo!


    Huang Yao just left and Ao Jiuxiao took her ce.


    Ao Jiuxiao was riding a womens bicycle and stopped before Li Mo, Get on, Ill give you a ride.


    No need. Li Mos mouth twitched.


    No need to be so polite with your teach.


    Im not in the least. I just dont need to!


    Li Mo hailed a cab and went in, going to the store to get some daily necessities. When he got home, he was hailed by a weirdo, ruining any mood he had left.


    Youre back. Ive been waiting for ages.


    Li Mo found Yang Hongying between him and his home.


    What are you doing?


    What what? I got you in so why arent you thanking me yet? The least you could do is invite me to your family for a meal.


    I am a family of one.


    No biggie. Im not picky, an instant noodles will do.


    I am dirt poor.


    A chat is also nice.


    Li Mo opened his gate and closed it behind him.


    Yang Hongying lost it, Have you no manners at all?


    You call haunting my house with your soul having manners?


    I-I, humph. Im not leaving unless you let me in.


    Suit yourself.


    You you


    Yang Hongying blew a gasket.


    She never left ever since they came back after Li Mos test, wanting to barge into his home like it was the order of the day. Her aim was simple, to find Li Mos soul power item.


    Ive just about had it with him.


    She waited at the gates a half an hour more, then left bitter and filled with rancor.


    Seeing as neither by soul nor being pushy got her entry, she was at her wits end.


    In the living room, the Yellow Emperors three demons were engrossed in Investiture of the Gods soap opera.


    They were at the final episode when the nine-tailed fox was beheaded. Jade pipa sighed, I never wouldve guessed us three demons of Yellow Emperors tomb to have such fate


    Nine-headed pheasant gritted her teeth, Everyone became gods, even the dead King Zhou became one, while only us were left behind.


    Whitey was silent. She read the original Investiture of the Gods book then watched the soap oper with her demon sisters. Her knowledge was far wider than theirs.


    Masters back.


    Master~


    The three demons weed Li Mo with open arms.
