NOVEL WEB Chapter 32: Everything Has a Price!
Pink Blossom Tree Sect…
Outside the room of Chi Kai…
"What are you all doing here? Don't you see hundreds of nasty things? What else is there to see?"
Suddenly, a chubby woman appeared before the door of Chi Kai's room and shouted at the group of women who were eavesdropping.
Like insects seeing fire, all the women ran away in fear. Then the chubby woman began knocking on the door of Chi Kai's room continuously.
"What is it?" Chi Kai asked impatiently as she opened the door slightly.
But after seeing the chubby woman, the impatient look on Chi Kai's face vanished completely.
"Sister Soku, did my mother come back?" she asked with a smile.
"Yes, she is waiting for you. Also, she knows that you've been roaming around with a guy all over the sect," Soku replied with a serious look.
"That's not a problem. That's why I'll be there in a minute," Chi Kai replied and slammed the door.
Mo Han had already stood up and got ready to leave.
With a covering-up smile, Chi Kai said, "Let's go. The elder who can test your body constitution has arrived. We'll be done with it right away."
Mo Han slightly nodded his head, having clearly heard the conversation that Chi Kai's mother had arrived.
They both climbed carrier eagles and reached the sixth floor, where the elders of the sect resided.
Chi Kai asked Mo Han to wait outside and entered alone to meet her mother.
Su Kai, the elder of the Class Ward Cultivation Hall, sat on a chair, waiting for her daughter, Chi Kai.
"Greetings, Elder," Chi Kai bowed with respectful greetings.
"Who gave you permission to roam with a guy?" Su Kai asked directly, with a serious look.
"Mother, you are misunderstanding me like everyone else. He was sent by Sister Jia Kai. He came to know his body constitution. I'm just accompanying him until you came back," Chi Kai replied like a righteous woman who was wronged by the heavenly court.
"Are you playing drama? Why would your sister send a man? Don't you know her identity is hidden in the Burning Sun Pavilion?" Su Kai asked with a fierce look as she stood up and walked close to her daughter.
"Mother, I'm not a dumb woman. Here, take a look at this."
Chi Kai passed the jade ring given by Mo Han.
Su Kai took the ring and examined it. The 'Kai' name shone inside the ring. With a single look, she was confident that it was the ring of her daughter Jia Kai.
"Why the hell did she send a man just to know his body constitution? Did she forget how important it is to hide her identity inside the Burning Sun Pavilion?" Su Kai muttered in frustration as she held the ring tightly.
"Mother, you should also know one more thing," Chi Kai said, her head down, her tone hesitant.
Su Kai immediately understood that her daughter was definitely hiding something.
"What is it? Speak!" she shouted, her face serious.
"I… I asked Sister Jia Kai to set me up with this man for my first dual cultivation session," Chi Kai finally replied in a trembling voice.
"How dare you?" Su Kai shouted almost immediately. "Can't you wait until your mother finds a good man for you? How could you make your sister do this? Don't you know how many hardships she's facing inside the Burning Sun Pavilion?"
"Mother, please… this fellow is handsome and capable. Even the entire Lily Gang failed to seduce him. He's also a master in sword cultivation. I'm sure you'll like him after seeing him," Chi Kai said while clutching the corners of her dress.
"Hmmm… What do you know about men? At your age, any man with a pretty face will look capable to you. Don't you know about your father? Even with so many good qualities, he still betrayed me. Stop daydreaming about any handsome man. I don't want you to become like me," Su Kai declared while staring at the horizon. The memory of her past swirled for a second in her mind. Rеаd аhеаd аnd gеt updаtеs by visiting М^VLЕМРYR.
"Mother, please…" Chi Kai tried to explain, but Su Kai interrupted before she could complete her sentence.
"You go out and send that fellow inside. Since your sister sent him, I'll help him find his body constitution. Other than that, there's nothing he can do here, understand?" Su Kai instructed with a serious face.
"Yes, Mother," Chi Kai said, her head down, and walked back with tears filling her eyes.
Mo Han knew something had definitely gone wrong after seeing Chi Kai's face as she came outside, her head lowered.
"Go inside… Elder is waiting for you," she said in a sad tone.
"Did she scold you?" Mo Han asked as he extended his hand to lift her head.
She took a step back and turned around reluctantly.
Shaking his head, Mo Han walked into the closed room.
"Greetings, Elder. My name is Mo Han. I came here with a single request. Please help me find my body constitution," Mo Han said respectfully.
"Hmmm… As they said, you really do have a handsome face. But you should know that a handsome face won't fetch anything for free," Su Kai commented as she sat down on the swinging chair.
"I also know that everything has a price in this world. I may not be able to pay the price right-now to know my body constitution… but I guarantee you will receive the price with interest in the near future," Mo Han replied with the same intensity.
"Hahahaha… What a joke! Do you think empty words will fetch you rewards?" Su Kai asked with a silly look.
"My words are not empty. It is your decision whether to help a seedling that might bear better-fruits in the future. Also, I am not someone who beats around the bush. If you insist I pay now, I must admit I have nothing. So you can decide whether to help me or not," Mo Han explained his situation without hiding any details.
"Not bad… not bad… you really know how to negotiate. No one would believe you're just an 18-year-old boy," Su Kai laughed, amused.
"Looks can be deceiving, Elder. I expect you to see me as an investment. Who knows… the dragon-egg may hatch in the future," Mo Han replied curtly, which stopped Su Kai from laughing.
